Heaven Defying Medical Consort - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: A Useful Person

It was already late, so Xiao Liuce was temporarily detained. His punishment would be announced the next day, and he would be expelled from the main family!

They locked him in the forbidden area of the Secluded Garden. This was the place where disciples who made mistakes were usually locked up. Xiao Canglan ordered that nobody was allowed to see them!

As for Xiao Liuyuan and his son, they had long been sent out of the main residence after they were punished.

In the dark, Xiao Liangxiao covered herself with a black cloak and held a glass lamp in her hand.

When the guards guarding Secluded Garden saw her arrive, they all looked troubled, but they still gave in.

“Miss Liangxiao, please hurry up. We have to follow orders.” Although it was the family leader who gave the order, this father-daughter duo wasn’t to be provoked.

They didn’t expect the family leader to order for Xiao Liuce to be expelled from the family!

If Xiao Liangxiao hadn’t been chosen by the Realm of Summoning she would’ve been punished even more severely!

“Thank you,” Xiao Liangxiao smiled and said gently. Even at this point, she hadn’t forgotten to pretend!

They moved aside and paid attention to their surroundings. Once someone came, they would immediately ask Xiao Liangxiao to leave.

If the chief heard about this, they would be punished too.

Seeing their group, Xiao Liangxiao pushed the door open and walked into the room.

“Xiao’er!” Xiao Liuce saw her and immediately walked up.

“Father!”

‘What should I do now? Both Second Uncle and I were sent away. Is she alone in the main house? In that case, wouldn’t our plan be…’

“Hurry up and gather our people in the family. I can’t leave. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll make a move!” said Xiao Liuce hastily. ‘When we all leave the capital, all our plans will be for naught!’

“But…”

‘If things get out of hand now and I fail, can I still enter the Realm of Summoning?’

“What are you hesitating for? When the Regent’s carriage stopped above the Xiao family today, he even promised to take Xiao Muling out to find a way to cultivate!” Xiao Liuce spoke anxiously.

They didn’t know about this at the time! They only knew that the Regent had come, but the Regent had used his martial spirit essence force to block them from hearing his words.

He only found out about this matter before Family Elder Xiao Yi came to him. At that time, he was locked in the forbidden area of Secluded Garden before he could think about it!

Also, the matter regarding the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox was too strange!

Someone in the family could summon a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox? What a joke! The Xiao family had long lost its edge and power!

Perhaps this was all part of the plan, and perhaps it had something to do with the Regent. Maybe it was all to take Xiao Muling away!

‘What?!’ Xiao Liangxiao was thunderstruck. ‘Why didn’t I hear of this before! The Regent wants to take Xiao Muling away? He wants to take her to find a cultivation method!

‘Xiao Muling has a chance to cultivate! The dragon and phoenix welcome the arrival of a genius!’ Xiao Liangxiao immediately shook her head. ‘No! Absolutely not! Xiao Muling cannot cultivate. She can’t cultivate!’

“Dad, I’ll listen to you!” Xiao Liangxiao immediately decided. ‘I can’t let Xiao Muling have a chance to make a comeback. I can’t leave any chances for her! There’s no way she can follow the Regent to cultivate! Trash will always be trash!’

Xiao Liuce looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he whispered into Xiao Liangxiao’s ear.

After hearing his words, Xiao Liangxiao smiled. Then, she took a step back and nodded. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll do what you say.”

Xiao Muling had to die!

“Yes, be quick. Do it before Xiao Qing announces my punishment!” Xiao Muling was nothing. She was just a piece of trash!

“I understand.” Xiao Liangxiao’s smile widened, and she walked back gracefully. After a few steps, her wounds started to hurt.

She looked down at her legs, gritted her teeth, and limped away.

Seeing Xiao Liangxiao leave, the guard was relieved and hurried over.

If she didn’t leave now, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves.

“Elder Liuce, I’m sorry.” After saying that, the guard quickly closed the door.

Even though his status in the Xiao family wasn’t low, the one who gave the order was the family leader. Who in the Xiao family would dare to disobey the family head’s orders?

Xiao Liuce looked at them and snorted coldly in his heart. ‘I will not lose like this! After this matter is over, I want to see who else in the Xiao family will dare to criticize me! Just a Xiao family like this… I don’t believe that these many years of meticulous planning can’t deal with Xiao Canglan!’

After they dispersed, Xiao Longxuan—who was hiding in the shadows—turned around and left with a mocking sneer in his eyes. ‘Family Leader had asked me to follow Xiao Liuce early on. Now, it seems that Family Leader’s guess was correct. Xiao Liuce won’t leave the Xiao family so obediently. He has other plans.’

Xiao Longxuan walked to Xiao Canglan’s courtyard, intending to tell Xiao Canglan what he had heard. He saw Xiao Muling opposite him.

Xiao Muling was eating, and his chief—who was cruel and irritable to the outside world—was watching her gently with a doting smile on his face. He even picked up food for her from time to time.

Every time Xiao Long saw Xiao Canglan like this, he would feel like his family leader was a two-faced person.

When facing Xiao Muling, one would never see his violent and bloodthirsty side. And in front of others, one would never see his current gentle and pampering side.

Xiao Longxuan came back to his senses and said hesitantly, “Chief…”

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t worry about anything.” Xiao Canglan looked at Xiao Muling with a smile.

Xiao Muling put down her bowl and chopsticks. She was almost done eating, so she could listen.

“Are you full?”

“Yeah.” She nodded.

Xiao Canglan then looked at Xiao Longxuan. “Speak.”

Xiao Longxuan sighed internally and said slowly, “Just as Family Leader predicted, Xiao Liuce has made his move. However, we have already sent Xiao Liuyuan and his son away from the Xiao family.”

Xiao Muling raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She knew that her father wasn’t simple.

Xiao Canglan sent Xiao Liuyuan and his son away, but he didn’t send Xiao Liuce away because he wanted to get rid of all the people on Xiao Liuce’s side!

To deal with Xiao Liuce, he had already figured out what to do.

But now, Xiao Liuce was probably still secretly laughing. He even thought that he would be able to control the Xiao family immediately!

“Got it. Take my token and get people to surround the entire Xiao Mansion. Don’t let any news out.” Xiao Canglan waved his hand.

“Yes.” Xiao Longxuan glanced at Xiao Muling before turning to leave. ‘Strange, Missy feels different from before.’

“Father, is Xiao Longxuan one of the underlings?” Xiao Muling asked after some thought. Her father had been giving orders to the men of sacrifice.

“No, but he’s as loyal as a deathsworn. He knows all about me.”

“I see.” Xiao Muling nodded thoughtfully, her eyes turning deep. ‘He’s a usable person.’

Xiao Longxuan—who had left—suddenly felt a chill run down his back. He looked back and couldn’t help but rub his arms. ‘I suddenly have a bad feeling!’
