Chapter 928: Surge!

Yue Ling wanted to ask something, but he didn’t speak up.

The moment Rong Xiu put away the green gem box, he heard knocks from outside.

“Master, I have something to report.” This was Yu Mo’s voice.

Yue Ling looked at Rong Xiu.

Rong Xiu said lightly, “Just come in.”

Yue Ling then understood that his master was the one who called Yu Mo over.

Yu Mo pushed the door to enter and lightly nodded in acknowledgment when he saw Yue Ling before bowing toward Rong Xiu. “Master, you guessed correctly. Jiang Yucheng contacted that person again.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling was stunned and immediately said sensibly, “Master, I’ll guard outside.”

Rong Xiu nodded, and Yue Ling hurriedly went out. When the latter left, he carefully closed the door.

Outside the door, Yue Ling’s expression was stern. It seems like Master is planning to take action…

…

Yu Mo had been staying in Xi Ling during this period to check on Jiang Yucheng secretly.

After the incident was exposed, the entire Jiang family was executed, and Jiang Yucheng was also locked up. Thus, Yu Mo waited for a long while before finding this clue.

“It should’ve happened yesterday.” A hint of contempt flashed across Yu Mo’s eyes. “He chose this time because the entire Jiang family has been executed, and everyone has lowered their guard toward him. This Jiang Yucheng is really extremely selfish. For his own life, he’s willing to sacrifice his entire family.”

Rong Xiu smiled nonchalantly. “He only cares about himself. It’s not strange for him to do such a thing.”

Jiang Yucheng thought that he managed to grab his last straw of survival, but he shot his own foot.

“Have you found out that person’s ident.i.ty?”

Yu Mo paused for a moment and shook his head. “I… only managed to find out that the other party had been Jiang Yucheng’s backing all along, but I didn’t find out their ident.i.ty.”

Rong Xiu didn’t seem to care. “If it was so easy for you to find out, they’d be too useless. Jiang Yucheng is now trapped in Huayang Palace. How did the news get out?”

Yu Mo’s expression turned solemn. “From my checks, there’s a specific path to send out news in Huayang Palace!”

…

Mu Residence.

The next day, bright sunlight shone in from the windows.

Mu Qinghe’s eyeb.a.l.l.s moved, and he finally opened his eyes.

His vision was blurred, and he instinctively closed his eyes.

“You’re awake?” A cold voice sounded from the side.

Mu Qinghe turned around and saw a familiar face.

Jian Fengchi crossed his arms and stared at him coldly. He had eyebags and looked very frail as if he didn’t rest well. “Not many people can make me use so much effort to save someone. From today onward, you owe me your life! Do you understand?”

Mu Qinghe sat up and held his head that hurt faintly, not having much of an expression. “Why did you waste your effort?”

I know my own body. Jian Fengchi… had no need to do so.

Hearing this, Jian Fengchi was enraged. He wanted to go up and beat his friend up. “You…”

Thinking that he only managed to save his friend with much difficulty, he endured it and pointed at Mu Qinghe furiously. “You’re really capable! I must be crazy to help you!”

Mu Qinghe leaned against the bed frame, closed his eyes, and seemed unaffected. “I don’t only owe you my life.”

I can’t even repay what I owe Chu Liuyue.

Jian Fengchi suppressed his anger and didn’t plan to continue haggling with him. He went forward, pulled over a chair, and sat opposite Mu Qinghe. “Say it! What’s wrong with your body?”

Mu Qinghe lightly said, “It’s just an old injury.”

Jian Fengchi sneered continuously. “Do you really think that I only became a heavenly doctor yesterday? The poison in your body has been there for quite some time, right? This poison is very sinister and cold. Now, it has already infiltrated your organs and limbs. Not to mention clearing it, your life is almost over even if you can get rid of it completely! Xi Ling doesn’t have this type of poison, not even the entire Tianling. Clearly, someone has poisoned you. Don’t tell me you don’t know about this.”

Mu Qinghe kept quiet and didn’t say a word as if he were too lazy to explain so much.

The two of them fell silent and faced each other.

After a moment, Jian Fengchi stood up. “Don’t worry. Even if I can’t deal with your poison, it doesn’t mean someone else can’t. I’ll just enter the palace and ask someone.”

Then, he turned around to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of the door, a voice finally sounded from behind. “Wait a minute!”

…

Chong Xu Cabinet.

Ye Ranran arrived at the medicinal garden early on and planned to tidy the herbs. After she arrived, she saw that someone was already there.

She took a closer look and shockingly yelled, “Cabinet Master?!”

Weichi Song cut away the dragon vine in his hands before straightening his back and smiling kindly at Ye Ranran.

Ye Ranran walked over and asked rather curiously, “Cabinet Master, why did you personally come to tidy it?”

Weichi Song smiled and said, “I have nothing to do, so I came over to take a look.”

Ye Ranran squinted. “You miss Liuyue?”

Back then, most of these herbs were taken care of by Liuyue. It wasn’t hard to understand why the Cabinet Master was here today.

Weichi Song smiled and gently knocked on her forehead. “Hey, it’s fine if you call her that in our Chong Xu Cabinet, but you can’t do that outside.”

Now, Chu Liuyue had already recovered her ident.i.ty. As the emperor, she was the most distinguished presence in the Tianling Dynasty, so people naturally couldn’t address her as casually as before.

“I understand!” Ye Ranran stuck out her tongue. I spent a long time accepting this fact!

“Cabinet Master, if you miss her, why don’t you directly go to the palace?”

After all, Cabinet Master is Liuyue’s mentor, right?

However, Weichi Song sighed and shook his head. “She’s definitely very busy this time. Besides…”

“Cabinet Master!” Lu Zhiyao suddenly ran over. “Cabinet Master, Qi Dahe said that he remembers about Nan Jiang!”

Weichi Song’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go!”

…

Xi Ling City gradually became peaceful.

The once arrogant Jiang family and Xiahou family were completely exterminated overnight. Other than this, many other family clans and people were implicated and washed away in this mess.

Time trickled past day by day, and the shocking news gradually seemed to calm down. People were very forgetful.

Not long later, Xi Ling City resumed its usual liveliness. It seemed like those incidents had never happened.

The thick b.l.o.o.d.y smell after the executions had finally dissipated, and normal people continued on with their lives as usual. It was as if they had already forgotten the jailed Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng.

But somewhere in the crowd where one couldn’t see, there were secret surges of chaos.

…

A month quickly pa.s.sed.

In the blink of an eye, the one-month deadline on that Xuan paper arrived.

Chu Liuyue was currently cultivating in Shaoyue Palace. She sat cross-legged with her hands on her knees as her vigorous force started circulating crazily.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Force started entering her body rapidly!

She was about to break through!
