NFBE Chapter 111: Temporarily avoiding the edge
Chapter 111: Temporarily avoiding the edge
When Ruan Haoyu saw Li Shuo coming in, he pursed his lips and turned his head away, standing behind Zhuo Sheng and the wizard, ignoring him.
It was also the first time that Li Shuo saw the grown-up Ruan Haoyu. As he looked at him carefully, he saw that he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall and slender figure, and was a handsome man. He suddenly felt a sense of pride.
Is this...his son?
The illegitimate son whom he once felt ashamed of and wanted to kill, now seemed to be better than the other useless sons in his house.
"Haoyu, why don't you come over to pay your respects to your father when you see him?" Li Shuo sat down on the main seat without any hesitation and spoke in a deep voice.
Ruan Haoyu snorted coldly and said, "I don't have a father."
"How dare you!" Li Shuo was furious. "How can you be so rebellious?"
"Haha, what a joke. How can a father who wants to kill his own child have the qualifications to accuse me of being a traitor?" Ruan Haoyu's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make Li Shuo furious.
He was about to slam the table and fly into a rage. The wizard signaled Ruan Haoyu to stop talking and stepped forward and said, "General Li, calm down. General Li came to our Medical Immortal Valley today. I guess he didn't come here just to recognize his relatives, right?"
Li Shuo then remembered that he had something important to do today, and suppressed his anger and said, "I heard that the remnant of the previous dynasty, Mu Xiaoqiao, is now in the Medical Immortal Valley. Hand her over, and I can show mercy and spare the rest of you in the Medical Immortal Valley."
Ruan Haoyu snorted coldly, "What if I don't hand it over?"
"Ruan Haoyu!" Li Shuo's anger flared up again. He stood up and pointed at Ruan Haoyu, "Do you want to rebel?"
"What? Only you are allowed to rebel, but I am not allowed to rebel?" Ruan Haoyu refused to give in and stared at Li Shuo closely.
"Mu Xiaoqiao is my wife, my woman. If a man can't even protect his own woman, how useless he is!" Ruan Haoyu said meaningfully.
Back then, Li Shuo raped his mother but ignored her, causing his mother to give birth to a child out of wedlock. Unable to bear the secular gaze, she jumped into the river in anger. This incident was like a thorn in Ruan Haoyu's heart that could not be pulled out and had nowhere to hide.
"you……"
Li Shuo was so angry that he couldn't speak. He simply ignored Ruan Haoyu and turned to Zhuo Sheng and said, "Master Zhuo, are you also refusing to hand over Mu Xiaoqiao?"
Zhuo Sheng had been sitting there without moving, and only now he spoke lazily: "Mu Xiaoqiao is my adopted daughter. I am not like some people who can harm even their own flesh and blood."
Li Shuo was so angry at the master and disciple that they just poked at his sore spot. He said bitterly, "Well, if that's the case, you can just wait for the Medical Immortal Valley to be razed to the ground."
After saying that, he stood up and walked away. However, before he had taken a few steps, he stumbled. He turned back in disbelief, "You guys..."
Before he could finish his words, he collapsed to the ground like a mountain, unconscious.
Ruan Haoyu looked at the wizard in surprise, "Godfather, what is this?"
"Since he is so arrogant, why can't we take advantage of this opportunity? Should we let him go and destroy the Medical Immortal Valley?" The wizard shook his head, "As long as he withdraws his troops, we will naturally let him go."
"But what if he wants to take revenge on the Medical Immortal Valley?"
"After this crisis, we can only follow the original plan and take Xiao Qiao away from here quickly and hide in a place where no one knows. As for the people in the Medical Immortal Valley, they will also stay out of the spotlight for the time being and come back after this matter is over."
Zhuo Sheng nodded, "That's the only way."
Mu Xiaoqiao was in the bridal chamber and had no idea what was happening outside. She ate something and sat waiting for Ruan Haoyu, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already dark. Ruan Haoyu had not come back yet. She frowned, wondering if the wedding banquet was not over yet?
I listened carefully, but there was no sound outside. Something was wrong!
Mu Xiaoqiao stood up and opened the door. The bridesmaid was still outside. Seeing her coming out, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Oh, bride, it's not appropriate to leave the room on your wedding night. Go back quickly."
"Did something happen outside?" Mu Xiaoqiao looked at the empty yard and felt uneasy.
"It's okay, the groom will be back soon, go back quickly." The matchmaker pushed Mu Xiaoqiao back to the room.
Seeing the door closed, Bride heaved a sigh of relief. The Valley Master and Deputy Valley Master asked her to stop the bride and not let her go out for the time being, but why hasn't she come back yet?
If she doesn't come back, she won't be able to stop her. I heard that the bride used to be a killer. If she gets angry...
She couldn't help but shiver. The door that had just been closed suddenly opened with a creaky sound, and the bridesmaid was startled.
"I still think it's not right..." Mu Xiaoqiao was halfway through her sentence when she saw that Xi Niang was frightened and her face turned pale. She couldn't help but asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh, nothing...nothing, bride, go back quickly."
"No, I still feel something is wrong. I have to go out and take a look." Even Zhao Minna and Ling Xiao didn't show up today, and no one came to make trouble in the bridal chamber. This was too abnormal. If something was abnormal, there must be something wrong. She couldn't wait any longer.
"But the Valley Master and the Deputy Valley Master told you not to go out..." After saying this, Xiniang suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth.
But Mu Xiaoqiao had heard it clearly. It was Zhuo Sheng and Ruan Haoyu who didn't let her go out. So, did something really happen?
"Get out of the way!" Mu Xiaoqiao suddenly shouted, scaring Xiniang so much that she immediately hid aside, trembling all over. Mu Xiaoqiao took the Soul-Breaking Sword and rushed out.
As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Zhuo Sheng coming from a distance using the Cloud-Stepping Step, and he landed in front of her in the blink of an eye.
"Godfather," Mu Xiaoqiao stepped forward, "What happened? Where's Ayu?"
"Ayu still has things to deal with. Xiao Qiao, you go back now and take some important things with you, some gold and silver jewelry, and leave all the unimportant things with me. Come with me and leave the Medical Valley immediately. Ayu will meet us outside the valley." Zhuo Sheng said anxiously.
Mu Xiaoqiao grabbed Zhuo Sheng who was about to leave and asked anxiously, "What happened? Is A Yu in danger?"
"He's fine, but I don't have time to explain it to you right now. Go pack your things. We'll be leaving in a quarter of an hour."
After saying that, Zhuo Sheng left in a hurry as he still had a lot of things to deal with.
Mu Xiaoqiao was feeling very nervous, but she still went back to her room as she was told, changed out of her wedding dress, and touched the picture of the soaring dragon that she had kept close to her body. Apart from it and the Soul-Breaking Sword, she didn't have anything else important.
Mu Xiaoqiao packed some gold and silver jewelry into a small bag and put it on his back. He went out again, but Xi Niang was gone. When he walked out, he saw the disciples of the Medical Immortal Valley coming and going, very busy.
She grabbed a disciple and asked, "What happened?"
The disciple shook his head, "I don't know. Master only asked us to inform everyone in the Medical Immortal Valley to leave the valley for a month and leave immediately."
