Chapter 1279: Arrogant Demonstration
Editor: Atlas Studios
To see a head appearing in the box in the middle of the night was simply too terrifying!
Lou Bufan quickly recognized this person. He was the spy he had planted beside the Ghost Concubine.
Just as he was about to look for her to ask about the Ghost Concubine, her head appeared here?
Who did it?
The Ghost Concubine?
Had the Ghost Concubine discovered it so quickly? She even cut off her head and placed it in the brocade box sent by the Five Poison Sect…
This was telling him that she knew everything and was provoking and demonstrating to him.
“What a Ghost Concubine, what a Walkabout Sect!”
Lou Bufan closed the lid!
–
Ever since Madam Ru returned to the Heavenly Jade Hall, she became even more suspicious of Lou Bufan.
Her mother asked her to trust Lou Bufan and said that Lou Bufan would stand on her side no matter what.
These words were too certain.
Her mother was not a trusting person, but she believed in Lou Bufan so deeply.
“Madam, what are you thinking about? The dishes are cold.”
Cai Lian reminded softly.
As Madam Ru’s trusted aide, there was nothing Madam Ru could not say to her. Madam Ru even told her about the child exchange later.
“I’m thinking about what my mother said to me.”
“What did Matriarch say to you?” Cai Lian asked.
Madam Ru frowned and said, “Don’t you think my mother trusts Pavilion Master Lou too much?”
Cai Lian said, “Pavilion Master Lou is the Hall Master’s father-in-law and is considered one of us. It’s only right for Matriarch to trust him, right?”
Madam Ru pondered and said, “I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with Lou Bufan. Does my mother have something on him, so she doesn’t dare to offend him?”
This… Cai Lian couldn’t answer.
The more Madam Ru thought about it, the more she felt that this guess was very reliable. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that her mother treated her daughter-in-law better than her own son.
If not for Lou Bufan threatening her, would her mother have done this?
Madam Ru said seriously, “Call Mo Yun over.”
Mo Yun was a female secret guard under Madam Ru. Madam Ru had picked her up on the way back to her maiden home.
At that time, Mo Yun was chased by her enemies and was seriously injured. If not for Madam Ru, she would have lost her life.
After she recovered, she joined Madam Ru and was loyal to her.
However, once, Mo Yun offended the City Lord. Madam Ru “expelled” her from the Jade Pavilion and “punished” her to be a servant in the orchard.
Cai Lian quickly brought Mo Yun over.
Mo Yun had an ugly birthmark on the left side of her forehead and face. She was often called an ugly slave by the servants of the City Lord Manor.
“Mo Yun greets Master.”
As she knelt down and bowed, she was cold and distant.
She was like this. She treated everyone the same.
Madam Ru was used to it. “I called you here to investigate someone.”
Mo Yun said, “Madam, please speak.”
Madam Ru’s eyes turned sharp. “Lou Bufan of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.”

In the dead of night, Wei Xiaobao finally fell asleep.
Su Xiaoxiao handed her to the nanny and went to see Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu. She kissed their sleeping faces and prepared to leave for Dragon Mountain.
However, before she left the Flying Cloud Palace, Ling Yin ran over hurriedly. “Second Young Madam, go and see Eldest Senior Brother!”
Su Xiaoxiao immediately went.
The four elders were all there.
Elder Qi had just given Qian Yao acupuncture, but the effect was minimal.
His entire body was burning like a big fire jar, but his hands and feet were cold. He was even convulsing.
“Four elders!”
Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed.
Elder Qi hurriedly said to her, “Qianyao was fine in the afternoon. His body was a little hot in the evening, but it wasn’t too strong. Just now, it suddenly became serious!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qian Yao solemnly.
The last thing she wanted to see happened. A high fever convulsion was a very dangerous signal.
She needed to undergo emergency treatment immediately.
“Xing’er.”
“Miss!”
Xing’er placed the medicine box in her hand on the wooden stool beside the bed and said to the four elders, “Elders, my Miss is going to save the patient. Let’s go next door and wait.”
The few of them hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Elders, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best to save Senior Brother Qian Yao!”
Elder Yi sighed heavily. “I’ll leave Qian Yao to you.”
She brought Elder Feng, Elder Yue, and Elder Qi to the courtyard to wait.
Qian Yao was the most talented and hardworking disciple among the younger generation. Not only did the Palace Lord have high hopes for him, but the few of them also thought highly of him.
If not for this calamity, he should have been able to compete with the disciples of the Assassin Alliance.
Of course, even ignoring his talent and hard work, as long as they were disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace, they would do their best to protect them.
Xing’er and Ling Yin closed the door for Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the first aid kit.
The fever medicine had been used up the last time the seven major sects attacked the Hundred Flowers Palace. She hurriedly entered the pharmacy to get the medicine.
She did not want to merely save Qian Yao’s life. She wanted him to completely recover without any sequelae and live with dignity for the rest of his life.
However, to the current Qian Yao and her, it was undoubtedly a huge challenge.
During the resuscitation process, Qian Yao suddenly coughed. Not only did he vomit a lot of blood, but he also tore open the stitched wound.
Su Xiaoxiao’s gloves were covered in blood, and sweat dripped down her face. Her entire body was drenched in sweat.
As time passed, the four elders were worried about Qian Yao and Su Xiaoxiao.
Elder Qi looked at the gray sky. “Senior Sister Yi, it’s almost dawn.”
Elder Yi looked worriedly at the closed door.
On one side was the disciple who needed rescuing, and on the other was the Second Young Madam, who had a mission.
She was also very conflicted.
Most importantly, she did not know what Second Young Madam would choose.
After half a night of resuscitation, Qian Yao finally regained some consciousness.
He opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was busy beside his bed. He said weakly, “Second Young Madam…”
“You’re awake.”
Su Xiaoxiao changed his dressing. “Don’t speak yet. Lie down.”
Qian Yao’s gaze swept across the gradually bright window paper. “You don’t have to… care about me…”
Su Xiaoxiao took his temperature. “How can I not care about you?”
“I… don’t want to… implicate…”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him seriously. “You didn’t implicate anyone. To be honest, we implicated you. The mastermind is here for us. We insisted on investigating some secrets. Since we angered him, he would take revenge on the Hundred Flowers Palace. Senior Brother Qian Yao, do you blame us?”
Qian Yao shook his head firmly.
If not for their full protection, the Hundred Flowers Palace would have fallen the day the seven great sects attacked the Hundred Flowers Palace, and he would have died long ago.
Many things in the world were indistinguishable.
From the first day Ling Yun met Su Xiaoxiao, everyone’s fates had intertwined.
They were friends, family, and lifelong connections.
When Su Xiaoxiao came out, the sky was already bright.
Everyone looked at her nervously.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Senior Brother Qianyao, he’s fine.”
Xing’er looked at her with red eyes. “Miss…”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and patted her shoulder. “It’s fine. Don’t we still have Wei Ting and my eldest cousin?”
She would not be able to make it to the duel at Dragon Mountain.
Wei Ting, Su Mo, it’s up to you.
