C556 The Xiao Family's Plot
C556 The Xiao Family's Plot
There were many disciples of the Xiao Family standing around him, and they all seemed to have high status.
On the other side of Xiao Fan, a middle-aged couple was also standing at the side, watching nervously. This middle-aged man was the patriarch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Fan's father, and the middle-aged woman was Xiao Fan's mother.
"Alright, you can try saying something now!"
At this moment, White-haired Old Man finally withdrew his silver needles. The wine lamp slowly stood up and said to Xiao Fan.
"I, I..."
Xiao Fan sat up from the hospital bed and tried to speak. When he saw that he could make a sound, his face was filled with joy.
Since that day when he had a conflict with Wang Xiao because of Zhong Shiling, he did not know what Wang Xiao had done to him.
He actually lost his voice. He could not speak no matter what.
He was so scared that he hurried back to the family to seek help!
The family found a famous traveling doctor from somewhere and treated him for so long. Today, he was finally cured.
Actually, if Xiao Fan did not care about anything that day and just waited for a few hours like this, this mute's illness could heal itself.
"Godly doctor, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, my Fan'er would have been a mute for the rest of his life!"
Seeing that Xiao Fan was able to speak, Xiao Fan's mother showed a grateful expression. She grabbed White-haired Old Man's arm and thanked him.
"Sigh, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. It was just a piece of cake for me!"
White-haired Old Man's body trembled slightly when his arm was grabbed, but he still touched his beard and said to Xiao Fan's mother in a profound manner.
In fact, he had been very nervous these past few days.
His medical skills were originally very ordinary, but a while ago, the Xiao Family suddenly found him and asked him to help cure the illness of the Xiao Family's Young Lord.
Seeing the overbearing attitude of the Xiao Family, he could only compromise and push the duck onto the rack!
Initially, these disciples of the Xiao Family were very polite to him, but later on, these disciples of the Xiao Family began to doubt his medical skills. If it wasn't for the master of the Xiao Family stopping him, he might have died!
Fortunately, the acupuncture points on Young Lord's body had finally been unlocked.
Although White-haired Old Man didn't have much ink in his stomach, he naturally wouldn't admit it in front of everyone. He stroked his beard and said softly:
"This person who gave Xiao Young Lord acupuncture needles is very sinister and vicious. Not only does he want to make Xiao Young Lord lose his voice, he also wants to make Xiao Young Lord die without a burial ground. If it wasn't for my profound medical skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to cure him!"
Hiss...
When everyone heard White-haired Old Man's words, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even Xiao Fan's face darkened. Wang Xiao actually wanted his life?
At this time, White-haired Old Man continued, "In the entire Forest City, or even the entire Jiangnan, I'm afraid that only I, this old man, can open Young Lord's acupoints. During this period of time, this old man has used up a lot of energy!"
After saying that, White-haired Old Man coughed and showed a very tired look.
His words not only raised the strength of his opponent, but also maximized his own efforts.
Sure enough, after the Xiao Family Master heard White-haired Old Man's words, he smiled and said, "Godly doctor, don't worry. We have witnessed your contribution to our Xiao Family. Of course, our Xiao Family won't treat you badly!"
Speaking up to this point, the Xiao Family Master waved his hand and summoned a few disciples of the Xiao Family. He said to them, "You guys, send the Godly Doctor to rest first. Also, write a cheque of one million yuan for him!"
"Sigh, money is an external object. How can I take it?"
White-haired Old Man's eyes turned green when he heard that there was a cheque of one million yuan. However, his old face remained calm as he waved his hand and said.
"Godly doctor, this is what you deserve. It is also a token of appreciation from the Xiao Family. Please don't be polite to us!"
The master of the Xiao Family waved his hand and interrupted him with a solemn expression.
"Alright then. I will accept it respectfully!"
White-haired Old Man was overjoyed in his heart, but he still maintained a calm expression and nodded.
After White-haired Old Man left, the room was immediately filled with controversy.
"Chief, Young Lord was poisoned by that young man called Wang Xiao, and he almost lost his life. If we don't do anything, wouldn't the reputation of our Xiao Family disappear?"
"That's right. Young Lord's dignity can't be destroyed. The same goes to the dignity of our Xiao Family!"
"But according to what I know, that young man named Wang Xiao isn't an ordinary man. He is the master of Forest City Soulreaper Hall. Now, the Soulreaper Hall is the sole ruler of the Forest City. Can our Xiao Family afford to offend him?"
"That's right. Our Xiao Family is just a business Ancient Martial Family. In terms of strength, we can't be compared to the Soulreaper Hall. Why don't we just let this matter go?"
"How can we settle this score? We must definitely settle this score. We can't lose the dignity of our Xiao Family!"
The disciples of the upper echelons of the Xiao Family were discussing amongst themselves. Every one of them had their own opinions. Some of them were in charge of the battle, while others were in charge of peace.
For a moment, the room had become extremely noisy!
"All of you shut up!"
At this moment, a dignified voice suddenly sounded in the air. The person who spoke was the Xiao Family's Patriarch!
As soon as he spoke, all the disciples of the Xiao Family shut their mouths, not daring to speak anymore.
The patriarch of the Xiao Family surveyed the surroundings. When he saw that everyone had shut their mouths, he turned to Xiao Fan and said, "Lil Fan, what do you think about this matter?"
"The cause of this matter is entirely because of the Zhong Family's Zhong Shiling..."
Seeing his father looking at him, Xiao Fan slowly raised his head and spoke in a hoarse voice.
During this period of time, he had lost his voice and understood a lot. He had grown a lot.
He had thought about things for a long time.
"The Xiao Family of Western City has always been on friendly terms with the Zhong Family, and the Zhong Family is very supportive of the marriage alliance with the Xiao Family. Since that's the case, let's have a marriage alliance!"
Everyone was confused when they heard Xiao Fan's words.
If he wasn't going to deal with Wang Xiao, then why did he mention the marriage alliance with the Zhong Family?
As if he had seen through everyone's doubts, the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth raised into a smirk. He said, "That Wang Xiao seems to have some interest in Zhong Shiling, and so does Zhong Shiling. If our Xiao Family and the Zhong Family were to get married, wouldn't it be me and Zhong Shiling getting married? I slept with the woman he likes... "
Xiao Fan shut his mouth when he said this.
However, everyone understood what Xiao Fan meant and started laughing evilly.
At this moment, a few masters and disciples of the Xiao Family said with hesitation, "But isn't this the same as becoming enemies with the Soulreaper Hall?"
"Although our Xiao Family isn't as powerful as the Soulreaper Hall, we have a marriage alliance with the Zhong Family, so the Soulreaper Hall won't be able to control us, right? This is a matter between our two families!"
Xiao Fan said with a sneer on his face.
Everyone was enlightened by Xiao Fan's reminder. That's right. As long as the Zhong Family agreed to their marriage, no matter how powerful the Soulreaper Hall was, they wouldn't be able to control it, right?
For a moment, everyone started discussing the marriage alliance with the Zhong Family, as well as the disgusting matter of the Soulreaper Hall.
It was only until late at night that everyone started to prepare...
The patriarch of the Xiao Family and Xiao Fan's mother had excited expressions on their faces.
