Yuan Gang said, "Aren't you afraid that Myriad Grottoes Mansion will use Xiao Tianzhen to threaten you?"
"The Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Manor is a big family, do you think they would risk their lives to fight me?" Niu Youdao opened his eyes and glanced at him. He guessed that Niu Youdao didn't have the heart to say such nonsense.
Sure enough, Yuan Gang said, "Daoye, can't you think of a way? Moreover, with this in hand, Myriad Grottoes Mansion's weak spot is in your hands. "
Niu Youdao asked back, "Monkey, you have been in the underworld for so many years. You should know this clearly. The difference in strength is too great. I don't have the right to go back on my words. Once I do, Myriad Grottoes Mansion won't believe me anymore. I don't even dare to show myself in front of Heavenly Jade School. If I anger Myriad Grottoes Mansion, I can imagine the situation in the future. "
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "Monkey, that little brat isn't a good person. Sooner or later, he will bite the hand that feeds him and fall out with his mother. Hai Ruyue won't let go of her power. Sooner or later, mother and son will kill each other. I can't save them, and no one can help them. You must understand that a chaotic Jinzhou is not good for Nanzhou! "
…
In Jinzhou Prefecture City, dozens of cultivators escorted a carriage into the city.
The carriage stopped outside the Provincial Governor's Mansion. The curtain was lifted and Xiao Tianzhen came out.
Hai Ruyue, who was waiting at the door, immediately let out a sad and joyful cry, "Zhen 'er!"
Li Wuhua, who was watching from the side, was silent. He watched Hai Ruyue lift her skirt and run down the stairs without stopping her.
They had already put Hai Ruyue under house arrest and didn't allow her to take a step out of the door.
Housekeeper Zhu Shun shed tears and shook his head with a pained expression.
"Mother!" Xiao Tianzhen, who got off the carriage, cupped his hands and bowed respectfully.
Hai Ruyue hugged her son without a care. She seemed to be crying tears of joy, but she was actually whispering in her son's ear, "You shouldn't have come back. You really shouldn't have come back!"
Xiao Tianzhen didn't know the deeper meaning of her words because he didn't know the truth of his illness. He looked up at Hai Ruyue with a trace of resentment.
To relieve her longing, Hai Ruyue held her son's hand and walked down the stairs.
At this moment, an object whizzed through the air and shot straight at Li Wuhua, who was standing on the steps.
Li Wuhua pushed his palm forward, and the flying object instantly stopped under the eaves. Looking closely, he saw that it was a token.
Li Wuhua's expression changed drastically when he saw the token. He grabbed the token with his five fingers and kept it in his palm. Then, he used his sleeves to cover it up. His eyes quickly looked in the direction where the object came from — the roof across the street.
Everyone turned around to look. Hai Ruyue and her son also stopped on the stairs and turned around to look.
There were two people standing on the roof.
It was an old man dressed in sloppy clothes. His hair was not tied up in a bun, and his gray hair was draped over his back with a random ribbon tied behind him.
There was also a handsome young man with the same hairstyle. His clothes were as white as snow, and his skin was fair. His expression was calm and calm, elegant and confident, and he carried a bamboo basket on his back.
The two of them floated down from the roof and landed not far away. They walked over at a moderate pace.
The guards on this side immediately came up to stop them and shouted, "Who are you?"
The two of them stopped. The expressionless old man, who was obviously wearing a mask, ignored the guards in front of him and stared at Li Wuhua on the steps. He said in a gloomy tone, "Are you going to stop me?"
Li Wuhua's throat trembled. Finally, he slowly raised his hand and signaled the people who were blocking him.
The people who were blocking him moved to the left and right, letting him pass.
The old man and the young man walked over side by side. When they reached the bottom of the steps, the young man stopped, and the old man continued to climb the steps, heading straight for Hai Ruyue and her son.
This strange situation made the mother and son a little nervous. They could clearly see that even Li Wuhua was afraid of this person, so they hurriedly stepped up the steps and hid under the eaves. Hai Ruyue asked Li Wuhua, "Who are you?"
Li Wuhua did not say anything and stared at the old man who continued to climb the steps.
The old man continued to walk towards the mother and son under the eaves.
In the end, Li Wuhua had no choice but to step forward and block between the old man and the mother and son. He cupped his hands and said, "What can I do for you?"
The old man asked gloomily again, "Are you going to stop me?"
Li Wuhua said, "This is not a place that just anyone can trespass. Who are you exactly?"
The old man said, "Who I am is not important. It is enough that you recognize that token. You seem to be that elder of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion. Don't tell me that you don't even recognize Qing Yuanzi's sect master token? "
The other disciples of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion were shocked. Qing Yuanzi was the previous sect master of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion, but he had already passed away. As for the sect master token, wasn't it in the hands of the current sect master? What did this old man mean by that?
The surrounding disciples of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion did not understand.
Li Wuhua looked around to see the reactions of the other disciples. They did not know, but he did. The token in the hands of the current sect master was remade later on. The original token was related to a secret and had been given away. To be more precise, it had been taken away by someone.
Because this matter concerned the reputation of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion, no one would know except for the higher-ups of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion.
Li Wuhua said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
The old man said, "You mean that the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion did not keep its word and wants to break its promise?"
Li Wuhua hurriedly said, "The Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion is a righteous sect. Naturally, we will keep our word. However, I have to at least confirm your identity and your purpose of coming here. Don't you think so?"
The old man raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Tianzhen. "He is the Jinzhou Provincial Governor Xiao Tianzhen?"
Xiao Tianzhen was a little afraid. Why did he feel that the old man was coming for him?
Hai Ruyue also subconsciously held her son's hand tightly. She had never seen Li Wuhua being so careful with an outsider.
Li Wuhua turned around and looked at Xiao Tianzhen. Then, he turned back and nodded. "That's right!"
The old man said, "I heard that my disciple cured his Heavenly Yin Damaged Meridian. Is this true?"
The moment these words came out, everyone present was shocked. It was said that the Ghost Doctor's disciple cured this young master's chronic illness. Could this old man be the legendary Ghost Doctor Xing Fang?
Li Wuhua groaned inwardly. Could it really be that old monster?
Actually, when he saw the token, he had already guessed the old man's identity. However, he didn't dare to confirm it. He also couldn't ask the old man if he was the Ghost Doctor before he admitted his identity. Now, he was more or less sure.
Previously, the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion was deceived by Hai Ruyue. They really thought that it was the Ghost Doctor's disciple who cured Xiao Tianzhen. Who knew that it was Niu Youdao who played tricks behind the scenes. However, they didn't expect that it would turn out to be true. The rumors actually attracted the elusive Ghost Doctor.
However, the old man's words made it hard for him to answer. Admit it? There was no such thing at all. He could fool anyone but the Ghost Doctor. If he didn't admit it, he wouldn't dare to say the truth. He couldn't possibly say that it was because he stole the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit from the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
He could only tactfully say, "It's just a rumor. There's no such thing."
The old man said in a gloomy tone, "Get out of the way. I just want to take his pulse."
Li Wuhua was put in a difficult position. He was afraid that the old man would act recklessly. However, he didn't dare to stop him. If it was really the Ghost Doctor, the whole Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion wouldn't be able to bear the consequences if he angered the old man.
The old man didn't care whether he was willing or not. He raised his hand and pushed Li Wuhua away. He continued to climb the stairs. Hai Ruyue and her son were afraid and were forced to retreat.
Li Wuhua and the group of Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion disciples immediately surrounded the old man, carefully guarding against him.
Hai Ruyue and her son had nowhere to retreat. They were blocked by the wall beside the door. The moment their bodies stopped, the old man had already reached out to grab Xiao Tianzhen's wrist and placed a few fingers on Xiao Tianzhen's pulse.
After a moment of silence, the old man let go of Xiao Tianzhen's pulse. He raised his hand and opened Xiao Tianzhen's mouth to take a look. Then, he raised his hand and opened Xiao Tianzhen's eyelids to take a look.
After letting go, the old man grabbed Xiao Tianzhen's wrist and led him away.
Li Wuhua immediately reached out to stop him. "What is the meaning of this?"
The old man said gloomily, "Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion owes me a life. I'm here to collect the debt. I'll return the token to you and take this kid away. From now on, we don't owe each other anything. Get out of the way! "
Li Wuhua said with a straight face, "I can't make the decision on this matter. You have to wait for me to report this to the sect before making a decision."
The old man said, "That's your problem. It has nothing to do with me. I'll say it again. I won't say it a third time. "
Li Wuhua's expression twitched.
Seeing that the old man didn't dare to stop him, Xiao Tianzhen instantly became nervous. He begged Hai Ruyue for help, "Mother!"
Hai Ruyue immediately went forward and begged, "Old man, I only have this one son. Please let him go. You can ask for anything else. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely satisfy you!"
"Your son?" The old man turned around and his gaze fell on her face. After looking at her for a while, he said, "You have another son in your stomach."
Everyone was baffled by his words, but Hai Ruyue was alarmed. She hurriedly said, "Old man, you must be joking. My son is the Jinzhou Provincial Governor. He can't leave with others so easily. Old man, please change your condition."
The old man said, "I still have this little bit of insight. You're already three months pregnant. It's a male fetus. The fetus is normal. If you give birth, you'll just change your position to someone else. If you don't give birth to a son, I'll return this son to you. "
Hai Ruyue's face was filled with panic.
The surrounding people looked at each other. Li Wuhua looked at Hai Ruyue in shock. His expression kept changing.
"Mother!" Xiao Tianzhen exclaimed.
The old man dragged him away just like that. No one stopped him.
Everyone looked at Li Wuhua. Li Wuhua looked at Hai Ruyue. Hai Ruyue wanted to rush to her son, but Li Wuhua pressed down on her shoulder. Li Wuhua grabbed her wrist and checked her pulse.
After checking her pulse, it was as the old man said. Hai Ruyue was really pregnant. Li Wuhua's face darkened.
"Young Master!" Zhu Shun rushed down the stairs to grab him.
The old man who dragged Xiao Tianzhen away waved his sleeve. With a bang, Zhu Shun was sent flying.
Li Wuhua looked back. Based on the fact that the old man could see through Hai Ruyue's background, it was more and more proof of his identity. Li Wuhua didn't dare to stop him.
"Carriage!" The old man who was walking down the stairs said.
The young man who was waiting quietly at the bottom of the stairs immediately turned around and walked to the side of the carriage. He warmly invited the trembling Groom to open the door and pulled the reins.
Xiao Tianzhen, who could no longer make a sound, was thrown into the carriage. The old man also entered the carriage. The young man sitting on the shaft of the carriage waved his whip, and just like that, the carriage of the Provincial Governor's Mansion was taken away …
When the carriage passed by the street, the passersby parted to the sides. Two young men riding on tall horses also retreated to the side.
When one of the young men saw the young man driving the carriage, he seemed a little surprised. He waved his hand and called out, "Brother Tan!"
The young man driving the carriage was indifferent. He just brushed past them.
The other young man on the horse asked curiously, "Brother Cheng, you know this person? You still have friends in Jinzhou? "
