A few more riders came from the front, passing by the two riders and following the carriage from afar.
The people following the carriage were naturally the disciples of the Ten Thousand Grottoes. Although Li Wuhua did not dare to stop them, he could not allow the old man to take them away. Naturally, he had to send people to follow them and wait for the final decision of the Ten Thousand Grottoes …
Inside the house, Hai Ruyue paced back and forth anxiously. Every second that passed was torture for her. She was worried about her son and her own fate. Her hand touched her belly from time to time.
Footsteps could be heard outside the door. Zhu Shun held onto the door frame as he stumbled in. Although he was not seriously injured after being flicked away by the old man, it was quite a fall at his age.
He could not even walk smoothly, but he still managed to force himself to come over. Under Hai Ruyue's gaze, he closed the door and limped to her with a face full of sorrow. "Madam, what exactly happened?"
Hai Ruyue knew that he was loyal to the Xiao clan and was very worried about Xiao Tianzhen's safety. "I also want to know what happened."
Zhu Shun's gaze landed on her belly, which did not seem to have any abnormalities. "Madam, is what that ghost doctor said true?"
Hai Ruyue covered her belly with her hand, closed her eyes and shook her head. Her face was unbearable. "Zhu Shun, I have already told you about the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit. You should understand our situation. The Ten Thousand Grottoes have already started to take action. We have to think of a way to protect ourselves. I also have no other way."
Zhu Shun's body trembled. He staggered two steps back and asked with a trembling voice, "Whose is it?"
He had long known that Hai Ruyue had an affair with other men. Not just one man, but also Li Wuhua. Before Hai Ruyue had that relationship with Li Wuhua, she already had an ambiguous relationship with some important officials in the Gold Province.
He had always turned a blind eye to this.
He also understood that the Xiao clan had reached such a stage. It was very difficult for the orphan and widow to continue supporting the clan. Hai Ruyue was the princess of Zhao, but she could not bring out anything to win the hearts of the people. The imperial court of Zhao could not wait to control the Gold Province. Why would they let the princess use their resources? The only thing that the princess had left was her beauty.
In his opinion, Hai Ruyue was making a sacrifice for the Xiao Clan. Although his heart ached, he could not do anything about it. He could only support her.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open. Li Wuhua stood outside with a gloomy face, coldly staring at Hai Ruyue in the room.
After reporting the urgent situation and making arrangements, he immediately rushed over.
The people in the room were shocked. Li Wuhua strode in. When he passed by Zhu Shun, he shouted, "Get out!"
Zhu Shun lowered his head sadly and limped away.
On the other hand, Hai Ruyue was forced to retreat step by step by Li Wuhua, who was approaching her step by step. Li Wuhua's gaze was fixed on her abdomen, and she subconsciously covered her abdomen with both hands, knocking into a chair and falling down. Her face was full of anxiety.
Standing in front of her, Li Wuhua, who was condescending, asked the same question, "Whose is it?"
Hai Ruyue was nervous and afraid. She tried to show sympathy and said tearfully, "Who else could it be?"
Li Wuhua's face twitched. Actually, he had also guessed it. During the six months that Hai Ruyue was under house arrest, no other man could hook up with her except him.
Although he knew that the child in her abdomen was his, Li Wuhua was still angry. "Slap!" With a wave of his hand, he gave Hai Ruyue a resounding slap, causing her to fall onto the chair. "Bitch, did you stop taking the elixirs that I gave you to nourish your body?"
Hai Ruyue covered her instantly red and swollen face and slowly sat up straight. With tears streaming down her face, she said, "I knew it long ago. Those weren't elixirs to nourish my body at all. They were elixirs to prevent me from getting pregnant."
Li Wuhua's face turned ferocious. "You did it on purpose. Do you think this can protect you?" Staring at her abdomen coldly, he slowly clenched his fist.
Hai Ruyue realized what he wanted to do. She covered her abdomen with both hands and hurriedly persuaded, "I know you want to kill me, but you have also seen the situation in the Gold Province. The Xiao clan has been operating for several generations, and they have deep roots. In the military, politics, and business, there are people who are deeply related to the Xiao clan. Even if I give the order to purge all of them, it will be impossible for it to not cause any commotion. No one is willing to see their family business destroyed. This matter involves so many people. Even the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion doesn't dare to forcefully purge them. They can only do it slowly.
"Zhen 'er has been taken away by the Ghost Doctor. It just so happens that the problem of the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit has been solved. It also proves that Zhen' er's illness is indeed related to the Ghost Doctor. Who can doubt that the Ghost Doctor can't cure the Heavenly Yin Damaged Meridians? But this will also weaken the strength of the Gold Province, and it won't be beneficial for the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion. Currently, I am the only one who can stabilize the situation in the Gold Province. Why should we weaken the strength of the Gold Province when everything is peaceful? As long as you argue with reason, the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion will consider it! "
"You have also heard the Ghost Doctor's words. The child in my stomach is your son. As long as I can continue to oversee the Gold Province, the power of the Gold Province will belong to your son sooner or later. Your son will be the future Provincial Governor of the Gold Province! Wuhua, you have no children in your entire life. Don't you want to leave some descendants for your family in this life? The Ghost Doctor said that the child in my stomach is my son. Don't you believe in the Ghost Doctor's judgment? The child in my stomach is your son! "
She seemed to be grasping at the last life-saving straw.
Li Wuhua's eyes flickered as he clenched his fists. His expression was uncertain …
The Eighth Brother of Fu Fang Garden had returned to the hiding place of Niu Youdao.
The reason why the Eighth Brother stayed in the Gold Province was to facilitate the communication between the Gold Province and the Gold Province. He could also be considered a hostage held by the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion. If they didn't return Xiao Tianzhen, the Eighth Brother wouldn't be able to return alive.
During the negotiation with the Ghost Mother at the Pitting Yin Mountain, Guan Fangyi had sent the Eighth Brother. This time, the Gold Province had sent the Eighth Brother. It could be seen that the Eighth Brother was good at communication and negotiation.
"Ghost Doctor?" Niu Youdao, who was personally pouring tea for the Eighth Brother, was surprised. "The Ghost Doctor Torture Prescription took Xiao Tianzhen away?"
The Eighth Brother nodded. "That's right. When Xiao Tianzhen returned to the Gold Province Prefecture City, he was kidnapped by the Ghost Doctor Torture Prescription before he even stepped into the Provincial Governor's Mansion. The people from the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion told me personally. The Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion asked me to pass a message to Daoye. They said that since Daoye had kept his promise, they wouldn't bicker with Daoye. They also said that the matter has already passed and that you shouldn't make a fuss about it. Don't think that they won't dare to fall out with the South Province. It won't be good for anyone to make a fuss about it. They want you to stop! "
Niu Youdao frowned. He suspected that the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion was messing with him to prevent him from making a fuss about this matter. However, after thinking about it, there was no reason for the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion to keep Xiao Tianzhen and risk his life. In other words, the matter of the Ghost Doctor's disciple had really alarmed the Ghost Doctor's True God body?
This wasn't a baseless matter. Previously, the Gold Province didn't publicize the matter of the Ghost Doctor's disciple. This was because the Ghost Doctor had the Ghost Doctor's style and didn't like to publicize it. It was only when the Gold Province started to threaten to send troops that the Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion became a little afraid. Only then did they release some rumors to disassociate themselves from the relationship. In the end, they really provoked the Ghost Doctor.
Such a thing actually happened. This was something that Niu Youdao would never have thought of. It really made him speechless.
Guan Fangyi, who was at the side, was also very surprised. The mysterious Ghost Doctor Torture Formula actually appeared. Moreover, his target was very clear, which was Xiao Tianzhen.
On this side, Niu Youdao was making a fuss about Xiao Tianzhen. The Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion also had their weakness because of Xiao Tianzhen. Now, even the Ghost Doctor was coming for Xiao Tianzhen. She wouldn't believe that there was no problem with Xiao Tianzhen even if she was beaten to death.
Guan Fangyi's bright eyes flickered non-stop. She stared at Niu Youdao suspiciously and sized him up. It seemed like she was trying to see through him.
Yuan Gang, who was standing at the side, also frowned. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Why did the Ghost Doctor take Xiao Tianzhen away?" Niu Youdao asked.
Old Eight shook his head: "I don't know. I didn't see it. The Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion didn't say anything either."
"The Ghost Doctor actually interfered. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." Niu Youdao couldn't help but sigh. He then extended his hand and invited Eighth Brother to have some tea.
After Eighth Brother left, Niu Youdao asked Guan Fangyi again, "You know a lot of information. Regarding that Ghost Doctor, do you have any special information?" He wanted to understand as much as possible so that he could be mentally prepared.
Guan Fangyi sat with her legs crossed. She waved her fan and said, "This person appears and disappears unpredictably. How can I have any information about him? There are only some groundless rumors about him in the cultivation world. It's hard for an ordinary person to find him. Oh right, I did hear someone say that the Ghost Doctor might be someone from the Devil Cult. "
"Devil Cult?" Niu Youdao was stunned. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Guan Fangyi said, "It's hard for others to find the Ghost Doctor. Only the previous Saintess of the Devil Cult could find him easily. It's said that the Ghost Doctor listens to the Saintess' words. It's said that the Ghost Doctor owed the Saintess a favor and joined the Devil Cult. After the Saintess died, the Ghost Doctor left the Devil Cult. That's all. I don't know if it's true or not. The person who said it also heard it from somewhere else. "
Saintess? Niu Youdao tried to ask, "Was the previous Saintess of the Devil Cult the one who was involved with Zhao Xiongge?"
Guan Fangyi was slightly stunned. She suddenly chuckled and said, "I forgot that you came from the Shangqing Sect. That's right. She's the Saintess of the Devil Cult who had an affair with the abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect, Zhao Xiongge. In terms of seniority, Zhao Xiongge should be your Martial Uncle, right? If the rumor I heard is true, Zhao Xiongge might know the Ghost Doctor. Why don't you ask Zhao Xiongge about it? It's definitely better than asking me. "
Niu Youdao drank his tea and didn't ask anymore. He hated it when people linked him with the Shangqing Sect.
However, Guan Fangyi refused to let it go. "I say, Daoye, our family's Eighth Brother became a hostage in Jinzhou because of you. He almost didn't know how he died. Now that he's back, shouldn't I give him an explanation? What secret is that Xiao Tianzhen hiding?"
Niu Youdao glanced at her. "There are some things that don't need to be explained. Even if you knew, you wouldn't dare to tell him."
Guan Fangyi chuckled. "It depends on your sincerity. It's up to me whether I tell him or not."
"Do you really want to know?" Niu Youdao looked at her with a hint of playfulness.
His expression made her feel uncomfortable. She felt that he didn't have any good intentions. However, she couldn't help but be curious. She decisively said, "Yes!"
Niu Youdao was also straightforward this time. "Xiao Tianzhen is suffering from the terminal illness of Tianyin Damaged Meridians."
"You don't need to tell me that. I know."
"You know? Xiao Tianzhen's terminal illness was actually cured by me. "
"You? You have such an ability? No, what does this have to do with what's going on in front of us? "
"I stole something from the Ice and Snow Pavilion to cure Xiao Tianzhen."
