The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 1393

Elder Bo Yan's expression became very strange. This doesn't sound wrong, but… why do I find it weird? No matter how concerned I am, this action of lowering his head is… too intimate, right? If anyone saw two men behaving in this manner…

Elder Bo Yan panicked. This… Rong Xiu only said that he knew Chu Yue long ago, so I just thought that the duo was friends and that Rong Xiu treated the latter like his younger brother. But it now seems like…

Rong Xiu looked up and glanced toward this side. "Elder Bo Yan, do you have a Clear Wind Pill?"

"Huh? Oh, I do!" Elder Bo Yan recovered his senses, produced a jade pill bottle, and handed it over.

Seeing that Rong Xiu had no free hands, he took the pill out and fed it to Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other tightly, and the pill couldn't go in no matter what.

Rong Xiu's hand on her shoulders patted her lightly, and he softly said, "Be good. Eat the medicine."

Chu Liuyue snuggled in his arms but still opened her mouth obediently.

Elder Bo Yan hurriedly fed her the pill.

The Clear Wind Pill immediately melted in her mouth. Chu Liuyue still had her eyes closed as she swallowed the pill.

The entire process was very smooth and natural.

Elder Bo Yan retracted his hand, but he became increasingly terrified and shocked as he watched on from the side. Look! Since when was Rong Xiu so gentle and harmonious to anyone?! Previously, Rong Xiu insisted on carrying Chu Yue back and taking care of him personally. I only thought he did it because he felt guilty and wanted to make it up to Chu Yue, who had helped him block the attack.

But now? In my impression, Rong Xiu has never gotten close to a woman… A ridiculous idea surfaced in Elder Bo Yan's mind. This thought caused his heart to beat rapidly.

He quickly glanced at Rong Xiu and then immediately retracted his gaze. Forget it, forget it! It's better not to ask too much about these things! At the very least, I probably won't have such strong tolerance. But in the future… I have to change my attitude toward Chu Yue.

Rong Xiu's lips curled up undetectably. He could naturally guess what Elder Bo Yan and the others would think when they saw this scene, but… He didn't care.

"Bo Yan, Dan Qing." At this point, Elder Hua Feng had already ended his conversation with Jiang Zhiyuan.

Elder Dan Qing and Elder Bo Yan turned around to look at him as their gazes swept across Jiang Zhiyuan, who stayed behind. Actually, they really wanted to know what Hua Feng and Jiang Zhiyuan talked about.

"I have something I need to tell you." Elder Hua Feng's gaze was solemn.

This caused Elder Bo Yan and the others' hearts to sink. "What's the matter?"

Elder Hua Feng took a deep breath in and looked like he was in a difficult spot.

Jiang Zhiyuan—who was standing not far away—stopped in her tracks and looked over with a delighted and expectant gaze. Great. As long as Elder Hua Feng agrees to help, everything can be discussed.

Thinking that she had avoided an ordeal, Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Right at this moment, Elder Hua Feng suddenly turned around and waved toward a group of people. "Liang Xiaoxiao, come over here first."

Jiang Zhiyuan's smile—which hadn't fully widened—instantly stiffened. Uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed her heart. Why did Elder Hua Feng suddenly call Liang Xiaoxiao over? This has nothing to do with her at all!

Liang Xiaoxiao was confused herself, but she still walked forward while bearing the crowd's gazes. Then, she first bowed and greeted the elders one by one before asking with a confused expression, "Elder Hua Feng, were you looking for me?"

Elder Hua Feng nodded. "There are some things I have to tell you."

The surroundings fell silent.

Jiang Zhiyuan's heart fell into a deep abyss, but everything started developing in a direction she could not control.

"Your elder brother, Liang Shaokang, had brought people over here previously." Elder Hua Feng spoke very directly.

"My Third Brother came?" Liang Xiaoxiao widened her eyes slightly. Didn't Father previously say he didn't want to intervene in this matter? Did Third Brother bring people and sneak over? He has always been very ambitious. Recently, there were a few other disciples that performed quite well in the clan. Was he… anxious? This does seem like something he could do.

Elder Hua Feng nodded slightly. "About a few days ago, we coincidentally met him when we just reached that gully. He was being pursued at that time, and the Liang family people that accompanied him were already dead."

Liang Xiaoxiao's expression changed. Her lips moved. "My brother—"

Elder Hua Feng paused. "Sorry. You know that Ling Xiao Academy has a neutral stance."

Liang Xiaoxiao's legs went soft, and she almost collapsed. At the side, an elder hurriedly supported her.

Liang Xiaoxiao felt waves of coldness coming from the depths of her heart. Something rushed up to her eyes, and her vision became blurred.

She opened her mouth but realized she couldn't say anything. Only a cold wind kept coming in between her teeth—it was so cold that her organs and limbs seemed to curl up.

Suddenly, she seemed to have recalled something as she abruptly turned around and looked at Jiang Zhiyuan!

Jiang Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she guiltily averted her gaze.

"But… Zhiyuan previously said that she didn't see my brother…" said Liang Xiaoxiao with clenched teeth.

Elder Hua Feng followed her gaze and sighed. He said, "Actually, you can't blame her for this. After all, you were good friends for so many years, and you guys have a good relationship. She wouldn't want you to be sad—"

Hah!

Liang Xiaoxiao almost burst out laughing. Afraid that I would be sad? Didn't Jiang Zhiyuan previously ask those things earlier?! Why is she pretending to be a good person now?

"Elder Hua Feng, could you tell me… who killed my elder brother?" Liang Xiaoxiao clenched her hands tightly and said every word slowly.

Elder Hua Feng paused. "Um… Back then, your brother had specifically asked Jiang Zhiyuan for help, and she stayed there for quite some time. She should be the clearest about it."

Jiang Zhiyuan raised her head in overwhelming shock and panic! "Elder Hua Feng, how can you say that?!"

Elder Hua Feng blinked and seemed rather helpless. "The… matter is serious, so it's better to tell the truth, right?"

Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't defend herself. She hurriedly ran over to Liang Xiaoxiao and anxiously said, "Xiaoxiao, listen to my explanation! Back then, I—"

Slap!

A resounding slap was heard.

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't stand stably and was directly beaten until she fell to the floor. Half her face rapidly swelled up.

However, she was originally disheveled. Now that she fell, it wasn't especially obvious.

"B*tch!" Liang Xiaoxiao was enraged and wanted to shred Jiang Zhiyuan apart directly! Liang Shaokang didn't enter Ling Xiao Academy and wasn't familiar with the elders in the academy. Out of all these people, he was most familiar with Jiang Zhiyuan!

Liang Xiaoxiao naturally knew what her third brother thought of Jiang Zhiyuan. However, Jiang Zhiyuan was arrogant and prideful and refused to agree to him, so Liang Xiaoxiao didn't intervene in this matter further. However, this didn't mean that she did not know that Jiang Zhiyuan had taken quite a few advantages from her third brother.

At the end of the day, she—Jiang Zhiyuan—'repaid' my Third Brother in this manner?!

Jiang Zhiyuan was beaten until she was dazed. She thought that victory was in her hands, but she didn't expect Elder Hua Feng to be this harsh and directly expose everything in public!
