Chapter 158 (1/2)
Feigning Illness
Inside the residence of the Su Family Main House.
A big group of disciples under the lead of Su Tai and Su Shi Long entered the mansion.
All the elites of the Su Family entered the main hall. Su Li Xiong, who was wearing a luxurious violet robe had a gloomy expression across his face.
The main house’s disciples waited outside the hall while Su Tai and Su Shi Long entered the hall directly. Su Tai dashed into the hall and knelt down instantly, with tears streaming down his face. With anger and despair, he complained about the Limitless sins. On top of that, he continuously moaned for the death of Great Clan Elder.
Everyone who was present frowned and boiled with anger the moment they heard his story.
“Limitless!!”
Su Li Xiong slapped one of his hands down. With his face sunken, he bellowed: “The Su Family will make him pay with his life!!”
“I vow to avenge for Great Clan Elder’s death!”
The higher ups in the Su Family stood up one by one and shouted unanimously.
Su Li Xiong nodded. He regained a colours on his face, stared at Su Tai and asked seriously: “Where is Young Miss?”
“Young Miss?”
Su Tai broke out in cold sweat when he heard his question. Then, he replied: “When young miss came down from Wu Shuang Jue peak, she had been in bed and could not get out. It was as though she had been injured badly at Wu Shuang Jue peak and cannot recover.”
“How did she get hurt? Can’t the spiritual doctors heal her?” Su Li Xiong knitted his brows.
“Everything happened too suddenly. I also don’t know how young miss would get hurt. The spiritual doctors could not find out the reason either! They only know her Qi channels had gone pale, and her meridians are impeded. Her pulse is weak and it is hard to predict how her condition would turn. It might be the Vanishing Yang sickness, she must not get in touch with light. Now, young miss is situated at the foot of Martial Bone Mountain to avoid getting in contact with sunlight as she waits for a cure!”
Su Tai lowered his head to answer.
“Is that so?”
Su Li Xiong heard and pondered before he said: “It’s important that nothing goes wrong with Young Miss. Quick, send two batches of people, one towards Blossom Heart Valley to see if they can invite Gui Mo Jue or Pill King to cure her. That would be the best, of course. If it is impossible, then have them prescribe some medicines for her and send them over quickly. As for the other batch, send them to Profound Sky Sect and inform them of this. Let them think of a way to cure Young Miss!”
“Yes master!”
Su Tai replied quickly.
“Mmhmm!”
Su Li Xiong carried a solemn face and nodded: “Go take a look on how young miss is. I hope the extent of her injuries will do her less harm. Young Miss is very important to the Su Family. Nothing must happen to her!”
“Yes, patriarch!”
Su Tai got up hastily and turned to bow: “Please, patriarch!”
Su Li Xiong nodded and stepped out of the hall with his arms folded.
A group of higher ups followed behind.
Martial Bone Mountain is situated at the southern side of the inner sect. From the main house, there was a bit of journey to Martial Bone Mountain. Although it would only take Su Family’s patriarch, Su Li Xiong half an hour to reach Martial Bone Mountain, but with so many people behind him, he would not be able to travel quickly.
They rode on spirit stallions as the guards walked beside the carriage in which patriarch was in and set off towards Martial Bone Mountain.
Halfway.
“Su Tai!”
Su Li Xiong shouted from within the carriage.
Su Tai, who was riding on a spirit stallion twisted his body and quickly rode over.
“Is there anything wrong, patriarch?” Su Tai said anxiously. On his face, he forced a smile out even though no one in the carriage bothered to look at him.
“I forgot to ask!” A blurry silhouette behind a curtain asked in a low voice: “I remember the Great Clan Elder arranged for an outer sect disciples, Su Yun to participate in this meeting of heroes. Do you know how he is now?”
“Su Yun?”
Su Tai looked shocked.
“After you have come back, I heard some stuffs about him. This man did not return back to Su Family, right? According to rumours, he had betrayed the Su Family! Is that true?”
“This….”
There was a slight change in Su Tai’s expression. His eyes darted around and thought for awhile before he quickly caught on: “Patriarch, these are all just rumours. Su Yun is still in the outer sect. How can he betray and leave the Su Family? Haha, patriarch, you must have heard wrongly! Don’t be misled by the rumours!”
“Oh?”
Su Li Xiong never said a word again.
Su Tai observed and sighed a relief secretly.
After the death of Great Clan Elder, he was in charge of the disciples. There was no way he would not know about this. If he had confirmed the rumours that Su Yun had betrayed and left the Su Family, then the patriarch would probably questioned him why did he not mentioned this beforehand.
If he acted ignorant, then it would be impossible too! How could a clan elder land in such a state?
The carriage continued its way into the Martial Bone Mountain.
After about an hour later.
The main house carriage arrived at the foot of Martial Bone Mountain.
The front line guards all looked suspicious as they ran up in fear.
“We pay respects to the Patriarch!”
“Mmhmm!”
Su Li Xiong lifted his curtains and came out from the carriage. With a stern gaze, he scanned the barricades in front of him and shouted: “Open up the barricades, let me see the young Miss!”
“Young Miss?”
The guards were all confused. Looking at one another, the guards cupped their fists and replied: “Reporting to the Patriarch, young miss has never arrived here!”
“She didn’t come here?”
