Chapter 117 Cousin-in-law Is Really Charming!

When Xiao Xiong and Xiao Ye saw Lin Xuan accept the Spirit Slaughter Tower

, they were in extreme despair.

In their opinion, with Xiao Fei’s qualifications, he was simply unqualified to receive the Consort’s protection. But now, the Consort had publicly accepted the Spirit Slaughter Tower.

Who dared to deny that Xiao Fei had not received glory because of the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort?

Even if the Consort did not give Xiao Fei any promises, they still did not have the confidence to go against Xiao Fei.

After all, facing a powerhouse like the Consort, caution was necessary.

If they were not careful, they would probably fall into an endless hell and would never be able to recover.

To put it bluntly, as long as someone had the slightest ties to the Consort, they could not touch him. This was for the sake of protecting themselves!

Xiao Xiong then walked to Xiao Fei and said, “Follow me into the palace with Ling’er later I have something to say.”

Xiao Fei didn’t think much of it and nodded. “Alright.”

Xiao Xiong walked in front of Lin Xuan and bowed respectfully.

“Consort, I am the king of Yuecang, Xiao Xiong. Please move to the palace.”

Lin Xuan saw that Xiao Ling’er, Mu Youging, and the children were playing happily, so he nodded indifferently.

Xiao Ye, on the other hand, had been kneeling there.

He saw Xiao Xiong bringing Lin Xuan and the others into the palace without even looking at him.

He knew that he had been completely abandoned by Xiao Xiong.

His eyes were instantly filled with boundless frustration and regret.

“Xiao Fei and Xiao Ling’er are finally going to fly up to the Nine Heavens.”

“And I…”

“Why wasn’t I the one who met the Consort?!”

After Lin Xuan followed Xiao Xiong to the main hall of the palace, Xiao Xiong invited him to sit on the throne.

Turning around, Xiao Xiong asked Xiao Fei, “Are you willing to forgive my previous actions?”

Xiao Fei said without thinking, “No!” He and Xiao Xiong were father and son.

However, the moment Xiao Xiong chased Xiao Ling’er out of the palace, his affection completely disappeared.

Xiao Fei felt that the Consort was wise, so he could not be hypocritical in front of the Consort.

Any thoughts had to be expressed truthfully.

“I expected that to be the case.”

Xiao Xiong sighed to himself, and a haggard look instantly appeared on his face.

“I only have you and Xiao Ye as my two sons, and you have already deposed Xiao Ye and have repeatedly made contributions. You have quite a reputation in the army.”

“I think I can hand Yuecang to you.”

With that, he took out the jade seal from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei and Xiao Ling’er looked at each other and said,

“The State of Yuecang will definitely improve in my hands. You can rest assured and enjoy your retirement!”

Xiao Ling’er motioned for Xiao Fei to let Xiao Xiong live, so Xiao Fei could only agree.

Then, he ordered his deputy to bring Xiao Xiong out of the hall.

He would let Xiao Xiong spend the rest of his life in the Cold Palace.

As for Xiao Ye, Li Xuanying, and the other henchmen, Xiao Fei would definitely not let them live to see the sun tomorrow.

After doing this, Xiao Fei turned around and knelt down to Lin Xuan. “Consort, Xiao Fei’s current state is all thanks to you. In the future, Yuecang will be at your service.”

“As long as the Consort has any requests, I will get it done for you at all costs!”

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

The State of Yuecang was in the middle of North Mystic Heaven, Crimson Nimbus Heaven, and Dongyuan Heaven. Its geographical location was quite important.

Now that Xiao Fei had sworn to be loyal to him, it was a good thing for North Mystic Heaven.

“Amitabha, the Consort resolved a great calamity and a small calamity. He has really done a lot of good!”

Jing Hai brought Hui Neng into the hall.

Mu Youqing asked curiously, “Master, I know that the Consort resolved the great calamity, but what is the small calamity?”.

Jing Hai bowed and said, “The so-called small calamity is the conflict in the royal family.”

“Oh, I see!” Mu Youqing and everyone present nodded silently.

Indeed, if not for Lin Xuan’s presence, the battle for the throne today would definitely not be resolved so easily.

It was also because he was around that Xiao Xiong handed over the jade seal so easily and handed control of Yuecang to Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei went forward and bowed to Jing Hai. “I’m extremely grateful that you came here today!”

He was acquainted with Jing Hai three years ago. At that time, he was heavily injured during the expedition and almost died. It was Jing Hai who saved him with his superb medical skills.

From then on, he became very respectful towards this accomplished monk.

And today, Jing Hai had rushed over from afar for the sake of Yuecang, which made Xiao Fei quite touched.

Xiao Fei was naturally very polite to such an accomplished monk. Jing Hai pressed his palms together and replied, “Mr. Xiao, you’re welcome.”

From the beginning, he had noticed that Xiao Fei had the aura of a prodigy.

Coupled with the fact that Xiao Fei was righteous and was often heavily injured while maintaining the peace of the country, he tried his best to save Xiao Fei out of benevolence.

From this, he had a deep acquaintance with Xiao Fei.

Then, he came in front of Lin Xuan and bowed.

“Consort, our Great Thunderclap Temple will hold a Buddhist event in ten days.”

“I wonder if you have the time to come and participate?”

Mu Youqing and the others were shocked.

The Buddhist Assembly was a top-notch gathering of Buddhists. Only Buddhists could participate in it. Unexpectedly, Master Jing Hai took the initiative to invite Lin Xuan.

Mu Youqing could not help but look at him in admiration.

“My cousin-in-law is really charming. There are people clamoring to establish ties with him everywhere!”

Lin Xuan smiled faintly. “If you have time, you must come.”

It was a grand Buddhist gathering. Lin Xuan would definitely bring his daughters there if he had the chance.

“Good, good. Then we’ll wait for your good news!” Jing Hai’s smile grew wider.

It was the Great Thunderclap Temple’s fortune to be able to invite a powerhouse like the Consort to the Great Thunderclap Temple.

He could not miss such a good opportunity!

“Ling’er, what’s wrong?”

Just as everyone was speaking, Mu Youding suddenly called out.

It turned out that Xiao Ling’er, who was standing beside her, suddenly lost consciousness and fell down.

Fortunately, Mu Youqing reacted quickly and grabbed her.

At this moment, Xiao Ling’er’s eyes were closed and she looked like she was completely unconscious.

Jing Hai hurriedly walked forward and said, “Let me take a look!”

Mu Youqing gently placed Xiao Ling’er on the ground and looked up. “Master, do you know medicine?”

Xiao Fei said, “Master Jing Hai is a rare Medical Saint in the Buddhist Sect. Three years ago, when I was on the verge of death, it was the Master who pulled me back from the gates of hell.”

Xiao Ling’er’s strange illness was something that Xiao Fei had wanted to ask Jing Hai to treat.

However, Jing Hai had been traveling around in the past few years and it was difficult to find any traces of him, so this matter had been delayed.

Now, Xiao Fei felt that this was a very good opportunity to let Jing Hai treat Ling’er’s illness.

Mu Youqing nodded. As expected of a senior monk with extraordinary medical skills.

“That’s strange.”

After checking carefully for Xiao Ling’er, Jing Hai shook his head.

“Her heart has stopped beating. Her pulse has stopped completely. Logically speaking, she’s completely dead.”

“However, other than these signs, her pupils look normal, and her temperature doesn’t show any signs of dropping. She doesn’t look any different from ordinary people.”

“This is really too strange!”

Xiao Fei couldn’t help but reveal an anxious expression. “Master, are you unable to save her?”

He remembered that the imperial physician had once said that as long as Xiao Ling’er’s heart stopped beating again, she would definitely die.

He had thought that senior monk Jing Hai would revive Xiao Ling’er, but the outcome was disappointing.

Jing Hai stood up and pressed his palms together.

“Amitabha. I believe that my medical skills are already comparable to a grandmaster’s, but this is the first time I’ve seen a situation like hers.”

“Let alone find a way to treat it.”

Xiao Fei was instantly filled with sorrow.

Was Ling’er going to die just like that?

“Sir, my father can save Miss Ling’er!”

At this moment, a young voice sounded.

Xiao Fei turned around and saw Xuan Zhu blinking at him.

Xuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You also had affirmative expressions.

Not long ago, they had personally witnessed their father use his medical skills to chase away the countless bad bugs in Shen Yi’s body.

So they determined that if even Shen Yi could be saved, their father would definitely be able to save Miss Ling’er too!

Xiao Fei’s heart skipped a beat. That’s right, the Consort was extremely capable. He might have a way to save Ling’er!

So he hurriedly asked, “Consort, you must have a way to save Ling’er, right?”

Lin Xuan said calmly, “She’s not dead to begin with.”

Not dead?

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Ling’er’s heart stopped beating. This was the sign of death.

However, they all knew that Lin Xuan wouldn’t spout nonsense.

Since the Consort said so, there must be sufficient evidence.

Xiao Fei hurriedly asked, “In your opinion, what happened to Ling’er?”

Lin Xuan said, “She was born with the rare Mystic Phoenix Body. She needs to experience nine deaths and nine lives to activate this physique.”

“This is the first and most difficult nirvana she has experienced.”

Xiao Ling’er’s problem could not be solved with simple medical skills.

And with the Absolute Mystic Sutra, one would know the past and present.

Lin Xuan quickly found out the symptoms of her fake death.
