Chapter 234: Doubt, disobedience
Xiao Tianyao has delayed a lot of time of his plan in order to accompany Lin Chujiu into the palace. So, as soon as he came back, he immediately summoned Liu Bai and Su Cha and asked about the situation outside.
The news of his legs has been confirmed by his enemies. Those people definitely couldn’t wait to make a move on him.
“The pigeons outside the city were all shot down by Tang Tang. No one was left. 36 news was all about you.” Su Cha put a stack of papers in front of Xiao Tianyao.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t even look at them and just ask: “Who is Tang Tang?” He doesn’t seemed remember any of his people with that name.
“Tang Shier is Jing Chi’s younger brother. Jing Chi called him Tang Tang, so… …” When he listened to Jing Chi’s report, he heard that name. So, he also used it.
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao nodded his head, then ask, “How is Divine Doctor Mo?” Divine Doctor Mo spend three hours outside, so it can be seen that Imperial Doctor Qin and his master were also powerful.
“Divine Doctor Mo was deceived by Imperial Doctor Qin’s master. He didn’t go to the sects in the capital.”
When Divine Doctor Mo came out of the palace, he received a note. There were only three sentences in it: Master, do you still remember the disciple that you’ve thrown in the pack of wolves? Outside the capital, in the Wind Cliff, this disciple will wait for Master to come. In one hour, if I didn’t see master’s shadow, this disciple cannot guarantee what may happen.
According to Divine Doctor Mo’s character, he will completely ignore this thing, but he was guilty. So, when he read the note, he panicked. He looked for a carriage and went directly to the Wind Cliff outside the city.
The three sides of the Wind Cliff were nothing but the abyss. Only one road could be taken to reach its top.
The top of the Wind Cliff was very windy. Any man stands on the top of it, can be blown away. There was nothing in there aside from the yellow sand. People who go there only have a short day to live.
Divine Doctor Mo climbed up the Wind Cliff. His robes were being blown by the wind. His forehead was covered with sweat. Even his breathing was not stable. But, he didn’t dare to stop the climbing to reach the top.
The wind at the top of the cliff was so scary. It sounded like a cry of a ghost. At the top, Divine Doctor Mo looked at all sides, but he didn’t see any figure.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Divine Doctor Mo decided. He was played and missed the chance to deliver the news.
“Xiao Wangye is really cunning.” Divine Doctor Mo didn’t dare to think that this thing was really done by his disciple. So, he only pushed everything to Xiao Tianyao’s head.
After turning around, Divine Doctor Mo hurriedly went down the mountain. But, when he went down, he found out the carriage that sent him was gone.
Divine Doctor Mo didn’t want to expose his secrets. So, when he came to this place, he deliberately left his hidden bodyguards. Now, he can only travel back on his own.
From the capital to the Wind Cliff, he took more than an hour. But now that he will walk back, he doesn’t know how long will it take.
Divine Doctor Mo sent a signal to his hidden bodyguards in the city for help. However, even until Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu returned in Xiao Wangfu. Divine Doctor Mo hasn’t arrived in the capital. Because his people in the capital has long been dead.
After learning that Divine Doctor Mo didn’t die, Xiao Tianyao no longer asked things about him. Imperial Doctor Qin’s master has his own plan. And it was not worth his trouble.
“How about Jing Chi?” Xiao Tianyao tapped his finger on the table and asked Liu Bai.
“There was no problem.” Liu Bai said with full of confidence: “Jing Chi killed them all without an accident. Our people that went with Jing Chi also destroyed the two sects involved. Everyone moved fast.”
With their mobility, they can definitely kill the sects before they receive the news.
Divine Doctor Mo overestimated Xiao Tianyao so much. He was in the palace, so he was late to bring out the news. Xiao Tianyao will never let go of anyone that grabbed his things and looked down on him when he was weak.
It’s not that Xiao Tianyao wanted to be the bad guy, but if he won’t use his hand, he might not be able to face the consequences. Those people will only beat him again and again. Thinking they were lucky.
Xiao Tianyao was not afraid of those people. But, not all the people under him could guard themselves. So, the best solution was to kill a hundred of his enemies. Let those people know they shouldn’t get so eager to make a move on him and just forget attacking him.

When Xiao Tianyao was asking Su Cha and Liu Bai about what was going on. The Emperor was also asking Imperial Doctor Qin who saved Xiao Zian in the end. Was it Lin Chujiu or Xiao Tianyao?
“Xiao Wangfei indeed have medical skills. Her acupuncture skills were no worst than Divine Doctor Mo. However, Xiao Wangfei only moves according to Xiao Wangye’s instructions.” Imperial Doctor Qin reported the things he saw, but as for the other?
He will take it to his grave.
If he let the Emperor learned that he cooperated with Xiao Wangye. The Emperor will definitely kill him.
This answer was equal to nothing. But, the Emperor believed Imperial Doctor Qin: “What did Xiao Wangfei say about the third prince’s illness?”
“Xiao Wangfei said that Third Prince’s illness was a man-made creation. Only those people who often had a contact with him can do this.” The only person who was beside Xiao Zian all the time was Divine Doctor Mo.
“You bring people to Divine Doctor Mo’s residence and search again.” Obviously, the Emperor was not under the influenced of Imperial Doctor Qin.
“This subject will obey.” Imperial Doctor Qin personally took his people to check Divine Doctor Mo’s residence. After half an hour, he reported back: “Nothing. Divine Doctor Mo’s residence was very clean.”
The Emperor’s suspicion wasn’t dispelled, but he couldn’t find any evidence. The Emperor couldn’t accept Divine Doctor Mo was innocent. He said: “Announced that Third Prince was now cured. Needless to say, was cured by Xiao Wangfei. As long as it will not sound it’s because of Divine Doctor Mo.”
“Yes.” Imperial Doctor Qin bowed down his head to cover the joy in his eyes.
After losing two times in a row and disregarding the patient’s life and death. He would like to see what will happen to Divine Doctor Mo’s reputation.
When Imperial Doctor Qin left, a hidden spy reported to the Emperor: “Huangshang, Divine Doctor Mo went to the Wind Cliff outside the capital. He seemed to be waiting for someone, but didn’t wait until the person arrives.”
Went to the Wind Cliff?
Didn’t he go outside the palace to send a message to the sects? Why did he go to the Wind Cliff?
The Emperor frowned his eyebrows. There was a disgust in his eyes, but he no longer asked anything related to it. He said: “Summoned Lin Xiang to see zhen.”
The matter regarding Divine Doctor was not urgent. He wanted to ask Lin Xiang today, how did he bring up his daughter in the end? How did his daughter learned medicine?
Just by remembering that he was the one who pushed Lin Chujiu to marry Xiao Tianyao. He couldn’t help but get angry.
It was more like he was hitting his own face.
After learning that Xiao Tianyao’s legs were cured. Lin Xiang was waiting for the Emperor to summon him into the palace. So, he wasn’t shocked to receive an invitation. He entered the palace immediately with the eunuch.
“This minister come to see the emperor. Long Live the Emperor.” Lin Xiang kneel on the floor and gave warm greetings.
Usually, when the Emperor meet Lin Xiang in private. Lin Xiang no longer need to pay a warm greeting. But now, even after a long while, the Emperor hasn’t let him up. The Emperor was indeed angry this time.
The Emperor couldn’t conceal his disappointment in Lin Xiang and Lin Chujiu’s disobedience. This father and daughter treated him like a fool… …
