Chapter 1056: Chapter 1048: Devastating News

Seeing Mu Feng waver a bit, Xiao Wushuang pressed on, “Moreover, Xiao Yifei is just a descendant of an attendant, and his medical skills are even less refined than mine. If I can’t do it, how could he? I think he’s just boasting.”

Hearing this, Mu Feng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. If what Xiao Wushuang said is true, wouldn’t I be pushing Muyun into a pit of fire? Thinking of this, Mu Feng hesitated. Although he wanted to know the truth, he couldn’t gamble with his son’s life.

The main reason was because of the two people beside Xiao Yifei, the elder Hua and the elder Deng. The two of them speaking in favor of Xiao Yifei made it impossible for Mu Feng to ignore what Xiao Yifei said. So, with just his words, Xiao Yifei left Mu Feng speechless, which led to Xiao Wushuang stepping in.

However, Xiao Wushuang hadn’t anticipated Xiao Yifei’s words to be even more persuasive than Mu Feng expected. Suddenly, Mu Feng was unsure how to make his decision. On one hand, Xiao Yifei claimed he could wake Muyun, but on the other hand, Xiao Wushuang said Xiao Yifei’s medical skills were lacking. Now, Mu Feng had to choose between believing Xiao Yifei or Xiao Wushuang.

After a long moment, Mu Feng looked at Xiao Yifei, shook his head helplessly, and slowly said, “Even if you really can treat Muyun, I won’t gamble with my son’s life, so I won’t allow you to use the needle.”

Hearing Mu Feng’s words, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t be happier. As long as Xiao Yifei didn’t use the needle, Muyun wouldn’t wake up, and her affairs wouldn’t be exposed. Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

But this wasn’t good news for Xiao Yifei. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yifei asked, “City Lord Mu, may I at least see Young Master Muyun’s condition?” Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang inwardly speculated on what Xiao Yifei’s intentions might be this time.

However, Xiao Yifei knew that if Muyun were to die, he would bear this accusation for life, which he could not afford. Hearing this, Mu Feng suddenly became serious. His expression darkened as he shook his head firmly, clearly indicating that Xiao Yifei was not allowed to approach Muyun.

“From this moment on, you are not allowed near Muyun,” Mu Feng’s expression was unpleasant, and his tone was icy. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei gritted his teeth, feeling anxious. Not letting him near Muyun was clearly an attempt to prevent him from proving his innocence. With this in mind, Xiao Yifei felt aggrieved.

“City Lord Mu, until your son wakes up, I carry this stigma. If it were you, how would you feel?” Xiao Yifei’s expression was cold, his words fierce.

Hearing this, Mu Feng was taken aback but immediately shouted, “You should feel so! You did wrong, and you should bear it! This is what you deserve!”

Shouted at by Mu Feng, Xiao Yifei was rendered speechless. Why wouldn’t Mu Feng listen? At this moment, elder Hua, unable to bear it, spoke up, “City Lord Mu, throughout this matter, you’ve had no evidence and already decided Xiao Yifei is guilty. You truly inspire confidence.” Elder Hua mocked.

Hearing elder Hua’s words, Mu Feng also felt uneasy, and the atmosphere became awkward. Xiao Wushuang, anxious over elder Hua’s words, gritted her teeth. She wished Mu Feng would stubbornly believe Xiao Yifei was the culprit.

However, Xiao Wushuang was unaware of who elder Hua and the others were. Their words could make Mu Feng reconsider, causing Xiao Wushuang to speculate internally.

Seeing Mu Feng waver, elder Hua seized the opportunity, “City Lord Mu, why not believe Xiao Yifei this once? What if he does manage to cure Muyun? Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Besides, I myself was once afflicted with a strange illness, and it was thanks to Xiao Yifei that I was healed.”

Elder Hua provided the critical evidence, which was that Xiao Yifei had treated his illness before. With that, Xiao Yifei’s medical prowess was undeniable. Yet, Xiao Wushuang suddenly interjected, “Hmph, a descendant of an attendant managed to treat your illness by sheer luck, perhaps just by coincidence.”

“You…” Hearing the sarcastic tone, Xiao Yifei was momentarily displeased, but elder Hua knew, Xiao Yifei’s familiar technique was definitely not a fluke.

“Xiao Wushuang, you claim Xiao Yifei is a descendant of an attendant; do you have proof?” Elder Deng, unable to stand by, asked Xiao Wushuang sternly. Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang sneered, “Of course, our Xiao Family descendants would undoubtedly have the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, but Xiao Yifei doesn’t have it!”

Hearing Xiao Wushuang’s words, Mu Feng curiously made a sound of interest, then turned to look at Xiao Yifei with suspicion. Elder Hua and elder Deng were left speechless as Xiao Yifei’s Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was once in the hands of a master of Chinese medicine, so Xiao Yifei did not currently have it.

However, elder Hua and elder Deng knew that Xiao Yifei’s Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle had been stolen, but explaining this now would seem like making excuses. Thus, Xiao Yifei was truly like a mute swallowing bitter medicine, unable to articulate his bitterness.

Seeing Xiao Yifei’s silence, Xiao Wushuang taunted, “See, City Lord Mu, he definitely can’t produce it. So, he is indeed a descendant of an attendant. Are you truly comfortable allowing a descendant of an attendant to administer treatment to Young Master Muyun?”

Hearing this, Mu Feng looked at Xiao Yifei and then nodded in agreement. Everything aligned with what Xiao Wushuang said, leading Mu Feng to firmly believe that Xiao Yifei was a fraud. Yet, bringing Xiao Yifei to justice required proof.

After a moment, Mu Feng looked at Xiao Yifei and slowly said, “I’ll let you go for now. Soon, I will summon medical experts from across the nation to treat Muyun. Once he wakes, the truth will naturally come to light, and no one will be able to protect you.”

Hearing Mu Feng’s decision, Xiao Yifei was not angry but rather agreed. This way, all he had to do was wait patiently, without taking action himself, which he welcomed. However, for Xiao Wushuang, this was devastating news.

Listening to Mu Feng, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but worry. If someone actually cured Muyun, what would become of her? The worst part was that she had no grounds to object to Mu Feng’s decision.

Xiao Yifei was different, though. He smiled and nodded, saying, “In that case, I won’t disturb City Lord Mu any further. I’m confident the truth will emerge.” Hearing this, the City Lord snorted coldly, “We’ll see what excuses you have then.”

Hearing the words, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but laugh heartily, “Fine, if I’m responsible, I’ll willingly admit guilt and submit to the law!” With that, Xiao Yifei turned and left Muyun’s residence. Watching Xiao Yifei leave, Mu Feng angrily slammed the table.

“Someone come!” Mu Feng shouted loudly, and his assistant hurried over. “Spread the word, offering a hefty reward for anyone able to treat my son. There will be great rewards in the future!” Mu Feng, with a serious expression, stared at the air in front of him. He couldn’t afford to take this matter lightly.
