CHAPTER 1076: CHAPTER 1068: IN A DIFFICULT SPOT

The sudden intrusion of Liu Rui left Xiao Wushuang somewhat at a loss. The scenes with Liu Rui previously were still vivid in Xiao Wushuang’s mind; for him, it was simply a humiliation.

"What happened?" Liu Rui asked in confusion as he looked at the scene before him. However, when Xiao Yifei saw Liu Rui come in, there wasn’t much happiness on his face. From Xiao Yifei’s standpoint, with someone to help him, he should have been pleased, but now he was instead feeling a bit troubled.

Xiao Wushuang observed all this and couldn’t help but start to feel puzzled. Yet, despite his confusion, Xiao Wushuang was determined to frame someone. He snorted coldly, pointed at Xiao Yifei, and said, "What happened? Your brother, he wouldn’t let go of Mr. Muyun, and now he’s finally killed him!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Rui was initially stunned, then sneered disdainfully, clearly not believing what Xiao Wushuang had said. Knowing that Liu Rui wouldn’t believe him, Xiao Wushuang didn’t bother to defend himself further; after all, he was determined to insist that Xiao Yifei was the one who killed Muyun.

"Hey, aren’t you the Divine Doctor? Why didn’t you save Muyun?" Liu Rui remarked sarcastically, glancing at Mu Feng beside him. Upon hearing the question, Xiao Wushuang remained unruffled; he had a reason ready and repeated it.

After hearing Xiao Wushuang’s explanation, Liu Rui couldn’t help but clench his fists, his face showing uncontrollable anger. It was enough that Xiao Yifei had been wronged before; now he was being troubled again. Thinking of this, Liu Rui’s anger flared up on behalf of Xiao Yifei, feeling aggrieved for him.

"Oh, you’re getting angry? This was your problem to begin with, and now you’re upset? Don’t you see who’s beside me? I don’t believe you dare to make a move today." Xiao Wushuang’s words became increasingly arrogant, especially after realizing Mu Feng didn’t know the truth either, giving him more confidence.

"Do you really think I won’t make a move?" Liu Rui said in a low voice, feeling on the verge of exploding. Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang burst into wild laughter, "If you dare to move, City Lord Mu..." Before he finished speaking, Liu Rui took a step forward, punched Xiao Wushuang in the face.

Originally, Xiao Wushuang already had injuries, especially on his face, and now Liu Rui had harshly struck again. Xiao Wushuang immediately rolled on the ground in pain, unable to finish his sentence.

But Liu Rui didn’t stop, punching Xiao Wushuang’s body again and again. If it weren’t for the fear of killing Xiao Wushuang, Liu Rui’s punches would likely have targeted his vital spots.

However, Liu Rui remained rational, not using excessive force or aiming for vital areas. At this moment, Xiao Wushuang hadn’t yet reacted. After some time, he looked at Liu Rui in disbelief, ignoring his own pain.

"You!" Xiao Wushuang pointed at Liu Rui, his face full of disbelief. "What?" Liu Rui contemptuously looked at Xiao Wushuang and spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing this tone, Xiao Wushuang didn’t dare speak for a moment, then glanced at Mu Feng beside him. When he saw Mu Feng looking back at him, Xiao Wushuang quickly said, "City Lord Mu, you have to stand for me." Xiao Wushuang’s tone sounded very pitiful; anyone unaware might really think Xiao Wushuang was the victim.

At this moment, Xiao Wushuang looked pitifully at Mu Feng, hoping Mu Feng would speak up for him. However, the City Lord just watched the scene before him, unmoved.

Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang thought Mu Feng was distracted, so he softly called out to the City Lord, but it was useless; Mu Feng remained unchanged. After a while, he calmly said, "Whoever can cure my son, I will stand by him."

These words sounded ruthless, but they were indeed the heartfelt words of a father. However, when Xiao Wushuang heard this, he felt like crying without tears. "City Lord Mu, didn’t I say I could have saved Mr. Muyun? It’s all because of Xiao Yifei." Xiao Wushuang said helplessly.

Hearing this, Liu Rui kicked Xiao Wushuang hard in the abdomen, indicating it was punishment for his nonsense. Facing Liu Rui’s beating, Xiao Wushuang was angry but dared not speak, much less fight back, feeling extremely wronged.

At this time, Xiao Yifei, who had been silent, finally spoke. He slowly walked to Muyun’s side, casually looked over, and then spoke to Mu Feng, who was beside him, "City Lord Mu, I think I can save Muyun." Xiao Yifei’s words were very firm.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wushuang immediately sneered and said, "Being too confident doesn’t end well." Then he said to Mu Feng beside him, "City Lord Mu, are you assured to let the descendant of an attendant save Mr. Muyun?"

This argument was the same as before, causing Mu Feng to frown. Mu Feng’s face darkened, and he glanced at Xiao Wushuang at his feet, "The same reasoning again, I think you’re afraid Xiao Yifei would really cure Muyun." Mu Feng said with a cold laugh.

This statement struck Xiao Wushuang’s heart. Indeed, if Xiao Yifei cured Muyun, it would prove he was impersonating a Xiao Family member. Once exposed, Mu Feng’s anger would await him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang swallowed hard, glaring fiercely at Xiao Yifei beside him, then explained, "No, City Lord Mu, think about it. Since Xiao Yifei made Mr. Muyun like this, how could he really save him? Therefore, he must be targeting me."

Xiao Wushuang’s argument seemed reasonable, as if it were really the case. But Mu Feng listened, only chuckled, "According to you, if Xiao Yifei could save Muyun, why would he want to harm him? It doesn’t benefit him at all!"

Finally, Mu Feng gave Xiao Wushuang a cold glance.

Hearing Mu Feng say this, Xiao Wushuang finally couldn’t argue anymore, sitting on the ground, conflicted as he looked at Muyun, unsure what to say. "Xiao Yifei, please, you must save Muyun," Mu Feng said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded and turned his gaze to Xiao Wushuang. Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang looked at Xiao Yifei warily, "What are you going to do?" Xiao Wushuang propped himself up and retreated a few steps, asking.

"Not doing anything, I just need something to save Xiao Yifei." Xiao Yifei looked coldly at Xiao Wushuang, then sneered and extended his hand to Xiao Wushuang, "Hand over the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle."

"Hand over the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle!" Xiao Yifei’s tone was very forceful, not giving Xiao Wushuang space to refute. Yet this was Xiao Wushuang’s treasure; how could he hand it over easily just because Xiao Yifei asked? Hence, he simply ignored Xiao Yifei, showing no intention of handing over the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei became somewhat impatient, so he gestured to Liu Rui. Liu Rui saw and nodded in response, then clenched his fists, turning his gaze to Xiao Wushuang, a mischievous smile creeping onto his lips. Seeing Liu Rui’s expression, cold sweat immediately broke out on Xiao Wushuang.
