Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Not Real Siblings

Xuenuo’s mind couldn’t process it right away.

I’m clearly his older sister, so why is our blood incompatible?

Could there be something wrong with the ‘Sword Qi Blood Induction’ technique I used?

That shouldn’t be the case. How could I mess up such a simple spell?

“Could it be that Xuenuo and Ming aren’t…”

Xuenuo suddenly had a bold hypothesis.

Xuenuo herself was startled by this thought.

If this idea were true…

It would mean that Xuenuo and Ming don’t share the same father.

Suddenly, Xuenuo felt like her old man’s head was covered in green.

“Fine then! I’ll quickly take him to the city!” Yanhan said anxiously.

Jiang Luoyu looked at Xuenuo, “Then why does your sword heart seem unstable?”

The Xu and Qin families have been too arrogant lately. If Ming becomes the prince’s consort, wouldn’t their tails reach the heavens?

“Ming is still too young, only eleven years old, and doesn’t understand matters of love, but it’s no problem. In these few years, we can properly handle Ming’s relationship with Xu Guo Mansion.”

“Go! Quickly call over the medical cultivator from your county government office!”

In the Wu Dynasty, every county government office has an assigned medical cultivator mainly responsible for handling major emergencies and those toxic practitioners who lose their minds.

The county magistrate was sound asleep at home when he was informed that the county official had been swapped out, leaving him utterly confused.

After a night of treatment, they had changed the clean water basin countless times.

Xuenuo had no choice but to return, unable to defy her master’s orders.

Wudu specially formed an investigation team led by a Gold Body Realm martial artist to personally come and investigate the situation.

“I know!”

We must find a way to separate Ming from Xu Guo Mansion.

Harming an imperial official and impersonation have already crossed the Wu Dynasty’s bottom line, trampling on its dignity.

This matter was quickly reported to Wudu.

But the Ten Thousand Sword Sect sent a flying sword message, calling Xuenuo back to the sect.

Even though she hadn’t done anything, carrying a head with a blank expression is quite terrifying.

Otherwise, if any one of them died, the mood would be unimaginably heavy.

“Yes, please wait a moment, Sword Immortal,” the county magistrate swallowed and quickly went to summon the medical practitioner employed at the county office.

Xuenuo didn’t expect her master to have noticed this.

Not long after, the medical practitioner from the county office was called over.

Wei: “To Your Majesty, when Xu Ming was severely injured, Xuenuo just arrived and used the secret technique ‘Sword Qi Blood Induction’ of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect to try to treat Xu Ming, but Xu Ming’s bloodline was incompatible with Xuenuo’s.”

After all, in places like the Xu and Qin mansions, some decadent and dramatic events are quite common.

Jiang Luoyu nodded, “Too low a realm.”

By this time, the county magistrate had already taken charge of Xinping County.

Of course, this kind of “because others are worse off, I feel better” mentality is based on everyone being safe and sound.

“Hmm?” The Emperor stood up immediately, “Could it be…”

Medical practitioners generally don’t treat people; the main medical responsibilities in the county still fall on the doctors within the county.

Jiang Luoyu: “What level is the opponent?”

Xiong Haizhi thought they had it bad enough, but when they saw Xu Ming wrapped up like a mummy in bed, their hearts instantly balanced out.

“Tsk!”

On the fourth day, Xu Ming was still unconscious.

Originally wanting to carry Xu Ming to Xinping County, Yanhan clicked her tongue, looking rather displeased, but still ran down the mountain.

Even though some unsavory things might have happened at Xu Guo Mansion, it’s none of my business.

Who knows if she won’t suspect me of being an impostor and cut me down with a sword.

On the third day, officials from Jiangnan Prefecture had already been dispatched to inquire about and investigate the specific circumstances.

Just as the medical practitioner was about to rest,

Wei also smiled politely, “According to Xu Ming’s instructor Wang Meng’s description, Xu Ming’s physical strength may not be lower than that of a Martial God body. Without any mishaps, his future achievements will likely reach at least the Mountain Peak Realm.”

This cultivator realized he had more work to do.

It’s quite rare for someone with a spiritual root to practice martial arts.

Xuenuo reined in her emotions, holding Xu Ming and flew towards Xinping County.

Jiang Luoyu looked into her disciple’s eyes and bluntly gave the result: “This indicates they have absolutely no blood relation and are not real siblings.”

Jiang Luoyu looked at her disciple, “Did you test the sword?”

Seeing the bloodied person lying in bed, the medical practitioner was also startled, even thinking at first glance that the little boy was beyond saving.

The Emperor eagerly unfolded the secret report, reading it again and again, greatly pleased: “This Xu Ming! Not bad! Truly worthy of the person I chose!”

After returning to the sect, Xuenuo came to the Holy Lord Peak to report.

Inside Liu’s residence, the investigators from Jiangnan Prefecture discovered Liu’s corpse, but Liu’s face was missing.

“A pair of siblings, the sister uses the ‘Sword Qi Blood Induction’ technique to transfuse blood and heal her younger brother, yet a strong rejection occurs. Why is that?”

Xuenuo nodded, “Yes, I did.”

“Your Majesty… This is the account of Xu Ming’s battle at Book South Mountain.”

“Master…”

Fortunately, the county magistrate’s professional skills were solid, effectively stabilizing the entire county office.

Xuenuo: “Mid-Dragon Gate Realm.”

When dawn broke, Xu Ming finally escaped life-threatening danger, and only then did the medical practitioner wipe his sweat and deeply exhale.

“You dog servant, stop teasing and speak quickly.” The Emperor pointed at Wei and laughed while scolding him.

Jiang Luoyu: “Speak.”

Xuenuo: “Killing him wouldn’t be difficult.”

But when the county magistrate saw the “Star-Killing Sword Immortal” arrive, he became uneasy again.

As for Sheng, the rank-four monster beast Thunderstorm Bear, and the imposter Liu’s corpse, they were all transported back to Wudu.

Upon arriving at the Xinping County Government Office.

The Emperor nodded contentedly.

After detailed diagnosis, however, it was discovered that the little boy’s life essence was very robust, especially the spiritual root in his dantian, which was doing everything possible to sustain his life.

“Your Majesty perhaps needn’t worry about this point anymore.” Wei grinned flatteringly, “There’s another piece of good news I must report to Your Majesty.”

Xuenuo wanted to wait until Xu Ming woke up.

The little girl lightly bit her thin lips, “Master, there’s something I don’t understand.”

In the Imperial Study, Wei handed over a secret report.

[Xuenuo or Ming must have no blood relation to the Xu family!]
