Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"If I'm not mistaken..."

Bian Yihong said with a troubled face, "My name is Bian Yihong!"

"Bian Yihong? Hmm, that's a fine name, I'll observe carefully later... Wait, what did you say your name was?" Liu, who had been speaking proudly, stiffened and stared at Bian Yihong in disbelief.

With a wry smile, Bian Yihong said, "My name is Bian Yihong, I just recently stepped down from the position of Chief Imperial Physician. However, I am definitely not from the lineage of the Wind Thunder venerable, and I don't have any junior brothers..."

"Bian Yihong? But that's not right, Mr. Liu said you were his senior brother, how can you not have any junior brothers?"

Dongfang Qing looked at Liu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mr. Liu, what is going on here?"

Liu's face twitched, a desire to cry welling up in him: "..."

He had spent his whole life bluffing, deceiving countless people.

He never expected to accidentally blunder right into the man himself.

He too had recently arrived in the imperial capital and had inquired about the most prestigious medical expert in the capital, finally setting his sights on the elusive Bian Yihong.

But then...

He had never imagined he would actually run into the real Bian Yihong.

And to show off in front of the man!

Liu glanced at Xiao Yi and the others, seeing that everyone was barely holding back their laughter, looking at him with amusement, it was clear they all knew his true identity and were just watching him put on a show.

In an instant.

Liu fell to his knees with a thud, bursting into tears and begging, "Mr. Bian, spare my life, please... I, I was just trying to make a living, I meant no disrespect to you, please forgive me!"

Dongfang Qing: "..."

At this point, how could he not understand that he had been played by Liu.

Dongfang Qing's face turned shades of green and red.

He had hoped to impress Dongfang Jin and show off in front of him, but instead, he had thoroughly showcased his lack of intellect.

"I'm finished, the elders must think I'm a fool..."

Dongfang Qing internally wailed, his gaze turning fierce as he glared at Liu and shouted angrily, "You, Liu, dare to fool me, the young master? I, I'll kill you, you bastard..."

"What the hell, you want to bite me? I'll bite you to death..."

Liu counterattacked.

The two of them scuffled together.

Dongfang Jin's pale face flushed with anger, and he slammed the table furiously, yelling, "Guards, break this swindler's arms and legs and throw him out. And you, Dongfang Qing, you disgrace, starting from now you are to reflect in the family shrine, not to leave the house for half a year!"

"No..."

"Please, elder, no..."

The two of them wailed as they were dragged out.

Dongfang Jin let out a long breath of turbid air, looking embarrassedly at Xiao Yi and the others: "Your Highness Yang Ling, Headmaster Xiao, my apologies for the farce you had to witness!"

"It's alright!"

Yang Ling waved his hand hurriedly.

Even though he really wanted to laugh, the occasion didn't permit it!

Xiao Yi touched his nose: "In a big forest, all sorts of birds can be found, it's understandable!"

Dongfang Jin: "..."

He could only awkwardly shift the topic, looking towards Dongfang Mu: "Second brother, do you think Headmaster Xiao can cure my illness?"

Dongfang Mu snapped back to reality and nodded earnestly, "Big brother, I've already informed Headmaster Xiao about your condition. He truly has the ability to cure you!" Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

"Hmm?"

Dongfang Jin's eyes turned cold, seeming to chide Dongfang Mu for having disclosed his condition directly.

But Dongfang Mu, as if he had not seen that look, said solemnly, "Big brother, I haven't deceived you. Dongfang Bai, that brat, had his dantian destroyed, and it was Headmaster Xiao who stepped in to help him recover his Golden Core..."

Dongfang Jin was taken aback, looking towards Tian Mang.

Tian Mang's energy surged forth, mighty and peerless.

There were no traces of injury to the dantian at all.

Dongfang Jin frowned and said, "Are you sure... his dantian is damaged?"

"Positive!"

Dongfang Mu quickly said, "His dantian was personally destroyed by that kid Dongfang Bai, and it happened just a few hours ago. This has already been confirmed from the mouth of Dongfang Bai. Brother, you are saved!"

Hum!

Dongfang Jin's face flushed with excitement. Ever since Xiao Tianjiao had crushed his dantian with a single blow,

he had resigned himself to his fate.

After all,

With the power of the Dongfang Family, they had already searched through the prominent physicians of the Great Qian Dynasty, but none had any solution.

And now...

He finally saw hope.

"Xiao..."

Dongfang Jin gave Xiao Yi a deep bow, speaking solemnly, "If you truly can restore my dantian, my life, Dongfang Jin, will be in your hands. In the future, whenever you commission me, whether to climb a mountain of swords or descend into a pot of boiling oil, I, Dongfang Jin, will follow you to the death!"

Despite his sincere words, he was actually harboring some ulterior motives.

He only offered his personal loyalty, not bringing the Dongfang Family into the pledge.

After all,

seeing the relationship between Xiao Yi and Yang Ling, if Yang Ling were to compete for the Crown Prince position in the future, Xiao Yi would surely stand behind Yang Ling.

The Dongfang Family had not yet clearly supported any prince.

He could not entrust the interests of the family to one individual.

Xiao Yi naturally caught the meaning behind his words but didn't mind, saying indifferently, "Restoring your dantian is not difficult. However, my consultation fee is not cheap!"

Dongfang Jin hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Mr. Xiao, given your status, I imagine you wouldn't care for mundane wealth. I once had the fortune of encountering a Nine-headed Demon Python undergoing tribulation to become a dragon and obtained one dragon scale, as well as a jar of Dragon Blood. Would these suffice as compensation?"

As he spoke,

Dongfang Jin took out a piece of cyan dragon scale as big as a calf and a crystal vase thick as an arm from his storage ring.

The dragon scale shimmered with azure light, with strange natural patterns etched upon it.

Merely placing it in front of one...

Instilled a heart-trembling sensation, with a faint oppressive aura spreading, comparable to that of a Dharma Manifestation Realm powerhouse.

The Dragon Blood within the crystal vase was crystal clear, with light undulating inside it.

From different angles, the Dragon Blood showed different colors.

Faintly,

The vibrant colors formed a tiny dragon shadow moving within the blood.

The dragon is the leader of all scaled beings.

Legend has it...

that when a divine dragon soars between heaven and earth, it can hide within the rivers and mountains and travel amidst the clouds and winds. When a divine dragon traverses a mountain, the grass and trees become spirited; when it plays in the water, the fish and shrimp become divine. Should mortals drink a mouthful of Dragon Blood, they could live forever, watch the rivers and mountains change with the years, and remain forever young.

The energy contained within this drop of Dragon Blood was indeed not weak; although not reaching the legendary level of a divine dragon, it was still of a true dragon's lineage.

"The dragon loses its scales twice in its life, once when it transforms into a dragon, and once when it falls. This scale, with its slightly weaker dragon aura, must have been shed during the Nine-headed Demon Python's transformation. This Dragon Blood, with its stronger dragon aura, must have been left after the transformation into a dragon."

Xiao Yi's eyes glinted as he regarded the scale and the Dragon Blood, "This scale could be used to forge a sixth-grade elemental weapon, and the energy in this Dragon Blood... is enough for Little Lin and me to further our cultivation..."

Little Lin was already at a high-tier fifth order, comparable to the Eighth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm.

Xiao Yi's Limitless Golden Core had reversed twenty cycles.

Any further breakthrough would require consuming a great deal of energy.

Having a jar of Dragon Blood, was worth countless elixirs.

With this thought,

Xiao Yi looked at Dongfang Jin and said in a deep voice, "Deal!"
