Tian Qiu abruptly spoke to Tian Xuan and reported the data that he received.
There's no doubt anymore that Bei Xiang is the one that sends someone to plant the Yin curse inside the Wu Xian little sister's body. However, it is impossible for him to do it without having a back up behind him and there's huge possibility that the backup is someone from the Wu Clan.
Tian Xuan turned his head to look at Long Zhang and saw the man smiling gently at him.
He slightly averts his glance and called out to Long Zhang.
"Ah Zhang, I need your help."
"Nn? What is it Xuan Er?" the flirtatious voice makes it feel as if ants crawling behind Tian Xuan's back.
Tian Xuan tried his best to ignore the tone and continue to discuss with Long Zhang seriously.
When Concubine Qian heard it from the side, she also wanted to help Tian Xuan but the boy said that it is better for her to act ignorant.
Then, Wu Xian returned with the servants that Li Yiyuan bought yesterday behind him that is carrying food. They served the food and waited outside of the room.
Tian Xuan put the seriousness aside and enjoyed the breakfast. Long Zhang took advantage of the boy's clumsy eating manner to flirt. Tian Xuan tried to push him aside but the man is too stubborn and clingy.
Concubine Qian felt embarrassed to see the flirtatious Lords so she averted her eyes and focused on eating while Wu Xian has always been dense in this sort of thing, he only thinks that Lord Long is pampering Tian Xuan which should be normal because the man said that he is Lord Tian's fiance.
Long Zhang noticed how Li Yiyuan fond of Wu Xian so he advised the youth to be more gentle toward the other man just like how he, Long Zhang treated Tian Xuan.
Tian Xuan immediately jabbed his elbow to Long Zhang's stomach and told Wu Xian to ignore Long Zhang. He didn't want Wu Xian to give false hope to Li Yiyuan because it will more painful that be ignored.
His desire to inflict pain on the man failed because of the man toughness. Long Zhang just said that it is ticklish and gently patted the boy's elbow.
Today, Tian Xuan planned to send Wu Xian to Shao Clan to settle the debt. Since he is busy with the matter of Bei Xiang, he prepared a backup plan.
As a result, early in the morning, he let Li Yiyuan brings Tian Qiu to accompany Wu Xian while he waited in Wu Clan for the result. If he makes an appearance right away, Shao Clan will be humble and thus, Wu Xian's plan to make the Shao Clan lose their standpoint in the Ru An Kingdom going to be a failure.
Regarding Wu Xian's plan to thoroughly get revenge on Shao Clan, Tian Xuan doesn't have any qualm about it because Tian Xuan is such a person that will side with his family regardless of what the bad thing they did. Only if they massacre mercilessly on the innocent people, Tian Xuan will no longer turn a blind eye.
If Wu Xian wants to bully people that bullied him, sure, Tian Xuan will let the boy do as he likes and might as well support the boy. If Wu Xian resort to even kill the people that are innocent in the Shao Clan, Tian Xuan will prevent it from happening and reprimand Wu Xian.
Other people can bully his people so why can't his people bully the others? As long as it doesn't mess with life and death, Tian Xuan is a mild-tempered person.
Currently, Tian Xuan was hugged by Long Zhang as they snuck into Wu Ningxi's living quarter.
Long Zhang gently put the silver-haired boy down and knocked all the guards into unconscious while standing.
Tian Xuan closed his eyes and tried to sense the weak energy. He walked boldly into the room where he located the weak and feeble energy making the people inside stunned upon his appearance.
"Leader of Ethereal Demonic Black Cloud sect." A woman wearing peach blossom long dress said as she stood beside the bed where a thin youth is lying on.
"En. It's me. Sorry to intrude your living quarter without warning." Tian Xuan nodded and took out a chair for him to sit on.
The woman didn't reply and just stares at him warily. She gripped the ring on her left hand as she frets for any sudden movement coming from the silver-haired boy.
Ever since Tian Xuan said that Wu Xian is his sect disciple, it means that he is siding with Concubine Qian. For many years, she hasn't forgiven the woman for betraying her, yet. If Tian Xuan side with the woman to harm her and her son… she will fight to the death.
Without even need to think so much, he could guess from the exquisite design, the woman is Wu Ningxi and the youth that is thin should be Wu Xian's older brother. The people behind the woman would be the attendants for the boy.
"I would like to offer something to you with conditions, of course."
"… Lord Tian sure jest, how could I compare to head patriarch if you want to make an offer. I'm only an heiress of Wu Clan Head Patriarch, Wu Ningxi and nothing more." Wu Ningxi sat and crossed her legs.
"Hm, you do have something." His mouth curved upward as he spoke.
"May I know what is it that Lord Tian wants?"
"No rush… Let me offer to you first. I can cure your infertile problem and your son illness."
Wu Ningxi's eyes widened for a short moment before she quietly stares at the boy waiting for the next words. He slightly tilted his head and Wu Ningxi understood what he is hinting at.
She dismissed the people, only left three people in the room and they are only her son, him and her.
"I want you to investigate your husband, secretly, without letting him know that you are investigating into him."
"This… I cannot do. He is my husband." Wu Ningxi immediately rejected the idea without taking time to think.
"Don't reject it too fast." Tian Xuan laughed but he doesn't feel humored. His eyes curved into a smile as he spoke, "Someone is using him to harm you and your family."
Wu Ningxi immediately stood up and looked at the boy meaningfully.
"Who?"
"I already knew who but I want you to investigate it by yourself. Who he met, where he went, what he has been doing and what happened to your family throughout the years after you killed his previous wife. I need you to investigate because he will never suspect you and I need those shreds of evidence.
I will cure your ailment regardless of your choice but if you want me to cure your son, you have to give me the report of your investigation."
Wu Ningxi glanced sideways and felt her heart wrenched looking at the son that she has been taking care of for many years.
"Mother… It's fine… I don't need to be healed. If you are cured, you will get another child. There's no need to worry about me." The thin boy smiled weakly as he gazed at his mother with soft and gentle eyes.
"Lian Er! What are you talking about? Mother will never give up on you!" Wu Ningxi held her son's hand and caressed his face.
She doesn't hesitate anymore. She knelt down on both knees before Tian Xuan and agreed to the Lord's offer.
"Please heal Wu Lian first. My matter can wait."
"I knew that you love your son so much so I make the condition as such. Similarly to his health, my request cannot wait. I will only give you few days not because I cannot wait but your son will not have much time anymore."
"This is for you. The instruction to use it is on the back side of the bottle." Tian Xuan took out a porcelain jade bottle that has the cure for Wu Ningxi's illness and left swiftly with Long Zhang.
Wu Ningxi clenched the bottle and sat beside her son with a grim expression on her face.
"Mother… It's alright. If I can just see mother relaxed for once, I would have been happy for the rest of my life." Wu Lian hand trembled as he reached to touch Wu Ningxi's face.
Wu Ningxi took his hand and kissed his forehead as she cried.
"Even if I had another child, I still love you nevertheless so how can I give up on you. Don't worry. If someone truly used your father to harm us and Wu Clan, I really have to investigate this matter." A brief glint flashed in her eyes dangerously as she decided to accept Tian Xuan's offer.
At the same time on the other side, Wu Xian and the others are standing before Shao Clan's main gate. Li Yiyuan is sitting on top of a mass of people that were beaten by Wu Xian while hugging Tian Qiu in his arms.
Wu Xian spoke loudly and clear as if it was a dragon that roared, his voice reached to the main hall of the Shao Clan.
"One should have been prepared to die when killing others. I have come to settle our debt, Shao Xinyue.
If you have Lightning Peers Sword Sect behind you, I have Ethereal Demonic Black Cloud sect behind me. If you have Shao Clan to back you, I have Lord Tian that is watching over me. If you don't get out of your hiding right here, right now…
Mark my word! Even if heaven hide you, I, Wu Xian will make sure to take back what you have stolen from me."
