Chapter 598: Chapter 298: Obliteration of Emotions_2

He had once personally crafted a set of iron armor named "Heaven’s Tribulation," which was invincible.

This man was unrestrained and unconcerned with the distinction between good and evil.

Whenever he met someone to his liking, he would readily call them brother, with his most famous catchphrase being, "Since we are so fated, why not become sworn brothers?"

Such a person’s choice of successor was naturally of the same mold.

The current Sect Leader of Huoyun Mountain was named Zhang Kuangtu.

This fellow was an old drunkard, often elusive, and his actions were quite absurd. He had once caught a rooster and declared he would become sworn brothers with it, even offering it the position of Sect Leader.

Thus, the affairs of Huoyun Mountain were mostly handled by the elder.

At that moment, the elder of Huoyun Mountain stared at Li Nanshuang, who was soaked in a large vat of wine and in a semi-comatose state, his white eyebrows tightly furrowed.

"Although Nanshuang’s life was saved, most of her body has lost feeling, her lower limbs completely petrified. Even our thousand-year-old fire wine from Huoyun Mountain can hardly cure her," he said.

The elder sighed and looked at Master Luoxue, "Luoxue, I fear Shuang’er can only live in a wheelchair from here on out."

Snap!

Before the elder had finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head.

Yan Xishi, hands on her hips, scolded angrily, "Nonsense, what wheelchair, what incurable disease? Do you believe I will chop you? My Shuang’er still needs to have children in the future."

Facing his formidable sister-in-law, the elder felt quite helpless and cast a pleading look at Master Luoxie.

Master Luoxia cleared his throat and said to his wife:

"What your brother means is that Shuang’er’s condition cannot be treated quickly, we need to think this through. If we rush the treatment recklessly, it might worsen her injuries."

The elder nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, exactly."

Yan Xishi glared with widened eyes, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

The two brothers merely stared at each other, clueless about how to respond.

Seeing his wife about to explode again, Master Luoxia quickly said:

"Let’s wait a few days for the Sect Leader to return, then we will figure something out. He must have a way. For now, let that boy keep Shuang’er company, it’s good for them to develop some affection, right?"

Yan Xishi’s expression softened, she asked, "Where is that boy? Don’t tell me you’ve knocked him out again."

Master Luoxia rolled up his sleeves and huffed, "This boy, the moment he wakes up, he keeps clamoring to go to the Capital to find his wife. I might as well tie him up in the bamboo forest behind the mountain with the Sky Spider Web, out of sight, out of mind."

"That’s a real man, proves his sincere love,"

Yan Xishi said.

Master Luoxia’s face immediately beamed, "Ms. Yan is right, that’s a real man, just like me."

Yan Xishi rolled her eyes playfully, "I’m going to persuade that boy. You guys think it over properly, how to treat Shuang’er."

"Wife, I’ll come with you."

"Beat it."

Yan Xishi delivered a kick, heading toward the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.

Upon arriving at the bamboo forest, sure enough, she saw Jiang Shouzhong bound within a huge spider web, like a spider’s prey.

"You rascal, are you hungry?"

Yan Xishi, as if performing a magic trick, produced an egg and tossed it playfully in her hand.

Jiang Shouzhong turned his gaze wearily and said helplessly, "Ms. Yan, can you please let me down first?"

Having spent the last two days with these people of Huoyun Mountain, Jiang Shouzhong had formed a general impression, especially of this straightforward woman, Yan Xishi, who could handle Master Luoxia, a formidable figure.

This woman wasn’t very beautiful, merely pretty, had a bad temper, and her cultivation was even lower.

He couldn’t understand why his boss’s master would like her.

Yan Xishi scoffed, "What? You still want to go to the Capital? Do you know Shuang’er is now hardly different from a dead person? She can’t move at all; it’s because of you that she ended up this way."

Jiang Shouzhong looked guilty and said softly:

"Ms. Yan, whether you believe it or not, I will take care of Shuang’er for a lifetime. But right now, I have some urgent matters in the Capital. After I’m done, I will come back for Nanshuang."

"Your urgent matters are more important than Shuang’er?"

Yan Xishi, hands on her hips, retorted icily, "Jiang Mo, I have already looked into the situation in the Capital. Do you think you can survive a trip there to see your wife? Do you think the court will just watch you cavort around the Capital?

Your warrant has already been issued; you dare not step one foot out of Huoyun Mountain unless you want the imperial guards after you.

I will send someone to explain the situation to your wife in the Capital. Don’t even think about leaving; Shuang’er has already suffered because of you, and you must take responsibility no matter what.

Moreover, you are injured this badly now; you’ve sustained severe damage to your meridians, and whether or not you can continue your cultivation is another matter entirely."

Jiang Shouzhong remained silent.

Yan Xishi was telling the truth: after he arrived in the Capital, he would first be confronted by the inner guards, not Ran Qingchen.

One could say that his going to the Capital was nothing short of walking into a trap.

However... he really needed to meet Ran Qingchen and explain things clearly.

Now that three days had passed since the wedding, he had no idea how things were with the Ran family.

What’s more severe was that the incident of Ran Qingchen and Qu Hongling swearing brotherhood had been exposed, and he feared that the court might vent anger on the Ran family, to the detriment of Ran Qingchen.

Jiang Shouzhong’s mind was in complete disarray.

What troubled him even more was that he had no clue about Hong’er’s whereabouts.

At Li Nanshuang’s request, Master Luoxia had specifically returned to that desert to look for Qu Hongling, but to no avail.

All they knew was that the Sha Nv who had fought with Qu Hongling was seriously injured.

"Kid, I’ll lay it out for you: if Shuang’er really has to spend her life in a wheelchair, then you must marry her and stay in Huoyun Mountain for life!"

Yan Xishi’s tone was domineering, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiang Shouzhong bitterly said, "Then could you at least put me down first? I’m crippled, I couldn’t run even if I wanted to, at least let me see how the boss is doing."

Yan Xishi hesitated for a moment, then gently waved her hand.

Clop!

Jiang Shouzhong fell to the ground.

Yan Xishi tossed an egg to him and said indifferently, "First fill your stomach, take a bath, and change your clothes. I’ll send someone to investigate and explain the situation on the Capital’s side."

Having said that, she turned and walked away.

After taking a few steps, she rushed back, her movements swift, and slapped the back of his head:

"If you dare run, I’ll break your legs so you can spend your next life in a wheelchair alongside Shuang’er!"

"Understood, understood," Jiang Shouzhong said with a forced laugh.

Yan Xishi snorted coldly, then finally left the bamboo grove.

Jiang Shouzhong got up from the ground, leaned against a bamboo pole, and stared blankly at the sky.

"Qingchen, can you forgive me?"

...

After bathing and changing his clothes, Jiang Shouzhong went to the small courtyard where Master Luoxia lived.

In the courtyard, the renowned Master Luoxia sat at the doorway sewing clothes, a sight that made Jiang Shouzhong dumbfounded.

For some reason, he was reminded of Master Luoxue.

Next to him, in the wine jar, the awakened Li Nanshuang was lazily yawning.

The girl’s head was the only thing showing.

It looked quite strange.

Upon seeing Jiang Shouzhong, her eyes lit up: "Braised noodles!"

"Boss."

Jiang Shouzhong approached the wine jar, looking at her current state, his heart felt bitter, and he apologetically said, "I’m sorry, boss, it’s all my fault."

Li Nanshuang still displayed a bright and sunny expression, shaking her head and laughing, "It’s not related to you. Actually, the fact that I am alive is already a miracle, I think it must be the braised noodles secretly protecting me."

"Heh."

Master Luoxia scoffed at the doorway.

Yan Xishi, who was cooking in the kitchen, came over, scooped a spoonful of wine from the jar, and handed it to Jiang Shouzhong: "Try this, how does it taste? It’s my Shuang’er’s bathing wine."

"Master!"

The girl flushed, glaring fiercely at her.

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t mind, opened his mouth and took a sip, immediately feeling a fiery sensation in his stomach, yet the external injuries on his body seemed miraculously much healed.

Yan Xishi nodded satisfied, leaned into Jiang Shouzhong’s ear, and whispered softly, "The girl might have peed in the wine jar too."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Jiang Shouzhong choked.

Of course, he knew she was joking, but it still felt odd that a lady would say such a thing to him.

Next, her next sentence made him even more unsettled.

"You two should have your bridal chamber tonight."
