Chapter 501: 501, I am the rules (third watch)

The person can leave, but their life stays.

Those chilling words made both of them shudder and they immediately stiffened, daring not to move.

At that moment,

a ’swish’ sounded as an icicle shot past the heads of the two individuals and directly pierced into the door frame ahead, severing someone’s hair and leaving it drifting through the air.

The atmosphere was oppressively tense.

Mu Xianxian swallowed nervously as she exchanged glances with Doctor Zhang, both of them seeing terror in each other’s eyes.

Then, the two of them shakily turned around.

Doctor Zhang’s forehead was already covered in cold sweat, and with a trembling voice, he said, "Nine Ye, what, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean? Do I still need to explain it to you? Didn’t Mu Xianxian think that it was unnecessary for Nine Madam to rescue her? Since that’s the case, let her leave her life behind," Mo Zhixuan gave him a glance, his deep eyes filled with chilling frost, his voice also as deep as it could be.

Every sign was pointing out.

Mo! Big! Master! Is! Angry!

The! Consequences! Are! Severe!

"I, I — Xianxian is young and speaks nonsense, Nine Ye, you are magnanimous, please don’t take a child’s words to heart..."

This rule about men not hitting women was set by Mo Zhixuan himself. Could it be that today, he would break his own rule? Would he really kill Mu Xianxian?

Doctor Zhang’s face turned pale as he thought for a moment and then tried to speak lightly and sparingly.

"Nine Ye, to be honest, I came here today specifically to help you with your troubles. I did not expect that not only would you not appreciate it, but you would also insult me. Had I known it would be like this, I would not have come to this secular world no matter what..."

Doctor Zhang’s voice weakened as he spoke, all the while stealthily gauging Mo Zhixuan’s expression, fearful that he had said something wrong again.

Indeed, he had come today to help Mo Zhixuan, though with his own ulterior motives, as he had heard that Mo Zhixuan was about to take the highest position in the Superpower World, and furthermore, he had heard that Zheng Chuyi had also come during this extremely yin-filled night.

As long as Zheng Chuyi was present, Mo Zhixuan would surely get through the night safely, which was why he had hastily rushed over.

Just by being present tonight, regardless of whether he had been of any help to Mo Zhixuan, would be equivalent to successfully forging a connection with him, thereby owing Doctor Zhang a favor in the future.

Who would have expected that such an incident would arise?

It wasn’t Zheng Chuyi who saved Mo Zhixuan but a person who defied heaven’s will.

Had he known this would happen, he would not have gotten involved in this messy affair at any cost.

Now it seems, hoping for Mo Zhixuan to smoothly return to the Superpower World is hopeless.

"So, do you save the person or not?" Mo Zhixuan twirled the ring on his finger, slightly lowering his eyes with an almost imperceptible curve on his lips, his demeanor aloof and detached, seemingly beyond reach.

Such a person, no matter where they were born, would be like a lord who regarded the world as nothing more than playthings.

Chu Jin’s wounds, at this moment, could only be healed by Doctor Zhang. Mo Zhixuan was very clear that his own medicines could only alleviate her pain.

"Nine Ye, this, this, this is putting someone in a difficult position, isn’t it? It’s not that I’m refusing, I truly am powerless..." Doctor Zhang’s face showed his difficulty as he continuously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Alright, it seems that you really do not care for Mu Xianxian’s life." As he spoke, Mo Zhixuan’s finger moved slightly, and a ’swish’—an icicle flew from his palm, shooting directly towards Mu Xianxian’s knee.

With a ’thump,’ Mu Xianxian fell to her knees on the ground, letting out a pained moan, "Uncle... save me..."

"Xianxian!"

Doctor Zhang’s expression tensed. He had not expected that Mo Zhixuan would actually take action against Mu Xianxian. In that moment, he looked at Mo Zhixuan with righteous indignation and spoke.

"Mo Nine Ye, people in the clan all call you Nine Ye out of respect, thinking of you as a hero both venerable and fearsome. But I hadn’t expected that you would be such a faithless person. You established family rules that no man in our clan should bully the old, the weak, the sick, or women. Yet today, you actually attacked a defenseless young woman, violating your own family rules. I wonder, if word of this gets out, how will people in all three realms view you, Mo Nine Ye!"

Doctor Zhang’s words were exceedingly righteous, repeatedly invoking the rules to make his case, and subtly pushing Mo Zhixuan into the eye of the storm. A tall man bullying a weak woman - if this were to spread, what sort of societal uproar would it create?

Someone with even slightly weaker mental fortitude would crumble under this pressure.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Mo Zhixuan.

"You speak to me of rules?" Mo Zhixuan lifted his gaze to Doctor Zhang, his lips curling into a cold smile. "Do you not know that I am the rules? Mu Xianxian has no respect for her elders, not giving her Ninth Aunt the slightest regard, deeming it unfilial! The Ninth Lady ignored her own safety to save her, but she was ungrateful, not only failing to repay the kindness but even slandering her benefactor, deeming it unkind and unjust. Such a petty person devoid of kindness, justice and filial piety, how can she be called a woman? A person like that is not worth mourning if dead. It’s said, ’If the child is not taught, it’s the father’s fault.’ Though you are not Mu Xianxian’s father, you have been indulging her all the same. Her transformation into what she is today, you, her senior, cannot be absolved of responsibility!"

By the time he finished speaking, Doctor Zhang felt cold sweat cascade down his spine, even his hair trembling.

Unfortunately, there was not a single word he could refute in what Mo Zhixuan had said.

"Nine Ye, please calm your anger. I spoke out of turn just now and did not mean to offend you or the Ninth Lady. Please, forgive me." Doctor Zhang had no choice but to submit, immediately kneeling before Mo Zhixuan.

Mu Xianxian was frightened out of her wits, crouched on the ground, not even daring to breathe audibly, yet inside she seethed with resentment. How had Chu Jin stepped in such good fortune to win Mo Zhixuan’s favor, even becoming her Ninth Aunt!

And to top it all off, Mo Zhixuan had saddled her with the hat of unfilial piety!

What a joke. She, a woman who had come out of the Superpower World, was expected to show filial piety to a commoner?

Wait and see. One day, she would make Chu Jin taste the humiliation she had suffered today.

Ninth Aunt, huh?

One day, that title would belong to her.

Mo Zhixuan’s face was cold, and he said nothing, but his entire being emanated an aura of ferocity that sent chills down one’s spine.

"Nine Ye, earlier I misdiagnosed the condition. Blinded by ignorance, the Ninth Lady’s injury — I can heal it. I will go and treat the Ninth Lady right now and hope that you will spare Xianxian." With shaky steps, Doctor Zhang approached the bed, picked up the medical kit from the table, and took out a white cloth. He placed it on Chu Jin’s wrist, and then, through the cloth, began to take her pulse.

At this moment, he couldn’t care less about Heavenly Dao — next to his own life, Mu Xianxian’s life held more importance. The Zhang family only had Mu Xianxian left as their sole descendant.

As seconds and minutes passed under Mo Zhixuan’s supervision, Doctor Zhang carefully treated Chu Jin’s injuries, evolving from initial nervousness to utmost proficiency.

After all, he was a doctor, and not just any doctor — he was highly skilled. Though Chu Jin’s injuries were severe, Mo Zhixuan’s prior treatment with medicine had stabilized her heart meridian, so his current care avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.

About three hours later, Doctor Zhang pulled out the last silver needle from Chu Jin’s temple, slowly exhaling, and respectfully said, "Nine Ye, the lady is now out of danger and should awake shortly."

Mo Zhixuan looked at him, his expression softening slightly, and simply said, "Thank you." He was not unreasonable; since Doctor Zhang had saved Chu Jin, he would treat him with due respect.

"It’s what I should do," Doctor Zhang replied, a bit flustered, bowing continuously. Then he asked, "Nine Ye, since the Ninth Lady is much improved, may I and Xianxian take our leave first?"

At this moment, all Doctor Zhang wanted was to distance himself from this place, to get far away from Mo Zhixuan.

Although young, this man always radiated a sense of danger and oppression.

"Xunian," Mo Zhixuan lightly raised his hand and instructed, "Take them down to rest. Before Jin wakes up, these two must not step one foot outside the Mo family."

"Yes," Zhou Xunian nodded lightly and moved towards them, casting a sidelong glance, "Come with me."

Mo Zhixuan’s words were clear — he did not trust them. This was, in effect, placing them under house arrest. A shadow of concern passed through Doctor Zhang’s eyes, but a glint of light flashed in Mu Xianxian’s.

As long as she could stay in the Mo family a minute longer, she was willing, no matter the reason.
