"Believe it or not, I don’t care," Ye Luo said indifferently.
"Sir, I now suspect you have ulterior motives in infiltrating the Situ Family. Please co with us imdiately," Situ Xing said coldly.
"Ye Luo!"
Several figures approached from the distance, naly Qin Yuru, Ling Qingya, and Shi Yanran.
"Why have you all co?" Ye Luo looked at the three won with so surprise.
"So you were also coming here when you told you were attending a banquet," Ling Qingya said to Ye Luo, unable to hide her realization.
"What are you all doing?" Qin Yuru’s eyes swept over Situ Xing and the others as she spoke.
Situ Xing’s gaze landed on Qin Yuru as he said, "Miss Qin, this fellow entered the Situ Family without an invitation. I suspect he’s up to sothing, so we must take him away for investigation."
"He’s my friend, he wouldn’t have any ulterior motives," Qin Yuru said directly.
"That’s not necessarily true, who knows what this guy is really thinking. You might not know, but this guy is also an Innate Expert. If he causes any trouble at this birthday banquet, it wouldn’t be good," Jiang Feiyun said coldly.
"Sir, please co with us. Otherwise, we’ll have to resort to force," Situ Xing said, locking his gaze onto Ye Luo. The Situ Family guards around them tensed up, their powerful aura focusing on Ye Luo.
"You’ve misunderstood," Shi Yanran and Ling Qingya both said one after the other.
"What’s going on here? Why are you all gathered?"
A deep voice rose. Situ Ao suddenly walked over. When his face turned to Ye Luo, his expression changed, "What are you doing here?"
"Master Situ, we et again."
Ye Luo waved to Situ Ao with a smile.
Situ Ao’s gaze was grave as he stared at Ye Luo, his fist involuntarily clenching. Although he was filled with endless murderous intent and hatred towards Ye Luo, he dared not show it.
He had been poisoned by the other party, and upon returning to the Situ Family the previous night, he had sought out several master healers to examine his body, but none could detect the poison.
This made Situ Ao realize that Ye Luo had not lied, fearing that only he could cure the poison. So, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and murderous intent; otherwise, if sothing happened to Ye Luo, he would be done for as well.
"What’s going on here?" Situ Ao asked, his voice sowhat suppressed.
"Master Situ, this fellow appeared here without an invitation and claid that Miss Situ Luoyun invited him. I suspect he has an agenda and was about to take him away for investigation," Situ Xing quickly explained.
"There’s no need for an investigation, there’s no issue with him," Situ Ao said outright, aware that it wasn’t impossible for this man to know Situ Luoyun and for her to invite him to the Situ Family, so he knew the man wasn’t lying.
Hearing Situ Ao’s words, Situ Xing glanced at Ye Luo and said, "My apologies, sir, it seems I have misunderstood."
"It’s fine; you were also misled by so blind fool’s nonsense," Ye Luo said with a smile.
"You damn bastard, what did you say?" Jiang Feiyun’s face darkened, and he glared at Ye Luo furiously.
"Young Master Situ, this fellow has insulted the guests so much during the birthday banquet of the Situ Family’s elder patriarch, aren’t you going to do sothing about it?" Ye Luo’s lips slightly curled upwards as he fixed his gaze on Situ Ao.
Situ Ao’s face flickered with a shadowy expression for a few seconds before he turned his gaze to Jiang Feiyun and said, "Mr. Jiang, please calm down. Today is my grandfather’s birthday celebration, and I don’t wish for any unpleasant incidents to occur."
"Hmph!" Jiang Feiyun glared at Ye Luo with an ugly expression and imdiately turned around and left.
After that, Situ Ao, along with Situ Xing and others, also left one after another, leaving only the three ladies and Ye Luo.
"How did that Situ Ao beco so obedient to you?" Qin Yuru asked with a look of surprise in her eyes as she watched Ye Luo.
Logically, Situ Ao should have hated Ye Luo thoroughly, so why was there such a sudden change? This left Qin Yuru quite puzzled.
"Because his life is in my hands." Ye Luo said with a smile.
"The head of the Mu Family from Capital City and the elder patriarch have arrived!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed from within the Situ Family residence, and a group of people slowly made their way into the courtyard. Leading them was an old man with white hair and eyebrows, wearing a green robe, and sporting a white goatee, exuding an air of an immortal. He looked kind and amiable, emitting a sense of warmth and closeness. By his side was a middle-aged man dressed in a Zhongshan suit with a square face and an imposing look in his eyes.
These two were none other than Mu Qingsong, known as the National Doctor and the forr Family Head of one of the five great families in Capital City—the Mu Family—and the current Family Head, Mu Yunlong.
A young man was also accompanying them, the third-generation heir, Mu Jianchun.
"Welco, Elder Mu and Head of the Mu Family."
A middle-aged man in a brown robe with a dignified face and a restrained aura ca out quickly from the Situ Family residence, giving off a deeply oppressive feeling.
This man was the current Clan Leader of the Situ Family, Situ Yunchao, whose face bore a smile as he looked at Elder Mu and the Mu Family Head.
"You flatter , Clan Leader Situ." Mu Yunlong said with a slight smile.
"Please co inside, everyone. My father will be out shortly."
As Situ Yunchao spoke, the Mu Family group proceeded toward the great hall.
anwhile, Mu Jianchun’s eyes suddenly caught sight of Ye Luo, causing his body to tremble and his complexion to change. He hurriedly bowed his head.
Ye Luo sat quietly to one side, observing these people as Qin Yuru introduced each person to him.
"I’ve finally waited for Elder Mu to co out of seclusion. Perhaps now there is hope for my grandfather," said Qin Yuru in a murmuring tone, her eyes flickering with light.
"Your grandfather is seriously ill?" Ye Luo asked from the side.
"Yes, my grandfather has kidney failure, and the failure of his other organs has beco extrely severe. I fear he won’t last much longer. Our only hope lies with Elder Mu now."
"After all, he’s been bestowed the title of National Doctor by Huaxia’s leaders, a figure standing at the peak of Huaxia’s dical community. If even he can’t do anything, I’m afraid my grandfather will really..." As Qin Yuru spoke, her expression revealed a trace of sadness, and she sighed.
Ye Luo’s eyes moved slightly as he said, "If you don’t mind, perhaps I could take a look at your grandfather."
"You know dical arts?" Qin Yuru glanced at Ye Luo and then uttered a wry smile, "Even if you know dical arts, my grandfather’s condition is likely beyond cure. After all, even those great masters of dicine in Huaxia have been powerless. What could you, a re twenty-sothing, possibly do?"
