Chapter 1050: Chapter 1042: So Disdain
Upon hearing that Xiao Yifei shared the sa surna as him, Xiao Wushuang beca curious. Just as he was about to ask, Muyun suddenly erged from the inner room, though he was in a wheelchair. Seeing this, both Xiao Wushuang and Xiao Yifei stood up together, and Xiao Yifei finally got a clear look at Muyun’s appearance.
His face was sallow, his lips pale and thin. Seeing this appearance, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but speculate that Muyun was long-ill and difficult to treat, estimating that he might not live beyond five years. Thinking about this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but feel a bit sentintal; born into a good family, yet without the fortune to enjoy it.
“Young Master Muyun.” Upon seeing Muyun approach, Xiao Wushuang hurriedly greeted him respectfully, his tone and expression completely different from when he spoke with Xiao Yifei earlier. Seeing Xiao Wushuang’s deanor, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Muyun nodded at Xiao Wushuang’s greeting, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yifei, “Are you the one who wants to treat ?” Muyun scrutinized Xiao Yifei and asked. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded and politely addressed him as Young Master Muyun. Seeing Xiao Yifei’s appearance, Muyun felt a bit disdainful, thinking that soone so handso hardly looked like a doctor.
“May I know your na?” Muyun naturally directed his question at Xiao Yifei. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei slowly stated his na: Xiao Yifei. Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s na, Muyun expressed curiosity and then said, “You also bear the surna Xiao; are you possibly from the sa lineage as Xiao Wushuang?” From this, it seed Muyun was acquainted with Xiao Wushuang.
However, upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei suddenly rembered that there was more to his Xiao family line than just himself. Could it be that Xiao Wushuang truly was a part of his family lineage? But thinking that Xiao Wushuang might be part of the Xiao family made Xiao Yifei feel a burst of disgust.
Contrarily, Xiao Wushuang didn’t see it that way and slowly said, “Our Xiao family lineage has been doctors for generations, and our dical skills are naturally superb. Moreover, our Xiao family possesses a unique mastery. If one doesn’t know this mastery, they absolutely cannot be considered part of our Xiao family.”
As he spoke, Xiao Wushuang looked at Xiao Yifei with a gaze full of contempt. “Xiao Yifei, do you know?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei silently pondered that the One Hundred and Eight Needles of the Xiao was a technique his grandfather had given him. Could it be that this acupuncture technique was recorded in more than just his own docunt? Otherwise, why would Xiao Wushuang also know about it? Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei frowned and looked at Xiao Wushuang.
Seeing this, Xiao Wushuang assud Xiao Yifei didn’t know and was about to mock him when Xiao Yifei suddenly asked, “Is what you’re referring to the One Hundred and Eight Needles of the Xiao?” Upon hearing Xiao Yifei ntion the na of the acupuncture technique, Xiao Wushuang was montarily speechless.
Xiao Wushuang had never seen Xiao Yifei within the Xiao family lineage, so how could Xiao Yifei know about the One Hundred and Eight Needles? Realizing this, Xiao Wushuang’s gaze beca sowhat shifty as if pondering sothing.
On the side, Muyun, upon hearing the One Hundred and Eight Needles of the Xiao, was also a bit puzzled. He simply sat down slowly, coughed, and watched the two.
After a while, Xiao Wushuang spoke again to Xiao Yifei, “I have lived in the Xiao household since childhood, so why have I never seen you?” Hearing this, Xiao Yifei frowned. He had been with his grandfather from a young age and had no idea there was a Xiao household, let alone having seen Xiao Yifei.
Seeing Xiao Yifei remain silent, Xiao Wushuang chuckled, then slowly said, “In ancient tis, there was an incident within the Xiao family lineage.”
Saying this, Xiao Wushuang glanced at Muyun. Muyun nodded in acknowledgnt, signaling him to continue. Xiao Wushuang then smiled at Xiao Yifei and said, “The One Hundred and Eight Needles of the Xiao, developed by my ancestor, was exceedingly mystical and reputed to cure all ailnts. However, one day, an attendant coveted these needles and stole them from my ancestor.”
At this point, Xiao Wushuang made a gesture of lantation, continuing, “After that, the attendant, ard with the One Hundred and Eight Needles of the Xiao, always believed himself to be the legitimate lineage of the Xiao family. So many years have passed, and I don’t know where this attendant’s lineage is now.”
Saying this, Xiao Wushuang coldly stared at Xiao Yifei, clearly attempting to besmirch him. After hearing Xiao Wushuang, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but be secretly amazed, not expecting such a secret within his family’s history, but more so felt disdain for Xiao Wushuang’s words. He had been told by his grandfather since he was young that he was the legitimate lineage of the Xiao family. His grandfather certainly wouldn’t deceive him.
So Xiao Yifei smiled and angrily looked at Xiao Wushuang, “Nonsense.” Xiao Yifei coldly huffed. Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang sneered at Xiao Yifei, saying, “Hmph, whether it’s true or not can be proven.”
On the side, Muyun also asked how Xiao Wushuang intended to prove it. Xiao Wushuang slowly said, “The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle; anyone from the Xiao family must have it.”
Upon hearing Xiao say this, Xiao Yifei bit his lip. His Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle had long been stolen, so how was he supposed to prove his identity now? Most importantly, he had no way to counter Xiao Wushuang at the mont.
Muyun appeared to have a sudden realization and then, under his watchful eye, Xiao Wushuang slowly produced a box. Upon opening it, five gleaming needles were revealed to everyone’s view. “Here, I have three main needles and two auxiliary needles. How about you? What do you have?”
Xiao Wushuang directed his words at Xiao Yifei, while Muyun also turned his gaze towards Xiao Yifei. At this mont, Xiao Yifei felt utterly helpless but was equally surprised to see so many Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles in Xiao Wushuang’s possession. However, the pressing issue was how to prove his legitimacy.
Seeing Xiao Yifei remain silent, Xiao Wushuang chuckled, “What’s wrong? Can’t produce any?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei looked at Xiao Wushuang angrily, glaring at him, and finally sighed in frustration, gritting his teeth he said, “I don’t have any.”
“I don’t have any.” Xiao Yifei gritted through his teeth, looking at Xiao Wushuang. Upon hearing Xiao Yifei admit to not having the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Xiao Wushuang sneered, “If you don’t have it, it ans you aren’t a legitimate mber of the Xiao family.” With that, Xiao Wushuang pointed at Xiao Yifei.
Seeing this, Muyun also looked at Xiao Yifei and said, “Indeed, without the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, how can I believe you?” Confronted by the two of them, Xiao Yifei was montarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
At this ti, Xiao Wushuang seed sowhat gleeful, recalling earlier when he asked for Xiao Yifei’s na and was rebutted by him, feeling sowhat displeased. This now was the perfect opportunity for revenge, so Xiao Wushuang seized the chance to say to Muyun, “Young Master Muyun, you know the Xiao family’s dical skills; you can’t just find an imposter to treat you.”
While speaking, Xiao Wushuang glanced sideways at Xiao Yifei, clearly implying that the imposter was him. With Xiao Wushuang’s accusation, Xiao Yifei beca a bit angry and pointed at Xiao Wushuang, saying, “Stop making false accusations.”
“False accusations?” Upon hearing Xiao Yifei accuse him of falsehoods, Xiao Wushuang found it rather amusing. With undeniable evidence, how could it be false? Xiao Wushuang looked at Xiao Yifei and pointed at the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle in his own hand, the implication clear.
