Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 860 A sudden turn of events
This is how things are in the underworld. It’s hard to explain the grudges, and if someone’s life is involved, it’s even harder to explain.

Of course, what Xing Mucheng said was just her one-sided statement, and the exact truth is still uncertain. But the truth is not important. What is important is how to settle the matter.

This is a very difficult thing to deal with.

No matter what, this is Taohuawu's own internal affair. Yang Yiyi wants to help, and Wu Shaoyi doesn't want the doctor to run away, but as outsiders, they have no excuse to interfere.

Having said that, even if Xing Mucheng doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the underworld, you can't just stay indoors if someone comes to your door.

After all, this is the rule passed down by our ancestors. After ten years of competition, the winner can enter Taohuawu. But now you suddenly say you don't recognize me and stand there refusing to move. This is simply being a rogue.

How about Xing Mucheng being more thorough and going directly to the government for help?
This is like going to court, would it be better?
No, because the title deed to Taohuawu is held by two families, each holding half, which means that half of the house you live in belongs to someone else.

Besides, not interfering in underworld affairs doesn’t mean not caring about one’s reputation. If this gets out, I’d be too ashamed to face anyone.

"In that case, if he wants to fight, then let him fight. Sect Leader Xing was able to win once, so he should have some confidence this time as well."

Yang Yiyi’s idea is very simple. Last time, it was Xing Mucheng’s father who won. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son, so Xing Mucheng should be able to do it too.

However, when it comes to this, Xing Muqing is a little embarrassed:
"Since my father passed away, I have abandoned my martial arts and have been obsessed with medicine all day long."

"Well... there must be some disciples who are capable of great tasks, right?"

"To be honest, I have politely rejected all those who came to me to learn martial arts. I only accept medical students as my disciples."

"..."

No wonder you don't care about the affairs of the world. Taohuawu has simply become a medical clinic.

"Since we can't fight, then we should follow the rules. With Sect Leader Xing's medical skills, it shouldn't be difficult for him to start a new clinic outside, and he can completely get rid of the entanglement of grudges in the martial arts world."

"It's not that I don't want to give up this house. Mu Kai specifically asked for the Peach Blossom Fist Manual. If I hadn't allowed it, he would definitely not have given up. But this thing must not be lost."

This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Are you really doing just as others say, wanting to take advantage of everything?

Xing Muqing also felt that this was too much, and then explained:

"The Peach Blossom Fist Manual is divided into two volumes, one half each. Mu Kai may be planning to follow the example of the master and cultivate both internal and external skills, but the Peach Blossom Fist Manual I hold is not only a boxing technique, but also a valuable medical book that records the medical experience of my ancestors. How can I give it away?"

The ten-year competition was to decide who would live in Taohuawu, but it did not say that the winner would take away all the Taohua Fist Manual. This part was undisputed. It would be an insult to Xing Mukai to ask for it.

But the problem is, what can you do if they kick you out?
As I said, this is someone else's family affair, and Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi have no reason to interfere.

Wu Shaoyi actually wanted to ask if you could help treat my legs first, but he really couldn't open his mouth.

Yang Yiyi was also feeling uncomfortable. She said she came to deliver a letter to the head of Taohuawu. Under the current circumstances, the head would be replaced tomorrow. So, is it okay to deliver the letter to Xing Mucheng?
"You two ladies must be tired after such a long journey. I have asked someone to prepare guest rooms for you. You two may stay here. Tomorrow..."

Speaking of this, Xing Muqing couldn't help but sigh:

"If Mu Kai goes too far tomorrow, please give me some fair words, ladies."

There is no other way. We can’t win, and we can’t blame others. We can only minimize the losses and avoid losing lives.

Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi looked at each other and shook their heads. The difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that it is someone else's family affair. Otherwise, Yang Yiyi would have rushed forward and said, "Fight me if you dare!"

Isn't that the problem?

Since I can't intervene, the most I can do is to be a witness. That's all.

The two were about to get up and say goodbye when a Taohuawu disciple ran in from outside the door, looking flustered.

What the hell? Could it be that Xing Mukai came knocking again?
"Master, the imperial court has sent someone." Xing Muqing thought for a moment and said:
"It may be someone sent by your uncle, please come in."

Many people in Taohuawu were hired as imperial physicians due to their superb medical skills. Xing Mucheng thought that they were sent by his senior brothers who were imperial physicians, so he naturally let them in.

Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi were both planning to get up and leave, but when they heard that the court had sent someone, they both wanted to sit down and take a look. Fortunately, Xing Mucheng didn't say anything to send them away, and seemed to be in a position to let them watch if they wanted.

Soon, the disciple who reported the news came back with a person.

The man was wearing a Feiyu suit and had an embroidered spring sword hanging from his waist. He was young and had a dignified appearance.

It was Sun Wei from Plum Blossom Guard.

When Sun Wei saw Yang Yiyi sitting there, he also showed a slightly confused expression, but he did not come up to greet her immediately. Instead, he clasped his fists towards Xing Muqing and said:

"I am Sun Wei, a captain of the Plum Blossom Guards. I have been ordered to come here to help Sect Leader Xing."

Xing Muqing didn't know Sun Wei at all. When he heard that it was Meihuawei, his eyelids twitched.

The reputation of the Plum Blossom Guards was obviously not very good; they were typical lackeys of the imperial court.

I thought it was sent by my senior brother who was the imperial physician, but who knew it was actually the Plum Blossom Guard. Xing Muqing felt his throat tighten a little, and forced himself to calm down and said:
"I wonder who ordered Captain Sun to come to Taohuawu?"

Sun Wei smiled without saying anything and pointed his finger above his head.

Xing Mucheng understood it at a glance, but because he understood it, he suddenly felt very frightened.

"Captain Sun, we are just gangsters, why..."

"Master Xing is wrong. Taohuawu's medical skills are extraordinary and well-known among the people. Even in the palace, there are imperial doctors who are from Taohuawu. How can you describe them as mere commoners?"

"How dare we? How can we, ordinary people, let the gods hear us?"

"I see. Sect Leader Xing doesn't know this. Is Imperial Physician Fu your senior brother?"

"Exactly."

"Imperial Physician Fu has made great contributions recently. You just need to know this. No matter what happens in Taohuawu, just let us know and we will take care of it."

Presumably, Imperial Physician Fu, who works in the palace, is now a favorite of the Emperor of Yuezhou, and the Plum Blossom Guards certainly know all this.

As a subordinate, you cannot just do what your superiors tell you to do. You have to figure out what your superiors mean.

The Emperor was very optimistic about the Imperial Physician Fu, so the Plum Blossom Guards naturally wanted to investigate Fu's background. Just in time, they found out that someone was about to cause trouble in Taohuawu, so they sent people over.

After some time, when the Emperor asks about Imperial Physician Fu, the Plum Blossom Guard can naturally take credit for it.

Not only have you made contributions, but the emperor also thinks you are particularly capable of doing things, so this is certainly worth doing.

This is roughly what Meihuawei was planning, but the pressure now falls on Xing Mucheng.

With the help of this favorable opportunity, it might not be a bad idea for Taohuawu to completely withdraw from the world.

But you have to pay back the east wind you borrow.

The closer you are to the imperial court, the farther you will be from the underworld. The advantage is that you will be away from the grudges in the underworld, but the disadvantage is that you will probably be under the control of the imperial court in the future.
