Chapter 727 - 718 Qualifications (2)_2
"Let them in," Xiao Muli spoke without caring about the life or death of Third Elder Master Xiao. Right now, he just wished the emergency responders would hurry up and get these troublesome old men out of his sight. He looked at Situ Xin with a distressed gaze, noticing the unintended hint of fatigue on her face. He felt guilty that, despite his desire to become a man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Situ Xin, he couldn’t even take care of the woman he loved properly.
"Doctor, come quick and take a look at me. What’s happened to my hand? Why can’t it move all of a sudden?" Third Elder Master Xiao clutched the doctor’s arm as if he had found his only lifeline.
The emergency medical technician seemed a bit bewildered by Third Elder Master Xiao’s abrupt behavior and tried to calm him down, "Please be calm, I need to examine you first before I can determine what’s wrong with your arm."
"Well, since the doctor says we need an examination, let’s do this. There isn’t proper equipment here to perform the check anyway. Third Elder, you should go to the hospital with these doctors. Get a thorough examination, and then we can talk. Once you get the results, remember to call me, so I can be at ease," Xiao Muli said to Third Elder Master Xiao and then turned to address the other elders, "You all are usually close to the Third Elder. He must be feeling terrible right now about his hand. Accompany him to the hospital. Once the results are out, make sure to give me a call to ease my mind." As he spoke, Xiao Muli knew well that with Situ Xin’s Silver Needle Acupoint Sealing technique, no doctor or advanced equipment would be able to detect the issue, let alone treat it.
In other words, besides Situ Xin, only someone who has mastered her technique could undo this paralysis on Third Elder Master Xiao’s arm. Unfortunately, at this time, no one except Situ Xin had managed to learn the essence of the technique. Therefore, Third Elder Master Xiao’s arm could only regain its function if Situ Xin herself reversed it; otherwise, it would remain as it is for the rest of his life.
Xiao Muli’s words sounded caring, but upon closer listening, it was a clear attempt to get rid of them.
Even though they knew Xiao Muli was driving them away, what could they do? They had to follow along with his instructions and go to the hospital.
"Then Family Head, we will go with the Third Elder to the hospital for now. We’ll continue discussing the matter of the Mistress of the House tomorrow," stated Eldest Master Xiao. He had only skimmed the material Situ Xin gave him and hadn’t seen the specifics yet, so he was not yet ready to give up. Not only him, but the other elders were also not giving up. After all, whoever could secure the position of the Mistress of the Xiao Family would be the victor.
