The Invincible Supreme Medical God

This despicable scoundrel.

"Grandfather, why are you up so early at the window again today?" Xiao Che led Xiao Qingyue over, naturally greeting Xiao Li.

"Greetings to Grandfather from Qing Yue." Qing Yue curtsied lightly, her posture gentle and graceful. This was her first time being held hand-in-hand and treated in such a despicable manner, which made her both angry and helpless. If it weren’t for this old man being able to see her profound strength at the apex of the Spiritual Abyss Domain, she would have surely used the "Frozen Cloud Art" to freeze Xiao Che until he made a ghostly face.

"Ahaha, you two are also up early." Seeing the intimate appearance of Xiao Che and Xiao Qing Yue, Xiao Che’s face broke into a cheerful expression. "Ah, Qing Yue, while being married at 16 is a bit early, it does put my mind at ease. Qing Yue, you should already be aware of Che’er’s condition. Frankly, this marriage isn’t fair to you. But our family will do everything possible to make up for any loss you may experience. Now, my biggest wish is for you two to live in harmony.

Xia Qingyue couldn’t find a way to respond, and then Xiao Che quickly said: "Grandfather, don’t say that! I, Xiao Che, being your grandson under heaven, where can I not be fit for any woman? Where did we go wrong against her? After joining the family, she’ll naturally pay respects to Grandfather, and with time, carefully take care of me. If she gets it right, then I’ll divorce her and find a better wife. Wouldn’t you agree, my wife, Qing Yue?"

If it weren’t for Xiao Lie standing right in front of them, Xia Qing Yue would surely have forever frozen Xiao Che’s mouth with a session of the "Frozen Cloud Immortal’s" secret art.

"Ahahaha." Xiao Lie laughed, helplessly shaking his head. He looked at Xiao Che with a chuckling gaze: "You, Qing Yue just joined the family, and you’re already bullying her like this. Qing Yue, don’t listen to his nonsense. Che’er, this kid, has never had an honest mouth. Aren’t you two hungry? Knowing you two would come, Old Hong has already had breakfast sent from the kitchen. Come on, let’s eat together." ’

"Grandfather." Right, should we ask Little Aunt to join us as well?’ ’

She’s always loved to sleep since she was little. Since it’s still so early, let’s not disturb her.’

Indeed, the table in the room was already laden with three freshly cooked breakfasts. Xiao Che never let go of her hand and pulled Xia Qing Yue (who was trying hard to appear natural) to one side of the table. Xiao Lie began to sit down opposite them. It was only when hurried footsteps came from outside, accompanied by a sharp voice, that he reached his seat:

The Fifth Elder! Is the Fifth Elder here?’ ’

"What is it?" Xiao Lie stood up, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The ’Clan Leader’ commands. All elders are to proceed immediately to the main hall for a discussion about the future of the small family. You must go right away!’ ’

Xiao Lie stood up, grabbed the coat Xiao Hong handed him, then said to Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue: "Seems urgent. You two go ahead and eat—no need to wait for me.

In Xiao Lie’s memory, there had never been such an urgent call occurring so early in the morning. He draped the coat over his spirit and hurried off.

Only Xiao Lie was left with his right hand, yet Xiao Che’s hand quickly left Xia Qing Yue’s like lightning. With a slightly arched brow, his divine body stepped back. He spoke with a stern expression: "Sweep my wife’s hand, you’re smart, so you must understand that the reason I held your hand was to put Grandfather at ease. I absolutely have no other intentions. Even if I didn’t get your permission in advance, you surely wouldn’t be angry, right?"

Xia Qing Yue’s expression indeed became somewhat icy. She said coldly: "If you dare to touch my divine body so casually again, I won’t be polite." ’

Pfft! You wouldn’t take it that far, would you?!’ Xiao Che widened his eyes, looking at her with a distressed expression. "It’s just holding your hand, and you’re so angry already. We’re still a real couple. Even if you married me to repay a debt, we’re still husband and wife. Because we’re a married couple, me touching is normal everywhere, not to mention just a hand. No, rather, it should be like that! You’ve been married to me for less than a day and yet so indifferent. On our wedding night, you wouldn’t even let me sleep in the same window. Now even holding your hand makes you angry. *Sobs* What kind of wife have I married? In reality, this is even worse than marrying for the Empress.

Xiao Che’s demeanor increasingly gave Xia Qing Yue a helpless feeling. The first time she saw him, she sensed he was quite aloof. Gradually, she also felt his personality was unusual, even carrying a somewhat mysterious air. Many times, the feeling he gave her was that he wasn’t really 16, but rather an adult with years of experience. Apart from his uncouth nature, which could reveal itself any time if not careful.

And now, even when he had clearly acted shamelessly by infringing upon her, he still behaved as though he had done nothing wrong. Instead, he complained boldly like a little scoundrel, turning her from the victim into the villain. For a moment, she was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Even the anger in her chest had unknowingly dissipated.

"Come on, let’s sit down and eat." Xia Qing Yue said weakly.

"In other words, my wife Qing Yue is no longer angry? Ha, that’s more like a good wife. Come on, let’s "eat a lot!" Xiao Che immediately scooted over to sit down, close to Xia Qing Yue, handing her a green bean pancake from the plate.

Xia Qing Yue began to doubt whether her request to her teacher to stay by his side for a month was wrong and a dangerous decision. After Xiao Che and Xia Qing Yue finished breakfast, Xiao Lie finally returned, with an unprecedentedly heavy expression on his face, and a bit of shock not yet fully erased.

"Grandfather, what happened?" Xiao Che quickly stood up to ask.

It’s a significant event. For the Xiao Family, it’s a huge issue. Xiao Lie said, but the furrowed frown on his forehead eased. "However, it doesn’t concern us much."

What’s so significant? What’s going on?’ Xiao Che was even more surprised.

The ’Xiao Sect.’"

The ’Xiao Sect.’ This time, it wasn’t just Xiao Che, but even Xia Qing Yue raised her eyebrows.

About half an hour ago, the clan leader received a letter from the Xiao Sect. The letter stated that the Xiao Sect would immediately send someone here. Not only that, but the leader of this group is the youngest son of the current Grandmaster Xiao Tian of the Xiao Sect! Xiao Lie said slowly.

This news left Xiao Che silent for a while, then he said: "Tears, then something doesn’t add up. Although the Xiao Family indeed originated from the Xiao Sect 160 years ago, the Xiao Sect has always held contemptuous disdain for us. After more than a hundred years of separation, no one in the small sect would care about our small clan. Why would they suddenly send someone here? But to say they’re plotting something—Xiao Sect’s power covers the sky, why would they need to plot against us? To say they’re doing us a favor, that’s even less likely."

Xiao Lie shook his head, saying: "That, of course, there is a reason." Our small family’s founder, Xiao Bilili, was secretly expelled due to his poor talent, but his father back then was Xiao Zheng of the small sect’s Enforcement Hall. Not long ago, Xiao Zheng passed away. In the year before his death, his mind no longer pursued power and fame, but he still had an attachment to Xiao Bilili’s son. After a hundred years without contact, his heart felt guilty. He left a dying wish, hoping that after his passing, the Xiao Sect would find Xiao Bilili’s descendants and select the most talented candidates from among their youth to bring back to the Xiao Sect for cultivation. This was also an apology for his ignoring Xiao Bilili and the subsequent expulsion.

For ordinary people to live over a hundred years is rare. However, when one’s strength reaches a certain level, surviving hundreds of years is not an issue. It’s said that once breaking through to the Emperor level, their expected lifespan stretches to thousands of years. Listening to Xiao Lie’s words, Xiao Che first thought it over, then heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder the Xiao Sect would suddenly volunteer to send someone to visit. So it turned out to be this matter. It seems the late Xiao Zheng still held a certain status within the Small Sect, thus the Small Sect fulfilled his final wish. He also realized why Xiao Lie said it had nothing to do with them. "Selecting the most talented candidate to return to Xiao Sect for cultivation," Such heavy selection had nothing to do with Xiao Che.
