“You old fool, Xue’er is already gone, only Qian’er is left. I’ve been telling you to bring her back, but you stubborn old man never listens!” Lady Zhou cried so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. “Feng’er, quickly go find Qian’er and bring her back!”
“Yes.” Nangong Mufcng didn’t dare to delay any further and hurriedly rushed out of the door.
Although he was fast, his heart was in a mess.
Ever since his eldest sister died, there had been a rift between Qian’er and them, and she had never wanted to see them. Recently, he had been taking care of his father and had not been able to get in touch with Su Qian. However, he could guess that if he went today, he would most likely be rebuffed like six years ago.
However, no matter what, Qian’er was still his eldest sister’s orphan and their family member. This time, he had to think of all ways to beg Su Qian to come back and reunite with his family.
However, before Nangong Mufeng could leave the house, a few well-dressed Nangong family members strode in.
“Nephew, where are you going?” The old man’s sinister laughter rang out, causing Nangong Mufeng to pause in his track.
Two elderly men in their sixties led their children into the room. They looked aggressive, and it was obvious that they were up to no good.
“Thank you for your concern, Second Uncle and Third Uncle.” Nangong Mufeng looked at the two of them and said without a hint of kindness, “Uncles, I still have to go out to look for my niece. Please make way for me.”
“Big brother, Su Qian is just an outsider. Now that Uncle is not doing well, it’s only natural for us to accompany him.” At this moment, a man with a strong back and a stocky waist laughed sinisterly.
“Hey, Shan’er, you can’t say that. Dr. Hao hasn’t seen the family head’s condition yet. You can’t make a rash conclusion.” The second branch of the Nangong family, Nangong Lie’s second brother, Nangong Lei, cleared his throat.
“Dr. Hao?” Nangong Mufeng looked at Nangong Lei in confusion.
It was clear that his second and third uncles had been eyeing the position of the family head all along. They usually wanted to curse their father to death. Why would they help their father find a doctor today?
“Yes, it’s Dr. Hao from Heavenly Medicine Sect.” Nangong Lei continued to smile. “We already know that Big Brother’s health is not good. Dr. Hao is the best physician in Fire Cloud. Let him come and take a look at Big Brother.”
After Nangong Lei finished speaking, a gentle-looking old man stepped forward. He was carrying a medicine box on his back. One look and one could tell that he was a doctor. “Eldest Young Master.”
Nangong Lei saw that the old man was wearing the clothes of a peak third-grade alchemist, so he did not stop him. He held a glimmer of hope and let Dr. Hao diagnose Nangong Lie.
Dr. Hao looked at Nangong Lie’s struggling appearance and fed him a lot of elixirs in one breath. All of them were peak third-grade elixir. They were valuable, but they did not have the slightest effect.
“Master Nangong’s internal injuries are severe, and he is beyond cure. I really have no way to treat him.” Dr. Hao sighed.
Before Nangong Mufeng could say anything, Nangong Lei laughed as if he had succeeded, “It seems like big brother doesn’t have much time left! Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble big brother to hand over the family head token and step down!”
Nangong Mufeng’s eyes widened. “So this is your true purpose?!”
He wondered why these two brothers suddenly had a change of heart. Now it seemed that they clearly had a premeditated plan!
“Nephew, why do you speak so harshly?” Nangong Chen from the third branch also spoke up, “Big brother is about to die, so the position of the family head should be handed over.. You can’t always occupy the position of the family head in the main branch, can you!”
