The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Leader Xiao!”

Miao Xiuyun walked up to Xiao Shun with an unusual expression.

Xiao Shun was smoking in the yard and was curious to see him like this.

“Chief Miao, why do you look so troubled?”

Miao Xiuyun said bitterly, “A great disaster is about to befall our Silvermeadows Village tonight!”

Xiao Shun frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“According to reliable information, Bronzemeadows and Redmeadows will join forces with Nie Jiu Chong to attack our Silvermeadows tribe tonight!”

Miao Xiuyun was already in a state of panic. If it were a normal day, even with the help of Nie Jiu Chong and other Old School Society experts, he could still put up a fight with the help of the other four elders. But now, two elders were recovering from injuries, and the other two were waiting for medicine. The only ones left to defend the village were him and Xiao Shun.

Just two people to protect an entire village seemed an insurmountable task!

Seeing Miao Xiuyun’s worried face, Xiao Shun remained calm and composed.

“Heh, let them come!”

Miao Xiuyun was stunned by his calm demeanor. He reminded Xiao Shun, “Leader Xiao, this time Nie Jiu Chong himself is coming. Even if your skills are strong, if he teams up with the other two Meadowfolk chiefs, you’ll be facing three opponents alone. I won’t be able to assist you as I’ll be dealing with the others!”

Xiao Shun waved his hand dismissively. “You don’t need to worry about that. Just stay in the village and leave the rest to me.”

Miao Xiuyun looked at Xiao Shun in disbelief. “Do you mean to face the forces of Old School Society and the combined might of Bronzemeadows and Redmeadows alone?”

“It’s no big deal. My goal is to unite the Meadowfolks. If I don’t show them some strength, they won’t submit. As for Old School Society, they’re not worth worrying about.”

Xiao Shun smiled lightly, showing complete disregard for Nie Jiu Chong and his allies. Back when he was at Cliffside, his strength was far less than now, yet he managed to make Nie Jiu Chong flee in defeat. Facing him again now posed no concern.

This wasn’t blind confidence but a firm belief in his abilities. He never worried about defeated foes. As for the remaining Meadowfolk chiefs, he had mastered the secret technique of “Dan Fire into Dantian,” so there was no need for excessive concern.

Perhaps influenced by Xiao Shun’s confidence, Miao Xiuyun’s anxiety gradually subsided. He sincerely praised Xiao Shun.

“Leader Xiao’s demeanor puts me to shame!”

Xiao Shun smiled slightly. “It’s not about demeanor; it’s about having absolute confidence in oneself-confidence that is neither blind nor self-deprecating.”

At such a young age, he already exhibited such maturity. This young man would undoubtedly reach great heights in the future. Following him would not be a loss for Silvermeadows; they would surely have their moment of glory.

Feeling a sense of admiration, Miao Xiuyun’s loyalty to New School Society grew stronger, and his recognition of Xiao Shun reached its peak.

“How are Elder Er and Elder San doing? If they’re not seriously injured, I can remove their Gu poison,” Xiao Shun asked.

Miao Xiuyun replied without hesitation, “I checked on them this morning; their injuries have stabilized and they can receive treatment.”

“Alright, please lead the way,” Xiao Shun said with a faint smile as he extinguished his cigarette and stood up.

They first went to Elder Er’s residence. In just half an hour, Xiao Shun completely removed the “forbidden Gu technique” from Elder Er’s bloodstream.

Seeing Elder Er exhausted from pain yet still saluting him with clasped hands, Xiao Shun shook his head. “Rest well.”

Then they went to see Elder San. After another half hour, Xiao Shun emerged from the room.

Seeing this, Miao Xiuyun didn’t bother asking about Elder San’s condition; he had full confidence in Xiao Shun’s medical skills by now. Instead, he asked a more pressing question.

“Leader Xiao, since Elder Er and Elder San are now fine, can they join the battle tonight?”

“They’ve taken ‘Recovery Pellets,’ and I’ve removed their Gu poison, but they’re still recovering. It’s best if they don’t fight,” Xiao Shun shook his head and continued, “You don’t need to worry too much. I’ll handle most of those coming tonight; any stragglers should be manageable for you.”

Miao Xiuyun explained, “I thought if they could fight off enemies, I could assist you instead of leaving you surrounded.”

Xiao Shun patted his shoulder and smiled lightly. “Only those people could put me in a difficult situation; Nie Jiu Chong and some Gu practitioners can’t threaten me.”

Then Xiao Shun had Miao Xiuyun gather more Silvermeadows villagers for treatment.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Not everyone in Silvermeadows practiced Gu techniques; many lived ordinary lives in the mountains without knowing they carried forbidden Gu techniques within them.

Xiao Shun’s treatments were seen as medical care rather than removing Gu poison. With his current abilities, it took just a minute per person without needing to use “Ghost Door Thirteen Needles.”

After treating ordinary villagers, Xiao Shun moved on to Gu practitioners. Unless they were masters of Gu techniques, each treatment took less than ten minutes.

Thus passed an afternoon of busy work for Xiao Shun.

After curing Silvermeadows’ eighty-year-old forbidden Gu techniques in one afternoon, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

“Leader Xiao, why don’t you rest for a while? You’ve been busy all afternoon; you must be exhausted,” Miao Xiuyun suggested gratefully.

Facing this kind reminder, Xiao Shun didn’t refuse. Treating patients had indeed drained much of his Ethereal Essence; he needed meditation to replenish it.

After just half an hour of meditation, Xiao Shun was revitalized again-thanks to the domineering nature of “Fight Book,” which quickly restored him to peak condition.

As night fell outside and a chilly mountain wind blew through the air carrying a faint scent of impending conflict!
