The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1354: Chapter 1348

Since that’s the case, why should she regard herself as a Fengdong person?

Xin Lin was right; leaving Fengdong was the correct path for her and her mother.

"Murong Ziyue, Fengdong raised you to success, supported your mother for many years, trained soldiers for a thousand days to use them for an hour; now that Fengdong is in trouble, you want to walk away with your mother and cut ties with Fengdong? Unless you repay all the grace you owe Fengdong over the years."

Mulan Family Master also had a livid face.

Just as Xin Lin speculated, the Old Family Master knew he was not long for this world.

Now, seemingly glorious as the Fengdong family appears, there are endless internal conflicts within each branch. What’s more, to date, no one has mastered the Hundred-Ghosts Technique, and temporarily no one is capable of taking the position of Family Head.

Six months is the Old Family Master’s deadline.

Plus, with the Corpse King emerging and the True Dragon legend, the entire Eastern Continent’s situation has become very subtle, making Fengdong’s position as the Ghost-controlling Family increasingly delicate.

Murong Ziyue’s marriage had already been called off, which drew a lot of trouble.

This time, there must be no mistakes in her mother’s marriage.

"Repay it all? If you let my mother go, I’ll marry to save her. Even if it means Murong Ziyue has to walk through fire, I won’t hesitate."

Murong Ziyue had fury in her eyes.

"Ziyue, you don’t need to be so agitated. We came to see the Old Family Master today to resolve matters. If your mother marries, you won’t agree; if you marry, your mother certainly won’t agree either. Why let it end with both sides losing? Why not consider a compromise? For instance, I’ll help the Old Family Master extend his life so he can live another year or two, or even longer, and call off the marriage arrangements for Ziyue and her mother. How does that sound?"

Xin Lin suggested from beside her.

Life extension?

Both Murong Ziyue and the Old Family Master were stunned when they heard this.

Especially the Old Family Master, his face was full of disbelief.

"Young girl, don’t speak nonsense. Can you really save this old man?"

"Xin Lin, do you really have a way?"

Although Murong Ziyue was a bit skeptical, she had witnessed Xin Lin’s medical skill, and Xin Lin could help her with meridian continuation—perhaps she could really...

"I can give it a try, there’s about a fifty percent chance."

Xin Lin could only perform meridian continuation; life extension was just an exaggerated term. However, she could indeed alleviate the Old Family Master’s condition.

If executed properly, she could even extend his life by ten or eight years,

Of course, she would not tell the Old Family Master about this.

After all, the old man had always been so harsh with Ziyue and her mother, so she didn’t care to expend so much effort.

"Why should I trust you?"

The Old Family Master was half believing and half doubting.

"You have no choice but to trust me. Is there anyone else capable of saving you? I fear others can’t even diagnose your illness; otherwise, the entire Fengdong wouldn’t still be in the dark. You just need to call off Ziyue’s mother’s marriage, and I’ll do my best to save you. Old Family Master, this deal won’t cost you anything. Consider that as the Family Head of Fengdong, Ziyue’s mother has a very low status in Fengdong. Trading her marriage for your life extension—by any measure, it’s a most worthwhile exchange. If I were you, I wouldn’t hesitate at all."

Xin Lin spoke confidently.

She was sure the Old Family Master would agree to her terms.

The Old Family Master hesitated, uncertain.

"All right... I..."

The Old Family Master was just about to agree.

"Family Head, you mustn’t do this."

Just as the Old Family Master was about to believe, ready to consent to Ye Lingyue and Murong Ziyue,

an elderly woman, leaning on a cane, hurriedly walked in and called out to the Old Family Master.
