Chapter 727: Chapter 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.

Such an opportunity was not something anyone would give up easily.

"Alright, go ahead. We can talk about it tomorrow if there’s anything," Xiao Muli didn’t want to waste any more time with them that night. If he argued with them further, these stubborn old men might just decide not to leave and continue to resist. He didn’t mind it himself, but Situ Xin’s weariness was already evident to him. He needed to ensure she got some rest. As for the internal affairs of the Xiao Family concerning the position of the Mistress, he would handle that himself.

Upon hearing Xiao Muli’s words, the elders finally left with peace of mind, following the ambulance away from the Xiao Family Mansion toward the hospital.

"Baibai, you must be very tired. I’m sorry. It’s all because I’m useless that I’ve made you get involved in resolving this mess." Once everyone had left, only the two of them remained. (If Baibai knew about it, she would probably throw a fit. How could it be just the two of them? Didn’t Baibai count as one too?) Xiao Muli looked at Situ Xin with a pained expression.

"What are you apologizing for? Now that we are engaged, today’s matter is not just yours alone but ours together. Alright, I won’t keep up the talk, I’m genuinely tired today. I’m going to take a shower and head to bed," said Situ Xin as she stood up, yawned, and walked toward Xiao Muli’s bedroom.

Xiao Muli watched Situ Xin yawn gracefully and smiled genuinely at the sight. However, his smile did not last long before his phone’s ringtone interrupted his moment.

Xiao Muli took out his phone and saw it was a call from home in Capital City. He knew without answering that it was his grandfather inquiring about the night’s progress. His grandfather, Old Master Xiao, was one of the only two who knew of his arrangements for this occasion.

Before bringing Situ Xin to the Xiao Family Mansion, his grandfather had been even more excited than he was. Fortunately, he hadn’t shown any lapses in front of Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.

If Old Master Xiao knew of the worries in his grandson Xiao Muli’s heart, he would undoubtedly give him a good smack on the head and scold, "You brat! I’ve eaten more meals than you have had salt. How dare you question me? If I didn’t have at least that much fortitude, I wouldn’t have lasted long in the military."

Although Xiao Muli knew the reason for his grandfather’s call, he resignedly answered the phone: "Hello, Grandpa."

No sooner had Xiao Muli called out "Grandpa," than Old Master Xiao’s excited voice came through the other end: "Muli, how did it go? Did you seal the deal?"
