Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 254: Revenge for the Smallest Grievances
"Your Highness, people from the Dongfang Family have come knocking at our door!"
The expression of the guard outside the door was uneasy as he spoke.
Yang Ling’s eyebrows knitted together, and a cold light flashed through his eyes as he let out a cold snort, "What an audacious Dongfang Family, they really don’t take me seriously!"
Although he had not yet become the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, he was still a prince!
For the Dongfang Family to dare bring trouble to his residence was nothing short of a public slap in the face, and Yang Ling’s complexion turned extremely ugly.
Tian Mang’s complexion changed slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Director, this matter started because of me, it would be better to just hand me over..."
Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Since you have joined Xiaoshanhe Institute, it is my responsibility to ensure your safety! Just stay here at ease, even if the Dharma Manifestation Realm ancestor of the Dongfang Family itself comes today, they can forget about taking you away!"
Dharma Manifestation Realm, living over a thousand years.
In any power, they are the pinnacle of existence.
Now, even though Xiao Yi knew that Dongfang Bai was the great young lord of the Dongfang Family, he still reached out to save Tian Mang with the confidence of being able to fight even against a beginner of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.
On the aged face of Bian Yihong, the shock gradually subsided, but his gaze at Xiao Yi still carried heat and admiration.
He coughed lightly and said, "Director Xiao, why must you take action personally? I have some acquaintances with the ancestor of the Dongfang Family, and they will certainly give me some face!"
Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Mr. Bian, I appreciate your kindness, but..."
Before he could finish.
Lin Qian, a disciple of Bian Yihong, spoke up and scolded, "My master is willing to help you, and that’s your honor. With my master’s status and position, even the head of the Dongfang Family would have to show him some respect!"
All this time.
He had always taken great pride in being a disciple of Bian Yihong.
But earlier...
The incurable Tian Mang, who had been diagnosed by Bian Yihong, had miraculously come back to life in Xiao Yi’s hands, and even his shattered dantian had been restored.
This made him feel as if he had lost face, like he had been slapped dozens of times.
Now, seeing the Dongfang Family actually pressuring them at their door, if his master could resolve this matter, it would definitely turn the tables. In his view, one of the reasons Bian Yihong volunteered to step forward was precisely this.
Little did he know.
Bian Yihong was astounded by the Transferring Flowers and Connecting Trees Skill displayed by Xiao Yi, it was miraculous, and he thought of currying favor with Xiao Yi in order to learn this long-lost Secret Technique of the Underworld Doctor lineage from him.
"Shut up!"
Bian Yihong glared at him fiercely, fearing he would anger Xiao Yi, and said with nerves, "Director Xiao, my foolish disciple is ignorant, I hope you won’t hold it against him!"
"Master..."
Lin Qian was utterly bewildered.
He thought he was helping Bian Yihong; how did it turn into a scolding?
"Speak another word of nonsense, and I’ll expel you from the sect!" Bian Yihong turned and slapped him across his face, scolding him in anger.
Lin Qian’s face stiffened, and he dared not say anything more.
But in those downcast eyes, there was a flicker of hatred and resentment.
Xiao Yi looked at Bian Yihong’s ingratiating face and sighed, "Then you may try!"
"Don’t worry, Director Xiao, I will not let you down!"
Bian Yihong’s heart leapt with joy.
Yet his aged body moved with agility, quickly making his way outside to meet the people from the Dongfang Family.
At this moment...
Over a hundred Dongfang Family powerhouses were surrounding a carriage, on which lay Dongfang Bai, wrapped up like a zongzi. The person leading them was one of the five great elders of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Mu.
"Elder Mu, you must stand up for me!" Dongfang Bai said with a face full of grievance.
Dongfang Mu nodded, his face darkening as he said, "Young Master, rest assured, even if Xiao Yi is protected by Yang Ling, he can’t injure my Dongfang Family’s people over a mere fighting dog. Today, I will make him hand over Xiao Yi to kowtow and apologize to you!"
Dongfang Mu crossed his arms over his chest, a green light circulating around his body, his cultivation reaching the nine-fold layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.
Creak!
The gates swung open wide.
Standing before him was Bian Yihong, with his immortal-like demeanor, causing Dongfang Mu to pause and frown, "Bian Yihong? What is he doing here?"
Bian Yihong approached Dongfang Mu and greeted him with a fist-and-palm salute, "Elder Mu, long time no see, how have you been recently?"
"So it’s Mr. Bian, indeed it’s been a while!"
Dongfang Mu returned the gesture to Bian Yihong, but he made sure not to be too cold, considering Bian had a not inconsiderable relationship with the head of the Dongfang Family, and asked, "What brings Mr. Bian here?"
Bian Yihong replied, "I came to His Highness’s residence to treat a good friend of his. But as for Elder Mu, what brings you here?" Find more to read at novelbuddy
Dongfang Mu saw no reason to doubt him and said, "Yang Ling’s friend, Xiao Yi, has severely injured our family’s young master. I have come here to seek justice."
"Xiao Yi?"
Bian Yihong raised an eyebrow and said, "Elder Mu, your timing is not good. Xiao Yi has already left; he went back to the Xiaoshanhe Institute. If you go there now, you might be able to find him!"
"He’s gone?"
Dongfang Mu was taken aback.
If Xiao Yi had left Yang Ling’s residence to return to the Xiaoshanhe Institute, then it wouldn’t be easy for him to seek revenge directly.
Imperial Dragon Mountain.
That is the site chosen by the royal family for offering sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors.
Furthermore, with the Xiaoshanhe Institute’s special status, even the great clans like theirs cannot simply set foot there.
Just when Dongfang Mu found himself in a precarious situation.
Lin Qian, standing beside Bian Yihong, curled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a trace of maliciousness, and feigned surprise, "Master, are you mistaken? Didn’t we just part ways with Mr. Xiao and the others? They are now inside the residence!"
Boom!
Bian Yihong’s body suddenly trembled, disbelievingly looking at his disciple beside him.
He had not at all expected his beloved disciple to trip him up at such a moment.
Dongfang Mu’s face turned an ashen blue as his cold gaze fixed on Bian Yihong. He sneered with a sinister laugh, "Mr. Bian, the Dongfang Family always had a decent relationship with you, yet you do this for an outsider. Isn’t that quite inappropriate?"
Bian Yihong stared intently at Lin Qian and said in a deep voice, "Elder Mu, could you do me the honor of letting this matter go?"
"Let it go?"
Dongfang Mu pointed to Dongfang Bai inside the carriage and roared, "Open your eyes and see for yourself, what condition has my young master been beaten into? This is a slap in the face to my Dongfang Family! Bian Yihong, I, Dongfang Mu, have treated you with respect because of our past affiliations, yet you have played me for a fool. From this day onward, you, Bian Yihong, are forever barred from setting foot in my Dongfang Family!"
Whoosh!
Bian Yihong’s complexion instantly turned pale.
He never imagined that because of a single sentence from Lin Qian, he would be blacklisted by the Dongfang Family.
And furthermore...
The four great noble families are branches of the same tree.
Once shunned by the Dongfang Family, it meant the other three great families, any related families, officials, and citizens would no longer welcome him, Bian Yihong. For Bian, who made his living as a doctor, this was akin to having his limbs cut off and his eyes gouged out!
And the mastermind behind it all was his cherished disciple!
Bian Yihong’s body shook with fury and, in his extreme anger, he spat out a mouthful of blood, pointing at Lin Qian, "You, you unfilial disciple..."
"Unfilial disciple? Humph, old man, you should have thought of today when you slapped me in public to please Xiao Yi."

Lin Qian gave him a cold glance. He had always been the type to hold grudges. Bian Yihong had slapped him in public to appease Xiao Yi, and how could he swallow such an insult? With a fawning expression, he walked up to Dongfang Mu and pointed to the large estate: "Elder Mu, Xiao Yi and the others are inside!"
