CHAPTER 1055: CHAPTER 1047: COMPLETELY UNAFRAID

"Are you Xiao Yifei?" At this point, Mu Feng also turned the topic to Xiao Yifei, and upon seeing him, Mu Feng felt a bit puzzled. Xiao Yifei’s appearance was very upright, not at all like someone who would covet money. Thinking of this, Mu Feng quickly dismissed his own thought, as there are always exceptions, and one cannot judge a person solely based on appearance.

Upon hearing the question, Xiao Yifei nodded as well, while secretly scrutinizing the man in front of him, Mu Feng. With a not-too-robust physique and a typical middle-aged man’s appearance, he was quite unremarkable. Walking on the street, few people would recognize him as the City Lord of Beijing.

Seeing Xiao Yifei nod, Mu Feng’s temper flared up too. He pointed at Xiao Yifei and shouted, "Was it you who made Muyun pass out?" Just now, Xiao Yifei nodded, but now he certainly wouldn’t nod again.

"If I say that it wasn’t me who did it, would you believe me?" Xiao Yifei looked at Mu Feng with determined eyes. Despite Xiao Yifei’s gaze being so steadfast that it was somewhat frightening to Mu Feng, Mu Feng still believed that it was Xiao Yifei who did it. So, he persistently asked, "Believe you? How can you expect me to believe you?"

"Then how do you claim it was me?" Facing Mu Feng’s authority, Xiao Yifei showed no fear, speaking each word powerfully. Beside him, both Hua Lao and Deng Lao couldn’t help but admire Xiao Yifei’s demeanor, acknowledging that his courage was truly incomparable to ordinary people.

Seeing that Xiao Yifei was being stubborn, Mu Feng couldn’t help but sneer, "Muyun’s steward saw you inside at that time, do you still want to argue?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yifei sneered as well, saying, "Then how do you guarantee that what he saw was true?" Xiao Yifei’s sharp tongue really gave Mu Feng a headache.

"Fine, fine, such a sharp-tongued fellow." Saying this, Mu Feng couldn’t help but clap. "Xiao Wushuang!"

With this call from Mu Feng, a figure slowly walked out of the room—it was indeed Xiao Wushuang, as Mu Feng had referred to him! Seeing Xiao Wushuang, the previously calm Xiao Yifei suddenly turned a bit grim, yet Xiao Wushuang seemed to completely ignore Xiao Yifei, walking straight to Mu Feng’s side.

"City Lord." Xiao Wushuang softly called, as if barking. Mu Feng nodded upon hearing and signaled Xiao Wushuang to speak.

Upon noticing, Xiao Wushuang pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Yifei, before sneering and explaining the situation’s cause in detail.

"That day, Mr. Muyun had a minor injury, so he invited me to treat him. However, Xiao Yifei somehow heard the news and volunteered to heal Mr. Muyun, pretending to be a descendant of the Xiao Family because of sharing the same surname, Xiao."

From the start of this narration, Xiao Yifei was already feeling anger, but upon hearing this part, a fire had ignited within him. He had never claimed to be a descendant of the Xiao Family—it was completely fabricated by Lin Wushuang, and yet he brazenly stated it, showing utter shamelessness.

"Though he impersonated a descendant of the Xiao Family, I exposed him. He is not a true member of the Xiao Family; his ancestors were merely little attendants who prepared medicine for the Xiao Family. He also stole the Xiao Family’s secret book, claiming himself as a legitimate descendant." Saying this, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but sneer.

Those listening to Xiao Wushuang’s story all looked at Xiao Yifei, but Mu Feng and Xiao Wushuang were contemptuous, while Hua Lao and Deng Lao seemed to believe Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Wushuang continued, "After being driven away that day, he was unwilling, and then took the opportunity to sneak in, stealing my Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, and sneakily needled Mr. Muyun. Obviously, the skills learned by an attendant’s descendant weren’t thorough, which led to Mr. Muyun’s current condition."

Saying this, Xiao Wushuang pointed at Xiao Yifei, righteously declaring, "Doing such a thing is utterly despicable."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei was truly seeing something new, looking incredulously at Xiao Wushuang. This counter-accusation was refreshing Xiao Yifei’s understanding of humanity. However, the most crucial part was that Mu Feng seemed completely convinced, nodding in agreement.

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Yifei helplessly shook his head, then slowly said, "Now, the only one who knows who the culprit is, is Muyun himself. Your words are unfounded; what if they are made up?" While speaking, Xiao Yifei cast a suspicious glance at Xiao Wushuang.

Under such scrutiny, Xiao Wushuang felt a bit guilty, but quickly forced himself to maintain composure. After Xiao Yifei spoke, both Hua Lao and Deng Lao supported him, saying, "Indeed, City Lord Mu, making baseless wild claims without evidence can hardly convince anyone."

Initially, Mu Feng could have completely ignored Xiao Yifei’s words, but with Hua Lao and Deng Lao joining the chorus, Mu Feng couldn’t pretend to be deaf. However, at this moment, Muyun was in a coma, leaving no way to prove Xiao Yifei’s innocence.

"Hmph, who knows who the one making baseless claims really is. Now, Muyun is unconscious, how can he testify?" Xiao Wushuang retorted.

Hearing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but sneer, and said to Xiao Wushuang, "Aren’t you the Divine Doctor? Why don’t you cure Muyun, and then it can prove that you’re telling the truth?" Saying this, Xiao Yifei cast a suspicious look at Xiao Wushuang, clearly provoking him.

This retort left Xiao Wushuang momentarily at a loss for words. After a while, he stammered, "I-I could have cured Mr. Muyun, but you interfered, causing Mr. Muyun’s hidden illness to emerge, making me powerless."

After hearing Xiao Wushuang speak, Xiao Yifei feigned a sudden realization, saying "Oh" in a meaningful tone, which further caused Xiao Wushuang to feel guilty.

"If that’s the case, what if I can wake Muyun?" Xiao Yifei looked at Mu Feng and confidently suggested. Hearing this, Mu Feng frowned, thinking that Xiao Yifei was still considering performing acupuncture on Muyun under these circumstances. Yet, seeing the determined expression on Xiao Yifei’s face, Mu Feng seemed to believe he might be telling the truth.

However, hearing these words made Xiao Wushuang uneasy. If Xiao Yifei really cured Muyun, it would mean trouble for him. This was an outcome he couldn’t allow; the only thought in his mind now was to never let Xiao Yifei treat Muyun.

Just as Mu Feng was about to agree with Xiao Yifei, Xiao Wushuang got agitated and finally couldn’t help but shout, "No, I don’t agree to let Xiao Yifei treat Mr. Muyun."

Upon hearing this shout, everyone shifted their attention to Xiao Wushuang, looking somewhat bewildered. Seeing everyone’s eyes on him, Xiao Wushuang swallowed nervously.

After a while, Xiao Wushuang slowly said, "Earlier, he hurriedly needled, leading to Mr. Muyun’s coma. Now allowing him to act recklessly again, what if it causes a lifelong impact on Mr. Muyun?"

Xiao Wushuang’s words seemed full of concern for Muyun. Hearing them, Mu Feng hesitated, realizing that Xiao Wushuang did make some sense.
