ner replied without hesitation."Hmm!"Xiao Yu nodded, thinking to himself that if he had found a better traditional Chinese doctor earlier, his son's illness could have been cured without spending so m...Chapter 546: Heading Home

"Xiyu, what's wrong" When Li Suijun turned back, he saw Xiao Y煜的表情, and asked him with confusion.

"Oh, nothing!" After hearing Li Suijun's words, Xiao Y煜's face instantly returned to calmness as he said.

After saying that, Xiao Y煜closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, cultivating himself. Although Xiao Y煜appeared very calm at this moment, waves were stirring inside him.

'Could it be that this soul-devouring mouse is really a treasure-seeking mouse' Even though Xiao Y煜felt somewhat certain in his heart, he still couldn't believe it.

He had seen the soul-devouring ferret back then, but the treasure-seeking mouse was an existence from legends. Despite having lived over a thousand years and being a celestial master, Zhong Kui had never actually seen a treasure-seeking mouse.

Zhong Kui had only read about the treasure-seeking mouse in an ancient text, which described some characteristics of it. And there were many similarities between this soul-devouring mouse's traits and what was recorded in the ancient text.

That's why Xiao Y煜felt somewhat certain that this little white mouse was indeed a treasure-seeking mouse.

Treasure hunting and diagnosis, these are the greatest abilities of the treasure-seeking mouse, from which it got its name. These abilities allow them to sense precious treasures within a certain range.

無形無影, this is one of the survival skills of the treasure-seeking mouse! The speed of an adult treasure-seeking mouse can be incredibly fast; thus, ordinary people find it hard to harm them. Spiritual practitioners prefer using their spiritual perception to locate things, but treasure-seeking mice are like non-existent under anyone's spiritual perception.

Clearly, Xiao Y煜's soul-devouring mouse possessed both of these traits. What puzzled him was that this little white mouse also had some characteristics of the soul-devouring ferret.

Xiao Y煜sat back and pondered silently for a moment. Suddenly, he felt something stir in his chest; the soul-devouring mouse had run to Xiao Y煜's chest and burrowed into his clothes.

After feeling the movements of this soul-devouring mouse, Xiao Y煜smiled slightly on his face. Regardless of what it was, as long as it followed him now, that would be fine.

Suddenly, Xiao Y煜thought of a possibility: Could this soul-devouring mouse be the offspring of a soul-devouring ferret and a treasure-seeking mouse

Xiao Yuyue thought more and more that it was indeed the case, and this descendant had inherited all of their respective strengths.

After considering this possibility, Xiao Yuye nodded in understanding. No wonder he felt puzzled when he first recognized the Soul-eating Mouse; how could a creature like the Soul-eating Mink mate with an ordinary mouse

So this mouse wasn't just any ordinary mouse—it was a Treasure-hunting Mouse! The rarity of a Treasure-hunting Mouse far surpassed that of a Soul-eating Mink. He couldn't even imagine how the Soul-eating Mink had managed to find such a rare creature.

Xiao Yuye secretly felt relieved; he was glad he'd made that trip to Northeast China, otherwise he would have missed out on this little white mouse.

Now, Xiao Yuye didn't know how to address the mouse. After some thought, he sent a burst of consciousness into the mouse's mind: "From now on, I'll call you Little White; you can't reveal your identity as a Treasure-hunting Mouse! Otherwise, I fear I won't be able to live peacefully anymore!"

"Squeak squeak..." Hearing Xiao Yuye's words, Little White chirped twice in his chest as if telling him it had remembered.

Although the Treasure-hunting Mouse might bring Xiao Yuye some trouble, he was a Celestial Master—how could he be afraid of some minor troubles Moreover, this Treasure-hunting Mouse was an extremely rare creature!

Xiao Yuye smiled faintly. Ever since he discovered that the Soul-eating Mouse also had the ability to sense treasure, his mood had been very pleasant. The help it would provide him in the future could not be overestimated.

After several hours of travel, Xiao Yuye's plane landed once again at the special military unit where the Elder Taiye Song was stationed.

When they got off the plane, a few elders were already waiting there along with members of the Zhuo family. After all, Zhusimo was here in an unconscious state.

All of them had heard about what happened and now looked at Xiao Yuye filled with gratitude. Although he was related to these people, some words of thanks seemed unnecessary, yet they didn't know what else to say.

Xiao Yuye explained everything that had transpired to the elders and members of the Zhuo family; after all, Zhusimo, though a member of his own family, was also Xiao Yuye's sworn brother.

When the Zhuo family heard that Xiao Yuye currently didn't have a good solution, they displayed a look of helplessness. The moment Zhusimo got off the plane, Elder Taiye had already taken his pulse and found him to be in perfect health. But why was he still unconscious

"Elder Taiye, my second elder brother's injuries cannot be treated with random medications; what he needs is rest! If we give him random medicines, it might not help but make the situation worse!"

Before Xiao Yu left, he carefully instructed Elder ZHUO Senior. The ZHUO family was also a medical世家, so he was worried that they might give Zhuyue Simo some random tonics, which could cause unnecessary trouble later.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's instructions, Elder ZHUO immediately responded affirmatively.

The previous night, Elder ZHUO had already received a call from Li Suiren, so he was very clear about the situation at that moment. Although he hadn't seen Zhuyue Simo then, he could imagine it well enough. Moreover, Elder ZHUO found it incredible yet somewhat understandable that Xiao Yu could save Zhuyue Simo, considering how surprised he had been when Xiao Yu saved Old Zhong.

After the ZHUO family left, Xiao Yu also bid farewell to Li Suiren and others. The remaining matters no longer concerned him, and there was no reason for him to stay here. Besides, his family was now very worried about him.

Two days after he left, Xiao Yu returned to the quadrangle courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, it was unusually quiet without its usual hustle and bustle.

Xiao Yu walked into the second courtyard with a puzzled look on his face. Only then did he hear some voices.

Following the sound, Xiao Yu entered the living room of his mother's quarters. The living room was left only with Xiao Yu’s family and those few elderly gentlemen; the rest had already gone to work.

At this moment, these elders were sitting on the sofa, each showing a look of self-reproach in their eyes. They hadn't insisted on accompanying Xiao Yu when Li Suiren said they could follow along, but after Xiao Yu left, they regretted not doing so. This was the first time Xiao Yu had done such a thing.

Moreover, Xiao Yu was also a doctor; why did these elderly brothers serve as bodyguards for his grandfather Wasn't it because his grandfather was a doctor

Although Xiao Yu had reported that he was safe today, they still felt guilty and decided to follow him wherever he went from now on.

In their eyes, Xiao Yu was just like his grandfather: though skilled in medicine, his martial arts were not up to par. Even if Xiao Yu currently had considerable cultivation, it wasn't enough against real experts.

"Little Yu, are you back" When Xiao Yu opened the curtain and stepped into the room, all these elders stood up to look at him.

After hearing their greetings, Xiao Yu nodded toward them.

Xiao Jianying and others heard the commotion and also came out from another room.

"Alright, alright, it's good as long as everything is fine!" When Xiao Jiaying saw Xiao Yu after he came out, her originally somewhat agitated expression immediately calmed down. She repeatedly said to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Jiaying also felt helpless; these life-and-death matters seemed to be their father-son destiny. Back then, Zhao Lingyun wasn’t often on missions too Moreover, the last time he went out, he never came back.

Now, Xiao Yu seems to have taken over his duties as well. Regarding this, Xiao Jiaying felt deeply helpless; she could stop Xiao Yu, but she couldn’t prevent him from doing what his father did—putting righteousness first. If she stopped Xiao Yu and something unfortunate happened to his brothers, it’s likely that he would suffer a lifetime of torment.

Therefore, out of helplessness, she could only let him make his own decisions and follow his heart.

Although Xiao Yu didn’t mention the details of what had happened over the phone, Xiao Jiaying knew that things wouldn’t go as smoothly as imagined. Otherwise, Li Sujun would not have gone along, much less where several lives were already lost.

"Little brother, you scared me to death! Why did you just go there Several people died there! If anything happens to you, how will I and Mom survive"

When Xiao Yu’s sister, Xiao Yu, saw her little brother standing at the door, she rushed over and could no longer hold back her tears.

"Big sister, look, am I not alright I’m a doctor. All I did was stay in the camp treating people; you and Mom don’t need to worry!"

Seeing his crying big sister hugging him tightly, Xiao Yu sighed softly in his heart and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Xiao Yu knew that from the moment he accepted Zhong Kui’s legacy, these peaceful days were destined to be far away. He just couldn’t say this to family or anyone else.

"Alright dear, Xiao Yu is back safe and sound. We should be happy now!" Lu Jianhong nodded at Xiao Yu, then went forward to support Xiao Yu's sister and said.

Wan Hongguang had already returned to the ancient city, but as a secretary, he was originally supposed to go along. However, this mission for Xiao Yu was extremely dangerous; if he were to return to the ancient city, there would be no men left at Xiao’s place—Xiao Jiaying and her daughter could not handle everything themselves, and some external matters still required his handling.

Moreover, given that Xiao Yu's fate remained uncertain, it was impossible for him to leave. Therefore, he informed Wan Hongguang of this situation and stayed behind.

In the following days, Xiao Yu didn’t visit them either; instead, he spent his time at home with his family. During these few days, Li Sujun and other elders would occasionally drop by Xiao Yu’s place too. Regardless of who visited, they all took a look at that sinister dagger from him (To Be Continued...)r; how many people nowadays can dine with Mr. Zhu Even if Mr. Zhu knows Xiao Yu, he would certainly not refuse, right After all, Xiao Yu is young, and even in terms of seniority, he must be considered...
