Chapter 551 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
"Alright!" Su Jinyue called a chorus of voices as Wu Shuyao and Meng Beiye began to playfully peck at each other.
"Captain Wu, is there something you need from me?" After asking Wu Shuyao, Su Jinyue turned to the middle-aged man who had remained silent. "And this is..."
Upon hearing Su Jinyue's question, Wu Shuyao remembered that she had come to Su Jinyue for a serious matter. She glared at Meng Beiye before turning to Su Jinyue to explain her purpose.
“Jinyue, this is the eldest young master of the Xiao family lineage in Kyoto. He has come for his son, Xiao Huai’an…”
It turned out that the middle-aged man had come for his son, Xiao Huai'an.
The Xiao family is a prominent family in Kyoto, with a history spanning hundreds of years before the founding of the nation.
Even during special times, the Xiao family donated a considerable amount of their assets, but it was only money and not enough to cripple them. Because of the donation, the Xiao family was able to preserve themselves and continue their lineage.
After decades of hard work, the Xiao family has restored its ancestral scale and even diversified its businesses.
However, compared to their economic situation, the Xiao family's relationships with their children were quite dismal.
In the past, the Xiao family had many descendants, with both the main branch and collateral branches producing many talented individuals, and the family was thriving.
But at some point, the descendants of the Xiao family began to suffer frequent accidents.
There are various ways to die, such as kidnapping, car accidents, and cutthroat business competition. Each of these methods is different.
By now, very few members of the Xiao family remain.
The member of the Xiao family who came to see Su Jinyue today is said to be the next head of the Xiao family. He came today for his son, Xiao Huai'an.
Xiao Huai'an is 24 years old this year. He is a child prodigy with almost superhuman intelligence. After turning 18, he took over the family business and doubled the industry's profits in just one year!
But along with his achievements came news of his frail health.
Xiao Huai'an was a normal person who could run and jump when he was a child, but when he was 20 years old, he could no longer walk and could only get around in a wheelchair.
Xiao Huai'an underwent numerous examinations, all of which showed that there was nothing wrong with his legs. However, he seemed to have ALS and was unable to support his legs to walk.
The Xiao family tried countless methods to help Xiao Huai'an recover, but now Xiao's father has suddenly come looking for him because Xiao Huai'an's illness has worsened!
He suddenly fainted a few days ago, and after waking up, he was paralyzed and couldn't even get out of bed.
Xiao's father had consulted esoteric practitioners before, but they all said it wasn't a problem with the esoteric arts, yet they had no idea how to treat it.
Xiao's father had a connection with Wu Shuyao's elders. He learned from Wu Shuyao's elders that a highly skilled master of esoteric arts had emerged from the Xuanmen sect. In desperation, he shamelessly asked Wu Shuyao to introduce him to him.
Wu Shuyao also knew about Xiao Huai'an's situation. When Xiao's father came to her door, she felt it was absurd. The entire Xuanmen of the Xiao family had been searched, but they couldn't find any problems with Xiao Huai'an. How could Su Jinyue, who was so young, have a solution?
However, given the relationship with her elders and the father's deep affection for her, Wu Shuyao couldn't refuse and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to his door.
After learning the whole story, Meng Beiye started shouting.
"I'm telling you, Wu Shuyao, aren't you making things difficult for her? You know Xiao Huai'an's situation, how can you let Su Jinyue go up there and take the fall?"
Meng Beiye breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Wu Shuyao wasn't there to poach people, but Xiao Huai'an's troublesome case made him worry about Su Jinyue again.
This Wu Shuyao is so unethical. She showed up at our door without any warning, not even giving us time to prepare.
Mr. Xiao arrived full of hope, but was disappointed the moment he saw Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue is too young. The entire Xuanmen sect couldn't cure Xiao Huai'an's strange illness, and Xiao's father didn't believe that the young Su Jinyue could do it.
However, since they were already there, and thinking of Xiao Huai'an, who was paralyzed in his hospital bed, Xiao's father clung to his last hope and still hoped that Su Jinyue could go and see him, just in case she could really cure him...
“Master Su, I know my son’s condition is unusual and the chances of it being cured are extremely low, but as a father, I still hope that Master Su can take a look at him.”
Regardless of whether it can be cured or not, I will pay the medical fee with both hands.
I've heard that Master Su Xuanshu wants to rebuild his sect's Taoist temple. I don't know anything about temple construction, but I'd like to contribute to your sect.
Mr. Xiao took out a check and said, "Here is one million. I will donate it directly to the Taoist temple, hoping it can be completed as soon as possible and fulfill Master Su's wish."
When he saw Xiao's father take out a check for one million, Meng Beiye was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He secretly glanced at Su Jinyue, and then slowly took two steps toward Su Jinyue.
"Jinyue, since the Xiao family is so sincere, why don't you go and take a look?"
"Although it's not certain that it can be cured, the Xiao family is offering a lot, so there's hope for your Taoist temple!"
Meng Beiye tricked Su Jinyue into coming to the Kyoto branch office under the pretext of restoring the glory of Beiqing Temple, but Beiqing Temple is still in a state of disrepair and there is no way to start.
He had heard Su Jinyue’s ambition for the future of Beiqing Temple, hoping that it would become the number one Taoist temple in the country!
Meng Beiye had seen the scale of the number one Taoist temple in the country. If Beiqing Temple were to be built to be that magnificent, even if he were to do it for eight lifetimes, he still wouldn't be able to finish it!
But now there's a sucker out there, so even if things don't work out, you still get paid. Why not take advantage of that?
Su Jinyue glanced at Meng Beiye, her gaze cool, as if she could see right through his thoughts.
But she didn't say anything, turned to look at Xiao's father, nodded, and agreed immediately.
Su Jinyue agreed to go and treat Xiao Huai'an, not because of the money given by Xiao's father, nor because of Meng Beiye's persuasion, but because Xiao Huai'an's surname is Xiao!
The Xiao family is a family with a thousand-year-old heritage, and their ancestors were once glorious. It is unknown whether the ancestors of the Xiao family are related to Xiao Jing'an.
Xiao Jing'an died in this world without leaving any offspring, but it's impossible for the royal family to be completely wiped out.
If the Xiao family in Kyoto is indeed a descendant of the royal family of the Xiao Dynasty a thousand years ago, then the Xiao family is very likely to have ancestral records. Perhaps those ancestral records contain information about Xiao Jing'an's death, and she could obtain some clues about how Xiao Jing'an was treated after his death, and then find the mastermind behind the murder sooner.
Since she had already agreed and they were both in Kyoto, and Su Jinyue was currently free, she decided to go and see them now without delay.
As the next generation heir of the Xiao family, Xiao's father's arrangements were quite appropriate.
No sooner had the decision been made than Xiao's father's assistant arranged everything. As soon as Su Jinyue arrived downstairs, the car was already ready.
Su Jinyue got into the car naturally, and Wu Shuyao, as the middleman, also went along. Seeing this, Meng Beiye shamelessly got into the car as well.
Seeing that the car was already full, Mr. Xiao paused and got into another car.
