<strong>Chapter 1083: Chapter 1075: The Answer Revealed</strong>


    After listening to Mu Feng’s description, Xiao Yifei also had an answer in his heart. It turned out that this poison wasn’t something exclusive to Xiao Wushuang, but rather the entire Xiao Family’s proprietary creation. Knowing that this thing was exclusively developed by the Xiao Family, Xiao Yifei felt even more disdainful of them. Any family that could research something so lethal surely couldn’t have many good people.


    After discussing the origin of the poison, Mu Feng handed a sheet of paper to Xiao Yifei. Upon taking it, Xiao Yifei realized it was a chemical analysis report of the substance. Dense with details on the poison’sposition, Xiao Yifei nodded after reading through it and promptly thanked Mu Feng.


    Seeing Xiao Yifei thank him, Mu Feng waved his hand, as he felt everything he did was entirely for Muyun. If anyone should be thanking, it should be Mu Feng. “By the way, Mr. Xiao, about what you said yesterday…” Mu Feng brought up the matter of treating Muyun. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded, indicating he remembered.


    “City Lord Mu, from now on, don’t call me Mr. Xiao; just call me Xiao Yifei.” Xiao Yifei smiled at Mu Feng as he said this. Hearing Xiao Yifei say so, Mu Feng immediately felt he had spoken rather formally and also nodded.


    At this moment, Xiao Yifei turned his gaze toward Muyun on the bed. Muyun was sitting there, watching Xiao Yifei and Mu Feng. Now, Muyun’splexion was much better, at least with some color, and his spirit was considerably improved from yesterday.


    Seeing Xiao Yifei look at him, Muyun also smiled, so Xiao Yifei smiled back before telling Muyun all the subsequent precautions. Then he had someone prepare the medicines Muyun had acquired earlier, some of which needed to be ground into powder. These tasks required time, so Xiao Yifei took a break, as performing the acupuncture technique again demanded a lot of energy.


    Once everything was ready, Xiao Yifei returned to Muyun’s room. By now, all arrangements had been made, and everything was ready, awaiting only the final critical element: Muyun’s extraordinary medical skill. “Shall we begin?” Xiao Yifei looked at Muyun and said.


    Hearing this, Muyun nodded, his face filled with excitement. “City Lord Mu, could you please step aside for a bit?” Xiao Yifei reminded Mu Feng. Hearing Xiao Yifei’s reminder, Mu Feng obediently stepped out of the room. Therefore, only Xiao Yifei and Muyun were left in the room.


    This meant that Xiao Yifei’s acupuncture treatment was about to begin. Outside the door, Mu Feng was waiting patiently, eager in his heart. As long as Muyun’s illness could be cured, Mu Feng’s position would be secure with a sessor.


    “I’m starting now; the process may hurt a bit.” Xiao Yifei picked up the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and reminded Muyun, who was lying on the bed. However, before Xiao Yifei could finish speaking, Muyun interrupted him, saying, “It’s alright, go ahead. I can bear it.” With that, Muyun looked at Xiao Yifei with determination.


    Hearing this, what else could Xiao Yifei say? He just had to do his job well. However, he was immensely impressed by Muyun’s determination.


    “Drink these few herbs first,” Xiao Yifei said, handing the freshly brewed medicinal soup from the side table to Muyun. Seeing Muyun drink it without hesitation, Xiao Yifei was rmed; besides being hot, the medicine was extremely bitter. This fact Xiao Yifei knew very well.


    Yet, Muyun simply twitched his lips and said nothing more. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei heated the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle over a candle me. The subsequent steps were much like before. After preparing, Xiao Yifei wiped the acupuncture points with alcohol.


    “I’m starting.” Xiao Yifei said, then slowly inserted the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle into the first acupuncture point. Muyun initially thought the pain from acupuncture was bearable, but when the needle prated, he realized this pain was on a different levelpared to regr acupuncture.


    Outside the door, Mu Feng suddenly heard a distressing yell from the room. Recognizing it as Muyun’s voice, Mu Feng initially wanted to rush in to check but reconsidered, knowing Xiao Yifei was inside administering the needles. He calmed himself and opted to wait quietly.


    Although the noise pained Mu Feng’s heart, for Muyun’s sake, he endured and chose to pretend not to hear it. As the minutes ticked by, Mu Feng’s anxious mood grew. It had already been four hours, yet there was no improvement.


    Mu Feng couldn’t help but peek through the door crack to see, but it was too narrow to see anything clearly. If anyone passed by, they’d be shocked into silence.


    Because the City Lord of Beijing looked like a curious child, peeking through the door crack, searching for angles, looking utterly ridiculous. Of course, Mu Feng himself was unaware of this. Just as Mu Feng was about to give up peeking and withdraw, the door suddenly opened.


    Xiao Yifei had finished the treatment, tidied everything up, and Muyun, due to the pain and exhaustion, had fallen into a deep slumber. With a long sigh of relief, Xiao Yifei’s tense nerves rxed. In this moment of rxation, Xiao Yifei noticed the box containing the Green-eyed Silver Needle beside him.


    This item originally belonged to Xiao Wushuang, but now it was in his hands. However, it also contained the Green-eyed Silver Needle that Muyun had collected. In a sense, these needles seemed not to belong to Xiao Yifei. Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei suddenly remembered his spection before he had met Muyun.


    Xiao Yifei’s Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle had gone missing due to theft. When he first heard about Muyun collecting these needles, he suspected that Muyun might have his stolen needle. Now, with all existing Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles in this box, Xiao Yifei couldn’t resist checking.


    Thinking through all this, Xiao Yifei reached out and picked up the box. Earlier, due to the urgency of the situation, he hadn’t had the time to focus on this matter. Now with the chance, Xiao Yifei finally remembered to do so.


    Holding it in his hand, Xiao Yifei slowly opened it, seeing six intact Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles lying in the box. One needle not more, one not less. Currently, Xiao Yifei still didn’t know which one belonged to Muyun, so he had to inspect them one by one.


    However, after checking all the needles, Xiao Yifei did not find his own Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. This made him frown; it seemed that his initial suspicions werepletely wrong. The needle Muyun had collected wasn’t taken from him at all.


    Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei felt a bit disheartened. The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was a keepsake from his grandfather, so not recovering it for so long made Xiao Yifei feel he had let his grandfather down in Heaven. But what could be done? Muyun’s needle ultimately wasn’t his.
