He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

Chapter 129

After the subordinate left, Huo Xiu stretched his hand forward and led Yuan Ting to a remote courtyard.

Huo Xiu got straight to the point. “Regarding the marriage, if the Immortal Emperor allows the seventh prince to choose by himself, I am afraid that spirit clan’s prince will not have any chance at all.”

Yuan Ting sat down on the stone bench and said calmly, “What makes General Huo say this?”

“Spirit clan’s prince, please forgive my rudeness,” Huo Xiu apologized, “It is simply because the seventh prince and Devil Lord Si TuZhao have already been acquainted since long ago. Didn’t you ever question why Si TuZhao would snatch Xi Ning from you at this time?”

The expression on Yuan Ting’s face finally changed. He frowned and said, “If that’s the case, how can the Immortal Emperor accept the marriage proposal letter from the Devil Lord? Besides, why did General Huo not report this matter to the Immortal Emperor, but come to me instead?”

“Spirit clan’s prince, you probably didn’t know I have already reported this to the Immortal Emperor, but because I can’t find more concrete evidence, the Immortal Emperor was not convinced……”

Huo Xiu felt that the Immortal Emperor was deliberately sheltering and favoring Si TuZhao. It was inappropriate for the Immortal Emperor to punish Xi Ning since he was still a candidate for marriage, but why did he still accept Si TuZhao’s marriage proposal letter? In his opinion, the Immortal Emperor doesn’t need the devil clan’s favor at all.

However, the Immortal Emperor was obviously indulgent towards Si TuZhao. Tian Wu Zhu was still in his hands and he didn’t know what other methods Si TuZhao would use to deal with him. Huo Xiu didn’t dare to act rashly at this time. He couldn’t sleep well even when he was holding onto Tian Wu Zhu at night.

So he decided to come to Yuan Ting and try to cooperate with him.

Yuan Ting was not easy to fool. He looked at Huo Xiu. “Since you have no evidence, why should I listen to your one-sided words? What is the purpose of you telling me this today: wanting me to help you deal with the Seventh Prince or Devil Lord?”

Huo Xiu panicked. He blamed himself for being too impatient, but he had already made his move, so he could only brace himself and continue speaking……

He immediately bowed to Yuan Ting, and said solemnly, “Spirit clan’s prince, please forgive my rudeness. What I said is true. I wouldn’t gain anything from becoming enemies with the Seventh Prince or the Devil Lord, right? As for the evidence, I am really ashamed of my inability. But I believe that you can see the awkwardness between both of them.”

Yuan Ting kept silent, recalling the abnormality in Xi Ning’s palace just now.

Huo Xiu said again, “Si TuZhao is a sneaky person. The seventh prince is still young and has scanty experience in life. He was probably deceived by Si TuZhao. Since you already come personally to propose a marriage, how can you let the Devil Lord snatch Xi Ning away……. If you have any orders for me, I will not refuse under any circumstances.”

It was impossible to say how much Yuan Ting liked Xi Ning, but the marriage was about to become a reality, and Yuan Ting naturally wanted to choose the one he was most satisfied with and he thought that Xi Ning was the one.

Who knew that Si TuZhao would suddenly get in his way. Yuan Ting felt weird, but now listening to Huo Xiu’s words, he feels even more annoyed.

He already gave the marriage proposal letter, and would never change to another candidate halfway, but he didn’t want to get involved with Huo Xiu. This person had said everything, but he did not mention his true purpose. Yuan Ting would never believe Huo Xiu didn’t have any other motive at all.

Finally Yuan Ting stood up and wanted to go back. “Alright, I already know what’s happening. Thank you General Huo for kindly informing me.”

He didn’t say anything else, nor did he refuse Huo Xiu directly before he left.

Huo Xiu was not surprised. Seeing Yuan Ting’s reaction, he must have listened to his words, so he would give him some time to consider.

Huo Xiu also quietly returned to his bedroom, where the subordinate who was pretending to be him was waiting. After seeing him return, they exchanged clothes and the subordinate left his room.

In the past few days, when Huo Xiu wanted to see anyone, he went there secretly just to be on the safe side, so that Si TuZhao would not find any faults in him.

After confirming that there was no one around, he took out a small box that was tightly protected with several layers of magic formations from his magic storage ring. After removing the layers of magic formations, he took out the Tian Wu Zhu inside and carefully held it in the palm of his hand.

Huo Xiu looked obsessively at it. He stroked the faintly glowing Tian Wu Zhu, and muttered to himself.

After a while, he suddenly threw the Tian Wu Zhu in his hand again and it fell to the ground with a loud crisp sound.

Huo Xiu frowned and it seemed like he was in pain. A subordinate outside the door heard the sound and knocked on the door. “General Huo?”

He then recovered back to normal, got up and picked up Tian Wu Zhu and held it carefully again. He then replied, “It’s nothing.”
