Chapter 66: Dismissing the Xue Family Army (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Xue Fanxin returned to the Duke’s Estate, the butler came to inform her that Xue Batian had woken up.

“Grandpa, you’re finally awake. Thank god.”

Although Xue Batian had woken up, he was in very bad shape. His cultivation had been lost, his meridians had all been broken, and his dantian had been shattered. He was undoubtedly a cripple now, so how could he be in good shape?

However, no matter how bad it was, Xue Batian still forced a smile in front of Xue Fanxin. He did not want his precious granddaughter to worry. “Little Xin’er, Grandpa is fine. It’s all thanks to Little Xin’er this time, or else my old life would have been gone. I didn’t expect Little Xin’er’s medical skills to be so good. It looks like Grandpa’s Little Xin’er has really grown up.”

“Grandpa, you don’t have to bear with your sadness and force a smile on me. I know that you’re feeling very uncomfortable now, but Grandpa, believe me. I’ll definitely help you repair your meridians and dantian.”

“How is that possible? There are no spirit pills in this world that can heal the meridians and dantian, so you don’t have to waste your time on me. Seeing you grow up, I don’t have many regrets anymore. Even if I die, I can die in peace.”

“Ptui, ptui, ptui. What do you mean you can die in peace? I’ll let Grandpa live a long life. Grandpa, I want to discuss something with you.” Xue Fanxin hesitated for a long time, but she still chose to tell Xue Batian her decision.

“What is it?” Xue Batian was no longer so sad. Seeing his precious granddaughter grow up and become smarter, he felt happy even if he had become a cripple.

“Grandpa, I want to disband the Xue family army.”

“What?”

“Grandpa, don’t be anxious and let me finish. With Grandpa’s intelligence, you should be able to guess that this assassination must have something to do with the Nanling Emperor. The Nanling Emperor can no longer tolerate you. He failed to kill you last time, so there will definitely be a second time. Furthermore, he won’t let the Xue family army live a good life. Previously, with the help of the Ninth Imperial Uncle, the Nanling Emperor agreed to distribute rations to the Xue family army, but up to now, there has been no sign of rations.”

Hearing this, Xue Batian’s expression was very stern. He sighed helplessly, “How could I not know about these matters? But without the Xue family army, it’ll be even easier for the Nanling Emperor to kill me. With the Xue family army in hand, he’ll at least have some misgivings and won’t dare to act recklessly. Moreover, disbanding the Xue family army requires a lot of money. I can’t just let them go. They’re all brothers who have gone through life and death with me. I want to ensure their future lives are comfortable.”

“Grandpa, I’ll pay for the disbanding. Two million gold taels should be enough.”

“What did you say? Two million taels of gold? Little Xin’er, where did you get so much money?” Xue Batian was extremely shocked.

Two million taels of gold. There was not so much in the entire Nanling Empire’s treasury!

“Grandpa, this is 100,000 taels of gold. I’ll be able to obtain the rest in a few days. As for this money, just consider it as what the Ninth Imperial Uncle gave me.” Xue Fanxin did not want to explain too much. After all, she had too many secrets.

She did not mean to hide it from Xue Batian. However, the more people knew about such a secret, the more dangerous it would be. Even if she wanted to say it, she had to do it when there was no one around.

Xue Fanxin would glance out of the window from time to time, feeling that someone was eavesdropping.

Which was indeed true.

Li Yaoyao had been searching around in the Duke’s Estate recently, but she couldn’t find it no matter what. In a moment of desperation, she could only take the risk and secretly monitor Xue Batian and Xue Fanxin’s every move and eavesdrop on the corners of the wall to see if she could gain anything.

If she still couldn’t find what that mysterious person wanted, she would be in trouble.
