Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1198 Going Stealthily

"You think too much."

Jiang Xiaochuan was speechless.

"fart!"

The sixth brother's attitude was unusually resolute, and his small eyes gleamed with a stubbornness that Jiang Xiaochuan had never seen before.

"Fatty, I said something's wrong, and that's it! You have to come with me! Right now!"

"Don't go."

In Jiang Xiaochuan's view, given Lao Liu's philandering and unruly nature, he was probably just acting on impulse and lust after seeing a beautiful woman.

He didn't have the time to force his way into the Murong family in the middle of the night for some dubious "love at first sight" with the sixth brother.

"You're not going?"

The sixth brother seemed to have never considered this question; his chubby face flushed red. "Don't you have any sense of morality? Are you even a friend?"

"Moral obligation? Friendship?"

Jiang Xiaochuan was amused by his words, "We... don't seem to be that close, do we?"

The sixth brother was stunned by his words, opened his mouth, but found that he had no way to refute them.

Upon closer reflection, the two didn't even have a stable cooperative relationship.

But it's absolutely impossible for him to give up now.

The sixth brother steeled himself and threatened, "Don't forget, all the clues to the Holy Tomb are in my hands! If you don't come with me to rescue Tang Ran, I won't take you down into the tomb!"

Jiang Xiaochuan raised an eyebrow, his expression remaining calm.

This was the second time that the sixth brother had threatened him with the Holy Tomb.

He was indeed eager to explore the Holy Tomb before, but now that Feng Ji has broken through to the Nirvana Realm, the old monster of the Huangfu family is only at the Nirvana Realm.

He felt much more confident, so the priority of the Holy Tomb was naturally not so urgent.

"what ever."

Jiang Xiaochuan said calmly, "If you think the treasures of the Holy Tomb are not as important as a passing fancy, I have no objection."

"you you......"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan was completely unmoved by reason, Lao Liu secretly groaned inwardly.

But he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and keep pushing the stakes: "Hey Jiang, I'm not kidding you!"

"Is that so? Then you can just wait to die."

Having something on him in return, Jiang Xiaochuan was naturally not afraid of him.

"Just wait!"

Old Liu was stubborn, but he was a little uneasy inside. But when he thought of Tang Ran, he gritted his teeth and said, "What's the point of me living if I can't even protect my own fiancée?"

"Wait a minute,"

Jiang Xiaochuan interrupted his performance, "If I heard correctly, you just said... 'fiancée'?"

He was almost overwhelmed by Lao Liu's shamelessness.

They only met once, didn't even exchange more than a few words, and she's already his fiancée?

If Murong Jin really does something, will this fat guy still say that he was cuckolded?

"Damn! You think I'm joking with you?!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's expression as if he were looking at an idiot, Lao Liu became really anxious. "I'm asking you, is her surname Tang? Is she a member of the Tang Clan?"

Seeing that he suddenly became so serious and didn't seem to be faking it, Jiang Xiaochuan also put away his joking expression and nodded: "She comes from the Tang Clan."

It's not surprising that Lao Liu found out about this through his connections.

Seeing this, Lao Liu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Fatty, I've been tracking this for a whole day, and it wasn't all for nothing. Besides losing track of people, I've also confirmed some old stories."

"Ok?"

Jiang Xiaochuan was taken aback when he saw a rare deep look appear on Lao Liu's usually unreliable face.

"Many years ago, the previous leader of the Daoyuling Sect—that is, my father—made a marriage agreement with the then female leader of the Tang Sect."

"It is agreed that if the next leader of both sides is a man and a woman, they will become husband and wife."

"why?"

Jiang Xiaochuan asked subconsciously.

"Because many years ago, the Tang Clan was tragically wiped out. It was my father who led the people of the Daoyuling Sect to help us at the cost of their lives, which barely saved the Tang Clan from destruction and preserved the last bit of its incense."

"The girl who survived is now Tang Ran."

The sixth brother's voice carried a hint of heaviness, "However, our Daoling Sect also makes a living by digging up graves and tombs. We have enemies everywhere, and being hunted down is a common occurrence."

"Shortly after that incident, our two factions were separated during an encirclement and suppression operation..."

"Over the years, I have been inquiring about the Tang Clan, but all I have heard is that the Tang Clan has been completely wiped out."

To convince Jiang Xiaochuan, Lao Liu even confessed, "For this reason, I even sneaked off to the Tang Clan's ancestral tombs to take a look..."

"Although we didn't find any direct clues, we took... no, we brought back some relics of the Tang Clan seniors as a way to remember them."

He spoke vaguely, but Jiang Xiaochuan understood that the fat man must have "touched" a lot of burial items.

Putting aside everything else, the Thunder Pearl was taken out at that time.

"Logically speaking, this matter should have been over long ago... Until today, when I was searching for Tang Ran,"

At this point, the sixth brother's expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural, and he mumbled, "Her movements and the way she used hidden weapons were absolutely in the orthodox Tang Clan style!"

After listening to his explanation, Jiang Xiaochuan was somewhat bewildered.

This plot is far too coincidental and dramatic.

"who am I?"

Lao Liu suddenly pointed to his nose and asked Jiang Xiaochuan with a serious expression.

"Aren't you Lao Liu?"

"fart!"

The sixth brother straightened his back, trying hard to appear authoritative, and said, "Fatty is the current leader of the Spirit Stealing Sect!"

Jiang Xiaochuan instantly understood what he meant. Looking at Lao Liu's unusually serious expression, and combining it with the details he mentioned, he realized that Lao Liu was very serious.

Tang Ran's background, that catastrophe, the origins of the two factions...

All of this sounds plausible and doesn't seem like something made up on the spot.

He thought of Tang Ran's always icy pretty face, then looked at his chubby, carefree fiancé in front of him...

This combination is just... hilarious.

"What are you laughing at!"

When Lao Liu saw that not only did he not help, but he could even laugh, he was furious.

"I'm telling you, it's absolutely true! I've been looking for her for years! Now that I've finally found her, she might still be in danger. Will you help me or not?"

Seeing that Lao Liu was truly angry, Jiang Xiaochuan slowly suppressed his smile.

This fat guy is capable of anything when pushed to the limit; if he really causes a scene, even I won't have peace and quiet.

He knew that Lao Liu insisted on dragging him into it simply because he wanted to find a powerful thug and a scapegoat.

In case the Murong family takes this seriously, having him by their side can help draw their attention and provide an extra layer of protection.

But agreeing to break into the Murong family's residence at night would be inappropriate.

“You just outmaneuvered Zhou Wu and the other three Grandmasters all by yourself. Your skills were superb, and I didn’t need to lift a finger.”

Jiang Xiaochuan casually declined, "Besides, compared to the trouble that might be caused by forcibly breaking into the Murong family, I have to weigh the pros and cons of exploring the Crimson Blood Sect's Holy Tomb."

"Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaochuan reached out and closed the door. He was certain that Tang Ran was safe and sound. Once Lao Liu saw her tomorrow, the storm would naturally be quelled.

"Who said we should force our way in? That's not my style!"

The sixth brother immediately stopped him, his small eyes gleaming with a sly light, "Let's go sneakily."
