"Tell me, who is it that's coming?"

"I am surprised," said the divine physician.

Ru Feng's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth as he said:

"It's your master, he wants to see you."

Doctor Mu snorted and said in a muffled voice:

"He's caused me so much trouble, and he still dares to come?! I'm going to meet him and see what he's up to..."

Ru Feng led Doctor Mu to the courtyard, where his master, who had been missing for many days, was already sitting, waiting leisurely.

Upon seeing him, the divine physician Mu was filled with anger. Before even reaching the pavilion, he continued to curse as he walked:

"I've lived long enough, but I've never seen a master as heartless and insane as you. This is truly an eye-opener."

The divine healer walked into the pavilion, sat down by himself, and said with a sidelong glance:

"I thought he was a monster with three heads and six arms, but he turned out to be just an old man on his deathbed."

The white-haired old man, sitting upright, was not angry. Instead, he quietly observed Doctor Mu and said, word by word:

"I did act without thinking things through, but now that things have come to this, I have no regrets. I believe that if Mo Chen had a choice at the time, he would have taken the Mother-Child Gu as well."

"Pah! You turned him into a mindless living dead! And you think he'd be grateful? You're dreaming!"

Ru Feng frowned and retorted:

"Master may mean well, but you don't understand the young master. The young master would never want to become a puppet!"

Seeing the two men's strong hostility towards him, the white-haired old man stopped arguing and simply stated a fact:

"If war is about to break out, a puppet can at least stabilize the morale of the Mo family army."

"You only care about Mo Chen's life or death, but have you thought about the survival of the people in the world?"

The white-haired old man's words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves!

Ru Feng hurriedly said:

"Impossible! There have been no reports of foreign invasion from the border recently! And our people haven't sent any news either!"

Since Mo Chen fell into a coma, Ru Feng has been most afraid of war on the border. He has been paying close attention to intelligence from the frontier almost every day, and there should be nothing wrong with that.

But the white-haired old man gave him a disdainful look and slowly said:

"Just because you can't see or hear it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If things hadn't become extremely urgent, why would I have fed Mo Chen the Gu poison? Only if he lives can the army's morale be stable and its soldiers united, thus deterring foreign powers!"

Seeing the white-haired old man speak with such certainty, the divine physician calmed down and patiently asked:

"What do you know?"

"War is imminent. With two emperors passing away in succession, this is the perfect opportunity to invade. Meanwhile, the enemies outside are making alliances to attack, hoping to take advantage of the situation..."

Ru Feng exclaimed in shock, "How could this be?! Who wants to form an alliance to attack Tian Shu?"

Warfare is always a matter of life and death, and now that the young master is in such a state, it is far too dangerous!

But the divine physician sensed something was amiss and said:

"Such a major event as the alliance between the two armies should not be something you could have discovered on your own. How did you find out?"

"How do I know? Because I am one of the allies, of course I know."

Ru Feng was shocked again, and he shouted in disbelief:

"Impossible? Why would you betray your country?!"

The white-haired old man snorted:

"Treason?! I have never been a citizen of Tian Shu Kingdom from the beginning. This plot has been going on for far too long! Now is the time to close the net."

Now that things have come to this, what else could Doctor Mu not understand? Mo Chen's master was not from Tian Shu Kingdom; he was a spy sent by another country. Now that he had leaked the information, he naturally knew that Tian Shu Kingdom was about to be besieged.

The Divine Physician looked at the person opposite him and said in a deep voice:

"Who exactly are you? What are your intentions?"

"Hahahaha, who am I? I am naturally the one who will destroy the people of Tian Shu Kingdom!"

"I want this dynasty to be destroyed! I want the Tian Shu Kingdom to be handed over to Mo Chen!"

"I want Mo Chen to become the emperor of Tian Shu, I want to elevate him to a divine position!"

The shouts erupting in the courtyard were filled with madness, sending chills down one's spine! Especially from Ru Feng, the former master who taught him and Mo Chen, who was now not only a traitor but had also revealed that he was actually a spy whose mission was to destroy the Tian Shu Kingdom...

The divine physician's gaze turned slightly cold as he looked at the almost frenzied state of the person before him and calmly asked:

"The way you're saying these things to me doesn't look like you're turning yourself in. What do you want?"

"Or... what do you want me to do?"

……

The master, who was gradually becoming frantic, changed his attitude and calmed down. He remained silent for a while, seemingly struggling...

But in the end, Master Mo Chen stood up, no longer looking directly into Doctor Mu's eyes. He turned to look at the sky and said in a leisurely voice:

"Let go... I'm confident my medical skills aren't much worse than yours. I took his pulse back then..."

"Chen'er doesn't even have a month left to live... That's why I decided on my own to extend his life..."

“He drank the Gu worm, and although he doesn’t look as good as before, at least he’s alive. If you insist on breaking this bond, Chen’er’s life will still be lost… neither you nor I will be able to save him… it’s better to let him continue to live…”

"As long as he lives, he will be the spiritual pillar of the Mo family, and the Mo family army will still have vigorous vitality!"

"As long as he lives, I guarantee that he will not be harmed when the army breaches the city gates. The entire Tian Shu royal family will be wiped out, and as a prince, he can rightfully become an emperor. Apart from paying tribute on time, the Tian Shu Kingdom will remain unchanged!"

After hearing this, both Ru Feng and the divine healer found it unbelievable, even thinking that the person opposite them had gone mad.

Suppressing her last bit of respect, Ru Feng advised:

"Master, you're wrong! The young master never wanted to be emperor! You're making him a puppet; even if he became emperor, he wouldn't feel it!"

Ru Feng had always felt guilty for leaving his master and young master alone, which led to the young master being poisoned by his closest relatives. Seeing his master so ruthless again, he could no longer hold back and loudly rebuked him:

"Why does Master insist on imposing his own ideas on the young master?!"

The white-haired old man's eyes widened, and he roared with bloodshot eyes:

"Because he has to kill the Tian Shu royal family! They killed Mo Chen's mother! Naturally, they must pay the price!"

"Whether it's the Emperor Emeritus or Xuanyuan Ming, they will all die! They will all be buried with the princess! I'm doing this to avenge Chen'er and to avenge his mother!"

"Even if Chen'er doesn't like it, he has still taken his revenge! He must ensure the extermination of his father's murderer's entire family before ascending the throne! That way..."

"Only then can his mother rest in peace in the afterlife..."

As he spoke, the white-haired old man was overcome with grief and actually shed tears of blood.

Liquid, blood-red, flowed from his eyes, sliding down onto his clothes—a truly horrifying sight…

His words shocked Doctor Mu.

The Divine Physician Mu had considered that Mo Chen's involvement in this matter might be related to his background, but he never imagined it would be so convoluted...

It turns out that his mother was a princess, but also a spy. She probably had some connection with the retired emperor, which led to her untimely death. The white-haired man in front of him was one of the spies who followed Mo Chen's mother.

After Mo Chen's parents died, this traitor was responsible for teaching him martial arts, with the aim of taking revenge.

After clarifying everything, Doctor Mu shook his head and said firmly:

“I already know all your difficulties, but I can’t do that.”

The Divine Physician Mu's gaze was firm, and his eyes, weathered by time, held a clear and open-minded wisdom.

"Mo Chen has his pride. Even if he dies, he cannot be an ignorant and emotionless puppet emperor!"

After being rejected, the white-haired old man sneered:

"I don't expect to be able to persuade you. Since you won't listen, then I won't be polite..."

The two then started fighting!

Although Doctor Mu's martial arts skills were not as good as Mo Chen's, he was knowledgeable and well-versed in human acupoints. He and Ru Feng were evenly matched in a two-on-one fight, and he did not fall behind!

In an instant, the courtyard was filled with the glint of swords and the clash of weapons, leaving it in ruins...

Just as the battle was raging and the heavens and earth were collapsing—

People from the palace have arrived!

A large number of imperial guards surrounded the Regent's Palace. The leading guard outside used his internal energy to transmit his voice:

"The Regent Prince is secretly possessing the imperial robe, intending to rebel. He deserves to die a thousand deaths. I am ordered to search the Regent Prince's residence. All bystanders are strictly prohibited from resisting. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

The Divine Physician Mu glared at Mo Chen's master and angrily shouted:

"Shameless! You did this?"

The white-haired old man almost vomited blood:

Why would I falsely accuse him of secretly possessing a dragon robe? I wish I could have one tailor-made for him!

My head is throbbing with pain.

Who is that?
