Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 155 - 156: Super Missy!

"Spill everything! Don’t you dare hide a single thing!" Wang Xiuhe bellowed, her gaze cold as she stared down Wang Ming.

"Sister Xue, it’s just a longsword I got from a junk collector. I’m just playing around with it," Wang Ming said, thinking fast as he spun the lie.

Suddenly, this sword doesn’t feel so simple. It’s like... it’s something beyond my reach.

"Where did you get it?" Jiang Xue asked, her sharp tone scaring Wang Ming out of his wits.

Jiang Xue’s gaze, however, remained exceedingly cold. She was clearly very interested in the weapon, as her stunning, beautiful eyes never left the sword for a moment.

"A cripple sold it to a junk collector, and I bought it off him..." Wang Ming’s heart skipped a beat, and he was careful not to mention Qin Long’s name.

After all, I can’t admit I snatched it from a disabled fool. That would be utterly classless.

"A cripple?" Hearing this, Jiang Xue’s brows furrowed instantly.

"Yes, a disabled man on crutches. I bought it for one thousand yuan," Wang Ming fabricated on the spot.

Jiang Xue scrutinized him with her cold, beautiful eyes. She figured he wouldn’t dare lie to her.

"Hand me the sword." Jiang Xue pointed to the white longsword in his hand. Wang Ming immediately complied.

Jiang Xue took the white longsword and carefully wiped the dust from it with a clean white handkerchief.

CLANG!

Jiang Xue gently flicked the blade, and it emitted a crisp, clear ring. Her pupils contracted sharply, and her expression changed slightly.

Wang Xiuhe and Wang Ming were frozen on the spot, staring at Jiang Xue in amazement. Wang Ming couldn’t help but gasp.

Could it be that Qin Long’s sword has some incredible origin? Or does he truly have a formidable background?

Jiang Xue waved the white longsword, her expression serious. She couldn’t confirm its true owner. Even she had never had the chance to see it for herself; she had only heard tales of the legendary Heaven-Splitting Punishment Sword. This one seemed to have been unused for many years, so it was probably not the fabled weapon she’d heard of.

"Did you really buy it from a cripple?" Jiang Xue asked, still looking at Wang Ming with doubt.

"I really did, Sister Xue," Wang Ming said, nodding emphatically with a serious expression. "I would never dare to deceive you."

Accepting his answer for the moment, Jiang Xue slowly continued, "Were there any robes with it?" She couldn’t suppress the doubt in her heart, knowing that the legendary sword and battle robe always appeared together.

She was referring, of course, to the Heaven-Splitting Punishment Sword and the Heavenly Dragon Battle Robe. The robe represented the leader of the Four War Venerables, while the Punishment Sword symbolized a judicial authority that superseded the law itself. They were the legendary symbols of supreme power and glory in Great Xia.

"No, Sister Xue, just the sword. I bought it on a whim to play with," Wang Ming said, nodding repeatedly after a moment of thought.

I’m starting to worry Qin Long really is someone extraordinary. If that’s true, my plans to take Tang Xuewu and the Tang Family Ancestral House will fall apart. So, regardless of whether he has a powerful background or not, it’s best not to mention him. I need to test the waters before I make my next move.

Jiang Xue’s icy gaze flicked over Wang Ming before she plunged the longsword into the ground and recorded a video of it.

I may not have seen it myself, but that doesn’t mean my superiors haven’t.

"Sister Xue, does this weapon have some kind of significant background?" Wang Ming asked with a smile, seeing her actions.

"Oh, I was mistaken. It’s just an ordinary sword," she said. "It’s not the one I remember."

Hearing this, Wang Ming immediately relaxed.

Afterward, Wang Xiuhe led Jiang Xue into the garden’s reception hall. The room was filled with natural rosewood furniture, creating the impression of a secluded paradise. Jiang Xue took a seat, sipped her tea, and then sat opposite Wang Xiuhe.

"Sister Wang, I’ve received reliable information that a truly extraordinary young lady has recently arrived in Jiangzhong," Jiang Xue said, her pretty face grave as she looked at Wang Xiuhe.

"An extraordinary young lady... How powerful is she?" Wang Xiuhe’s eyes widened as she pressed for more details.

"Extremely powerful! Even my own superior would only be qualified to serve her tea."

At these words, Wang Xiuhe drew a sharp breath, realizing this young lady indeed possessed overwhelming power. After all, Jiang Xue was already a major figure in Jiangzhong. For even her superior to be qualified only to serve this person tea... it was a testament to just how astonishing this young lady’s background was.

"Why would such a Phoenix descend upon a small city like Jiangzhong?" Wang Xiuhe asked, her expression serious as she took a deep breath.

"I’m not sure," Jiang Xue said, shaking her head helplessly. "Rumor has it she’s here to see an old friend, while others say it’s her fiancé. It’s all just speculation."

"Regardless, it means there is someone in Jiangzhong that this young lady cares about. I don’t need to spell out what that implies, do I?"

Wang Xiuhe instantly understood. The person this extraordinary young lady cares about must not be offended. To do so would spell our doom!

"Commander Jiang, could you perhaps give me a hint?" Wang Xiuhe asked respectfully, a broad smile on her face.

"The Wang Family needs to keep a low profile for a while. My superiors say a major storm may be coming to Jiangzhong."

"Considering our distant family ties, and the fact that the Wang Family is a newly-promoted first-tier family, I came to give you this warning personally. If you offend this young lady, not even my superior’s superior could protect the Wang Family."

Jiang Xue’s face was extremely grave, underscoring the seriousness of the situation.

"Alright, I understand..." Wang Xiuhe nodded repeatedly, wiping cold sweat from her brow.

She’s someone that even Commander Jiang’s superior’s superior wouldn’t dare to provoke. How could the Wang Family possibly risk it?

"Commander Jiang, should I start making preparations..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Xue cut her off mercilessly.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? Don’t drag me down with you! Even my superior’s superior doesn’t dare make a move, yet you want to investigate personally?"

"If you don’t want the Wang Family to be wiped out, keep a low profile and bide your time. React, don’t act," Jiang Xue scolded harshly. Wang Xiuhe trembled, not daring to utter another word.

"When dealing with someone like her, the only wise choice is to be on your best behavior. It’s impossible to know if this Phoenix is only resting in Jiangzhong temporarily or if she plans to unleash a great storm."

"Remember, you absolutely must not offend her. Keep a low profile." Seeing that Wang Xiuhe had fallen silent, Jiang Xue’s tone softened slightly.

"Yes, yes, Commander Jiang. I understand, I understand..." Wang Xiuhe gestured repeatedly in assurance.

With that, Jiang Xue turned and slowly walked away on her long legs. Staring into the distance, she sighed helplessly.

A Phoenix’s arrival brings either the destruction of heaven or the annihilation of earth. I can only hope Jiangzhong avoids such a calamity this time.

She knew that for a young lady of such extraordinary status, destroying an entire city would be a simple matter.
