Chapter 612 - Silver Moon Empire conspiracy (2)

Chapter 612

(Unedited)

…

The miss conception of these people about Shin Jiao is that he is someone who is good at escaping. But from their investigation, they learned that on the battlefield he actually fled and thus survived. Hence to catch him they needed to surround this guy so that he has no avenue of escaping.

Behind these people is a middle-aged man who is standing with a relaxed demeanor.

The plan is to capture this doctor and extract the needed knowledge from him and then, make the real Qiong Ji act like the young doctor. Although the emperor and the crown prince already have contact with this young man, they are confident that with the skill of that person they have invited, the real Qiong Ji would surely look like the young doctor.

So, the plan that they have been hatching for more than a month will now be put into action tonight.

Shin Jiao looks at these people with a sneer on his face. How could he not know what they have been planning? How could he not hear those little whispers and their murmurings in the dark? Everything was bare for him to hear and see. However, he didn't take any action as this clan still has its use for him.

Suddenly one of the men moves forward and extended his hand towards Shin Jiao. As his hand touches Shin Jiao's shoulder a smirk appears on his smug-looking face.

"It's no use fighting against us doctor… Hehe… just obediently follow our orders and we might spare your little woman and her child. Hehe…"

When Shin Jiao heard this, his brows immediately knitted. He is sure that the mother and child in his care would not be in danger inside that house as the array he set up is strong enough to protect every nook and cranny of the house.

Looking at the smug look on that person, he felt something strange. And a fit of slight anger entered his heart. Though those two are of no relation to him, he grew fond of that young fellow.

With a swing of his hand that man which the man did not expect, a figure flew towards the wall and was smashed into a bloody pulp. Then with a swift movement, he grabs another man and threw him like it was nothing into the air. And this was followed by another and another. Soon all of those people surrounding Shin Jiao were thrown like rag dolls everywhere.

"It's your turn now, old man." Shin Jiao said while walking towards the already shivering middle-age elder of the Ji clan.

"Wa… Wa… Wait… It's… it's not my plan… I… I was… I was just here to make… to make sure that… that… that no one is hurt." The Ji clan elder said with a shaking voice.

When Shin Jiao heard this he showed a smirk on his handsome face.

"Where are the woman and the child?"

"Ah… they… Wait. If you follow the plan of the Ji clan we will release them." The middle-aged man suddenly said as if grabbing into some idea.

"Hehe… Do you think after I'm done, there will still be a Ji clan? Haha… How naïve… I repeat, where are they? Tell me and I will spare your whole clan. Hide it from me… tomorrow… there will be no Ji clan in this city." Shin Jiao said as he held the neck of that middle-aged man.

As he extended his domain inside the middle-aged man's body, he immediately showed horror on his face. The middle-aged man didn't know why but he felt despair, fear, and horror.

"They… they… they… they… are with… with Qiong Ji… He… he took them."

Shin Jiao release the guy and was about to turn when he seems to remember something and then asked.

"Hmm… How were caught?"

The middle-aged man was startled and began to talk with stuttering words. He then told Shin Jiao about the secret door of the courtyard that Qiong Ji would always use to escape this manor. On the wall of the house, there is a secret door that only Qiong Ji knew how to open. He used that door to take the woman and the child. They didn't know why the woman followed Qiong Ji, but they were able to take them easily.

When Shin Jiao heard this, he was a bit astonished at this young master of the Ji family. It seems that he is not that useless after all.

After hearing this, Shin Jiao suddenly disappear but left some words.

"Go and tell your clan leaders. I will visit them tonight for this offense. Obey and your clan will be spared, resist and you all will die."

After hearing these words, the middle-aged man immediately scuttles and runs towards the courtyard of the patriarch of the clan in a sorry manner.

…

Shin Jiao silently appears at the rooftop of that well-guarded courtyard and found that it seems the guards have been removed in that place.

Then he carefully listens to the people inside and heard a familiar voice.

"Miss Na… I've done so many wrongs in my life. But… but you… you are someone that I could not forget. Can… can I… Can I make amends for my wrongs? I can take care of you… and… and your son."

"I know that I have forced myself into you that day 3 years ago. But… but I was truly in love with you at that time. But you didn't give me a chance…"

Shin Jiao heard some pleading tone from the young man. While the woman he is talking to seems quiet. He can then hear some faint sound of crying from the little boy.

When Shin Jiao heard this, his eyes turned cold.

He quickly jumps from the roof and appears in front of the door of the house. He carefully sneaks inside and drew near the door.

"Sue Na… Please… I really, like you. I really do… if you… if you accept me, I will… I will give you all the best in this world. Look… I will become a real doctor soon! The clan has decided on it. And that… that impostor… That impostor will not be able to reject our proposal." Qiong Ji said as if trying to coax a child.

But no one answered him.

"Sue Na! I don't want to force myself into you again. I just want you to be my woman, is that too hard? You already have a child. Who would accept you?... Oh… Don't tell me… you… Do you like that impostor? Hahaha… He is nothing but a lowly impostor who lost his memories… he is a just some poor bastard without a future."

"Shut up! How dare you say that to Doctor Ji? He is nothing like you!" suddenly Sue Na shouted in anger.

"Haha… He is truly nothing like me. I am the young master of the Ji clan. And I… I will have everything he has… starting with you." shouted Qiong Ji.

With a crazed expression on his face, he suddenly pounces towards Sue Na who suddenly showed a horrified look on her face.

However, before Qiong Ji could approach her, he suddenly felt someone grabbing the back of his neck and pulling him up from the ground.

"Arrgghh… Who… who are you?" Qiong Ji shouted in panic.

But he found himself unable to move as his body suddenly turned paralyzed. He felt that something has invaded his whole body and that every fiber of his muscle is being restrained.

"Me… I am someone whom you should have never offended." Shin Jiao said as he slowly tightens his grip.

"Wait… don't…" Sue Na's weak voice suddenly said.

"Please… Doctor Ji. Thank you for coming, for us… I know I don't have the right to ask you anything, just this once. Please... please spare his life."

Shin Jiao squinted and with a casual move, he threw the scoundrel to the wall and landed with a deep groan. He then walked towards the scared little guy and carefully picks him up from his mother's side.

"Are you scared? Uncle Ji is here, so don't be scared anymore, okay?" Shin Jiao said as he tried to appease the crying little boy.

"*Sob *sob… Uncle Doctor Ji… that bad man wants to hurt me and my mother. He is really scary. I like you the most uncle doctor Ji…" the boy said as he hugs Shin Jiao.

"It's okay now…" he said while patting the little boy's back.

"I'm sorry… I was a bit neglectful and did not discover that secret door beforehand." Shin Jiao said to the weak-looking woman.

"Let's go back."

The three walked out of the courtyard leaving the already unconscious Qiong Ji sprawled on the ground.

After returning to the courtyard again, he saw that the gate is already broken, but the main door is still intact. After the three enters, he let the mother and child sleep first then fixes the array outside the house. This time he made sure that there are no other secret passages.

After that, he went out and disappears through the darkness.

…

Meanwhile, inside a courtyard in the main hall of the Ji clan, the elders and the leaders have already converged and began to discuss their next action.

From what they have heard from the elder that Shin Jiao sent to them, they have learned that the doctor might be a martial cultivator and a very powerful one at that. But some of them still did not believe the story of that elder.

"So what is our next plan clan head?" asked one of the clan elders in the group.

The hall turned silent as everyone's attention in on the patriarch who is currently in deep thinking.

Suddenly, the door in the hall, creaked open as Shin Jiao's figure walked casually inside. When the people in the hall saw him appearing in front of them, they were all flabbergasted. This is because everyone knew that upon entering the hall, there are at least around 50 guards outside.

How could he have reached this place just like that? They didn't even hear any fighting.

And what flabbergasted everyone is the scene they could see behind that opened door. That is because the guards are all sprawled on the ground, unmoving. No one knew if they are alive or already dead.
