Chapter 288 The Dilemma Lies in the Taoist Priest

Mu Yu was speechless. He said, "Then I will use all my strength to send you away safely."

Tao Yanyan sneered: "Then what? Will you try to capture me again? Let my children see me being captured again, leaving a shadow in their hearts?"

Mu Yu stood up in fright: "What? You are already married and have children?" You are only seventeen years old!

Tao Yanyan looked at him speechlessly: "It seems that you have really been oblivious to what is happening outside the window in the past seventeen years." Otherwise, how could you not even know what your own son is doing?

Tao Yanyan had no choice but to tell him her identity.

Only then did Mu Yu realize that his eldest son had caused such a big trouble and had even kidnapped the concubine of the Emperor of the Great Zhou!

"Jiaojiao, your elder brother is also a miserable man. He was seriously injured when he was young, and his heart meridian was damaged. He still practiced martial arts diligently. It is not easy for him to achieve today's achievements. I hope you can forgive his recklessness this time. I will have a good talk with him and ask him to give up using your blood as medicine. Let's think of other ways to cure his illness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from outside the door: "My good father really abandons me as always!"

The Demon Lord walked in, obviously having heard what they had said before.

"My father abandoned me many years ago and took the Gu mother and daughter away, causing my mother to vent her anger and beat me. Now I have finally found a way to save my life, but you want to send away the person who can save me, tearing away my only hope. I really want to ask, am I your biological son? Why do you abandon me every time? Why?"

He was disappointed and angry, questioning the person in front of him.

"Xingchuan, I owe a lot to the Gu family. Jiaojiao lost her mother when she was young. Fortunately, the Tao family raised her as their own daughter, and that's how she is today. Let's think of a way to cure your illness. You and I are also close relatives. Can my blood be used as medicine for you?"

The Demon Lord shook his head: "If I could, I would have used your blood a long time ago. The Taoist priest said that your blood doesn't match, and your mother's blood doesn't match either. I even asked the Taoist priest to check the blood of my clan brothers, and it didn't work."

Tao Yanyan was very curious: "What does he think?"

The Demon Lord said: "The Taoist priest knows how to tell fortunes, and the hexagrams show it."

Tao Yanyan: "..."

Why is it so similar to the routine of Taoist Xuanqing from Mount Qingcheng?

She narrowed her eyes: "Have you never suspected that this Taoist priest is talking nonsense? I have shown you before that blood test is nonsense, and using human blood as medicine is also nonsense."

The Demon Lord was unmoved: "Anyway, I will arrange for blood collection in the next few days. I will have someone prepare more nourishing medicinal food for you. As long as your blood is refined into elixirs and it is effective and cures my illness, I will transfer half of my assets to you as a thank you."

Tao Yanyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who cares about your assets? My husband has plenty of assets!"

The Demon Lord sneered, "Him? He is surrounded by beauties in his palace, and you are still thinking about him? Do you think that if you go back, the royal family will still accept you? Instead of going back, why don't you live well here and own half of the Demon Sect? I will find you a live-in husband, and wouldn't it be better for you to be together for the rest of your life?"

Tao Yanyan: "..."

His Majesty would be so angry that he would die if he knew you were thinking this!

Thinking that He Linzhang had also brought people to the island, and no one knew where they were hiding, and whether they were in danger, Tao Yanyan became more and more angry, and glared at the Demon Lord several times: "Since you trust that Taoist priest so much and don't believe what I say, I can't do anything. From today on, I don't want to see you. Go away quickly, the farther away from me the better, go away quickly."

As he spoke, he tried to push the person, but he was too weak and no matter how hard he tried, the person didn't move at all.

Tao Yanyan had no place to vent her anger, so she glanced at Mu Yu who was standing on the side and said, "At least take care of your son. Take him away quickly. It's annoying to see him like that!"

Mu Yu touched his nose. To be honest, he didn’t want to leave so soon. He hadn’t talked to the obedient Jiaojiao for any longer!

It was obvious that her little daughter was furious. She didn't dare to offend anyone too deeply at once, so she pushed Mu Xingchuan and said, "Let's go. Let your sister be alone. I just have something to say to you."

The Demon Lord knew that his unreliable father still wanted to persuade him and he didn't need to listen, but seeing that the little girl was really furious, he had to leave the room as she wished.

When we got to the door, he didn't forget to tease: "You can tell me anytime what kind of person you like. Even if you find someone who looks like the Great Zhou Emperor, it's not impossible."

Tao Yanyan: "..."

You're still trying to get a stand-in for me. You must have nothing to do and are just bored!

He Linzhang, who didn't know that his elder brother-in-law was going to find a groom for the young concubine, quickly met up with his shadow guards to discuss the rescue.

"Your Majesty, the guards on Penglai Island are not very strict, because they think that outsiders cannot enter, so they don't guard it strictly. But the Penglai Palace where the Demon Lord is located is not easy to enter. Empress Tao was taken in on the first day, and no one knows where she lives. It is not easy to contact her."

He Linzhang pinched his brows and said, "For the time being, keep your troops in place. Find out what's going on on the island and the relationships between all parties. Then wait for an opportunity to act."

At night, Tao Yanyan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking about the current predicament, which ultimately fell on the Taoist priest.

The reason why he was captured was because the Taoist priest said that his blood could be used as medicine to save people. Everything was just empty talk by the Taoist priest. The Demon Lord was anxious to cure the disease, so he believed it. In order to make the Demon Lord give up this method, he must first expose the Taoist priest's true face and prove that what he said was all lies.

Tao Yanyan was overwhelmed and fell asleep in a daze.

Upon hearing that someone who could be used as medicine had been caught, the Taoist's eyes darkened. He began to prepare the materials for alchemy and sent people to urge the Demon Lord to bring the person over as soon as possible.

The Demon Lord was actually hesitant in his heart. Tao Yanyan looked too delicate, and he really couldn't bear to cut her and make her bleed.

So after seeing the Taoist priest, the Demon Lord made a request: "Taoist priest, I hope you can take less blood from her body. Also, the wound must be small. Prepare the medicine to stop the bleeding. Don't let her feel too much pain."

The Taoist priest readily agreed, but there was a cunning look in his eyes that no one could understand.

Tao Yanyan was taken to a courtyard on the third day after entering Penglai Palace. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the scent of Chinese herbal medicine in the air.

She held a golden hairpin tightly in her hand, thinking that it could be used as a weapon if there was any danger.

The door opened and the people in the room came out, and Tao Yanyan was stunned.
