Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1086 Trading

Zhuge Canglan's face froze, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he changed the subject with a hint of sarcasm: "Hmph, what are you going to do in a month? Are you really going to be a dog for the Huangfu family?"

"...As a dog?"

Jiang Xiaochuan sneered. Although his face was frighteningly pale, his fierce and wild aura made Zhuge Canglan look at him sideways. "It's still unclear who's whose dog! A month is enough for me to put together a team and compete with the Huangfu family!"

"No wonder you went to the boxing ring to seek death."

Zhuge Canglan curled his lips and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Jiang Xiaochuan joins the Huangfu family, it will inevitably bring a huge impact to the Zhuge family.

This thought sent a chill down his spine, and he couldn't help but scold: "Kid, remember what you said today! If I find out you're playing tricks in a month, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Having said that, how could Jiang Xiaochuan not understand Zhuge Canglan's thoughts.

With Zhuge Canglan's temper, if he didn't kill himself right now, it would already be a way of repaying his kindness in saving Mingyue.

But Jiang Xiaochuan doesn't think this debt of favor is worth this little.

I can be open and honest with Zhuge Mingyue, but it's another story with this old monster...

He rolled his eyes and pretended to be hesitant to speak. "Senior, I have something to say... I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

"Fuck away!"

Zhuge Mingyue was fine, and Zhuge Canglan also looked at Jiang Xiaochuan more favorably, and for the first time ever, he did not shut him up.

Jiang Xiaochuan was delighted, knowing this was a golden opportunity. He immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "You are so wise and powerful, could it be that you really didn't see that? Is there no one behind this... playing tricks?"

He didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was clear.

If we were to say who most wants Zhuge Mingyue to die, it would undoubtedly be the Huangfu family.

He and Zhuge Canglan both understood this tacitly.

What made Jiang Xiaochuan feel uneasy was Zhuge Canglan's attitude.

Last time, Zhuge Mingkong was almost "dealt with" by the masters of the Huangfu family on the road.

This time, it was a series of killing moves using both the Heart-Eroding Powder and the Heart-Eroding Gu, and all of them pointed to the Huangfu family.

But what about this old man?

There was no movement at all, not even a visit to scold his mother!

This is too abnormal and can only mean one thing: this old fox is playing a big game!

If we can figure out the strategy of this game and seize the initiative, not to mention escaping the Huangfu family's pursuit, it would not be impossible to bite back or even counterattack them!

"Hmph!" Zhuge Canglan snorted coldly, as if he had seen through Jiang Xiaochuan's little thoughts.

"You little bastard, stop playing tricks on me! Don't think you can get ahead of me just because you saved Yue'er twice!"

"What I have said is irreversible! No one from the Zhuge family is allowed to have anything to do with you! Do you want to use the power of the Zhuge family to deal with the Huangfu family? Give up this idea as soon as possible!"

"Senior, you are really wronging me!"

Jiang Xiaochuan immediately cried out in injustice, his expression stern yet revealing a self-confidence that was neither humble nor overbearing. "I'm not so shameless as to use the Zhuge family's help to prevent disaster. What I'm proposing is cooperation!"

"Cooperation?" Zhuge Canglan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him with suspicion in his eyes.

"Yes, cooperation!"

Jiang Xiaochuan said firmly, "The Huangfu family is a thorn in your side, and also my mortal enemy! As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! When it comes to bringing down the Huangfu family, we have the same goal and shared interests! Isn't this the best basis for cooperation?"

Zhuge Canglan was silent, and his old eyes, which had seen all the vicissitudes of life, swept back and forth over Jiang Xiaochuan several times.

Although this guy's identity is difficult to deal with, his ruthlessness and courage, as well as his skills as an alchemist...

Maybe...it can really be a risky move?

It seems like he is evaluating a very risky bet.

After a long while, Zhuge Canglan slowly spoke, his tone testing him, "...Alright! If you're truly capable, within a month, show me that you're qualified to challenge the Huangfu family, and not just empty talk! Then... maybe we'll actually have something to negotiate!"

"Senior, do we have a deal now?"

Jiang Xiaochuan immediately took action. Although he had not received a clear promise, he was well aware of the importance of the Zhuge family as a potential ally if he wanted to bring down the Huangfu family in a short period of time.

"Don't be too happy too soon, kid!"

Zhuge Canglan neither nodded nor shook his head. "With your limited skills, you rashly barged into the lair of Shenglong Fist Arena. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even see the sunrise tomorrow! Do you still want to live for another month?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Xiaochuan's face felt hot.

Indeed, this action was reckless!

If this old man hadn't taken action at the critical moment, I would have died there!

Shenglong Boxing Arena...Feng Ji!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jiang Xiaochuan's expression suddenly changed drastically!

He came out safely, but Feng Ji was still in the dangerous situation!

Jiang Xiaochuan was extremely anxious, but he also knew that rushing into the boxing ring alone at this time would be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.

In a moment of desperation, he suddenly raised his hands to Zhuge Canglan and pleaded, "Senior! I dare to ask you to help my friend escape from this predicament! No matter what the conditions, I, Jiang Xiaochuan, will accept them!"

"Oh?"

Zhuge Canglan looked at his eagerness to risk everything, and his eyes twitched unconsciously. After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you sure you want me to take action?"

"Sure!" Jiang Xiaochuan said without any hesitation.

Zhuge Canglan stared at him for two seconds with a complicated look in his eyes.

But then his usual indifference faded, and he waved his sleeve impatiently, as if to shoo away a fly: "That ignorant friend of yours is right outside the door! Get him out of here and stop getting in my way!"

"what?!"

Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned at first, then he was ecstatic!

In this situation, the possibility that Zhuge Canglan was joking was almost zero.

He subconsciously wanted to mobilize his perception to investigate, but suddenly found that Zhuge Canglan had set up an extremely tough restriction around him. His perception was like hitting a solid wall and he couldn't get through it at all!

"Thank you, senior!"

After saying thank you, Jiang Xiaochuan turned around, but just as he moved, he stopped abruptly.

I couldn't help but look back at Zhuge Mingyue who was still unconscious on the stone bed.

“Go away!

Zhuge Canglan said displeasedly, "Although I may not be as 'pure' as you are towards her, I won't leave my own bloodline unattended! Stop being so hypocritical!"

This old fox is quite vindictive!

Jiang Xiaochuan was choked, but he also knew that what Zhuge Canglan said was true, and staying any longer would only bring him trouble.

Without saying anything more, he rushed out of the stone chamber.

After taking a long breath, Zhuge Canglan stood alone outside the stone chamber, his eyes filled with thought.
