Wei Xu told them his speculation.

Extreme surprise flashed across everyone’s eyes.

Not only were they surprised that they had finally found the person with burning internal energy, but they were also surprised by the Saintess’s agility.

Wei Liulang tugged at Ling Yun’s sleeve and whispered, “Is she really a puppet? Why do I feel that she’s smarter than me?”

“Is it difficult to be smarter than you?”

Wei Liulang was speechless.

However, he was indeed a little surprised.

There was no doubt that the Saintess was a puppet.

However, she was different from all the puppets he had seen.

Could it be that his method of refining puppets was wrong?

“It’s my first time too…”

Ling Yun frowned secretly.

Su Xiaoxiao’s heart ached.

She used to be a bad Saintess, but now she was her good puppet.

Such internal injuries were very difficult to treat.

Fortunately, there were many injured pills refined for her father-in-law back then. She would go to the cold storage of the pharmacy later and take them out for the Saintess to consume.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her head and whispered as if she was coaxing the three little ones, “Don’t be afraid. Ah, I’ll treat you later.”

The Saintess was dumbfounded.

After a while, she slowly rubbed her head against Su Xiaoxiao’s palm.

This was what the three little ones often did when they responded to Su Xiaoxiao touching their heads.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think much of it.

The others were dumbfounded.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the topic and whispered, “Sister-in-law said that the mastermind is in the City Lord Manor, and someone with burning internal energy happened to appear in the City Lord Manor. It shouldn’t be a coincidence, right?”

If this was a coincidence, it would not make sense.

Wei Ting nodded. “It’s either him or his accomplice. However, he’s a puppet and can only listen to orders, so his master is the real mastermind.”

Su Xiaoxiao stammered, “Um… Second Grandfather?”

“Currently, he’s the most suspicious.” Wei Ting paused and looked at the Palace Lord. “Mother, how much do you know about the City Lord’s biological uncle?”

Su Mo carried Wei Xiaobao over. Now, Xiaohu was sitting on the Palace Lord’s lap.

Xiaohu woke up too early and had not slept enough on the way. Now, he began to doze off again.

The Palace Lord carried Xiaohu into a sleeping position. Xiaohu fell asleep in no time.

Dahu and Erhu buried their heads in their food and were obedient.

Ling Yin guarded her surroundings to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

The Palace Lord thought for a moment and said, “Thousand Mountains Island has always been under the control of the Xiahou family. Xiahou Yi is the younger brother born of the old City Lord’s mother, he was younger than the old City Lord by five years. However, according to what I know, there’s a strange illness in the Xiahou family. Several generations of City Lords have died of that strange illness, including the old City Lord. Later on, Xiahou Yi also contracted this illness. The reason why he’s sitting in a wheelchair now is because of that strange illness.

“As for his personality, he didn’t have to inherit the position of City Lord since he was born and lived a carefree life. In the past, he looked quite gentle. After contracting the illness, his personality became much stranger, but it was understandable. After all, this illness was too torturous.

“To say that he’s the mastermind… I’m a little suspicious. Is there any point in a dying person plotting all this?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is he married?”

The Palace Lord shook his head. “No. He said that he didn’t want his descendants to suffer from this illness. Before his illness acted up, he didn’t dare to be lucky.”

Everyone couldn’t help but secretly look at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun drank his tea calmly.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Will every member of the Xiahou family definitely have an attack?”

The Palace Lord said, “There are also people who don’t suffer from it. It’s all based on luck. The length of lifespan after a relapse varies from person to person. The old City Lord pa.s.sed away in less than three years. Xiahou Yi has lasted for almost ten years, but his condition is getting worse every year. No one can guarantee how long he can last.”

Wei Liulang asked, “Is Granny Ghost helpless too?”

The Palace Lord sighed. “Granny Ghost, Elder Qiu… you should know that Elder Qiu isn’t from the island. Later on, the City Lord happened to hear of his medical skills. In order to keep him, he specially gave him the status of a guest elder of the City Lord Manor.”

Su Xiaoxiao had an epiphany. “No wonder Senior went around looking for people to challenge. He learned so many sect skills, but he wasn’t attacked by everyone.”

The Palace Lord nodded. “That’s right. The City Lord is still counting on him to treat the Xiahou family. Elder Qiu has contributed greatly to Xiahou Yi’s survival for so many years. However, Elder Qiu can only extend the lifespan of those who have the illness. He can’t completely cure them.”

Su Xiaoxiao had two doubts.

Firstly, what was the strange illness of the Xiahou family?
