My guess was right, Master, look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian leaned in to examine it, and seemed to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the dagger and sliced each of Zhou Qing’s other fingers in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bled, but stopped on their own soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, it’s clearly this index finger—something’s poisoned it, something neither of us knows about!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian agreed wholeheartedly, carefully re-examining it again—still perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you mean we cut off this finger?” Mo Xingjian looked at Yan Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao nodded vigorously: “Exactly. For safety, chop it off right at the base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But then Fourth Brother will be disabled,” Mo Xingjian returned the dagger to Yan Xiao, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao cried out: “Disabled is better than dead! He can still eat, drink, shit, sleep—no difference! Better than bleeding out like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Mo Xingjian gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, let’s begin!” Mo Xingjian stood up, stepping aside to clear space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao froze, staring at the dagger in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, when did it get here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, why don’t you do it?” Yan Xiao quickly offered the dagger with both hands: “I’m faint at the sight of blood, too soft-hearted—I can’t bring myself to do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian sighed and stepped back another step: “I’m the same. Body and hair are gifts from our parents. One day as master, forever as father—I’m his father now. Have you ever seen a father cut off his son’s finger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Master, if I do it, Fourth Brother will hate me for the rest of his life,” Yan Xiao’s voice cracked with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian said: “Who else will descend into hell if not me? Besides, you’re the one who spotted the problem and suggested the finger-cutting. Hurry up—Fourth Brother will die if we wait any longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no, Master, I’m dizzy—I’m fainting from blood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Yan Xiao staggered violently, barely catching himself on the table before falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger clattered to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, my hands are too weak to hold a blade—I can’t cut anymore. Call me after you’re done. Fourth Brother’s lost too much blood—I’ll boil this basin of blood so he can eat it and regain strength when he wakes. You call me then, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao grabbed the blood-filled copper basin and hurried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Yan Xiao flee like a coward, Mo Xingjian muttered curses, then reluctantly picked up the dagger and walked to the bedside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Zhou Qing, whose breath was barely there, and knew he couldn’t delay any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took hold of the index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth Brother, I’m sorry. I didn’t want this—but the blood won’t stop. This is the only way to save you. Remember, it was Third Brother’s idea—I’m just carrying it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Mo Xingjian exhaled deeply, gritted his teeth, and prepared to strike, he noticed the finger had stopped bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned closer, examining it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh, it really has!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good! Looks like my royal aura scared it into submission—smart move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian beamed and quickly wrapped the finger in bandages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the other four fingers he’d cut, he bundled them all up at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pulled out a vitality-rich elixir, pried open Zhou Qing’s mouth, and slipped it in—only then did he finally relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master! Master, is it done? Wait, you chopped off the whole hand?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yan Xiao crept in, he saw Zhou Qing’s entire right hand wrapped in bandages and gasped in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Fourth Brother was truly disabled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian rolled his eyes: “Take good care of him. I’m going out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mo Xingjian spoke, his face darkened with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d see who dared use such a hidden hand against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao’s face paled: “Master, maybe I should carry Fourth Brother to your quarters—I’m afraid I can’t protect him well, especially if someone tries again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian said nothing, lifted his foot slightly, and vanished from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—he won’t blame you when he wakes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian’s voice drifted down from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was sure his master was far away, Yan Xiao threw his head back and screamed curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt his head heavy as lead, his eyelids weighed down by a thousand catties. After great effort, he slowly pried them open a sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through blurred vision, he saw a familiar figure sitting by the bed, muttering something under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his daze, the voice sounded like cursing—terribly loud and crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing tried to move, but found his body powerless, aching as if crushed by boulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his lips slightly, but could only whisper: “Brother...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhou Qing’s voice, Yan Xiao spun around, rushing forward with wide, delighted eyes: “Fourth Brother! You’re awake! You scared the hell out of Third Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing wanted to smile to reassure him, but couldn’t even manage that simple motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only whisper: “Brother, I’m fine... sorry for worrying you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao’s expression turned awkward, guilt-ridden—he instinctively glanced at Zhou Qing’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his third brother’s evasive gaze, Zhou Qing’s heart lurched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what happened?” Zhou Qing asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao stammered, leaping up from the bed’s edge: “Fourth Brother, it’s not my fault! Master chopped it off! The weapon’s right here—I didn’t even touch it! I swear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing blinked hard, bit his tongue to stay awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chopped... what?” A terrible premonition struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao stayed silent, eyes fixed on Zhou Qing’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and slowly lifted his hand—staring at the thick, blood-stained bandage, he froze in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao hurriedly explained: “Your finger kept bleeding nonstop—I was worried, so I suggested Master cut just that one off. I never thought he’d go this far—he chopped off your whole hand...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s pupils shrank violently, his mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared again at the tightly wrapped fist, feeling the sharp, burning pain inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted in disbelief and terror, his breath came fast and shallow, his lips trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled in his eyes—and then a piercing scream tore through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, Senior [wdsr], for the 500 donation—thank you for your support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1138,"2026-06-19T20:13:53.139Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0bbe813bcc61a3700e4c763243bcfb5c91705d39e3ea30f0b2ebfa145b6468d4","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-71","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-69",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
