Chapter 192: 176 Lin An, you’re playing with my mind! (asking for monthly passes)_3 Chapter 192: 176 Lin An, you’re playing with my mind! (asking for monthly passes)_3 And the last one…
Doctor Zhang—”Holy shit! How many tis has this kid used the ‘Body Restoration Elixir’? Damn, I thought Caidai was buying the dicine from to stock up on inventory, but she was actually using it for her own daughter?”
???
Lin An’s eyes narrowed.
Bought from Doctor Zhang?
He quickly mobilized his spiritual energy to assist his brainpower, beginning to pull up all the information about this ‘Body Restoration Elixir’.
—The wizard who made this witchcraft secret elixir was “the rabbit with a carrot in its mouth” from the Tree Hole Organization. (66)
—Miao Miao said that this wizard is said to be a Feng Shui master in real life. (67)
In the end, Miao Miao also said that Chen Xinmi tore half her body to apply Suppression Witchcraft on her sister Chen Shuyun, and it was with this Body Restoration Elixir that she recovered.
That is to say…
Doctor Zhang impersonated an old man in a white coat, then sneaked into the Tree Hole Organization to sell dicine? No, according to the Witch Hunter Knights referring to Shenhou City as ‘Leek Garden,’ it seems he was using witches as guinea pigs for his own supplies.
Moreover, this dicine selling has been going on for a particularly long ti, at least traceable back to the period when Chen Shuyun turned back from a Sorcerer Zombie into a human.
Mr. Zhang is…
Really keeping a low profile.
Oh, it seems like each and every one of these Antler Witch Hunter Knights has sothing hidden up their sleeve, no wonder they were all so unconvinced at first about Professor Cao becoming the leader of Lu Jiao.
But it’s precisely this mindset of having their own agendas that gave him even more room to maneuver.
Lin An took note of this information and jogged over to Doctor Zhang, intending to ask for help.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang pushed him aside and stepped up to Doctor Zhang himself, “This little girl looks so pitiful, you must treat her with care.”
His Furnace Core sent ssages urgently to Doctor Zhang—Mr. Zhang, this child is my granddaughter, please help !
Doctor Zhang was clearly stunned by this news, giving Zhuang a look that said ‘are you kidding .’
Zhuang’s face was a rueful plea, while his Furnace Core cried out “my bad karma~”.
Many Witch-hunting Knights gathered around to see what was happening.
Just like being surrounded by a group of tigers baring their fangs, the Caidai Witch trembled like a quail, hugging her daughter even tighter.
“If you squeeze any harder, she truly won’t be able to breathe,” Doctor Zhang shook his head, gesturing the Caidai Witch to lay her daughter on the bed in the room.
The little girl’s face was pale, her skin so thin it seed one could clearly see the veins underneath.
After feeling the little girl’s wrist and observing her fingernails and eyelids, Doctor Zhang turned to Lin An, “They say you sought treatnt from a wizard? What did they have to say?”
Lin An shrugged, “They say that she, being what’s known as a ‘Sorcerer Zombie child,’ has grown up tainted by Sorcerer Phantom Demonic Qi, her illness being reinforced day by day by the Demonic Qi and Spirit World Aura.”
Doctor Zhang pursed his lips, noncommittal, then asked again, “She has a congenital heart defect, now doubly affected by Demonic Qi and Spiritual Energy. The heart is defective yet unusually strong. What do you think the impact of that will be?”
As he spoke, he added another hint, “This little girl has a Sorcerer’s Bloodline, just not yet awakened.”
Lin An’s eyes lit up, “The heart governs the five organs and six bowels, regulates the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, she will beco a very powerful witch!”
Doctor Zhang raised an eyebrow, “The premise is she lives that long.”
He gently let go of the little girl’s hand, looking at Lin An and Zhuang, “I can save her, it’s quite simple, really. Dig out the heart, then stimulate her body with dicine to grow a new, normal heart.”
“The only slightly tricky part is that when the heart is removed, all traces of Sorcerer Phantom’s aura must be completely cleaned out. With the Furnace’s help, it’s a piece of cake.”
Zhuang was montarily stunned, “Then save her, why the hell are you rambling on about it?”
Professor Cao had, at so point, already made his way over and said, “The body can be repaired, but the soul’s transformation is already fixed. Mr. Zhang ans that this surgery, which only a Witch Hunter Knight with a Furnace can perform, will result in a wizard of extraordinary talent.”
What an assessnt ‘extraordinary talent’ is.
Lu Tingyu was one.
The ‘Ghost Mask’ Witch, who appeared to be young, was another.
Zhuang fell silent, his gaze flickering. His thick, sturdy fists clenched with force as he struggled between his own offspring’s well-being and the righteousness of his faction.
In the end, he sighed deeply, looking at the little girl with sorrow, no longer able to maintain the insincere expression of detachnt, his eyelids glimring with the hint of tears.
But Lin An’s eyes lit up, “No, this sounds exactly like training with a ‘Wizard’s Crucible’!”
Zhuang paused, looking up to see Dr. Zhang and Professor Cao struggling to hold back laughs. He imdiately realized he had been overly concerned and was the butt of their joke.
However…
Wizard’s Crucible?
“No, no!” He shook his head vigorously, “That sounds like so bullshit Mr. Cao made up, and I won’t let her train in that. Lin An and Mr. Cao are just asking for a beating, but I don’t want to put her through the risk of becoming a dangerous little lab rat.”
What the!
So that’s what you were thinking!
Lin An and Professor Cao squinted at Zhuang, who swallowed hard and took a step back before stepping forward again, “What about it, if she’s going to learn, she should learn from … My kind of…”
He couldn’t continue. As a powerful Witch-hunting Knight, a scholar in the Supernatural World, he knew all too well that his granddaughter was just not suited for his own thods.
Zhuang sighed, “Alright, alright.”
He knew that if his granddaughter couldn’t beco a Witch Hunter Knight but instead beca an enemy of one, a powerful witch, Mr. Zhang would not co to her rescue.
He also knew Mr. Zhang was a sly old fox who would take advantage of this, and it would an trouble for him in the future.
He could already imagine his granddaughter becoming Professor Cao’s disciple, which essentially ant he would now be part of Mr. Cao’s faction.
Loyally aligned, like a devoted old ox.
But given Professor Cao’s circumstances, he certainly wouldn’t be able to teach many more students, so it would likely be Lin An taking on the role of teaching in his place, tutoring the little junior sister.
aning he’d have to escort and protect Lin An’s dubious Sorcerer’s Sanctuary.
What’s more, even if his mind couldn’t contrive further sches, he knew Mr. Zhang all too well; there were certainly more calculations behind this.
A bird with two stones was always the old fox’s way.
Life, oh life, is full of pitfalls.
I’m so miserable~~
I shouldn’t have been so enthusiastic just now, damn it!
