He Hentian's eyes lit up, "How do you know Duanmu Hong still has Forbidden-breaking Pills? I asked her last ti, and Duanmu Hong said she had none left."
"She can't lie to you?"
"This... she shouldn't... after all, she is an ancient Great Cultivator who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years..."
"So ancient Great Cultivators can't lie?"
"Now that you ntion it, there seems to be so truth to that. Should I ask Duanmu Hong again? Try to get so Forbidden-breaking Pills from her."
"Forget it," Gao Fei shook his head. "If you go now, she definitely won't pay any attention to you."
"I..." He Hentian was just about to speak when Gao Fei interrupted him.
All Gao Fei did was wave his hand and say, "If you want Forbidden-breaking Pills, then hurry up and look for Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine. As long as we have the Spiritual dicine, we'll have the upper hand, and then we'll have whatever we want, and Duanmu Hong will have to cooperate obediently."
"Going around in circles just to co back to the starting point," He Hentian sighed. "Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine huh, it has been extinct for a long ti, where can we find it?"
"Do your best," Gao Fei said. "You are the Crown Prince now, and I am a prince as well, our power has grown, and we can mobilize more resources to look for Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine."
Any item prefixed with "Defying Heavenly" ans it is extraordinary! It ans it's scarce! The search is very difficult! The ancestors often said that lucky individuals often find treasures at unexpected tis and places, and these people are referred to as "the favored ones of heaven."
Luck is such an elusive and mysterious thing, spanning from antiquity to the present, many sages have studied it, sadly to no avail.
Why do so people have incredible luck, succeed in everything they do, and have everything they want? While others have terrible luck, face endless mishaps, and live a life of daily frustration. How is this phenonon created? Probably no one can provide an answer.
The ancestors used to say, one's fate is determined at birth! Those who are not satisfied and choose to defy the heavens and change their fate are few and far between.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
A faint knocking on the door could be heard from outside.
"Co in," He Hentian called out.
"Creak!"
The tightly closed door was pushed open, and a guard strode in: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, Prince Dong, an old man has arrived outside, claiming repeatedly that he wants to et Prince Dong, and he cannot be driven away."
"An old man? To see ?" Gao Fei was taken aback. "What old man? What's his na?"
"I asked, but the old man wouldn't say," replied the guard. "He just keeps saying... his life was saved by Prince Dong, and Prince Dong owes him a huge debt of gratitude, and he has co to collect on that debt."
"Saved my life?" Gao Fei's heart stirred. "Could it be him?"
"Who is it?" He Hentian asked curiously.
"Not sure yet," Gao Fei shook his head, pushed his chair back, and stood up. "I'll go out and have a look." Gao Fei took big strides and walked out.
Driven by curiosity, He Hentian followed. He was very curious about who would want to see Gao Fei, and moreover, who would brazenly claim to be collecting a debt of gratitude?
When Gao Fei reached the front gate, he focused and saw, "Dongguo the Divine Doctor! It's really you! What's with this outfit? I almost didn't recognize you." Standing outside the big gate was a dirty old man with half of his hair white, the other half black, and his eyebrows also split in color between white and black, which made him look very comical. This old man was none other than the famous Dongguo Heixin.
"Ah! Gao Fei, I've finally seen you," Dongguo Heixin's eyes reddened, and he almost burst into tears, "Do you know? In order to see you, I've suffered so much, been through so many hardships, and was even close to dying..."
"What happened?" Gao Fei asked, puzzled.
"I..." Dongguo Heixin looked around warily, "There are too many eyes and ears here, let's go inside to talk..."
"Alright, please co in." Gao Fei led Dongguo Heixin towards the interior of the residence. At that mont, He Hentian stepped forward to inquire about Dongguo Heixin's identity. Gao Fei introduced him. Hearing that this beggar-like old man was the world's number one divine doctor, He Hentian was very surprised.
"Are you really the world's number one divine doctor?" He Hentian's eyes widened as he stared at Dongguo Heixin.
"Genuine and guaranteed."
"If you are the world's number one divine doctor, you should be highly esteed. Why... have you beco like this?" He Hentian asked in confusion.
Gao Fei turned his head to look over, puzzled in his heart as well. Back in the Divine Doctor Valley, how spirited Dongguo Heixin was, how imposing! Just months apart, how could he have beco so destitute? What on earth had happened?
"Alas!" Dongguo Heixin let out a long sigh with his gaze to the sky, "It's a long story."
Monts later, the three arrived in the hall where Gao Fei personally poured Dongguo Heixin a cup of hot tea, "Why don't you go take a bath? And maybe get so sleep? Then we can talk?" Seeing Dongguo Heixin's haggard look, Gao Fei thought it might be good for him to rest a bit.
"No! I don't want to rest! I'm not in the mood to rest right now!" Dongguo Heixin shook his head.
"Okay, let's talk about the matter," Gao Fei nodded, "There's no one else here, speak freely."
Dongguo Heixin lifted his head and looked directly at Gao Fei, "Gao Fei, I once saved your life, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
"How could I forget such a life-saving grace?" Gao Fei said with a smile, "I'll never forget it for as long as I live!"
"You're a good-hearted kid," Dongguo Heixin slightly relaxed, "I've offended soone. They're pursuing all over the world. I ran out of options and ca to you for help. You're the only one who can save now." After saying these words, Dongguo Heixin looked eagerly at Gao Fei, extrely anxious, for he feared Gao Fei would refuse to help.
"You've offended soone?" Gao Fei raised his eyebrows, "Who did you offend? Who has the power to push you into such a state?" After all, Dongguo Heixin was the world's number one divine doctor, and his own cultivation was not weak. There wouldn't be many who could pressure him this way.
"I've offended the Imperial City Defense Great General Xiahou Wei," Dongguo Heixin said through gritted teeth, "He really screwed over badly!"
"Xiahou Wei?" Gao Fei was stunned; indeed, a familiar face. Back when he went to the imperial city to find out the whereabouts of Bai Daqing, he had finally found a knowledgeable person who demanded a large number of athysts. Out of sheer helplessness, Gao Fei beca a kidnapper for a while, abducting several young lords and misses, including the daughter of Xiahou Wei... Gao Fei had already forgotten about that incident, but today, reminded by Dongguo Heixin, he recalled it all.
His impression of Xiahou Wei wasn't exceptional; nothing particularly likeable nor dislikable. The two of them were simply not from the sa world, and probably would not interact much in this lifeti.
"Oh, it's Xiahou Wei." He Hentian was also familiar with him since he was the Crown Prince and often had the opportunity to et with various nobles, "Xiahou Wei has a powerful command and high status, a remarkable figure indeed! So, the so-called world's number one divine doctor, how did you offend Xiahou Wei?"
"Not long ago, Xiahou Wei's wife ca to for treatnt, and I carelessly... I accidentally killed her," Dongguo Heixin recounted everything in detail, without holding back.
He Hentian: "…"
Gao Fei: "…"
Both were speechless.
