Chapter 863: Chapter 860: The City Lord’s Son_1
Hearing the thick-browed elder’s words, soone on the side interjected: “That’s right. If it weren’t for Liu Yunsheng, Zhang Huafeng wouldn’t count for anything. He relies on his master’s support, and his arrogance is all because of his master’s influence. A true case of ‘like master, like disciple’!”
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, understanding the situation. Zhang Huafeng was like this, so his master must not be much better; otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such a thing. If the boy had been soone with so capacity to resist, it would have been acceptable, but the boy had only just reached the age for cultivation, and they were willing to hurt him – such a person could not have co from a righteous background.
The thick-browed elder continued: “Now you know, right, young friend, what kind of people Zhang Huafeng and Liu Yunsheng are? Liu Yunsheng is even worse than Zhang Huafeng. He’s a madman, an unreasonable madman. The key is that Liu Yunsheng doesn’t ss with important people, but only those he can ss with. He’s a real coward, but if he ets soone he can ss with and they ss with him, he’ll do everything he can to get his way! Hasn’t the City Lord fallen into this situation as well?”
“Was the boy injured by Liu Yunsheng?” Yang Chen asked.
“Exactly. The key is that Liu Yunsheng could have killed the boy, but for so reason, he didn’t. I don’t know what kind of poison he gave Young Master Du. Every few days, Young Master Du would foam at the mouth in unbearable pain, and several tis he nearly died, narrowly escaping the Ghost Gate. The City Lord had to seek dical help everywhere, and no matter how many Dan dical experts he found, they could only manage to suppress the condition with dicine.” The thick-browed elder said helplessly.
Yang Chen blinked: “Aren’t there any Dan dical experts who can cure him?”
...
“Cure? If there was a cure, it would have been done a long ti ago. The dicines they make are only for temporary relief, and the longer it is delayed, the more critical the condition becos. That’s why the City Lord has taken Young Master Du out again to seek dical help. But looking at it now, I’m afraid the City Lord is planning to leave Liang City and Bai Qiong County for good. Our Bai Qiong County is just too small!” soone said.
Yang Chen had a general understanding of the situation and asked curiously: “Can the City Lord’s team follow him out of Liang City together? The whole Liang City is now under strict control by the Black Dragon Sect. The City Lord can leave without any problem, but it might be difficult for his entire team to leave at the sa ti.”
Hearing this question, the thick-browed elder was at a loss for words.
He thought for a while and said: “It’s hard to say, you know, it’s already against the rules for the Black Dragon Sect to requisition Liang City and force the City Lord to temporarily step down. The City Lord shouldn’t be prohibited from taking his own team out, right?”
“Who knows, the Black Dragon Sect’s brutality hasn’t been just a day or two!”
Listening to their words, Yang Chen ca to a conclusion.
That is, Du Zhuifeng intended to take his child and the team to seek dical help together, but it was still very risky. However, the risk was greatly reduced.
Yang Chen let out a silent sigh: “Let’s wait and see a bit longer.”
Yang Chen left the teahouse, and in the eyes of the thick-browed elder, he beca a strange person. However, when he thought of the ease with which he had acquired a Top-grade Spirit Stone, he imdiately grinned with delight.
Yang Chen arrived outside the teahouse, where Du Zhuifeng’s team had already gathered a large crowd.
Everyone sighed at Du Zhuifeng’s misfortune.
At this mont, Du Zhuifeng had managed to stabilize his child’s condition with a few doses of dicine. However, it was still clear that the boy’s face was waxen, and a faint black air was emitted. Obviously, the situation was far from good, and it was even a question of how many days the boy could survive.
That’s why Du Zhuifeng had a difficult expression on his face, and he said: “Everyone, please make way.”
With Du Zhuifeng’s prestige in Liang City, everyone imdiately made way when he asked them to.
Du Zhuifeng took a deep breath: “Let’s go, leave the city!”
Just as he was about to head toward the city gate, Du Zhuifeng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“City Lord, what’s wrong?” soone from his team asked.
Du Zhuifeng looked around, seemingly searching for soone, but the place he was looking at was empty. Hesitating for a mont, he quickly said: “I just rembered sothing; I’ll postpone our departure for a few days!”
“But the matter with Young Master …” A man who looked like an old steward was trying to say sothing.
“Even if we left the city and found a Dan dical expert who could solve his illness, it wouldn’t happen in one or two days. This matter relies on fate; I’ll deal with the forgotten matter first. Let’s go back.” Du Zhuifeng waved his hand.
The old steward had a puzzled look on his face. Just now, Du Zhuifeng was ready to leave the city in good spirits. He really didn’t know what Du Zhuifeng had suddenly thought of, causing him to change his mind.
Of course, doubt was doubt, and the old steward wouldn’t dare to ask anything.
In no ti at all, the team had left.
As for Yang Chen, he didn’t know when he had returned to his room at the inn.
After returning to the inn, Yang Chen greeted Jiang Caiying and went back to his room to cultivate. Ti passed, and it soon beca late at night…
In the quiet late night, Yang Chen pushed open the door and ca to the backyard of the inn.
“Senior should be here now!” Yang Chen bowed slightly.
Whoosh!
As Yang Chen’s voice fell, he only felt a gust of wind passing by, and in an instant, a figure appeared behind him in the dark of the night.
Yang Chen didn’t need to guess who it was, and respectfully turned to face him, saying: “Elder Du!”
The person was none other than the father of the boy Yang Chen had t during the day, who had been hard by Liu Yunsheng – the City Lord of Liang City, Du Zhuifeng.
Du Zhuifeng’s face was serious and stern as he said: “Indeed, I, Du, am a person with a good temper, but that doesn’t an I don’t have a temper! Today, I heard soone Sound Transmission, saying there’s a way to save my child, so I ca here with even a sliver of hope to give it a try. However, what I don’t want to see is a young lad telling he has profound Dan dical skills and can save my unconscious child that I’m holding in my arms!”
Du Zhuifeng had, of course, brought his child with him today.
However, the boy was still in a coma, and his complexion had not improved compared to the dayti.
Yang Chen could understand Du Zhuifeng’s feelings. If he had seen such an untrustworthy, so-called Dan dical expert today, he would have been furious too.
As Du Zhuifeng had said, the person who had caused him to suddenly change his mind and decide not to leave the city at noon today was none other than Yang Chen.
His identity was incredibly secret and could not be exposed at all. He had to be cautious in his actions as well.
So, Yang Chen didn’t dare to tell Du Zhuifeng face-to-face that he was a Dan dical expert. Instead, Yang Chen chose to use Sound Transmission to tell Du Zhuifeng that he was confident and asked him to co to the backyard of this inn at night.
