Chapter 441 - Visiting Again (1/2)

Xiao Mo was extremely embarrassed, but because his Master and other disciples were present, all he could do was to watch Ji Zhuoye leave.

Initially, he wanted to do something good for the Young Master, but he didn’t expect this outcome. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Mo admitted his guilt and ran towards the gate of the palace.

Xia Yuzhi couldn’t help but frown. “I am not concealing his illness, nor am I reluctant for him to be cured, but hundreds of pharmacists and alchemists have already diagnosed Xiaochan, and they all said that his veins were blocked. No one had ever said that his pulse was weak, so how can I believe that little friend’s words?”

Ji Yufei said, “My grandfather has personally diagnosed Xiaochan’s pulse condition. These pills were also made by his esteemed self. Throughout the entire South Continent, who else has a deeper knowledge of alchemy than my grandfather?”

Hearing this, Xia Yuzhi nodded and answered, “You are right, I naturally believe in Alchemist Ji.”

The moment they left the palace, Yan Tianhen pouted and showed displeasure in every word he said, “That family, why won’t they accept this fact? They themselves don’t even know what kind of illness he has, so how can he continue taking the pill?”

Lin Xuanzhi rubbed Yan Tianhen’s head. “They don’t know what is good for them and didn’t believe in Ah Hen. If there are any consequences, then it is their own problem.”

With all the pent-up anger in his belly, Yan Tianhen exclaimed, “I don’t want to come here ever again, and that Ji Yufei is really annoying.”

“Yeah, he has always been annoying.” Zhuoye touched his chin and continued, “However, I heard that he has been pursuing the Young Palace Master of Jade Cicada Palace. Just looking at the Young Palace Master’s reaction though, he probably doesn’t have much of a chance.”

Succumbing to his urge to gossip, Yan Tianhen said, “He likes Xia Xiaochan? Xia Xiaochan does look very cute, but unfortunately he is a short-lived one. It won’t be long before Ji Yufei will be very sad.”

“He won’t go so far as to be sad.” Zhuoye sneered and said, “In the past, Ji Yufei had once pursued the son of an aristocratic clan, the Baili family. It was a shame that he was not up to the other party’s standard. Due to the unbearable pestering, the Baili person even gave up being in the quota of Heavenly Law Sect and went to Sky Peak Sect to seek Tao. It is fine if Ji Yufei was more sincere, but when the second young master of the Baili family asked why he was pursuing him. Ji Yufei said that it was because the two families are well-matched, so if they were to join forces, it would be good for fame and fortune.”

In the name of fame and fortune, yet ironically there was no mention of love.

Yan Tianhen asked, “Is he stupid? If two people were to be together, shouldn’t love be the most important thing?”

“In this world, not everyone gives meaning to the word ‘love’,” Lin Xuanzhi said lightly.

Yan Tianhen pondered for a moment and let out a sigh. “Anyway, our teleportation array is probably gone, and the transportation talisman is probably also gone. That Palace Master Xia’s dark expression looked so scary.”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled soothingly. “Then we don’t have to pay them any more attention.”

Just when the three of them had walked a certain distance away from Jade Cicada Palace, Xiao Mo came running from behind and shouted, “The three of you, stop! Please wait a moment.”

After Xiao Mo caught up, Yan Tianhen looked at him in a puzzled way. “Are you looking for us? Is there anything else?”

Xiao Mo clasped his hands and apologized to them by admitting his guilt. Then, he told them somewhat helplessly, “Everyone, you have been much offended in the Jade Cicada Palace just now, so please let me explain. Ever since three months ago, Xiaochan suddenly lost his appetite. My master has invited no less than a hundred experts to come treat Xiaochan. The causes they mentioned were all rather similar, as they all said it was because the veins were blocked, which led to a loss of appetite. That was why when the little friend suddenly said that his pulse condition was weak and his Dantian Qi Sea was shrinking earlier, Master naturally didn’t believe it.”

Yan Tianhen frowned, “I am certain that when I searched Xiaochan with my spiritual Qi, there was not any obstruction in the measurable points of his pulse. As for why other people’s findings were different from mine, I don’t know.”

Xiao Mo clasped his hand again to plead guilty and said, “Please return once more with me. I want you to make sure again.”

At this time, a fluffy bird flew onto Yan Tianhen’s shoulder, staring at Xiao Mo intimidatingly, with a pair of golden-red eyes.

Xiao Mo, “…..”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “We can go back, but this time we have to take the bird with us.”

Xiao Mo’s face showed a baffled look. Upon seeing this, Lin Xuanzhi said, “If this is the case, then we will leave first.”

Xiao Mo watched hesitantly as they left again.

When they reached a safe place, Feng Jingyu cleared his throat and said, “That Young Palace Master is a Jade Cicada King. It seems that he is probably only 100 years old, but for the Jade Cicada Clan, it is already considered as a long lifespan.”

“Ah?” Yan Tianhen was stunned for a moment and asked, “How do you know this?”

Feng Jingyu said with pride, “This king knows everything in the world. Generally speaking, the lifespan of the Jade Cicada Clan is only ten years at most. As for the Jade Cicada King, who is royalty, his natural lifespan is longer, which can reach 100 years. But after one hundred years, if he doesn’t get any big fortune, he will become what he is today. First, he can’t eat, then his pulse will be weak, and the Dantian Qi Sea will shrink. When ordinary people diagnose and treat them, they will not be able to detect it and will think that it’s a blockage of the veins.”

Yan Tianhen asked in confusion, “But why can I detect it?”
