Jun Zhan Tian could not help but feel apprehensive as he observed the discouraging look on Sir Fang’s face. He asked,
Old Fang, how is it?
Fang Hui Sheng looked at Jun Mo Xie with pity. He shook his head and sighed,
His life is in no danger, but as for the rest, they are in a horrible state.
Horrible?
Grandpa Jun was shocked.
How horrible?
Stagnant meridians, with faint signs of overexertion, his internal organs are also damaged, this…
he sighed before raising his head,
Did the Third Young Master undergo any intense strenuous exercise just before this? In addition, the intensity involved is one that exceeds what a person’s body could handle!
Jun Zhan Tian felt a sense of foreboding as he replied,
Indeed, he did that for about seven days. In fact, just a day before yesterday…
There’s the problem…
Fang Huisheng retracted his hands, his eyebrows wrinkling.
The human body can sometimes be deficient, and Third Young Master’s body was originally weak, to begin with. With a weak body, even if one has the perseverance to endure a high-intensity physical training, how could the muscles and veins handle it? If it was only this hidden injury, all he needed to do was to stop training. With the proper lifestyle, he could be cured. However, right now, his chest suffered from an impact of over a hundred jin in strength due to the sword wound and the kicks from the assassins, which caused his internal organs to be damaged. The injury to his internal organs also aggravated the hidden injury from his training. Now that these two injuries have overlapped, how could he manage? That’s not all. The worst part was that after being stabbed by the sword, his wound was not wrapped up in time, leading to the great loss of blood. For him to be alive right now is already a blessing…
He shook his head and continued,
After such an incident, for Third Young Master to successfully preserve his life and returned to the state of an ordinary person is something to be highly grateful for. Also, if he ever partakes in any intense activities in the future, he would suffer from nausea and painful agony which could endanger his life.
Jun Zhan Tian’s face turned blank and pale.
It is that bad? Does the Divine Doctor have any methods to restore him? Is there absolutely no hope for him at all?
Fang Hui Sheng gave a sigh and said,
I can only tell you the same thing. The human body is sometimes deficient. Even though I am regarded as the Divine Doctor, I don’t have divine skills. Now that all these injuries have come together, I fear that even an immortal could do anything about it. Old Jun, you wish for your grandson to become a dragon, but that is what everyone wishes as well. No matter how earnest your desires are, one must know one’s limitations.
As he spoke, he began writing down a prescription.
Follow this recipe as stated and prepare it for him three times a day. Prepare it carefully and he might recover a bit. As for his Xuan Qi cultivation, I believe that is no longer an option.
Grandpa Jun was stunned. Even Tang Yuan who was standing beside had a stunned expression.
However, who dares to doubt the words of the Divine Doctor? Who would have the qualifications to doubt him?
Jun Zhan Tian forced himself to smile, his face darkened,
If he can preserve his life without suffering from any disability and live on like an ordinary person, that is good enough. As for Xuan Qi… there are many other people within the Tian Xiang Kingdom that have no knowledge of Xuan Qi, however, they could still contribute.
Despite saying that, the disappointment in Grandpa Jun’s voice was clear, even to Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan tried to comfort him,
That is true. Just look at our Imperial Court’s Grand Preceptor, isn’t he just a frail scholar? However, he could still dominate the Imperial Court, standing below one and above millions.
Tang Yuan’s words had good intentions. However, listening to those words caused Grandpa Jun to become furious, thinking that Fatty was indirectly scolding him. Back then, Grand Preceptor Li’s Xuan Qi cultivation was personally destroyed by Jun Zhan Tian. That incident was the root cause of the enmity between these two families, a feud that could never be resolved…
Get out!
Grandpa Jun roared out in anger.
Grandpa Jun’s roar caused Fatty Tang to tremble and ran off, nearly shtting himself as he did. Even then, he did not comprehend what made Grandpa Jun so mad. He was clearly only trying to support Grandpa Jun’s words.
Fang Hui Sheng sighed. He packed up his chest preparing to leave. Grandpa Jun arranged for a few bodyguards to send him back while he himself sat down beside his grandson’s bed.
His actions caused the Divine Doctor Fang to feel somewhat displeased,
What a huge difference in treatment before I came and after!
When Grandpa Jun turned around, he found Jun Mo Xie smiling. He sighed and said angrily,
What are you smiling at you brat? This senior spent so much effort to invite an expert tracker to protect you. Instead, you decided to be a smart aleck and used some methods to get rid of him. Now, look at you! Tell me… what should I say to you now! Sigh!
Grandpa Jun shook his head and sighed. He felt that his lifetime’s worth of sighs had all been used up today.
Grandpa, please be at ease,
Watching Jun Zhan Tian’s face frowning due to concern, Jun Mo Xie felt his heart turning warm and could not bear to hide it from him any longer.
The diagnosis from Sir Fang earlier was simply a result of me tampering with my pulse. Honestly, the state of my body is nowhere near as bad as what he had described.
Having said that, he activated his body’s Xuan skill and his sickly face was suddenly replaced with a radiant complexion.
Eh?
Jun Zhan Tian was startled and became elated. However, before the expression of ecstasy could spread over his entire face, a look of doubt appeared, followed by a look of realization.
I want to hear all your reasons! I want to hear every single one, and even… your plans,
Jun Zhan Tian’s gaze turned sharp as he stared at Jun Mo Xie, as though he was trying to examine this grandson of his and what he was thinking of doing. Jun Zhan Tian immediately turned around and shouted.
From this day onwards, I forbid anything that has ears to enter within thirty zhangs (91.2 m) from this room! Anyone disobeys, I will kill without mercy!
A sound of affirmation came from the outside. Following which the sounds
shua shua
could be heard in succession.
In just a while, the outside had turned silent, not a sound could be heard.
Hiding the truth from the Imperial Doctor meant fooling the Emperor! Thus, Jun Zhan Tian was being extremely careful!
Jun Mo Xie who had been lying flat on the bed suddenly sat up. Wearing only his pyjamas, he tightened his cloth belt and walked off the bed. He sat down on the chair in the room, his faced Jun Zhan Tian who was seated in front of him.
This action from him caused Grandpa Jun to become surprised. It would appear that Jun Moxie’s body has indeed fully recovered. This grandson of his had some good techniques. He even managed to fool the great Divine Doctor Fang!
However, Grandpa Jun’s face turned solemn. He could feel that what Jun Mo Xie planned to say would inevitably be something very serious. It might be something that he had no desire to listen to; it could even be something ridiculous! Thus, Grandpa Jun planned to prevent any possible leakage in information. As of now, the only one that could eavesdrop on them without being detected by Grandpa Jun would be the legendary Supreme Divine Xuan expert.
Judging by how long his grandson had hidden his competencies and how he had faked his injuries, Grandpa Jun could sniff out the unusual atmosphere that was brewing. He felt that he could even guess what it was that his grandson was going to say, causing him to become particularly serious.
As of now, our Jun Family is in a really dangerous spot! Thus, I had no choice but to step up. Otherwise, I would have followed my original plans of living the rest of my life as a prodigal debauchee!
Jun Mo Xie spoke. His first move was to ‘slap’ himself in the face.
Unfortunately, I am now the only one left in the third generation of the Jun Family. Even if I don’t wish to enter the stage, I no longer have that choice. As such, I must not allow myself to garner the attention of the great families or their precautionary measures!
This much I can comprehend. It is also one which I have already inferred,
Grandpa Jun stroked his beard,
On this point alone, your action of faking your injuries has been very successful. I am also very pleased with that.
In addition, there was the previous action that grandpa took. In one night, you shocked all the great families within the capital city. But by doing so, our Jun Family’s forces have been revealed. Regardless of whether it is your power in the Court or the military or even in terms of hidden forces, they are all much too powerful. Such a kind of power is not something that the Imperial Family would tolerate. Also, your actions were tantamount to a great crime! However, it just so happened that your actions complemented His Majesty’s plans, leading to His Majesty yielding on that in order to complete his plans to reshuffle the balance of power within the capital. Secondly, His Majesty was probably taking into account of the past friendship between you two and your countless contributions to the Kingdom. Thirdly, grandpa is already old while Third Uncle is paralyzed. As for this grandson of yours, I am but a worthless debauchee. All this allowed His Majesty to not feel weary of you.
However, this is something that could only happen once and never again. We are already pushing our luck with this, the next time we may not be so lucky! If His Majesty were to find out that grandson’s debauchery ways are but an act; or if His Majesty were to find out that the news of my heavy injuries was fake, then the suspicion within his heart would increase. This would cause a calamity to descend upon our Jun Family! This is the biggest reason for me to fake my injuries!
