Translator: 549690339
The Zhou Family Mansion was heavily guarded, with gatekeepers who were masters at the third level of the Spirit Martial Realm. This caused Yang Chen to feel the strength of the Zhou Family. However, he was not afraid at all, leading Gu Mingyue straight to the Zhou Family.
“Who are you, and what are you doing here? This is the Zhou Family’s territory!” The gatekeeper guard scolded.
Without saying anything, Yang Chen took out the reward notice, which left the two guards looking at each other: “You are a Dan Medical practitioner?”
“Exactly.” Yang Chen said straightforwardly.
This led to the two guards exchanging glances, as they found it hard to believe that there could be such a young Dan Medical expert in the world, but since the matter of treating the young lady of the Zhou Family was crucial, they didn’t dare to be vague. One of them immediately said, “Please follow me, young friend. I’ll take you to meet Elder Zhou Yuan, who is in charge of our Zhou Family!”
Yang Chen didn’t say much and went into the Zhou Family mansion along with Gu Mingyue.
This Zhou family mansion was indeed grand, even surpassing the scale of the City Lord’s Mansion in Jin Cheng, giving Yang Chen a sense of awe.
There were many experts within, and at a glance, Yang Chen could see at least a dozen masters at the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Martial Realm.
This was only what he managed to see while passing through, indicating the deep foundation of the Zhou Family, which was difficult to estimate.
“The strength of MO City should be much stronger than Liaocheng.” Yang Chen walked in with his hands behind his back, not saying anything.
The guard led Yang Chen around a few turns and finally arrived at a courtyard.
“Elder Zhou Yuan, this young friend has come to treat the young lady after taking down the reward notice.” The guard respectfully shouted towards the courtyard.
It didn’t take long for the courtyard door to open, and an old man with a long beard walked out. He glanced at Yang Chen and then waved his hand to the guard, “You can leave first.”
Upon looking at Elder Zhou Yuan, Yang Chen, who had received the transmission from Rainbow, realized that Elder Zhou Yuan’s Martial Arts Cultivation was actually that of a half-step at the Origin Martial Realm. This made Yang Chen squint slightly. If an elder who was just in charge of managing the Zhou Family had such strength, the powerful ones higher up would be even more difficult to estimate.
As Yang Chen sized up Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan was also watching him, saying gently, “May I ask your name, young friend?”
“Yang Chen!” Yang Chen replied.
“Are you a Dan Medical practitioner, Yang Chen?” Zhou Yuan asked without hesitation.
“Exactly.” Yang Chen said.
Zhou Yuan suddenly snorted coldly and shouted angrily, “Yang Chen, do you really think our Zhou Family is a place for you to mess around? You claim to be a Dan Medical expert? Do you think you can casually use this identity to show off? I’ll let you off because you’re young and inexperienced, but leave quickly or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
How could Zhou Yuan not be angry?
He was joking, right? Every Dan Medical expert he had encountered was old and aged, having lived at least several decades if not a century.
Even so, those who came to treat his daughter all failed, not a single success, let alone a youngster like Yang Chen. He had seen young Dan Medical experts before, but he didn’t think MO City would have such a young one!
This kid might not even know what a Dan Medical expert is.
Yang Chen was surprised when he saw Zhou Yuan get angry, followed by a chuckle.
Zhou Yuan’s sudden anger caught him off guard, but he wasn’t surprised.
Compared to others, Zhou Yuan was relatively good-natured. Considering that he even let Yang Chen go when he thought he was just messing around, Zhou Yuan was obviously not a ruthless person.
With this thought, Yang Chen shook his head, and then, his entire aura burst out suddenly. With a “boom,” his Spirit Martial Realm Third Layer cultivation was released, and he slowly said, “Senior Zhou, I didn’t come here to play games today. Secondly, I hope you don’t question my sincerity. I came here with the intention to take the reward notice seriously!”
Yang Chen’s sudden burst of Martial Arts Cultivation caught Zhou Yuan off guard.
Zhou Yuan squinted his eyes in astonishment and exclaimed, “Spirit Martial Realm Third Layer!”
This…
He had seen numerous geniuses, but very few were as young as Yang Chen, who had reached the third layer of the Spirit Martial Realm at the age of 14 or
Only the personally taught inner disciples of those sects were comparable to him.
What he didn’t know was that Yang Chen had concealed his true Martial Arts Cultivation, just to avoid being too astonishing.
Nevertheless, this was enough to make Zhou Yuan awe-struck. At least Yang Chen’s cultivation level indicated that he was not as simple as an inexperienced youngster. With this in mind, Zhou Yuan’s tone became a lot more courteous, “Young friend, are you really a Dan Medical expert?”
“Senior, sometimes actions speak louder than words,” Yang Chen replied gently, not showing any arrogance, and his words were filled with respect. “I hope you can give me a chance.”
“It’s true that actions speak louder than words. I’ll trust you this time, Yang Chen. Please, follow me,” Zhou Yuan contemplated for a moment, and then, believing Yang Chen’s words to some extent, walked ahead, leading Yang Chen.
Seeing Zhou Yuan’s urgency, Yang Chen could tell that the matter with Miss Zhou was not a simple one.
In a short while, Zhou Yuan led Yang Chen to the center of the Zhou Family Mansion.
The place was heavily guarded, with dozens of guards on duty. It was hard to imagine who was residing within.
Yang Chen and Zhou Yuan entered together, and occasionally, someone greeted Elder Zhou Yuan along the way.
“Elder Zhou Yuan, you’re here too? Who is this…” Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a serious expression and sword-like eyebrows who was guarding the doorway looked at Zhou Yuan and Yang Chen who were approaching.
Zhou Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said respectfully, “Family Head, this is the Dan Medical practitioner who took down the reward notice and came to save Young Miss this morning.”
“He is a Dan Medical practitioner?” The Zhou Family Head frowned.
Zhou Yuan quickly introduced, “Yang Chen, this is our Zhou family head, as well as the father of the young lady.”
“I pay my respects to senior.” Yang Chen said.
Seeing that Yang Chen was so young, the Zhou Family Head, Zhou Haoran, was about to lose his temper, but after hearing him address him as “senior”, he could only wave his hand and say, “Such a young Dan Medical practitioner must have just started in this field and may lack experience. Experience can be learned, but you should be careful with your words, understood?”
Obviously, he didn’t have much hope for Yang Chen either.
Upon seeing Yang Chen’s young appearance, he wondered why Zhou Yuan had brought such a young man today. Still, he didn’t want to embarrass Zhou Yuan and let the two of them into the room.
This left Yang Chen with a wry smile.
Apparently, he had yet to step through the door, but he was already being looked down upon..
