Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 667: Chapter 668: Ling Hanyang’s Past! (4 more updates)

”Indeed, the Empress Dowager of the Empire is truly omniscient and omnipotent,” Ling Feng’s heart spawned a trace of caution. Being known as the Heir of the Medical Saint was sometimes a good thing and other times, not necessarily.

He knew so little about his grandfather’s past that he could not be sure whether this Empress Dowager was a friend or foe of his grandfather.

”Little fellow, there’s no need for you to be so nervous.” The Empress Dowager smiled faintly, her phoenix eyes gazing at Ling Feng as she spoke softly, ”Speaking of which, your grandfather and I have quite a profound connection.”

”A profound connection?” Ling Feng’s pupils shrank slightly as he asked in a deep voice, ”I would ask Your Highness to enlighten me.”

”It’s a story from forty or fifty years ago,” the Empress Dowager began as she slightly raised her head, her flawless visage showing no sign that she was actually from the same generation as Ling Feng’s grandmother.

”Back then, there was a sixteen-year-old girl who left her family to gain experience and was injured by a demon...”

Through the Empress Dowager’s narrative, Ling Feng gradually learned some of the truth.

It turned out that when Ling Hanyang was young, he had once saved a girl who was severely injured by a demon. At that time, Ling Hanyang was not yet a Medical Saint, but his medical skills had already reached the standard of an ordinary Daoist Doctor.

Before long, Ling Hanyang had cured the girl, who later turned out to be the young miss of the Eastern Capital Yan Family, named Yaan Ning.

During the time he spent with Yaan Ning, Ling Hanyang developed feelings for her. Unfortunately, the people of the Yan Family looked down on Ling Hanyang as a mere commoner. Even though he was a Daoist Doctor, how could he be a match for Yaan Ning, a Heavenly Pride Girl?

Time flew by, and ten years had passed.

Ten years later, in the Sky White Empire, a Medical Saint without peer emerged, able to easily heal King-level and Emperor Level powerhouses.

Of course, this Medical Saint was Ling Hanyang.

The Eastern Capital Yan Family scorned him as a common man, but with his medical skill alone, he could command those kings and Human Emperors at will.

Under the heavens, no one could surpass the realm of Ling Hanyang, and even the nobles had to treat him with great respect.

Later, when Ling Hanyang found the Yan Family again, he discovered that the former Yaan Ning had become an Imperial Concubine.

Even after reaching the peak of medical skill, Ling Hanyang felt as if he had been struck by Thunder Urgency upon hearing this news.

With a heart heavy with sadness, Ling Hanyang went to the Imperial City and offered the Miracle Pill, the Youthful Appearance Pill, to Yaan Ning, who had become the Imperial Concubine, just to win a smile from the beauty.

Later, Ling Hanyang left the Imperial City and traveled all over, becoming a legendary healer known to the world with his profound medical skills.

Afterward, a Demon Clan Expert from who knows where learned of Ling Hanyang’s fame and invited him to the Southern Border Demon Domain to treat the ailing Qiongqi Demon Emperor.

This journey was fraught with peril, and his life was in the balance.

Even though Ling Hanyang was an astonishing healer, he had never cultivated, so before heading to the Southern Border Demon Domain, Ling Hanyang met with Yaan Ning one last time and entrusted the second part of the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture to her for safekeeping.

That explained why such an important item ended up with the Eastern Capital Yan Family.

From the beginning, Ling Hanyang’s heart cherished only Yaan Ning!

Ling Hanyang went south to the Demon Domain and miraculously returned alive. Afterward, this legendary Medical Saint slowly faded from the public eye, and in the blink of an eye, another twenty years had passed.

After listening to the Empress Dowager’s narrative, Ling Feng understood that this distinguished Empress Dowager was his grandfather’s past love, Yaan Ning!

What a breathtakingly splendid woman she was, who not only missed out on Yan Cangtian’s lifelong happiness but also caused his own grandfather’s...

No wonder the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture ended up with the Eastern Capital Yan Family—it truly was the adage that a hero cannot overcome the beauty pass!

”So, little fellow, do you think I would harbor any enmity toward you?” The Empress Dowager, no, it should be said Yaan Ning, looked at Ling Feng very kindly and said warmly, ”After all, Han Yang saved my life. And this eternal youth of mine is also a gift from him.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath. The Youthful Appearance Pill was indeed a rare elixir in the world. Although it wasn’t high-ranking, the difficulty of refining it was immense, comparable even to a Ninth Level elixir.

With my current abilities, at best I could refine some seventh rank elixirs.

Yet my grandfather managed to create such pills to leave for his beloved—it seems he was quite the romantic.

”Turns out the Empress Dowager actually...”

Ling Feng slowly stood up, bowing deeply to the Empress Dowager. If fate hadn’t played its tricks, this Yaan Ning might have been his grandmother.

”You are Han Yang’s descendant, how is he... still well?” the Empress Dowager sighed softly, asking with a heavy voice.

”Grandfather has long since passed away,” Ling Feng said solemnly.

”So he has already...”

The Empress Dowager lifted the wine cup before her, draining it in one gulp, her expression filled with a sorrowful melancholy.

After a while, the Empress Dowager finally looked at Ling Feng, speaking slowly, ”To my knowledge, you seem to have some misunderstandings with our Yan Family’s most outstanding younger member, Yaan Jinghong?”

”It’s not really much of a misunderstanding,” Ling Feng pursed his lips, changing the subject, ”Since my grandfather entrusted the ’Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture’ to the Empress Dowager for safekeeping, today I, as his descendant, come to request its return. I wonder if the Empress Dowager would facilitate the handover?”

”I knew it—the descendant of Han Yang would surely come for this medical skill,” the Empress Dowager shook her head, ”I have no knowledge of medical skills, thus I did not carry it with me. It’s left in the Eastern Capital. In fact, I possess a photographic memory. I have browsed through that medical book a few times. If you wish to have the book back, I can recite it entirely from memory and return it to you. What do you think?”

”This...” Ling Feng’s expression faltered. The ’Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture’ was important, but the ’Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique’ hidden in that unique copy was truly the crux of the matter!

”The Empress Dowager is willing to transcribe the medical book, and I am naturally grateful. However, since the unique copy was my grandfather’s belonging, as his descendant, of course, I would like to see it returned to its rightful owner,” Ling Feng chuckled, effectively declining the offer.

”Is that so?” The Empress Dowager seemed regretful, ”Unfortunately, I had already entrusted the book to the Yan Family Patriarch for safekeeping. Now it is inconvenient for me to ask for it back. A pity, a pity.”

Ling Feng sneered inwardly, suddenly wary of the Empress Dowager. With her high status, would it really be difficult for her to request a medical book from her family?

This woman must be more complicated than she appears!

My grandfather, along with Yan Cangtian and that late Emperor of the Sky White Empire—these three men, likely the most outstanding men under the heavens, were all bewitched by her. Could it really be just for her looks?

One must always guard against others!

”If there’s nothing else, the night is getting late, and I won’t disturb the Empress Dowager’s rest.”

”Ah, I originally wanted to stop the fight between you and Jinghong. It’s a pity, both of you are stubborn children. I just hope neither of you gets hurt.”

The Empress Dowager sighed again, standing up to say, ”Let’s go, I’ll see you out.”

”Thank you, Empress Dowager.” Ling Feng quickly bowed again, following the exquisite beauty out of the palace.

Outside, Tuoba Yan was still waiting, cold and silent. Seeing the woman who brought out Ling Feng, his pupils shrank sharply.

Is this the Empress Dowager?

She could pass for a princess!

”Xiao Feng, your grandfather and I were acquaintances, so I’ll call you Xiao Feng. You don’t mind, do you?” the Empress Dowager spoke warmly with a smile.

”Of course. In fact, I felt a sense of kinship as soon as I saw the Empress Dowager,” Ling Feng feigned intimacy, smiling cheerfully.

”This is an entry token for the Imperial Palace. If you have the time, you are welcome to visit me,” the Empress Dowager handed a gold token to Ling Feng, smiling faintly, ”Well, you can go now! As for the matter of the medical book, I am indeed sorry.”

”The Empress Dowager puts too much weight on it.”

Ling Feng bowed once more, then, leading the bewildered Tuoba Yan, and guided by Little Anzi, they left the Empress Dowager’s sleeping quarters.

As Ling Feng’s figure gradually disappeared into the distance, the Empress Dowager’s kind and gentle smile slowly faded, replaced by a chilliness, a lofty air that made her unapproachable to the common folk.
