Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1568: Chapter 1571: The Past of Medicine Saint

”Why is this...?”

Supreme Long Huang raised an eyebrow, and everyone looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, ”Think about it, if you have made enemies with someone, and you don’t know the exact strength of the other party, only that they belong to a deeply influential mysterious force, would you venture into their lair?”

”Of course not. Going without knowing their strength is tantamount to courting death, isn’t it?” Leng Ming spoke up first.

”Exactly!” Jiang Chen nodded lightly, ”Normally, that’s what I’d do too, if there wasn’t a necessity.”

”You mean...”

Supreme Long Huang’s expression changed, and he said gravely, ”That person wants to make you apprehensive, so you dare not go to Elixir Valley? Is this related to the competition at Elixir Valley?!”

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, ”It should be like that!”

”They don’t want you to go to Elixir Valley, who could it be? If it’s people from the three organizations, they should be eager for you to go to Elixir Valley, right?” Supreme Long Huang said doubtfully.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, ”It should be people from the three organizations!”

”I don’t understand this!” Supreme Long Huang looked bewildered.

Jiang Chen explained softly, ”The three organizations must have considered that I could find out about their people through certain means, so they don’t want me to go to Elixir Valley for fear that I might expose them upon discovery. This also indicates that they won’t make a move right at the start of the Elixir competition!”

”We figured they wouldn’t act right at the start. Elder Long will personally participate in Elixir Valley’s competition, and we will also send a few people there. They probably don’t want to stir up trouble since they can’t contend with Elder Long without three to five Saint Realms separately!” Long Huang explained softly.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, ”That makes sense!”

”But they could send Dark Church people to keep an eye inside, and Soul Devouring Group and Gene Organization just need to wait outside to encircle.” Supreme Long Huang questioned again.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and glanced at Mi Jiaro, ”Because of this kid, I fought with the Soul Devouring Group at the Y Imperial Palace, and the Soul Devouring Group probably got the news that he was with me. They worry that this kid might bring in some Supreme Experts, causing unnecessary trouble. He belongs to the Holy Court, and people of the Dark Church are invisible to him.”

”Holy Court member? And can bring in some Supreme Experts? Also fought with you at Y Imperial Palace?”

Long Huang looked at Mi Jiaro with surprise and curiously at Jiang Chen, ”Who is he? A member of the Holy Court who casually brawls at the Y Imperial Palace, is he the Y Empress’s grandson? But even as the Y Empress’s grandson, he wouldn’t bring ’some’ Supreme Experts, right?”

”You’re the Y Empress’s grandson! Do not insult me!” Mi Jiaro replied indignantly.

”Hmm?” Supreme Long Huang raised an eyebrow and laughed, ”You’re quite bold, daring to retort me and looking down on the Y Empress’s grandson?”

Supreme Hu Sha and others, including Medicine Saint, looked at Mi Jiaro with curiosity.

Leng Ming also exclaimed in surprise, ”Kid, you’re impressive, more arrogant than me?”

”Mr. Jiang can call me kid, you cannot. It’s an insult to me, which could lead to the destruction of your faction!” Mi Jiaro said solemnly to Leng Ming.

”Hey, I don’t believe it, kid...” Leng Ming, dissatisfied, was about to speak further.

”Leng Ming, he’s not arrogant; he’s stating the facts.”

Jiang Chen stopped Leng Ming with a smile, ”The Y Empress’s grandson indeed doesn’t compare to him! Calling him kid, in strict terms, is indeed an insult and a provocation to his faction’s dignity. If his faction comes to fight your family to the death, it wouldn’t be too much. Moreover, if it really came to a fight, your family wouldn’t stand a chance!”

”So... who is he? Someone from a dominant faction?” Leng Ming asked in astonishment.

Jiang Chen chuckled and nodded, ”This kid is the Saint Heir of the Holy Court, Mi Jiaro!”

”The Saint Heir of the Holy Court!?”

”What?! He’s the Saint Heir of the Holy Court?!”

”Goodness! The Saint Heir of the Holy Court?!”

”This, this...”

Everyone exclaimed in shock, staring at Jiang Chen.

For factions like the Holy Court, a Saint Heir is akin to the Son of God, directly representing the Pope and the entire Holy Court externally!

Supreme Long Huang marvelled, ”Young Jiang, how did you manage to bring back the Saint Heir of the Holy Court on your journeys?”

”Didn’t Dragon Saint Senior tell you?” Jiang Chen was a bit surprised, looking inquisitively at Supreme Long Huang.

Supreme Long Huang blinked and suddenly realized, ”Oh, because of that incident, the Pope let you take him out?”

”Yes! The Pope asked me to take him out for some training!” Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

Supreme Long Huang glanced at Mi Jiaro meaningfully, ”You have a life-saving talisman beside you, yet also a ticking time bomb.”

”I know!” Jiang Chen nodded lightly and brought the topic back, ”Because of Mi Jiaro’s presence, the three organizations must be unwilling for him and me to appear at Elixir Valley, hence this ploy!”

”Then... doesn’t this mean they’d be on guard as soon as you appear?” Supreme Long Huang frowned.

”Not necessarily. They can’t ascertain my method of investigation, and it’s easier to avoid Mi Jiaro. Just stay away from him and avoid his Holy Light.” Jiang Chen shook his head, ”Soul Devour is doing this to be cautious, mainly to prevent Mi Jiaro from bringing experts along. We just need to appear without experts; even if they are wary of me and Mi Jiaro, it’s not a big issue!”

Upon Jiang Chen’s explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.

”If you go to Elixir Valley, there might be trouble!” Supreme Long Huang pondered softly, reminding him.

Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head, ”That’s fine.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment, slowly digesting Jiang Chen’s hypothesis, finding it increasingly reasonable the more they thought about it!

Seeing the understanding in everyone’s eyes, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and turned to Medicine Saint, ”Elder Yao, can you tell us about you and Ling’er? What’s the situation with the daughter of the former Valley Master of Elixir Valley?”

Everyone was stunned, collectively turning to Medicine Saint.

Medicine Saint nodded, organizing his words as a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

”Forty years ago, I made a good brother. He was an elixir maker, and I was an herb gatherer. After meeting, we hit it off immediately and eventually became the best of friends!”

Medicine Saint softly narrated a tale from the past:

”Later, he invited me to Elixir Valley. That’s when I found out he was the heir of Elixir Valley. Attracted by Elixir Valley’s herbs, I followed him there, becoming the youngest offering elder of Elixir Valley. Later...”
