Chapter 352 Repayment of a Noble Man

Chapter 352 Repayment of a Noble Man

Under Hua Jin's instruction, Mu Chunfeng unwound the blindfold covering Xiao Chong's eyes. Hua Jin held up a candle and waved the flame in front of Xiao Chong. "Do you perceive any light?"

Xiao Chong frowned slightly. "There seems to be a few spots of light."

Hua Jin put down the candle and waved a finger in front of Xiao Chong. "How about it now?"

Xiao Chong hesitated. "I can’t make out anything."

Hua Jin reached out a hand and pried open Xiao Chong's eyelids, examined each eye carefully then fell into silent contemplation.

"Genius doctor, how is it?" Jin Yu Gonggong was the first to ask.

Xiao Chong chuckled. "It’s fine, genius doctor. I've been blind for so many years and have long gotten used to it. This is just one more attempt. Even if there’s no way to cure my eyes, it doesn’t matter."

Hua Jin shook her head and nodded at Mu Chunfeng. Mu Chunfeng tied the white cloth back again. Hua Jin sighed. "Everything is as I expected. The optical nerve is normal, just the eyeballs have been ruined. It can be healed……"

Ling Shaohan hurriedly interrupted, "The genius doctor only needs to say whether you can cure him or not. Whatever else we need, we can search for medicinal ingredients and we will prepare the treatment fees. Please let Shaohan take care of it."

Hua Jin glanced at him, and then at Mu Chunfeng. Mu Chunfeng nodded slightly, then Hua Jin turned to Xiao Chong and said, "I claim in the name of the 11th King of Medicine of the Medicine King Valley that I can cure you."

Xiao Chong got up, bent to his knees, and his voice trembled. "Thank you, genius doctor."

Jin Yu Gonggong also bowed his head. "Thank you, genius doctor."

"You come with me." Hua Jin turned around and spoke to Ling Shaohan.

Ling Shaohan hurriedly followed her out as he shot Xiao Jingxia a look. Xiao Jingxia understood immediately and stepped forward to help Xiao Chong.

Hua Jin asked as they walked out of the room, "You keep interrupting to prevent me from saying the rest. That means you’re afraid that the White Prince will object. So, you know something. Did Xiao Se tell you?"

Ling Shaohan nodded. "The Yong'an Prince Residence sent a letter that mentioned it."

"Then I have to meet the person willing to donate his eyes. I need to know two things. First, he must be innocent. I don’t want to save someone at the expense of another. Two, he is completely willing. I don’t want to perform a surgery doomed to fail," Hua Jin said evenly. "Have you already chosen someone?"

"Yes, genius doctor, we have someone," Ling Shaohan replied.

"Bring him to see me," Hua Jin said.

"Genius doctor, you have already seen him." Ling Shaohan suddenly stopped.

Hua Jin turned her head and was surprised by Ling Shaohan, who suddenly cupped his fists and bowed towards her. "You?"

"Everything will be in your hands, genius doctor."

Red Prince Residence.

Xiao Yu was sitting in the study, and when he saw Long Ye walk in, he asked indifferently, "What's up?"

"My Prince, today, the genius doctor, Hua Jin, was accompanied by Jin Yu Gonggong to visit… the White Prince Residence," Long Ye said.

Xiao Yu nodded. "Understood. All these years, he’s never given up looking for a way. Now that the successor of the Medicine King Valley is here, naturally, he won’t pass on this opportunity."

"If he can really be cured…" Long Ye frowned.

"Regardless of whether he’s cured or not, Xiao Chong no longer has any chance of winning this battle. He’s no longer the best choice for anyone. And, choosing to undergo treatment for his eyes at this time? He has underestimated how fast our plans have proceeded." Xiao Yu laughed. "But that little genius doctor is indeed troublesome. She should never have shown her face and it’s about time we make her disappear. What do you think? Mister Su."

Sitting next to Xiao Yu was a man dressed in black and wearing a silver mask. The Hidden River Patriarch, Su Changhe.

Lately, his temperament had grown even more sinister and his eyes even more ferocious. He curled his mouth up in a smirk and agreed, "Can be done."

"Back then, the Patriarch promised to help me destroy the Tang Clan and Lei Clan Fort, you also said, can be done. A few days ago, you said you’d help me kill Grand Preceptor Dong, you also said, can be done. However, Lei Clan Fort has two members who entered the Ultimate Experts List, and the Tang Clan’s new clan leader, Tang Lianyue, even clenched a second tier spot. Grand Preceptor Dong is still alive and kicking, and he has the former King of Murder by his side." Xiao Yu continued to smile, but his tone was frosty. "Patriarch, don’t you think the Hidden River killers need to be a little more powerful?"

"Is Your Highness Red Prince implying that we, Hidden River, have not tried our best?" Su Changhe turned his head and stared at Xiao Yu.

Long Ye curled his fingers around the long sabre at his waist.

Xiao Yu was still smiling. "What I’m implying is that I have a method to make the killers of Hidden River even more powerful. I wonder if the Patriarch would like to give it a try."

"A method?" Su Changhe tapped his fingers gently on the table. "If there’s really such a wonderful method, why doesn’t Your Highness try it yourself?"

"I’m the sword holder. Why would I turn myself into a sword?" Xiao Yu grinned.

Su Changhe smiled coldly, but he suddenly exploded with violence and struck a palm at Xiao Yu.

Long Ye drew his blade instantly, but Su Changhe smacked him aside with one palm. Xiao Yu didn’t even flinch while Su Changhe's second palm was already coming at him.

A "bang" sounded.

Su Changhe was still standing in place, Xiao Yu took a small step backwards and a man in a black robe stood where he was standing a moment ago. His hand was raised to block Su Changhe's palm.

Su Changhe frowned slightly. "It's you."

The man did not reply, but he murmured under his breath, "Who am I…?"

Su Changhe withdrew his palm and observed the person before him from head to toe, his expression turning more and more severe.

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "What do you think of my sword?"

Snowy Peak Temple.

Rakshasa Hall.

Wuchan walked into the hall carrying a lunch box while Ming Hou was still sitting quietly in front of that painting of the Hell of a Hundred Ghosts.

"It's time to eat," Wuchan called out. During this period of time, there were only the two of them in Snowy Peak Temple, but Ming Hou, who had lost his mind, sat in the Rakshasa Hall staring at that painting all day long. It was only when he was eating that he was able to look away for a while.

"It’s been so long since shidi left and he hasn’t sent a single letter. I’m getting worried. When shifu was alive, he said shidi could go anywhere under Heaven except Heavenly Revelations. Why won’t shidi listen? If it wasn’t because you’re here, I wouldn’t have been able to resist making the trip to Heavenly Revelations myself.” Wuchan talked to Ming Hou while scooping rice for him. Even though Ming Hou never responded, Wuchan was happy to talk to himself. It was certainly preferable to training alone in the temple every day.

"But I heard rumours in town that the sixth prince has also returned to Heavenly Revelations. That should be Xiao Se, I guess. Now that they’re in the same place, at least shidi has someone to look out for him. But, that Xiao Se is like a fox. He’s not that trustworthy. I’m still worried," Wuchan continued talking to himself.

After finishing their meals, Ming Hou didn't say a word, and Wuchan was also used to it. He packed up the lunch box and stood up. By the time he looked up, Ming Hou was back to staring at the painting of the Hell of a Hundred Ghosts. Wuchan sighed and headed out of the hall.

"Wait." Suddenly, a deep and raspy voice called out.

Wuchan spun around in surprise and looked at Ming Hou. Ming Hou's muddled eyes had suddenly become clear.

Ming Hou looked up at Wuchan, his mind clear and lucid. "I’ll go with you to Heavenly Revelations."
