EBE Chapter 122 Never Betray
Chapter 122 Never Betray
"Xiao Chen, where did you learn such amazing medical skills?" Everyone in the Xiao family looked at Xiao Chen.
They were also very curious.
It's quite unexpected that the legendary art of acupuncture would appear in the world under such circumstances.
Xiao Chen comes from the Xiao family of Nancheng and has never been well received. This abandoned son is not only powerful in martial arts but also possesses miraculous medical skills, making his background all the more intriguing.
“Naturally, I learned it from my teacher,” Xiao Chen said with a smile. “He was an itinerant doctor with no reputation and was rarely mentioned.”
“A traveling doctor…” Xiao Yuanshan pondered.
It's hard to imagine that a physician with such a lineage would remain unknown.
But without a doubt, he must have been an extremely remarkable physician.
“Even top-tier physicians found the Illuminati’s poison troublesome, yet Xiao Chen cured it. Doesn’t that mean he can be compared to a master physician?” someone exclaimed.
The expressions on everyone's faces were quite interesting.
Which of these top-tier doctors isn't extremely renowned?
They were all treasures of the Xia Kingdom, holding a very high social status and enjoying many privileges granted by the authorities, thus wielding considerable influence.
If word got out that a renowned physician in his twenties had emerged from this place, it would likely cause a huge sensation.
"My knowledge is limited; I only know this set of acupuncture techniques. Naturally, I cannot compare to the masters," Xiao Chen said.
It's not that he's being modest; he just doesn't like trouble.
"That's still quite remarkable!" Xiao Yuanshan praised, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Pfft!" Xiao Jing's coughing up blood interrupted the joyful scene.
"My light will endure forever! The secrets of the Xiao family will one day be revealed!" he said with his last strength.
"May the light endure forever! For all eternity!"
After shouting the slogan, Xiao Jing stared blankly and then died.
The head of the Xiao family stepped forward and tore off a piece of human skin mask from his face.
"What should we do with Xiao Yaheng?" Someone asked, frowning as they looked at the unconscious Young Master Xiao on the ground.
“Xiao Jing probably won’t have time to send the message out, so let’s continue with the plan, bring this fake one back to life, keep a close watch on him, and see what the Illuminati does next,” said the Xiao family patriarch.
"With the deaths of three A-level Lightbringers and those B- and C-level Lightbringers, the Illuminati will definitely take action soon. We should remain unchanged and wait for all changes to occur."
"Furthermore, report the news to our family immediately. With their methods of suppression, the Illuminati will not dare to openly launch a large-scale operation against the Xiao family in Jiang City."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Now that Xiao Yuanshan has fully recovered from his injuries, they have even more confidence.
"Grandpa, I have a question for you," Xiao Chen suddenly said.
"Go ahead and ask," Xiao Yuanshan said kindly to him.
"I want to hear about the secrets of the Xiao family, and the shame of our ancestors," Xiao Chen said solemnly.
"I knew you'd ask that." Xiao Yuanshan smiled.
"I can't tell you now. I'll tell you after you pass the trial set by the strongest member of the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen looked slightly taken aback.
He remembered that trial.
In a secluded spot in the backyard of the Xiao family, there is a secret passage leading underground, filled with numerous traps and trial challenges.
However, in his previous life, he lost all his martial arts skills and couldn't even pass the first level.
Throughout his life, he was a nobody in the Xiao family of Jiang City until he went to the main family to have his bloodline tested, after which he was taken seriously.
"Okay." Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.
In this life, he was no less capable than anyone else in the so-called trials.
"Nothing else, I'll be going now." He bowed to Xiao Yuanshan.
The other party has earned his respect enough.
"Wait, there's something else," Xiao Yuanshan called out to him.
"Xiao Chen, are you willing to become a seed of the Xiao family in Jiang City?" Xiao Yuanshan asked solemnly.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
“As far as we know, you are not valued by the Xiao family in Nancheng. On the contrary, you have suffered humiliation. Their seed is an adopted son, Xiao Yichen…” The head of the Xiao family continued, and everyone stared at Xiao Chen.
“Our Xiao family in Jiang City is different. We will prioritize you. Once you become one of our seeds, everything here will be done according to your wishes! All resources will be provided first, and everyone will move forward or backward based on your word…”
Xiao Chen glanced at the fake young master on the ground.
The second young master of the Xiao family in Jiang City died long ago, and even the imposter was crippled by him. The eldest young master is already past his prime, so they have no offspring...
Xiao Chen also knew that the performance of each branch family seed determined the proportion of resources they could obtain from the main family.
The Xiao family of Nancheng has been unable to produce offspring for many years, which has led to their alienation from the main family and their increasing decline.
"I'm not from the Xiao family in Jiang City, is that okay?" Xiao Chen asked.
The head of the Xiao family smiled upon hearing this.
“Even an adopted son can be a seed, you have the blood of the Xiao family, why can’t you?”
Xiao Chen chuckled softly.
From the tone of the Xiao family patriarch, he could sense the rejection of people with different bloodlines.
“Xiao Chen, we actually had this plan from the moment you entered here. I can assure you on behalf of the Xiao family that if you choose us, the Xiao family of Jiang City will never betray you! No matter right or wrong, we will always stand behind you and support you wholeheartedly!” Xiao Yuanshan said solemnly.
Xiao Chen didn't say anything.
But he was deeply moved.
Neither in his previous life nor in this one had anyone of his kind ever said anything like that to him.
If his pure bloodline hadn't been detected within his own family, no one would ever have paid him any attention.
Now that he has demonstrated his talent and gained the approval of the Xiao family in Jiang City...
"Grandpa, if I were just an ordinary member of the Xiao family, would you still risk your life for me?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
Xiao Yuanshan frowned slightly.
"I might not risk my life like that, but I will definitely save you, simply because you are of the Xiao family bloodline," he said bluntly.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and walked out the door.
As he reached the door, he finally said:
“I won’t do it if I get less than Xiao Yaheng.”
Xiao Yuanshan and the head of the Xiao family exchanged a smile, and everyone in the Xiao family showed expressions of relief.
"With this young man around, the Xiao family of Jiang City will surely achieve remarkable success in this generation, breaking the shackles of our family!" the Xiao family head said earnestly.
Through years of trials, the branch family has never triumphed over the main family...
Xiao Yuanshan, however, had a far-reaching vision.
He sees and thinks further...
Perhaps, this will be a glimmer of hope for the Xiao family lineage, generation after generation...
