Peerless Medical Emperor

At this point, Chen Qingdi was already resting off to the side.

”Is he okay now?”

Gong Liangbu asked, his face full of disbelief.

”He was just poisoned by a hidden weapon. A serious injury like this will take time to heal properly.”

”It’s nothing major. I’ve already cleared out the poison. Just apply some Golden Sore Medicine to the wound.”

Chen Qingdi said.

Gong Liangbu quickly applied some Golden Sore Medicine to Nie Xing.

”It’s already dark. I have to head back.”

”I’ll come back in a couple of days.”

”Don’t go out for the next two days. Just stay home and take care of Nie Xing.”

Chen Qingdi said.

”But what if Luo Yidao comes to kill us?”

”When that guy goes crazy, he’s capable of anything.”

Gong Liangbu said worriedly.

”If he’s really determined to kill you, I don’t think the two of you would have any problem dealing with him.”

”Besides, Nie Xing designed this house. He should know exactly how to use it to deal with Luo Yidao.”

Chen Qingdi said.

With that, Chen Qingdi gave Gong Liangbu a wave and left.

Chen Qingdi didn’t get home until late at night. When he returned, Lin Zhongxue couldn’t help but nag him a little, but Chen Qingdi just grinned without saying a word.

The next day, just as he was waking up, he heard a commotion outside.

Immediately after, Lin Qingmeng ran over to get Chen Qingdi.

”Brother, someone’s outside asking for you.”

Lin Qingmeng said.

”Okay, I’ll be up in a second.”

Chen Qingdi said.

He had only been in Jingxi for a few days, yet something new happened every single day.

Today, Chen Qingdi had wanted to just relax at home, but even that wasn’t allowed, it seemed.

Chen Qingdi had no idea who was looking for him.

But he couldn’t help but think, ’It couldn’t be Gong Liangbu again, could it? If it were him, Lin Qingmeng would have said so. After all, she’s met him before.’

After getting up and leaving his room, Chen Qingdi saw a car parked at the main gate—a stretch Lincoln.

A slick-haired young man was standing by the car, smiling and talking to Lin Zhongxue.

Chen Qingdi didn’t recognize the young man, so he walked over, completely baffled.

”And you are?”

Chen Qingdi asked.

”Elder Wu sent me to pick you up.”

”He said you were needed to see the matriarch.”

”You did promise, after all.”

The young man said.

”Didn’t I say in a couple of days?”

Chen Qingdi said.

”But the matriarch’s condition suddenly worsened today. She’s biting anyone she sees and has already injured several people.”

”And today, her eyes suddenly turned completely red.”

”Please, you have to go see her. Elder Wu is worried sick.”

the young man said.

”That shouldn’t be happening.”

”She was fine before.”

Chen Qingdi was puzzled. ’Something must have happened for the matriarch’s condition to change like this.’

”Elder Wu wanted to come himself, but he absolutely couldn’t get away from home. He was afraid you’d think we weren’t taking this seriously, so he specifically told me to relay this to you.”

The young man said.

”Alright, let’s go then.”

”Auntie, I’ll probably be back late again today.”

”You and Qing Meng just stay home and be safe.”

Chen Qingdi said.

”Okay, you go on. Saving a life is what’s important. And she’s an old woman, the poor thing.”

Lin Zhongxue said.

Once Chen Qingdi was in the car, the Wu Family’s driver immediately sped off toward the Wu residence.

”Can I ask you some questions?”

Chen Qingdi asked softly.

”Elder Wu has already instructed me to answer whatever Mr. Chen asks, and to do so truthfully.”

the driver said.

”The Wu Family’s matriarch... do you know what her illness is exactly?”

Chen Qingdi asked.

”We’re not sure. The matriarch lives deep inside a small courtyard, and people usually aren’t allowed in.”

”But I’ve heard she’s always drinking beast blood and eating garlic. There are rumors about it outside the family, too. Inside the Wu residence, it’s a forbidden topic. Anyone who discusses it gets kicked out.”

The driver said.

”So who holds the real power in the Wu Family right now? What are the sons up to? Tell me everything you know about the Wu Family’s situation in detail.”

Chen Qingdi wanted to get a deeper understanding of the Wu Family’s circumstances.

”On the surface, it seems like Elder Wu holds the power in the Wu Family, but their success today is mainly due to the matriarch’s influence. She was originally the young lady of a top-tier family in Kyoto, so she was considered to be marrying beneath her station.”

”The Wu Family was able to become one of the Four Ancient Martial Families because the matriarch collected a great number of Ancient Martial Records. Otherwise, the records they had wouldn’t have been enough. After all, their ancestors were robbed, and only a few books were left.”

”But things are different for the Wu Family now. The Four High Martial Families are developing faster and faster, and they’re also collecting Ancient Martial Techniques. The Xi Family, in particular, seems poised to surpass the Wu Family. The Wus were already ranked near the bottom of the Four Ancient Martial Families, and now many other powers are targeting them.”

The driver explained all this as he drove.

’If the driver hadn’t told me all this, I never would have realized how chaotic Jingxi is,’ Chen Qingdi thought.

’It seems the more prosperous the city, the deeper the undercurrents.’

”As for the Wu Family’s sons, only the third son follows the path of Ancient Martial Arts, but he’s only at the second level of the Guiyuan Realm.”

”The Xi Family’s peerless young prodigy is already at the third level of the Guiyuan Realm.”

”The Wu Family’s eldest and second sons are mainly in business, but they are also Martial Cultivators themselves, both at the initial stage of the Guiyuan Realm.”

the driver said.

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi nodded gently.

”So that’s the situation with the Wu Family. I hope my explanation was clear, Mr. Chen?”

the driver said.

”I understand most of it now, thank you.”

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

”You’re welcome.”

The driver nodded.

”For Elder Wu to send you to pick me up, he must trust you a great deal. I can see the flow of True Energy around you; you’re a Martial Cultivator as well.”

Chen Qingdi said to the driver with a smile.

”Yes, I am also in the Guiyuan Realm. My role in the Wu Family is basically that of a bodyguard. I usually guard the perimeter of the estate and also act as Elder Wu’s chauffeur. I don’t get involved in the family’s internal affairs, nor is it my place to.”

”After all, the Wu Family has two major figures hidden away. I’ve heard they’re both in the Grandmaster Realm, but they rarely make an appearance.”

”For problems that are hard to solve, usually just the Wu Family’s six Tributors are needed. They are all at the Master Realm.”

the driver said with a smile.

”What’s your name?”

Chen Qingdi asked.

”Shao Bing.”

Shao Bing said softly.

”Alright. I’ll remember you.”

Chen Qingdi said to Shao Bing with a smile. He thought the young man was pretty decent.
