Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“My god! This is incredible! You are the first person in all of Northern Wilderness Starfield that could ease Ms. Wenren’s illness!” Dong Zhuo declared. His widened eyes still focused on Chen Xiaobei.

“Young man, I’m really sorry that I did not believe you,” said a shocked Wenren Jinghao. “I now know that you were telling the truth! I hope you won’t hold that against me but continue to find a way to cure my daughter’s illness! I am truly grateful!”

“Don’t thank me just yet,” Chen Xiaobei said, “I cannot guarantee that I will be able to cure Ms. Wenren Jinghao of her illness. I’m afraid I will have to consult my teacher about the cure!”

“Your teacher?”

Both Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo were astonished.

Whoever taught this disciple to be so incredible must be quite the teacher!

“Young man, where is your teacher? I’d like to pay him my respects personally!” asked Dong Zhuo.

Traditional medicine doctors were rare in Northern Wilderness Starfield. All the good doctors were enshrined by the aristocrats whereas top-notch doctors were made honored guests of the governor and the Temple.

Dong Zhuo wanted to recruit Chen Xiaobei’s teacher, to enshrine him in his official residence so that if there were any outbreaks of illnesses, Dong Zhuo would have nothing to worry about.

But Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, “My teacher lives in a place far away. And governor, you will not want to go there!”

“What place is that? If you tell me, I will certainly go!” Dong Zhuo said zealously.

Chen Xiaobei simply shook his head and said nothing.

Three legendary doctors from ancient times, Huo Tuo, Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao had taught Chen Xiaobei everything he knew about traditional Chinese medicine.

And these three were ghosts in the underworld realm.

Dong Zhuo would never have the courage to set foot in the underworld realm and talk to spirits.

Wenren Jinghao moderated the situation by saying, “Governor, men like that prefer to live in solitary. If you visit him, I’m afraid it may backfire and worsen the situation.”

“Mm, you’re right.”

Dong Zhuo nodded disappointedly.

He then turned his attention toward Chen Xiaobei. He had a feeling that this young man’s medical skills were not as superb as his teacher’s. Also, he was afraid that Wenren Jinghao might mistake that Dong Zhuo wanted to please him as well, so he decided not to try and reel Chen Xiaobei in.

“Miss, you have just recovered. Let’s get you home and rest!” Wenren Qing’er said.

“I don’t want to! I have never felt so good before! I don’t need to rest!” Wenren Muyue shook her head. “Today was supposed to be dad’s homecoming. We didn’t even sit down and have a celebratory meal, yet. How can we possibly go home? On top of that, how can we let this gentleman who helps ease my pain go home with an empty stomach?”

“Mm, you are right.” Qing’er nodded and then looked at Wenren Jinghao for confirmation.

“Alright then. Let’s have dinner together!” Wenren Jinghao smiled. “Young man, please don’t decline. This is Muyue’s intent! If you don’t eat with us, I’m afraid this girl will not be able to sleep for a few days!”

“Alright! Then I shall accept with earnest.”

Chen Xiaobei nodded.

After that, Chen Xiaobei sat down and enjoyed a divine meal with the Northern Wilderness Temple Elder, the Silver Plume governor, and Ms. Wenren.

All throughout the dinner, Chen Xiaobei was the focus at the table.

Wenren Jinghao and Wenren Muyue would not stop thanking him and Dong Zhuo would not stop asking Chen Xiaobei about the whereabouts of his teacher.

One thing led to another, Chen Xiaobei then became the subject and target of their toast.

If news got out about how both the Elder of the North Wilderness Temple and the governor of Silver Plume drank to Chen Xiaobei, the whole Silver Plume City would be in an uproar.

After they were filled with food and liquor, Qing’er went home with Wenren Muyue to rest.

Dong Zhuo had some things he wanted to discuss with Wenren Jinghao. But before they left, Wenren Jinghao brushed Dong Zhuo aside to have a private conversation with Chen Xiaobei.

“Mr. Chen, please wait!”

Wenren Jinghao ran to the door.

“Is there anything else you need, Elder Wenren?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“This meal is not enough to express our family’s gratitude for what you’ve done! If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask. We will do whatever we can to help!”

“You don’t have to do that, Elder Wenren. I’m not after any benefit.” Chen Xiaobei said, “Ms. Wenren is a very kind-hearted person. That was why I decided to help her. But if she were that acrimonious noblewoman, I would never help her, not even if I was paid in mountains of gold and silver!”

Wenren Jinghao was pleasantly surprised by Chen Xiaobei’s response.

Who would have thought that there still existed people who were not after benefiting off the Wenren Family’s!

“Mr. Chen, I trust you! You are not a person who would forget your integrity for personal gain! But you must know that not repaying someone’s kindness is not something I, Wenren Jinghao, would do! What’s more, I am depending on you to cure my daughter in the days to come. No matter what, I will not fail to repay you!”

Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and then said, “Since we are the topic of treating her illness, there’s something that I’d like to ask for!”

“What is it? Go ahead and tell me! I will do my best to get it done!”

“I want to be able to get into the inner city! That way, it would be much more convenient for me to treat Ms. Wenren!”

“Alright! Consider that done!” Wenren Jinghao nodded and then took out a piece of gold plaque with the words ‘Wenren’ carved on it. “This is our Wenren family’s token. With it, you will be able to go in and out of the inner city! On top of that, the good and bad side of the cities will show you good respect!”

Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up at this.

This token was not just a pass to enter the inner city to treat Ms. Wenren, it was also a death-exemption plate. No one would dare ruffle a hair on Chen Xiaobei because that would mean messing with the Wenren family!

Seeing how Dong Zhuo kowtowed to Wenren Jinghao, it was clear that no one in Silver Plume Planet would dare meddle with the Wenren family!

“I will take this with me. If Ms. Wenren has any episodes again, please call me immediately!”

“Alright, thank you, Mr. Chen!” Wenren Jinghao said earnestly.

“I will take my leave now!” Chen Xiaobei nodded and then turned to leave.

Instead of going back to the 2nd Regiment base camp, he turned to 66th Street.

The lights were on in Ju Niao’s mansion which meant that he was at home.

So, Chen Xiaobei walked up to it.

“Who are you? This is not a place you can just waltz into! Get the f*ck out of here!” A bucktooth thug shouted.

Chen Xiaobei was not the least bit taunted. He said in an even voice, “I’m here for Little Bird
