Chapter 209: Chapter 208 [Conversation between Ye Tianchen and Zhang Yide]Ye Tianchen’s words startled everyone present, even Old General Murong, a veteran who had come through the flames of war, could not help but stare attentively at Ye Tianchen. Never had he seen a young man speak so calmly and effortlessly before him, leading him to wonder if this could be an ageless hidden expert like Zhang Yide? Of course, Old General Murong did not know that Ye Tianchen and Hei Mian had been sent by the highest commander to protect him, which reflected the high level of concern and importance the national leadership gave to the Murong family. After all, generations of the Murong family had made significant contributions to the nation’s stability and unity, and the sacrifice of his four sons was something worthy of respect. seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Who are you?" Old General Murong asked coldly as he looked at Ye Tianchen. "Ye Tianchen," Ye Tianchen replied with a smile. "You are Ye Tianchen?" Old General Murong couldn’t help but pause and asked somewhat surprised. Being such an influential figure, Old General Murong naturally controlled much of the domestic intelligence. Since the Ye family’s return to the Capital City, every move Ye Tianchen made had sufficiently shaken both the underworld and high society, especially his overnight eradication of the Qin family and the Luo family, which indeed startled many major forces and noble families. Could this signify that the once-declined Ye family was on its way to rising again because of Ye Tianchen? "General Murong, Ye Tianchen and I were both assigned by the commander to protect you," Hei Mian hurriedly stepped forward and explained. "I don’t care if you are Ye Tianchen or someone else; if you speak out, you must take responsibility. If my granddaughter’s poison cannot be cured, and Zhang Yide and his granddaughter die, you will die too!" Old General Murong sternly told Ye Tianchen. "All you talk about are your conditions, yet you don’t even ask about my conditions. If I cure your granddaughter, do you plan to betroth her to me as a reward?" Ye Tianchen joked with a laugh. "No problem. Not only will I betroth my granddaughter Xiner to you, but I can also restore the Ye family to its former status as a top family in the Capital City. How does that sound?" Old General Murong also showed a hint of a smile as he proposed to Ye Tianchen. Indeed, Old General Murong had the ability to do so. Having fought battles alongside the commander and sacrificed his four sons for the country and its people during later wars, just the words ’Old General Murong’ alone, if he were to speak to the national leaders, would certainly go unrefuted. A veteran naturally possessed such domineering spirit and influence. Now, Old General Murong suddenly began to appreciate Ye Tianchen. Despite having virtually no interactions with Ye Yuanshan of the Ye family, he had heard some accounts of the affairs of the Ye family and didn’t expect that this grandson, Ye Tianchen, possessed both courage and wisdom, potentially able to make a significant impact. "I was just joking. Let all your men leave. Just stay with your granddaughter; I want to talk to Master Zhang!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile, while at that moment, Zhang Yide also looked at Ye Tianchen in surprise. Old General Murong paused, waved his hand, and all his armed soldiers exited the courtyard of the not-so-large Zhang residence, leaving only Ye Tianchen, Hei Mian, Old General Murong, Murong Xin, Zhang Yide, and Zhang Ruotong. "Young man, I still want to make it clear beforehand, if my granddaughter dies, no matter who you are, you will accompany her in death!" Old General Murong coldly stated to Ye Tianchen. "Then you might as well sit aside, have some tea, and don’t disturb me!" Ye Tianchen replied, annoyed. Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Old General Murong, infuriated, grew pale. Never in his military career or his dealings with high government officials had anyone dared to speak to him like that. "Fine, I’ll see how you cure my granddaughter’s poison!" Old General Murong glared intensely at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen did not speak further but walked toward Zhang Yide. Seeing Ye Tianchen approaching, Zhang Yide instinctively protected his granddaughter from behind. He sensed a familiar energy emanating from this young man, powerful and enigmatic, even he might not prevail against it, making Zhang Yide very vigilant. "Master Zhang, how about we talk?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile. "What do you want to talk about? Do you really think the Detoxification Herb has a cure?" Zhang Yide looked at Ye Tianchen and asked. "Yes, there is a cure, though it’s difficult and dangerous, but still worth a try!" Ye Tianchen continued smiling as he replied. "You..." Zhang Yide exclaimed in surprise. "We have no time to waste, let’s talk earnestly. Don’t worry, no one will harm your granddaughter!" Ye Tianchen interrupted Zhang Yide, smiling and glancing at Zhang Ruotong standing behind him. At this moment, Zhang Ruotong gently tugged at her grandfather Zhang Yide’s sleeve, glanced at Murong Xin sitting in a specially made wheelchair, and kindly said, "Grandfather, please save her, she’s so pitiful!" Zhang Yide turned and looked at his granddaughter. He truly did not want to intervene and cure Murong Xin’s poison. It wasn’t that he lacked the compassionate heart of a healer, but the difficulty in curing Murong Xin’s poison was such that it could endanger someone else’s life. In Zhang Yide’s view, every life was equal. Sacrificing one life to save another did not align with a healer’s ethic; it was rather demonic. "Do you really want to use this method? You could die!" Zhang Yide suddenly looked at Ye Tianchen and asked. "Is there any other way? Of course, I have my conditions..." Ye Tianchen said with a casual smile. "What conditions?" Zhang Yide asked. "If I help you cure Murong Xin of her poison, then you must help me cure someone, only you can do it!" Ye Tianchen said earnestly. "You should try to survive first..." Ye Tianchen glanced at Zhang Yide, confident that he would never guess that Zhang Yide was the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand he was looking for because just now, when Murong Yudou was about to attack his granddaughter Zhang Ruotong, Zhang Yide’s whole body burst out with a powerful superpower that even Ye Tianchen was surprised by. Such a superpower expert, hidden and powerful with superb medical skills, who else could it be but the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand? "Let’s play a game of chess. I believe that after we finish, all the preparations will be ready!" Ye Tianchen looked at the Gomoku board on the stone table and smilingly said to Zhang Yide. "Ruotong, go and get ready, clear out the pharmacy, fill the large wooden barrel with hot water, and bring out my golden needle box!" Zhang Yide was momentarily stunned before he instructed his granddaughter behind him. Zhang Ruotong looked at Ye Tianchen and then quickly ran into the house. Following the instructions of her grandfather Zhang Yide, she started heating water, organizing the pharmacy, and took out the golden needle box. Ye Tianchen and Zhang Yide sat across from each other at the stone table, with Murong Yudou and Hei Mian standing beside them, watching the two play chess. It must be said that Murong Yudou is truly an impressive figure, quickly calmed his temperament, and no longer impulsive. He knew that the only choice now was to trust Ye Tianchen, believing that he could save his granddaughter. The black and white stones were placed; the Gomoku game began. Zhang Yide made the first move. When it was Ye Tianchen’s turn to place his stone, he suddenly stood up, smiling at Zhang Yide and said, "It seems I forgot something, hang on!" After speaking, Ye Tianchen left his seat and walked over to Murong Xin, who was leaning against a wheelchair—an extraordinarily beautiful young woman, now pale and on the brink of death, making anyone who saw her feel pity. Ye Tianchen squatted in front of Murong Xin and smiled, "Are you afraid of dying?" "Not afraid!" Murong Xin opened her weak eyes, looked at Ye Tianchen, and despite being unfamiliar with this man, he gave her a sense of security, a genuine sense from within. "Since you’re not afraid, then die sooner to avoid the pain!" As he spoke, Ye Tianchen gently slapped Murong Xin’s chest. Soon after, Murong Xin closed her eyes, and black blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, shocking Murong Yudou, Hei Mian, and Zhang Yide. "You..." Murong Yudou was just about to say something but was interrupted by Ye Tianchen. "Since you trust me, don’t speak. If your granddaughter really dies, you can explode then!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to Murong Yudou. After returning to his seat across from Zhang Yide, Ye Tianchen didn’t immediately say anything to Zhang Yide but continued playing chess. Five minutes later, Zhang Yide lost the game because Ye Tianchen had used a do-or-die strategy that left Zhang Yide staring at Ye Tianchen in disbelief. "So you really intend to use this method; do you not care about your own life? It’s not just a game of chess, but a nearly unsolvable poison!" Zhang Yide looked at Ye Tianchen and asked. "I believe with your medical skills, Senior, and our powerful collaboration, the poison can be cured!" Ye Tianchen confidently smiled and said. "There really aren’t many young people as strong and confident as you in this world!" Zhang Yide said, hinting at more in his words. "Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, I believe you won’t tarnish your reputation. You and I are the same kind of people, I trust you understand!" Ye Tianchen earnestly looked at Zhang Yide and said. "You... you really are... Hahaha, it’s incredible to have someone as strong as you in China, so young, I believe you won’t die young, there are still many things waiting for you to do!" Zhang Yide suddenly laughed out loud. Murong Yudou and Hei Mian, present at the scene, couldn’t understand the conversation between Ye Tianchen and Zhang Yide, but it seemed that the two were enjoying their conversation and had reached some sort of agreement. One was a Divine-level superpower expert who had survived the apocalypse, and the other was a rare medical superpower user even during the apocalypse. Both were extremely powerful. Could they solve this usually fatal poison? (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to recommend and vote monthly at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
