Chapter 925: Yue Clan
Wu Zhou helped tuck his brother back to sleep and his room after making sure that everything was alright. As soon as he got out of his brother’s room carrying an empty bowl, the group of doctors tasked to watch over his elder brother were now all kneeling down.
"Didn’t you say that you can cure my brother?!"
"It’s been ten years now! He is not even getting better!"
"Are you bastards sent by those damn elders to end my brother’s life!?"
THUD!
Crackles~
In anger Wu Zhou had thrown the empty bowl on his hand to the ground. He doesn’t need to worry about waking up his elder brother as there is an isolation barrier inside the room. Outside he can do as he wished. The doctors who were kneeling on the floor were all kneeling and no one dared to make a sound as they were afraid that the next thing the master in front of them had grabbed would fly towards them.
It took a while before Wu Zhou calmed his anger and finally was no longer angry. The doctors also noticed this and they had gotten used to it by how many times this had happened before. Moreover, this master never harmed them, he just couldn’t hold back destroying things when he was angry.
"Is there a way to cure my brother?" Wu Zhou asked. He looked so tired as he was busy with keeping the academy running, preventing the elders from taking over his position and at the same time looking for a way to save his elder brother.
A doctor spoke up, "Second Master, we had summoned even the doctors from the Core Region but they couldn’t do anything about the Elder Master’s illness. If there is someone who might cure him then... It’s the divine doctor."
"Divine Doctor? Does that person even exist?!" Wu Zhou questioned.
After all, the existence of the Divine Doctor is mysterious and no one knows if there is a new Divine Doctor after the last one had gone missing for centuries. Even though the reputation of this existence is legendary no one knows where he or she might be. He can be a man or a woman no one knows. However, it was true that there was nothing this doctor couldn’t cure. The Divine Doctor is definitely the only chance for his brother to survive. Unfortunately, he didn’t know where he should start looking.
"Second Master, actually there are rumors about the Divine Doctor. It’s just... I don’t know if it was real or not," another doctor speaks up.
Wu Zhou looked instantly curious. After all, at this point regardless whether these rumors are real or not is a problem. As long as they had an angle to focus on then the chance might be there.
He said, "Tell me everything. I don’t care if it’s just a rumor or anything!"
"Y-Yes... Second Master, you heard about the Pill Tower don’t you? It was said that the pill recipes of that place were from the legacy of the later Divine Doctor and lately there are rumors that the current era’s Divine Doctor had come to that place to check on this legacy. Because of this, a lot of people, even the Yun Clan and the Alchemist Association in the Core Region, are targeting the Pill Tower," said the doctor.
This time a servant spoke up and said, "Second Master, there is more about that news. I heard that the Pill Tower wasn’t an ordinary building but instead it’s a Sentient Tree Spirit. It’s a Ghost Gum Tree which is also called the Tree of Knowledge. This is the true form of the Pill Tower. But because of this a lot of powerful people are gathering. They all wanted to take away the Tree of Knowledge. I wonder if the Pill Tower people can protect this Sentient Tree Spirit?"
Bang!
"Gather people. We will help protect the Pill Tower!" said Wu Zhou.
—
The existence of the Tree of Knowledge had attracted too much attention that even those at the Core Haven had heard about it.
At the Everlasting Moon Empire...
In the Moon Palace’s throne hall, the Moon Emperor Yue Yuya, the Moon Empress Yue Lili, the Crown Prince Yue Leiya and the Second Prince Yue Wuya had gathered once again. As for the twin Moon Princess, they are with their eldest sister-in-law playing with their little nephew and grandparents.
One the news about the Pill Tower, the Sentient Tree of Knowledge had reached the Moon Empire these people had started a family meeting.
The Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya asked, "I’m sure you’ve already heard about what is happening at the Inner Haven’s Pill Tower. What do you guys think?"
"Dad, didn’t the rumors say that the Pill Tower had the legacy of the late Divine Doctor? Isn’t that place practically Xue’er, little sister’s property?" The Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya asked.
The Crown Prince, Yue Leiya said, "There are also rumors that the current Divine Doctor had arrived in the Pill Tower that’s why the real appearance of the Pill Tower was exposed. Doesn’t that mean that Xue’er is already there? We should go and pick her up."
"No. You don’t know your sister’s current personality. You cannot force her to come home with you. If she gets angry then you will regret it," said the Everlasting Moon Empress, Yue Lili.
The Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya said, "Your mother is right. You have met your sister before. Even if it is brief you should have already guessed what kind of personality she has."
"Strong willed, confident, intelligent, decisive and overprotective," the Crown Prince, Yue Leiya, listed.
The Second Prince, Yue Wuya scratched his head and said, "Which of us is not overprotective. That’s in our blood." He is talking about the vengeful nature of those with the bloodline of the Regal Lei Clan.
"But Meimei does listen to advice but whether to do it or not would depend on her. She has a very strong personality. If not, Uncle wouldn’t be plotted by her and signed a contract with that salamander which now cured his illness. If she is not coming home, it means that she has some unfinished business on her side," Yue Wuya said. "But leading a hand should be alright, right?"
"There is no need to worry about her safety. That brat is by her side, according to the intel I have," said Yue Wuya.
The two moon princes frowned. They knew who this brat their father was talking about. The Immortal Sun Emperor and the former husband of their younger sister, at least in their previous life before their current reincarnated self. It can be said that they truly do not trust the Immortal Sun Emperor, it is just that his record with them is truly not good. Yet at the same time, they couldn’t completely blame them.
"Dad, why are you trusting that bastard again? He is the reason why my sister died once in the first place," said Yue Wuya, enraged.
This time even the Crown Prince, who is usually calm, didn’t have a good expression on his face. He also believes that the Immortal Sun Emperor is not a good man for his younger sister. Didn’t he fail his sister once before? How can one be sure that it would never happen for the second time?
Seeing the expressions of their sons, Yue Yuya and Yue Lili, sighed. If not for the fact that they had witnessed how Shen Jueyang had treated their daughter in that Mortal Star, they might have acted the same way as them. However, they had seen how Shen Jueyang was willing to give up almost everything just to stand by the side of their daughter. How much is he willing to keep his promises to them? Like how he is now by their daughter’s side forgetting even his revenge and empire just to accompany her.
Papa Yue massaged his forehead as he watched his second son’s face distort in anger.
"Calm down. They are not yet together. I might have forgotten to tell you but your sister after reincarnation had sealed her heart. The only love she can feel and understand is family love and her care was only for her friends and her people. She cannot understand the love exclusive to two people. Regardless, Shen Jueyang is staying by her side. Waiting. He is willing to wait until she once again opens her heart. If it’s you in Jueyang’s place, are you willing to do such a thing?" The Everlasting Moon Emperor asked.
The Moon Princes had answered their father with silence. The choice the Immortal Sun Emperor had made was something that might never have an answer in the future. It was an unknown future. Even so he is willing to bet everything just for this one gamble. If he wins, he might be able to have a wife; if not , then he can only stay by the side of the woman he loves but cannot love him back. Either way, they will still be together.
