Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1669 - 1674: All for Nothing

"Don't be so anxious, old sir, let me slowly explain Young Master Murong's situation.""Alright, alright! Don't let the young master be frightened."

Uncle Fu waited for two months without any news of Murong Nan.

He did not have high hopes for this young master.

He feared that an accident might happen on the road, leaving nothing behind.

Now seeing Xia Liu in the team, how could he not be excited?

"Young Master Murong is now a disciple of the Supreme Palace. As for the assessment on the way, he will tell you about it when he returns to the family."

Xia Liu said with a smile.

"Haha! That's wonderful! When the master knows, he'll surely be very happy!"

Uncle Fu laughed heartily.

Being able to enter the Supreme Palace indicates the young master has potential!

"Wait, that's not right. The young master must have joined Dao Primordial too. How are you able to come out while my young master can't?"

This question perplexed Xia Liu.

But he quickly responded.

"Because the Palace Master assigned me a task, I have to carry it out. This matter is confidential, so I cannot disclose it, old sir."

"So that's the case..."

Uncle Fu nodded.

Dao Primordial assigned Xia Liu a task, allowing him to come out; it makes sense.

While Uncle Fu was sighing, a streak of light flew from the center of Dao Spirit Town.

It finally landed in front of Xia Liu.

"Niechang from Supreme Palace greets the Dao Master!"

"No need to stand on ceremony, Town Mayor. I have matters to attend to, please take care of this old sir. If possible, take him to the Supreme Palace to see Murong Nan."

"Niechang understands!"

Seeing the sudden shock on Uncle Fu's face, Xia Liu's movement technique surged, and he vanished immediately.

"Senior! What did you just call him?"

"Daoist Fellow, perhaps you aren't aware? He's now the Master of Dao Primordial!"

Niechang said proudly.

"What!"

Uncle Fu was shocked to the core.

Xia Liu turns out to be the Master of Dao Primordial!

This is the most terrifying position in the Western Region!

"Shh! The Dao Master dislikes noise and doesn't want too many people to know about this, so please keep it a secret."

Niechang reminded him.

"Oh, I understand!"

Uncle Fu suppressed his surprise.

"You're quite fortunate to meet the Dao Master. Come with me to the Supreme Palace."

Niechang still had a thought.

Xia Liu asked her to take him to the Supreme Palace, perhaps because Uncle Fu knows his identity, so he invites him back as a guest.

Later when his identity can be revealed, Uncle Fu can leave.

Uncle Fu, with his experience, understood immediately under Niechang's invitation.

Now he had no way out.

He must go to the Supreme Palace.

But it's alright.

If the young master is in the Supreme Palace, it's a joyous occasion to go!

Subsequently, Uncle Fu followed Niechang up to the Dao Primordial Supreme Palace.

As night fell, the Imperial City remained bustling.

Inside the Heaven and Earth Tavern.

Xia Liu arrived on the third floor.

He was lucky, as the table he had sat at for over ten days before was still vacant.

After a while, the shop assistant brought some tea.

"It's you, senior!"

"Hmm?"

Xia Liu turned to look, and the speaker was none other than the shop assistant who had once falsely accused him.

Of course, he wouldn't hold a grudge against the shop assistant; in fact, he used his reward to extend his stay by three days and pay for the drinks.

"Honorable guest! I thought I'd never see you again!"

The shop assistant could never forget this.

He was the first one to witness someone survive a disagreement with the Prince.

"Even with me wearing a black robe you can recognize me?"

Xia Liu asked surprisingly.

"Hehe! If it was someone else I might not, but you're etched in my heart, no matter if transformed... cough, cough, cough, anyway I have ways to remember!"

The shop assistant wanted to give himself a few slaps; in his excitement, he almost said something wrong.

"Haha, it's okay, your skill in remembering people is quite impressive."

Xia Liu replied with a smile.

"In our profession, we must retain some memory, thank you for the compliment, customer."

"Alright, if you can offer the answers I seek, I'll grant you a fortune, how does that sound?"

Xia Liu's voice suddenly turned solemn.

"Are you seeking information, customer? If I know it, I surely won't conceal it!"

The shop assistant's attitude was clear.

"Have you seen this person?"

Xia Liu took out the old man's portrait.

With that tuft of goatee, if the old man appeared in Heaven and Earth Tavern, the assistant would remember.

"I have an impression."

"Oh! Tell me quickly!"

Hearing the assistant's reply, Xia Liu nearly jumped up from his chair.

"This old gentleman booked a room for a whole month; he doesn't like talking, and has a very distinctive character. Many staff didn't dare to refill his drink except me."

After carefully examining the portrait for a while, the assistant became more certain, sure he wasn't mistaken.

This old man is indeed that aloof guest!

"When did he book it?"

Xia Liu grabbed the assistant's collar and pulled him closer.

He was excited.

After so many years, he finally got news about the old man!!!

This journey wasn't in vain!

Truly wasn't!

"It was three years ago, precisely. I had just started working at the tavern."

Observing Xia Liu's emotional shift, the shop assistant hurriedly disclosed the details, ignoring his cold sweat.

On hearing this answer, Xia Liu froze.

Three years ago...

That's exactly when the old man disappeared without a trace.

This is not the answer he wanted! Not at all!

After a long silence, Xia Liu slowly released the shop assistant's collar.

"Sorry, I was just excited, he's a deeply important family member to me."

Xia Liu's words carried a hint of melancholy.

This agony is something the shop assistant wouldn't understand.

No one understood!

"It's alright, I can empathize with your feelings, honored guest."

"Hmm, first bring me some wine, then change this outfit."

"Okay!"

The assistant nodded, it was his shift change time anyway, otherwise, he wouldn't agree so readily to Xia Liu's request.

In a short while, the shop assistant brought two large jars of wine.

If not for his usual diligence, management wouldn't allow him to serve so much wine.

"Come drink a few cups with me."

"Is that alright?"

The shop assistant, now in casual clothing, asked with a hint of bitterness.

"Of course it is."

With Xia Liu's approval, the assistant's hesitation vanished, and he grew bolder.

Though after working here for so long, he still remained somewhat reserved.

"What's your name, and how old are you?"

After a few drinks, Xia Liu asked.

"My name is Yang Chen, I just turned twenty-two."

"Oh, you're still young. How did you reach Qi Cultivation level four?"

Uh uh uh...

Startled by Xia Liu's inquiry, Yang Chen paused before saying, "When I was little, I found a book in a shabby hut, then secretly followed its instructions, and unconsciously gained strength..."

Yang Chen briefly recounted his story.

After a while, Xia Liu roughly understood.

Yang Chen was also a child marked by misfortune, growing up in the slums.

Yet he knew that to rise above, one must become strong!

Without Cultivation Resources, he worked in the Imperial City, using his rewards to buy Spiritual Medicine from the pharmacy, hoping only to improve his own strength.

Unfortunately, without a mentor guiding him, he was like a headless fly.

No matter how hard he worked and tried, without any cultivation experience.

All his efforts yielded minimal results.

"It's quite amusing, lacking talent yet still dreaming of being powerful one day."

After a few drinks, Yang Chen began to speak more.

He had never shared these thoughts with anyone.

Chatting with Xia Liu allowed him to self-deprecate freely, venting the pain in his heart.
