Chapter 751 Fade bellowed in a cold voice, "Considering your backgrounds, this is already a light punishment, asking you to cut off one of your own arms. Or else, you wouldn't even have a chance to speak." "Now, do you want me to do it for you, or would you rather do it yourself?" Fade took a step forward, and a surge of energy burst out from his hands. His positive energy formed a razor-sharp sword in midair. A chill ran down their spines as Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie sensed Fade's strong killing intent. A sense of fear and despair arose within their hearts. At that moment, they could not bother with anything else. They quickly said, "Master Chen, please calm down. We will cut off our arm." After they finished, the two gritted their teeth, wielded their weapons and brought the weapons down on their left arms. At once, two muffled yowls of anguish could be heard. Two arms flew into the air with crimson blood spurting out from it. Their countenance instantly turned pale Seeing this, Fade snorted curtly, and turned his head in the direction of Shelton. Shelton could feel Fade's intense gaze on him even though he had his head down. His body remained the motionless posture of a kowtow on the ground. After glancing at him for a while, Fade waved his hand and murmured in a faint tone, "Get up. I won't punish you since you admit your mistake in time." When Shelton heard this, the intense nerves he felt deep down diminished at once. With much relief, he quickly kowtowed three times to Fade and said, "Thank you, Master Chen. Thank you!" Fade waved his hand and said, "Get up and tell me exactly what happened." Shelton stood up and said with utmost respect, "Master Chen, I'm from the Liu family in Southcloud District. Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie are from the Dark Souls Clan and the Quiet Heart Monastery respectively, which are the two major martial arts associations in Southcloud District." "We are traveling to meet the Yue family in Westamor District. We were invited to the wedding of Yohannes Yue, the brother of Graham Yue, who is the current head of the Yue family. When we bypassed here, we happened to come across." Hearing the familiar words of "Yue family in Westamor District" and "Yohannes Yue", the scenes at the Martial Arts Convention of the five districts appeared vividly to his mind. His curiosity was immediately triggered, so he asked, "Tell me about Harrison Yue's marriage." Shelton quickly said, "We heard that the Yue family had initially arranged a marriage with the Yu family, a famous family of commerce in Westamor District: The marriage is between Yohannes and Melanie Yu, the new generation of the elites of the commerce world. However, at the Martial Arts Convention of the five districts, Yohannes was defeated by you, Master Chen. Speaking of this, Shelton cast a nervous glance at Fade and stopped mid sentence. Fade waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go on." Shelton said, "After Yohannes suffered an at the Martial Arts Convention, the Yue family was furious, they exerted pressure on the Yu family. The Yu family was no match to the Yue family, so they apologized to the Yu family in public. As a result, the Yue family asked the Yu family to hand twenty percent of their property, at the same time, they requested for Melanie to marry Yohannes Hearing this, Fade's eyes turned icy cold as he asked, "You're trying to say that Yohannes forced Melanie to marry him?" Shelton trembled and said, "Well, that seems to be the case. However, I heard that the Yu family also agreed to the marriage. "What!" Fade suddenly burst into anger, and his fiery aura fanned out, causing Shelton, Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie to tremble under the pressure of his momentum "Mr. Chen!" Aaron's voice shook Fade out of his fury. Fade immediately calmed down and gradually retracted his aura. However, the chill on his face did not fade away. Instead, he looked into the distance and whispered in a cold voice, "Yohannes Yue! The Yue family! It seems that the lesson I've taught you before is not enough for you to repell" With that, Fade turned around and left. When he returned to Long City, Fade immediately called Melanie. It turned out that Melanie's mobile phone had been turned off. There was no answer. Fade's expression dropped several degrees as an ominous feeling gripped him. Therefore, he decided to go to the Westamor District in person. Fade explained the situation to his wife, Quin, and made adequate arrangements of the affairs in the Sincere Medicine Center. After that, he set off to Westamor District right away Westamor District was not far away from Dragonville. Fade took the high-speed train for two hours and arrived at his destination in no time. However, Fade did not head for the Yue Family right away. Instead, he dropped by at Thunder Mountain City, which was located in the northeast of Westamor District. Compared to Westamor District, Thunder Mountain City could only be regarded as a medium-sized city. The density of the population here was quite low, and it was not a very hectic city either. However, it was a popular city in Westamor District, right after Yudson City, the capital of Long City. The biggest reason for this was that the Lightning Clan, the second largest martial arts association in Westamor District, was located right within Thunder Mountain City The Lightning Clan was located on the Thunder Mountain in the northwest of Thunder Mountain City. Due to the fame of the Lightning Clan, there were countless people who came here to practice martial arts each year, which indirectly enhanced the economic growth of the Thunder Mountain City to a certain extent. When Fade arrived at Thunder Mountain City in the evening, the whole city was bustling with people in an endless stream and hustle and bustle. Unlike other places, there were a lot of wielders of martial artists in the crowd. This further displayed the influence of the Lightning Clan on the entire Thunder Mountain City As time was getting late, Fade found a decent hotel in the city to settle down. After putting his luggage in the hotel, Fade took a shower and went out to look for a restaurant to quench his hunger. The reason why he didn't eat in the hotel was because Fade had wanted to come out to inquire about the latest news of the Lightning Clan. Before he went to the Yue family, Fade wanted to retrieve the Dragon Source Herb Farm that the Lightning Clan had lost to him. After all, Fade now ran his own medicine center, so he really needed those herbs to concoct medicine to save Jeremy and many other lives as well. Therefore, Fade decided to reclaim the Dragon Source Herb Farm. The best place to obtain information was no doubt the place where all sorts of people mingled at. As he asked around, Fade reached a stall in the night market. The food stall was covered in a pungent smell of char and smoke from cooking, but there were already a lot of people sitting on the crude tables and chairs beside it. They were eating and drinking, bragging and fighting. The night was lively and exciting Fade found an empty table and ordered some barbecue and beer. While taking his own sweet time to eat and drink, he eavesdropped on the conversations of the people around him. Sure enough, the influence of the Lightning Clan was quite great to the locals of Thunder Mountain City. Before long, Fade started hearing many people around him talking about the Lightning Clan. "Recently, there are a lot of outsiders in our city, all the hotels are fully booked." "That's not true. Most of them are from the wealthy. Almost all of them came in luxury cars!" "Don't you know why? That's because the opening day of Dragon Source Herb Farm is just around the corner. It's natural for the wealthy to be here for medicine!" "It turns out that the opening day is nearing. I almost forgot about it. If I could get a herb from the Lightning Clan, how wonderful would it be! I can sell it for a handsome profit "My buddies, stop daydreaming, Average citizens like us don't even stand for a chance to attend such an occasion at all, do we?" "Yes, those who are qualified to attend the occasion are either rich or practice martial arts. Ordinary people like us can only watch on in silent envy "Ah, such tough lives for us!" "Well, buddy, don't be so brooding. Let's drink" Having listened to the discussion of the people around, Fade couldn't help but feel increasingly curious toward the "Opening Day of Dragon Source Herb Farm that they could not stop discussing. He glanced sideway at the table next to him, ready to approach them to enquire more about the opening day However, a figure suddenly scurried toward his table and sat down directly in the empty seat beside him
Chapter 752 The sudden incident made Fade bewildered. He immediately eyed the person beside him in curiosity The person was wearing an oversized shirt with a hat on top, and her face was shielded beneath the shadows. However, judging from her figure, it was evident that she was a young lady. "Miss, you-" Fade was about to ask. The girl quickly made a silencing gesture at Fade. Then, to Fade's disbelief, she approached Fade. She directly held Fade's arm intimately and leaned her head against Fade's shoulder Fade was taken aback by her blatant moves. Deep in his heart, he whispered, "Are the girls in Thunder Mountain City so bold and aggressive?" "Miss, I-" Fade said. However, before he could say anything, the woman lowered her voice and said to Fade, "Someone is after me. Give me a hand. Pretend to be my boyfriend so that they won't discover me." As soon as the girl finished speaking, there was a flurry of footsteps coming from the entrance of the food stall. Several people hurried in, scanning around frantically as though they were after somebody. The girl stole a glance at them and she stiffened. She whispered to Fade, *They're coming Then, the girl leaned closer to Fade. Her soft body went directly onto Fade's arm, and her cheek inched closer to his. She whispered to Fade within a hair's breadth, "Don't let out a sound." As the two closed the distance between each other, Fade finally got to take a clear view of the young lady's face which was concealed under the big hat. The girl was in her early twenties, she was young. The pair of massive bright eyes, small but high nose, and moist cherry red lips made the girl look especially lovely and delicate As though she could sense Fade's gaze on her, the young lady shot a disapproving glare at him and whispered, "Stop looking. You will expose us." At this moment, several people who came in looking for her stalked toward their location. The young lady was overwhelmed with mounting nerves. She plunged herself deeper into Fade's embrace, and her cheek was so close to Fade's that they were almost glued to each other. They could feel each other's hot and humid breaths of landing on their cheeks. After a long while, hearing that it had gone quiet, the young lady retreated a little and asked Fade worriedly, "Have they left?" Fade looked up and found that those people were gone. So, he nodded and said, "Yes." Immediately, the lady breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled sweetly at Fade in gratitude and said, Thank you. I'm leaving. Bye!" As she spoke, the girl attempted to let go and get up from Fade's embrace, However, at that particular moment, a middle-aged man and woman, dressed in good-looking clothes, came over with gloomy faces. "Cherry Xie! Tell me, what are you doing?' "Cherry, we've made an appointment for dinner. How you run away like this?" Upon hearing the voices of the two, the girl, who was close to getting up, quickly sat back and threw herself back into Fade's embrace. She hugged Fade tightly and whispered in a pleading tone, "Don't let go of me." At the sight of this scene, the middle-aged man and women's expressions stiffened as they cast a hostile look toward Fade. "Who are you? Let go of our Cherry." "Let go of her right now, or you'll have to pay for it." At this moment, Fade realized that the couple seemed very familiar with the young lady beside him. They were likely to be her parents. But for the sake of the girl's safety, Fade still asked tentatively, "Who are you?" The two of them immediately answered, "We are her parents. I'd like to ask who you are. Hearing this, Fade looked at the girl in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Is it true? The girl gave a brief nod. Fade was speechless. He let go of his arms and looked up innocently at the middle-aged couple across him. He said, "I don't know her!" "You don't know her!" A hint of anger flashed across the man's face and his tone became a little cold. "If you don't know her, why is Cherry so intimate with you?" For a moment, Fade was at a loss of words. He tried to explain, I'm speaking the truth, I have no idea who she is. She was the one who suddenly rushed over and hugged me." "Brat, how dare you say that when you've taken advantage of my daughter? I must teach you a lesson today, or else you wouldn't learn your lesson!" The woman beside her whipped out her mobile phone and said, "Hello, I'm going to call the police. There's a scoundrel here who is making a move on my daughter. We're at... Hearing this, the girl in Fade's arms couldn't take it anymore. She let go of Fade's arms, stood up, and said, "Mom, stop messing around. He's right, we don't know each other." "If you don't know each other, why did you throw yourself into his arms?" they asked with dark looks. The woman still had her mobile phone out and about The girl pouted, "That's because you sent people to catch me. If I hadn't been pushed into a corner, I wouldn't have simply found someone and jumped into his arms." "You are putting the blame on us!" The woman said in agitation. "We sent someone to find you because you've escaped from the dinner setting with Young Master Lei "We've made an appointment for dinner together tonight. What would they think of us if you ran away like that?" the middle-aged man lectured her angrily The girl pouted and grumbled in sheer dissatisfaction, "I don't care what he thinks of me. I don't like him! But you still asked me to dine with him." "How dare you talk back?! We are doing this for the sake of your grandfather!" the woman shot back. The middle-aged man also tried to persuade the young lady in a deep voice, "Cherry, you are not young anymore. You're aware of your grandfather's current physical condition. If he can't obtain the medicine from the Lightning Clan this time, your grandfather may not be able to hold on any longer. As for Young Master Lei, he has connections with the Lightning Clan. That's why we... "I know, I know that Grandpa is in poor health and desperately needs medicine for his treatment. I also want Grandpa to recover. Even so, you can't force me to date Young Master Lei." The girl was on verge of tears. Seeing their daughter breaking into sobs, the couple's tone softened, but they still held firm on their decision, "We are not asking you to date Young Master Lei. We just want you to dine with him and get acquainted with each other first. You can't even make this tiny sacrifice for your grandfather? The girl's face was masked with a grievance, "Mom, Dad, it's not that I don't want to make sacrifices for Grandpa! You have no idea what type of man Young Master Lei is. When we first met two days ago, he was already trying to make a move on me. And now, you're telling me to dine with him alone, who knows what's going to happen!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man and woman went silent. After a while, the woman said, "I don't think he will do such a thing as Young Master Lei comes from a reputable family after all. It's just a meal, don't think he'd go too far!" Hearing her mother's words, the girl's face was drenched in tears. She retorted in despair, "Why not? You have no idea what kind of obscene he texted me. Are you going to wait until it's too late before you believe what I say?" With this, the girl whipped out her mobile phone and showed them the text messages. When the middle-aged man and woman read the messages, their expressions tensed. Their faces turned sullen. For a long time, they were totally at a loss for words.
Chapter 753 In the end, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh He said to the young lady, "Regardless of that you're coming back with us! Cherry pouted. She wanted to voice an objection. but her mother came over and said in exasperation, "Cherry, don't blame us. We are doing this for the sake of your Grandpa AT the mention of her Grandpa, Cherry had no choice but to give in. She stood up obediently and went over to her parents Seeing this, the middle-aged couple nodded and were ready to leave the food stall with the young lady. Just as she was about to leave, the girl suddenly thought of something. She turned around and walked toward Fade. Standing in front of Fade, the girl bowed to him. She smiled, "I'm sorry, I've troubled you I'm Cherry Xie" Fade was surprised before a faint smile tugged on his lips. He nodded slightly and said, "No worries I'm Fade Chen" "Thank you, Fade!" The girl nodded in gratitude and was ready to leave However, Fade stopped her, "Cherry, wait a minute. The girl turned to look at Fade with curiosity. "Er, Fade, you. Meanwhile, Cherry's parents also tumed to look at him wanly. It seemed that if Fade made any fishy moves, they would rush up and give him a good thrashing However, Fade did not make any inappropriate move. He merely handed Cherry a name card and chuckled. "I am a doctor. If you need any help, you can contact me His words were totally out of Cherry's expectation. It seemed that he had overheard her grandfather's condition After a brief hesitation, Cherry took his name card. She nodded and said, "I will. Thank you, Fade! With that, the girl turned around and walked toward her parents. His parents asked warily, "Cherry, what did he give you? Cherry showed them the name card, "His name is Fade. He is a doctor. He said I can contact him if I need him "A doctor!" When Cherry's parents heard this, they couldn't help but turn to look at Fade in disbelief. However, they later frowned, "We have consulted who knows how many famous doctors You'd better not simply put your trust in a roving doctor Clearly, they did not trust Fade's medical skills at all. They were even doubtful of his identity as a doctor They strongly suspected that this was just a trick of him to accost their daughter. Although Cherry did not have much confidence in Fades medical skills, she carefully kept his name card in her purse After all, Fade mere did so out of goodwill. After Cherry and her parents had left, Fade went on to satiate his rumbling stomach for a while. While he did, he took this opportunity to engage in a lively chat with the other diners around him It didn't take long for Fade to figure out the opening day that they were talking about APK The opening day was apparently a tradition of the Lightning Clan dating back to To many years ago The occasion would be held every four years. When the herbs in the Dragon Source Herb Farm of the Lightning Clan matured the herb farm would be opened for visitors who did not come from this place. They would set up some examinations for the visitors Only those who have passed would be granted entry into the Dragon Source Herb Farm to pick any herb of his desire It was widely known that the Dragon Source Herb Farm was the place where the Lightning Clan carefully cultivated herbs Even the least valuable herbs on the farm were worth millions of yuan on the market, let alone those precious herbs. These rare herbs worth invaluable, and even if one had the money, one may not be able to procure them on the market. Therefore, the opening day of Dragon Source Herb Farm is certainly to attract an influx of people once every four years After all, nobody would want to miss a golden chance to acquire precious medicinal ingredients. There was no harm In trying their luck. ? Fade was fascinated by what he had heard. He went on to ask 'Wouldn't there be a lot of people who'd grab this opportunity? If every one of them takes one Sot plant, can Lightning Clan take it?" When the people in the vicinity heard him, they burst into laughter, "Bro, you think too much. There's no way the Lightning Clan would let everyone go in without having any restrictions? To be able to enter, you are either a practitioner of martial arts or a rich person "Commoners like us have no chance to visit the Dragon Source Herb Farm al That's not it. Even if we could go, we couldn't pass the test anyway" at "That's right. After all, the Lightning Clan spent so much to open the farm, they're not giving out herbs out of kindness, but they are up to something else "Up to something else? What is it?" Fade asked in a casual tone. The others said, "Bro, you are still too young to understand the evil of the world! "Although the Lightning Clan is a powerful and influential martial arts association with a rank of Black Levet, they are no different from ordinary people! They are profiteers who worship money. Why would they organize the opening day years after years if it doesn't benefit them? That's right. Although the Lightning Clans opening day looks just like a giveaway, you must bear in mind that those who are qualified to attend are no ordinary people. If they are given a precious medicine by the Lightning Clan for free, they will certainly remember the favor given by Lightning Clan In the future, whenever the Lightning Clan needs help, they will naturally lend a helping hand to repay the favor, be it financial or authoritative support. This is the true motive of the Lightning Clan Upon hearing this, Fade came to a dawning realization. There was no way Lightning Cian would trade in a losing business. The so called opening day was merely an occasion for them to use the precious herbs of the sect to create a bond with the Influential people. Although he understood why they were doing so, Fade could not control the distaste that had evoked After all the Lightning Clan had already lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to him a few months ago Now, the herb field actually belonged to Fade As a result, the members of the Lightning Clan were using his own property without his knowledge to hold this opening day. It was no different as to using his belongings illegally for their own profit Thinking of this. Fade's eyes turned cold. He snorted inrardly and whispered to himself, "Franklin, oh, Franklin, it seems that you have forgotten my lesson when I'm not here to put a leash on your After he bottomed up his wine, Fade bid goodbye with the folks and returned to the hotel The next day. It was the first day of Dragon Source Herb Farm's opening Fade set off early in the morning and headed for Thunder Mountain Similar to Fade, there were a lot of people heading to the same destination Along the way, Fade met a lot of wealthy businessmen and martial arts practitioners. They were bubbling with much fervor and enthusiasm Fade restrained his positive energy and advanced alone. Halfway through the journey, a loud cry came from behind. "Fade" Fade heard the voice and turned his head around, only to see a small car slowing down behind him. When the door opened, it revealed the pretty face of a young lady She waved her hand eagerly at Fade and greeted him warmly. She was none other than Cherry whom he met at the food stall yesterday When Fade saw Cherry, he smiled and raised his hand to return the wave. Cherry, hello there!" Seeing Fade's friendly response, Cherry continued to wave with a huge grin, "Fade, are you going to the Lightning Clan? Hop on! Come with us
Chapter 754 "Yes, I am going to the Lightning Clan, Fade nodded. Then, he caught sight of the wariness on her parents' expression through the front window So he turned to Cherry and said. "Il pass on the ride, thanks! I will walk there myself Hearing this, Cherry could not help but feit disappointed. However, much to everyone's shock, she immediately opened the car door and jumped haphazardly out of the car that was still moving. This started her parents. They exclaimed. "Cherry, what are you doing? Cherry winked at her parents and smiled, "Mom, Dad, you guys go ahead with driving I'll walk with Fade Since we are already close to the foot of Thunder Mountain, where we'll need to get down and hike the mountain on foot anyway. ril take it as a warm up Cherry's parents were about to say something, but the impatient blare of honks from the drivers behind them shattered the tense atmosphere, forcing them to drive forward When Cherry saw her parents driving away, a cheeky grin appeared on her face She leaned over to Fade and said with a chuckle. Fade, thank you for your help yesterday Fade smiled and said, "You already thanked me yesterday. Besides, it's not a big deal. You dont have to be so courteous." Hearing this, Cherry giggled. She looked at Fade and asked, "Fade, are you really a doctor7 Fade nodded and said, "I'm a doctor in Chinese Medicine "Chinese Medicine? Cherry was a little surprised "You practice Chinese Medicine? Fade read through her mind and couldnt help laughing, He said, "You should change your mindset. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are not all white-bearded old men like what you're thinking right now. There are still a lot of youngsters in this profession seel i thought Chinese Medicine doctors are all old men like what I've seen on dramasi" The little girl stuck her tongue out, giving her a cute and lovely demeanor Then, she stared at Fade with widened eyes and asked tentatively. "Fade, are your medical skills good?" Well, I guess sol' Fade chuckled. When she heard this Cherry couldn't hide the joy on her face. For real? My grandpa is seriously it. It'd be wonderful if you could cure his illness. When Fade heard this, he said, "Tell me your grandpa's symptoms. Who knows I might actually have a way to save him!" At first, Cherry merely bought up the topic as a casual conversation without expecting anything in return After all, she was born with a silver spoon. Her family had employed countless famous doctors locally or from abroad, but none of the could not cure her Grandpa Therefore, her family opted for the last choice, which was to seek for medicine from the Lightning Clan. As for what Fade had just said. Cherry merely treated them as a figure of speech Seeing Cherry's Indifferent attitude toward his words, Fade said, "You can tell me. Even if I can't cure him, maybe i know someone who can Hearing this, Cherry felt tempted. She was thinking that even if Fade couldn't treat her grandpa, as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, he should know many people in the profession such as his seniors, masters and the likes of it. There might be a way out somehow. After all, the more friends you have, the more options you have. Having thought of this, Cherry started telling Fade about her grandfather's condition After listening carefully to her descriptions, Fade pondered for a moment and sald, "To be honest, your grandfather's condition is not as complicated as you think. Just take some ginseng, psyllium husk powder, and wormwood. Fade went on with his list of jargons, only to stop when he noticed Cherry's look of utter puzzlement. He broke into laughter and said, "Well, I'll write down the prescriptions for you. When you go back, you can go to a traditional Chinese medical center to get you the ingredients" Cherry didn't expect Fade to say that he could cure her grandfather's illness. Although she was not really convinced, Fade was being nice. She passed a pen and paper to Fade. Fade jolted down the prescriptions swiftly and handed it back to her Cherry took the prescription and glanced at it Realizing that she couldn't understand a single word on it, she folded the paper and shoved it into her pocket. "Thank you, Fade" Cherry said with delight. - X At this moment, a sneer could be heard. "Cherry, he is a scammer. You don't need to thank him Hearing this, Fade and Cherry whipped their heads in unison and noticed a young man in his late twenties sauntering toward them. The man was dressed in designer clothes. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were slightly raised in complacence. He carried an air of pride around him. Cherry's expression darkened when she saw the man She said coldly, "Hugo Leil Don't meddle into my business The man's last name was Let It did not take Fade long to come to a realization that he must be Young Master Lee, the man Cherry had mentioned yesterday Hearing what Cherry had said, there was a trace of displeasure on Hugo's face. He immediately rebuked, "Cherry I am not trying to meddle but this is a serious matter that concerns your grandfather's illness How will your parents react if they find out that you ve taken an unruly prescription from a lousy conman?" Cherry's face immediately dimmed at his words. She knew only too well that her parents would not believe Fade's prescription at all For a moment, Cherry was frozen, she did not know how to react. Seeing this. Hugo revealed a triumphant grin and continued, 'Cherry, you'd better stay away from this trickster, I've already told you that I know someone in the Lightning Clan who can help you. It take you up the mountain and ask the master of the Lightning Clan for a prescription to cure your grandfather's liness. It's not troublesome While speaking, Hugo approached Cherry and tried to hold her hand, However, Cherry quickly stepped back and steered away from his outstretched hand Without saying another word to Hugo, she turned directly to Fade, "Fade, let's go" Cherry took Fade's hand and scurried forward. Seeing this, Hugo's eyes turned livid with jealousy. He cast a venomous glare at Fade. Quickening his pace, he followed them silently Soon, Fade and Cherry arrived at the foot of the Thunder Mountain At this moment, the atmosphere at the foot of the mountain was as lively as a market. Myriads of luxury cars parked at the foot of the mountain Looking at the crooked lane along the mountain, trails of people akin to a colony of ants could be seen hiking up the mountain In the face of the spectacular nature, we sure looked tiny. When they walked toward the parking lot, Cherry's parents were already there, anxiously looking around for their daughter When they saw Cherry from far, they couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and strode toward their beloved daughter. However, when they saw Cherry walking hand-in-hand with Fade their faces suddenly turned sullen Seeing his parents' expressions, Cherry's heart skipped a beat She quickly let go of Fade's hand and walked toward her parents. "Mom, Dad, L. Before she could finish, her parents pulled a sullen face on them, "What was that? "What?" Cherry preterided to be oblivious His parents said coldly, "Don't play dumb. You and Fade are holding hands. What were you thinking For a moment. Cherry didn't know how to explain it to her parents. At this time, Hugo also came over and greeted Cherry's parents with a cordial smile, "Mt. and Mrs. Xie, nice to meet you!"
Chapter 755 "Hugo!" When Cherry's parents saw Hugo, they beamed in a friendly manner and nodded at him as a form of a greeting They tried changing the subject right away. This was because they had introduced their daughter to Hugo before, so it was inappropriate to be talking about Cherry holding hands with another man in front of Hugo. However, Hugo asked bluntly, "Mr. and Mrs. Xie, I noticed that Cherry seems to be very close to that man. Is he a relative of Cherry's?" When they heard this, their expressions stiffened. They quickly broke out into a flurry of explanation "No, he's not a relative. Just an acquaintance." "An acquaintance? Hugo emphasized the word and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Xie, please don't blame me for being a busybody!" I saw the man writing a prescription to Cherry on my way here. He claimed that this prescription could cure Elder Xie's illness. I was worried that Cherry might have been scammed by him. It's not a big deal to be deceived, but if he wrote a fake prescription that might harm Elder Xie, the consequences will be grave." Hugo said deliberately. His words immediately sent a fury of anger down Cherry's parents. They glared furiously at Cherry. "Is he telling the truth?" Cherry shot a glare at Hugo and tried to explain. "Dad, Mom, Fade is not a conman. He is a Chinese medicine doctor. I told him about grandpa's condition. He was kind enough to give me a prescription." *Chinese medicine practitioner? Kind? How dare he prescribe at such a young age!" "It's not that we've not seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor before. Those old doctors of Chinese medicine personally visited your Grandpa for a detailed check up and diagnosis, yet they did not dare to simply prescribe any medication for him. By merely listening to your description, he came up with a prescription in haste. What is he if not a conman?" Cherry's parents were agitated. Cherry tried to explain further, but her parents were so cynical and agitated that they refused to listen. What's more, they demanded her to tear the paper into shreds Cherry felt wronged. She could only give Fade a look of apology. Fade merely gave her a faint smile, he did not take the matter to heart. He said softly, "Cherry, goodbye. I'll be going first." As he spoke, Fade walked away from them and continued up the mountain. With Fade's departure, Cherry's parents did not press on the topic but headed for the mountain along with Cherry. Hugo followed them. Along the way, he engaged in a lively conversation with Cherry's parents with a polite smile on his face. He even took the initiative to speak to Cherry from time to time, but Cherry simply turned a cold shoulder to him. They walked out of the car park and arrived at the trailhead, getting ready to conquer the mountain. At this moment, there were many people at the trailhead. Some had gone up the stairs and started the climb. However, the majority of them were gathering in an open area in front of the trailhead. They seemed to be engrossed in a hot discussion with fervent enthusiasm As the Xie family and Hugo approached, they noticed a lot of hawker stalls in front of the trailhead, on which there were all kinds of Chinese herbs on sale. The stall owners were yelling non-stop as a means to attract customers. "Don't miss it when you walk by. You'll regret it if you don't buy the herbs of the Lighting Clan!" "I have a special relationship with the Lightning Clan, and these herbs are personally handpicked from Dragon Source Herb Farm itself. They've received positive comments even from Black Level masters. Please come and take a look!" *100,000 yuan for one plant. This is not a con job, you will definitely benefit from buying our goods, drop by for a try!" Hearing these yells and shouts of the vendors, a disdainful smile appeared on his face, and said, "A bunch of liars! Don't mind them." Cherry and her parents did not believe in these so-called precious herbs as well. After glancing around, they shook their heads and were ready to leave. However, Fade, who was in front of them, suddenly stopped and walked toward a tiny stall. Cherry's heart skipped when she noticed Fade heading to the stall. She dragged her parents over and said, "Mom, Dad, let's go over there! "Cherry, Hugo already said that these are." Without waiting for her parents' retort, she quickly interrupted, "Mom, Dad, let's go. We can just have a look, we don't have to buy anything." And so, they made a beeline to the stall This stall was somewhat different from the others. There were very few herbs on sale, and the stall owner did not promote his products like the others did. He merely sat quietly in his place, watching the customer picking at the plants in hushed silence. Someone picked up a herb and asked for the price. The vendor said directly, "One million yuan. The person who asked for the price was startled by the answer and immediately tossed the herb back onto the stall. He said indignantly, "This kind of herb only costs 100,000 yuan in other stalls. You're selling it for a million yuan, which is ten times higher. How can you be so dishonest?" The stall owner was extremely cold and lofty. He merely said icily, "Why don't you buy it at the other stalls." "You- The person who was asking for the price was rendered speechless at his blatant answer Next to him, another person asked, "Could you reduce the price? The vendor said coldly again, "If you want to bargain, go elsewhere." His attitude irritated and deterred the customers, which made his stall seem even more deserted than before. Seeing this, Hugo immediately whispered to Cherry and her parents, "This is a common trick of businessmen. He deliberately put on an indifferent attitude so that everyone will think that his herbs are extraordinary and buy them." I see. If it weren't for you, Hugo, we might have been fooled. Cherry's parents said gratefully Cherry twitched her lips and looked to the other side. Fade was crouching down over there, having chosen a ginseng-like herb. He asked the vendor, "How much is this?" The vendor replied faintly, "Two million yuan!" Hearing the price, Fade didn't say anything, but the people around him started a heated discussion at once. "Oh wow, this is worse. Two million yuan, twice as much as before. "Young man, don't be fooled by him. Almost 99% of the herbs in this kind of stall are fake!" "Young man, there is a similar herb in my stall. I will sell to you with just one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. Come over for a look!" Hearing the discussions around him, the vendor's face was as cold as before, he had no intention to explain or to defend himself. Fade was ignorant of the opinions around him. He nodded and said to the vendor, "Okay, two million yuan. I'll take this one." Upon hearing this, the people around him were stunned. They looked at Fade with dumbfounded eyes. Shortly after, a lot of people started persuading Fade. "Kid, don't buy it. The herb must be fake." "Young man, why won't you listen? It's fake. Don't be fooled!" Amidst the bombardment of frenzied voices, Cherry was overwhelmed with consternation. She looked at Fade quizzically. In her opinion, since so many people were questioning its authenticity, there must be something wrong with it. Hugo sneered and said, "Ha-ha, a guy who never listens. I don't know whether to call him stubborn or stupid! Cherry's parents also shook their heads in disapproval. They dragged their daughter back and warned her in a low voice, "Don't mingle with him anymore." "But." Cherry wanted to rebuke, but she suddenly did not know what to say. Hugo continued to ridicule him and said, "Don't tell me that guy is trying to cheat for herbs now? After all, he was spurting nonsense to Cherry before, maybe he has other schemes now." Hearing this, Cherry's parents were somewhat curious and whispered among themselves, "That's right. Fade doesn't seem like someone who can afford two million yuan!"
Chapter 756 The vendor's indifferent attitude and Fade's bizarre move of buying a single herb for two million had attracted heaps of attention Many eyes landed on them, with clamor of opinions lavishing on them. However, Fade paid no heed toward their opinions. Instead, he took out his wallet, ready to pay by card. The ginseng in the stall was definitely not an ordinary one, but a very rare Fire Blaze ginseng. Ginseng was a great tonic, but it normally grew in shady areas, so it was inevitable that it'd carry some Yin energy with it. However, this ginseng was different from the average ginseng. It grew up in a place full of sunlight. Therefore, there was no cold energy in it. Naturally, the nourishing effect was ten times higher than that of the average ginseng. This kind of Fire Blaze gin was exceptionally rare due to the limitation of its growing environment. And it was the best thing to treat Quin's Ice Lotus illness or as a tonic for Jeremy Therefore, when Fade heard that it cost only two million yuan, he was ready to pay for it without a second thought. After all, this kind of rare gem was hard to come by. Not to mention two million yuan, even if it was twenty million yuan, it was still worth it. If he hadn't come across it by luck today, he'd not be able to get one even if he had the money Thus, Fade ignored the teases and ridicule from the crowd and was set on purchasing it Just as Fade was about to pay the bill, a figure suddenly came forward and said, "Wait a minute, I'd like to take a look at this herb." Hearing this, the vendor and Fade turned to look at the newcomer. The man was about 28 years old. He was wearing an ancient long robe with a hair bun. He looked like an elegant young man from the ancient times. In addition, the man was attractive, his skin was fair, one could not help but to relate him to the famous Chinese term, "a young man as beautiful as jade All at once, all the young ladies around eyed him with interest. They looked at him longingly in a daze, Even Cherry was looking unconsciously at the eye-catching, elegant young Such a situation made Hugo, who was right next to Cherry, on tiptoe. He thought to himself, "I've just gotten rid of Fade Chen, here comes another gigolo. This is really annoying!" Just as everyone was marveling at the handsome young man, the center of attention was looking at the Fire Blaze ginseng in great detail. A hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes. He reached out to pick up the ginseng as he asked, "How much is this herb? I want it." The vendor was still as indifferent as before and said, "Two million yuan!" After listening to this price, the elegant young man with a smooth face didn't hesitate at all. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it" As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hand. Behind him, there was a follower who seemed like a servant immediately stepping forward to pay the bill. This made Fade frown. He said coolly, "Wait a minute, I had my eyes on this herb before you and I was in the midst of paying the bill. Having heard this, the elegant young man turned to look at Fade thorough once over. Then, a strange light flashed across his eyes as he said firmly, "I'm buying this!" As he said so, there was a deliberate emphasis in his tone along with an air of confidence as if the herb was destined to be his. Fade hated such self-righteous people the most. He pulled a long face, he did not intend to argue with him anymore. He looked directly at the vendor and handed over his bank card. He said, "Here's the money. I'll take the herb." Seeing that the stall owner was about to take the money from Fade, the elegant young man panicked and shot Fade a glare of displeasure. Then, he turned to the stall owner and said, "How much money did he pay? I'll pay more." The vendor's cold expression changed slightly for the first time. He said, "He paid me two million yuan. Hearing this, the elegant young man revealed a confident smile and said, "T pay two million two hundred thousand yuan, sell it to me." Hearing this, the vendor rolled his eyes but remained silent. Instead, he turned to look at Fade. Clearly, he wanted Fade to bid. Although Fade disliked the stall owner's sudden change of attitude, Fade was willing to purchase the Fire Blaze ginseng at a higher price, since it was not easy to come by As such, Fade said directly, "Two million five hundred thousand yuan!" As soon as the bid was made, the elegant young man was shocked, he looked at Fade in surprise. It seemed that he didn't expect this ordinary-dressed guy to be able to afford such a massive sum and to compete with him at that. After a brief moment of hesitation, the elegant young man raised the price. *Two million eight hundred thousand yuan!" Fade's face remained unchanged and he immediately raised the bid. "Three million!" All the onlookers were dumbfounded by the scene of the fierce and incredible bidding between the two men. They watched in total disbelief and once again started discussing fervently among themselves. *The herb only costs one hundred thousand yuan. But they are willing to buy it at three million, and the price is still on the rise, are they crazy?" "Do we have so many wealthy people nowadays?" "Is there really something extraordinary about that herb? "However, it just looks like any other ginseng to me!" Amidst all the wild guesses and heated discussions of the crowd, Cherry and the gang were also thunderstruck. Cherry's parents didn't expect that someone would be willing to pay such a high price for an unremarkable item. Moreover, there was a fierce bidding going on at this moment. Hugo was even startled by what he witnessed. He frowned and said, "Fade must have invited this guy as an accomplice for his scam!" After all, in Hugo's eyes, Fade and that pretty boy were good-for-nothings. So, he naturally thought that they were up to no good. When Cherry heard this, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Stop thinking that everyone is as horrible as you! You're absurd!" Hugo's face distorted. He tried to think of something to defend himself. Right at this instance, his attention was attracted by the bidding between Fade and the elegant young man that had intensified. The elegant young man said, "I offer four million and eight hundred thousand yuan!" After that he stared at Fade with a fiery gaze. In his opinion, although this herb was valuable was not worth buying if it goes five million. Hence, he was gazing at Fade at this moment to convey a hint of threat to him. On the other hand, he wanted Fade to think wisely before he acted, so that he would not behave rashly But he had obviously underestimated Fade's capability. When he heard the offer, Fade raised the bid again without hesitating. "Five million!" Having heard this figure, not only the onlookers were aghast, but the elegant young man was also taken aback. He gritted his teeth and glared furiously at Fade, "Why must you go against me? Do you know who I am?" Fade glanced at him indifferently and said in an icy tone, "I don't care who you are. I'm only aware of the fact that if you want to buy something, you must be able to pay. If you can't afford it, get out of here." "You!" The elegant young man had never been humiliated by anyone on the basis of money. He was so furious at what Fade had said, his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He shot a hateful look at Fade and gnashed his teeth. "I offer five million five hundred thousand yuan."
Chapter 757 This time, he added 500,000 yuan right away as a means to intimidate Fade However, he had miscalculated. Fade didn't care about this mere sum at all. He frowned slightly and waved his hand casually, "6,500,000 yuan. "It's no fun at all raising the bid little by little. Don't bid if you don't have money. After this, no matter how much you bid, I will raise it by a million! His words caused the crowd around them to gasp. Although most of them who were present were rich, no one was willing to spend so much money on an ordinary herb from a stall. Moreover, Fade had said that no matter how much the elegant young man offered, he would raise the bid by a million This was no longer a purchase, but throwing money extravagantly. For a moment, everyone looked at Fade in shock. It was hard to believe that a man dressed in ordinary clothes was this lavish. The young man was so angry he gnashed his teeth. He glared at Fade, he even felt like making a bid to get back at Fade, making Fade pay at a much higher price However, as he was about to bid, he was worried that Fade was just provoking him to place a bid. If he placed a higher bid and Fade stopped bidding, this would detriment the young man. Although the young man was rich, he had his limits after all. He could not casually spend so much on this one herb. Thinking of this, the young man gritted his teeth and shot Fade a hard glare. In the end, he turned on his feet and stormed off the stall. Finally, he withdrew from the bidding. The final price reached an unexpected 6,500,000 yuan The vendor looked at Fade, waiting for him to pay. The rest of the people around also looked at Fade, seemingly curious to see if Fade's piggy bank held water. Under everyone's gaze, Fade handed his bank card over without a second thought and swiped the card on the vendor's machine. Some onlookers with sharp eyes were surprised to see the series of numbers behind the bank card's balance on the machine. There were at least nine digits. That was to say, Fade's assets were at least within the scale of billions.Chapter 757 This time, he added 500,000 yuan right away as a means to intimidate Fade However, he had miscalculated.

Some onlookers with sharp eyes were surprised to see the series of numbers behind the bank card's balance on the machine. There were at least nine digits. That was to say, Fade's assets were at least within the scale of billions. In turn, everyone viewed Fade in a new light. Disbelief was written all over their faces. Hugo, who had maliciously speculated that Fade was a swindler just now, had a weird expression on his face. This was because, even if he was the Young Master Lei with a household asset of dozens of billions, he would not simply put a couple of billions in his card. Cherry's parents were also flabbergasted. They didn't expect Fade to be an ultra rich man! For a moment, Hugo stood still. He couldn't say a word. He could only stare with a face of unwillingness and malice, "You have money, so what? You spent so much to buy an ordinary herb. You've been cheated. How could you still be hovering around in delight? Ridiculous!" Hearing this, Cherry's parents seemed to have found a reason. They nodded as if they were comforting themselves and whispered among themselves. "Hugo is right. Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this!" That's right. At such a young age, he spent so much of his parents' hard-earned money. He's not being considerate of his parents' circumstances at all. Tsk tsk!" Just as they were exclaiming, the vendor handed the Fire Blaze Ginseng to Fade. He then took out a herb that looked like a withered tree root and gave it to Fade. He said, "Young man, I'm thankful that you were willing to pay so much. I found this together when I dug out the ginseng. I'll give it to you for free." As he spoke, the vendor handed Fade the herb that looked like a withered tree root When Fade saw the herb in his hand, his eyes lit up. A trace of glee flashed across his face This was because the ordinary looking root was an lcy Boehmeria. Boehmeria was a herbal medicine with a cooling effect, which was the total opposite of a nutritious ginseng. Like the Fire Blaze Ginseng, this Icy Boehmeria was a rare mutation. Its effect was much better than that of an ordinary Boehmeria. It was also extremely hard to acquire. Its value was not less than that of the Fire Blaze ginseng. The vendor said that the two were dug out at the same time, this would mean that the Icy Boehmeria and the Fire Blaze Ginseng were likely grown together. Herbs that were Yin and Yang that grew together had a better effect than what Fade would expect. If they were consumed together, it would have a better effect on specific illnesses. Thinking of this, Fade was delighted. He didn't expect to get anything extra from buying the Fire Blaze Ginseng. After thanking the vendor, Fade stashed the two herbs away and was ready to leave When the people around saw this, some were exclaiming, some were bewildered, and some were gasping. However, most of them couldn't understand why Fade bought the ordinary-looking herb at such a high price. What was his intention? Or was he simply dumb and innocent? Just as everyone was shaking their heads in confusion, the elegant young man, who was about to leave, turned his head at the last moment and saw the withered tree root taken out by the vendor. At that moment, his eyes lit up. He also recognized at a glance that the withered root was no ordinary herb at all, but the extremely rare Icy Boehmeria. At the same time, he immediately realised that the ginseng that grew with the Icy Boehmeria was definitely no ordinary ginseng. It was very likely to be the precious Fire Blaze Ginseng. Both of them were so rare one could not find it easily even if he's rich. If anyone of them appeared on the market, it would easily cost more than 20 to 30 million yuan But now, Fade had only paid 6,500,000 yuan to acquire both Into his possession. The elegant young man was so envious his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. Seeing that Fade was about to pack up the herbs and leave, the young man immediately rushed over to block Fade's path. When Fade saw him coming over, he moved his eyes and said in a cold tone, "What do you want?" The young man looked at Fade and said, "Sell me your medicine!" Fade looked at him with some amusement and said firmly, "Not for sale." With this, Fade was about to leave. Seeing this, the young man was a little anxious. He stopped Fade and said, "Sell it to me. I'll pay a high price!" "I said, not for sale!" Fade still refused coldly, "On a side note, do I look like I'm short of money?" The young man's face fell. He quickly said, "I don't want that ginseng, I just want that withered branch." Before Fade could refuse, he immediately said, "I'll pay 2 million. Two million for that withered branch." As soon as the price was announced and Fade was yet to speak, the people around him were already aghast. Especially Cherry and the others, who were not far from Fade, who this scene unfolded with incredulity. They couldn't figure out why the young man was willing to pay so much money for a withered branch. However, although the price was excessive in their way, Fade still went on to reject it with an icy "not for sale"
Chapter 758 The elegant young man gritted his teeth and went on to increase the price. He said, "), Jerry Lin, will not back down. I'll double the price. Four million for your withered branch! His actions once again shocked Cherry and the others. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief as if they could not believe what was happening in front of them. At this moment, Hugo couldn't help but say to Jerry, "Hey, don't be fooled by that guy. What's the point of fighting over a dead branch? With such an extravagant price of four million, you could easily buy it elsewhere!" Jerry glared at Hugo and said coldly, "You don't know anything. Don't interrupt. Hugo was told off and looked a little unhappy. He couldn't help saying, "We came here with that guy. There is nothing we don't know. Let me tell you, that guy is not a good person at first glance. Maybe he is colluding with the vendor to cheat people like you." After Hugo finished speaking, Cherry's parents couldn't help but backed him up, "Yes, kid, it's not easy to make money. You must be alert!" At this moment, Jerry shot them a hard glare. He felt that these commoners were ignorant. That withered branch was an Icy Boehmeria. Its value easily went beyond 30 million yuan. If he could buy it, he could make a fortune However, he could not voice his thoughts out loud. He could only say, "I am in urgent need of that herb. So long as you are willing to sell it to me, the money is not a problem." Fade looked at Jerry and shook his head without a word. Fade knew that he must have recognized the Icy Boehmeria and Fire Blaze Ginseng. Otherwise, he would not have U-turned back to buy them. Thinking of this, Fade did not waste time, he cut to the chase, "Since you said that the price is not a problem, fine then. 50 million yuan for each of them. 1 billion in total. I will sell them to you if you pay up." As soon as the price was announced, Jerry's face paled, he was rendered speechless. At this moment, Cherry's parents and Hugo burst into an uproar and started shouting "1 billion? How dare you, a liar, ask for so much!" "Kid, don't be fooled by him. Let's go." "It's totally bullsh*t." Jerry's face was gloomy. He looked at Fade and said, "I genuinely want to buy it. For you to offer such a price, you're not respecting me at all." "Respect?" Fade sneered. He looked at Jerry and said, "Why don't you just admit that you want to make a fortune? How dare you talk about respect." "What do you mean?" Jerry felt something was off and he asked nervously, Fade sneered and said, "Do you really think that I have no idea that these are the Icy Boehmeria and the Fire Blaze Ginseng? Or did you really treat me as a fool and you're trying to take advantage of me?" "You, you knew!" Jerry obviously didn't expect Fade to be aware of these two herbs, and his face changed greatly "Don't treat everyone like they are fools" Fade said coolly Jerry's face fell, "Since you knew, you shouldn't have offered to sell them at 50 million each. This is too far-fetched. The market price is around 25 to 30 million each." Fade looked at him and said, "Did I say that I'm selling? Besides, even if you can afford it, do you think you'd be able to find them on the market?" "I-" Jerry was speechless. At this time, the people who overheard the conversation were shocked. The atmosphere was instantly filled with heated discussion. Hugo was puzzled and said, "What? What Boehmeria, what Fire Blaze Ginseng? How can it be so valuable?" "Yes, a herb that costs 20 million yuan. What kind of herb is that? Is it made of gold?' Cherry's parents queried in bewilderment. Some people beside them heard what they said and could not help sneering. "Commoners like you don't know jack about the world of martial arts, you shouldn't be spurting nonsense. "To a martial arts practitioner, gold is valueless. Nothing is as valuable as these rare herbs!" "In the eyes of martial arts practitioners, those two herbs are extremely effective medicine. It's natural for them to reach a bid of tens of millions!" "What's more, that's just the opening price. Now, the two herbs are scarce. If you take them to an auction, the price of 50 million yuan each is not absurd at all. It could go even higher" "That young man has a good eye. He was extremely lucky "Yeah, why didn't we see through it just now?" Listening to the discussions of the people around, Cherry's parents and Hugo were utterly dumbfounded. They looked at Fade in disbelief. "Tens of millions for a martial arts practitioner's medicinal ingredient!" *h-it's worth so much. He really has a good eye!" Cherry was full of jumping in glee. She glanced at Hugo and scoffed icily, "A few moments ago, someone even called him a liar, but they turned out to be ignorant ones, humph!" Hugo's face turned pale, but he couldn't refute her words. He could only look in Fade's direction At this time, Fade shot a glance at Jerry and was about to leave. At the sight of this, Jerry was unwilling to give up. His face darkened as he rushed toward Fade again. He stopped Fade and said, "I want to buy the herbs." Fade frowned impatiently and said, "Is there something wrong with your ears? I've already told you that I won't sell: Jerry's face darkened. He lowered his voice and said in a cold voice, "I, Jerry Lin, am a disciple of the White Jade Palace. I want to buy the herbs right now." The White Jade Palace!" Fade frowned and his eyes flickered slightly. He went silent as if he was thinking about something. Upon seeing this, Jerry smiled and looked at Fade in delight. He wore a confident expression on his face. However, just as he was puffing up with delight, Fade shook his head and said coldly to him, "I've never heard of the White Jade Palace. Even if I have, I won't sell it. Hearing such words, Jerry's face darkened. He glared at Fade and said in a cold voice, "Are you sure you don't want to sell it? Listen carefully, I'm a disciple of the White Jade Palace!" Jerry deliberately slowed down his pace and emphasized the words "White Jade Palace". His expression was also filled with a threatening chill as he glared at Fade. At this moment, the people around them heard Jerry mention the name "White Jade Palace", and their expressions changed. They were shocked and began to talk about it "I can't believe he's a disciple of the White Jade Palace. No wonder he's so elegant!" "A disciple of the White Jade Palace! Young man! Hurry up and sell it. Don't butt heads with him!" That's right. The White Jade Palace holds the power of the Black Level. You can't afford to mess with them."
Chapter 759 At this moment, when Cherry's parents and Hugo heard the discussion around them, they were surprised and looked at Jerry in shock. They were businessmen, they didn't know much about the Martial Arts world. However, they still knew what Black Level meant. The Lightning Clan was at the Black level, while the White Jade Palace and the Lightning Clan were at the same level. This would mean that Jerry was no ordinary man. He was likely to possess extraordinary ability in martial arts. Thinking of this, their expressions tightened. Immediately, Hugo and Cherry's parents couldn't help but approach Jerry. Obviously, they wanted to cury favor with him! Cherry on the other hand, looked at Fade with a concern in her eyes. She wanted to persuade Fade. However, before she could move, her parents immediately pulled her back with a vigilant look. At the same time, they warned her in a low tone, "Stop having any contact with that guy anymore. He won't have a good end if he offends the people in a martial arts clan." "But." Cherry frowned However, her parents directly glared at her and said, "No buts. Say no more. Stay with us. You are not allowed to run around without our permission." Cherry's parents held her back from both sides, Jerry looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd around him as the smug look he was wearing intensified. He looked at Fade and said again, "I'll take the lcy Boehmeria and the Fire Blaze Ginseng!" When he said this, he ordered Fade with a condescending attitude, as if Fade must sell it to him Fade looked at the self-righteous man, shook his head with a ridiculous smile, and went straight up the mountain without a word. He didn't want to heed to him at all. Jerry didn't expect Fade to be so disrespectful to him. He shouted coldly, "Didn't you hear that? I told you to sell the herbs to me." Fade frowned unhappily and said to Jerry, "I've already made myself clear. I won't sell it, and you're still pestering me. Why are you so annoying? *You." Jerry's face darkened and he clenched his fists. He waved his hand in front of Fade and threatened, "Kid, you'd better think it over. I'm a disciple of the White Jade Palace. You can still make some money if you sell them to me. If change my mind, you might not even get a penny" Hearing this, Fade curled his lips and said to Jerry, "Are you saying that you're going to forcefully take it from me? Try it if you dare." When Jerry saw Fade's look of nonchalance, his handsome face suddenly reddened with anger. His eyes darkened as he said in a deep voice, "I'll teach you a lesson, you punk. I'll put you back in your place, Seeing that Jerry was about to attack, Cherry was really anxious. She wanted to rush out to stop him. However, Cherry's parents were prepared for such a scenario. They stopped her and shouted coldly. "What did we tell you, you're forbidden to have anything to do with that guy anymore!" "You can't get involved in this. If we accidentally piss off a martial arts practitioner from a Black level Clan, our family will be finished!" At this time, Hugo also spoke. "Cherry, you don't have to worry about that kind of person. Jerry is a disciple of a Black level Clan, He was willing to buy it from him. However, he refused without considering the consequences. Now he has angered Master Lin, he brought it upon himself." "You're the one who deserves it!" Cherry glared at Hugo before she turned her head angrily. She refused to see what was going to happen. As she was still worried about Fade, she couldn't help but look this way to check on Fade's condition. At this point, Jerry's fist was ready. He was charging up his energy. He was about to swing his fist at Fade. Fade's eyes narrowed. He slightly shifted his body and changed his stance to face the side, so it was easier for him to take in the attack Just as the fight was about to break out, a loud shout came from the side. "What are you doing?" Hearing the voice, everyone looked toward the direction of the voice and saw a man in his late 20s, wearing a dark blue robe, walking over. At the sight of the man's dressing, everyone was shocked. Many of them even knelt down. This was because he was from the Lightning Clan. Even Jerry had retracted his attack when he saw the arrival of the people from the Lightning Clan. He explained, "Senior Brother, there are some disputes between me and this man about some medicinal herbs. I was just about to teach him a lesson The Lightning Clan disciple waved his hand unhappily and said, "This is the foot of the mountain of the Lightning Clan. No matter what kind of dispute you have, you are not allowed to mess around here. Or else, you won't be allowed to go up the mountain. Leave now." Hearing this, Jerry's face fell. However, he immediately smiled and explained, "Senior Brother, I'm Jerry Lin, a disciple of the White Jade Palace. My senior and master have already gone up the mountain, I was just running late because of some matters at hand." After hearing Jerry's identity, the Lightning Clan disciple facial expression slightly changed and he said in a better tone, "I didn't realize you were a junior from the White Jade Palace. However, today is the Opening Day of the Dragon Source Herb Farm of our Lightning Clan." "The Guardian and the Elders have instructed us to ensure the safety and stability of the opening day. They dont want to see any accidents today. I hope you understand." Jerry was silent for a while. He glanced at Fade and shot him a warning look before saying to the Lightning Clan's disciple. Thank you for the reminder. Since it's the rule of the Lightning Clan, I'll obey it. My personal affairs will be dealt with later." A smile appeared on the disciple's face. He nodded at Jerry and said, "Junior Lin, thank you for your understanding. The opening ceremony of the Dragon Source Herb Farm is starting soon. I'll take you up the mountain. "I'll have to trouble you then, thank you" Jerry immediately thanked him and followed him Cherry's parents immediately followed them. Whereas Fade walked up at a calm pace. Along the way, Jerry got close to the Lightning Clan disciple and began to greet him with a smile. "Senior Brother, may I know your honorable name? Who is your master?" Upon hearing this, the Lightning Clan disciple smiled and said, "Honorable name? Don't be so polite. My name is Joseph Min. I'm an apprentice under Master Tyrion Chien. When Cherry's parents heard these names, they didn't know much about them so they didn't have any special reaction. However, Jerry's expression changed instantly and he said with a smile, "So you're Master Chien's disciple: I've heard from my master that he's very powerful. He's only second to Guardian Chang from the Lightning Clan. Since you are able to learn from Master Chien, you must be highly talented and skilled. You are admirable!
Chapter 760 Hearing this, Joseph waved his hand and said, "Jerry, you're being polite. You're the disciple of Laurant Pal, the Guardian of White Jade Palace. That's really amazing! " "You're too modest, Senior Joseph. As compared to you, I'm nothing." Jerry said politely Jerry, you're too modest. Guardian Laurant is a master at the late-stage of Black Level. You're his disciple, you must be powerful." Joseph said with a smile. The two of them flattered each other, talking and laughing. They were almost beaming at each other's flattery. Hearing these, Cherry's parents and Hugo, who were standing behind them, couldn't help but be moved. They kept glancing forward. Obviously, they wanted to get acquaintanced with them. Cherry's parents thought for a moment, before pushing Cherry forward, "Cherry, you're about the same age as Jerry and Joseph. Talk to them Cherry pouted unhappily and said, 1 don't have anything to talk about with them. They are only interested in boasting about themselves. They're so pretentious. It's disgusting." Hearing this, Cherry's parents were shocked and quickly scolded in a low voice, "Don't say that. Didn't you hear it just now? Jerry's master is the Guardian of White Jade Palace while Joseph's master is an elder of the Lightning Clan. "Those people are all important figures, and their disciples are definitely not ordinary. It's certainly beneficial for you to get acquaintance with them." Cherry pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to have anything to do with them! Her parents' faces darkened. They were about to reprimand her. At this time, Hugo said, "Cherry, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Elder Xie. Both of them are disciples of the Black Level forces. If you have a good relationship with them, it will be easier for you to ask for the medicine to cure your grandfather's illness." At the mention of her grandfather's illness, Cherry's expression suddenly changed. She fell silent and looked a little hesitant Seeing this, her parents hurried to persuade her. "Cherry, Hugo is right. We came here to look for the medicine for Grandpa. You must mingle with these martial artists." "That's right, Cherry. Grandpa loves you the most since you were a child. For grandfather's sake, can't you do such a small thing?" Hearing their persuasion, Cherry looked forward with a hesitant expression, When she saw Jerry and Joseph talking and laughing, she instinctively frowned. She didn't really like them. At this time, Hugo and Cherry's parents began to persuade Cherry again. When Cherry was hesitating, she suddenly thought of the prescription that Fade had previously written for her. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She took out the prescription and turned her head toward Fade's direction When her parents saw this, they couldn't help but ask with a gloomy face, "Cherry, what are you doing?" Cherry took out the prescription and said, "Fade gave me a prescription before, saying that it can cure Grandpa's illness. With this prescription, there's no need to ask for.. Hearing Fade's name, Cherry's parents' faces immediately changed and they shouted at her at once. "Cherry, didn't I tell you to throw that liar's prescription away? Why are you still keeping it?" "Cherry, when did you become so disobedient?" Hugo also joined in and said, "Cherry, don't be fooled by him. He wrote the prescription without any real thought. What if the prescription did not heal him but made things worse instead?" *That's right. Give me the prescription. You can't keep it anymore!" Her parents snapped. Cherry didn't want to hand over the prescription and wanted to hide it, but her mother moved faster. She grabbed the prescription and tore it into pieces without even looking at it. Seeing this, Cherry's eyes were filled with tears. She cried, "Why are you doing this? Fade is a good man. He won't lie to me. You." At this moment, Fade, who was walking behind, caught up with them. When he saw Cherry crying, he couldn't help asking, "Cherry, what's wrong?" Cherry cried even more as soon as she saw Fade. She threw herself into Fade's arms and burst into tears, saying, "Fade, they are all mean. They don't believe me and they don't believe you. They even shred the prescription you gave me." Hearing that Fade immediately understood what was going on. He immediately patted Cherry's shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay. If the prescription is torn off, I'll write a new one for you. It's not a problem." "Okay. Cherry nodded with tears in her eyes. On the other side, Cherry's parents immediately rushed over. They pulled Cherry away and glared at Fade, saying in a bad tone, "Don't get close to my Cherry." Hugo also stared at Fade with a dark face and snapped, "Liar, don't deceive Cherry with your gimmicks. Or you will regret it." Listening to them, Fade felt a little speechless. He felt like leaving. But when he saw Cherry's face full of tears, he couldn't help but soften, so he said, "Cherry, don't cry. Your grandfather will be fine. "Really? But the prescription." Hearing this, Cherry's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. However, her parents and Hugo stared at Fade with a serious look. "Conman, you're still talking nonsense. You're trying to lie to my daughter!" "Kid, this is the territory of Lightning Clan, a Black Level martial arts clan. You'd better leave right now, or you'll only meet death's end." Fade ignored their threats and looked at Cherry with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Cherry. You can cure your grandfather's illness without that prescription. I have a better way." "What better way?" Cherry asked in surprise. Fade said blandly, "When we reach the mountain later, I'll get some Yellow Medicago from the farm. You can bring it back to your grandpa for him to consume it. He'll be able to recover "Fade, can you really get the Yellow Medicago?" Cherry asked. Fade nodded and said, "Of course. When I reach the mountain, I'll pick some for you immediately." Cherry was delighted. She looked at her parents and said, "Mom, Dad, did you hear that? Fade mentioned Yellow Medicago. The doctor who asked us to come here had mentioned the same medicine. Fade is not a liar. He is really a doctor At this moment, Cherry's parents also looked at Fade in surprise, with a puzzled look in their eyes After all, there were not many people who knew that Elder Xie needed Yellow Medicago for his illness. Fade, an outsider, could actually point it out accurately. Naturally, they were a little surprised. Just then, Hugo said, "Mr. and Mrs. Xie, don't be fooled by a conman!"
Chapter 761 "I don't know how he found out that Elder Xie needs the Yellow Medicago, but Mr. and Mrs. Xie, think about it carefully. What did he say just now?' Hugo said, "He said that when he goes up the mountain, he will go to the herb farm and harvest the Yellow Medicago for Cherry, "Is this possible?" Hugo asked. After being reminded by Hugo. Cherry's parents, including Cherry, all had a strange look on their faces. Their impression of Fade took on a different light They knew that the herb they were looking for was no ordinary herb. It was precious and rare. It could only be found in certain influential Clans and martial arts practitioners. The purpose of the Xie Family's visit this time was to find out if the Lightning Clan's Dragon Source Herb Farm had the Yellow Medicago available. Therefore, they took the opportunity to come take a look during the Field Opening Day and hopefully be able to acquire one. However, how could the Lightning Clan give such a precious herb away so easily? Not to mention Fade's words before. He said that he was going directly to the herb farm to get some. How could it be so easy? This was doubtful. All of a sudden, Cherry's parents shook their heads and looked at Fade with a dark look. They had completely regarded him as a con. Cherry was now in a dilemma. After all, Fade's words seemed exaggerated. Hugo sneered and said to Fade, "Liar, don't talk big Who do you think you are? What do you think this place is? Do you think the Dragon Source Herb Farm belongs to you? That you can go in as you please?" Fade looked at Hugo and said lightly, "The Dragon Source Herb Farm is mine indeed. That's why I said I'm going to pick some Yellow Medicago for Cherry." Hearing this, Hugo guffawed. "The Dragon Source Herb Farm is yours? Haha, your boasting is ridiculous! Why don't you tell me that you're the Guardian of Lightning Clan?" Fade said lightly. I'm not the Guardian of Lightning Clan. However, when it comes to me, the Guardian of Lightning Clan dare not be so presumptuous." Hearing this, Hugo was stunned. Then he sneered, "Ho ho, you're still babbling nonsense! The Guardian of the Lightning Clan is Senior Franklin Chang. He dares not to be presumptuous in front of you? It's ridiculous." At this moment, Cherry's parents sighed and shook their heads. They now viewed Fade as a complete liar and a madman who talked big. Even Cherry looked at Fade with suspicion. Seeing this, Fade knew that whatever he said now was useless. He merely said blandly, "You'll find out when we're up." At this moment, Joseph and Jerry, who were walking in front of them, were stopped at the gate guarded by a disciple of the Lightning Clan The two of them turned around and looked at the scene behind them. Then, they said in unison, "What's wrong? What happened?" Without waiting for the others to speak, Hugo rushed forward and said to Joseph in an even more sarcastic tone, "Master, that guy just spoke rudely behind you. He spoke rudely to your Clan. "What!" Joseph frowned, glanced at Fade before he asked Hugo, "What did he say?" Hugo said, "He said that after going up the mountain, he would go to the Dragon Source Herb Farm to harvest a Yellow Medicago. He even said that the Dragon Source Herb Farm was his, and that the Guardian of Lightning Clan even needed to respect him." Hearing this, Joseph's expression suddenly changed. He glared at Fade and said in a low voice, "Did you say that just now?" Fade glanced at Joseph and said lightly, "I merely spoke the truth." After that, Fade did not intend to say anything more and went straight ahead. When Joseph saw this, he shouted, "Stop right there!" As he spoke, he reached out his big hand to grab Fade's shoulder. When Joseph's hand was about to reach Fade's shoulder, Fade gently shrugged. Joseph missed his target Such a situation made Joseph's face sink, and his face showed anger. He rushed up to attack Fade At this moment, Fade said lightly, "Today is the Field Opening Day of the Lightning Clan's Dragon Source Herb Farm. Are you sure you want to fight?" Upon hearing this, Joseph's expression changed slightly. The disciple of the Lightning Clan who was guarding the checkpoint also said, "Senior Min, the Guardian has made an order that all visitors today are our guests. Do not stir up trouble. Then, Joseph stopped and glared at Fade. He snorted and said, "You're lucky today." Then, he waved his robe and walked toward the checkpoint. "Let's go up the mountain. Cherry's parents and the others followed behind. When they got to the checkpoint, the Lightning Clan disciples stopped them and said, "Please show us your invitation!" "Invitation?" Hearing this, Cherry's parents' expression changed and immediately pleaded, "We don't have an invitation. We are here to look for medicine for our sick relative. We can donate... The disciple shook his head and said, "You can't enter without an invitation." Although the Lightning Clan opened its gates to welcome guests for the Field Opening Day, the Dragon Source Herb Farm has limited space. Naturally, the In addition to practitioners of martial arts, some rich and powerful people were number of guests was also restricted. invited. Although the Xie Family was also somewhat rich, it was still not enough to obtain an invitation Cherry and her parents were disappointed. They wanted to beg, but when they saw his serious attitude, they did not dare to speak again. At this moment, Hugo thought of something and took out an invitation. He handed it over and said, "Can I bring them in if I have an invitation?" The disciple checked the invitation and said, "You can go in, but the status of your invitation is not high enough. You can't bring them in." Hearing this, the three members of the Xie Family looked even more upset. Then, they asked, "What's the required level of the invitation in order to bring us in? The guard pointed at Jerry and said, "You will need an invitation like the one Senior Lin of the White Jade Palace has. Of course, Senior Min can do the same." Hearing this, Cherry's parents immediately came to Joseph and Jerry and begged, "Master Lin, Master Min, our family member is dying. We really need that life-saving herb. Please be merciful and let us in." Joseph and Jerry frowned slightly. They wanted to refuse. After all, they had seen too many people who came to ask for the medicine. If everyone were taken in, it would be a mess. Just when the two wanted to refuse, Cherry's parents pushed Cherry out and said, "Please be merciful and help us once. Our young daughter, and us, will be very grateful to you: Cherry was also panicking. He said, "Please, please save my grandfather." Joseph and Jerry's eyes fell on Cherry's face, and they couldn't help showing a hint of amazement
Chapter 762 Obviously, they were interested in Cherry. Although they were practitioners of martial arts, they were young men with vigor. Meeting such a young and lovely girl like Cherry, they naturally adored her. So, after they looked at each other, they smiled and said to Xie Family, "For the sake of your sincerity, we'll make an exception this time and take you up the mountain. The three members of Xie family were delighted to hear this. They immediately stepped forward to express their gratitude to Jerry and Joseph. Then, Joseph was ready to bring them up the mountain. However, Jerry suddenly stopped Joseph, looked at Fade for a few times and said something to Joseph Upon hearing this, Joseph's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Fade. The two men walked toward Fade and said, "You want to go up the mountain too, don't you?" "I came all the way here. Of course I'm going up the mountain" Fade said calmly. Joseph smirked and said, "Not everyone can enter the Lightning Clan's gate. Do you have an invitation?" Fade shook his head gently and said, "No, I don't". Hearing this, Joseph became more delighted. He glanced at Jerry and said, "If you don't have an invitation, you're allowed to enter. However, since you've come from afar, I can give you a chance." "Chance?" Fade looked at Joseph and Jerry and understood what they meant. Jerry smiled and said, "Kid, Senior Joseph does not give chances easily. You'd better seize the opportunity now!" "How do I seize the opportunity?" Fade raised his eyebrows and gazed at Jerry Jerry and Joseph looked at each other. Then, Jerry said, "It's very simple. You have the Icy Boehmeria and Fire Blaze Ginseng, yes? As long as you give these two herbs to Senior Joseph, he will take you up the mountain." At this moment, Joseph put his hands behind his back and looked at Fade in an imposing manner. He said to Fade, "Give me the herbs. I'll give you a chance" Hearing this, Fade laughed, and his guffaws became louder and louder. "What are you laughing at?" Joseph and Jerry's faces fell as they shouted at Fade. Fade's face darkened. He looked at both of them and said coldly, "What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at your arrogance. If you want my herbs, just say it. You don't have to act righteous. Hypocritical!" "You." The duo's thoughts were exposed, and their expressions turned gloomy. Jerry swung his sleeves and glared at Fade, saying, "Humph, you're so ungrateful. Joseph and I were giving you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it. Preposterous!" Joseph's face darkened as well. He said in a deep voice, "It's fine if you don't cherish the opportunity, but you dare insult us, I must teach you a lesson today" As he spoke, Joseph's aura exploded. He was about to attack Fade. At this point, the Lightning Clan disciple, who was guarding the checkpoint, quickly stood up and persuaded, "Senior, the Guardian has ordered that we must not fight on this grand day! Joseph's face darkened and he paused for a moment. Finally, he retracted his arm and said coldly, "Take note. We will not allow such a person to go up the mountain. The disciple nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Senior." After finishing his words, Joseph snorted, crossed the checkpoint and stalked up the mountain. Jerry looked at Fade darkly. He shook his head and said coldly, "You don't know what's good for you! Arrogant b*stard! Now, don't beg me for another chance." With that, Jerry also began walking up. Behind him, Hugo and Cherry's parents followed in a hurry. Only Cherry turned around with a worried look. She hollered, "Fade, you..." Hearing this, Fade smiled at Cherry and said, "Don't worry, I have ways to go up the mountain." Cherry still wanted to say something, but was pulled over by her parents. "Cherry, what did we say to you just now? Stop talking to him. Why won't you listen to us?" Hugo added, "Cherry, can't you see? That guy is a liar. At this time, he still insists on his lies. He's just daydreaming in broad daylight. Cherry wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything, Even she couldn't fathom how Fade could do to go up the mountain at this moment. After all, not only did he not have an invitation, but he also offended Joseph and Jerry. While Cherry was worried, Fade stood in the mountain path, raised his head and gazed at the top of Thunder Mountain. He took a deep breath, and shouted, "Franklin Chang, I'm here. Come out to greet me!" Fade's voice was like rolling thunder, piercing through the air and spreading across the mountain. Due to the blockage of the steep mountain, it generated echoes, echoing in Thunder Mountain, like the roars of a behemoth. Joseph and the others, who were on their way up the mountain, were shocked when they heard this roar. Then, their faces stiffened greatly as they turned to look at Fade. Among them, Joseph's hardened the most. He whipped around, glared at Fade, and shouted, "What are you shouting about? Shut up!" Fade ignored Joseph and continued to holler toward the top of the mountain. This time, not only Joseph, but the Lightning Clan disciples guarding the checkpoint were also shocked. They swiftly surrounded him. Jerry's face darkened, "Senior Joseph, I'll help you." While speaking, he also rushed over and surrounded Fade Seeing this, Cherry couldn't help but be worried. She couldn't help exclaiming, "Fade, watch out!" Her parents quickly pulled Cherry back and warned her, "Mind your own business." Hugo's face was gloomy. He said, "That kid doesn't know what's good for him. He even shouted the name of the Lightning Clan Guardian blatantly. He even asked Guardian Chang to greet him! He's courting death!" Cherry's parents also shook their heads and said, *This kind of trash likes to show off because he has a little bit of money. Who does he think he is?" "That's right. This is the Lightning Clan, a force at the Black Level. Any disciple of it is a master of Martial Arts. Money is nothing to them." "Well, Joseph has been infuriated. I think there is no other way but death." Listening to the surrounding chatter, Cherry was anxious. She began to worry about Fade. When the other people who were going up the mountain saw Fade being surrounded by Joseph and Jerry, they couldn't help but gossip about him. However, Fade, who was surrounded in the middle, looked calm in front of the crowd. His hands were behind his back. He even looked confident
Chapter 763 Just as everything was happening on the mountain path, at the top of Thunder Mountain the upper echelons of the Lightning Clan gathered in the main hall, discussing something. Seated in the main seat was the Guardian of Lightning Clan, Franklin Chang. At this moment, he had a worried look on his face. He looked at the elders on both sides and said, "Do we really have to do this?" A middle-aged man with a long beard sat down and said to Franklin, "Guardian, you are the leader of our Lightning Clan. Why the need to be so afraid?" Franklin sighed and said to the long-bearded man, "Master Chien, I'm not afraid. It's just that if he found out that we did this, I'm afraid that... Without waiting for Franklin to finish, Master Chien said directly, "Guardian, to be honest, you think too highly of that person. You're too fearful of him! Our Lightning Clan is a force of the Black Level. How could we be afraid of an ordinary practitioner?' Master Chien's words were so lofty that many other elders agreed with him immediately. "Guardian, Master Chien is right. We, the Lightning Clan, have been around for a hundred years. We have been through so much. If we cancel the event and drive away the guests over such trivial matters, we will become the laughingstock of the public "Yes, Guardian, the Opening Day is starting soon. At this point, there's no need to be hesitating!" Hearing the elders' persuasion, Franklin's expression improved, but he still looked worried and said, "However, we have already lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to him. Yet, we are still organizing the Opening Day at the Dragon Source Herb Farm. No matter how you see it, we are still at fault!" The "him" in Franklin's words naturally referred to Fade During the battle at the Martial Arts Convention, Franklin lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Fade as a result of a bet. Although Fade had not come to collect the herb farm in the months after, Franklin still had some worries in his heart. In particular, the Opening Day made Franklin even more worried. He had not slept well recently After all, the Opening Day was equivalent to using Fade's property to win connections on behalf of the Lightning Clan. If Fade found out, things would get messy! Thinking of this, Franklin couldn't help but remember the scene of the arena fight. He shuddered in his heart, feeling terrified. However, the other elders hadn't experienced that fight, so they didn't understand Franklin's concern right now. They even felt that the Guardian was too timid and terrified of an ordinary practitioner. Among them, the one who opposed him the most was the First Master Tyrion Chien, the long-bearded man who had spoken just now. Sure enough, after hearing Franklin's words, Tyrion immediately stood up and said harshly, "Guardian, I don't agree with you. "Fade hasn't come to the Lightning Clan to take over the Dragon Source Herb Farm. The farm is still not his." "Even if he comes, it's still debatable whether we should give him the farm or not." Upon hearing this, Franklin could not help but shiver. He looked at Tyrion and said, "Master Chien, do you mean...! Tyrion looked directly at Franklin and nodded without any hesitation. Then, he glanced at the other elders and said aloud, "Guardian, now that all the people present are from our own side, I won't hide anything from you. Let's get straight to the point. We shouldn't give the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Fade." "But we lost the bet. " Franklin said, Tyrion sneered and said, "Guardian, how many people know about the bet and how many people approve of it? This is still unknown "What's more, even if we lost to him, so what? We're a martial arts clan. It won't be that easy to take things away from us!" Tyrion's words caused many elders to rise to their feet in agreement. "Guardian, Master Chien's words make sense! Not to mention that it was a small bet, even if we don't admit it in public, what can he do to us?" "That's right Guardian, we are martial arts practitioners, not those brainless scholars. We need to be versatile when it comes to certain matters." "Besides, didn't the Yue family lose a bet as well? They're going to hand over half of their property, weren't they? Now, not to mention half of their property, even the engagement that they promised to cancel is still ongoing. What can Fade do? Ha!" The elders all supported Tyrion's point - they didn't want to hand over the Dragon Source Herb Farm. In fact, it made sense. As a rare piece of top-grade medicinal herb field, the Dragon Source Herb Farm was considered the most important asset of the Lightning Clan. Over the years, the Lightning Clan had been growing stronger with the help of the Dragon Source Herb Farm. Now, they were asked to hand over the Dragon Source Herb Farm to someone else. Naturally, they would not easily agree to it Looking at the angry elders, Franklin couldn't help sighing. Why would he want to hand the Dragon Source Herb Farm over if he had a choice? However, when he thought of Fade's terrifying skills that he saw with his own eyes on the arena that day, he could not help but shiver. He said, "I understand what you're thinking. It's just that Fade is so powerful he even defeated Yohannes Yue. If he comes to us, I'm afraid." The elders had only heard about Fade's battle results. They had not personally fought with him. Naturally, they did not understand the terrifying suffocation of his strength At this moment, all of them seemed confident and indifferent. They all started speaking up one after another. "Although Yohannes is powerful, he's only one. With so many members of our Lightning Clan here, how can we be weaker than him if we work together!" "Yes, Guardian. Fade boasted so loudly, but he's just a young boy in his early twenties. He's not so powerful!" "Guardian, think about it. Even if we are no match for him. With so many people's strength, don't we have the capital to negotiate with him? "Master Chien, you're right. If we're so fearful of a kid, how can we hold a foothold in the martial arts world in the future?" Franklin listened to the words of the elders with a hesitant expression. After a pause, he said, "I'll think about it!" The other elders were still trying to persuade him, but Master Chien stopped them, "Give the Guardian some time to think. Let's talk about this later. Anyway, most of the guests are here. We'd better prepare for the opening ceremony!" Upon hearing this, Franklin was silent for a few seconds. He sighed, got up, and nodded, "Let's prepare to launch the Opening Day!" The crowd nodded and was about to walk out of the hall However, at this moment, a voice as loud as thunder suddenly rang out and reached the ears of everyone in the hall. "Franklin Chang, I'm here. Come out to greet me!"
Chapter 764 Upon hearing this voice, all the people in the hall were shocked. Then, their faces were full of anger, they shouted one after another. "What bastard dare to bark out there?" "Guards, go see what's going on!" "Who dares to call the Guardian by name, even asking for him to greet him personally?" The elders were still yelling angrily. At this moment, Franklin, who had just stood up, trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. He collapsed back on his seat Seeing this, the other elders were startled. "Guardian, what's wrong? Why do you look so pallid?" "Master Chien has sent someone to catch that cocky man." Hearing this, Franklin's face changed and he hurriedly said, "No, no, call them back. Hurry" The elders were quizzical. Tyrion looked at Franklin and frowned slightly. "What's wrong, Guardian?" Franklin said in a hurry, "He's here. Tell the men to come back, or we'll suffer if we infuriate him. "He?" Tyrion was stunned. Then, he thought of something and said with a shock, "Guardian, are you referring to Fade Chen? Was he the one who shouted just now?" Franklin nodded and said, "It's his voice. I can never forget that voice Hurry, call them back. Don't provoke him." Tyrion disagreed and said, "Guardian, it's normal for us to send someone to check if someone was yelling loudly at our main gate... let alone Fade! Why are you so nervous?" "You have no idea of his strength He's powerful beyond imagination. It's highly likely that he has reached the Earth Levell" Franklin said. Tyrion and the others did not believe in Franklin. "An Earth Level master! Guardian, you think too highly of him!" *Yes. Many famous masters in the martial arts world failed to reach the Earth Level. He's merely a young man in his twenties, how's that possible?" "Guardian, you're too tense Looking at the looks of disapproval on the elders' faces, Franklin was really anxious. He shrugged his sleeves and rushed out of the hall, saying, "You wouldn't know. I'll greet him in person." Looking at the figure of Franklin disappeared, the elders in the hall were stunned. They looked conflicted. Tyrion said in a deep voice, "The Guardian is so terrified of a little kid. If anyone finds out, the Lightning clan's reputation would be down the drain!' "That's right, don't know what happened to the Guardian! He was not so timid before," someone couldn't help sighing. Some people looked at Master Chien and gave each other a look. With a gloomy face, they declared to the crowd, "If the Guardian insists on handing over the Dragon Source Herb Farm to someone else, I think it's necessary for us to reconsider the candidate as Guardian of our clan!" As soon as he finished, the crowd went silent. Then someone said, "I think what Master Huang said makes sense. We can't just stand by and watch the Dragon Source Herb Farm fall into the hands of others." "Yes, if we can keep the Dragon Source Herb Farm, I believe that Senior Franklin would understand "If Senior Franklin abdicates, I think Master Chien is the only one who can take charge of the situation "That's right. Master Chien is the best candidate. I support him." For a moment, the crowd had a heated discussion. Shortly after, they had already appointed the candidate to replace the Guardian. Seeing this, Master Chien and Master Huang exchanged glances. They raised their lips and said, "We're not in a hurry to discuss this now. I'm afraid that a lot of the guests on the mountain have heard the yelling just now. In order to prevent any misunderstanding, we need to explain." "Yes, Master Chien is right. This is a crucial matter As they spoke, the elders walked out of the main hall. Currently, their attitudes towards the Guardian and Master Chien changed a little bit. They were even more inclined to favor Master chien. After all, in their view with regards to Fade's provocation. Guardian Chang ran out to greet him in a hurry, seeming very weak. Master Chien, on the other hand, took the overall situation into consideration and handled this matter better than Guardian Chang did. At this moment, Fade, who was halfway up the mountain, had no idea what was happening in the main hall. At this moment, he was surrounded by Joseph, Jerry, and several Lightning Clan disciples. Nevertheless, he was calm, Joseph's face darkened. He glared at Fade and said coldly, "Get down on your knees! Sever one arms as an apology Fade said coldly, "Why would 1?" Joseph said angrily, "You're yelling in front of the entrance of the Lightning Clan. You even insulted the Guardian of my Clan. How dare you talk back?! Fade said blandly, "As I said before, your Guardian has to bow down to me when he sees me. It's normal for me to demand him to welcome me." "How dare you spurt nonsense?! You're courting death!" Joseph couldn't help but be angry. He punched Fade with his fist. The powerful fist blew toward Fade's face. Seeing this, Cherry and the others expressions stiffened. Cherry was so worried that tears were welling up in her eyes. On the other hand, Hugo's face was so gleeful he almost laughed out loud. "Who told him to speak gibberish? Serves him right!" However, as soon as Hugo's mocking words tumbled out, Fade moved. Fade reached his right hand out and gently pushed against Joseph's fist. Such a gentle movement caught the eyes of Jerry, who was standing aside. He sneered and said, "Such an arrogant man. Senior Joseph is a master at the peak of the Yellow Level. You want to block his fist with your palm? What a joke. However, as soon as Jerry finished speaking, Fade's right palm and Joseph's right fist collided together Followingly, something incredible happened. After the collision, Joseph's whole body seemed to be electrocuted. The moment he touched Fade's palm, he bounced away. His whole body flew more than ten meters in the air and crashed on the mountain road, stirring up a cloud of dust. "How... how could it be possible? Senior Joseph, he... For a moment, both Jerry and the Lightning Clan disciples were shocked with disbelief. After being stunned by surprise, they were furious. With a fierce look on their faces, they rushed to Fade and said, "You reckless brat, how dare you hurt Senior Joseph! Kneel down!" As they shouted, the four disciples, who guarded the gate, and Jerry attacked Fade at once. When Fade saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly and there was a flash of sternness in his eyes. A red light was surging in his palms and he was ready to fight At this moment, a figure rushed down from the mountain path. At the same time, a loud shout came from afar. "Disciples of the Lightning Clan, take heed. Stop now!"
Chapter 765 Hearing this, all the people present were flabbergasted Joseph and the other Lightning Clan disciples furrowed their brows to get a clearer view at the person coming over. They muttered, "Who decided to come at this bad timing, if..." Before they could finish muttering, the figure quickly rushed over. Joseph and others were startled when they saw the face of the person. They immediately bowed respectfully to the person who arrived. "Guardian!" "Guardian Chang!" "Greetings, Guardian!" After having a shock, Joseph plucked up his courage and asked, "Guardian, what brings you here?" Franklin had a stern expression. He looked in Fade's direction and said, "I'm here to see him." When Joseph saw this, he thought he understood what the Guardian meant and nodded. He assumed that the Guardian must have heard Fade's voice in the mountains, so he came to teach Fade a lesson At the thought of this, Joseph immediately stood up and said, "Guardian, we have failed our duty. We allowed an irrelevant person to shout like a madman and disturb you. We will chase him out immediately." While speaking, Joseph waved his hand and ordered the Lightning Clan disciples near him, "Let's take him down together!" As a result, before they could move, Franklin shouted coldly, "Stop, all of you. Did I order you to do anything?" The disciples looked surprised, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only turn their eyes to Joseph. Joseph looked at Franklin and asked, "Guardian, are you going to do it yourself?" Next to him, Jerry came over and said, "I'm Jerry Lin from the White Jade Palace. Greetings, Guardian Chang. Franklin nodded slightly, and Jerry continued. "Guardian Chang, that man is arrogant. While we're on the way, he spoke rudely about you. Guardian Chang. you must teach him a good lesson, otherwise.. Without waiting for Jerry to finish, Franklin interrupted him coldly, "Who said I'm going to teach him a lesson?" "Ah." Upon hearing this, Jerry was stunned and at a loss. Joseph was also confused. He looked at Franklin and said, "What do you mean, Guardian?" "What did I mean?" Franklin snorted and then said, "Didn't you hear Mr. Chen's words just now? Mr. Chen has graced us with his arrival, so I'm here to greet him." "Greet him!' This time, Joseph and Jerry were utterly dumbfounded. They looked at Franklin in disbelief and were all stunned. "Guardian, this, this... However, Franklin did not care about their astonishment at all. He walked quickly to Fade and gre him respectfully, "Mr. Chen, you're here!" Fade nodded faintly and looked at Franklin, saying, "You came to greet me. It seems that you haven't forgotten me yet!" Franklin's heart trembled. He quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Chen, you're exaggerating. How could I ever forget you, Mr. Chen?" "It's good that you didn't forget! You'd better not forget your promise!' Fade said meaningfully Franklin naturally knew that Fade was referring to the Dragon Source Herb Farm. With panic on his face, he quickly said, "I definitely wouldn't forget about your promise, Mr. Chen!" "Good to hear. Let's go up the mountain!" Fade said calmly. Franklin hurriedly led the way for Fade respectfully and brought Fade up the mountain. Behind him, martial arts disciples like Joseph and Jerry, as well as the ordinary people like Cherry and her family, were all stunned. They looked incredulously at the backs of the duo on the mountain path, who had gradually gone increasingly far away "What, at's going on here?" Jerry said and then looked at Joseph. "Senior Joseph, why did Guardian Chang." Joseph's face darkened. He said in a deep voice, 'I can't make wild guesses about the Guardian's intention" Cherry was a little excited at this moment and said, "There's nothing to be confused about. Fade has already said that he is an honorable guest of Lightning Clan and that Guardian Chang would treat him with respect. This proves that Fade didn't lie. He is not a liar." Cherry pointed out the things that everyone couldn't believe. For a moment, everyone's face changed and they started whispering. "Was he telling the truth? The Dragon Source Herb Farm really belongs to him? "Who on earth is he? How did he make Guardian Chang come down the mountain to greet him in person?" In the voices of speculation, Joseph's face darkened. He quickly went up the mountain. The others followed suit as well. Soon, Franklin took Fade directly to the main hall of Lightning Clan. After arranging Fade to sit in the main seat of the hall, Franklin immediately ordered, "Gather the elders here, I have an important announcement." The disciples took the order and went out to gather the elders right away. Soon, more than a dozen elders who were still here gathered over here. When they entered the main hall and saw Fade sitting on the main seat and Franklin standing on the side everyone's face tensed. Tyrion, in particular, looked cold. He said to Franklin, "Guardian, the Opening Day is starting soon. Do you have anything important for us? Franklin nodded. Ignoring the elders' strange expressions, he pointed to Fade and introduced, "Let me introduce to you. This is Fade Chen of Dragonville. Hearing Fade's name, the pupils of more than ten elders narrowed, their expressions became colder. Especially those elders who were siding with Tyrion looked at Fade with blunt hostility. Tyrion even asked directly, "What brings you here, Mr. Chen?" When Franklin heard this, he vaguely felt that something was off. However, at this moment he could not afford to infuriate Fade. It was the most important thing him. So Franklin said directly, "I told you before that in the last fight, the Lightning Clan lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Mr. Chen. "Now, Mr. Chen is here to claim the Dragon Source Herb Farm. "Claim the Dragon Source Herb Farm, these words entered the ears of the elders, and their expressions went down several degrees colder. Tyrion took the lead and said, "Guardian, the Opening Day is beginning soon. All the distinguished guests are in place, waiting outside At this time, Franklin could not care about the Opening Day. He said directly, "Then you should cancel the event. Go prepare the formalities immediately and transfer the title of the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Mr. Chen." Some of the disciples heard the orders and were ready to take action. However, when they reached the center of the main hall, they were stopped by Tyrion. "Wait" Franklin saw what happened. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Master Chien, what do you mean by this?"
