Chapter 437: Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! He Ping, Daoist He!

Faced with the Huo family young master’s ‘strange illness,’ the Huo clan members were at their wits’ end, utterly frazzled.

After painstakingly searching through countless records, they finally confirmed the source of the strange illness………

It turned out that the first-generation ancestor of the Huo family, Hawking, had suffered from an unusual illness identical to Huo Qichen’s.

Because this strange illness was extremely rare in the world and had only appeared in the ancestor Hawking,

The world named this one-of-a-kind strange illness after the Huo family ancestor: [Hawking Syndrome].

And because none of the later descendants were unfortunate enough to suffer from this strange illness again, it gradually faded from the Huo clan’s memory.

Who would have thought………

That the eighteenth-generation descendant, Huo Qichen, would suddenly experience genetic atavism and contract the old ancestor’s strange illness?!!

ε=(´ο｀*))) It could only be said to be fate and destiny.

According to the Huo clan genealogy, Huo Qichen’s condition would continue to worsen. By the end, he would be like Ancestor Hawking—apart from his eyes being able to move, he would only be able to use three fingers to operate the computer on his wheelchair, and then use a voice synthesizer to express his thoughts………

…………….

[No! I refuse to accept this! I am Huo Qichen, supreme under heaven and earth, the one and only!!!]

[I am Huo Qichen, born superior to others, destined to break every boundary and stand at a peak no one else can reach!!!!]

[I am Huo Qichen, destined to walk at the pinnacle of the crowd, leading the trend of the era with every step and becoming a legend!!!!!]

[How can I fall here?!]

[I refuse to accept this! I absolutely must cure the illness even my ancestor was powerless against and return to the peak!!!]

……………

Huo Qichen roared in his heart, using it to cover up the fear and unease within him.

Beside him, the old servant Uncle Zhou, who had served him for many years, looked at the young master paralyzed in the wheelchair, his face full of heartache.

He never would have imagined………

That the Huo family ancestor’s genes would be so strong. Even after eighteen generations, they could still manifest in a descendant?!

Their peerlessly brilliant young master had truly suffered!

Originally, the young master had been the one most likely in these past several decades to lead the Huo family to the very top of Magic City ……..

What a pity… what a pity. It could only be said… Heaven envies the talented!!!

Thinking of this, Butler Fu sighed and turned his head.

He looked toward the old man not far away, who stood on the lawn with his hands behind his back, gazing into the pitch-black night sky.

The old man wore a Taoist robe, had the bearing of an immortal, a slightly plump figure, and white hair and beard.

This person was the honored guest most respected by the Huo clan elders, the Huo family’s enshrined elder, He Ping.

“Daoist He! Do you think Master Jiang really has a way to cure Young Master Huo’s illness?”

“Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! This poor Daoist does not know either! But Master Jiang has traveled far and wide for so many years. What hasn’t he seen? Perhaps he just so happens to have a solution.”

Daoist He turned his head, glanced at Huo Qichen, whose eyes were full of expectation, and sighed.

“As long as Jiang Yangping has a way to cure my illness, my Huo family can agree to any condition he names.”

In the wheelchair, Huo Qichen twisted the only part he could still move, his head, his expression ferocious.

These days, he needed servants to specially attend to him for eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating.

That powerless sense of despair caused his heart to gradually twist, making him desperately crave a way to recover, even willing to pay any price for it.

Huo Qichen saw it clearly: he knew that as the illness dragged on, the prestige he had accumulated in the Huo family over the years would sooner or later vanish into nothing.

And at that time, he would one hundred percent be abandoned by the clan members. When that happened, he truly would be unable to call on heaven or earth for help………..

“Young Master Huo, mind your words! You should maintain respect for Master Jiang!”

“If your grandfather had not once shown Master Jiang a small kindness when he was young, the current Huo family might not even have the qualifications to speak with Master Jiang!”

“…………..”

Hearing that Huo Qichen did not show the slightest reverence toward a powerful expert and actually dared to call Master Jiang by his full name,

He Ping’s brows immediately furrowed, and he scolded him loudly.

His status in the Huo family was very high. Aside from Old Master Huo, he did not need to take any of the younger generation seriously, and Huo Qichen was no exception.

“Elder He is right…….”

“I will reflect properly and control my emotions. I was rash this time.”

Huo Qichen’s face was full of grievance, but in front of He Ping, he still obediently lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

He knew very well what status the other party had in the Huo family!

It could be put this way……..

If He Ping proposed that the Huo family that the heir should be changed, those old fossils in the clan would at most hesitate for two and a half seconds before abandoning him.

Therefore, Huo Qichen submitted without even thinking about it.

What’s more, after calming down, he also felt a wave of lingering fear, realizing how badly he had misspoken.

What kind of figure was Jiang Yangping?

A martial arts grandmaster!!!!!

Even Elder He had to tread carefully and tremble before him, let alone ‘mortals’ like them.

The reason Jiang Yangping was willing to show his face and temporarily set his foothold at the Huo family this time was mainly out of past ties and a bit of old sentiment with the Huo family.

Otherwise, this ‘good fortune’ truly wouldn’t have fallen to the Huo family!

After all, in Magic City there were plenty of forces eager to curry favor with Jiang Yangping, and some were even forces the current Huo family did not dare provoke……….

“Mm, a child worth teaching.” Daoist He nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, “This time, for your Huo family, it is also an enormous good fortune.”

“With a martial arts grandmaster on friendly terms with you, once word spreads, it will be enough to make the Huo family’s might shake all directions, and no one will dare provoke you again.”

“Even some transcendent forces in the Imperial Capital may have to give you some face and show a little more respect.”

“………….”

Beside them, Butler Fu deeply agreed and repeatedly voiced his approval.

“That’s right! A great martial arts expert can influence the life and death of a major force with a single word. Truly terrifying indeed~~~”

“Isn’t the Han family like that precisely because they got connected to that young grandmaster? That’s why they’ve been flourishing recently, overtaking on a curve and steadily suppressing the Huo family by a head.”

“Now that the Huo family has Master Jiang holding the fort, naturally, there is no need to fear them anymore.”

“…………..”

In the wheelchair, Huo Qichen was expressionless, his knife-carved face full of coldness.

Right now, he only wanted to cure his strange illness as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how glorious the Huo family became next, it would have nothing to do with him.

Just like that, everyone waited another two and a half minutes.

Finally, even Daoist He frowned slightly, looked at the appointed time, and became somewhat doubtful.

“Strange! Logically speaking, he should already be here.”

“Maybe… maybe Master Jiang had something to do? Maybe he suddenly flew somewhere else?” Butler Fu scratched his head, also finding it rather strange.

Ring, ring, ring—

At this moment, the subordinate responsible for communication suddenly received an urgent phone call.

“What?!”

“The plane malfunctioned? It crashed halfway???”

“The people in the cabin can’t be reached? Everyone died?!”
