They all knew that Xuan Yi, the Medicine King, was entrusting them to Qin Chen. After all, after that incident where he went into a frenzy, their master didn't have many years left to live.
Qin Chen didn't expect Xuan Yi to say this, and he immediately smiled, saying, "Xuan Yi senior, I'm afraid I cannot agree to this."
Xuan Yi's expression changed immediately as he exclaimed, "Chen Shao, why is that?"
Could it be that he looked down on his disciples?
His disciples held high positions in the Alchemy Pavilion, and even if Qin Chen became the heir of the Alchemy Pavilion, he should be given more responsibilities, right? Otherwise, how could he manage the Alchemy Pavilion by himself?
Jiao Jialiang and the others also changed their expressions, not understanding what Qin Chen meant. Was he expressing his dissatisfaction with them? But they seemed to have done nothing wrong.
"Chen Shao, if we have offended you in any way, please point it out, and we will certainly correct it."
Jiao Jialiang, who was somewhat familiar with Qin Chen, quickly stepped forward.
Qin Chen smiled and said, "You've misunderstood. What I mean is not that I do not accept you, but I cannot agree to what Xuan Yi senior said earlier about taking care of you after he leaves. After all, Xuan Yi senior has just become the deputy head of the Alchemy Pavilion; how could he just throw in the towel? I still hope that during my absence, Xuan Yi senior and Zhuo Qingfeng can manage the Alchemy City well."
Xuan Yi, the Medicine King, breathed a sigh of relief and bitterly smiled, "Chen Shao, stop joking. I don't have many years left to live. But you can rest assured, as long as I am still around, I will certainly serve you without any complaints."
"I'm not joking. Xuan Yi senior, you simply went into a frenzy, which caused your internal functions to be damaged, and your vitality cannot regenerate. You haven't truly reached the end of your lifespan; it's not a terminal illness, so why be so pessimistic?" Qin Chen laughed.
Xuan Yi, the Medicine King, smiled bitterly. He knew his own problem wasn't truly incurable, but at least in the Northern Sky Region, no one could cure him, not even the master of Xuan Zheng.
And he didn't have many years left to live anyway. At a higher level, it didn't really matter, and he naturally didn't want to go through any more troubles. He only wanted to pass these last years peacefully and contribute more for his disciples.
"Xuan Yi senior, the reason I say this is because I have a method that can treat your condition. Before I set off, you can come find me, and I will certainly cure the malady afflicting you," Qin Chen said with a smile.
"What?"
"You have a solution?"
"Chen Shao, you can cure the stubborn illness of the master?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes wide open.
If someone else had said this, they would have thought the person was spouting nonsense. But it was Qin Chen who said it, making them unable to help but hope.
"Master, Chen Shao said he can cure you; he will surely be able to do it. Just wait for Chen Shao's summons," Zhuo Qingfeng was also overjoyed and immediately laughed.
He knew that if Qin Chen dared to say this, he must have full confidence.
"If Chen Shao can truly cure my illness, from now on, I will follow Chen Shao without hesitation, no matter the cost," Xuan Yi, the Medicine King, said with a serious expression and an excited gaze, deeply bowing.
What Qin Chen wanted was this very sentence, and he smiled as he helped Xuan Yi, the Medicine King, back up.
The scene here was witnessed by other guests, each shocked with bulging eyes, staring in disbelief.
The celebration lasted the whole night, and Qin Chen received gifts until his hands were sore.
After this ended, the next day, Qin Chen immediately began his plans.
In a month, he would go to the Eastern Continent with the master of Xuan Zheng. Following that, it was very likely that they would head directly to the Martial Domain. Zhao Lingshan and the others were still in the Hundred Dynasties region; he still had many things to do.
