“Elder Gu, what illness is Ms. Wenren suffering from?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I heard that it’s something called Freezing Demon Illness… Gu Cong said, “She would have episodes where her body will temperature would drop severely and emit cold air. She would eventually be completely frozen and the temperature of her surroundings will drop drastically!”
Chen Xiaobei raised a brow. This sickness was called ALS back on earth.
But this illness that Lady Wenren had could affect the temperature around her. ALS was nothing compare to it!
“Hot water doesn’t help cure her, does it?” Chen Xiaobei was still uncertain as to how to cure this illness but he was very sure that hot water was ineffective.
“No, of course not. But no one in the entire Northern Wilderness Starfield could cure this strange sickness!” Gu Cong said, “Even the doctors of the Temple were unable to do anything. They could only use hot water to try to control the cold. There’s no cure… It’s really unfortunate—she’s a very good daughter and she’s hanging on to dear life…”
“I actually have a way to not only suppress the cold, but also to prolong her life!” Chen Xiaobei said, his brows furrowed.
“You know a cure? How is that possible? You are so young!” Gu Cong looked at Chen Xiaobei with disbelief.
“I thought you said you don’t judge a book by its cover!”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Gu Cong quickly tried to explain himself, “I’m just looking at it logically. I’m not judging you by your age!”
Chen Xiaobei could not deny that. There was an old Chinese proverb that goes ‘a youth without facial hair cannot be relied upon’. It was unavoidable that people would question when a young man does anything big.
The only way to shut them up was to prove them wrong.
Chen Xiaobei said, “Based on what I’ve observed, she only has 6 months left to live. Am I right?”
“That’s right… but the Temple’s ordained doctors had already made the same diagnosis. This is something many people already know…”
“Alright, it seems like you still don’t believe me. Let’s go over and take a look!”
Chen Xiaobei could not be bothered to argue with him. Action speaks louder than words.
“Hold on, Mr. Chen! Did you forget what I said? This is not a good time to get too close to the Wenren family.
“It won’t be a problem. It’s you don’t want to get involved, you can pretend not to know me!”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged and walked out of the cubicle.
“I…”
Gu Cong really did not want to go but he had just openly declared that Chen Xiaobei was his own people now. If he abandoned Chen Xiaobei now, he would insincere.
For the lack of better options, Gu Cong braced himself and followed behind Chen Xiaobei.
…
Ms. Wenren’s cubicle was surrounded by onlookers.
They were mostly Silver Plume nobles. None of them entered the cubicles, they were just nosing around.
“Sigh… These people at Violet Bamboo Restaurant people are too realistic!” said a young Silver Plum noblewoman. “Last time, when Ms. Wenren needed hot water, they would bring it in a pure gold bucket and bend over backward to get it to her! But it’s taking them so long to get it to her now!”
“Based on what you’re saying,” a Silver Plume nobleman said, “The Violet Bamboo Restaurant boss also has his own support! Wenren Jinghao is being sent back to Silver Plume planet. We already know what is going to happen!”
“What? Wenren Jinghao is fired?” The woman asked.
Many of the other Silver Plume nobles shot a look of disdain at the woman for her ignorance of the issue.
Apparently, most of the nobles already knew about Wenren Jinghao’s transfer back to Silver Plume Planet, but none of them knew about what happened to Atlantis!
Back when Wenren Jinghao was still a Temple Elder, these people would not have stood around outside but rush into the cubicle to try to help his daughter to curry favor.
…
“Mr. Chen, do you see that?”
Standing behind the crowd, Gu Cong said in a hushed voice, “Here in Northern Wilderness Starfield, the Temple is the highest authority. Those whom the temple sack are people who have done wrong! Who would dare mingle with a sinner?”
“Alright, just pretend you don’t know me!” Chen Xiaobei said in a somber tone, “That girl is very kind. I will not watch her suffer and do nothing about it!”
“But…”
Gu Cong wanted to advice Chen XIaobei against it Chen Xiaobei was already making his way to the door of the cubicle.
“Hey kid! Who are you? You can’t just enter as you please!”
The Silver Plume nobles who were standing outside asked rudely when they saw Chen Xiaobei, the foreigner.
“I am a Silver Plume 3rd Regiment soldier, Chen Zhufeng!” Chen Xiaobei answered in a calm voice.
“3rd Regiment? Isn’t that the rubbish new regiment that was destroyed?”
The noblewoman who had spoken earlier affronted.
Chen Xiaobei replied in a frosty tone, “All of the soldiers in the 3rd Regiment sacrificed their lives to protect the Governor of Silver Plume. Please show some respect!”
Even though Chen Xiaobei was not really a soldier from the 3rd Regiment, he had seen how the soldiers risked their lives to defeat the Demonic Beasts that threatened the safety of the planet.
It annoyed Chen Xiaobei that the woman called the 3rd Regiment rubbish.
“Heh, hehehe…” The noblewoman laughed. “Northern Wilderness soldiers—that’s the nicer way to call yourselves. But the uglier term for you people is ‘watchdogs that the Temple bought with Spiritual Stones’! Isn’t it expected for dogs to die for their owners?!”
Chen Xiaoberi was even more exasperated by this comment. As an outsider, he was seen as just a dog to these Northern Wilderness nobles?
“Bullshit!”
Before Chen Xiaobei could express his irritation a bold voice came from behind.
When the crowd turned around, they saw a muscular man walking towards them. He was also a Silver Plume noble, and he looked very much like Ms. Wenren.
He was, obviously, Ms. Wenren’s father, the sinner in the people’s eyes, Wenren Jinghao!
Before this, whenever Wenren Jinghao visited, the owner of Violet Bamboo Restaurant would personally greet him at the door. But today, he was nowhere to be seen.
Even the Silver Plume nobles who had gathered outside the cubicle did not bother to greet him. They just whispered amongst themselves and pointed fingers at him.
Wenren Jinghao did not even bother to look at them. He merely walked to the noblewoman and said, “I want you to apologize to that little soldier!”
“Why should I?” The noblewoman looked at Wenren Jinghao disrespectfully.
“The population in Northern Wilderness Starfield is small and the Demonic Beasts roam about as they please! If all this while, the soldiers from the lower-ranking starfield had not come to assist us, god only knows how many of our planets would be overrun by those beasts! Think about how many nobles will have died?!” Wenren Jinghao’s expression was icy as he said, “As a noble, you should apologize for speaking disrespectfully! You must!”
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he found himself feeling fond of Wenren Jinghao .
