Most importantly, Exalted Immortal Xiao was actually able to kill all of them. Just how strong was the sect behind him?
"Exalted … Exalted Immortal Xiao, which sect did you and your companion come from?" Duan Suqing took a deep breath and asked carefully.
"As for which sect I am from … it's not convenient for me to tell you." Seeing that Duan Suqing had been successfully intimidated by him and was trembling with fear, Xiao Chen found it a little funny. However, his expression did not change. He said indifferently, "I believe that since you have been the sect leader for so long, you should know the rules better than me. There are some things that are not good for you to know too much."
"Yes, yes, yes. It's all my fault for talking too much. Please don't take offense, Exalted Deity Xiao!" Duan Suqing shuddered and quickly squeezed out a smile, afraid that Exalted Immortal Xiao would be dissatisfied with him.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and did not speak again. Fortunately, they had arrived at the place. Duan Suqing quickly stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A low and slightly hoarse male voice came from behind the door.
"Reporting to Grand Supreme Elder, I'm Duan Suqing. I've brought a guest to see you." Duan Suqing reported respectfully.
"Come in!" After a while, a tired voice sounded from behind the door.
After getting a response, Duan Suqing turned to Xiao Chen and said, "Immortal Xiao, the Highest Elder is doing closed-door training inside. Please come with me!"
Pushing open the door and following Duan Suqing into the room, Xiao Chen saw a haggard old man at first glance. At this time, the old man was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and seemed to be quietly adjusting his breathing.
This person should be Gong Shaoxi's father, Gong Ruitong. His facial features were somewhat similar to Gong Shaoxi's, but there was a kind of dispirited and sickly expression between his brows. His complexion was also somewhat pale, without any color of blood.
After both of them entered the room, Gong Ruitong slowly exhaled and opened her eyes. She looked at Xiao Chen and then turned to look at Duan Suqing. She asked seriously, "What's going on?"
"Reporting to Grand Elder, this is Shaoxi's newly acknowledged master, Xiao Qiang. This time, he was specially invited to the Burning Sky Faction as a guest." Duan Suqing bowed, and very respectfully introduced Xiao Chen.
Gong Ruitong sized up Xiao Chen again. His expression was even more gloomy, and his tone was somewhat unfriendly. "And then?"
"It's like this. This time, we invited Exalted Immortal Xiao to come. On one hand, we hope that he can give some pointers to the disciples in the sect. On the other hand, we want to treat your injuries and let you recover as soon as possible." Only then did Duan Suqing explain the purpose of his visit.
"No need!" Just as Duan Suqing's voice fell, Gong Ruitong's thick eyebrows furrowed into a ball, and she immediately refused. "How could I not know what's going on with my own injuries?"
"Uh, but …" Duan Suqing was stunned. He still wanted to say a few words. Gong Ruitong waved his hand, pointed at Xiao Chen, looked at Duan Suqing, and said in a deep voice, "Besides, you're already an expert of the Nascent Soul Stage, right? Even you can't heal my injuries, so where did this little brat come from? " You're really something. You were actually deceived by a little brat. Could it be that he drugged you? "
Gong Ruitong didn't believe that Xiao Chen could cure him. The Burning Sky Faction had already invited countless famous doctors in the Liuxian Prefecture to diagnose his injuries. He didn't know how many treasures and Spirit Crystals he had spent, but what was the result? They were all helpless!
This brat looked so young. What could he do? He must be a swindler! But he didn't expect Duan Suqing to be deceived at such an old age!
Looking at Gong Ruitong's righteous expression, Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head, squinted at him, and teased, "So you know so much. Then why don't you go to heaven?"
Originally, he wanted to treat his father's injuries for Gong Shaoxi's sake. After all, it was just a small effort. He didn't expect that this person not only didn't care about it, but also questioned him!
Hearing Xiao Chen's angry and teasing words, Duan Suqing's face stiffened. He couldn't afford to offend these two people!
Helplessly, he could only say to Gong Ruitong with a bitter face, "This … Grand Supreme Elder, please listen to my explanation. Although this Exalted Immortal Xiao looks very young, his medical skills are quite exquisite. Moreover, he also helped Elder Shaoxi …"
Unfortunately, before Duan Suqing could explain what Xiao Chen had done, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Gong Ruitong again.
"Say no more! In short, I will never let him treat my injuries. You can leave. I'm going to continue my closed-door training! "Gong Ruitong waved his hand decisively. He didn't want to say anything more. He closed his eyes and adjusted his Qi-circulation again.
In fact, Gong Ruitong couldn't be blamed for being too arbitrary. Since he was injured, he had been in closed-door training all year round. He didn't know anything about what had happened in the outside world. As the pillar of the sect, he was usually arrogant. Therefore, at first glance, he concluded that a young boy like Xiao Chen didn't have any ability.
"Tut-tut, it seems that this person has been in closed-door training for too long. His mind is a little muddled!" Xiao Chen stretched and moved his muscles and bones. Then he said lightly, "Since he doesn't want me to treat him, there's no need for me to stay any longer. I'll leave first. When he wakes up, I'll come back."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Chen lifted his feet and left the room. He didn't want to argue with such an old man. Moreover, this guy's thinking was too stubborn. It was useless to continue talking!
"Look, I was right. He ran away with a guilty conscience!" Looking at the back of Xiao Chen who turned and left, Gong Ruitong deliberately raised his voice and said loudly, "In the future, don't let this kind of swindler in again. Otherwise, people will think that our Burning Sky Faction is easy to cheat! If it weren't for the fact that I'm paralyzed and can't move, I would have slapped him away! "
At this time, Xiao Chen hadn't gone far. Moreover, Gong Ruitong's voice was very loud. Naturally, he heard his sarcastic and abusive remarks. However, Xiao Chen didn't intend to lower himself to his level. Anyway, he was the one who proposed to help treat the illness. Since the other party refused to accept it, there was no need to say more.
"Grand … Grand Elder, you can't say that!" Duan Suqing didn't have time to stop Immortal Xiao. As soon as he turned around, he heard Gong Ruitong say such humiliating words. Cold sweat suddenly flowed down his back.
Duan Suqing couldn't help but look back at Xiao Chen, who was gradually getting further and further away. He found that he wasn't angry because of this and was still walking leisurely with his hands behind his back. Only then did he quietly let out a sigh of relief.
