Chen Lu was confused. She didn't know why the Chen family would be in such a hurry and act so mysteriously. She had only been gone for half a year. How did it become like this?
Even her grandfather, who hadn't been in seclusion for a long time, went into seclusion. Her second uncle used to be very hospitable, and this had never happened before. Did something happen in the family?
"It seems like the Chen family doesn't welcome us."
Jiang Chen shrugged helplessly.
At this moment, Chen Lu's expression also changed slightly.
She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, brother Jiang Chen. I don't know why it became like this."
"Let's go and see your father's condition first."
Jiang Chen said.
"Okay!"
Chen Lu hurriedly brought Jiang Chen to her father's residence.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Cui, is my father at home?"
Chen Lu asked when she saw the two maids.
"Master is at home, but … his condition is getting worse these days."
Xiao Qing said softly.
"What's going on? I see that everyone in the family is very strange. Did something happen in the family while I was away? "
Chen Lu frowned.
"It's the third princess. She … she was harmed by someone."
Xiao Cui said.
"What? My third aunt, she … "
Chen Lu's pretty face was covered in frost. She was emitting extreme anger and resentment.
She had the best relationship with her third aunt. They grew up together and played together. Their relationship was very close. She was closer than other family members. She was more like a sister to her.
Chen Lu found it hard to accept that her third aunt was harmed. She felt like a knife was being twisted in her heart.
She couldn't accept this fact. Her third aunt was the most outstanding prodigy of the Chen family. How could it be? Her power was star state level 7, how could she be so easily harmed by others?
No wonder her grandfather was in seclusion, and her third uncle was also very mysterious. He was full of hostility towards Jiang Chen and the others. Even the hospitable Jiang Chen became so cold. This matter most likely had something to do with outsiders.
However, brother Jiang Chen saved her life. Chen Lu trusted Jiang Chen a lot.
"Take me to father."
The rims of Chen Lu's eyes reddened. When she pushed open the door, she saw her father lying on the sickbed. His eyes were sunken in, and his expression was one of extreme loneliness.
His father was already seriously ill, and his third aunt's death was a huge blow to him.
Melancholy was written all over that desolate face of vicissitudes.
"Father!"
Chen Lu couldn't help but call out to her father. At this time, Chen Batian was also slightly startled and woke up from his daze.
"Father, my third aunt, she … what's going on?"
Chen Lu and her father looked into each other's eyes. Although she didn't want to talk about her third aunt and make her father feel worse, she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart, so she had to find out the truth.
"Your third aunt was deceived by someone. An unknown man cheated her feelings and stole our Chen family's Weeping Blood Dragon Pearl. That person was very cunning. Even your grandfather couldn't catch him. At the last moment, your grandfather hit that person with his palm. He used your third aunt as a shield, and your grandfather accidentally killed your third aunt, so he blamed himself. And that bastard was seriously injured by your grandfather and escaped into the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. Cough, cough … "
Chen Batian's face was as gloomy as water. He coughed twice. His entire person was incomparably angry, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"If I didn't become like this, I'll definitely kill that bastard no matter what!"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
"Father, are you alright?"
Chen Lu quickly helped her father to sit up. Her heart was filled with incomparable grief and indignation. It turned out that someone had harmed her third aunt. She didn't know how much her grandfather would blame himself. He loved his third aunt the most, but now, she was actually killed by her. To him, this was a huge blow.
"Who are they?"
Chen Batian finally noticed the presence of Jiang Chen and Luo Ying.
"They are my friends. Father, Brother Jiang Chen saved my life. If it wasn't for him, I would have been dead. Moreover, I brought back the Black Golden Lotus. This time, you can definitely be saved. "
Chen Lu said excitedly.
Her third aunt had already left. She couldn't bear the fact that her father had also left her.
Hearing that Jiang Chen had saved Chen Lu, Chen Batian's expression softened a little. He looked at Jiang Chen and nodded slightly.
"Even if you find the Black Golden Lotus, it won't help at all. Miracle Doctor Lu is already dead. The thief who appeared with your third aunt not only harmed your third aunt, but he also started a massacre in the Chen family. Hundreds of people were killed and injured. Even Miracle Doctor Lu couldn't escape death. I'm afraid that in the entire Western Border, there's no other Miracle Doctor Lu. Even if I find the Black Golden Lotus, I'm afraid that my illness can't be cured. "
"Perhaps, this is fate."
Chen Batian's face was bitter. He didn't want to die, but in this situation, even if he had the Black Golden Lotus, there was no way for him to return to his previous self.
"This …"
Chen Lu's face was ashen. She had painstakingly found the Black Golden Lotus for her father, but it was useless. Miracle Doctor Lu was the only person in the Western Border who could cure her father. However, the Black Golden Lotus was found, but Miracle Doctor Lu was gone. Could it be that God was deliberately making fun of her?
Chen Lu was extremely sad. Her face was pale and she was in a daze.
"I'll give it a try. Maybe your father still has a chance to live."
Jiang Chen said.
"Brother Jiang Chen, you know how to treat illnesses?"
Chen Lu said in shock.
"I'm an alchemist. It shouldn't be a problem for me to let your father have a look."
Jiang Chen smiled.
Chen Lu was very surprised. This was really a case of a village at the end of the tunnel.
"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Jiang Chen. "
Chen Lu nodded repeatedly.
"Looks like there's another chance for you to perform, Brother Jiang Chen."
Luo Ying said with a faint smile.
Jiang Chen pretended not to hear and nodded as if nothing had happened.
"Let me have a look at your condition first."
Jiang Chen looked at Chen Batian.
When Jiang Chen's hand landed on Chen Batian's wrist, he felt an extremely cold force, as if it was going to devour him completely. That kind of abnormal force was full of adhesion. In an instant, Jiang Chen felt an intense chill rushing towards him.
This chill seemed to spread throughout Chen Batian's limbs and bones. It was everywhere in his eight extraordinary meridians.
"What a terrifying chill! You must have been poisoned by some kind of demonic beast, right? "
Jiang Chen looked at Chen Batian in surprise.
Chen Batian nodded, slightly surprised. He did not expect Lin Fan to be able to see that he was poisoned by a demonic beast.
