Chapter 274 The Past of Guijianchou

“For you, it may be better not to know some certain things now. You just have to improve your own strength, and when you are strong enough to know everything, I will certainly not hold back.” After saying that, Guijianchou stood up and left, leaving a back to Wang Feng, which was a bit rakish as well as old.

Although he didn’t make it clear what had happened before, Wang Feng could easily figure out an explanation from what they said before. His Master had once received a gifted protege just like him, but for some reason, their relationship of master and apprentice finally broke down.

If such a thing had not been mentioned by others, Wang Feng would never have known it.

Lying in bed for another hour, Wang Feng finally felt that he was much better and left the room.

Now they were in the hotel, not in the Starspark School which was full of blood.

This time, the Starspark School had raised the ire of the masses and been destroyed. The Starspark School could not exist anymore in the future. Even the lord of it was dead. What could the rest of the people do? They were just a group of mobs.

How strong the Starspark School used to be! There were so many experts of Internal Strength. But so what? Now it was ruined in the blink of an eye. It was too fast indeed.

Thinking of the destruction of the Starspark School, Wang Feng was also filled with feelings.

No matter how strong the school was, it still had a termination, just like the human lifespan. No matter how powerful you were, you could not escape from the fate and would die in the end.

“Do you feel better now, Younger Brother?” At this time, Wang Feng heard that a voice sounded behind him, and it was from He Tian who just came over.

“I feel much better. What can I do for you, Brother?” Wang Feng asked calmly.

“Nothing. I just come here to see you since you are awake.”

“Well, by the way, Brother, you have spent a much longer time with our Master than me. Have you ever heard that he received a protege before?” Wang Feng suddenly asked.

“Why do you ask this?” He Tian was quite surprised at Wang Feng’s question.

“Someone just mentioned it, and I saw that our Master got furious about that. Was there anything that once happened to them, such as a breakup or something else?”

“I am not very clear about this because Master does not allow me to inquire about this. I just heard a little bit about it. Our master did receive a protege before, but it was more than twenty years ago. I was a child at that time, so I was not very clear about it.”

“But there’s one thing you are right about, Younger Brother. Before, our Master did break with his first protege, and they even had a big fight.”

“Since then, Master has never received any pro-protege, and I am just a registered one. Only you, Younger Brother, was chosen by him for your talent. I have also benefited from you.” He Tian said with a smile.

“I see.” After hearing He Tian’s explanation, Wang Feng finally figured out why the former reaction of his Master obviously departed from his normal behavior. This should be a pain in his heart.

It was heartbreaking and unbearable for anyone that the protege who had been cultivated with strenuous efforts ended up breaking with him.

“Brother, there’s one thing I still don’t understand. Why did Master receive you as his protege?” Wang Feng asked, waiting for his answer with great interest.

“Well, it’s a long story.” He Tian laughed, recalling the memory of the past afterwards.

“Then tell me the short version with only important parts. I am very confused about this thing.”

“All right. I’ll tell you about it since you want to know. The reason why Master received me as his protege is that I once saved his life and he wanted to repay the favor. Therefore, he agreed to receive me as a registered protege of him up to now. That’s how it goes.”

“Did you really save the life of Master?” Wang Feng’s eyes were widened when hearing the words of He Tian, revealing his disbelief.

Did their mighty Master really need to be saved by He Tian? What was going on?

“Yes.” He Tian nodded and then said, “It was six or seven years ago. At that time, I was still the head of some inferior gangsters in Zhu Hai City. One day, I found a man lying in an alley who was seriously injured. That was our Master. At that time, I thought he was hacked by someone. But it turned out nothing like that at all.”

“But speaking of this, it was really too coincidental. Two days before that, I happened to come to a fortune teller who told me that I would meet someone who could change my life in the near future. I thought he must be the one who the fortune teller mentioned, so I took him back and found a doctor for him. ”

“So, how did he get injured?” Wang Feng asked quickly. The more he listened, the more horrified he became.

He would know nothing about these secrets if He Tian did not tell him now. How overwhelming would the opponent be on earth to give such a heavy strike to Guijianchou?

“At that time, Master was hurt so badly that his viscera were all displaced and there was a huge bleeding hole in his chest. At first, the doctor who I brought over was so scared of his wounds, saying that no one who got wounded so heavily could survive.”

However, at last, He Tian forced the doctor to wrap Guijianchou up with a firm hand, just to do a favor for him.

It was admirable enough for an old man to linger on with such a serious injury. Therefore, impressed by his resilience, He Tian decided to let him die in a decent way.

To be more precise, He Tian just provided a temporary residence for Guijianchou rather than saving his life.

But they just thought that Guijianchou would die one day, not expecting that a great change would happen to him actually the next day.

Guijianchou revived on the second day after they brought him back on the first day. And the wounds on his body unexpectedly scabbed miraculously, which scared He Tian and others so much at that time as if they had seen a ghost.

Wasn’t it astonishing that someone who got hurt so badly could ever revive?

Besides, that was not the end. In the following days, Guijianchou slowly recovered and was back to the status of a normal person, showing no sign of death at all.

Therefore, from then on, He Tian and others all knew that the old man who He Tian brought back was not an ordinary person. They had treated him as a respected predecessor all the time.

“Master unexpectedly recovered from such a serious injury. How astounding he was!” Wang Feng exclaimed, and once again he realized how powerful his Master was.

If the same thing happened to him, he might not hold on to life while Guijianchou, who was over a hundred years old, finally made it through. How terrifying it was!

“It was terrifying indeed. At that time, I had never seen such a formidable person before. So, I had always taken him as a god.” He Tian was a little embarrassed when speaking of this.

“So after that, Master accepted you as his protege, right?”

“Yes, in return of this favor that I once took him in, Master received me as his protege and cultivated me carefully, so I reached the late of External Strength. But for the help of Master, I would not have owned everything that I have now.”

Back then, He Tian was just the head of twenty gangsters, far from controlling the whole underground of Zhu Hai City with his own strength. Later on, due to his cultivation, his influence grew stronger and stronger. He successfully centralized the whole underground of Zhu Hai City in the end after half a year, making himself a real emperor of the underground, who was worthy of his title.

It was a kind action that made He Tian become what he was now. It had to be said that sometimes fate was really a very wonderful thing.

“Then Brother, do you have any idea who hurt Master?”

“I asked him once, but he was not willing to say it out. So, I have never asked again. What? Are you going to revenge for him?”

“Of course, I will, but not now. I am still too weak now. I don’t know how long it will take before I can revenge for him. Nor do I even know who once hurt Master.”

“No hurry. I guess that Master will tell you everything when you are strong enough. It will only be your burden in your heart to know it at present. It’s not worth the candle. What do you think of it?” He Tian said slowly, taking a glance at Wang Feng.

“I understand this.” Wang Feng nodded and then cast his eyes to the illuminated night view of Chang City after taking a deep breath.

“Brother, how long will it take before we can return to Zhu Hai City?”

“I think it will be in the coming days. Master has been with an old friend in the past few days. He said that we would leave here as long as you got better.”

“Okay. Take an early rest, Brother. I’ll go back to my room.”

“Younger Brother, Master has put all his efforts on you, so don’t let him down.” Looking at the back of Wang Feng leaving, He Tian said to himself in the heart.

He was not capable of making any outstanding progress in the rest of his life. So, it was left to Wang Feng to take the responsibility on his own shoulders in the future.

After staying in Chang City for almost three days, Wang Feng finally recovered completely and his mental strength was severely exhausted, for which he paid a high price.

However, it was worth the price, because Wang Feng’s reputation had spread throughout the Cultivation World in Celestial Empire. Almost all the capable cultivators had heard about the new highly-skilled doctor, Wang Feng.

As a protege whose medical skills were better than those of his Master, Guijianchou, Wang Feng now had become a famous person whose name was frequently mentioned in people’s talk at their leisure.

“Master, have you been with Zi Ling’s Master these days?” Wang Feng asked in front of Guijianchou just on the departure day.

“Yes, his time is running out, and I want to spend more time with him in his last days so that he will not die in a lonely way.” Guijianchou replied with a regretful look.

“Master, can you take me to see him? Maybe I can save him with the clairvoyant ability.” Wang Feng opened his mouth and said.

The only relative of Zi Ling was going to leave her. What a poor girl! If he could save her Master, Wang Feng would be very willing to do it.

“No use to do it. I know his situation better than anyone. He is now totally relying on the strength which he has accumulated over the past 100 years. Even I can’t work out a way to save him.”

“Master, as the old saying goes, doctors should treat their patients with a heart of love just like parents. Even if I can’t save him, I can say goodbye to him. After all, we have never talked with each other.”

“All right! I will take you to see him now.” Guijianchou said. After that, Guijianchou took Wang Feng to a small hotel opposite theirs in a flash.

“Does he live here?” Wang Feng asked with a bit of surprise.

“Yes, do you think he can really leave his protege? These days he has been here and watching his protege secretly. He just wants to see more of her in his last days.”

“Let’s have a look at him then.” The last wish of a dying person was to see more of his protege. This topic was so heavy to speak of that it made Wang Feng sigh in his heart.

“Old guy, my protege and I come to see you.” Guijianchou shouted before opening the door, and then he just kicked the door open without knocking.

The furnishings in the room were all well-organized, and even the bedding on the bed was very neat. Apparently, no one had slept on it.
