196: The new son of destiny (how strange)

Fortunately, Zhang Wei, the head of the Zhang Family, arrived quickly, breaking Dai Dabai's awkward situation.

Upon his arrival, he first bowed to Zhang Zicheng, then slowly said, "Grand Elder, I have understood this matter. It can now be fully decided by me. You may continue to rest."

"Hmm, since you're taking over, then I, this old man, won't bother with it. Go on!"

In truth, Zhang Zicheng couldn't care less about these things; he was merely performing his duty. Over these past few centuries, many talents have emerged from the Secret Realm, and he only needed to hand these individuals over to the Family; the rest was not his concern.

...

Soon, Zhang Wei led everyone to a separate courtyard in the Zhang Family.

The Zhang Family was located on a towering mountain peak, and the entire peak was enveloped by a Formation, appearing majestic and solemn.

The Spiritual Qi here was much richer than in the Mountain and Sea Realm; high mountains and flowing water were everywhere, and Immortal mist lingered, with occasional beast roars echoing.

"This must be the Young Friend Chen Xuan that the Grand Elder mentioned, right? I see he is indeed a talented individual!" Upon arriving at the courtyard, Zhang Wei's gaze fell on Chen Xuan.

"Junior Chen Xuan greets Senior!" Chen Xuan said calmly, cupping his hands.

"Hmm, not bad! Since Crown Prince Dai values you, you must have some capabilities. May I ask, Young Friend, what are you skilled in?"

"Oh, no, no, I merely have a slight understanding of medical arts. I heard from Crown Prince Dai that their team happens to lack a role like mine, which is why I was fortunate enough to be invited by him!"

"I see." Zhang Wei said no more, instead looking at Dai Dabai.

Learning that Chen Xuan was just a doctor, Zhang Wei was clearly somewhat disappointed. The Zhang Family had a plethora of 'useless' individuals like Chen Xuan! His only advantage now was his youth!

"Crown Prince Dai, what about you? I heard from the Grand Elder that your trip to my Zhang Family's Mountain and Sea Realm didn't seem to go very smoothly!"

"Alas, that's a long story!" Dai Dabai's mouth curved into a bitter smile upon hearing this.

"Crown Prince Dai, there's no need to feel pressured. You just need to tell me exactly what happened!" Zhang Wei frowned upon seeing this; he had a bad premonition.

"It's like this..." Dai Dabai recounted the whole story, but regarding She Jingxi, he downplayed her involvement, saying she was negligent in her duties and completely unconcerned about the mysterious bandit incident, even too lazy to manage it.

In short, he completely shifted all responsibility, blaming She Jingxi for every problem. Chen Xuan, listening from the side, felt a bit angry.

"Mysterious bandit? His Cultivation is the same as yours? You couldn't even touch him?! Could it be...?" Zhang Wei lowered his head in thought upon hearing this.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. Regarding this matter, I already know. While this incident can't be entirely blamed on you, Crown Prince Dai, the losses to my Zhang Family are real. Should I demand compensation from you, or from your teacher, Jade Master?"

"Uh, there's no need to trouble Teacher with this. It was my incompetence. My White Tiger Empire will take full responsibility for the compensation and will absolutely not let your Zhang Family suffer any losses!"

"That would be for the best. Then, Crown Prince Dai and Miss Zhu, please stay at my Zhang Family for these next few days! As for Chen Xuan, consider him a gift from me to you!"

With that, Zhang Wei's figure vanished. That mysterious person who stole his Zhang Family's immortal spirit grass was his biggest concern! Dai Dabai couldn't even touch him; besides the Flaw Eye, there was nothing else! Indeed, letting one escape back then has led to endless trouble now!

...

"Chen Xuan, this courtyard will be your residence from now on. Now, I'll take you to visit my teacher! He is the famous Jade Master throughout the entire Cultivation World!"

Seeing Zhang Wei give him so much Face, Dai Dabai didn't even need to pay to "redeem" Chen Xuan, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"It would be disrespectful to decline!"

Soon, Chen Xuan followed Dai Dabai and Zhu Zhu to a courtyard filled with abundant Spiritual Qi, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers, like a paradise on earth.

"Teacher!" Dai Dabai respectfully knocked on the door from outside.

"Hmm? Big Brother Dai? You're back?" The person who opened the door wasn't Jade Master, but a blue-haired young man.

"Oh, it's Little San. I just returned myself, and I came to visit Teacher right away!"

"I see. And this is?" Tang Sirui looked at Chen Xuan.

"Oh, this is Chen Xuan, a Genius I found in the Mountain and Sea Realm. He is proficient in medical arts, and I want him to join our Monster Group, so I came to inform Teacher!" Dai Dabai explained.

"Ding, a new Son of Destiny has been detected. Host, please pay attention!"

"Heh heh, how strange. But in this Cultivation World, his 'nickname' is this!" Chen Xuan inwardly complained.

"Bring up his information!"

"Retrieving..."

Son of Luck: Tang Sirui

Cultivation: Nascent Soul fifth stage (Solid Foundation)

Personal Potential: Extraordinary Talent (Limitless) with twin innate treasures

Physique: Demonic Spider Physique (Current)

Cultivation Technique: Beast-Controlling Soul Transformation Art (Early version, no upper limit after subsequent refinement)

Skills: Life-Stealing Bind, Death Entanglement, Growth, Crushing Hammer, Spiked Cage...

Luck Value: 500,000 (Strong background, profound Opportunity, cautious personality, Personal Disciple of Jade Master, with high-martial memory from a second life, not suitable for direct confrontation)

Items: Demonic Spider Bone, Storage Belt, a treasure land, several hidden weapons...

Current Thoughts: Cultivate diligently, dream of becoming a god, marry his beloved, investigate his father's and teacher's generation's mysteries. Currently not willing for the Host to join his team.

Tang Sirui's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this.

"So he's a Genius from the Lower Realm. I have no objection to this, but it requires Teacher's approval!" Tang Sirui said.

Medical arts? Could it be as powerful as his poison arts? Purely laughable! Moreover, this person was brought by someone named Dai, so he's definitely his own person. Wouldn't adding him to the team just cause trouble for himself?

He should be the only one in charge of the team!

"That's as it should be. Where is Teacher? I'll go ask him now!" Unfortunately, Dai Dabai completely failed to notice Tang Sirui's hidden thoughts.

"He's in the courtyard. I'll go invite him out!" Tang Sirui said, then turned and left.

Soon, Chen Xuan received an invitation from Jade Master. Jade Master had already learned about the matter from Tang Sirui.

"Teacher, I have a request." Dai Dabai quickly said, "I found a highly skilled Genius in medical arts in the Lower Realm and specifically brought him to introduce to Teacher, hoping Teacher can accept him into our Monster Group!"
