438: Wuliang Tianzun! He Pinghe Daochang!

The Huo Family members were at their wits' end, completely distraught by Young Master Huo's "strange illness."

After their arduous investigation, they finally determined the source of the peculiar ailment... It turned out that the Huo Family's first ancestor, Hawking, suffered from the exact same unique condition as Huo Qichen.

Because this strange illness was exceptionally rare, only appearing in ancestor Hawking.

People named this unique and unprecedented illness after the Huo Family's ancestor: [Hawking Syndrome].

And because no descendants in later generations were unfortunate enough to contract this strange illness, it was gradually forgotten by the Huo Family members.

Who would have thought... that the eighteenth-generation grandson, Huo Qichen, would suddenly experience genetic atavism and contract his ancestor's strange illness?!

ε = (´ ο ｀*))) One can only say, it is fate.

According to the Huo Family's genealogy, Huo Qichen's condition would continue to worsen. Eventually, he would become like his ancestor, Hawking: besides his eyes, only three fingers would be able to operate the computer on his wheelchair, and he would have to use a voice synthesizer to express his thoughts... [No! I refuse to accept this! I am Huo Qichen, supreme in heaven and on earth, peerless!]

[I am Huo Qichen, born superior, destined to break all boundaries and stand at an unreachable peak!]

[I am Huo Qichen, destined to walk at the pinnacle of humanity, with every step leading the trends of the era, to become a legend!]

[How can I fall like this?!]

[I refuse to accept this! I will absolutely cure the illness that even my ancestor couldn't overcome, and return to my peak!!!]

...Huo Qichen roared in his heart, trying to mask his inner fear and unease.

Beside him, Old Butler Fu, who had served for many years, looked at the Young Master paralyzed in his wheelchair, his face filled with heartache.

He also couldn't believe... that the Huo Family's ancestral genes were so strong, still manifesting in a descendant after eighteen generations?!

It was truly hard on his Young Master, who was so brilliant and peerless!

Originally, the Young Master was the one with the most hope in decades to lead the Huo Family to the pinnacle of Modu... Alas... alas, one can only say... Heaven envies talent!!!

Thinking of this, Old Butler Fu sighed and turned his head.

He looked at the old man not far away, who stood with his hands behind his back on the lawn, gazing at the dark night sky.

The old man wore a Daoist robe, exuding an immortal aura, slightly plump, with white hair and beard.

This person was He Ping, the most respected guest among the Huo Family elders, and the Huo Family's venerated elder.

"Daoist He! Do you think Grandmaster Jiang really has a way to cure Young Master Huo's illness?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I am not sure! But Grandmaster Jiang has traveled north and south for so many years; what hasn't he seen? Perhaps he just happens to have a solution?"

Daoist He turned his head, glanced at Huo Qichen, whose eyes were full of anticipation, and sighed.

"As long as Jiang Yangping can cure my illness, then my Huo Family can agree to any of his conditions."

In his wheelchair, Huo Qichen twisted his only movable head, his face contorted in a grimace.

These days, he needed servants to attend to his every need, from eating to bathing.

That feeling of helpless despair gradually twisted his mind, making him urgently want to find a way to recover, even willing to sacrifice everything for it.

Huo Qichen saw it very clearly, knowing that as the duration of his illness lengthened, the prestige he had accumulated in the Huo Family over many years would eventually vanish.

And at that time, he would 100% be abandoned by his clan members. By then, he would truly be beyond help... "Young Master Huo, watch your words! You should show respect to Grandmaster Jiang!"

"If it weren't for your grandfather, who showed a small kindness to Grandmaster Jiang in his youth, the Huo Family today might not even have the right to speak with Grandmaster Jiang!"

...

Hearing that Huo Qichen showed no reverence for a powerful figure and dared to call Grandmaster Jiang by his full name, He Ping immediately frowned and rebuked him loudly.

His status in the Huo Family was very high. Except for Old Master Huo, he did not need to regard any of the younger generation, and Huo Qichen was no exception.

"Elder He's lesson is correct..."

"I will reflect deeply and control my emotions. This time I was rash."

Huo Qichen's face was full of indignation, but in front of He Ping, he still obediently lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

He was very clear about the other party's status in the Huo Family!

It could be said that... if He Ping proposed to the Huo Family to change the heir, those old fogeys in the family would hesitate for at most 2 and a half seconds before abandoning him.

Therefore, Huo Qichen gave in without a second thought.

Moreover, after calming down, he also felt a wave of fear, realizing his slip of the tongue.

What kind of person was Jiang Yangping?

A Martial Arts Grandmaster!!!!!

Even Elder He had to be cautious and careful in front of him, let alone these "mortals."

The reason Jiang Yangping was willing to grace them with his presence this time and temporarily settle in the Huo Family was mainly out of some past entanglements and favors with the Huo Family.

Otherwise, this "good fortune" would truly not have fallen to the Huo Family!

After all, there were many forces in Modu who wanted to curry favor with Jiang Yangping, some of whom even the current Huo Family dared not provoke... "Hmm, a teachable youth indeed." Daoist He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "This is also a great good fortune for your Huo Family."

"Having a Martial Arts Grandmaster on good terms with you, once word gets out, will be enough to make the Huo Family famous far and wide, and no one will dare to provoke you again."

"Even some transcendent forces in the Imperial Capital would probably give you three parts of respect, and a bit more deference."

...

Beside him, Old Butler Fu deeply empathized, agreeing repeatedly.

"Yes! A Martial Arts Grandmaster, a single word is enough to influence the life and death of a major power; truly terrifying~~~"

"Didn't the Han Family rise like the sun at noon recently and achieve a curve-overtaking, firmly suppressing the Huo Family, precisely because they connected with the Young Grandmaster?"

"Now that the Huo Family has Grandmaster Jiang presiding, they naturally no longer need to fear them."

...

In his wheelchair, Huo Qichen's face was expressionless, his chiseled features filled with indifference.

He now only wanted to cure his strange illness as soon as possible, otherwise, no matter how glorious the Huo Family became, it would have nothing to do with him.

Just like that, everyone waited for another 2 and a half minutes.

Finally, even Daoist He frowned slightly, looked at the agreed-upon time, and seemed somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Strange! Logically speaking, he should have arrived by now?"

"Perhaps... perhaps Grandmaster Jiang had something come up? Flew to another place temporarily?" Old Butler Fu scratched his head, also feeling quite strange.

Ding-a-ling-ling—

Just then, the subordinate responsible for contact suddenly received an urgent call.

"What?!"

"The plane malfunctioned? Crashed midway???"

"Can't contact the people in the cabin? Everyone died?"

...
