Chapter 14: Granny Mumu

Zhan Chen felt burning fury in his heart after seeing the bloody figure of uncle Lu. An imperceptible killing intent came out from him which managed to alert everyone present.

"Huh!", he exhaled deeply and tried to calm down his raging heart. After his rebirth he had never felt so much fury that he was feeling today. Even the matter of Gu clan trying to cripple him paled in comparison compared to today.

For him, uncle Lu was not merely a subordinate of Divine general's estate. He was the most amiable elder to him out of everyone present. When everyone started to distance themselves from him due to his failure in cultivation, he was the only one who stood behind him untill now. Due to this, uncle Lu had a special place in his heart.

Now seeing the most amiable elder in such a condition, Zhan Chen couldn't suppress the killing intent in his heart. "Little Chen, come to my side", he was just thinking what to do when he heard the voice of his eldest aunt.

Zhan Chen turned his head and saw his aunts sitting in one place. His big sister was also sitting with them. He could see the astonishment in the eyes of his aunts. He looked at the others and saw the same astonishment in their eyes.

"Young master, how did you manage to get up?", a middle aged man couldn't held his curiosity and asked. For a moment, everyone's attention shifted towards Zhan Chen.

"As expected. I still have to explain myself", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"A mysterious master is guiding me in my dream. Thanks to him, I can move now but it will take sometime to recover fully", Zhan Chen replied with a calm voice.

Everyone threw him a skeptical look but the explanation of Zhan Chen was a reasonable explanation. Otherwise how could a person who deemed untreatable could move in a mere week. So, no one bothered him anymore.

"Is alchemist Qi not here yet?",the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked in an anxious voice.

"No mam, Not yet. Deng Mingxin should be bringing him soon", one of the standing man bowed and replied.

"Mam, manager Deng Mingxin has come back", one of the guard outside bowed and informed. "Quick, tell him to enter", she ordered with a wave of her aunt.

A middle aged person entered soon after. Zhan Chen knew this man. He was one of the capable worker of Zhan estate. He helped uncle Lu with managing all sorts of matters of estate.

Currently his head was low and his face was grim. "Deng Mingxin, what happened? Where is alchemist Qi?", the eldest madam of Zhan estate asked in a confused voice. Her voice was slightly flustered in the end.

"Mam, Please punish me. I am a failure. I couldn't manage to invite master Qi", the middle aged manager spoke with his head lowered.

Zhan Chen frowned from side. He knew situation was not going good at the moment. He had already checked the condition of uncle Lu with his soul sense. Currently his internal bleeding had stopped but there were severe injuries all over his body. If he not got treated in time then his life would be threatened.

Zhan Chen had heard about this alchemist Qi. Besides the royal alchemist, he was the the most qualified pill master in the entire Red cloud city. "He must have rejected the invitation of Zhan's estate", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"How can this be? What should we do?", Zhan Chen heard the flustered voice of her aunt. "First sister, how about we approach the royal family?", the third aunt of Zhan Chen suggested.

"They will not help us. With the current situation, third sister how can you be so naive? Don't you understand who are the enemies of ours", Zhan Chen's second aunt spoke with gritted teeth.

Zhan Chen frowned after listening the words of his second aunt. With her words, how couldn't he understand what is going on at this moment. unless they were fool, anyone could tell that there was problem in the relationship with royal family.

"Xuehua, speak no further. Ranqing, go and fetch the saint medicine from the storage. Saving Jie Lu is our priority at this moment", a aged voice came from a distance.

The voice was hoarse. Yet, it managed to calm down the situation in the hall immediately. There was very few in the Zhan estate who dare to call the madams by name and it was obvious that the owner of the hoarse voice was one of them.

"Granny Mumu, when will you come out of seclusion? Is mother-in-law alright?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke with an agitated voice.

"I will come out tomorrow. We will talk about everything then. First go to storage and fetch the saint medicine", the hoarse voice came after a slight pause.

A delighted and hopeful expression appeared on Jie Ranqing's face. She stood up and went outside. Zhan Chen shuddered after listening to the earlier voice.

He felt a soul sense scanning him earlier and he had a feeling that it was Granny Mumu who was checking him. "How is it possible? How can granny Mumu possess soul sense", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

Although he had seen plenty of experts with soul sense, it was in his previous life. In this life, he had never expected to meet such an expert in such a tiny place like Red cloud kingdom. "But there is some problem with her soul sense. It is too much weak compared to normal experts. It is sure that she is injured", Zhan Chen had a conjecture inside his mind.

Zhan Chen had long known about this mysterious expert of Zhan's estate. She was an old woman who always followed behind his grandmother. Zhan Chen had heard that her grandmother had a powerful background but for some reason he couldn't go back to his home.

"It explains why such an expert is staying beside grandmother. Previously I have no way to treat grandmother but now that I have gained the memory of my previous life, I will have a look on her".
