Green City, in a magnificent manor.
A man in his fifties, dressed in noble clothes, was walking around in a room that had the air of a little girl. He was clenching his hands tightly in front of his chest, his thick eyebrows were raised in fear, and his deep eyes were filled with worry and love.
This person was the City Lord of Green City, Albright. At this moment, he was anxiously waiting in the room of his youngest daughter, Aches. Behind the red bead curtain, there was a girl around 13 or 14 years old, dressed in beautiful white clothes. She was lying on the bed without any movement, and her breathing could almost be ignored. Even though her complexion was as white as paper and without the slightest trace of blood, it could still be seen that when the little girl wasn't sick, she was still a little treasure that everyone loved. White light flashed on her body again and again, but she was still the same, without any change.
The white-bearded old man who was currently casting magic on his daughter was a Light Mage whom Albright had spent a huge sum of effort to invite directly from the Hall of Light to become a basic level Magister. He himself didn't know how many light mages he had invited.
Aches was born of his favorite concubine, who died of blood loss after giving birth to her. In his life, he had a large group of wives and concubines, but he only had two sons. Aches was fourteen years old, and on top of him, there was an older brother who was ten years older than her. His older brother's talent in martial arts was quite good. When he was very young, he was sent to the academy to study, and when he grew up, he began to wander the world. He rarely returned home. Thus, she became the center of everyone's care in the City Lord's Mansion. Not only because she was beautiful and adorable, intelligent and well-read, but also because she was a level eight mage apprentice at such a young age, which meant she had a high chance of becoming a real mage.
One had to know that there were very few people who could learn magic, and it was extremely rare for someone to pass the test and become a real mage. Now, with the development of Aches, her future was limitless. Before this, she had been studying magic at a school not far from Green City, and her days had been beautiful.
However, she confirmed the words "extreme happiness leads to sorrow". Just two months ago, she had fainted on the ground, but after waking up, it was as if nothing had happened. No one paid much attention to this matter. After that, he fainted several more times and the frequency of him fainting increased. However, each time, he would just need to throw a light spell. However, just a month ago, she had fallen unconscious for no reason, just like before. But this time, no matter how she used light magic, she didn't show any signs of waking up.
At this time, the white light stopped flashing, and the white-bearded old man slowly walked out.
Albright hurried over and asked anxiously, "Respected mage, I wonder how my daughter is doing?"
The white-bearded old man wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed, "Sire, your daughter is sick. There is no rule of law. Prepare to face the consequences!" As he said that, he shook his head. Ignoring the fact that Albright was frozen on the spot, he walked straight out.
At this moment, it was as if he had turned into an old man that had reached the end of his life. The wrinkles on his face immediately appeared. It was a long time before Albright turned his head to his daughter's room and trudged in. He sat on the edge of the bed and held his daughter's cold hand to his chest. Unknowingly, a few drops of old tears flowed down his face along with the wrinkles.
Outside the city leader's mansion.
After half a day, Tian Cheng and his two younger brothers finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing the city lord's mansion, Vader opened his small mouth and said excitedly, "Wow! Big brother, this city has already surprised me. I didn't expect that this city lord's mansion would surprise me even more than I did in the past!"
"That's right!" "Big brother, how many people live in such a big house?" Wes added.
Looking at these two rural children who entered the city for the first time, Tian Cheng smiled and said, "In the future, the things you guys see here will be ten or a hundred times more beautiful than this place. As long as you work hard, it's not impossible that you'll have houses thousands of times more beautiful than this place. So don't be surprised. Let's go in! " As he spoke, he pulled his two younger brothers inside the gate.
"What are you doing!?" What are you doing! If the City Lord's Mansion dares to barge in, are you brats courting death? " When the two guards saw Tian Cheng appear, they quickly stopped him and shouted.
Tian Cheng sized up the two men. Beneath a simple red vest, strong muscles bulged out. Judging from the energy emitted from the muscles, Tian Cheng was sure that the two of them were stronger than a level 9 elementalist. They were at least level 1 elementalists. The sabre hung firmly on his waist, as if it had no intention of being unsheathed. They did not think that this eighteen or nineteen year old teenager and his two children would do anything big.
Tian Cheng didn't come here for any major reason. He smiled at the two big men and said, "My two big brothers, I came to look for the mayor for an urgent matter. Please pass on the message. This is your fare. " As he spoke, he took out a few gold coins and placed it in their hands.
Both of them took the gold coins and smiled to themselves as they hurriedly put them away. However, even though they received money, it did not mean that they knew how to handle matters. Recently, they had found a pattern, and normally, after the young lady was cured by a mage, disturbing the mayor would be courting death. They still had two brothers in bed. Therefore, this time was no exception. What they were least afraid of was these commoners finding trouble with them.
Ye Zichen put away the weird smile on his face, and switched his fiendish look back to a ferocious one. Just when he was about to curse loudly … A wave of pressure tightly wrapped around them. Their faces instantly turned pale, and their legs couldn't help but tremble. After a while, they stuttered, "Stop …" "Stop …"
Tian Cheng let out a cold snort and withdrew his aura. The two of them immediately collapsed to the ground, covered in cold sweat. Actually, when they revealed strange smiles, Tian Sheng had guessed that these people wouldn't be so obedient. In this world, if you didn't give him a little bit of color, he would just treat you like thin air. Therefore, Tian Cheng didn't mind teaching them a lesson. With his current might, he would not have any problem dealing with two Level 1 Origin Qi Scholars.
"Young master, please wait. We will go inform him immediately." At this moment, when they looked at Tian Cheng, there was only fear and reverence in their eyes. They did not dare to slack off in the slightest. For such a young man to force them into such a state with just his aura, what kind of ordinary person would he be? Just as they were about to turn around, they stopped and quickly took out the gold coins that Tian Cheng had given them and respectfully placed them in front of Tian Cheng. They lowered their heads and pleaded, "Young master, I have offended you with my eyes, please do not mind."
Tian Cheng didn't need to be polite and directly accepted it. Originally, he didn't have much money, so there was no need to slap him on the face to make him fat. Seeing that Tian Cheng took back the money so easily, the two of them let out a sigh of relief and quickly left. Having been a bodyguard for so long, they knew what money they could take and what money they couldn't.
"Master, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He said that he has something important to tell you." The guard bowed and reported outside the door.
"No, tell him to scram!" A low, cold voice came from inside, without any emotion.
"But, that person …" Before he could finish his sentence, the person inside bellowed, "I said, tell him to scram!" The doors and windows trembled due to his shout. Most likely, everyone in the mansion heard this yell. "Yes …" "Yes …" The guard didn't dare to say another word as he hastily retreated. He had no doubt that if he stayed any longer, his life would be over.
Outside the door.
The two red-clothed guards respectfully spoke to Tian Cheng, "My apologies, Young Master. Our Old Master is not in a good mood right now and does not wish to meet anyone. Please come back in a few days!"
Tian Cheng nodded his head. He had clearly heard the loud roar just now. It was perfectly understandable for a father to show this emotion when his daughter was ill for a long time. However, even though he understood, he was in a hurry. There were only ten or so days until the Royal Academy would be recruiting students. If he missed out on some time, then he really couldn't make sense of it.
At this moment, a thought flashed through Tian Cheng's mind and his eyes lit up. He moved closer to the two guards and whispered into their ears, "Tell your Master that I can cure your Miss's illness."
There was no helping it, they could only use a crucial strategy at a critical moment. However, Tian Cheng wasn't spouting nonsense. He still had something he could rely on to save and treat people. Not to mention that he had previously studied the causes, results, and methods of treatment of many cases. Just by saying that he had a powerful spiritual force and the ability to create heaven and earth origin force, he should have a great grasp over some cases. If he couldn't save him, then there was nothing he could do. At the moment, the most important thing was to see the City Lord first.
Within the manor, outside the young girl's room.
The red-clothed guard stood there once again. This time, he did not tremble in fear. Instead, he shouted with excitement, "Master!"
"Didn't I already say it? Don't bother me! Tell him to scram! "
"No, sir," said the man, "it will save the young lady."
Just as he finished speaking, the door opened with a bang.
Aubrey, who still had tears in his eyes, rushed out, grabbed the guard and shouted, "Where is he? Quickly go and invite him in! "
