Supreme Emptiness

Uncle Master?

The leading disciple of the Supreme Sect Master, Hua Xiangchen, looked puzzled.

"Did I hear that right? Xia Chaoge called him Uncle Master?"

"He looks about the same age as us!"

In fact, what bothered him the most was...

When Xia Chaoge was with them, she was always cold and reserved, rarely speaking.

But upon seeing this young man, she actually showed a rare smile and warmly welcomed him.

This stark difference in attitude made him feel unsettled.

Sitting beside Hua Xiangchen was a tall girl exuding a faint medicinal scent. She was very pretty.

Although not as stunning as Xia Chaoge, she was still a rare beauty.

She glanced at Jiang Fan dismissively and said:

"He's a junior brother our master recognized from the Green Cloud Sect."

"I've heard he's a disciple without a Spirit Root from the Green Cloud Sect, named Jiang Fan."

"I really don't know what our master was thinking, introducing such an Uncle Master to us disciples of the Divine Doctor Peak. It's so embarrassing to even talk about it."

"Only Chaoge, kind-hearted, treats him as an Uncle Master."

"Which other brothers and sisters recognize him?"

Jiang Fan's reputation as a disciple without a Spirit Root had long spread throughout the Nine-Sect Land.

The disciples in the pavilion immediately understood.

The hostility in Hua Xiangchen's eyes faded away.

If such a disciple were in their Supreme Sect, he wouldn't even have the right to speak with him, the Big Senior Brother.

He was not qualified to compete with him at all.

Jiang Fan looked at the respectful Xia Chaoge, smiled lightly, and said, "No need for such formalities."

"Where is your master?"

Xia Chaoge replied, "Master is in seclusion refining elixirs, I will go and invite him now."

Upon knowing he was in seclusion,

Jiang Fan raised his hand to stop her: "No rush, we can wait until he finishes."

Anyways, he still had to wait for those task companions.

Glancing at the Supreme Sect disciples in the distance waiting for Xia Chaoge's return, Jiang Fan said, "Go ahead and continue your work, I'll come back later."

Xia Chaoge shook her head: "No, anyway, I don't like talking. I'm not much use there."

"It's rare for Uncle Master to visit the Supreme Sect, let me accompany you for a walk."

Compared to chatting with a group about the Martial Path,

She preferred solitude.

Or discussing the Medical Path with others.

The precious Beast King's Stomach that Jiang Fan gave her last time, she used it to refine elixirs, and the efficacy was much better indeed.

Because of this, she saved many people.

She was very happy.

She always wanted to thank this Uncle Master.

And it so happened that he came.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I have nothing to do anyway."

The disciples in the pavilion were dumbfounded.

"Junior Sister Yan, what's wrong with Junior Sister Chaoge?"

Hua Xiangchen couldn't understand.

The normally solitary Xia Chaoge, who never got close to anyone,

actually volunteered to accompany a young man for a stroll?

Sitting beside him, Yan Yuqing also looked unfamiliar with Xia Chaoge's attitude.

She had never seen Xia Chaoge so polite to a man before.

After thinking for a moment, she stood up and caught up with the two.

"Chaoge, Senior Brother Hua and several Senior Brothers and Sisters are waiting for you to return."

Xia Chaoge said calmly, "Senior Sister, it's fine as long as you're with them."

"I will accompany Uncle Master Jiang."

With those words, she went down the mountain with Jiang Fan.

How could Yan Yuqing let her go?

The sect competition was imminent. Hua Xiangchen took this rare opportunity to invite Xia Chaoge to come out and practice together.

To foster better relationships.

If she left, would this martial arts exchange meeting continue?

"Chaoge, please invite this... Uncle Master to join us."

Saying "Uncle Master" made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.

Xia Chaoge was unwilling.

But Jiang Fan could see that this group centered around Xia Chaoge.

If she didn't return, the martial arts exchange meeting would come to nothing.

He didn't want his arrival to ruin the meeting.

"Let's go together," Jiang Fan had to say.

This kind of occasion, like Xia Chaoge, he didn't like.

He had no choice but to attend reluctantly.

For Jiang Fan's participation,

The Supreme Sect disciples present were somewhat resistant.

If he were a prodigy from the Green Cloud Sect, like Liu Qingxian, Wang Chengjian, or Tang Tianlong, it would be acceptable.

But he was a disciple without a Spirit Root.

He seemed out of place in their martial arts discussions.

"Uncle Master, please sit here."

Xia Chaoge gave up her seat to him, then knelt beside him and poured him a cup of hot tea.

She looked like she was serving him attentively.

This made them even more uncomfortable.

Hua Xiangchen frowned slightly.

What was Xia Chaoge's status?

One of the top three prodigies, was Jiang Fan worthy of her service?

He didn't have any self-awareness!

He politely asked, "Junior Brother Jiang, how did you become Junior Sister Chaoge's Uncle Master?"

It seemed he was inquiring about the reasons,

but actually, he was questioning his qualifications.

Jiang Fan naturally heard the skepticism in his words and said calmly:

"I know a bit about medicine, and Divine Doctor Shangguan was kind enough to acknowledge me."

Knowing medicine?

So young, how advanced could his medical skills be?

Could it be that Shangguan Sheng was senile and acknowledged him on a whim?

Not to mention, the outer peak disciples couldn't stand this cheap Uncle Master.

Even the Divine Doctor Peak disciples didn't recognize him.

Yan Yuqing's eyes sparkled with a trace of disdain. She said, "Uncle Master, what a coincidence."

"We were just discussing how to treat injuries caused by demon beasts."

"Disciple Yan Yuqing would like to seek Uncle Master's advice."

Was she testing his medical skill?

Jiang Fan found it both amusing and annoying.

He had no intention of showing off the Undying Doctor's secrets, but since they had asked, he had no choice.

"Demon beasts harm in many ways: scratches, bites, collisions, poisoning, and illusions. Different wounds have different severities."

"How could I make a general conclusion?"

The others saw him speaking clearly and logically.

They couldn't help but be astonished.

He seemed to know his stuff?

Yan Yuqing remained unconvinced, though.

These were just basic judgments any three-year-old would know.

Yan Yuqing pretended to seek advice earnestly: "We were discussing poison injuries."

"If the poison has penetrated the limbs and bones, and reached the vital organs, making needles and herbs useless,"

"What do you think should be done?"

She glanced at one of their disciples subtly.

His face appeared normal, but he was actually deeply poisoned by a demon beast.

At that moment, Shangguan Sheng was preparing an antidote for him in seclusion.

Yan Yuqing wanted to see what diagnosis this cheap Uncle Master would come up with.

But no matter the diagnosis,

She would not accept it!

She intended to pick faults in his words and publicly refute him, making him lose face.

She aimed to make him too embarrassed to stay at Divine Doctor Peak.

Jiang Fan sighed inwardly.

Different types of poison required different treatments.

How could they be generalized?

Suddenly,

He glanced around, and his gaze fixed on one of the disciples.

He showed a trace of realization: "The poison penetrating bones you're talking about."

"Is it this disciple?"

Upon hearing this,

Yan Yuqing's expression froze.

The other disciples looked surprised.

How did he know?
