Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator
Chapter 17: Hidden enemies
Zhan Chen looked at Zhan Qingyue with a heated gaze. He was just going to take off his robe when he detect movement within his soul perception. "Big sis, we have to stop. Put on your dress. Aunts are coming to visit me", Zhan Chen said with urgency in his voice.
He knew he had to explain the details about his recovery from injuries but the timing made him frustrated. "What! How do you know?", Zhan Qingyue asked in a flustered voice.
"It is no time for chitchat. Quickly put on your clothes", Zhan Chen urged her. Zhan Qingyue hurriedly put on her clothes.
"Knock, knock", knocking sounds came from the door. "Little Chen open your door", came the voice of eldest aunt of Zhan Chen. "Coming", Zhan Chen replied and hurried towards the door. By the time his aunts came inside, Zhan Qingyue had already put on her clothes. Zhan Chen sighed in relief. Although he wanted to make his big sister his woman but it had to wait untill he become powerful.
"Little Chen, how are you feeling? What you says earlier, is it true? Do you really find a powerful expert as your teacher", his eldest aunt asked seriously. Seeing the urgency in her voice, he could guess many things. Although he was only fifteen now but he was a powerful expert in his past life. No matter how much his aunts and his mother wanted to hide facts from him, he had already found out the true situation of Zhan's estate.
"Aunt, I have recovered thanks to my teacher. Otherwise how is it possible to recover on my own", Zhan Chen looked at his eldest aunt confidently. "Stretch your hand. I want to check myself", his aunt ordered him.
Zhan Chen obediently stretched his hand as he had nothing to hide. His eldest aunt poured a trace of essence energy into his body and her solemn face quickly changed to one of astonishment.
"Good", she uttered after checking for a while. "Big sis, how is it?", his third aunt looked at his eldest aunt. "It is good. Little Chen's body is completely fine now. Otherwise I don't know how could have I faced mother-in-law", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen replied with a relieved voice.
"Does it means this little brat is telling truth?", his second aunt exclaimed. "Yes, he is telling the truth. We all have already checked his body before. It was hopeless even with grade three medicines but his body is fully recovered now. His body is now much stronger compared to his previous self", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen explained.
"Hmph! So, it is true. Finally this little brat finds some dog shit luck. He is approaching sixteen yet he is still hopeless. I hope he can treasure this chance and not mess around", his second aunt snorted in reply.
AdvertisementsIf it was the previous Zhan Chen, he would have got back to her immediately but the current Zhan Chen wouldn't do so. He only looked calmly towards his second aunt.
The previous Zhan Chen didn't understand why his second aunt always redicule him but now he could understand clearly. His second aunt had great expectations from him but in these five years he had completely disappointed her. So, her temper was always bad towards him.
"Qingyue, why are you here?", his second aunt looked at his daughter. For previous Zhan Chen it was always a dilemma. He didn't like his second aunt but as his daughter, his big sister had always pampered and protected him. So, he always secretly complained to heaven when his aunt chided his big sis for him.
"Mother, I will enter seclusion after tomorrow's ceremony", Zhan Qingyue replied calmly. "You better practice diligently. Your father has high expectation from you. Don't disappoint him", his second aunt looked towards Zhan Qingyue in a stern voice.
"Second sister, don't be so hard on her. We all know how hard Qingyue is trying. Just believe in her. She will surpass us eventually", Zhan Chen's eldest aunt said in a comforting voice.
"Little Chen, can I meet your master?", his eldest aunt turned her gaze towards him. "Here it comes", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He knew Zhan's estate was now being threatened by hidden enemies. So, his big aunt anxiously came for him. She hoped to obtain the help of his master to strengthen the Zhan's estate.
But he knew it was impossible. There was no way they could obtain the help of evil emperor. "Aunt, my master has made it clear that he will not involve himself in my family matter. I have to fend for myself when there is any problem", Zhan Chen replied to her.
"Oh! He has no intention to help us", his eldest aunt muttered dejected. "Does not matter. We still have to thank him for his benevolence. Convey our regards to him", his eldest aunt said after a while.
"Second sister, third sister. Let's go. We have to prepare for tomorrow's event", his eldest aunt spoke to his other aunts Zhan could see the disappoint in his words. "Aunt, please wait s minute. There is another matter", Zhan Chen called from behind.
His eldest aunt turned her gaze in confusion. A frown appeared in the head of his second aunt as he looked at him. "Little Chen, is there anything you need?", his eldest aunt asked amiably.
"Aunt, teacher is against helping our family directly but it doesn't mean he has no means to help us. He has already agreed to check upon the injuries of grandmother", Zhan Chen spoke in a confidence tone.
Advertisements"Oh!", the eyes of his aunts lit up as a result. "Little Chen, can he really treat mother in law?", his eldest aunt looked at him with an agitated appearance on her face. His other aunts had also same agitated appearance.
Zhan Chen observed their faces. He had a calm expression all along but his mood became heavy inside his heart. "Yes, master is a alchemy grandmaster. So, he has a high chance in treating grand mother", Zhan Chen replied in a calm voice.
Ecstatic expression appeared on his aunts faces but they hid their emotions quickly. "Little Chen, you have done well. Study properly under your teacher and convey our regards to him", his eldest aunt said sternly. Zhan Chen nodded his head.
Zhan Qingyue left soon after his aunts left. She didn't want to close the door again. Otherwise, it would look suspicious to others. She promised to come after launch.
Zhan Chen sat cross-legged on his bed. He had no mood to think abound his big sister now. He was thinking about the problem, the Zhan family was facing now. His ears suddenly perked up as his aunts started to talk about the current issues of the Zhan estate.
