Chapter 162: Butler Wan
"Eh?"
Both Chen Tian and Ming Ming looked at the door, bewildered. Standing in the doorway was a tall, old figure with piercing eyes and a stern expression.
"B-Butler Wan, you're here!!" Ming Ming's expression immediately changed after seeing Butler Wan in front of the door.
"What do you think you're doing, young Miss? Butler Wan asked, his expression darkening after seeing the sight inside the room.
He noticed his master's disciple lying on the ground, unconscious, with a red and swollen face from a recent slap.
Butler Wan clenched his fists, anger boiling within him.
"Are you the one who did this?" Butler Wan asked in a low, menacing voice, his eyes narrowing with fury.
Killing intent rose within him as he glared at Chen Tian.
The room fell silent as Butler Wan's presence filled the air, sending chills down Ming Ming's spine.
Because of the sudden intruder, Butler Wan's killing intent became palpable, causing the poor Ming Ming in the room to freeze in fear.
Butler Wan was furious that someone had the audacity to sneak to the place where his master was resting.
Because the young Miss came here with Liang Wei and other bodyguards, he decided to take a break and left to go buy his favorite goat milk that he always likes to drink.
However, he never anticipated that he would return to find an unfamiliar face in the room and the family bodyguards lying unconscious on the floor.
The sight of the intruder filled Butler Wan with a deep sense of dread and anger as he realized the safety of his master was compromised.
Butler Wan's eyes narrowed, and his fists clenched as he assessed the situation.
His loyalty to his master ignited a fiery determination within him to protect him at all costs.
"W-Wait!!" Ming Ming stammered, her voice trembling with fear.
The pressure that Butler Wan was putting on wasn't normal; he was the second Divine martial artist in the family after her grandfather and father.
Not only that he was her grandfather's trusted subordinate who had been with him since he was a young boy.
Butler Wan had always been there to protect and serve the family.
Even her father couldn't give orders to Butler Wan; he only followed her grandfather's commands.
Butler Wan swiftly turned his attention to Ming Ming, his expression softening slightly.
"Stay behind me, Young Miss," he commanded, his voice firm and reassuring.
With a steady gaze, Butler Wan stepped forward, ready to face the intruder head-on and defend his master with every ounce of his strength.
"W-Wait, Uncle Wan, you misunderstood!" Ming-Ming stammered. She went in front of Butler Wan and pleaded, "Please, give me a chance to explain. He is not an intruder, but... a friend."
Butler Wan's stern expression softened as he looked at Ming Ming with a curious expression.
He hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether to trust her judgment. However, the unwavering conviction in Ming Ming's eyes convinced him to lower his guard.
"Very well, Young Miss," he finally nodded, stepping back and allowing Ming Ming to explain to him what had happened here.
"Huff" Ming Ming sighed in relief as Butler Wan was willing to listen to her, unlike Liang Wei, who didn't let her speak.
Chen Tian just watched from the side as Ming Ming explained the events that had taken place.
He didn't say anything and continued observing the new figure that entered the room. Chen Tian's curiosity grew as he studied the mysterious newcomers.
He sensed that the old man, appearing to be in his fifties, possessed the power of the First Stage of Qi Refinement.
"He said that he could cure my grandfather's illness." Ming Ming explained everything that happened here to Butler Wan.
Butler Wan had a shocked expression on his face as he had a hard time believing his young Miss words.
An 18-year-old Divine Martial Artist!!
In his most unimaginable dreams, he never once considered that someone could achieve it.
He had heard tales of prodigies who achieved great feats, but he had never witnessed someone this young reaches the Divine Martial Stage firsthand.
Butler Wan's disbelief slowly turned into awe.
If what the young Miss said was true, then he was in the presence of an extraordinary talent.
His mind raced with the possibilities, but the important thing now that youth is in front of him can help his master cure his illness.
"Hello, young man. I'm Wan Weimin; you can call me Butler Wan, and I'm sorry for trying to attack you so suddenly." Butler Wan extended his hand towards the young prodigy and apologized.
"It's okay; I can understand after seeing this kind of sight inside the room," Chen Tian replied.
He didn't take it to heart and instead focused on the opportunity that lay before him.
Another person that he could experiment on was Butler Wan, and since Butler Wan has the Qi refinement strength, he would be the perfect subject for Chen Tian's research on how the people cultivated on Earth.
Chen Tian still remembered that he wasn't able to feel the Qi in the air on Earth, even with his knowledge as an Immortal who lived for countless years.
It was only after he returned to the cultivation world that he felt the Qi flowing abundantly around him.
This discovery piqued Chen Tian's curiosity, and he became determined to unravel the mystery of Earth's cultivation methods.
Because even after sensing the Qi on Earth, Chen Tian felt it was too poor for any cultivator to achieve significant progress.
If he just made use of the Qi on Earth, Chen Tian would still be in the early Stage of body refinement even after 3 to 5 years.
Butler Wan, with his Qi refinement strength, presented the ideal opportunity for Chen Tian to conduct his research and uncover the secrets of Earth's cultivation techniques.
After apologizing to Chen Tian about Liang Wei's attitude and discussing his master's treatment, he sighed in relief, knowing that his master could be cured.
"Now I should help you, old man," Chen Tian thought looking at the figure sleeping on the bed.
"Young man, do you have any idea what the cause of Master Illness is?" Butler Wan asked, his eyes filled with hope and desperation.
Chen Tian hesitated for a moment before replying, "The old man doesn't have any illness." Chen Tian replied calmly, shocking both Ming Ming and Butler Wang.
"A curse? Does something like that really exist?" Ming Ming asked, and from her voice, she clearly didn't believe in such things.
But Butler Wan had a different opinion, his face showing a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
He was clearly more experienced in the world of the supernatural than the little girl.
"I have heard stories of curses before. They are said to be powerful people who can bring great misfortune to those who are unfortunate enough to be cursed.
Don't tell me that Master's condition may be the result of such a curse!"
Chen Tian nodded solemnly, explaining what the curse does.
Hearing his explanation Ming Ming had a scared look on her face as she processed the implications of what Chen Tian had just revealed.
As for Butler Wan, his expression turned solemn, and anger filled his eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly, vowing to find the one responsible for casting the curse on Master and make them pay for the suffering they had caused.
"Chen Tian, is it difficult to remove this curse?" Ming Ming asked, clearly believing his words.
Chen Tian sighed and replied, "It is not an easy task. The curse is ancient and powerful, designed to eat away the victim's life force without them realizing."
A cold shiver ran down Ming Ming's spine as he heard Chen Tian's words.
"Then grandfather is..."
"Don't worry it's hard for a normal person to remove the curse," Chen Tian interrupted, trying to reassure Ming Ming.
"But I have studied about curses before and know a way to break the curse."
Chen Tian told a lie; he couldn't reveal that he had the advantage of having Chaos Insight to assist him.
"So, I'll begin the treatment immediately," Chen Tian stated with confidence.
"Are you sure? Don't you need any ingredients?" Butler Wan asked, his voice filled with doubt.
Chen Tian shook his head and looked at Butler Wan. "No, this curse is different. I have everything I need right here," he replied, pointing to his hand.
On his hand was a green pill.
This pill was nothing more than a simple healing pill. It might not be top-notch in quality, but it would get the job done.
Of course, the pill wasn't to remove the curse from the old man's body but to heal the old man's body later, after Chen Tian start removing the curse, the green pill had special properties that could enhance the body's natural healing abilities.
And the pill was made out of vital herbs and plants that were known for their rejuvenating properties.
So it could help the old man's life force regenerate and strengthen, allowing him to recover more quickly from any ailments or injuries that he may encounter during the curse removal process.
