Chapter 13
Ling Huang could see for himself how aggressive Lin Sheng’s attacks were. Lin Sheng was way more potent than those so-called “Masters” that he had seen before.
His team of hired bodyguards was considered elite, many of whom were veterans who had retired from the army. However, they could not hold a candle to Lin Sheng’s fighting abilities.
Even an outsider like him who knew next to nothing about the way or the warrior could tell how remarkable Lin Sheng’s fearsome attacks were.
However, he still lost to Lu Xuan. The difference in strength was apparent, even to the untrained eye.
Going a step further, Lin Sheng even said that Lu Xuan’s strength was comparable to his master.
While others may not know who Lin Sheng’s master was, Ling Huang couldn’t be more clear. A man who had accumulated wealth to become an ultra-rich at this level would know a thing or two that most ordinary men would not.
Long renowned, the teacher of Lin Sheng’s master was extremely famous and highly respected in the Warriors’ circle. He was even one of the palace consecrates, in charge of the safety of the inner palace.
“It’s comfortable! My heart’s all warm and fuzzy!”
1Ling Yu answered.
Ling Huang and Ling Fei finally heaved a sigh of relief at his answer.
“Mr. Lu, how was Xiao-yu’s condition?” Ling Huang turned and asked Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan paused to ponder, before continuing, “Xiao-yu’s condition is quite serious. It is, after all, congenital heart disease. That’s why…”
Ling Huang and Ling Fei’s hearts leaped to their throats at once. However, Lu Xuan said right after, “That’s why there’s no way to cure him in one session. It will take around a month, once a week. His heart should return to the condition of that of a normal person’s after a month!”
Upon hearing his words, Ling Huang and Ling Fei were finally relieved. Ling Fei couldn’t help but throw him a charismatic eye roll. Who told him to halt midway while talking?
2Lu Xuan simply returned her a mild smile. Playing a small prank was nice sometimes.
In his previous life, he was vengeful and miserable. However, things had changed ever since he reincarnated. His parents, family, and everyone he treasured were still alive, which significantly improved his mentality.
That’s right. This life, he would never let the tragedies of his past life repeat themselves. Not even one!
“Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Mr. Lu!” Ling Huang thanked him profusely. Even if he had gone through all sorts of trials and ordeals in his life, he could not help but become agitated at this point.
Ling Yu was his only son and the only hope of their family. Ling Yu’s heart condition had always weighed heavily on his heart. Now that Lu Xuan could heal Ling Yu, it was equivalent to him saving the future of the Lu family. How could he not be thankful?
“Wait for me, Mr. Lu!”
Ling Huang said as he left the room. Moments later, he came back with a bright red wooden box. Passing it to Lu Xuan, he explained, “You have saved my children twice, Mr. Lu. I have nothing much that I can use to repay you, and I know that you might not be interested in worldly things. This is a 300-year-old King of Ginseng that I won on an auction two years ago. I was saving it as a final life-saving measure, but I think that it would be much more useful for cultivators like you, Mr. Lu!”

Lu Xuan opened the wooden box, revealing a root of ginseng that had almost grown into the shape of a human.
Lin Sheng, who remained calm and collected behind Ling Huang all this while, felt his breath hitch at the sight of that ginseng.
He knew too well about the rarity of a 300-year King of Ginseng. It could cost upwards of eight to ten million in the auction houses.
It was one of the highest grade ginsengs one could find in the market. As for the thousand-year ginseng, they would be national treasures even if they existed. One could only find then in the inner palace, or within reputable and longstanding families with unparalleled histories and legacies.
