The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1243

(Unedited)

…

The two wanted to stop the eldest son of their master, but they were blocked by two guards who were following the group.

As the door opens, the two wanted to say something but instead grit their teeth as they too look inside.

To their surprise, all they could see is a clean bed and an old man lying unconscious on it.

"Any time now… father…" the middle-aged man muttered as he showed a slight smirk on his face.

Ever since he was young, he tried to please his father in every way. But no matter what he does, he would always be in the wrong. He did not why but the old man would always highlight his mistakes rather than his merits. It was too vexing for him that he developed hatred towards his own father.

As time went by, he did what he has to and lived as he fit, but this is still not acceptable to his father.

And then one day, he heard that his father will be passing the position of the patriarch to their cousin\'s son, Ban Railong.

As the oldest son, how could he accept such a thing?

He suddenly recalled that night when he was talking with his father.

"Do you know why I will not give you the position of the clan head?" his father asked.

"Yes, I wanted to know what I did wrong? I have been following your command in every way. Why? Why would you rather choose cousin\'s son than me?"

"You really did not know your own mistakes? Are you that stupid, or are you thinking that what you did are justifiable? To abuse your authority, you spend your time gambling, you splurge on women, you did not act like properly behind my back… Now tell, me… are you worthy to be the clan head?"

"Father… those things… those things are minor things. I did what you asked of me… I have been diligent?"

"Hahaha… Get out of my face this instant or I might kill you." His father got angry which made him run away in fear.

While thinking as such, he showed a sneer on his face.

"You think that I don\'t have ways to deal with you… Hehe…" he thought as he slowly closes the door.

The two guards outside look at each other in confusion but regained their composure as the group walks away.

"You two, guard your master till the end… Hehehe…"

"Yeah, maybe you\'ll be buried with him because of your piety…"

"Yes, you and Ban Railong… We will make sure that you three will join father."

The group mocked as they left.

After they got out of the dungeon the two guards could not help but look at each other in confusion and wanted to take a peek inside. But they held on to their curiosity and decided to just stand on guard outside.

Meanwhile, inside the room… Xuanlong is calmly standing near the bed while looking directly at the door.

His eyes are glowing red, and even after the door has closed she did not lower her guard and continues looking at it.

Xuanlong\'s eyes produce illusions that she wanted to project. It is one of her, innate powers, that she discovered as she grows in strength.

Meanwhile, behind her, the people are already busy with their tasks.

The operation has already started a while ago and they are now in the middle of a very delicate procedure.

Xin Ja has already put his focus on the patient as he could feel the strong aura coming from Master Ban.

"Even though he is already in this state, he could still produce such powerful Ki resonance. Truly terrifying…" he muttered.

"Yes, I can feel my body feeling a bit weak just by standing near him…" Master Yu who is standing beside Xin Ja commented.

The group spends around 2 hours of the difficult operation before they ended.

If this happened in a normal operation, it would take more than 7 to 9 hours or more. But with the skill of Xin Ja and the use of pills and potions, it only took them 2 hours.

The group sits calmly on the side while waiting for the time. They even began talking and laughing. Well with Xuanlong in place, and with the help of the talisman inside the room, they could make noises all they want but it would not be heard outside.

An hour later…

Ugh…

They heard the sound of Master Ban waking up.

The old man opens his eyes and the first thing he noticed at the four men sitting on the side not too far from him.

He frowns but then showed realization when he remembers who one of them is.

"Do… Doctor Shin? You… did you just operate on me?" Master Ban asked in a confused state.

"Yes… Why? Do you feel anything strange from your head, Master Ban?" Xin Ja asked while checking the condition of the old man with his absolute sense.

"No… I mean… I just feel like waking up from a deep sleep."

"Ah, Yes… That is the effect of the poison given to you…" Xin Ja suddenly showed a crafty smile.

Although he would help people, he is not a saint or a hypocrite. He did not like scheming sometimes so he would sometimes be straightforward. And today is one of those days that he felt like being frank and up-front.

When the three medical masters heard his words, their mouths suddenly twitched. They did not expect that the young man would say such a thing.

But to their astonishment, Master Ban did not say a word and just nodded his head.

"I know… I suspected as much… But thank you for helping me…" Master Ban politely cupped his hands.

"Umm… No worries, you\'ve paid us in advance… so this is as much as we can do… Oh, another thing… would you mind helping us leave this place through the front door? I don\'t want to sneak out this late at night…" Xin Ja showed a slight smile after saying that.

This time, Master Ban\'s mouth twitched.

He was sick and had just undergone a dangerous operation, why would this young man say such words.

But when he remembers the rumors about the ability of these four doctors before him, he suddenly has enlightenment.

Without hesitation, he checked his body thoroughly and was shocked.

He did not have any wounds. His head where there should be some problem from before is already looking fine. He could not help but feel a bit stunned.

"You guys truly live up to your name." Master Ban could not help but remark.

He slowly stood up from the bed and then flexes his muscles a bit. Then he carefully uses his Ki to travel through his body.

"Ah, wait… Do not use the Ki too much in your head… The muscles have not yet bonded that strongly… You need a day or two to fully bond them…" Xin Ja warned.

With this warning, Master Ban nodded his head.

He delivered a few punches in the air and nodded in contentment.

He wore the robe that is already prepared on the side and carefully checked himself.

At this time, Xuanlong is already lazily sitting on Xin Ja\'s shoulder with her eyes closed.

Xin Ja patted her head and said.

"Good work today…" he then takes out a small Ki stone and gave it to her.

Xuanlong did not hesitate to gobble the Ki stone in one go.

When the door opened, the two guards were surprised but did not say anything. But when they saw who is walking out, the two quickly jumped back in astonishment.

"Ma… Master… Master, you\'re fine… Master, you\'re doing fine now!…" cried the two guards as they kowtowed on the ground.

Their eyes are brimming with tears while looking at their old master.

"*sigh… You two are still crybabies… How long have you been serving me and you are still like this? Come let us go out of this place…"

When Master Ban saw and learned that his three children actually put him inside this dungeon, he immediately felt enraged.

"How could those Ingrate treat me like this?!" he thought as he is already burning with the desire to punish those three.

"Master Ban… Hold your temper… Remember your operation." Xin Ja warned.

Master Ban quickly recovered and nodded his head.

…

Meanwhile, in one of the hotels in the city

Inside a large room, Han Xuhao, Rong Beiyin, along with Song Talin, are sitting around a table.

The atmosphere is a bit heavy as they all feel sad for Han Xuhao.

The guy went here to assist in the operation and could finally see who Doctor Shin is. But who would have thought that they discovered that the family is actually against the operation?

Many of the medical masters are disappointed upon hearing such news.

"I did not expect that Master Ban\'s three children would oppose strongly…" Han Xuhao grumbled.

"*sigh… Even if we wanted to, but as long as his family did not want it to happen, there is nothing we can do…" Song Talin said trying to comfort his friend.

"Hey, instead of feeling down, why don\'t we go around the city for some fun? I heard that 2 days from now there would be a hoverbike race! Let\'s see it!" Rong Beiyin said enthusiastically.
