Qian Changle continued, "This tiled house is normally where my father lives, but he has been in poor health recently, so I brought him to the villa for constant care."
Xu Hao looked around and saw the area was indeed very quiet, it must be that the mbers of the Qian family living here knew of Elder Qian's temperant and dared not to make noise loudly.
However, Xu Hao frowned slightly as he sensed an unusual aura in the place, similar to Evil Qi, yet containing an extrely malevolent energy.
Just then, a middle-aged couple walked out of the main house together.
Qian Changle introduced, "Young Master Xu, this is my second brother, Qian Wei Le, and this is my sister-in-law."
The couple glanced at Xu Hao without paying much attention and instead said to Qian Changle, "Big brother, didn't dicine King Lei say that he couldn't save our father anymore? Why have you invited him again?"
Qian Wei Le's wife also said, "Yeah, big brother, why bother dicine King again? dicine King is so famous, there must be a lot of people seeking his dical help every day. Your repeated invitations are just making it harder for him, aren't they?"
Qian Changle replied, "That won't be the case. I've just gone out with dicine King Lei for a while, and it wasn't to see him off. Second brother, don't worry about this. Now that dicine King Lei's master has arrived, our father's illness will definitely be resolved easily."
"dicine King Lei's master?"
Qian Wei Le's expression changed slightly. He scrutinized Xu Hao and the others, puzzled, "This is Doctor Guan Wenzhi, dicine King Lei's disciple. I know him, but I haven't seen dicine King Lei's master!"
Qian Changle said with a smile, "Young Master Xu here is the master of dicine King Lei."
"Him? This kid? Big brother, can you stop joking? How old is this kid? In his twenties? How could he possibly be the master of dicine King Lei?"
Qian Wei Le imdiately burst into laughter, "dicine King Lei is over seventy years old now, isn't he? Wouldn't his master be nearly a hundred? You're telling this twenty-sothing year-old kid is his master? dicine King Lei, my big brother's words are clearly mocking you, aren't you angry?"
Lei Qianjue laughed, "Why should I be angry? Mr. Qian is telling the truth, Young Master Xu is indeed my master."
"How... How is that possible!" Qian Wei Le instantly beca flustered. Young Master Xu looked so young, how could he possibly be the master of Lei Qianjue?
Qian Wei Le's wife said, "Is this... Could this be the legendary Art of Rejuvenation?"
"Possibly, as far as I can see, only this explanation makes sense," Qian Wei Le quickly agreed.
Xu Hao was speechless in his heart, this couple sure had wild imaginations.
But he didn't bother to engage with them, instead his eyes ward slightly as he instantly saw inside the house despite the distance.
However, when Xu Hao clearly saw what was inside, his expression turned ice cold in an instant!
He saw in a dark corner of the old mansion, an old man dressed in black, holding an orb the size of a fist, enveloped in a faintly visible layer of black Evil Qi.
Xu Hao quickly deduced that the object the man was holding was the "Bloodthirsty Orb," a low-level Magic Artifact said to be a replica of the legendary Bloodthirsty Orb.
This evil object could absorb the Essence Blood from a human body and then feedback so to its owner to strengthen the owner's vitality and blood.
With strengthened vitality and blood, one would appear energetic, and their lifespan might be slightly extended. Help us continue by reading at the source: *.
Linked to it was another Magic Artifact called "Soul Capturing," an evil device specifically designed to absorb people's life force, making them lose their minds and beco like the walking dead.
A suspicion arose in Xu Hao's mind. Without soone from the villa complex leading the way or a special door card, it was impossible to enter, and this was where the branch families of the Qian family lived, heavily guarded. How did the sorcerer get in?
Could it be?
He glanced at Qian Wei Le and his wife, as if he had found an answer, and smiled, "Before treating Elder Qian, I would like to visit the residence he regularly occupies."
Although Qian Changle didn't know what Xu Hao was up to, he still said without hesitation, "Of course, that's fine, Young Master Xu, please."
Qian Wei Le's eyes flickered twice, but he raised no objections.
Could it be that I've guessed wrong?
Suspecting, Xu Hao followed Qian Changle into the old mansion, with Qian Wei Le and his wife trailing along.
Xu Hao didn't pay much attention to the antique furnishings, but went straight to a secluded small room.
The faces of Qian Wei Le and his wife changed slightly, and they looked at Xu Hao with a sowhat nervous deanor.
Xu Hao suddenly turned to look at them and said, "You two seem quite nervous. What's the matter?"
Qian Changle also grew suspicious and said, "Second brother, this is our family's ho. Although this room has always been a bit eerie and father forbade us from entering, you shouldn't be so nervous that you're trembling. Is it too cold for you?"
The room indeed felt cold, ill-matching the scorching weather outside, but Qian Wei Le was a grown man, surely he wasn't so afraid of the cold?
