Chapter 2353: Chapter 2353: Through Fire and Water
The Fat Man’s small eyes buried in the flesh lit up, his voice trembling with joy, "Really?"
Xuexue nodded and said, "Of course it’s true. I wrote the prescription myself, how could I not know?"
The Fat Man embraced the Thin Man in delight and shouted loudly, "Big brother, did you hear? Father and I are saved. Truly, there is a way out!"
News from the Capital said the affliction was incurable, which scared him to death.
The Thin Man, tall and slender, was lifted by the Fat Man, swaying like a bamboo pole about to break.
"Fatty Brother, put me down." The Thin Man held his head, speaking uncomfortably.
"Alright, hehe... I was too happy and forgot big brother gets dizzy easily."
After drinking the medicine, the old man’s eyes cleared, his whole being became lucid. Seeing several guards pinning him down, he was utterly bewildered, as if he had forgotten everything that had happened just now, angrily asking, "Who are you... why are you catching me?"
Saying this, he lifted his eyes and saw the fat and thin brothers not far away, immediately calling out for help, "Fatty, Thinny, someone is bullying your father, come and save me quickly."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers who had been happily playing around froze, turned their heads and, in disbelief, said, "Father, you recognize us?"
"Nonsense, I’m your old man, you’re my sons, how could I not recognize you?" The old man struggled continuously in the guards’ hands.
Without the Master’s orders, the guards did not dare to release him, continuing to hold his arms firmly.
The fat and thin men chuckled bitterly, since father got the affliction, he truly couldn’t recognize them.
The Thin Man: "Father, during these times, what did you do? Isn’t it clear in your heart?"
Angry, the old man couldn’t help but curse, "What did I do? Your old man is being bullied right now, you two little bastards, why aren’t you hurrying to save your old man?"
The Fat Man looked at Long Rui and Xuexue, pleading, "Prince, Princess Consort, my father is better now, can you let the guards release him?"
Long Rui waved his hand, and several guards immediately let him go, stepping back a few paces.
"Aiya, they almost strangled me." The old man looked at his own wrist, bruised red by the guards, disgruntled, "Sons, why did they catch me? You two too, seeing your old man bullied by others, you’re just playing around over there, your old man truly feels bitter, raising you in vain."
The Thin Man: "Father, have you forgotten, you fell ill before."
Upon hearing this, the old man got angry again, saying, "What illness does your old man have, I was poisoned, wasn’t I?"
The two brothers were overjoyed, it seems father’s ailment has indeed improved, even remembering being poisoned by someone. So, they narrated the events after he got the affliction to him.
The old man was very grateful to Xuexue after knowing she saved him.
The old man bowed to Xuexue and said heartily, "Miss, we are from the Heavenly Mountain Sect, if you have the chance to visit our sect, we father and sons will certainly give you a warm welcome."
The Fat Man grinned and said, "Father, you don’t know their identities yet, do you?"
The old man was bewildered, having just woken up, he really didn’t know what identities Long Rui and Xuexue had.
The Fat Man pointed to Long Rui and said, "He is the famous War Prince, and the stunning lady beside him is the Princess Consort of War Prince."
The old man was thrilled, unexpectedly after falling ill, he actually met the war god he’d dreamed of seeing. Yet this war god wore a fierce mask, quite intimidating.
The old man clasped his fists again, facing Long Rui and Xuexue, saying, "Prince, Princess Consort, you saved the lives of my sons and me, this kindness is greater than the sky, I’ll hold it in my heart, being eternally grateful to you both. In the future, whatever happens, my sons and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
