Chapter 58

Two hours later.

Jeok Leegeon and Jeong Charyeon returned to the Sword Clan with Palbangchugoe.

The entire family gathered, and the household was in complete emergency mode.

Jeong I-chu was greatly surprised that the famous Palbangchugoe of Jianghu had come to examine his daughter himself.

Ahn-ssi, usually so composed, was both overjoyed and flustered.

"What on earth happened?"

"It's a long story. But you can trust him."

Ahn-ssi had been losing sleep every night worrying about her youngest daughter. She didn't know Palbangchugoe well, but she was overjoyed to hear that a renowned doctor had arrived.

"He's an amazing person."

Hwa Ryeon had heard of Palbangchugoe's reputation. At Hwa Ryeon's words, Ahn-ssi clasped her hands together, praying with all her heart that he would heal her daughter.

"I hope the diagnosis is good."

Seo Baek paced back and forth with Jeong I-chu.

Ahn-ssi attended to Jeok Leegeon.

"Thank you."

Ahn-ssi expressed her gratitude to Jeok Leegeon. She assumed that Charyeon wouldn't know a master of Jianghu like Palbangchugoe, so Jeok Leegeon must have arranged this.

"Your daughter put in a lot of effort. She even risked her life."

He was referring to crossing the River of Life and Death.

The whole family was shocked to hear that she had risked her life.

"He's exaggerating."

But Jeok Leegeon was serious.

"No. If you had given up there, I would have turned back as well. This is all thanks to you."

The family didn't know the details, but they could tell that Charyeon had put in a great effort.

"You did well."

Ahn-ssi stroked Charyeon's hair as if she was proud of her. Hwa Ryeon hugged Charyeon tightly.

"Good job, good job."

Charyeon was very grateful to Jeok Leegeon.

But if the diagnosis turned out to be bad, all of this would be in vain. Her mother might be even more hurt by the false hope.

Finally, after a long examination, it was over.

The door opened, and Palbangchugoe came out.

"How is she?"

"Did you find the cause?"

Charyeon and Jeong I-chu rushed over.

Palbangchugoe nodded. Ahn-ssi and Charyeon were surprised.

Until now, not a single doctor had been able to pinpoint the exact cause.

"That child was stung by a poison bee."

Charyeon and Ahn-ssi were greatly surprised at the mention of a poison bee. None of the doctors who had examined Suryeon had ever said anything like that.

Jeok Leegeon asked,

"Could that bee be a Blood Bee?"

Perhaps because the family was present, Jeok Leegeon was polite to Palbangchugoe.

"That's right."

"The poison bee that Bongmasin raises. He rarely shows himself in Jianghu... I don't know why she was stung by his bee."

"Can it be cured?"

"There are only two antidotes."

"What are they?"

Charyeon was filled with hope. There was an antidote!

Ahn-ssi, who was listening, clasped her hands together with a desperate heart.

"First, Bongmasin himself has the antidote. But that old monster Bongmasin hasn't shown himself in Jianghu for a long time."

"Then what's the second?"

"The antidote from the Medicine King Clan."

"The Medicine King Clan!"

The Medicine King Clan was a renowned medical family in Jianghu. But they, a small Sword Clan on the outskirts of Infinite, couldn't possibly have any connections with the Medicine King Clan.

Everyone was repeating the words "Medicine King Clan" when Jeok Leegeon suddenly stepped forward.

"Still, the second one seems a little easier."

Then Jeok Leegeon urged Charyeon.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"To get the medicine."

"What?"

"They must have come to this Martial Arts Tournament, right? If they didn't, let's go find the Medicine King Clan."

Jeok Leegeon's expression was serious. No, it didn't matter if he was serious or not.

"Yes, let's go. Let's go right now."

Then Palbangchugoe shook his head.

"It won't be easy. The antidote that can cure the Blood Bee's poison is their unique antidote called the Seven Divine Pills. The Seven Divine Pills can cure not only the Blood Bee's poison but also seven of the most potent poisons in Jianghu. It is truly a precious medicine. Among those seven poisons is the Tang Clan's poison. They are reluctant to release it because they fear the leakage of their unique manufacturing method. In fact, very few people even know that the Medicine King Clan has that antidote."

"Shall we bet again? Whether I can get it or not?"

Palbangchugoe answered without thinking.

"I'll bet on you getting it."

"You've gotten smarter."

Jeok Leegeon grinned.

Ahn-ssi pleaded in a trembling voice.

"Young Master Jeok, please take care of her."

Jeong I-chu was fidgeting, wondering if he should go himself. It was Ahn-ssi who stopped him.

"Since those kids started it, let's leave it to them until the end."

His wife was more accurate than anyone else in seeing people. Jeong I-chu nodded.

"Hehe, don't worry. These days, pretty kids have good personalities and longer lives."

"Don't say such nonsense."

"Ouch! Are you pinching me? That's cowardly!"

Jeok Leegeon approached Palbangchugoe, who was standing to one side.

"Senior Palbang, you can go back now. I'm sorry for everything."

Palbangchugoe chuckled.

"Yes, you're such a cool guy. It's fun to hang out with you."

Palbangchugoe's expression was extremely generous.

"Three years ago, when you were running around like a wild horse, you said that your dream was to create the most wonderful Jianghu in the world, right? I didn't believe it then. I never believed it. But..."

A faint smile appeared on Palbangchugoe's lips.

"Now... you seem to have matured a bit."

And he asked.

"Is that dream still the same?"

"Yes, it is."

"Show me. The wonderful Jianghu you talked about."

Jeok Leegeon gazed at Palbangchugoe seriously.

"Won't you regret those words?"

Jeok Leegeon's eyes said that he would have to risk his life.

"I won't."

"You have to call me Young Master?"

"Better than Master."

The two men looked at each other and laughed. This was not something decided in a day or two. It was the culmination of emotions that had matured over a long time of watching Jeok Leegeon.

"Wait. I'll get the medicine."
