He took out the platinum token and on it was the name ‘Wenren’.
“My goodness! Are you the Wenren Family’s honourable guest?”
The guards were so frightened they looked like they had just seen a ghost.
“Probably not an honourable guest, but Wenren Jinghao gave this to me personally. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask him.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“Huh!” The guards gasped sharply. “No! No! No! How could we not believe you? Please… come in! Please come in!”
“I thought you said that I’m tired of living?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“We were ignorant! We spoke without thinking! We are stupid! Please don’t hold it against us. Please sir, forgive us!”
The guards trembled.
The Wenren family were the second most powerful family in Silver Plume City after the Dong Family. Even the family members of Wenren Family had to show their utmost repect to this honourable guest. With that being said, the two guards of Silver Plume City did not even have the right to carry Chen Xiaobei’s shoes.
Offending Chen Xiaobei would be a death sentence to them.
“I’m glad that the two of you know that you are at fault! I might come in and out of the inner city quite frequently in the future. I hope this won’t happen again! Understood?”
Chen Xiaobei could not be bothered to get involved with these n.o.bodies.
“Understood! Understood!” The guards nodded fast, almost too eagerly. They would never dare make the same mistake again.
It was upon entering the inner city that Chen Xiaobei really saw what an actual n.o.ble area was like!
From the streets to the buildings, all the facilities in here shone in a much more lavish and flamboyant light than the outer city!
Even the people walking on the street had a different air about them; a natural opulence. Even their garments were beautiful and plus.h.!.+
The people of the most prosperous dynasty in China also failed in comparison to the citizens living in this superior environment with superior resources and a worry-free life.
The Silver Plume’s laws were very stringent. Those who entered the inner city without authorization would be sentenced to death, no questions asked.
Once inside the city, the person was considered approved by the first-cla.s.s n.o.bles. As things worked in that manner, no one shot Chen Xiaobei any strange looks as he walked his way down the street even though he was an outsider.
There were only the occasional curious glance given by random souls in an attempt to appraise Chen Xiaobei’s ident.i.ty.
Being able to set foot into the inner city at such a young age! That was unprecedented in the history of Silver Plume City!
Having asked for directions from a pa.s.ser-by, Chen Xiaobei arrived at the Wenren’s Mansion.
Wenren Jinghao was an imperial commissioner who had returned from the Temple specifically to investigate the incident in Atlantis. This was undoubtedly the best method to keep track of the progress of the investigation.
Chen Xiaobei walked up to the door and knocked. A security guard walked out and asked politely, “May I know who you’re looking for and what is the purpose fo your visit?”
The security guard was also a Silver Plume citizen.
It seemed that there were castes even among the Silver Plume n.o.bles. It was customary that the lower-ranking Silver Plume citizen had to serve the higher-ranking Silver Plume Citizens!
But this security guard was much more well behaved than the other two at the gate, and did not take on immediately humiliating Chen Xiaobei.
This spoke of the Wenren family’s ethical behaviour – they prohibited their employees from pulling ranks!
Chen Xiaobei had always preferred coaxing but not coercion. If the other person’s att.i.tude was right, and was fair, then Chen Xiaobei would never make things difficult for them in reciprocation.
“My name is Chen Zhufeng. Mr. Wenren Jinghao has sent for me to give Ms. Wenren a treat.”
Chen Xiaobei took out the platinum token and said, “This is the pa.s.s. You can check it.”
“Mr. Chen! Are you the Mr. Chen?” The security guard asked, astonished.
“Why? Do I know you?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I know who you are! Lady Wen and Ms. Qing’er have been talking about you lately!” the security guard said. “There’s no need check it. Please… please come in!”
“Alright, you lead the way sir.”
Chen Xiaobei nodded. His mind drifted away as he wondered what that drop-dead gorgeous Ms. Wenren had to say about him.
The security guard led him into the mansion.
It was noon and the sun was beating down brightly. Wenren Muyue and Wenren Qing’er were in the garden chatting away.
“Lady Wenren! Look who’s here!” The security guard shouted from afar.
Wenren Muyue turned around, seeing Chen Xiaobei and then smiled. “Mr. Chen! Why are you here?”
“Wow! My idol Mr. Chen is here! Welcome! Welcome!”
Qing’er was a spirited young girl who held nothing back and frequently spoke her mind.
“Huh?” Chen Xiaobei looked surprised. He had only had that one encounter with this young girl, and her compliment surprised him so much that he knew not how to respond.
“Qing’er! Behave yourself!” Wenren Muyue reprimanded. “I told her about what happened at the paediatric hospital. Since then, she has made you her idol!”
“Oh, no wonder. I was wondering when in the world did I acquire a random fangirl!” Chen Xiaobei chuckled amusingly.
“Don’t just stand there! Let’s have a chat in the living room! I want to entertain my idol properly!” Qing’er said excitedly.
The three of them made their way to the living room.
Wenren Muyue sat Chen Xiaobei down while Qing’er busied herself preparing some fruits and tea. She was the one who was especially enthusiastic.
“Is there any special reason for your sudden visit?”
Wenren Muyue sat with her ankles crossed and her legs leaning to one side, her slender waist and back was straight and upright, and her voice gentle but melodious – the posture of a poised lady.
“Well, I may leave Silver Plume for a while and I was worried that your illness might suddenly manifest, so I came here today to check up on you!”
Chen Xiaobei’s gaze fell on Wuren Muyue’s sweet, delicate face.
This woman was the carbon copy of a faerie princesses in fairytale movies, so beautiful she was flawless.
Unfortunately, her complexion was poor. The illness that had ravaged her body had caused it to deteriorate, accelerating its expiry to a rapid countdown of just six months!
Wenren Muyue was left with only six, short months!
It was confirmed. The Netherspirit Battlescouter’s Book of Life and Death recorderd that Wenren Muyue only had six months left to live!
She would need a miracle to recover from that!
Normal doctors or even the expert Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors of the Temple did not have the capacity or power to do it.
As there was nothing more to lose, there was nothing wrong for Chen Xiaobei to try.
Chen Xiaobei had already made the first diagnosis: Wenren Muyue was suffering from some sort of severe pathogenic virus that caused her body to have acute attacks of extreme cold.
Chen Xiaobei’s purpose for coming today was to find out about the investigation on Atlanta, but also to treat Wenren Muyue’s illness. Only then would he feel at peace enough to leave Silver Plume Planet in his search for the Black Dessert.
If anything bad did happen to Atlantis or Wenren Muyue, Chen Xiaobei would then be not able to take it well!
“Mr. Chen, why are you staring at me for so long this time?”
Wenren Muyue’s cheeks turned pink, feeling a little shy as she was being scanned from head to toe by Chen Xiaobei.
