Jean turned back to the Blue Wind Profound Palace and slept, right now, it was morning, his current power is "Love".

He just called Lan Xueruo to talk about something, and she immediately came here.

Lan Xueruo: Junior Brother Jean, what did you call me here for?

Jean: Do you want some tea first?

Lan Xueruo: Thank you.

Jean smiled and prepared some green tea for her, both of them started to drink a bit, peacefully, before Jean laid the cup of tea in the table between them and took a deep breath.

Jean: I got 2 invitations from the Crown Prince and the Third Prince yesterday.

A complicated expression flashed across Lan Xueruo's face and spoke.

Lan Xueruo: So you finally got them… What is your decision?

Jean: First of all I want to hear about those people from the princess herself.

Lan Xueruo's eyes widened in shock as her body flinched.

Lan Xueruo: You… you knew? Did Instructor Qin tell you about it? I… I really didn't deliberately hide it from you. I only… only…

Jean: Shhh, let me talk first. I know you didn't had any bad intention for exploiting me, and no, Instructor Qin didn't tell me anything.

Lan Xueruo: Huh? ...And how did you found out…?

Jean: Let's say that every day I got something special, and yesterday it was that "Something" to tell me everything about you. So I already know about your feelings for me.

"Knowledge" not only permits him to see the profile of other people, but even a summary about their life, talents, weak points, everything that can be shown. He knows that her father is ill with a unique illness, he knows about how she felt when she first saw him, everything…

Lan Xueruo: ...Huh…?

Jean stood up and walked towards her, patting her head.

Jean: I know you wanted me to participate at the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament-

Lan Xueruo: I… I promise to not force you to join… I want to apologize for hiding you this...

Jean: Nonono, I want to join there. But about accepting your apologies….

Lan Xueruo: Please… accept them…

She started to shed some tears, Jean grinned and used the camera feature of his watch, making a photo about her face, the sound that the photo caused flinched Lan Xueruo, who stopped crying and looked at Jean cluelessly.

Jean: Hehe, this will be an unforgettable moment.

Then he showed her the picture he just took, letting her see her childish self that was crying for an apology, the tears from her face completely disappeared and looked completely red.

Lan Xueruo: E-Erase it!

Jean: No, this will be one of my pearls in my pocket. 'Together with Xiao Yulong's videos…'

Lan Xueruo's previous sad expression disappeared and it was replaced with a childish angry expression, she tackled Jean down and looked at his smiling face for a moment, before she started to laugh, soon, Jean laughed too.

They stood like that for a few minutes before Jean stopped and a strange glint was shown on his eyes, and…

*Kiss*

He kissed Lan Xueruo on the mouth, shocking her, however, she didn't struggled and let out her tongue, as if her mind got blank. This was the first time in this 4th life that Jean kissed someone in the mouth, but as Jean wanted to go a bit further, Lan Xueruo realized what she was doing, and pushed herself up while blushing and glaring at Jean.

Lan Xueruo: Y-You… You used this moment to tease me…

Jean: Hahahah, you were the one who stood over me even while kissing.

Lan Xueruo pouted, before she looked a bit away in embarrassment. Jean got up and dusted off his clothes.

Jean: Alright, bring me to your father, remember that I am a genius doctor, I can absolutely help him, unless he is dead.

Lan Xueruo: ...Mn.

Soon, they reached the imperial palace. everything around him was extremely luxurious, golden colored tiles glittered under the sunshine in every direction and directly dazzled Jean's eyes.

The imperial palace was huge. As Lan Xueruo walked, she also introduced the important structures of the imperial palace to Jean. Unintentionally, they had already arrived in front of a grand and imposing palace.

Lan Xueruo: Here's my father's chambers.

Lan Xueruo had a slightly nervous expression. It was as if she was a normal girl bringing her sweetheart to her parents, and was nervous that she might not gain her parents' approval. But Jean was very calm.

Jean: Mn, let's go in.

With Lan Xueruo at the front, she brought Jean towards the emperor's chambers. As soon as they stepped through the door, they saw an elderly man in a gray robe, who had a beard that hung down to his c.h.e.s.t, walk toward them.

Although this elderly man was clearly very old, his hair and beard were pitch black; it was evident that he was an expert in maintaining good health. Although far away from him, Jean was able to faintly smell the scent of medicine.

Behind the elderly man followed two attendants; although they were only attendants, within the deepest parts of their eyes, their arrogance was clearly visible, even though they were in the imperial palace.

Lan Xueruo: Master Gu, you came. How is my father's condition?

Master Gu: So it was your highness the princess. This morning, I received the emperor's summons so I came to take a look.

Last night, the night air was cold and caused the emperor to suffer a little wind chill; it already isn't an issue. As for the matter of the emperor's life veins… Sigh, please forgive this old one for his incompetence, I still haven't found a way to deal with it.

Lan Xueruo: Master Gu, please don't speak in that way, my father's life veins were already damaged beyond repair, and there is no cure in this world. If my father wasn't under Master Gu's care these years, I fear…

In short, Master Gu must not blame himself. Cang Yue once again thanks Master Gu for this kindness.

Master Gu: When Princess Cang Yue says it in that way, it really is overpraising this old one. Your highness, please be at ease, this old one will definitely do his best to ensure the emperor's health…

The emperor is about to retire to bed now, so if your highness wishes to see the emperor, then quickly enter, this old one shall take his leave.

Lan Xueruo: Take care, Master Gu.

Then the elderly man left with his attendants, and when they were far enough, Lan Xueruo turned around and guided Jean inside, who had a bad feeling for the man who came out.

Lan Xueruo: Since three years ago when Father suddenly fell ill, he began to spend large portion of his time within his chambers and seldom went out. Because Father's health was simply too poor, he was unable to bear the slightest bit of wind chill.

Even if he were to catch some minor illness, it would still be possible for it to be a danger to his life.

With the condition that Father was in, he was no longer capable of managing the affairs of the nation, but my eldest imperial brother and third imperial brother began to act imprudently and had to lead wolves into the household.

Afterwards, not only were they disrespectful to Father, they also occasionally tried to coerce Father, which made it impossible for Father to pass on the throne to either of them; he had no other choice but to use his life to stall day by day…

Jean: Don't worry, I am sure I can heal him, and if I can't today, then within a month, he will be healed, the only problem that could happen is that I am not here.

Lan Xueruo: ...I believe you.

She replied softly and smiled. When they reached the bed, they saw the ill man… The person on the bed looked withered with a wax yellowed complexion, grizzled white hair, and lifeless expression. He looked like an eighty year old elder past his prime.

Lan Xueruo: Father! Just a moment ago, in front of the chamber's doors, we bumped into Master Gu. He said you caught another cold last night… How do you feel now? Is it a little better?

The emperor, Cang Wanhe, looked towards lan Xueruo affectionately, it seems that he could feel happiness only from being the parent for such a caring daughter.

Cang Wanhe: It isn't an issue anymore. We(AN: Royal "I") were afraid that you would be overly worried again, so We didn't tell you. Yue'er, the person you brought with you, shouldn't you introduce him?

Jean walked forward and cupped his hands.

Jean: Blue Wind Profound Palace Inner Palace disciple Dennell Jean pays his respects to Your Majesty.

Cang Wanhe: Oh? You're Dennell Jean? Although We have resided in this chamber for a long time, We too, have heard that a youngster with an incomparably shocking talent had emerged from the Blue Wind Profound Palace.

He defeated an Inner Palace disciple 8 levels above him at such a young age, even with a single strike. Simply astonishing.

Jean: Your Majesty is flattering me, actually, I didn't came here simply to introduce myself, but for cure your illness.

Cang Wanhe's face revealed interest.

Cang Wanhe: Oh? You're also versed in the medical arts?

Jean: Yes, I will guarantee that unless I have some problems, you will be cured within a month.

Cang Wanhe: It's rare for someone to have such compassion, and since you are also the person Yue'er brought over, We naturally do not have any reason to refuse.

Only, We have to tell you first, that according to Master Gu, what We have isn't an illness, but rather permanent damage to our life veins due to acc.u.mulated labor; therefore, there is no need to force yourself if you don't know what to do.

Jean: Your Majesty, I hope you can give me freedom of speech.

Cang Wanhe: You are free to do so.

Cang Wanhe's eyes turned curious when he saw Jean's face turning serious.

Jean: In my life, I've heard some big things… But this, this is one of the biggest bullshit I've ever heard.
