Eps. 60 — Niu Clan Conflict
“I've been here two years, Young Master Jian, shouldn't I be asking you the same question?” Miou Lin chuckled.
Jian Chen coughed softly before telling him because he could be in the Niu clan, he did not tell him everything especially about him slaughtering the members of the White Goose shop, he said, Jian Chen explained that he helped Meily find the golden Orchid for her mother's health.
“Actually I am here also related to that, Meily's mother has now turned two years sickly and during that time also I took care of her.” Miou Lin did not continue her words but let out a long sigh, considering Meily's mother's condition made her become concerned.
“Sister Miou is a healer!?” .
A smile was re-engraved on Miou Lin's face followed by a sense of pride. “Young Master Jian, has Yue’er not explained this to you. Not that I am arrogant but in this city I am a famous healer, it is not excessive they call me as the number one healer here.”
Jian Chen coughed slowly followed by scratching his head, he did not expect Miou Lin to respond that way. Somehow Jian Chen felt that Miou Lin sounded disdainful to him.
Jian Chen did not know how hard Miou Lin felt when he was defeated by Jian Chen as the youngest alchemist.
Miou Lin used to think that he was a true genius in the alchemist field because he had reached a high level alchemist at the age of 28. When he found out that Jian Chen was a master level alchemist at 14 years old seriously hurt his pride, especially Jian Chen was able to make new concoction pills with extraordinary properties.
With her being a young healer, Miou Lin believed in this and no one would be able to have such a talent.
An alchemist and a healer did have some parts of the same science so it was no wonder that later an alchemist expert could become a healer.
Even so there was still a huge difference striking with pill making and curing someone. At least an alchemist could concoct medicine with his alchemist science.
Jian Chen was reminded of the Golden Orchid he had obtained. “Then what about the Golden Orchid we have obtained, won't it be able to cure his mother Meily?”
Jian Chen did not know Meily's mother's illness but Ziyun said earlier The golden orchid could cure Meily's mother's illness.
“Brother Jian, Golden Orchid can indeed help the health of Mother Meily but can not make her recover. The illness suffered by Mother Meily is not that simple.”.
Until now Miou Lin alone can not understand the disease Mother Meily because despite being given various drugs the disease never healed.
Even after time went on, her illness got worse and Miou Lin was afraid that this would end until her mother Meily breathed her last breath.
Jian Chen had guessed this from the beginning, if the Golden Orchid plant could indeed cure Mother Meily's illness then it had already healed since Miou Lin was her physician.
Jian Chen let out a long sigh, for some reason he came to mind about this Meily family even though in his last life he did not have the slightest connection with the girl.
Maybe because of his friendship with Meily some time makes him feel sorry for the condition of the girl.
When the two wanted to talk about this further suddenly there was someone passing through the room. Miou Lin stood up and immediately paid her respects.
“Good day Mr. Zuan.”.
The one who was greeted by Miou Lin was a 35-year-old, well-built and authoritative young man. When Miou Lin greeted instead of replying to him the young man snorted before continuing his steps.
“He is Niu Zuan, the older brother of the current Niu clan chairman. Ever since I took care of Madam Yuan she already had a dislike look at me. It feels like he's not happy that I intend to cure Missa Yuan here. If it wasn't the direct order of Clan Leader Niu maybe I wouldn't have paid her respects.”
Madam Yuan in question was the name of her mother Meily, Niu Yuan.
Jian Chen could see Miou Lin's dislike of that Niu Zuan. “Then why doesn't Brother Miou refuse this job?”
“This is also the duty of the Miou clan head, I cannot refute it or reject it.”
Jian Chen nodded, understanding Miou Lin's current state. Indeed after all as one of the Elders of the Miou clan, Miou Lin had to be obliged to obey the orders of the Miou clan Chief.
Anyway if later Miou Lin can cure her mother Meily then the relationship of the Niu clan and Miou clan will improve.
“By the way about Niu Zuan, there are actually some problems that occur in this Niu clan and it is related to the future continuity of the Niu clan.”.
“Hm? Is there a big problem, I see the Niu clan is fine without conflict.”
“Actually this is confidential and even the people of the Niu clan themselves do not know too much. There is news that the government of the Niu clan is currently being split into two sides.”.
“Two sides?”
Miou Lin smiled faintly before explaining the situation, he found out this was accidentally due to frequent going to the Niu clan. Miou Lin thought there was no harm in telling this to Jian Chen.
The essence of what Miou Lin explained was that the Niu clan was divided into two camps because one of the camps did not like the government led by the current clan head. Niu Zuan was the leader of the camp that opposed the rule of his father Meily.
“There were ten Elders in the Niu clan and 4 of them sided with Niu Zuan to replace the current leader of the Niu clan. Even so the other 6 Elders still sided with the leader of the Niu clan and they did not want Meily's father to be replaced.”
According to Miou Lin the reason Niu Zhan opposed the government of the Niu clan because he did not accept when his brother who actually became the leader instead of himself as an older brother.
“This matter seems to be quite complicated but we also have no reason to interfere considering this is a personal matter of the clan.” Jian Chen said.
Miou Lin nodded in agreement with Jian Chen's opinion. “True Young Master Jian but if I choose from those two camps then I will support the current Chairman of the Niu clan.”
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, he chose not to argue anything. “Sister Miou didn't you say there was something to tell me about the Association.”
“Ah, I almost forgot, maap Brother Jian, I just want to report the current development of the association to you.”
The association of the Miou clan had grown tremendously due to the pills Jian Chen had discovered earlier. The advantages in the alchemist field made the Miou clan gain manifold advantages.
As a result, the income of the Miou clan increased dramatically, if originally the Miou clan earned a hundred million gold coins a month then now they were earning double that income and that was due to the pills Jian Chen had made.
The Miou clan had even opened a branch outside the Lightning Dragon province which was previously only 2 provinces. Since there was a new pill concoction, the Miou clan had opened 2 more branches in other provinces and if this continued then it could be that the Miou clan association could open branches to 12 provinces as a whole.
