The Rebirth of the Legendary King
It's Like Turning the Dead Ones
It's been almost a year.
Under a tree not far from the courtyard, two women were chatting to each other. One wears a blue dress and the other wears a white dress. As they were engrossed in chatting, suddenly rotten fruits fell from the tree.
The two women raised their heads and saw a young man lying on a tree branch. The young man was wearing trousers and a jacket, but his jacket was not shredded.
With a thick book covering his face, no one could clearly see who the young man was.
The woman's expression changed, "Who are you? How did you get to the mountain? Did you really eavesdrop on our conversation ...."
Before the woman finished her sentence, the woman beside her who was wearing a blue dress interrupted her, "That was the teacher's guest."
Then he spoke to the young man on the tree branch, "Young Master Chen .. This is not a good act, right?"
That woman was Mr. Shangxuan's only student since a year ago. However, he was always busy dealing with the matters of the Shangxuan Family and rarely went up the mountain. He had only met Ling a few times. Even when they met, it was just passing by.
Since there was someone else above them, they thought he was eavesdropping. If they don't talk about something important, they won't be fighting about it. However, they were talking about their family matters.
"I don't blame you for disturbing my sleep" Ling finally spoke in a lazy voice.
"You ...," the woman in the white dress was stopped by the woman beside her.
"Alright, Chen Yuai, let's find somewhere else" the woman said. After all, Ling was his teacher's guest and had stayed here for a year. He was a little worried about her.
He pulled a woman in a white dress named Chen Yuai.
"Sister Shi, who is that young man?" chen Yuai asked felt a little astonished.
Shi Jiu shook his head and replied, "I don't know. I only know his surname is Chen. I met him a few times and I never heard the teacher mention him. But he is still a teacher's guest. Don't you fucking touch her."
Hearing Shi Jiu's reply, Chen Yuai immediately felt relieved, "Come, we'll find a teacher. I don't know how much he's heard."
Before leaving, he glanced towards the tree with a doubtful look. Though, the branch of the tree where Ling was lying was too small. How could he remain lying there leisurely? Is he that light so he doesn't fall?
However, he did not have much time to think about it. Right now, they had already arrived at Master Shangxuan's residence.
Ling was still lying on top of the tree.
The monkey that was on top of his head was observing him for a long time. Eventually the monkey had a chance to steal the book from Ling's face.
However, when he got close, his body was captured.
Ling lifted the book on his face and sat down casually. He put the monkey in front of him and smiled, "What's wrong? You trying to steal my book?"
The monkey continued to squeak, but he could not speak. If he could talk, Ling would definitely be scolded all out by him.
However, he could not and could only stare at Ling.
From the courtyard, Mr. Shangxuan called Ling. Ling patted the monkey's head with the book, "Don't pretend to be dead. I'm almost done and I don't have to experiment anymore."
He let go of the monkey and then came down from the tree and walked into the yard. Chen Yuai and Shi Jiu were in the courtyard as well.
"What's? Mr Shangxuan, you want him to go down the mountain with us?" chen Yuai asked widened his eyes.
However, Master Shangxuan did not answer his question and looked at Ling, "It has been almost a year?"
Ling nodded, "Yes, ten more days."
"Well, you can go down the mountain. Just tell me if you want to leave this island, ", said Mr. Shangxuan.
"Young Master Chen had never gone down the mountain before. Help me drive him," said Mr. Shangxuan looking at Chen Yuai and Shi Jiu.
Ling still had to finish his task of reading three more books. Before leaving, he brought the three books and some clothes.
The three of them went down the mountain.

A group of guards were already waiting for Chen Yuai and Shi Jiu at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the two of them had already descended, the group of guards immediately advanced. However, their expressions did not look good. Just as they wanted to say something to Chen Yuai, he stopped her.
Chen Yuai glanced at Ling with a wary expression. He walked a few steps before letting the guards speak.
In the distance, Ling just leaned against a tree and lowered her head. His eyes looked rather serious. No wonder Mr. Shangxuan asked him to follow them.
After hearing the guards' words, Chen Yuai's expression became even more grim, as did Shi Jiu.
"Let's go" said Chen Yuai.
The guard didn't know Ling. So, he told Ling to sit in the back car.
Ling looked out the window and clenched his hand. His eyes look a little sharp. Ten days. Ten more days he can come back.
Right now, the guard who was in the same car as Ling, looked at him with a probing gaze. He asked Ling why he could come with their Young Miss. He also asked if they were friends.
Hearing his question, Ling only smiled slightly, "We are not friends. I just went for a walk. Who're you?"
"The Shi family," the guard replied.
"Shi?" Ling had never heard of this surname abroad. This Shi Jiu did not seem to be brothers with Chen Yuai either.
"Do you know the Cheng Family? We are very familiar with them. Our Young Miss is Master Shangxuan's student. How many people can come to this island? It can still be counted. The owner of this island is the Xiao Family, have heard of them, right? They even sent someone to ask our Young Miss for help to make a potion for them. Miss Cheng Rui is also very strong. His mother is from the Cheng Family abroad, but you may not know who the Cheng Family is" the guard replied. He thought Ling had never heard of them. So, he didn't continue.
Ling propped up his chin, "Indeed, very strong."
"That's right!" answer the guard. They were very fond of Shi Jiu as a descendant of the Shi Family. Seeing Ling's attitude like this, they felt very satisfied. Their attitude instantly changed for the better on Ling.
The car continued to drive all the way to the Shi Family residence.
Only then did Ling realize that he had arrived at the Xiao Family's hiding place. He looked for a moment and got out of the car.
At the entrance of the Shi Family, Madam Shi and the others were already waiting to greet Shi Jiu. Based on their conversation Ling had heard, he knew that Shi Jiu had not been home for a month. He must have respected his teacher.
"This young man ...," after chatting for a while, Madam Shi had only noticed Ling who was behind Shi Jiu. It cringes.
"It was the teacher who told me to bring Young Master Chen. The island has not been very peaceful for the past two days. He will leave after ten days," Shi Jiu replied.
Hearing her daughter's explanation, Madam Shi did not pay much attention to Ling anymore. After all, he didn't even have a guard who could protect him.
Madam Shi said, "I've already told someone to arrange a room for you. Don't hang around these two days ...."
Just as they were walking, not far from the main hall, they heard the sound of a very bitter cry, "Yes, this is my fault because I am useless! Now, the heartless people from that family still want to lock you up. Son, open your eyes and look at those heartless people! I'll take you to beg Doctor Zhuo. In fact, if I had to risk my life, I'd try to get him to see you."
Chen Yuai and the others were instantly grim.
Madam Shi also sighed, "Sister-in-law, who do you think Doctor Zhuo is? How can we meet him at will?"
Ling's expression changed. He patted Chen Yuai on the shoulder, "Doctor Zhuo?"
Chen Yuai turned his head towards Ling while thinking if Master Shangxuan ordered him to guard Ling. So, he was still willing to reply, "Doctor Zhuo suddenly appeared this year. He traveled all over the country and treated many strange and rare diseases. His medical skills were likened to being able to bring the dead to life. The silver needle was terrifying. A few days ago, someone from the Xiao Family was struck by a strange illness. Since they were so rich, they could invite Physician Zhuo over. I heard that not only is his medical expertise extremely outstanding, but Doctor Zhuo can also make and purify high-level potions. He is a god."
Chen Yuai sighed after saying that.
