Langya Prince's Residence.
In the courtyard, two teenage boys of similar age were discussing the rumors about a divine physician in Apocalypse City.
One of them said, "Ling Chen, tomorrow we'll go invite the divine physician to the residence."
"Chu He, those are all street rumors. I heard no fewer than four versions today. They got more outrageous with every telling—bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bare bones, everything's been said."
The boy called Ling Chen was none other than Xiao Lingchen, the only son of the Langya King, Xiao Ruofeng.
The boy called Chu He was Xiao Chuhe, the sixth son of the reigning emperor, the Mingde Emperor—the Sixth Prince.
Xiao Chuhe had lived in the Langya Prince's Residence since childhood and had been personally raised by Xiao Ruofeng. Even his name had been personally chosen by the Langya King.
Although Gu Hui had instructed him to teach the other princes as well, Xiao Ruofeng valued Xiao Chuhe above all others.
Xiao Chuhe lived up to expectations. Clever and quick-witted, with exceptional comprehension, he had already reached the Unfettered Earth Realm at such a young age.
