"Other than Aunt Bi Ji, who else in Star Dou Forest could heal Aunt Jiang? Uncle Di Tian, do you know anyone?"
Rui'er looked at Di Tian in confusion and curiosity. When she saw him shake his head in denial, she turned her gaze back to Fang Le.
Everyone else's gazes also converged on him, all wanting to know who this supposedly powerful expert capable of treating Mother Jiang was.
"I never said it was Bi Ji. Besides, Uncle Long and Rui'er, you both know the expert I'm talking about.
After being ill for so long, one became a doctor oneself. When it came to injuries to one's origin, that person should understand them better than anyone.
And even if that weren't the case, as long as that person acted, Aunt Jiang's injuries would be child's play."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Fang Le spoke with an inscrutable expression.
As for why he had not said the name outright, some matters were secrets to Star Dou Forest, and it would not be appropriate for him to casually reveal them to outsiders.
Although Mother Jiang and Jiang Nannan were utterly confused, Rui'er and Di Tian figured out who Fang Le meant in no time.
After all, who in Star Dou Forest understood origin injuries best, and who had absolute confidence in healing Mother Jiang? It was really not hard to guess!
"Star Dou Forest, origin injuries, able to casually heal Aunt Jiang... A-Le, you can't mean..."
Rui'er repeated the conditions Fang Le had mentioned, while the state of the person beneath Lake of Life slowly surfaced in her little mind.
As she compared them one by one, every condition perfectly matched the silver figure in her memories.
When she looked again at the person speaking so eloquently before her, his furry face was filled with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
She did not even know what to say...
Was this person's nerve not a little too big?
Di Tian, driving the horses at the front, reacted even more fiercely. His hand suddenly tightened around the reins.
"No! Absolutely not!! My lord... that person absolutely cannot act!!!"
The injuries on that female human had already made death as inevitable as a law of nature.
To reverse them, divine power would have to be used. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible.
Not to mention that my lord's severe injuries had yet to heal, and all divine power was needed to suppress the damage caused by Asura Judgment.
And with the God Realm hanging above them, if the use of divine power drew the attention of the gods, the consequences would certainly be unimaginable.
What would happen to my lord then? What about the dragon clan? What about the Soul Beasts?!!
What was more, it was all to save a... a mere human, and a damn soul master who had once slaughtered Soul Beasts?!
This... could not be allowed!! Absolutely not!!
"Calm down, Uncle Long. This is only one of many treatment options, and it's not as though I'm asking that person to act for nothing. There'll be compensation."
Seeing Di Tian getting worked up, Fang Le hurriedly reassured him.
After all, if Old Di got triggered, they would be in deep trouble.
Most people who could not solve a problem would solve the person who raised it.
Old Di was exactly the opposite. He would not deal with Fang Le, the one who raised the problem, but he really might just physically eliminate the problem itself.
Fang Le did not doubt his strength or methods in the slightest.
They might have eaten at the same table before, and Di Tian might have seen that Jiang Nannan had a fairly good relationship with Fang Le.
But if they had encountered each other in Star Dou Forest without Fang Le being present, Di Tian would have long since casually swiped a claw and sent the mother and daughter on their way.
"I don't know how you came to know of 'that person,' but no matter how much information you possess, I can tell you clearly that person absolutely cannot act lightly."
After hearing Fang Le's words, Di Tian calmed down considerably. Although he hesitated for a moment, he still explained as though he had made up his mind.
"Cannot act lightly means there's still a chance that person can act. Uncle Long, won't you hear about my compensation first? It's very tempting."
Although there were other options, this first one was different. It was not only Fang Le's fallback plan, but also a guarantee for the other plans he intended to carry out in the future.
That made Di Tian, the one who could connect him with the Silver Dragon King, particularly important.
After all, without Di Tian's introduction, whether Fang Le could even meet the Silver Dragon King at this stage was uncertain, let alone discuss a deal or cooperation.
Thus, instead of avoiding this sensitive subject, Fang Le maintained his mysterious demeanor and continued tempting him.
"What compensation? What use could any of that be to that person... Uh, tell me about it first."
Di Tian had initially dismissed this so-called compensation, but seeing Fang Le's mysterious expression and recalling all the strange things that had happened around him, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips and asked instead.
"Hehehe! That's exactly what I was waiting for."
Fang Le noticed every change in Di Tian's attitude.
There was a ninety percent chance this would work.
Fang Le was delighted, but Di Tian suddenly had a bad feeling.
Why did he feel like his future self was going to have a miserable life?
Still, he only thought it to himself. Di Tian did not press him further and simply watched Fang Le quietly, waiting to see what he could possibly say.
Just how tempting could this compensation be?
Rui'er and the other three, who also felt that some juicy gossip was coming, silently perked up their ears.
"Then I won't waste words. Uncle Long, you know I'm somewhat special. I may be poor right now, but I know quite a few things.
Knowledge is power, and knowledge is priceless. So this compensation is the knowledge in my head.
Do you want to know about the calculations the God Kings in the heavens have made regarding the fortune of Soul Beasts? Or the burial ground of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings? Or perhaps the events of Dragon God's Domain in the past, and the fate of Soul Beasts over the next ten thousand years?
It isn't much, but by coincidence, I know a tiny little bit about all of it. I think it would be quite useful to both that person and the Soul Beast race.
So? Uncle Long, do you think this compensation is enough?"
Without giving Rui'er a chance to interrupt the earlier nonsense, Fang Le hurled out a string of information.
What followed was silence. One stretch of silence after another.
Other than the birds chirping around them, not a single person—or beast—spoke.
The good news: they had gotten some gossip.
The bad news: this gossip was far too lofty, and they could not really understand it.
Jiang Nannan and her mother only felt that they had heard something incredible.
But exactly how incredible was it?
Please forgive their ignorance as mere mortals. Their minds were somewhat of a mess right now.
God Kings, Dragon Kings, the next ten thousand years—such things were still far too distant for them.
Even Rui'er and Di Tian, who had stronger powers of comprehension, were somewhat frozen in thought.
"God Kings? And the fortune of Soul Beasts... this seems to have something to do with me."
"God Kings plotting against the fortune of Soul Beasts?! The burial ground of Uncle Ice and Aunt Fire?! Dragon God's Domain's past, the next ten thousand years for Soul Beasts?? This..."
"Don't get so excited. The future I mentioned is merely the future in which I do not exist.
"But don't worry, I run an honest business. The accuracy of the details may be a little off, but the overall content is highly credible.
"If that still isn't enough, I also have some little secrets that only the Dragon God knew."
