Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 783: Only he dares to say this (Part One)

After the five old masters and Xu Cheng finished talking about national matters, they began to make small talk.

Old Master Ye scolded Xu Cheng, “I don’t know what you’ve been giving Little Xiu, this brat was actually thinking of going out to get revenge for you. He even scolded me for being useless, holding so much power in my hands but can’t help you get justice. If it weren’t for your Uncle Ye who held him down, he would be nagging beside my ears every day for this.”

Xu Cheng let out a bitter smile. “The play had to be perfect. I hid the truth for two reasons, first is so that I could face the Capital Society with my full force, and secondly so that I won’t be exposed looking like this or else Little Xue will see me. I don’t know how she would face me, and I can’t face her either. Everyone else is afraid of my appearance, and I can ignore everyone’s opinion except for her. I’m not ready and I can’t accept Little Xue’s fear when she sees my face. So I had to hide from everyone who knows her to completely hide away from her. Otherwise, she will definitely notice with her intelligence.”

Old Master Zhou sighed as he looked at Xu Cheng and asked, “What about Dr. Liao? Still no progress?”

Dr. Liao was the designated doctor within the Dragon Division and was also the doctor who would be in charge of Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue’s future medical conditions.

Xu Cheng shook his head. “He’s still trying to get a grasp of the genes in my body, not to mention understanding the pathology. This can’t be rushed, and he would need some time.”

Old Master Nie: “Then how do you feel yourself? Is there any physical discomfort?”

“Not yet, I feel no difference except for my appearance.” Xu Cheng shook his head again. “Let’s not talk about me and let’s get your bodies checked-up.”

The five of them couldn’t ask for more.

Xu Cheng’s examinations were actually very simple, and it was basically checking the major tissues and organs for any failures or other problems in their body.

After treatments with Xu Cheng’s medicine, their body organs seemed to function normally. Although they couldn’t compare with young people, their body age was still more than twenty years younger than others at the same age.

While Xu Cheng was examining Old Master Ye, Old Master Ye said to him, “You had a showdown with the Capital Society this time, and they will target your wife again if they can’t get you, so the country has already secretly deployed protection around her.”

Xu Cheng paused for a moment before he said, “I’ll protect her myself. Now, there’s no one in the Dragon Division who can face the Capital Society assassins. I’m not comfortable with anyone protecting her, so I’ll go and protect her myself.”

Old Master Ye: “How are you approaching her?”

Xu Cheng: “I still have my apprentice, and I’ll just have my apprentice be by her side. She must also understand the current situation, and to not make me worry, she would accept my apprentice as her bodyguard.”

With that said, he changed the subject. “Well, it seems like all of you are in good health. As long as you don’t drink and play too much, you still have more than twenty years to live.”

The five Old Masters laughed.
