Small courtyard.
In the wing room.
"Master Xavier!"
Alfred was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and even his voice was trembling.
"Do you... have any way to save his Highness?"
"Difficult!"
Looking at Prince Charles who was sitting cross-legged opposite him with his eyes closed and his whole body surrounded by a layer of fire, Divine Doctor Xavier shook his head, "I can only temporarily suppress the cold poison, but it cannot be eradicated at all, and you also know that his cold poison is deeply rooted. The poison has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow and become one with him. Every time it is suppressed, it will inevitably cause a rebound. Now I... am no longer able to do what I want."
There was a pause.
He sighed.
"This time, I can still suppress it with all my strength, but next time it breaks out... ugh!"
"Your Highness!"
Alfred naturally understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help crying.
"It's pitiful that the Empress Consort only has one son. If something goes wrong with your Highness, I will never be able to atone for it!"
"Alfred."
At this moment, a weak voice came over.
"You don't have to be sad. I know my situation well. If you and Master Xavier hadn't been running for me all these years, how could I have survived to this day? Even if my late mother could know what you’ve done, she wouldn't blame you."
But it was the Prince Charles who woke up faintly.
"Your Highness..."
Alfred couldn't bear to look at him anymore.
"Speak of it."
After barely escaping his life, Prince Charles seemed to have looked away from life and death and said with some emotion, "I did meet a very interesting person today. What a coincidence, Master Xavier also knows him..."
…
Outside the room.
"Ah, Brava..."
Little Fool looked happy, and was about to say hello, but suddenly thought of Brava’s attitude towards Acker a month ago, her face suddenly drooped, and she turned her head away angrily.
"Acker."
Brava's voice was as cold as ever.
"I heard about you."
"Yes, you are quite well informed."
"What are you doing here?"
"Haha, this is not Miss Willow’s business, right?"
Brava frowned.
She was determined.
Acker appeared here so coincidentally, he must have taken refuge with Prince Charles!
"I'll give you a piece of advice."
Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of condescension in it.
"The most important thing in life is to keep one's duty and not to go beyond the rules. Your previous troubles were precisely because you were too showy. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, even if you are lucky enough to escape this time, you will not be able to escape next time."
"Acting!"
Acker laughed.
"It's not your turn to dictate how I behave!"
"That's it. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
Finished.
Then she went to knock on the door.
"Wait!"
The people at the front were unhappy again.
They didn't know Acker, let alone Brava, so how could they let them pass freely?
"Who are you? Are you here to see Divine Doctor Xavier too?"
"My father, City Lord James Willow."
Brava chuckled lightly, "I came here to meet the Prince Charles. He and I are friends."
While talking, she glanced at Acker lightly.
The difference between friends and subordinates could not be more obvious.
The City Lord's daughter?
Friend?
Several people's hearts skipped a beat.
The former identity was easy to say, but the latter one... was a bit scary.
Although Prince Charles was not well-known in the royal capital and was not taken seriously, he was of royal bloodline after all. How can these little stewards reach such a high level?
"Sorry, sorry!"
"I was the one who was rude earlier, I beg your pardon, Miss Willow!"
Several people were arrogant at first and respectful at the end, and their attitudes changed drastically.
"I hope Miss Willow can put in a nice word for us if you go in."
"Yes, we have been waiting here for so long and haven't even seen Divine Doctor Xavier."
Brava had an elegant temperament, good conversation, and behavior, and was even more beautiful. They naturally did not doubt what she said. Such a charming woman was rare even in the Royal Capital. It was not surprising that she could make friends with Prince Charles.
"It doesn't matter."
Brava glanced at Acker lightly.
"When I see the Prince Charles later, I will ask him for you."
"Thank you, Miss Willow!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
"Young Master."
Little Fool had a look of injustice on her face.
"We obviously know that grandpa, why don't they believe us?"
"Hehe."
Acker laughed.
"Dogs just look down on people!"
"How dare you scold us!"
"Boy, I think you want to die!"
"People from small places don't have much knowledge, but they are quite courageous!"
"..."
Several people looked unhappy.
"Joke!"
Acker sneered, of course, he would not be frightened by them.
"If you say I can't come in, I can't come in? Today, I insist on going in! Let's go, Little Fool!"
While talking, he held Little Fool's hand and walked forward slowly.
"Alas!"
Cachi sighed.
"Little brother, why don't you listen to my advice?"
These people relied on their origins in the Royal Capital and were used to being bossy in front of the wandering cultivators, and they really dared to take action.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the courtyard.
"Little girl, why are you here? Come on, come in, let me see!"
It’s Divine Doctor!
Several people subconsciously turned their attention to Brava.
Could it be...
She was also familiar with Doctor Divine Doctor?
Brava also felt very strange, but she remained calm and bowed softly, "Thank you..."
Squeak!
At this time.
The small wooden door was opened.
"What's the fuss about?"
Alfred was holding back his anger and had no place to vent it. When he saw everyone, he immediately cursed.
"A bunch of bastards!"
"If you dare to disturb Prince Charles and Master Xavier from resting, I will slap you to death!"
Several people were so frightened that they shrank and did not dare to say another word.
"Little girl!"
Alfred looked at Little Fool, his face darkened again.
"Come with us!"
"Ah?"
Little Fool pointed at herself.
"Are you calling me?"
"Nonsense!"
"You... aren't you unfamiliar with me?"
"..."
Alfred's face turned even darker.
"Master Xavier wants to see you!"
Although he was angry, he naturally had to listen to what Divine Doctor Xavier said.
Passing him, Acker almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
He didn't know why, but every time he saw Mr. Li being frustrated, he felt particularly happy.
Everyone looked surprised and confused.
Could it be that...this little girl really knew Doctor Divine Xavier?
"Ah, right!"
Little Fool seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Cachi, "Do you also want to see Grandpa Xavier?"
"Yes!"
Cachi nodded subconsciously.
"I want to see him, I want to see him!"
"Then come here too."
Little Fool waved.
"You just helped the Young Master, you are a good person!"
"Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl!"
Cachi was overjoyed and quickly followed.
Naturally, he didn't expect that just some subconscious acts of kindness would bring him rewards that he had never dreamed of!
"..."
Alfred's mouth twitched.
Just thinking of Divine Doctor Xavier's inexplicable attitude towards Little Fool, he resisted the urge to stop Cachi.
That’s it!
He would not interfere in Master Xavier’s matter!
The remaining people were so jealous that their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
This...
Just went in?
Why was it him?
Subconsciously.
They cast their hopeful eyes on Brava.
Don't panic!
Still have a chance!
"Alfred."
Feeling the gazes of several people, Brava took a deep breath, showed what she thought was a flawless smile, and bowed forward softly.
"The Prince Charles..."
"He doesn't have time to see you!"
Alfred replied coldly to her.
Seemingly feeling annoyed, he added another sentence.
"What are you acting?"
"Puff!"
Acker couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud.
"Boy!"
Alfred almost couldn't help but take action.
"Why are you laughing!"
"I think what you said makes so much sense!"
Acker gave a thumbs up, for the first time he felt that Alfred was not that annoying.
Bang!
Alfred flicked his sleeves and closed the courtyard door.
"Come in with me! You, wait here!"
Of course, he was talking about Cachi.
"Eh, eh!"
Cachi saluted repeatedly and stayed where he was.
Being able to enter this courtyard meant that you could always see Divine Doctor Xavier, so it was much better than the few hopeless people outside.
…
Outside the room.
Several people were so jealous that they almost went crazy, and the way they looked at Brava unkindly.
A friend of Prince Charles?
Hehe.
Well said!
Why couldn't you even pass Alfred's test?
Aside.
Brava’s face turned red and white for a while, her tall chest rose and fell, and she was obviously angry.
"Wait for me!"
Left a weak and cruel word.
She was so ashamed and angry that she had no face to stay here anymore, and she didn't dare to look at the disdainful eyes of several people, so she ran away as if running away.
…
In the wing room, Divine Doctor Xavier retracted his big hand.
"With the support of my master's elixir, although her soul power is still slightly lost, there will be no serious problems in a short period of time."
"Thank you, Sir!"
Acker breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, he would have time to continue looking for a way to cure Little Fool.
Of course, the premise was that Little Fool would no longer use the power of the Eye of Illusion Breaking.
"Thank you, Grandpa Xavier!"
Little Fool looked delighted and saluted quickly.
"Okay, okay!"
Divine Doctor Xavier touched her head, and his attitude toward her was obviously better than that of the other people in the room, including Prince Charles.
"I heard about you."
He glanced at Acker again.
"You've done a good job. It's commendable that you can keep your heart."
Compared to before.
At this time, Acker no longer had the feeling of bitterness and hatred, and the fierce aura between his brows had been reduced by most, but he had regained the state and character that a young man should have.
"Indeed so."
Aside.
Prince Charles sighed with emotion, "When I saw you earlier... ahem, taking revenge when there is a grievance, I was very envious."
"Thank Prince Charles for rescuing us today!"
Acker crossed his fists.
"Boy!"
Alfred raised his eyebrows.
"This is the Prince Charles of the Quirm Dynasty, please speak politely!"
Acker’s face was expressionless and thought he farted again.
"You..."
"Alright."
The Prince Charles laughed to himself.
"As a prince, I can only fool those who don't know what's going on. Don't you still know what the real situation is?"
He looked at Acker again.
"Speaking of which, ahem... you did me a big favor by giving Master Xavier that Crimson Flame Snake."
"You..."
Acker frowned slightly.
"Are you sick too?"
"Hey! Boy, what are you talking about?"
"Yes."
The Prince Charles nodded and sighed, "I am indeed ill, and I am extremely ill..."
It turned out that when Prince Charles's biological mother was pregnant, she was attacked by someone, and the cold air entered her body, which caused him to be born with deficiencies, and his roots were already damaged before he was born. If not for the careful treatment by Divine Doctor Xavier over the years, he would not have lived to be two years old, and then be killed by that cold air.
Of course, the cold air had been suppressed to this day, and even Divine Doctor Xavier was helpless.
"You're very pitiful."
Little Fool looked at Prince Charles with sympathy.
"It doesn't matter."
The Prince Charles smiled.
"Everyone has his own destiny, and you can't force it."
"I want to try."
Aside.
Acker frowned, as if he had finally made up his mind, and suddenly spoke.
Previously, if Prince Charles had not rescued the siege, he would not even be able to escape from Skyforce City, let alone the qualifications for the Martial Arts Academy.
Well, repay tenfold.
Revenge should be repaid tenfold.
This was what he had always believed!
"What did you say?"
Alfred didn't hear clearly.
"I said, I want to try."
"You? Even Master Xavier is at a loss for what to do. How can you, a boy who is in the Opening Meridians Realm, come up with a solution!"
"What if there is?"
Acker retorted.
The good impression that Alfred had left on him just now was gone.
"Boy."
Alfred pointed at several Beast Cores beside the Prince Charles.
"Did you see that?"
"If you can really think of a way, I will eat these things in front of you!"
"Real?"
Acker’s eyes lit up.
"Haha, I always stick to my word when I speak, and there is no reason to go back on it!"
"Okay, just wait!"
The words fell.
Acker slowly closed his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"Take a nap and I'll have a solution when I wake up!"
Alfred was speechless.
