Chapter 472: Signature: Fu Hanxiu at the Summit of the Deer Contention

But, compared to her intervening, she was more eager to see how the two children would handle this situation themselves.

After all, they couldn't live forever under her and Fu Hanxiu's protection; they also needed to experience growth and tempering.

Xiao Chen stared for a few seconds, crouched down, picked up the introduction letter again, just as before, and handed it over, saying, "Sorry, it's my fault."

One of the elders nearby couldn't bear to watch, saying, "Li Zhanglao, the child didn't do it on purpose. How about this: I'll take this introduction letter."

The elder beside Li Zhanglao was evidently much more amiable.

He said this while taking the introduction letter, and also gave Xiao Chen a kind smile.

Xiao Chen and Xiao Hu returned the smile.

This incident made them realize that the world has bad people, but also good people.

"Thank you, Elder Grandfather."

Well-behaved, sensible.

Who wouldn't like such a child?

But that Li Zhanglao still wore a grim face. However, since the introduction letter had been taken by the other elders, he couldn't continue to find fault.

That elder took the introduction letter, discovered it was an envelope, pinched it with his fingers, paused for a second, then smiled and said, "It seems there's more than one introduction letter inside."

These words reached everyone's ears.

Nanguo Buxie burst out laughing, pointing at Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen and saying, "You country bumpkins from Donglin Country, do you really think the more introduction letters the better? Do you think, besides getting that Dog Emperor of Donglin to write an introduction letter, you also had a bunch of random people write one? How ridiculous!"

"Foolish things! With you lot, you still dare to dream of entering the Heaven Class? You lot aren't even worthy of stepping through the gates of Divine State Academy! Oh, I misspoke—you aren't even worthy of setting foot on the land of Beimingzhou; you'd better roll back to that dirty, backward Donglin Country!"

Nanguo Qingyuan followed up.

Many people covered their mouths and chuckled.

Although Nanguo Qingyuan and Nanguo Buxie spoke harshly, what they said wasn't without reason.

"The envelope hasn't even been opened yet—what are you rushing about for?"

Xiao Chen spoke coldly.

"Whether it's opened or not, it's still the same," Nanguo Buxie said with utter contempt.

"Elder Grandfather, please trouble yourself to open and have a look."

That elder nodded, tore open the envelope, and pulled out an introduction letter from inside.

He unfolded it to look, and then froze.

His relaxed brows and eyes instantly furrowed.

His complexion suddenly changed.

His whole person seemed to freeze.

"This, this is actually..."

Seeing this elder's reaction, the two other elders beside him and the seven Special Grade Instructors immediately cast curious glances.

Gu Elder had always been calm—what's going on now?

"Take a look yourselves."

Gu Elder handed the introduction letter to another elder on his right.

After examining it carefully, that elder had the same reaction.

Li Zhanglao, seeing this, felt a vague sense of foreboding rise in his heart.

Could it be that this introduction letter is different from what he imagined, written by some eminent hand?

He couldn't wait to snatch it over; three seconds later, his pupils contracted sharply.

Nanguo Buxie asked from the side, "Li Zhanglao, how is it? Is this introduction letter written by that Dog Emperor of Donglin Country?"

Li Zhanglao pretended not to hear, lightly shook his head, and his eyes trembled.

"How is this possible!!"

"What do you mean, how is it possible? Li Zhanglao, who exactly wrote this introduction letter?"

Ling Xueyao couldn't help but urge for an answer.

She gripped the railing in front of her with both hands, her face grim.

Li Zhanglao lifted his head, looked at her, filled with shock, and after a few seconds said in a low voice: "Yaowang Valley... Valley Master!"

"What?!"

These few words transmitted to everyone's ears, and all reactions were strikingly similar.

They first froze, then their gazes solidified.

"Medicine King Gu Gu Master?"

Even in Beimingzhou, where overall strength is greater, Yaowang Valley is not an unfamiliar place.

This medicinal force, centered on alchemy, after rising five years ago, became unstoppable; in five years it turned into the most mysterious medicinal force on the continent. The Valley Master of Yaowang Valley, with his miraculous medical skill, earned the title of Ghost Doctor.

Before, many forces disliked Yaowang Valley and tried to suppress it, but the outcomes were all miserable.

Even Dan Valley, fearing Yaowang Valley threatened its position, also moved against it, but not only failed to topple Yaowang Valley, it even lost its wife and troops.

Many people have heard of these things.

Especially the incident with Dan Valley, which left a deep impression.

Thus, Yaowang Valley's image in Beimingzhou is now mysterious and not to be provoked.

"This must be fake!"

Ling Xueyao shouted loudly.

She simply didn't believe that a country bumpkin from Donglin Country could obtain an introduction letter from the Medicine King Gu Gu Master!

Therefore, this introduction letter must be fake!

Li Zhanglao also came back to his senses from the shock.

He also echoed, "This letter is plain and unremarkable; if you cannot prove that this letter was handwritten by Medicine King Gu Gu Master, then it is fake!"

Fake?

Ye Qingran found it amusing.

This letter was written by her herself; how could it be fake?

At that moment Ye Qingran stepped out and tossed a token to Gu Elder.

"This is the Yao Wang Token, the insignia of Medicine King Gu Gu Master; everyone, take a look first, then draw conclusions!"

Gu Elder caught it, glanced at it, and immediately sensed its subtlety.

He infused a strand of Mysterious Force, and the Yao Wang Token glowed as a will poured out.

Everyone felt a terrifying pressure descend from above, making it hard to breathe.

Gu Elder's pupils narrowed, "This is… Saint's Will!"

The other two Elders and the seven Special Grade Instructors also sensed it.

The Saint, above the Mysterious Emperor, is a legendary realm.

Cultivators of the Mysterious Emperor level can more clearly perceive the Saint's will.

How could Gu Elder still not understand that this will was left by Medicine King Gu Gu Master inside the Yao Wang Token?

Even if we step back ten thousand steps, even if this person isn't Medicine King Gu Gu Master, a single Saint's Will already explains everything.

Would a Saint's recommendation to the Shenzhou Academy not grant this favor?

"Impossible! Their Introduction Letter must be fake, and even that Yao Wang Token is fake!"

Nanguo Buxie roared viciously.

"Medicine King Gu Gu Master? Saint's Will? All of it is fake!"

"It must be that they stole it from others; they are thieves! Someone, seize these shameless thieves!"

Nanguo Qingyuan followed up.

The two stared at Xiaohu Xiaocheng with especially fierce eyes.

How can people from a small place like Donglin possess Saint's Will, or have an Introduction Letter from Medicine King Gu Gu Master?

"Enough!"

Gu Elder barked sharply.

He raised the Yao Wang Token, "This Yao Wang Token cannot be counterfeit. If you have doubts, I'll send someone to verify with the Yaowang Valley immediately."

After speaking, Gu Elder pulled a second Introduction Letter from the envelope.

This time, he was much more cautious.

When he opened it, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still startled.

At the end of the Introduction Letter, the signature read: Zhu Lu Zhi Dian Fu Hanxiu.

Gu Elder's eyes bulged like copper bells.

This Introduction Letter actually came from the Supreme Lord of Zhu Lu Zhi Dian!

Heaven!

He stared at Xiaohu Xiaocheng in shock.

What on earth are these two kids?

Two Introduction Letters—one from Medicine King Gu Gu Master, the other from Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Zhi Dian!

"Gu Elder, what's wrong now?"

After the nearby Elder asked, Gu Elder shakily handed that Introduction Letter to him.

The Elder who saw it let out a startled gasp.

The seven Special Grade Instructors, seeing the two Elders' reaction, seemed even more shocked than when they first saw Medicine King Gu Gu Master's Introduction Letter; curiosity surged, and they swarmed around in a frenzy...

Then, eyes widened.
