After pondering for a moment, Dr. Gates said, “Multidew Herb.” Multidew Herb? What kind of medicinal material was that? After hearing this, Philip's entire face trembled as he inquired, “Dr. Gates, what medicine is this?” Dr. Gates shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and explained, “Young Master Philip, I don’t know this medicine either. It’s just something recorded in an ancient book. It’s said to be made from the juice of a hundred kinds of herbs that has absorbed sunlight and moonlight. It takes 3,000 years to form a plant. Then, the plant is taken and pounded into medicinal dew.” Dr. Gates raised three fingers as he said that, his face full of helpless distress as he shook his head. Philip did not feel well after hearing this. Was there really such a thing in this world? It sounded more like a plant from a fairytale. The plant needed 3,000 years to grow? The history of this country was only 5,000 years. “Dr. Gates, was this recorded in an ancient bo
“Young Master Philip, the 3,000 years mentioned in the ancient texts may not be very credible and perhaps just exaggerated.” Seeing Philip’s look of dejection, Dr. Gates coughed lightly and said, “However, don’t be discouraged. Although this prescription is hard to come by, I’ll try my best to read the ancient books again to find out if there’s a remedy to alleviate the young madam’s illness.” Philip nodded. He felt very empty, disappointed, and upset. “Dr. Gates, I'll be counting on you, then,” Philip said respectfully with a bow. Dr. Gates quickly helped Philip up and said, “Young Master Philip, you don’t have to do this. I’m just one of the Clarke family’s doctors and I should do my best. You don’t have to bow to me.” Philip did not say anything but looked at Dr. Gates very seriously and said, “Dr. Gates, don’t tell the young madam about this matter for now.” Dr. Gates naturally understood and answered with a nod, “I understand, please rest assured. I’ll go back and pres
At this moment, a tiny figure was rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was wearing a cute pair of pink pajamas and standing at the bedroom door. “Daddy.” Mila called out and walked in wearing big pink slippers. Philip smiled, bent over, and picked Mila up. He bopped her nose and asked, “Why are you awake?” Mila hid in Philip’s arms in fear and said, “I had a nightmare. I dreamed that Mom left me and went far away.” While saying that, Mila looked at the sleeping Wynn on the bed and wanted to call out to her. Philip immediately put a finger to his mouth in a shushing gesture and said, “Mom is asleep. Let me play with you for a while.” Mila nodded, looking very cute with her hair slightly disheveled. The father and daughter sat in the living room to play at this moment. While playing, Philip noticed a small object hanging from Mila’s neck. It was a small green bottle carved with patterns and there was a red string on both ends. The bottle was about the size of a little finger.
Wynn was stunned. Philip actually had a great-great-grandfather. Was that not her father-in-law’s great-grandfather? The generation gap was too huge! For a while, Wynn was a little flustered. She stared reproachfully at Philip and said, “Why didn't you tell me earlier? You nearly got me into trouble.” After that, Wynn took Mila, who was still drinking her milk, back to the room and started changing. About half an hour later, Wynn changed into a long white dress with a small trench coat. Her hair was coiled on her head, and she put on high heels. With light makeup on, she looked very savvy and approachable. “How is it? Do I look okay?” Wynn looked at herself and glanced at Philip expectantly. Philip stroked his chin, nodded, and said, “Okay, this is fine. The grand elder is not a particular person.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “How can we act so casually? No way, I’ll change into another outfit.” With that said, Wynn returned to the room. Ten minutes later, she
Soon, the four arrived at the middle hall. At this moment, an old man with his hand behind his back was looking at the birdcage hanging in the yard. From a distance, the old man was dressed in plain clothes, looking quite hale and hearty. Horace walked in with Philip and the others. He bowed slightly to the old man and said, “Grand Elder, Philip has brought his wife and child to visit you.” The grand elder turned around with a benevolent smile. He looked at Philip who was grinning broadly, stretched out his hand in a beckon, and said, “Little Monkey, are you finally willing to come back and visit this lonely old man?” Philip stepped forward, bowed to the old man, and said with a smile, “Grand Elder, I’m here to visit you.” The old man rolled his eyes at Philip before looking at Wynn and Mila who were standing with trepidation on the side. Then, with a smile on his face, he beckoned to Wynn and Mila while saying, “Come here, all of you. There are not so many rules to follo
At this moment, the grand elder was lying on a wicker chair, enjoying tea and listening to music. “Little Monkey, refill my tea,” the old man called out. Philip walked over with a few steps, refilled the old man’s teapot, and sat next to him. The old man glanced at Philip and asked with a faint smile, “Something on your mind?” Philip squeezed out a smile and said, “Nothing.” The old man chuckled, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and said, “I watched you grow up. I can tell at a glance that you have something on your mind. If you tell me, perhaps I can help.” Philip thought for a while, got up, and sat down next to the grand elder. He refilled the old man’s teacup before asking, “Grand Elder, I want to ask you something.” The old man hummed and said, “What is it? Why are you so secretive and why do you look so serious?” Philip pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you know about the Multidew Herb?” “Multidew Herb?” The grand elder suddenly repeated and sa
His mother actually knew about the Multidew Herb? “Grand Elder, what’s going on? Why did Mother leave you this thing?” Philip asked. The old man shook his head and said with a smile, “Your mother’s talent is the first in this world, and no one would dare to say no to her. She must have her reasons for leaving this thing behind. Back then, your mother and your father were in charge of the sixth and seventh zones in the Nonagon. They were known as the double emperors. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before the turmoil in the Nonagon broke out. Your parents had no choice but to leave. Your mother's accident was more or less related to the Nonagon. Perhaps it was also connected to the Multidew Herb.” The grand elder looked at the sky, lost in thoughts. Waves of sadness appeared on his face. Philip listened in amazement. He had already learned from Fennel Leigh that his mother’s accident was related to the Nonagon. However, the Multidew Herb was also related to his mother now. C
Back to Philip’s side. In the afternoon, he brought Wynn and Mila to his third mother’s residence. Aria Tsar’s place was plain and simple. The decoration style was homely and elegant. At Wynn and the child’s arrival, Aria came out from the backyard with a loving smile on her face. She stepped forward and took Wynn’s hand while saying, “Wynnie, I’ve heard so much about you from Hazel and Nadia. Seeing you today, you’re indeed a beauty. Come here and sit down. You just gave birth and shouldn’t stand for too long.” “Third Mother.” Wynn inclined slightly and addressed her politely. Aria was very fond of Wynn and Mila. “This must be Mila. How cute!” Aria pinched Mila’s chubby face dotingly. Wynn said to Mila, “This is Third Grandma.” Mila looked up at Aria with her big eyes and greeted, “Third Grandma.” Aria kept laughing happily and started chatting with Wynn and Mila. Poor Philip was just a decoration next to them. After the meal, Wynn and Aria chatted for a few mo
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
