Book 6: Chapter 35:1: Immortal Phoenix—Fu Hua (Officially Verified), Part 1

An older doctor, with streaks of silver in his hair, emerged from the gaggle of medical staff. He looked like he was very experienced. From the respect he received, Chen Heng deduced he was the highest-ranking among them.

The doctor’s words made sense, but just for ordinary people; they didn’t apply to Chen Heng.

Chen Heng had many ways to assist Ryougi Shiki and didn’t need their help. Accepting their advice might even complicate matters, spinning the situation out of control.

“I get where you’re coming from, Doctor, but I have my own ways of handling this without your help.” Out of concern for their safety, he declined the doctors’ advice.

Ryougi Shiki couldn’t see the lines on Chen Heng due to several protective trinkets given to him by his ancestor. Chen Heng valued his life dearly and had even signed up for the life preservation services of the Dimension Administrators Association.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

He was confident of his own safety around Ryougi Shiki but wasn’t sure he could protect the doctors.

“Hey, kid, do you know who this doctor is? Senior Zhang is—” A younger doctor, who looked like a recent graduate, began to confront Chen Heng but halted at a gesture from the senior doctor.

“Little Wang, there’s no need to say anything more. Let’s leave. If Mister Chen is confident, it means he’s not ordinary. Our understanding of abilities is limited. Let’s leave it to the experts.”

[TL Note: I’m not sure for every profession or setting, but addressing a person as “Little (name)” is also done for juniors of much lower positions, usually a mentee. When I was an intern in a hospital in China, that was how the professors addressed me. They also use the same naming convention for pet names as a sign of endearment.]

“But, Senior Zhang...,” protested the young doctor. After all, this was a rare opportunity to study an ability-user patient up close, something they did not normally see.

“No buts. Miss Ryougi Shiki barely touched a vase, and it shattered. Do you think you’re tougher than a vase?” With that, the senior doctor exited the ward.

“...” The young doctor cast a longing glance at Ryougi Shiki. An instinctual fear suddenly flooded his body, causing him to scamper out in a fluster with the other doctors, intimidated by the unusual glow in her eyes.

“Elder Brother, what should I do next?”

Most of Ryougi Shiki’s points had been used to purchase the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception usage manual. Without more points, she wouldn’t have enough for her ability second awakening. Considering she might want to buy something else, Chen Heng gave her the additional points.

Don’t ask why Chen Heng treated Ryougi Shiki so well. After all, she had addressed him as Elder Brother, so he had to be a responsible elder brother to her.

Furthermore, even if Ryougi Shiki did not address him as that, he would not leave her be. Don’t forget how he gained his Absolute Precognition.

Repairing something like Absolute Precognition alone costs 100,000 points, let alone buying it. Chen Heng couldn’t even find an option to purchase it from the Dimension Administrators Association’s store. Perhaps it was a non-tradable item.

Or maybe because he already had the Absolute Precognition, the store didn’t show it to him. Whatever the reason, its value was undeniable.

The Dimension Administrators Association had taken notice of Chen Heng because of this skill.

Even if he hadn’t joined the Dimension Administrators Association, he wouldn’t have repeated his past mistakes. He could easily have lived off Luo Li.

Erm...actually, that does not sound too bad.

Chen Heng glanced at Ryougi Shiki, who was still lying in bed, her eyes closed. The time she would take to assimilate the knowledge wouldn’t be short. If one just bought a skill or ability from the Dimension Administrators Association, mastering it would be quick.

However, she had bought a manual, so she needed more time to understand the contents.

On the other hand, Chen Heng couldn’t rest. He had to face the Special Affairs Bureau next, but he wasn’t worried.

He guessed the doctors at the hospital would alert them.

During the wave of Spiritual Energy Resurgence, the Special Affairs Bureau accurately found its role. In the hidden world’s eyes, it remained unchanged. However, to mundane people, it represented the gathering place of sanctioned ability users. It even publicized its contact details for mundane citizens and welcomed calls.

But if one wasted its time with prank calls or false leads, detention awaited one!
