Gao Kes feelings when Gao Yan was caught were complicated.

He was a well-matched enemy. Over the past few years, Gao Ke had endured hardships due to this crafty old scoundrel.

Jiang Chen had just arrived at the Fire Phoenix City, but he had already managed to make Gao Yan fall out of power. Although it was thanks to his genuine blood, on second thought, what would have happened if he had told people about his genuine blood at the very beginning?

First, Gao Yues restraining order wouldnt have been abolished, and Jiang Chen would have been assassinated by the best killer in the Dragon Field.

Gao Yan kept claiming he was doing everything for the sake of their family, but for his own wild ambition, he definitely would have taken care of Jiang Chen because of his genuine blood.

Jiang Chen was smart. He hadnt told anyone about it until the start of the trial, when he had seen the clan elders. It was totally beyond Gao Yans imagination. He had exposed Gao Yans poisoning scheme and destroyed the latter completely.

What a horrid youngster, Gao Ke couldnt help thinking. With the discovery of the genuine blood, his prejudice for Jiang Chen was also gone. What he planned on doing at that moment was apologizing for what he had done and said.

Clan elders, do you really trust Jiang Chen?! Gao Yan shouted, still reluctant to accept defeat.

Seeing is believing. If you didnt have a guilty conscience, why did you attack Jiang Chen and try to run?

Gao Yan gnashed his teeth. His look exposed his cruelty. He said coldly, Yeah, I poisoned him. He wasnt a good lord. He didnt teach his daughter to behave and got the Gaos laughed at by the other aristocratic families of inheritance.

You did it for yourself. Dont try to make it sound so pretty! Gao Ke said angrily.

Whatever, now I have Gao Jinghongs life in my hands. My life for his life. I give you the antidote and you let me go! Gao Yan said, giving up at the first obstacle in his plan. At that moment, surviving was his only concern.

He looked at Jiang Chen and said complacently, Do you think he really could detoxify the poison? Even the best doctors in the Dragon Field didnt know what poison it was. Even if he really could, do you have enough time? How much more time do you think Gao Jinghong still has?

The clan elders, ready to attack him, were struck dumb.

If it was possible, they would do anything they could to keep Gao Jinghong alive.

Many people looked towards Jiang Chen.

Son, do you have confidence? Gao Yue was worried, since it had taken him several years to detoxify her poison.

No problem. Jiang Chen nodded and said, Clan elders, stall him here for more time. Im going to work on the poison now. It wont take me too long. Or you can just kill him now, but of course, you dont trust me enough to do that. Anyway, Im happy to see hes this desperate.

Then he flew back to the Fire Phoenix City with Gao Yue.

Dont come back and beg me later. Gao Yan curled his lips, making the wrinkles on his face seem deeper.

Gao Ke, Gao Yue, and Jiang Chen went back to Gao Jinghongs room. Under Gao Ke and Gao Yues gazes, Jiang Chen started to work.

He held some slim silver needles in his hand. He stuck them all over Gao Jinghongs upper body.

Its more like venom than poison. Thats why other doctors didnt know what the problem was. Jiang Chen tore Gao Jinghongs clothes open.

Gao Yue moved towards the bed and saw something moving under the skin between the needles. It looked like insects.

My gosh, Gao Ke exclaimed. There were so many of them that the skin was about to burst.

They took a closer look and saw the insects had been trapped by the needles. Their only way out was through the throat.

Jiang Chen stuck a needle right above the belly button, then all of the insects started to move upward, as if they had been attacked.

Im going to get rid of all of the insects, Jiang Chen warned.

Gao Jinghong rearranged his waist and opened his mouth wide. The weird insects kept running out of it. They followed a certain track and formed a group.

Damn it.

It was beyond Gao Kes imagination that there had been so many insects in his fathers belly. He flicked his fingers in fury. A flame hit the swirl of the insects and burned them quickly.

Gao Jinghong laid down again, but unlike before, he looked much better.

The recovery ability of a Venerable showed its importance in such an occasion. Jiang Chen said, Hell be fine when he wakes up.

Great!

Gao Ke was pleasantly surprised. He dashed out immediately, eager to inform the clan elders of the news. It was time to kill Gao Yan.

Jiang Chen, Gao Yue suddenly called.

Yeah?

Nothing. She shook her head. She didnt know what to say.

Mother, dont worry. The Gaos will be proud of us. Just leave your unfinished task to me.

Not until he paid this visit to the Gaos in person did he understand his mothers difficulties and the knot in her heart.

Okay, Gao Yue beamed. She felt less guilty and sad at that moment. She was incredibly proud of her son.

On the other hand, Gao Ke had made it back to the peak. Looking at Gao Yan, who was extremely nervous, he said something that made the latter desperate.

Gao Yan, how dare you use venom on my father?! Thats unforgivable! For your information, the venom in my fathers body has been removed. We dont need you for anything. Just pay the price for what you did!

Impossible! Theres no way he could have cleared that venom! Gao Yan didnt believe him, but it didnt matter whether he believed it or not. The five clan elders attacked him at the same time. In fierce flames, he was burnt into charcoal that smashed into ash after he fell down.

Hiss.

Gao Li took a deep breath. Fortunately, the clan elders werent going to punish Gao Yans followers.

He thought for a while, then hurried to run back to his place. He prepared a drop of essence blood. No, one drop wouldnt be enough. He recalled what he had said and made up his mind. He prepared three drops for Jiang Chen.

In less than a day, the news that Gao Yan had poisoned the lord and been killed by the clan elders spread throughout the clans land.

Of course, it caused a big stir. Since the clan elders had announced it in person, the news was definitely true. The Gaos felt disdain for Gao Yan and what he had done. They held strong hatred against him. Fortunately, the lord was fine.

In addition, Lady Gao Yue was accepted by the Gaos once again. Both her name and her sons name were written into the genealogy book.

It was said that all this was because Jiang Chen had pure phoenix blood.

As for the genuine blood, the clan elders intended to keep it a secret so that one day, they could use it as a trump card.

Gao Yue, we owe you a lot.

In the Fire Phoenix City, the higher-ups that had pushed her so hard all came to apologize to her.

Third Grandpa said, We thought political marriages were the only way out. We were too stupid. We almost made a bigger mistake. Please forgive us. If youre willing to stay, youre still the first successor to the lords position.

No, its suited more for my brother than me, said Gao Yue.

But Jiang Chen has genuine blood. In the future, hell lead the Gaos for sure. If we make your brother the successor to the lords position, then your son, it will be a mess. Why dont we follow the old plan?

Gao Yue thought about it carefully, since it had to do with Jiang Chen, but she finally agreed.

If the Gaos tried their best to train Jiang Chen, he would make enormous progress.
