“Simon, is he… is he really the Young Master?” Warren asked Simon Stuart, unable to wait for Billy’s response.
“Elder Warren, he really is Casper!” Simon smiled and nodded.
“Truly a miracle! Young Master, you’re actually still alive?!” After hearing Simon’s words, Warren no longer doubted and became overwhelmed with excitement.
“Greetings, Young Master!” Warren was about to kneel down to Billy, but before he could, Billy quickly released a burst of energy to lift him up.
“You mustn’t, Elder Warren!” Billy said firmly, preventing him from kneeling.
“This is wonderful, truly wonderful!” Warren’s eyes glistened with tears. Then, he turned to Harleen and bowed slightly. “Should I address you as Young Madam?”
“Elder Warren, please don’t be so formal. My name is Harleen Knight, you can call me Harleen.” Harleen returned the bow to Warren.
“That won’t do. The master and servant etiquette must not be abandoned.” Warren shook his head in response.
“Elder Warren, you’re the elder, there’s no need to be so polite.” Billy smiled and said, “Let’s sit down and talk!”
“Alright, alright, Young Master, please have a seat inside!” Warren led the group to a nearby small house.
The house was small in size, and with seven or eight people entering, the living room felt a bit crowded. Looking at the environment, Billy couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy. Warren might not be able to break through to the Sovereign realm, but he had already reached the complete state of the War God-Emperor. With his strength, he could have easily established his own sect outside. It was worth noting that within the ancient martial arts world, there wasn’t a single second-rate power that had a War God-Emperor at the complete state. And yet, Warren chose to stay in this small courtyard for more than a decade, all because of a promise he made to Billy’s grandfather.
“Young Master, why did you come here today?” After everyone was seated, Warren spoke, “By the way, does Chad Stuart know your identity? Did he cause any trouble for you?”
“Grandpa Warren, Chad Stuart is already dead!” Violet explained the situation to Warren, including Billy’s identity as Commander Gardner. There was no need to hide it anymore, so she spoke without reservation.
“What?!” Warren exclaimed once again after hearing her words.
“Young Master, you… you are Commander Gardner of Glavale?” he asked.
Over the years, even though he had been confined to this small courtyard and rarely went out, he had heard of the name Commander Gardner. Moreover, he had heard about Commander Gardner’s recent encounter with the Nine Paths of National Fortune at Kun Lun Mountains. And on that day, under the blessing of the National Fortune, his cultivation had skyrocketed from the early stages of War God-Emperor to the half-step Sovereign realm. If it weren’t for his physical condition, he would have definitely broken through the real Sovereign realm. He never imagined that this national hero was actually their young master.
“Grandpa Warren, isn’t Billy amazing?” Violet giggled, her eyes shining with admiration.
“Heavens truly favor the Stuart family!” Warren couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.
“Elder Warren, since we have some free time now, let me examine your body!” After chatting for a while, Billy looked at Warren and spoke.
“Don’t trouble yourself, young master. I have accepted my fate with this body for so many years…” Warren responded.
“Grandpa Warren, let Billy take a look. He is very skilled in medicine!” Harleen smiled.
“Yes, Billy’s medical skills are even better than those of the royal physicians. Let him help you, he will definitely find a way!” Violet chimed in.
“Haha, alright then. I’ll trouble the young master!” Warren finally gave in.
Billy then began examining Warren’s body.
“Billy, how is it? Can you cure Grandpa Warren?” After a few minutes, Sacha asked eagerly.
“Yes!” Billy nodded with a smile.
“Really?!” Simon and his wife exclaimed at the same time.
Warren’s face also showed a glimmer of hope as he looked at Billy. “Young master, can you really cure me?”
Although he had long since accepted his physical condition, he couldn’t help but feel excited when he heard Billy’s words.
“Yes!” Billy smiled again and continued, “However, because your condition has been going on for a long time, it will require two sessions of acupuncture.”
“That’s great!” Simon Stuart and his wife were overjoyed.
For the next few days, Billy and his group stayed at the Stuart family’s residence.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. During these two weeks, some of the former honorary guests of the Stuart family returned to the main courtyard. Apart from pills and spiritual fruits, Billy personally helped them improve their cultivation. In just half a month, there were already more than ten experts at the complete state of War God-Emperor among the honorary guests of the Stuart family. Half of them had even reached the half-step Sovereign realm.
Billy was confident that these half-step Sovereign honorary guests would break through within two or three months at most. In addition, Simon Stuart, who was already at the complete state of War God-Emperor, broke through to the Sovereign realm with Billy’s help without any suspense.
Sacha Stuart and Violet Frazier also made significant progress and entered the War Emperor realm. After the second session of acupuncture by Billy, Warren’s damaged meridians were completely healed. With his cultivation restored to its peak state, he had stepped into the Third-rank Sovereign realm.
At this point, the strength of the Stuart family was vastly different from half a month ago. Among the top-class forces in the ancient martial arts world, they were undoubtedly the strongest.
One morning, Billy and Harleen once again visited Warren’s small courtyard to have tea and chat with him.
“Young master truly deserves to be Glavale’s genius of the millennium. Not only are your martial talents extraordinary, but your medical skills are also impressive!” Warren couldn’t help but sigh. He knew his physical condition the best. He had seen countless so-called medical experts who claimed to be powerless. But Billy managed to heal him in just a few days with two acupuncture sessions. His medical skills were truly unparalleled.
“You flatter me!” Billy picked up his teacup and took a sip. After a pause, he looked at Warren with a slightly heavy tone and asked, “Elder Warren, after all these years, is there still no news of my grandfather?”
“No!” Warren shook his head. Then, after taking a sip of tea, with a hesitant tone, he continued, “But…”
“But what?” Billy asked eagerly.
“Although I have no news about him, I’m eighty percent certain that your grandfather is still alive!” Warren put down his teacup and responded.
Billy’s hand trembled slightly as he held the teacup. “Why do you say that?”
