Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Sophia

Rachel Fournier and the others had been in a meeting for over an hour, and an hour later, Rachel Fournier returned to the corner along with Everest Zuck.

Everest Zuck also went to the meeting because he represented the newly joined sect, and naturally, he needed to sit in on the meeting’s proceedings.

"Rachel, did you see Elder Miao?" As soon as they returned, Yusuf Zuck asked anxiously because the meeting had concluded, and that meant Elder Miao must have certainly arrived, right?

"No, Elder Miao didn’t come." Rachel Fournier shook her head and took a deep breath, "Elder Miao is dead!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Yusuf Zuck nearly jumped up. He hadn’t come here to attend some extraordinary meeting but to find Elder Miao. Now Rachel Fournier was saying Elder Miao was dead?

"I also just found out about Elder Miao’s passing. However, her granddaughter has come. She claims that the old lady passed away half a month ago."

"How could this be such a coincidence? How could this be such a coincidence?" Yusuf Zuck sat down in anguish. If Elder Miao was dead, then wasn’t Ember Vance beyond help?

"Yusuf Zuck, don’t lose heart. Even though Elder Miao has passed on, she still has a granddaughter. I see her granddaughter is also extraordinary; perhaps she can heal too, right?" Everest Zuck immediately tried to comfort him.

"Her granddaughter?" Yusuf Zuck was stunned for a moment, questioning, "Could she do it?"

"Treat a dead horse as though it’s alive, before the old lady died, she must have passed on her skills to someone, doesn’t that make sense? So her granddaughter might even surpass her."

"Exactly, exactly. Where is Elder Miao’s granddaughter?" Yusuf Zuck nodded repeatedly. Miao medicine needed to be passed on, so her granddaughter might be an expert.

"Hold on, don’t rush, there’s still another matter." Everest Zuck stopped Yusuf Zuck, "I have just signed you up."

"Signed up? Signed up for what?" Yusuf Zuck asked, puzzled.

Rachel Fournier joined the conversation, "Each newly joined sect at the exchange event is required to send one to two disciples to participate in the exchange competition. As the Ghost Valley Sect is newly joined, you must participate according to the rules, Everest Zuck is too old, so your name was nominated."

"What, what?" Yusuf Zuck felt like he had misheard. He was supposed to participate in what exchange competition? Wasn’t this looking for trouble unnecessarily?

"It’s unavoidable. We can’t not participate, we even paid a membership fee..." Everest Zuck said with a wry smile.

"Then why didn’t you sign yourself up? I have no cultivation level, why enter my name?" Yusuf Zuck said, annoyed.

"Participants in the exchange competition must not be older than thirty years, and there are many here without cultivation levels who have signed up too!"

"Fine, fine, let it be. It doesn’t matter." Yusuf Zuck waved his hand impatiently, resigned to the fact he was signed up. He could just go up there and not fight, concede to whoever he faced, and step down immediately.

"Rachel, take me to Elder Miao’s granddaughter, which one is she? Is it that young girl in the Miao outfit over there?" Yusuf Zuck’s telekinesis had already spotted a young girl in ethnic clothing, around eighteen or nineteen years old, not very tall, petite and pretty, adorned with lots of silver jewelry, dressed very festively and constantly smiling as she weaved through the crowd.

"Yes, that’s her, her name is Sophia." Rachel Fournier smiled, "But don’t be fooled by her appearance; Sophia is quite extraordinary."

"Extraordinary indeed." Yusuf Zuck nodded, as his telekinesis revealed the basket on Sophia’s back contained a large assortment of living creatures like snakes, centipedes, toads, scorpions, and the like.

Additionally, he noticed the energy inside the girl was different from that of other internal martial artists; she had energy, but it wasn’t Gang Qi or Inner Strength.

"Let’s go." Rachel Fournier led Yusuf Zuck towards Sophia.

Moments later, at a herbal medicine stall, Yusuf Zuck, Everest Zuck, and Rachel Fournier saw Sophia, who was also bargaining with someone to purchase a type of medicinal herb.

"No way, no way, that’s too expensive. I’ve only got three hundred eighty dollars, will you sell it or not?"

"Not selling, not selling, even three thousand less and I won’t sell, who are you trying to fool with three hundred eighty?" The stall owner didn’t recognize Sophia, so he definitively refused to sell.

"Thirty thousand, right? I’ll buy it. Big brother, pay up!" Yusuf Zuck gave Everest Zuck a meaningful look.

"Alright, I’ll pay!" Everest Zuck actually had cash on him. Although he no longer needed the tent, he still carried his cash and bank cards with him.

"Sister Rachel... That herb is useful to me, who is this person?" As Sophia looked up to see Yusuf Zuck and Everest Zuck, she also spotted Rachel Fournier, so she immediately ran to Rachel’s side and asked about Yusuf.

"Little Sister Sophia, this herb was bought for you, take it." Yusuf Zuck handed over the herb as he spoke.

"Why? Are you really giving it to me? Why the kindness? No one shows such concern without an ulterior motive, you must be either a villain or a thief!" Sophia eyed Yusuf Zuck warily without taking the herb.

"Take it, he’s asking you for a favor. He’s come all this way specifically to find your grandmother!" Rachel Fournier seemed quite familiar with Sophia, always keeping a smile on her face.

"Then I certainly can’t take it. If I accept his herb, and then he asks me to do something bad, wouldn’t that mean I’ve fallen into his trap? Tell me first, what do you want my help with?" Sophia kept sizing up Yusuf Zuck, and perhaps realizing that he wasn’t much older than her, she didn’t speak very politely.

"Miss Sophia, I have a friend who has suffered brain death due to a blow from an external object. After the famous doctor David Hart examined him, brainwaves were formed, and there is still a heartbeat. I’ve heard that the senior Sophia was unparalleled in medical skills, so I came here to seek the senior’s help. But since the senior has passed away, it’s a great loss for our Sophia medical legacy. Since you, Miss Sophia, are the senior’s granddaughter, you’re obviously the recipient of the true teachings. That’s why I would like to ask for your help to save someone."

"So, it’s to see a patient, to save someone?" Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Yusuf Zuck, and then Rachel Fournier, before pulling Rachel aside to speak: "Are you very familiar with him?"

"He’s a younger brother I’ve just recognized. He’s a very good person," Rachel Fournier said with a smile.

"Alright, fine, I can try. But you’re my sister Rachel, so how can I refuse? However, I can’t guarantee successful treatment," Sophia warned in advance.

"Mhm, as long as you go, that’s enough," Rachel Fournier nodded and said.

"My Purple Pearl, who stole my Purple Pearl!" Just then, from the area where Tyler Nash and his group were, Tyler Nash started shouting, and all of his fellow disciples began searching around.

Antiono Benson sat cross-legged on a stool, his expression dark and stormy.

Tyler Nash was supposed to give Antiono the Purple Pearl, but when he opened the box, it was empty!

The twenty-billion-dollar Purple Pearl was lost, so how could Antiono not be furious, and how could Tyler Nash not panic?

And upon hearing Tyler Nash’s shouting, the organizers immediately rushed over, and many people also gathered around to watch the excitement.

Rachel Fournier just glanced at Yusuf Zuck, and although Yusuf Zuck feigned looking in that direction as well, he was actually bursting with joy inside.

Now, not even a trace of that Purple Pearl remained!
