Chapter 398: Chapter 282 New Mission

"Star Lord."

Upon seeing the arrival, several people stood up, straightened their waists, and brought the Eye of the Starry Sky mark on the palm of their right hands close to their chests, a gesture known as the Star Touching Ceremony.

Zhang Xiaoman, upon noticing this, couldn’t help feeling somewhat embarrassed. Good grief, this gesture had become so widespread? How come I, the boss, am still not accustomed to it?

"I apologize for the wait, everyone please come in, we’ll begin shortly."

He greeted everyone with a wave of his hand, and then released eight Star Knights, ordering them to stand guard outside, before he proceeded toward the grand hall of the Inheritance Land.

"Star Lord, you’ve arrived."

Inside, Su Fu and Ye Cang had been waiting, and upon seeing Zhang Xiaoman enter, they immediately came forward to greet him ceremoniously.

"No need for formalities. Is everyone here? Then, let’s not delay any further, this meeting will soon be..."

He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly pausing and turning his gaze toward Su Fu.

"Eh? Su Fu, what’s wrong? You look rather pale?"

Upon hearing this, Su Fu gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s nothing, Star Lord, don’t worry. I’ve just been a bit ill lately, but a few days of rest should suffice."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously, feeling that Su Fu seemed to be troubled by something deeper. Whatever it was, it appeared more complicated than what he had suggested.

Unable to help himself, he glanced toward Ye Cang, who seemed conflicted and hesitant to speak.

"What exactly is going on?"

Zhang Xiaoman could no longer ignore that they were hiding something from him, and his expression turned grave as he asked again.

"Ah..."

Ye Cang sighed heavily and said, "Star Lord, to be frank, I had observed Mr. Su’s condition and suspected that he was suffering from a hidden ailment. I diagnosed him, but the results..."

He was interrupted as Zhang Xiaoman had already guessed the problem, and was shocked, but before he could speak, Su Changqing suddenly spoke out.

"Dad? You’re sick? Why didn’t you tell me? Elder Ye, what exactly is wrong with my father?"

Su Changqing, Su Fu’s son, among those present, reacted most intensely upon learning about Su Fu’s health condition.

They had only recently met, which left Su Changqing largely unaware of his father’s health, hence the current scene.

"It’s nothing serious, it only started a couple of days ago, and you’ve been busy with Light Blue affairs, so I didn’t want to distract you. Don’t worry, it’ll get better."

Su Fu tried to offer reassurance.

However, his reassurance clearly lacked conviction, and everyone turned their gazes to Ye Cang.

Ye Cang sighed again and said, "Originally, I noticed that Mr. Su’s Qi-Blood was deficient and his complexion was pallid, leading me to believe it was just a chronic heart condition, which with my medical skills, I could manage and help him recover."

"However, during Mr. Su’s recent visit to Dragon Sleep Mountain, after a thorough examination, I discovered that he had long been suffering from overexertion. He has atrial fibrillation and arrhythmia, and is now critically ill..."

Heart disease!

At this revelation, everyone was taken aback, as it was hard to believe that Su Fu was suffering from such a disease, a condition difficult to treat even with modern medicine.

"It’s okay, I actually feel quite alright, it’s nothing serious. Besides, with Elder Ye here, what illness can’t be cured? There’s no need for worry."

Su Fu waved his hand at everyone, signaling that he was fine.

However, his demeanor did little to convince the others. Su Changqing looked even more anxious and guilty, no longer maintaining his usual poised appearance.

His heart was the most troubled, after all, it was his father, how could he possibly not be worried?

"Ah, actually, with Mr. Su’s condition, if he had regular check-ups and maintained his health properly, he wouldn’t be like this now..."

Ye Cang shook his head with a sigh.

Su Fu gave a bitter smile, "It’s also my fault, I have been so busy usually that I neglected these aspects, and now... Let’s forget it, let’s start the meeting quickly."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, then at Ye Cang, before asking, "Elder Ye, is there any way to treat him?"

Ye Cang fell silent for a moment, then said, "There would have been a way, but unfortunately, now that Mr. Su’s body is exhausted, otherwise, in combination with the unique Five Lotus Powder from Dragon Sleep Mountain, it would still be possible to prolong his life and even a complete cure is not impossible. But... considering Mr. Su’s current condition... the Five Lotus Powder is probably also powerless..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman also roughly understood his meaning, which boiled down to two problems: the body being too weak and the medicine not strong enough.

Thinking this, an idea suddenly occurred to him; these two issues should not be difficult for him to handle, should they?

The problem of body exhaustion could potentially be addressed with Four-leaf Flower and Baozi.

As for the issue of insufficient medicinal power, that was even easier to resolve. He possessed the Morning Star Passive, which not only doubled the effect when he used items himself but likewise, the recovery effects he applied to others were also doubled.

If he were to feed Su Fu the Four-leaf Flower, it should be able to exhibit double the effect. This way, there might really be a chance to cure Su Fu’s illness.

"Hmm... I understand Su Fu’s situation now. Here’s what we’ll do, after this meeting, I’ll come and try, see if I can find a way to treat him."

Zhang Xiaoman did not speak too definitively, as these were just his speculations after all, and he couldn’t guarantee whether they would be successful.

Even so, the others present all breathed a sigh of relief, reacting to the news.

That’s right, we are the Star Alliance, and he is the Star Lord, those diseases that seem untreatable to ordinary people should not defeat him!

Ye Cang and the Su father and son also snapped back to reality, excitedly showing expressions of joy, especially the latter two, who couldn’t help trembling, as who would choose to die if they could live.

Finally, the issue was temporarily concluded with repeated thanks from the Su father and son, and the meeting officially began.

Actually, calling it a meeting was also somewhat informal; it mainly involved Zhang Xiaoman setting a direction for the future development of the Star Alliance, and some tasks were also assigned for them to complete, while also assessing the recent improvement in strength of several Awakeners.

In the grand and ancient hall, under the light of the Inheritance Fire, a crowd gathered in a circle with Zhang Xiaoman standing at one end near the wall, holding everyone’s gaze, and began assigning tasks to everyone.

"Elder Ye, your next task is still to construct the Dragon Sleep Mountain division, just as usual."

Ye Cang nodded in agreement.

"I understand."

"Xiao Shun, I also have an important task for you, which is to quickly establish our internal healing institution within the Star Alliance. The Alien Species are starting to increase, and injuries are inevitable in battle. We need an efficient healing team to ensure the safety of all personnel."

"Sure, leave it to me!"

Xiao Shun patted his chest in assurance.

"Lord Bear, next I hope you can formulate a training plan to cultivate the physical fitness of combat personnel and improve overall strength. This is very important, so please complete it as soon as possible."

"As you wish."

"..."

Finally, Zhang Xiaoman turned his gaze towards Brother Hero.

"Brother Hero, you also have a task. Su Fu now needs physical conditioning, so the matter of collaborating on Crystal Gel will temporarily be entrusted to you to complete. This is your specialty after all; don’t disappoint me."

Brother Hero also grew serious and nodded:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
