"My apologies, Mr. Chen and Miss Zhou. My sister has been upset about our father's sickness and therefore is a little edgy. please forgive him."

Zhu Yuntao apologized.

Zhou Jin Yi was touched by his fumble words, and even Chen Fan nodded in approval. Such was the right attitude of an heir from a powerful family. Only those who lacked forbearance and abilities would act disdainfully and presumptuously.

"What kind of ailment does your father have? Why do you have to look for medicine here?" Chen Fan asked.

At Chen Fan's level, if he was not interested in a matter, he would never speak a single word. The fact that he asked the man a question meant that he was open to help him out. If Zhu Yuntao knew Chen Fan's power, he might be ecstatic by now. Zhu Yuntao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not an ailment; it's some kind of unknown poison. The Daoist Elder Xian from the Purple-Gold Daoist Temple is our family friend, and he suspected that our father had been cursed by a spell from the Miao's Land or worse, it could be a Magus Poison. Due to its otherworldly nature, he suggested us to look for help at the Medicine God Valley Sect."

"It is poison then." Zhou Jin Yi nodded.

No wonder that girl was so cautious. Her father was not poisoned by any ordinary venom, it sounded more like a curse spell or some kind of Magus Poison. It was obvious that someone wanted to harm their father, and her caution was justified.

"I wonder where Mr. Chen and Miss Zhou come from? And what brings you two to the Medicine God Valley Sect?" Zhu Yuntao suddenly asked with a more serious tone.

"I am from Chu Zhou City and as for my reason to visit Medicine God Valley Sect..." Chen Fan kept his silence and didn't say more. Zhu Yuntao noticed Chen Fan's reluctance and therefore decided to leave it at that. He asked again: "Chu Zhou City? The same Chu Zhou City from Jiang Nan Province? I know a guy called Boss Yan from there; he owns a textile company."

"Fatty Yan." Chen Fan nodded.

"That's right, that is the same Boss Yan. So you are indeed from the Chu Zhou City." Zhu Yuntao heaved a sigh.

Fatty Yan was a reputable businessman in Chu Zhou City, but rarely anyone outside of Chu Zhou City knew his name. The fact that Chen Fan could blurt out his nickname meant that he was really from Chu Zhou City. Fortunately, the Zhu family had only allies, but no rivals in Chu Zhou City.

Zhu Yuntao put on an even warmer smile after he had cleared up the suspicions.

He was a well educated young man with great attention to detail and had a greater sense of humor. Even Chen Fan felt relaxed enough to chime in on the conversation. However, his sister still crossed her arms over her chest and was sullen and quiet. Although she didn't speak a word, the sharpness in her gaze was hard to miss.

"They are brother and sister. One is candid and gentle; the other was disdainful and arrogant. They must have had very different upbringings." Chen Fan lamented.

Zhu Yuntao was brought up as the heir of the family; his eloquent and articulated words, as well as his breadth of knowledge, were impressive even among the elites.

No family heirs Chen Fan had met on his second life, such as Li Yichen or Chu Minhui would compare to the dashing young man in front of him. Even in his distant memory, only Shen Junwen could have rivaled his overall competency.

His sister Zhu Ruohan was above average looks. Her white Channel dress complemented the meticulous makeup on her face. Although she was brought up in the same family, neither her wits nor personality even came close to her brother. Chen Fan reckoned that the Zhu family didn't put too much attention on the girl's upbringing and their only hope for her was to form an alliance with another powerful family using her marriage.
