The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1202

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja feels uncomfortable when he is being sized by a young man. He did not know who this young man is, but from the way he looks, he could tell that he is someone with authority.

Amongst the group, Xin Ja could see the complicated expression of Commander Zhang.

"You are Xin Ja, am I correct?" the 4th prince asked with a playful smile.

Xin Ja looks at the people who are curiously looking at him.

Without a choice, Xin Ja could only nod his head in agreement. He then lifted his hand with a silver needle, then without using a mirror and activating his absolute sense, he pokes a few acupoints on his face.

His facial skin is slowly distorted and then a handsome young face appears in front of everyone.

They all look at each other with amazement as they now could see that familiar handsome face that they have just seen on the video recording.

"This is also a part of the acupuncture technique that you are teaching, am I right?" suddenly an old man steps forwards with an excited expression.

This old man might look simple, but Xin Ja could feel his true strength even though he is trying to conceal it.

"Yes, senior…" Xin Ja said while cupping his hand.

"Hahaha… Very good!… Very good!" the old man exclaimed.

He looks around and then showed a scowl when his eyes landed on Commander Zhang.

He did not say anything, but he sneered at him.

"A bastard pet…" he muttered in a low voice.

But how could any one of the people with the 4th prince not know what he means?

"Xin Ja… I am Han Bai… of the Han royal family. It is my honor to meet a young hero like yourself. You truly are a living legend…" the 4th prince said as he showed a satisfied smile.

"Take these people to the infirmary…" one of the officers with the 4th prince commanded.

"By the way, how long will these symptoms in their body last?" the old man suddenly asked.

"About 2 days… They will suffer, for two days. I… I can cure them, but… I will not do it. They should learn the consequences of their actions, I am sorry your majesty for being stubborn…" Xin Ja said while cupping his hand and bowing his head.

The 4th prince almost laughed upon seeing this.

He truly likes this young guy. He is very straightforward and does not fear intimidation.

"Do not worry too much… And who might this young lady be?" Han Bai asked as he shifted his attention to Qiang Yaoyao who is showing a dumbfounded expression on the side.

When she heard that she is being asked by the 4th prince. She suddenly panicked and quickly lowered herself not daring to look at the 4th prince.

She dare not show any disrespect as a proper young lady of the Qiang clan.

"This lowly subject is named, Qiang Yaoyao… from… from the Qiang clan." She said.

After her words, an officer suddenly gasps.

"Qiang clan? Qiang Yaoyao? You are that run-away princess of the Qiang clan? Hahaha…" the officer chuckled.

Suddenly the rest seem to have realized something and also chuckled.

"The capital was almost in turmoil because of you… young lady…" the old man said while shaking his head.

The old man is a medical master by the name of Feng Yuhan. He is known as Divine Doctor Feng and is the head of the royal physician department in the capital.

He visited this border place because he wanted to fully grasp the mystical technique that was introduced in the war by a young man.

Through his investigation, he has learned the mystical effect of the acupuncture technique and its great use for the advancement of medical techniques. It actually enhances the effect of the potions, plus it could do a lot of things in the body that most potions could not do.

And this is the reason why he is here.

Plus his other goal is to protect that prodigy that introduces such a technique.

He wanted to make sure that the young lad would not get hurt.

But upon seeing the ability of the young man, Feng Yuhan became at ease. He now knew why the military was having a hard time finding the youth.

He is not only an expert in medicine but also in disguising, and many more.

His sight then landed on the young lady behind him.

"Do they have a relation with each other? Hehe… If so, then that old man Qiang is truly a lucky bastard…" he thought.

"Alright, let's go back… I want to welcome this young friend… would you follow me?" the 4th prince asked showing a polite gesture.

Xin Ja almost fell on the ground upon seeing the prince using such polite words at him.

"My prince… please… I... I am but a humble subject. I dare not impose." He quickly said.

Although Xin Ja is indifferent to the power in the kingdom, he is not someone who is uninformed after all. He knew that the 4th prince belongs to a different faction than the 6th prince. So with the support of the 4th prince, his life, for now, would become easier.

Well, that is after the battle for the crown prince position is over.

Whoever wins the battle would surely have a great effect on him.

But for now… those who offer him first their olive branch is his friend.

…

The group then arrives in a large hall and a long table of dishes is presented.

Clink! Clink!

The 4th prince hits his goblet while looking at the people around him.

"Heroes on the battlefield! I salute each and every one of you. Although you all have your own differences, I hope that we can work together to end this war…" he said.

"Our team will now have another member. Well, that is if he wanted to join us…" he said as his gaze landed on Xin Ja.

Xin Ja suddenly froze on the spot. He could not help but give a wry smile. The 4th prince is too cunning… he actually invited him in front of these powerful figures, so how could he say no to this, right?

He could only nod his head in agreement.

"Haha… That's the spirit! Now, this is for our future and the future of our kingdom!" the 4th prince raised his goblet and drank from it.

Everyone followed suit.

Zhang Baguan could not help but heave a heavy sigh. But deep inside his heart, he is thankful. He will not have to obey the command from the 6th prince to hunt the young man anymore.

In fact, he could not deny that he is also impressed with the lad. Although he is annoyed at him, he actually did not look down on him.

He has already tested out his ability and could deduce that the young boy is very resourceful. He is patient and very amiable, but at the same time, ruthless and decisive.

"If only we can have him in our camp…" he thought.

"Well, the days are long… who knows what is installed in the future…"

After the dinner, the group then returns to their quarters and Xin Ja walks Qiang Yaoyao to hers.

"Thank you… thank you for helping me today… I get to meet the 4th prince…" Qiang Yaoyao said as if showing a love-struck expression.

"Hahaha… I noticed that you would always look at the prince… Don't worry, I will tell him…"

"No! No! What are you saying? I'm…" she suddenly panicked and pouted.

"Haha… Alright, alright, I will not tease you anymore… Friends?" Xin Ja said as he suddenly extended his hand.

Seeing his extended hand, a smile appears on Qiang Yaoyao's beautiful face.

"Friends…" she said as she shakes his hand.

"I permit you to call me Yaoyao… and I will call you… Little Ja. Hihi…" she said with a playful giggle.

"Okay… Good night, big sister Yaoyao…" Xin Ja waves his hand and returns to the hall.

…

Once inside, he was led to an office where there are a few people sitting on the couch. Most of them are high officers of the army.

"Xin Ja, I called you here because of two things…" the 4th prince said after Xin Ja got inside the room.

He stood in front of the people with ranks in the military and the environment inside the room is a bit stifling. The aura of these people along could already make his skin crawl in anxiety.

"The first one… is to promote you to a junior officer and take you to my camp." The 4th prince said.

"Receive your new orders…" the 4ht prince commanded.

"Army cadet Xin Ja receives his new orders…" Xin Ja replied.

Han Bai then shifted his gaze to a man standing on his side.

"This is General Fang Huyuen from the 5th fortress investigation unit…" he introduced.

"Ahem… Junior Officer Xin Ja… Do you recognize this?" General Fang said as he puts down on the black mahogany table a small metal piece.

Upon doing so, the eyes of everyone inside the room were all attracted to it.
