Chapter 596 Xie Zhuolian
Chapter 596 Xie Zhuolian
Water Dragon and Fire Dragon are not unreasonable people.
It is fair enough that since Gao Ge has made a good point, they must listen to him.
They cannot force him to make contributions to the people in Qiu City, can they?
Neither can they make him sacrifice his life.
It is kind of him to do the favor but he is not obliged to.
In fact, Gao Ge feels rather frustrated now.
He thought that he would find Meng Jing’s whereabouts as long as he started to investigate into the plague in Qiu City, but by far, he hasn’t acquired any clue.
In the following two days, with the help of Doudou, the people of the Dragon Court have started to offer treatment for those infected by the ghost worms.
Who can have imagined that Doudou would become the savior of the people in Qiu City?
However, there is still one problem.
The plague can’t be radically cured even with the help of Doudou unless the matrix of the ghost worms is removed.
Hence, Fire Dragon and Water Dragon who have seen through the problem ask Gao Ge to assist them.
Metaphorically, if someone gets shot, Doudou will take out the bullet for him while Gao Ge will suture the wound.
It is not a complicated thing for Gao Ge, but it does take him a lot of power of stars. Now he focuses more on Meng Jing. On this issue, the people of the Dragon Court won’t be of big help to him, or they won’t hide the truth from him. If he really finds the whereabouts of Meng Jing in Qiu City and yet, there happens to be a serious problem with his power of stars, will he really have to watch the clues slip away right in front of him?
Even at the thought of it, he feels extremely upset.
Of course he won’t allow such a thing to happen.
Gao Ge has no problem with saving those on the verge of death. If he can save a life without causing too much damage to himself, he doesn’t have a reason to decline.
With the help of Doudou, those victims infected by the ghost worms have gradually recovered.
Gao Ge has offered help several times.
At the very beginning, every person of the Dragon Court is spirited and feels that the victory of the battle is around the corner.
However, very soon they realize that it is not the case.
Although the ghost worms can be got rid of, they reproduce at an awfully fast speed.
Just a few days after that, quite some ordinary patients are sent over again.
It also gradually dejects the members of the Dragon Court.
Gao Ge is rather calm.
It is not that he doesn’t care but that what is happening now is within his expectation.
He has told Water Dragon and Fire Dragon before that he and Doudou can be of help, but it is a palliative only instead of a radical solution. The priority is to find the matrix of the ghost worms as soon as possible when he and Doudou can still be of help.
Meanwhile, plenty of members of the Dragon Court in the Central Huaxia have also arrived in a hurry.
At the moment, perhaps the members of the Dragon Court in Qiu City outnumber those in any other region of Huaxia.
Gao Ge has also met Earth Dragon.
Earth Dragon is the person-in-charge of the Central Huaxia branch of the Dragon Court. Theoretically, Shu Province should be within the jurisdiction of the Central Huaxia branch. However, Earth Dragon is the only person-in-charge of the Central Huaxia branch while the East Huaxia branch is overseen by Water Dragon and Fire Dragon and Tang Jiusi is a member of the East Huaxia branch. Therefore, Shu Province is within the jurisdiction of the East Huaxia branch. There is no power struggle involved. In fact, Earth Dragon, Water Dragon and Fire Dragon all wish that the workload could be lightened.
Upon seeing Gao Ge, Earth Dragon gives him a big hug.
“Good for you. I didn’t know you should have the nerve to quit the Dragon Court!”
Despite that, Earth Dragon doesn’t look disgruntled about Gao Ge at all.
It is fair to say that Earth Dragon should be the one who supports Gao Ge most in the Dragon Court.
It is simply because his arm regrew thanks to Gao Ge.
One must be grateful.
“Lord Earth Dragon, how come you are here too?” Gao Ge says with a grin. He is somewhat surprised.
“Hey. No need to call me Lord Earth Dragon. It’s too distant. We are friends, aren’t we?” Earth Dragon says grumpily.
Gao Ge thinks about it and says, “I can’t address you as Earth Dragon. If I call you Brother Dragon, there are plenty of people whose names contain Dragon. Who knows who I am addressing exactly? Do you want me to call you Brother Earth?”
Earth Dragon holds back his emotion for quite a while and then pats Gao Ge’s shoulders, “Call me Lord Earth Dragon then.”
Gao Ge is amused.
Fire Dragon and Water also simmer with laughter. The two of them just make a couple of funny fellows!
“Oh right, you haven’t told me why you are here,” Gao Ge says grinningly.
Earth Dragon coughs. knitting his brows, he paces around with his hands on his back. Then with a sigh, he stares at Fire Dragon and Water Dragon, saying, “These two persons haven’t done their work well, so the Dragon Court has no other choice but to send over their ace card–me.”
Water Dragon is speechless.
So is Fire Dragon.
Gao Ge, too.
After Earth Dragon finishes talking, to his surprise, he gains no reply at all, which makes him quite embarrassed.
“Ahem. Aren’t you going to say something?” Earth Dragon says in a low voice.
Water Dragon snorts, “I’ve nothing to say. If you want to court death, just do it.”
“Exactly.” Fire Dragon also nods his head.
Earth Dragon feels quite grieved.
Is the relationship among the management of the Dragon Court so tense?
They don’t show any respect for each other at all.
“Enough! What are you doing here?” Water Dragon says impatiently, “Stop putting on an act. Don’t you know that we are occupied?”
“I’m here to help you...” Earth Dragon says unhappily.
“To help us?” Water Dragon snaps, “We’ve got enough personnel here.”
Earth Dragon feels rather grieved.
That makes him sound like a useless man.
“In this case, I will go back then?” Earth Dragon says.
Fire Dragon asks sarcastically, “What are you waiting for? Are you laying eggs?”
Covering his chests with one hand, Earth Dragon looks hurt.
He snorts and says, “Fine! In this case, I will take Xie Zhuolian away!”
“Hold on!” Fire Dragon speaks hastily.
Now Earth Dragon has walked out.
Water Dragon grabs his arm and drags him back.
“By Xie Zhuolian, you mean the girl of the Xie Family?”
“Yeah, but you don’t need her anyway. I think I had better take her back,” Earth Dragon says with a sigh, “It’s fine you don’t treat me respectfully. We are colleagues and I don’t mind at all. However, Xie Zhuolian is not one of us so we can’t treat her poorly. Otherwise, how can I face the Xie Family?”
“Enough. You can leave now. Let Xie Zhuolian stay temporarily,” Water Dragon says.
She decides so neatly.
Earth Dragon is speechless.
Gao Ge is rather confused.
Xie Zhuolian from the Xie Family.
It seems that he has heard of the name before but...it is kind of a blur.
