Chapter 556: The Ke Family Patriarch is on the verge of death
"..."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The secret guards looked at the flattering face of their eldest master.
Very unfamiliar.
Even more unfamiliar are the words “kneeling to greet.”
Who is worthy of Master Ke kneeling down to greet him?
Even in the Ke family elders' hall, Ke Xingyan only needed to nod and greet.
This is the confidence of a chosen one!
Everyone unconsciously shifted their gaze to Jiang Nan.
Ji Hu's gaze was exactly the same, but there was a hint of clear confusion in his pupils.
"Boss Jiang, do you know this person?"
Before Jiang Nan could say anything, the leader of the secret guards ran up to him and said, "Young Master."
Ke Xingyan nodded.
Ji Hu's mind was full of strange questions. He pointed at Ke Xingyan, then at Jiang Nan, took a deep breath, and said, "Is this your master?"
He wanted to say something else, but after holding it in for a long time, he could only say, "Your sect is quite anti-Tian Gang."
Jiang Nan tilted his head slightly, looking at Ke Xingyan with his distinct black and white eyes, and said in a soft and slow voice, "Master, long time no see."
The word "Master" almost frightened Ke Xingyan to his knees.
"Speak properly and don't talk nonsense!" Ke Xingyan's jaw was clenched and he spoke righteously, and the stiff expression on his face twitched slightly.
Jiang Nan nodded, his pupils dark and deep, "Okay."
"Why did you suddenly come to the God-killing Continent? And you have the Five Elements Power..." Ke Xingyan asked questions one after another, with a deep confusion in his eyes. "Let's find a place to talk."
Ke Xingyan took Jiang Nan away.
He paused for a moment, turned around, and told the secret guard: "Mr. Ji, please go to the reception room to rest first."

inside the room.
As soon as Ke Xingyan closed the door, he spoke anxiously: "Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming? If I hadn't heard your name, the B-level secret guards would have been dispatched."
Jiang Nan pinched his fingers and said in a stern voice, "B-level dark guard?"
Considering that Jiang Nan had just arrived at the God-Slaying Continent, he probably didn’t know much about the supernatural powers of the God-Slaying Continent.
I just picked out the key points and repeated them.
Jiang Nan turned his gaze to Ke Xingyan, "So what level are you at?"
Ke Xingyan raised his head, with pride written all over his face, and said slowly: "A."
Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow.
Ke Xingyan added: "However, A-level is unstable. My father does not have superpowers, but my mother does. Although I inherited my mother's talent, it is not stable."
Jiang Nan: "I see."
Ke Xingyan frowned, "So why are you here this time?"
Jiang Nan responded: "I came to see you."
Ke Xingyan pointed at himself and said, "Looking for me?"
Jiang Nan's lips curled up, looking cool and handsome, and he spoke softly and slowly: "Well, I want to ask you to help find a few people."
Ke Xingyan stretched his legs, his eyes were dark, as if he could see through her at once, "Are you asking me for help, or do you want to ask the Ke family for help."
No matter how capable he is, he is still under the protection of the Ke family.
The Ke family is a centuries-old family with rich heritage.
Jiang Nan pursed his lips, his eyes didn't change at all, "Master, you are quite smart."
Ke Xingyan: “…”
It really feels like hearing Jiang Nan call me "Master" can shorten my life.
He still has a lot to adapt to.

Presbytery.
The elders just looked at Ke Xingyan expressionlessly, busying themselves serving tea and water to Jiang Nan.
"Xingyan, is this your apprentice?" Ke Peng asked this incredible question.
Ke Xingyan nodded sincerely, "This time, I have something else to trouble you elders for."
The second elder frowned, "What's the matter?"
Ke Xingyan looked at Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan bowed and said politely, "I would like to ask the Ke family to use their connections to help me find a few people."
"Looking for someone?" The second elder laughed when he heard it, and said in a calm voice, "We in the Ke family don't have this ability."
With so many C-level secret guards injured, the Ke family suffered heavy losses.
It’s a joke to ask the Ke family for help in finding someone.
Ke Xingyan couldn't help but shout out, "Second Elder."
The second elder waved his hand, stopped listening, and slowly said, "Send the guest away."
Almost as soon as the second elder finished speaking, the housekeeper's anxious footsteps were heard, and at the same time, a panicked voice sounded, "Oh no, the master's condition has worsened."
The elders stood up.
Even Ke Xingyan, who was always calm, couldn't help but get impatient. "It was getting better, why did it suddenly get worse?"
The housekeeper shook his head repeatedly, his face flushed with anxiety, "I don't know, go and have a look."

The main courtyard of the house.
It was as bright as day at this moment and was full of people.
As soon as you enter, you can smell the strong aroma of medicine.
Jiang Nan put one hand in his pocket, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the tip of his nose moved slightly.
Jiao Sanxian, Qiancengzhi, Liuyisan...
It seems that the medicine residue from the medical competition probably comes from here.
Ke Xingyan pushed open the door and several elders rushed in.
Ke Xingyan glanced at Jiang Nan, waved at her, and a rare begging expression appeared on his face.
Jiang Nan's eyes narrowed, and after hesitating for just a second, he stepped into the room.
Seeing this, the second elder frowned unhappily. The situation was urgent and there was no time to take care of Jiang Nan.
Standing there doesn't cause any trouble or get in the way.
Hospital bed.
The head of the Ke family, Ke Chengyun, was lying down.
The cheekbones are sunken, and the purple blood vessels in the skin can be seen a little, like the winding veins on the surface of a dead leaf.
When the second elder gently lifted the quilt.
The bony body suddenly caught the eye.
The joints are distinct and protruding.
The fingernails were a pale purple hue from lack of oxygen.
There is a smell of loneliness and decay everywhere.
Ke Xingyan's eyes suddenly turned red, "Grandpa."
As if he heard Ke Xingyan's voice, Ke Chengyun actually opened his eyes, his cloudy eyeballs covered with a layer of dust.
The monitor sounded a shrill alarm.
Ke Chengyun raised his hand, then dropped it weakly.
Ke Xingyan hurried forward and held it.
Ke Chengyun coughed intermittently and said slowly: "I have held on for so long... It's time... It's over... Don't be sad..."
The second elder said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't say anything for now. There must be a way. Prepare for surgery! Prepare for surgery!"
Someone immediately went over to prepare a sterile operating room.
Jiang Nan stood by the door, looking at Ke Chengyun lying on the bed with cold eyes, and then looked at the second elder: "Now his blood vessels are as fragile as paper. If he has surgery, he will die on the operating table."
The sound appeared abruptly.
Everyone looked over.
The Second Elder saw Jiang Nan's face, frowned slightly, spoke in a serious tone, but his hands began to tremble, "If you don't have surgery, you will die. There is still hope with surgery, there is still hope!"
He had no way to refute Jiang Nan.
For so many years, Ke Chengyun has been kept alive with drugs, but today it has reached its limit.
Jiang Nan took a few steps forward, stopped, and said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, the head of the Ke family should have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and coronary heart disease."
The second elder was stunned and opened his mouth: "You...how do you know?"
I can tell at a glance.
Jiang Nan: "The smell of medicine, and the facial and physical features of the head of the Ke family."
Ke Xingyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took a deep breath, "Jiang Nan, do you have any idea?"
