Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1812

Fade's curiosity towards the valley sparked as soon as he heard what they said. At the same time, he thought about the news of the Nine-star Root. Perhaps it could be in the valley as well. As he thought about this, he couldn't help but glance over to the entrance.

The wall of the entrance that was made of stones and wood wasn't really tall. Additionally, the surrounding mountains were not as steep either; the lowest point was probably around ten meters. With this in mind, he couldn't help but ask, "These walls aren't very tall and it seems that everyone here is a practitioner of the martial arts. It probably wouldn't be a hassle to enter right?" Upon hearing this, the expression on everyone's face changed. Then, they began to speak in a lower voice.

"Brother, don't say such things. Do you want to get into trouble?"

"It was fortunate that you only said this to us. The others wouldn't be as kind to you if they heard about this," someone explained.

"Do you think no one has tried this before? There was this incident where someone had forcefully entered. However, he was beaten up and escorted out," a third commented.

"I've also heard that there's a master as well with some sort of Dharma- raja mastery rank! He's extremely powerful."

"A Dharma- raja?" Fade was confused again as soon as he heard their explanation.

One of them promptly explained and said, "This is how the local Zambustans classify the different rankings of monks. From the lowest to the highest, there are Datsan, Tsochin, Normanhan, and Hotogtu." "What is all this about?" Someone asked as they stood by the side.

The person then continued to explain, "These are titles. You can think of it as something similar to military titles and ranks. Anyways, the Dharmaraja's rank is called Normanhan, while Hotogtu's is called Tulku. Each monastery rank is worshipped and enshrined. This could be counted as the highest rank that ever existed." "Of course, there is also the legendary Tulku, a superior ranking to Hotogtu, being the Dalailama and Panchenlama, with Dalai and Panchen in short. However, these are just merely legends with Tulku being just a title of a rank. Hence, it's said that Hotogtu is the highest existing ranking." "The Dharma- raja Normanhan is the second, existing to the Tulku as well as the Hotogtu. With this being said, how could we afford to offend such a powerful person!" He concluded.

Upon hearing this, Fade couldn't help but nod his head as he remembered the rankings and titles.

Soon after, he moved to other places and wandered around as he gathered more information. There were generally not many new findings. However, one thing was for sure, and that was that there were definitely medical herbs in the valley and a Dharma- raja ranked master.

Just as he was figuring out a method to enter the valley, a loud noise suddenly rang throughout the air.

He immediately turned his head towards the noise and saw crowds of people moving out the way for a group of monks in red clothing as they carried a sedan chair. Surrounding the sedan chair were monks playing different kinds of instruments. It wasn't exciting at all.

Sitting on top of the Sedan chair was a young bald man dressed in monk's clothing.

The man seemed arrogant and haughty with a face full of self- pride. He scanned the crowd below him with a condescending look, all without an ounce of how a monk should act.

Looking at how people were reacting, Fade couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. "Who is that? Why is he so famous?" He asked.

Someone whispered to him and said, "That man is Lobsang Jii, a native. His father is a prestigious Tsochin which is only a rank below Dharma-raja."

"That's why Lobsang is such an arrogant person. He's been here several times. He even previously had a few conflicts with others. There was once a wealthy man who refused to obey his commands. They eventually fought and even got his people beaten up."

"However, he's a tyrant as he immediately called upon his men to beat up the wealthy man. The man's leg was broken and he got kicked out. As such, no one dares to provoke him at all."

Fade eyebrows knitted together upon hearing the story. "He's a native with power and would probably already have an entry pass to enter the valley. Why would he come here?" He asked. The crowd immediately sighed. "Of course he has an entry pass. However, he wouldn't enter as he wants to stay outside and find pleasure," the crowd explained.

"To find pleasure?" Fade's face was full of doubts.

The onlookers replied, "You'll know it when you see it."

Soon after, amidst the crowded area, the sedan chair was placed down, and Lobsang descended from it. He seized up the crowds of people with an arrogant face. "I wasn't present for a couple of days and there are plenty of new faces I see. Introduce yourselves!" He demanded.

As soon as Lobsang finished his sentence, his subordinates walked towards the new faces with a large golden bowl.

"Newcomers, a hundred thousand yuan for donations to the temple." He was immediately asking for money! What an arrogant move indeed.

This behaviour immediately caused an uproar from some people in the crowd. "What's the reason behind this? Why should we give you money?" The crowd roared.

"Why?" Lobsang's face darkened. His subordinates behind him immediately began to gather with a fierce and fiendish look.

Bystanders immediately explained to the wealthy man about the situation. Upon listening to their explanation, the man's face sank as he promptly brought out a hundred thousand yuan.

As Lobsang saw this incident, his lips curled up into a chilling smile. He looked at the man and spoke in a cold voice, "You dare question me? A hundred thousand yuan is not enough. Add another hundred thousand yuan!"

"You..." The rich man couldn't help but wish to speak up. However, his mouth was tightly shut and proceeded to give another hundred thousand yuan.

Just like that, Lobsang's subordinates collected money from everyone. In an instant, he collected more than a million yuan.

The people there were probably from wealthy families as well, hence losing a few hundred thousand yuan probably didn't matter. They were usually respected individuals in their own town along with the ones wearing silk and carried arrogant looks. However, the tables were flipped and they're the ones being pushed around here. They couldn't help but feel sullen. As they thought about the medical herbs, they had no other choice but to swallow their anger and humiliation.

Apart from collecting money, Lobsang was purely unoccupied. Upon seeing beautiful women, he would personally go up and seduce them and even directly get handsy with them. The crowd was immediately filled with screams as the people's eyes popped out upon seeing the scenes unfold.

In the end, no one stood up against them.

At that moment, Lobsang's subordinates came up to Fade. They turned to him and patted the bowl with an obvious reason for collecting money.

He didn't buy into his trick and directly ignored their actions.

"Hand in the money, a hundred thousand yuan!" The subordinate's eyebrows were pinched together as they yelled even more.

Fade snorted and said, "I don't have money. I wouldn't give it to you even if I had it."

"You..." The subordinate's face showed immense anger and was getting ready to take action.

Some bystanders lightly pulled Fade's arms and said in a whisper.

"Brother, don't provoke them. This can't be helped. Just hand them the money," they advised. "Yes. It's only a hundred thousand yuan. It's not a lot, so just pay up," another commented. "Brother, if you're short on cash, I can always lend some of it to you now," a third whispered.

Fade shook his head and politely declined their generous offers. He turned back and spoke in a cold tone, "I'll say this one more time. You can't make me pay up."
