Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2493: What’s So Difficult About That?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
At the Xu Family’s main hall, Xu Yuanba looked at Xu Wenrui before him, his expression full of joy.
"Wenrui, your delivery of the Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice was truly timely. If you were even a day or two late, the old patriarch would have..."
"Has the old patriarch’s injuries worsened?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenrui’s brow furrowed sharply.
"Yes, and this time it’s very serious!"
Xu Yuanba suddenly sighed: "The old patriarch said that if there isn’t enough Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice, his days are numbered!"
Evidently, Xu Wenrui’s status in the Xu Family was not low, so Xu Yuanba did not hide anything from him.
"That damned Temple, if they hadn’t been obstructing us in every way, preventing us from obtaining enough Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice, how would the old patriarch’s injuries have deteriorated to such an extent!" Xu Wenrui cursed angrily.
Hearing the words "Temple," Xu Yuanba’s brows also furrowed deeply.
"It seems the Temple has already discovered something, knowing that the old patriarch’s time is near, so their obstruction has intensified. Once the old patriarch’s time has come, I’m afraid our Xu Family will follow in the footsteps of the Dou and Fan Families."
Xu Yuanba’s voice revealed helplessness.
For thousands of years, the strength of the Xu Family has been gradually declining, and no capable strong family members have risen. If not for the old patriarch’s support, it would have been devoured by the Temple long ago, without a trace remaining.
Now even the old patriarch can hardly hold on, the future fate of the Xu Family is foreseeable.
"What should we do now? We can’t just sit idly by and watch the Temple’s conspiracy come to fruition!" Xu Wenrui was somewhat anxious.
"There is no better option right now, you should hurry and try to acquire more Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice. If the old patriarch can hold on a bit longer, our Xu Family can breathe a little longer!" Xu Yuanba sighed.
"Go again..."
Xu Wenrui’s brow furrowed sharply, he said: "But Uncle, the Twin Moon Secret Realm is about to open..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanba’s face sank, and he spoke earnestly: "Wenrui, it’s not that I don’t want you to enter the Twin Moon Secret Realm. Your cultivation is still low, going in now is really too dangerous, Uncle is also thinking for your own good!"
"But this Twin Moon Secret Realm only opens once every hundred years. If I miss this time, I have to wait another hundred years!" Xu Wenrui was somewhat unwilling.
"Waiting a hundred years is better than going in and risking your life now, isn’t it?"
Before Xu Yuanba could respond, a mocking voice came from the doorway: "Wenrui, cousin, it’s not that I as your cousin look down on you, but with your current strength, going in will only drag everyone down, and possibly get everyone killed because of you!"
"I..."
Xu Wenrui suddenly clenched his fist tightly, but he had no way to refute.
He knew that his cousin Xu Xiuyuan deliberately did not want him to seize such an opportunity to greatly increase his strength.
However, the other party spoke with reason, leaving him no room for rebuttal.
If his father were still alive, he might be able to secure a special chance, but now, it was clearly impossible.
The fallen tree disperses the monkeys, now he has no qualification to enjoy any privileges except to accept his fate obediently.
"Wenrui, you better check on Sanhu’s injuries first. Once healed, you must hurry to find the Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice; this cannot be delayed!" Xu Yuanba commanded again.
Xu Wenrui clenched his fists to the point of making crackling sounds, yet he was helpless and obediently exited the main hall.
"Hmph, really think you’re still the third young master of the Xu Family!"
After Xu Wenrui left, Xu Xiuyuan directly let out a scornful voice.
"Alright, no matter what, he’s still your cousin. I won’t let him threaten your position, but you can’t drive him to destruction either!" Xu Yuanba reprimanded.
Xu Xiuyuan replied as if he understood, but it was clear that he did not take the words to heart.
Their topic didn’t linger on Xu Wenrui much longer either.
"Father, what do you plan to do after the old patriarch dies? Are you really going to join those Half-Mountain Residence folks in the foolish act of opposing the Temple?" Xu Xiuyuan asked with furrowed brow.
"What can I do? I can’t just foolishly wait for death, can I?" Xu Yuanba said irritably.
"Why not bow to the Temple and let them spare our Xu Family? The Gong Family did just that and now they’re living quite comfortably!" Xu Xiuyuan nonchalantly remarked.
"Nonsense, that’s outrageous!"
Xu Yuanba roared angrily: "Our Xu Family is one of the seven major families, how can we easily bow down to anyone?"
"Come now, who even knows who the seven major families are nowadays? In the eyes of the world, there is only the Temple as the sole power. Even if we concede, no one will mock us!" Xu Xiuyuan remarked indifferently.
"Even if the world thinks that way, we Xu Family members cannot act like that. No matter the time, dignity cannot be lost!" Xu Yuanba declared righteously.
"But the Gong Family did just that, and no one says they have no dignity!"
"You know nothing!"
Xu Yuanba said angrily: "The current Gong Family is just a dog fed by the Temple, eating only what the Temple leaves. Once one of the seven major families, now they don’t even have a few God Lord Realm experts, can’t you see the truth?"
Xu Xiuyuan had nothing to say this time.
The Gong Family indeed had fallen to an extreme point, and this he cannot deny.
"But what can we do by not bowing down? Can we really fight against the Temple with just those few stray dogs from Half-Mountain Residence?" Xu Xiuyuan said with a bitter face.
"The people from Half-Mountain Residence may indeed be stray dogs, but they retrieved the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images. If they summon back their ancestors, it won’t guarantee defeating the Temple, but there’s definitely no doubt they can stand on par with the Temple!"
"Is that really possible?" Xu Xiuyuan evidently did not think it likely.
...
"What’s wrong, the Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice didn’t work?"
Waiting beside the gigantic White Tiger statue, Ye Haochuan saw Xu Wenrui returning despondently, and couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
"It’s not the issue of the Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice, it’s..."
Xu Wenrui looked downcast, listlessly saying: "People leave and things cool, I shouldn’t have expected to gain anything."
"What exactly happened, just say it!" Ye Haochuan said speechlessly.
Xu Wenrui hesitated for a while and finally couldn’t hold back telling Ye Haochuan about the Twin Moon Secret Realm.
After finishing, he did not forget to add: "Actually, what they said is also right, I would hinder their progress. With my current status, I am not worth them risking such a danger."
"So, you just plan to give up like this?" Ye Haochuan asked with furrowed brow.
"What can I do without giving up? Unless I advance to the Void God Late Stage, they won’t allow me into the Twin Moon Secret Realm!" Xu Wenrui sighed.
"Then just put in the effort, and reach the Void God Late Stage, isn’t it?" Ye Haochuan replied indifferently.
"It’s not that simple! After reaching the Void God Realm, every step is tough. Do you know what kind of fortuitous encounter I had to advance to the Void God Mid-Stage?"
Xu Wenrui said irritably: "Now there’s only half a month left until the Twin Moon Secret Realm opens, do you really think I can advance to the Void God Late Stage?"
"What’s so hard about that? As long as you believe in me, I guarantee you can reach the Void God Late Stage in half a month."
Ye Haochuan said mysteriously.
