Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1510: 1510: Ye Xuan Is Truly a Celestial Being
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Li Xiyuan hastened her steps towards Elder Li, her brow creased in a slight frown as she shot a cold glare at Li Tianhao. "Didn't I instruct you to look after Grandpa properly? Why is he still out here?"
Li Tianhao’s face fell. "Sister, I..."
Before he could finish, Elder Li cut in, "Xiyuan, how did the events of tonight unfold?"
"The Wang Family was hell-bent on killing Ye Xuan and even summoned Zhao Yunfei and his son from the Zhao Family. While I was present, I was utterly powerless and could do nothing to aid Ye Xuan," Li Xiyuan admitted with a sigh.
Li Tianhao’s expression turned stark. "Zhao Yunfei and his son? You can't be serious! The Wang Family will go to any lengths to deal with big brother!"
Elder Li’s brow also furrowed deeply. "Wang Shaoyang, that brat, is indeed both ruthless and decisive. To completely eliminate any future threats, he's willing to pay a steep price. If he eventually takes control of the Wang Family, he'll likely become even more ferocious and cruel."
Li Xiyuan nodded in fervent agreement; she had personally witnessed Wang Shaoyang's unscrupulous nature tonight, and a man like that would only grow more perilous.
Elder Li then inquired, "So... what was the final outcome?"
As this question was posed, the atmosphere grew heavy, and an palpable sense of dread settled upon both Li Tianhao and Elder Li.
They understood all too well the formidable reputation of Zhao Yunfei and his son.
A father-son pair notorious throughout the martial arts world; with both present, who in the mortal realm could possibly stand against them?
The elders of the Li family had braced themselves for the most dire possibilities.
Yet, Li Xiyuan declared, "They are all dead. The entire engagement banquet devolved into a brutal battlefield. Zhao Yunfei and his son were slain, Liu Haoyang met a sudden end, Wang Shaoyang died a miserable death, and over a hundred experts from the Wang Family were utterly annihilated."
"What?"
The Li family elders were struck with utter shock and disbelief.
While relief washed over them at this astonishing turn of events, they simultaneously struggled to comprehend its reality.
Li Xiyuan also shook her head, a helpless, bitter smile gracing her lips. "Even having witnessed it myself, it remains difficult to truly believe. Who could have ever imagined Ye Xuan's power to be so terrifying? He was like a demon god descended, and no one could match him."
Single-handedly, he had slaughtered them all!
The snow ceaselessly descended.
Within the modest courtyard of Elder Li’s residence, an immediate, deathly stillness descended, perfectly mirroring the snow-laden landscape.
The scene was truly astonishing.
Even Elder Li, a man who had weathered countless years, was rendered speechless by the news, unable to recover for a considerable time.
Ye Xuan, alone and invincible!
What manner of audacity was this?
What degree of terror did this represent?
"This young man is truly exceptional."
Emerging from his stupor after a long interval, Elder Li finally looked towards the heavens and let out a hearty laugh. "Ye Xuan is indeed extraordinary!"
Events of such magnitude invariably spread with astonishing speed.
Throughout the entirety of the night, Yanzi City was sent into a state of upheaval.
Hundreds of families, both prominent and humble, found themselves sleepless, consumed by shock and apprehension over the battle that had transpired at Nightingale Manor.
The Wang Family had seemingly committed their all, sparing no expense in their desperate attempt to eradicate Ye Xuan.
Yet, they had ultimately failed.
Ye Xuan, with unparalleled arrogance, had openly defied all worldly powers, transforming what was meant to be a grand engagement banquet into a desolate killing ground.
He had eliminated Wang Shaoyang and Liu Haoyang; was he not concerned about provoking a furious retaliation from the Wang and Liu Families?
He had slain Zhao Yunfei and his son; was he unconcerned about incurring the wrath of the martial arts world's Zhao Family, potentially unleashing endless formidable figures to hunt him down?
That was the Zhao Family, the supreme authority in the martial arts sphere!
Clearly, he harbored no fear.
He was a madman, and in this world, there likely existed no power or individual that he held in dread.
Wise individuals always prepare for unforeseen circumstances.
Ye Xuan's remarkable accomplishment prompted countless families to ponder: if the Wang and Liu Families had been replaced by their own, would Ye Xuan have dared to act with the same impunity?
The answer was a resounding affirmative.
Consequently,
One family head immediately issued a command: "Ensure everyone in the family memorizes Ye Xuan's face well. In the future, should you encounter him, maintain a safe distance. Do not seek his friendship, and under no circumstances become his enemy!"
Ye Xuan possessed immense talent, a true genius, wielding terrifying strength; such an individual absolutely must not be provoked.
However, he was now the mortal enemy of the Wang, Liu, and even the martial arts Zhao Families. Therefore, forging an alliance with him was equally ill-advised.
Observing from a cold, neutral stance, remaining on the fence, was undoubtedly the most prudent course of action.
Similar directives were issued across numerous other families.
Soon, this sensational news transcended the borders of Yanzi City, reaching the ears of influential forces from across the globe.
And then.
The entire world was thrown into a state of astonishment!
...
Three in the morning.
The wind howled fiercely, and the blizzards raged unabated.
An earth-shattering tremor swept through Yanzi City, yet Ye Xuan and Liu Ying, having departed from Nightingale Manor, appeared remarkably unfazed, proceeding directly towards a hotel.
This particular hotel was the very establishment where Ye Xuan had lodged the previous night.
It presented itself as a humble, non-star-rated establishment, seemingly belying the magnitude of Ye Xuan's recent actions that had sent ripples throughout Yanzi City.
Nevertheless, there was no alternative; Ye Xuan was reputed for his frugality.
To be more precise, his reputation leaned towards stinginess rather than mere frugality, as few could rival his indolence and aimlessness.
A conscientious individual, dedicated to managing his affairs prudently, Ye Xuan begrudged even the smallest expenditure, opting for this hotel even amidst a momentous endeavor.
Presently, Ye Xuan occupied a seat upon the sofa within the unpretentious confines of the room.
Liu Ying stood before him, her delicate hands clasped demurely in front of her abdomen, her head bowed slightly. Her expression conveyed a mixture of contrition and apprehension, reminiscent of a young girl bracing for chastisement after an transgression.
A stark transformation from her former seductive persona, she appeared entirely transformed.
Ye Xuan’s countenance was severe, his brows sharply furrowed, his gaze fixed upon Liu Ying with evident displeasure, much like an elder preparing to admonish a misbehaving child.
Pop!
Breaking the palpable silence, Ye Xuan ignited a cigarette.
Drawing a deep inhalation, Ye Xuan commenced his address: “Committing the transgression of making independent decisions without seeking my consent, thereby demeaning yourself through an arrangement to marry another, constitutes your first offense.”
Liu Ying's lip was bitten, her gaze remaining downcast, a flush coloring her cheeks in silent acknowledgment.
Ye Xuan continued: “Your second offense lies in your departure without a word, rendering me incapable of locating you and causing me to endure three hours and fifty-seven minutes of distress.”
Liu Ying’s head drooped further, her chin nearing the proximity of her collarbone.
Ye Xuan elaborated: “Furthermore, your third offense is the spectacle you orchestrated at the engagement banquet, issuing a public pronouncement expelling me and uttering words that exposed me to universal ridicule, thereby causing me to forfeit my dignity at that juncture.”
Liu Ying harbored a fervent desire to prostrate herself and offer an apology to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan exhaled a weighty sigh: “As a consequence of your initial ill-considered decision, I sustained a minor injury; this constitutes your fourth offense.”
Liu Ying felt a tearful response welling within her.
A subtle curve played upon Ye Xuan’s lips, a smile tinged with amusement: “Liu Ying, you possess a considerable audacity, accumulating such a multitude of wrongdoings simultaneously. Now, what is to be done? Shall I administer a physical reprimand, or a more severe one?”
Liu Ying responded with diminished vigor: “I acknowledge my errors and shall exercise greater caution henceforth.”
