Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1512: What Must Come Will Eventually Come

"Heaven decrees one's destiny." Li Xiyuan offered a faint smile, "Since we have arrived, let us embrace it."

"You are still young. Once you reach a certain age, experience more of the world, and broaden your understanding, you will come to realize that in this world, truly content individuals are merely the ordinary people," stated Old Li.

Li Xiyuan offered no further words.

A period of silence settled between the grandfather and granddaughter.

Old Li suddenly inquired, "Where is Ye Xuan?"

Li Xiyuan responded, "He is at a rather unremarkable hotel. Apparently... he was the subject of complaints all night long yesterday."

Old Li was taken aback by this news, then could not help but chuckle, "Ye Xuan certainly is a person of carefree disposition."

Li Xiyuan remained silent, a subtle blush coloring her pretty face.

Certain words are truly difficult to articulate. If a life of indulging in the pleasures between men and women daily constitutes being carefree, then she would never wish for such a state in her entire life.

Ye Xuan is indeed an unusual character; not long ago, he embarked on a violent rampage, and then he hurried back to his hotel to partake in such shameful activities, truly... a rogue, a complete scoundrel!

Old Li cast a glance at Li Xiyuan, appearing to perceive something. He contemplated for a moment before suddenly remarking, "Xiyuan, are you not getting on in years?"

Li Xiyuan smiled, "Grandfather, there isn't a woman in existence who willingly admits to aging."

Old Li chuckled, "You should find a partner and start a family."

Li Xiyuan shook her head, "There are simply too few honorable men, and even fewer who are truly capable."

Old Li asked, "What about Ye Xuan?"

Li Xiyuan was taken aback, "He has a wife, and not just one!"

Old Li laughed heartily, "Invite him to our home for a visit."

Li Xiyuan was even more astonished, "Grandfather, are you certain?"

Old Li replied, "What is there to be uncertain about?"

Li Xiyuan hesitated, "He has already incurred the profound animosity of Wang Liu, and the Zhao Family of the Martial Arts world certainly will not overlook him. At this juncture, if the Li Family extends an invitation, it would implicitly signal our alliance."

"What is the harm in showing our support?" Old Li narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "With this arrangement, how could the Li Family possibly end up losing?"

Li Xiyuan's pupils constricted slightly, her heart trembling.

Old Li was famed for his prudence, and for him to make such a decision now was, even for Li Xiyuan who knew him best, utterly unfathomable.

However, Li Xiyuan soon came to understand.

Indeed, this particular arrangement would not result in any losses for the Li Family.

To put it plainly, the Li Family had, in essence, already arrived at the precipice of a sheer drop, and at this moment, the sole individual capable of extricating them from their predicament was Ye Xuan!

Following the passing of a great turmoil.

"Liu Ying, from this moment forth, you and I shall be as one in this world. I shall permit no one to inflict the slightest harm upon you, and no one shall dare to do so,"

Ye Xuan spoke, smiling as he gently stroked Liu Ying's hair. His voice, though light, carried an undeniable weight of determination and certainty.

The atmosphere gradually returned to a state of tranquility.

Liu Ying gazed at Ye Xuan, appearing lost in thought, then offered a charming smile, "It all feels rather dreamlike."

"It is a beautiful dream," Ye Xuan chuckled softly.

"Indeed it is," Liu Ying affirmed with a nod, then continued, "However, you mentioned that from today onward, you and I are one entity, but there is a minor inaccuracy there."

"A minor inaccuracy?" Ye Xuan expressed surprise, "Pray tell, where?"

"Have we not already been united as one for some time now?"

"..."

Ye Xuan stood there, stunned for a considerable duration before comprehending her meaning. His eyes widened instantly, and he could not refrain from exclaiming, "Shameless woman!"

Liu Ying erupted into peals of laughter, her alluring demeanor capable of captivating all beings.

Ye Xuan's heart began to race uncontrollably. 'Enchantress, I implore you, cease your bewitching charms! I am still recovering from my injuries; I truly do not wish to embark on a second battle!'

Amidst their shared laughter, Liu Ying also let out a soft sigh, "But speaking of it, with the significant escalation of events this time, our future troubles are likely to multiply."

Ye Xuan nodded in agreement; this was a certainty, an inevitability.

Enemies remain enemies, ultimately.

If an individual intends to end your life, regardless of how humbly you behave, even if you were to prostrate yourself and beg for mercy, they would still be resolved to kill you.

The only variable is the matter of time.

Undeniably, Ye Xuan's intervention at the wedding ceremony has propelled all matters to a fever pitch. It would not be long before the Wang Family, the Liu Family, and even the Zhao Family from the Martial Arts world would launch a frenzied retaliatory assault against him.

One crisis will inevitably follow another.

"What is destined to transpire will occur regardless," Ye Xuan responded with an indifferent smile, "Matters that must be confronted need not be overthought."

Liu Ying nodded, then inquired, "When shall we be returning to East Sea?"

"In a couple of days."

Considering the heavy snowfall, Ye Xuan mused that the flight delays would make their return troublesome. Moreover, unfinished matters remained. He voiced this thought, prompting Liu Ying to freeze momentarily. "Are you referring to the Li Family?" she inquired.

Ye Xuan nodded, his expression serious. "They must make a choice now."

This presented a very practical consideration. Certain objectives, like toppling the Wang Family or even the Zhao Family, could not be achieved by one person alone. Unless Ye Xuan possessed the might of a descending Heavenly God, he would still require assistance from allies.

The Li Family emerged as an excellent prospective ally. This prominent and influential family, in terms of both reputation and resources, was not significantly inferior to the Wang Family. Should the conflict escalate to the capital's arena, the Li Family would undoubtedly play a vital role.

Furthermore, the Li Family was currently entangled in numerous predicaments of their own, making them in need of allies as well.

Since the annihilation of the East Sea Song Family, Ye Xuan’s attention had shifted to the Zhao Family within the Martial Arts world. This marked his secondary objective upon returning to Yan Country.

The period of quietude had not stemmed from a leisurely life in East Sea, but rather from Ye Xuan’s need to grasp the prevailing situation and meticulously categorize all the major powers at play.

His current focus was an in-depth understanding of the Li Family.

Seventeen years prior, the Martial Arts world experienced profound upheaval. Zhao Xunjian, after meticulous long-term planning, made a sudden ascent, forcefully claiming the title of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. This ignited the most significant period of bloodshed in centuries.

The landscape of the Martial Arts world underwent dramatic transformations.

As the saying goes, a new ruler brings new officials; the nature of the leader dictates the character of the followers.

Within the Martial Arts domain, chivalry once thrived. All prominent, righteous factions had flourished under the patronage of the Ye Family.

Following the Zhao Family's rise to power, the Martial Arts world descended into obscurity. The once loyal orthodox factions associated with the Qin Family faced severe oppression, and numerous forces have since been erased from historical records.

The former Divine Doctor Sect was one such casualty.

The Li Family maintained its ties to the renowned Heroic Mountain, a prominent sect in the Martial Arts world. Crucially, the sect leader of Heroic Mountain possessed supreme martial arts, making him an opponent Zhao Xunjian could not easily overcome. This enabled Heroic Mountain to endure to the present day.

However, as time progressed, Heroic Mountain, once a staunch supporter of the Ye Family, began a steady decline. Given the changing circumstances, should they fail to act decisively, their ultimate fate would inevitably mirror that of the Divine Doctor Sect.

At that juncture, the Li Family would lose their protective sanctuary and face inevitable annihilation.

Bound by common fate, the Li Family’s decision was inextricably linked to Heroic Mountain’s standing within the Martial Arts world.

Ye Xuan was presently awaiting their verdict.
