Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1514: 1514: Visiting the Li Family

Li Xiyuan summoned two young ladies to attend to Liu Ying, after which she led Ye Xuan towards the residence of the elder Mr. Li.

As they ambled along side-by-side with no one else in earshot, the silence between them grew rather heavy.

Ye Xuan, finding silence uncomfortable outside of his time with his wife, decided to fill the void. "Li Xiyuan," he began, "we've known each other for some time now, and yet I still don't know your age?"

Li Xiyuan arched an eyebrow. "That's none of your concern."

"Indeed, it is not my business," Ye Xuan chuckled. "I was merely thinking, as the elder sister to my little brother, a bit of concern is fitting. As the saying goes, 'A woman of age should marry.' No matter how potent a woman may be, without a man's vital essence, she will surely wither quickly."

Li Xiyuan halted her stride, turning a frosty gaze upon Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan also stopped, a puzzled expression on his face. "What is it? Did I say something amiss? It is precisely because you lack a man's vital essence that you experience such irregularities at a tender age. If you had a man, this issue would simply not arise."

Li Xiyuan blinked in surprise, her pupils constricting slightly.

How could this fellow possibly know her secret?

A moment later, however, Li Xiyuan relaxed, almost forgetting that this man was, in fact, a Divine Doctor.

Despite her composure, anger simmered. Even if he were a Divine Doctor, should he be so meddlesome? Did her irregular cycle have anything to do with him? Did she appear eager to bear monkeys for his Qin family?

Li Xiyuan fervently wished she could personally eliminate Ye Xuan, this utter scoundrel.

Yet, Ye Xuan was far too formidable; she was powerless against him, especially considering he was a revered guest of the Li Family...

She would endure. She would persevere!

Biting her lip, Li Xiyuan opted to treat Ye Xuan as an invisible entity, completely ignoring him as she resumed her walk toward the elder Mr. Li's abode.

Ye Xuan merely touched his nose and followed, maintaining his silence this time.

Li Xiyuan secretly exhaled in relief; at long last, tranquility.

Just then.

Ye Xuan suddenly appeared to recall something and spoke up. "Ah, should you require treatment, do not hesitate to inform me. My proficiency in gynecology is also exceptionally high, and your privacy will be maintained with absolute confidentiality.

While the methods of treatment may necessitate a degree of closeness, rest assured, a doctor's heart is akin to that of a parent. I can vouch with your brother's integrity that I shall not take undue advantage of you."

Li Xiyuan's beautiful eyes widened and then flared with fury.

It was a moment of pure detonation.

Li Xiyuan would forever engrave the sensation of that instant in her memory.

At that point, a tingling sensation spread across her skin, raising goosebumps, her entire being vibrating as if a primal force within her yearned to erupt and unleash itself.

She felt an urge to kill.

The kind of killing where the blade enters clean and exits stained red.

Yet, she was restrained!

She would endure. She would persevere!

No more enduring!

Li Xiyuan resolved to strike back, not necessarily with the intent to end Ye Xuan, nor to inflict any harm upon him, but purely out of spite, to cause him a measure of discomfort.

Li Xiyuan never engaged in such pointless endeavors, but today, she vowed to make an exception.

Thus, she stopped once more, pivoted to face Ye Xuan, and let out a laugh laced with furious mockery.

Ye Xuan looked taken aback. "Do you require treatment?"

Li Xiyuan did not address his question, instead stating bluntly, "Are you attempting to seduce me?"

Li Xiyuan's intellect was remarkably sharp.

As she posed the question, she had already meticulously dissected every conceivable answer Ye Xuan might offer and prepared her retaliatory responses.

Should he honestly confess his desire.

Well, Li Xiyuan would retort, you may fantasize about it, but you will never achieve it in this lifetime.

How devastating? How piercingly hurtful?

Should Ye Xuan lie and deny his intentions.

That would be acceptable too. Li Xiyuan would then declare, it is best you do not desire it, for you possess neither the qualifications nor the hope.

Even more devastating, even more stinging.

This was practically a fatal question.

Little did she suspect, Ye Xuan never adhered to conventional logic.

After a brief pause of two seconds, Ye Xuan responded with utmost seriousness: "To be honest, the thought never crossed my mind until you suddenly asked..."

Ye Xuan's expression suddenly became dramatic. "Li Xiyuan, I regard you as a sibling; surely you do not harbor intentions to seduce me?"

Li Xiyuan's lovely eyes snapped open wide.

Siblings?

She wanted to seduce him?

Ye Xuan crossed his arms, his face etched with a mixture of caution and contemplation. "My wife was correct; one may know a person's face but not their heart. When men are out and about, they must guard their virtue, lest they fall prey to scheming women. Li Xiyuan, abandon your notions. It is utterly impossible between us!"

Good heavens, Ye Xuan, could you possibly possess less shame?

Li Xiyuan nearly collapsed on the spot.

She finally grasped that all her wit and stratagems were only effective against ordinary individuals. For an eccentric like Ye Xuan, her intellect and plans became mere tools of self-inflicted harm.

I yield.

Ye Xuan, I surrender to you!

"Hmph!"

At a loss for words, Li Xiyuan's fury intensified, but she could only clench her jaw and bear it. With a cold snort, she continued to walk forward.

What other choice did she have?

To launch another counterattack would only provoke Ye Xuan further, potentially leading to her demise!

The wise know their limits; attempting to fight an opponent they cannot defeat, stubbornly clinging to a futile struggle, only invites greater suffering and eventual collapse.

Therefore, Li Xiyuan gritted her teeth, her fists clenched, and silently guided Ye Xuan towards the residence of Elder Li.

Upon seeing Elder Li, Li Xiyuan felt a wave of relief wash over her.

It's finally over.

Though only a few hundred meters, the distance today felt like thousands of miles!

Li Xiyuan let out a silent breath and stepped forward, standing before Elder Li. "Grandpa, Ye Xuan has arrived," she announced.

"Hmm," Elder Li responded with a nod. He then looked at Ye Xuan, positioned behind Li Xiyuan, and offered a kind smile. "Young friend Ye Xuan, it has been some time."

"A mere few months hardly constitutes a long absence," Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

"Would you care to join this old man for a couple of cups of tea?" Elder Li chuckled.

"I am but a simple man, not particularly skilled in appreciating tea," Ye Xuan laughed. "However, if Elder Li extends the invitation, it is an honor I cannot refuse, and naturally, I will join you."

With his words, Ye Xuan didn't wait for a formal invitation and promptly sat down directly opposite Elder Li.

Li Xiyuan's brow furrowed slightly, finding Ye Xuan's demeanor somewhat lacking in politeness.

Observing this, Elder Li was instead quite pleased. "Haha, Young friend Ye Xuan, you are truly straightforward and unpretentious. Such a rare quality, truly rare!"

Li Xiyuan found herself speechless.

A subtle shift occurred in her beautiful eyes as Li Xiyuan addressed Elder Li. "Grandpa, I have some other matters to attend to. I shall take my leave now."

Li Xiyuan did not wish to linger another moment with Ye Xuan present.

"Hey, you can attend to your matters later," Elder Li waved dismissively. "It is a rare occasion to have young friend Ye Xuan here today. You are both of a similar age; sit down and share some tea together. Otherwise, if it were just this old man and Ye Xuan, he might feel somewhat uncomfortable."

"Indeed, yes! Elder Li speaks the truth!" Ye Xuan chimed in with a smile. "Your dear Xiyuan and I have quite a bit in common. We had a most enjoyable conversation on our way here just now!"
