Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1520: 1520: A Joyful Funeral

The subsequent day witnessed a startling rumor swiftly permeate the Li Family estate. Ye Xuan’s reputation lay in ruins, while Liu Ying emerged as the sole victor in her life’s journey.

Could she not be deemed a victor in life?

The transgression was hers, yet Ye Xuan shouldered the accusation. Now, all within the Li Family regarded Ye Xuan with peculiar gazes, and Liu Ying with a spectrum of sympathy, as though being Ye Xuan’s consort was an undertaking of extraordinary difficulty.

Alas!

The path ahead is fraught with peril, and malevolent forces run rampant; truly, existence is far from simple!

While Ye Xuan’s public image underwent severe degradation, the Wang and Liu Families experienced a day of marked activity, as nearly all the influential figures and affluent individuals from Yan Country converged upon these two ancestral homes as esteemed guests.

The reason for this grand assembly was the commencement of a funeral.

A somber ceremony, where the elders paid their respects to the departed younger generation.

The significant stir generated by this funeral ceremony once again brought to the forefront the momentous events that had transpired at Nightingale Manor mere days prior.

For a brief interlude, the collective mood of the various prominent personas became rather introspective and complex.

Word had it that Ye Xuan had forged an alliance with the Li Family, and from this juncture onward, Ye Xuan would no longer stand isolated, with the heretofore superficial equilibrium between the two families and the Li Family irrevocably altered.

Conflict seemed an inescapable certainty!

However, the precise timing of this inevitable clash remained an enigma, and no one dared to delve too deeply into such a sensitive discussion.

After all, to engage in such discourse necessitated the declaration of allegiance. Presently, the Wang and Liu Families had recently endured significant setbacks, and the Li Family had maintained a conspicuously low profile throughout the preceding years. Thus, aligning with any faction appeared to be a conspicuously imprudent strategy.

Discerning individuals understood the wisdom of maintaining silence, and indeed, of remaining unseen, when the situation demanded it.

A gentle drizzle descended, precisely at the midday hour.

Various distinguished guests were on the verge of departing subsequent to extending their commiserations to the bereaved families.

Yet, at this precise juncture, a resplendent crimson sports car abruptly materialized at the threshold of the Liu Family’s estate, and from it alighted Ye Xuan and Liu Ying, both attired in striking scarlet ensembles, their hands bearing vibrant red blossoms.

Within the customs of Yan Country, the color red is intrinsically associated with celebratory occasions, and it is highly unusual for red hues to make an appearance at funerary rites.

When such a color does manifest, its implied significance becomes exceptionally clear.

Their arrival signaled an intention to instigate discord!

As the figures garbed in fiery red, Ye Xuan and Liu Ying, made their grand entrance, the atmosphere at the Liu Family’s funeral grounds was instantaneously imbued with an unsettling peculiarity.

An unnerving quietude descended, punctuated by an undercurrent of palpable animosity.

One after another, gazes converged upon the pair, each suffused with astonishment and bewilderment, as if disbelieving that Ye Xuan and Liu Ying would dare to present themselves at such a venue.

And more remarkably, in such a conspicuous fashion!

What precisely was their objective?

To provoke trouble, undoubtedly, was the unspoken conclusion.

Consequently, following a brief, charged silence, a young woman, her head adorned with a band of white fabric, strode with evident agitation towards the entrance of the Liu Family manor.

“Ye Xuan, Liu Ying, what brings you here? Your presence is entirely unwelcome!” the distraught young woman declared with vehemence.

Completely unfazed by the young woman’s vehement dismissal, Ye Xuan casually directed a glance in her direction before turning to Liu Ying, inquiring, “Xiao Ying, who might this individual be?”

“She is Liu Haoyang’s sister, Liu Yan,” Liu Ying provided the identification.

“Ah, so this is Liu Haoyang’s sister,” Ye Xuan acknowledged with a nod, then pivoted his focus back to Liu Yan, addressing her with a disarming smile, “Young lady, when guests arrive, they are typically received with hospitality. Your brother’s passing has brought profound sorrow to many, including myself and your cousin. Today marks your brother’s funeral rites, and we have taken this special occasion to offer our sincere condolences. How could you possibly refuse us entry?”

The assembled onlookers exchanged stunned glances upon hearing these words.

Such brazen effrontery and glib manipulation of language!

Offering condolences? Who would arrive in a crimson sports car, clad in vibrant red attire, and bearing red floral tributes to express sympathy for the departed?

This was beyond audacious!

Liu Yan’s countenance flushed with indignation, her finger trembling as she pointed accusingly at Ye Xuan, “You specious charlatan, the very reason my brother met such a fate is entirely attributable to the two of you. The debt of vengeance for my brother’s demise is beyond reconciliation. Do you truly believe you can gain entry into my Liu Family’s ancestral grounds? You harbor a fool’s hope!”

“Vengeance for a brother’s death?” Ye Xuan’s expression was a tableau of feigned bewilderment, “Are you implying that your brother was actually killed by us?”

Liu Yan scoffed, “Wasn’t he?”

“Certainly not!” Ye Xuan asserted with utmost earnestness, “On that fateful day at Nightingale Manor, all present bore witness to the events. Your brother, in his own actions, struck his head against a sharp pebble, resulting in a fatal injury. It was entirely unrelated to any involvement on our part!”

What?

The crowd murmured in shock.

This was an outrageous fabrication, was it not?

Liu Yan, consumed by fury, raised a quivering digit towards Ye Xuan, “You cunning miscreant, you are nothing but a sly scoundrel! You refuse to acknowledge your culpability; are you even a man?”

“Are you perhaps addressing me with insults?” Ye Xuan inquired, a chuckle escaping his lips.

“And what if I am indeed scolding you?” Liu Yan retorted hotly, “Hmph? You lack the courage to confess your despicable deeds, do you intend to inflict harm upon me as well? Do you dare?”

“As a paragon of youthful virtue, I would naturally never contemplate such a drastic action as taking a life,” Ye Xuan declared with a laugh, “However, my intentions in coming here were purely to extend condolences, and you respond with such hostility. It seems entirely justified to impart a lesson.”

With these pronouncements, Ye Xuan initiated his movement.

Smack!

With a sharp, resounding crack, Liu Yan found herself airborne before she could even process what happened, spinning uncontrollably through the air before crashing hard onto the ground. She instantly lost consciousness.

A hush fell over the surroundings, as if the entire world had fallen silent.

All eyes snapped back towards Ye Xuan, now filled with a mixture of shock, astonishment, and a subtle undercurrent of fear.

That was incredibly brutal!

To resort to immediate violence without any prior dispute, and against a woman at that… If they themselves had offended Ye Xuan, would they suffer a similar fate to Liu Yan?

This fellow is truly merciless!

Amidst the heavy silence.

Ye Xuan, however, maintained a composed demeanor, as if he had performed merely a trivial act. He leisurely lit a cigarette.

After taking a long drag, Ye Xuan shook his head and chuckled, “This world is so cold. I came here with good intentions to pay respects to the deceased, yet all I receive are frosty glances and outright rejection. The esteemed Liu Family of Yan Country, is this not excessively judgmental?”

The onlookers inwardly trembled.

He had killed the eldest young master of the Liu Family, struck the second young lady of the Liu Family, and now he was lecturing the Liu Family on being judgmental. Ye Xuan, you are truly audacious!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly, several sharp whistling sounds sliced through the air. Around six or seven experts from the Liu Family materialized at the manor’s entrance, forming a perimeter and effectively blocking Ye Xuan.

The atmosphere in the area instantly grew thick with tension.

Ye Xuan, nonetheless, narrowed his eyes, observing with interest the middle-aged man who was gradually emerging from the manor.

Though Ye Xuan had never laid eyes on this man before, he intuitively knew, without needing any explanation from Liu Ying, that this was Liu Haoyang’s father and the current head of the Liu Family, Liu Qiankun.

A ruthless individual, a man who would even scheme against his own brother for personal advancement.

Liu Qiankun strode directly out of the Liu Family manor, halting about ten meters away from Ye Xuan. He first cast a glance at the unconscious Liu Yan, then shifted his gaze to Ye Xuan.

Their eyes met, and the air crackled with tension.

In this moment, the silence was more potent than any words, pregnant with the potential for conflict!

After a brief pause.

Liu Qiankun closed his eyes for a moment, inhaling deeply, forcibly suppressing his surging anger as he finally spoke, “Ye Xuan, the situation has escalated to this point. What is it that you still desire?”
