Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1530: Life Is Like a Play, All Depends on Acting Skills

Ye Xuan was on the verge of achieving nationwide notoriety once more.

However, such an outcome was never to be.

Those who bore witness to the spectacle unfolding before them found themselves paralyzed with fear, their faces ashen, with the solitary exception of Luo Qing.

Truly, was this man out of his mind?

Lin Tong’s brow knitted into a deep frown, and she directed a cold, stern glare at Ye Xuan, commanding, "Ye Xuan, desist this instant!"

"I shall not!" Ye Xuan declared with unyielding resolve. "My decision is final; any who dare impede me will face my wrath!"

Bang!

Another brick met its demise under the impact of Ye Xuan’s head.

A palpable tremor ran through everyone present.

Liu Ying, her voice laced with panic, pleaded, "Ye Xuan, have you taken leave of your senses? Simply because you were denied entry this time does not mean the doors are forever closed. Must you resort to such drastic measures?"

"What is there to lament in life? What is there to suffer in death?" Ye Xuan queried, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Bang!

Yet another brick was reduced to fragments.

Even the little Yun Duo began to weep, her voice choked with tears, "Daddy, please don't do this, you're bleeding!"

"Men bleed, they do not cry; I am guilty, and my life is forfeit!" Ye Xuan sighed, his tone heavy with self-recrimination.

Bang!

Another brick splintered.

Confronted by such a desperate Ye Xuan, everyone present was gripped by profound anxiety. They yearned to intervene but hesitated, uncertain of the right approach. Each time they moved to act, Ye Xuan’s pace would accelerate, his blows to his own head becoming even more ferocious.

How could they possibly dare to approach him?

Lin Tong, her eyes wide with alarm, turned to Qiuyue, urgently inquiring, "Qiuyue, what is transpiring here?"

"Madam, I am as clueless as you are!" Qiuyue replied with a hint of distress. "My intention was merely to come and prepare breakfast as I have done before. However, upon seeing Mr. Ye seated by the door, I inquired about his well-being. It was then that Mr. Ye instructed me to procure a quantity of bricks. Initially, I presumed your family intended some construction, so I purchased them from a nearby site. The moment the delivery arrived, Mr. Ye began this… ordeal. The workers fled in terror, and I was left utterly bewildered; I have no understanding as to why Mr. Ye is behaving in this manner!"

As she recounted the events, Qiuyue felt a shiver of fear. She pondered how such a handsome young man could act with such extreme desperation.

If anyone could endure the 'Iron Head Skill' at a whim, who would be responsible for the aftermath?

Qiuyue vowed that should Mr. Ye survive this day, she would never again assist him in purchasing anything; the experience was simply too terrifying!

Lin Tong and the others were rendered momentarily speechless by Qiuyue’s explanation.

The entire situation seemed utterly bewildering, did it not?

Bang!

The now-familiar sound of shattering brick jolted everyone back to the present reality.

Ye Xuan struck his chest and stomped his feet, a mournful cry escaping his lips, "I detest myself! Why must I be this kind of person? Why have I failed my wife? My life is truly worthless!"

Bang bang bang!

The gruesome spectacle, enough to make anyone’s eyelids twitch involuntarily, was on display once more.

Lin Tong watched, dumbfounded. "Simply because you harbor guilt, you resort to this?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Xuan countered, his gaze flicking towards Lin Tong, etched with grief. "Do I not deserve to die? Do I truly possess any right to continue drawing breath?"

Bang bang bang!

The solid, unyielding bricks proved no match whatsoever for Ye Xuan’s forehead.

Liu Ying, unable to bear witnessing the scene any longer, quickly turned to Lin Tong and suggested, "Xiao Tong, perhaps… perhaps I could reside elsewhere for the time being? Finding a new place should not pose too significant a challenge."

"There is no need," Lin Tong replied, her refusal immediate and firm.

To have Liu Ying move out at this juncture would only cast Lin Tong in a petty light. Moreover, the outside world presented its own dangers.

With a silent sigh, Lin Tong relented, saying, "Alright, alright. Cease this self-recrimination. I understand the burdens you carry; I harbor no true blame. Please, just stop this."

Bang bang bang!

Ye Xuan’s actions served as his immediate response to Lin Tong’s words.

He then confessed with palpable self-loathing, "Wife, you are exceedingly understanding. Naturally, I know you do not truly blame me, but I blame myself!"

Bang bang bang!

The tempo of Ye Xuan’s self-inflicted blows quickened with every passing moment.

His demeanor suggested a desperate urge to physically beat himself into oblivion.

Witnessing this agonizing display, Lin Tong's heart was utterly shattered. The sight of the gruesome wound marring Ye Xuan’s forehead felt like a knife twisting relentlessly within her chest.

Each rotation felt like her heart was being torn asunder.

Lin Tong, why? Why must you be so reckless once again? With matters having reached this critical point, why persist in your willful refusal to allow Ye Xuan back, thereby burdening him with such profound guilt and regret?

You always knew, deep down, that this predicament was not his desired outcome.

His entanglements with others, his growing affections for Su Yumo, his forging of bonds with Liu Ying – were these not, at their core, a consequence of your own shortcomings as a wife?

The fault, entirely yours, how could you subject him to such agonizing torment?

Lin Tong was consumed by guilt and shame.

Suppressing her tears, she gazed at Ye Xuan with profound heartache and implored, "Husband, I beg you, cease this. Please, stop inflicting such pain upon yourself. This is not your fault; it is entirely mine. If you must strike something, strike me instead, but do not harm yourself, please?"

"No, no, no, dear wife, this is entirely my fault, and it has absolutely nothing to do with you!" Ye Xuan frantically shook his head. "You are my everything, my very soul. If you were to commit the most heinous sin, I still wouldn't bear to inflict the slightest harm upon you!"

Lin Tong collapsed onto the ground, her tears cascading down like a torrential rain.

Bang bang bang!

Ye Xuan proceeded to shatter another ten or so bricks in rapid succession.

The sharp, astonishing cracking sounds pierced Lin Tong's ears once more, akin to the thunderous beat of a war drum, and the pulverized bricks seemed to strike directly at her heart.

Following this relentless barrage, the wound on Ye Xuan's forehead grew increasingly alarming. His once luminous eyes appeared hazy and frail, his body unsteady, as if he were on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Xuan continued to weakly reach for more bricks, his voice a low murmur, "I am a sinner. I have failed my wife, I have failed Liu Ying, I have failed Zhiya, I have failed Jingjing. I deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

Lin Tong was tremendously shocked and quickly rushed to his side, embracing him tightly.

Ye Xuan appeared exceedingly weak, his attempts to break free from Lin Tong's warm and soft embrace proving futile several times.

Ye Xuan declared with feigned resolve, "Wife, please let me go. Allow me to perish. I am too ashamed to face you, truly too ashamed to continue living!"

Lin Tong wept bitterly, "Husband, I implore you, please stop! Do not torture yourself like this any longer. My heart aches so profoundly, it truly aches unbearably..."

A secret smile played on Ye Xuan's lips.

Xiao Zhiqing, you are truly a genius!

To be completely honest, at this juncture in the unfolding drama, Ye Xuan ought to have gracefully concluded his act.

Lin Tong's guilt was now fully ignited. At this very moment, Ye Xuan merely needed to reluctantly nod his assent, and Lin Tong would joyfully embrace him and escort him back inside.

Not only would he be spared the ordeal of remaining at the doorstep for an entire day and night, but Lin Tong would also fully accept these other women, potentially holding no further resentment towards him.

However, Ye Xuan was an inherently greedy individual.

To stop while one is ahead?

That was simply not in his nature!

Life is akin to a grand theatrical performance; if one is to act a part, one must commit to seeing it through to the very end!

Therefore, Ye Xuan swiftly suppressed the hint of a cunning smile that had surfaced on his lips. Disregarding Lin Tong's tearful cries and desperate pleas, he closed his eyes, his face etched with an expression of profound sorrow.
