Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1567: The Most Dangerous Figure

The following day dawned.

Before the first light touched the sky, Ye Xuan was already awake, descending the stairs to commence his routine morning exercises within the villa's courtyard.

The dim pre-dawn light cast deep, almost exaggerated, shadows beneath his eyes, a testament to his unusual vitality.

His slightly hollowed eyes, however, held a remarkable luster, and his entire being exuded an aura far beyond his years, a profound sense of depletion and exhaustion clinging to him.

It was clear he had exerted himself greatly throughout the previous night.

"It's all down to me; anyone else would have certainly perished by now, wouldn't they?"

Ye Xuan gazed upwards, a sudden, inexplicable melancholy washing over him.

His beautiful wife, insatiably greedy, had left him to bear such hardships alone!

The sheer intensity of her demands made mere supplements insufficient; only the practice of his Body Cultivation Technique offered a path to survival.

Once pursued for enhanced fitness and strength, the Body Cultivation Technique now served a singular, crucial purpose for Ye Xuan: sheer survival!

Taking a deliberate stride forward, his fists clenched.

Ye Xuan pushed himself, completing two rounds of his Body Cultivation Technique.

Instantly, a sense of relief filled his chest, his breathing grew steady, and his spirit felt revitalized. Even the dark circles and the pervasive weariness throughout his body seemed to vanish as if by magic.

Ye Xuan silently clicked his tongue, "The Body Cultivation Technique never disappoints!"

Wiping away the sweat, Ye Xuan turned and headed back towards the house.

As if on cue, both Leng Liuge and Liu Ying had also risen early and were seated on the sofa, engrossed in television.

Upon witnessing Ye Xuan's remarkably spirited condition, the two women exchanged looks of astonishment, hardly believing their eyes.

"No way? He recovered this quickly?"

"This is utterly unbelievable!"

"..."

Without a word exchanged, Leng Liuge and Liu Ying met each other's gaze, profound shock reflected in both their eyes.

They themselves had been utterly drained by the previous night's exertions and still felt the lingering fatigue, yet Ye Xuan appeared completely unfazed?

This was incredibly unfair; they too longed for a body as resilient as his!

"Hmph!"

Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the two women, Ye Xuan let out a satisfied snort and, with an air of nonchalance, proceeded upstairs without a word.

It was almost amusing; given Ye Xuan's astute perception, how could he not discern their coordinated effort to exhaust him the previous night?

Even with his eyes closed, Ye Xuan could surmise that their actions, partly genuine and partly a calculated ploy, were aimed at depleting him and consuming his time and energy.

This, he realized, was their strategy to keep him in check.

With him in such a weakened state, what opportunity would he have for further romantic entanglements? Perhaps when the matriarch, Lin Tong, learned of their subtle machinations, she would show her appreciation?

This was a clear case of strategic alliance against a common target, a united front of insurmountable power!

Yet, Ye Xuan's resilience proved unexpectedly formidable...

After Ye Xuan had departed, a long silence settled between Liu Ying and Leng Liuge.

Leng Liuge finally broke the quiet with a deep sigh, "I can't keep up. I gave my all last night, twice over, and it felt like I was risking my very life."

Liu Ying confessed her own sense of futility, "There’s always a higher mountain to climb. It seems futile to try and restrain Ye Xuan; we can only leave it to fate."

If this were to be viewed as a conflict.

Then, the hastily assembled 'girls' army' of Liu Ying and Leng Liuge had undoubtedly suffered a crushing, complete defeat at the hands of Ye Xuan.

...

Roughly an hour later, the entire family reconvened around the dining table.

Observing the visibly weakened states of Leng Liuge and Liu Ying, Lin Tong's cheeks flushed, her expression a complex mixture of emotions.

After a moment, Lin Tong let out a quiet sigh, resolving to maintain an innocent facade.

With a subtle shift of her gaze, Lin Tong addressed the table, breaking the silence: "News has just arrived from Yanzi City – the Liu Family has successfully absorbed the Wang Family. Henceforth, the Wang Family ceases to exist."

"What?"

This announcement clearly stunned Leng Liuge and Liu Ying.

"For so many years, the Liu Family consistently deferred to the Wang Family. Their sudden, decisive move is truly beyond anyone's expectations; this development is utterly astonishing."

Lin Tong gave a soft sigh, "For us, this is hardly good news. While the Wang Family is no more, the ascendant Liu Family has emerged as a far more formidable adversary than the Wang Family ever was."

"That old fox, Liu Qiankun, his ambition knows no bounds!" Liu Ying exclaimed with palpable anger, a venomous glint in her eyes.

The capabilities of Wang Qianjun were widely recognized throughout Yan Country. Even after suffering multiple defeats at Ye Xuan's hands, the Wang Family's strength was significantly diminished, yet Liu Qiankun's ability to absorb them seemed almost unbelievable.

After all, that was Wang Qianjun.

Across the entirety of Yan Country, how many individuals could truly stand against him?

Amidst it all, only Ye Xuan remained unfazed, continuing to savor his porridge as if no extraordinary events were unfolding around him.

Lin Tong cast a knowing glance toward Ye Xuan, inquiring, "Honey, what are your current thoughts?"

"Thoughts?"

Ye Xuan offered a faint smile. "What thoughts could I possibly have? I suppose I'll just let things take their course."

Observing Ye Xuan's composed demeanor, the surrounding beautiful ladies couldn't help but furrow their brows. In unison, they questioned, "What scheme are you concocting this time? Did you foresee this happening?"

The ability to predict the future indeed seemed beyond ordinary comprehension.

Yet, having witnessed numerous peculiar events, were Ye Xuan's displays of foresight truly that uncommon?

Since antiquity, how many genuinely formidable individuals would willingly remain subordinate to others? While it appeared on the surface that the Liu Family consistently relied on the Wang Family, this arrangement was likely predetermined from the very inception."

Lin Tong arched an eyebrow. "Are you suggesting... the Liu Family orchestrated this entire plan from the beginning?"

"Without a meticulously laid plan, how could the Wang Family have vanished so abruptly?" Ye Xuan chuckled.

"This..."

A shiver coursed through Lin Tong as she grasped the profound calculating nature of these outwardly righteous individuals, a realization that left her feeling cold.

"The entire world believed that over the last century, the most exceptionally talented member of the Liu Family was Xiao Ying's father. However, in this dog-eat-dog world, it was actually Liu Qiankun who was the most perilous figure all along," Ye Xuan remarked with a smile.

Liu Ying curled her lips in disdain. "That scoundrel Liu Qiankun, by expanding the Liu Family through the devouring of the Wang Family, it won't be long before he acts just as unscrupulously against us as the Wang Family once did."

"Precisely."

Ye Xuan lightly smiled. "But that situation is also acceptable. We have always been adversaries, after all. When the opportune moment arrives, past and present grievances will be settled in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the beautiful ladies present were utterly astonished.

Lin Tong regarded Ye Xuan with skepticism, posing the question, "Do you already have a counter-plan in motion?"

"Having anticipated the Liu Family's move to absorb the Wang Family, how could I possibly be without a strategy?" Ye Xuan laughed heartily. "Even before my return to the country, I dispatched Diana to Yanzi City to maintain surveillance. At the very instant the Wang Family met its downfall, Diana secured Wang Qianjun. Now, that old man is firmly within our grasp."

"Wang Qianjun is already in our possession?" Everyone present gasped in shock.
