Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1595: Such Deep Father-Daughter Affection

"Ye Xuan..." Chen Yue’s eyes were red, consumed by fury: "Ye Xuan!!"

"Master, please calm yourself!" the middle-aged man quickly implored, "I hope Master can consider the grand scheme and refrain from acting rashly. Our meticulously laid plan this time is foolproof. Ye Xuan is as good as doomed in tomorrow’s duel!"

Chen Yue closed his eyes once more, striving to rein in his turbulent emotions.

The aged can transform into fiends.

Within mere breaths, the savage anger that had contorted Chen Yue’s face significantly diminished. When his eyes reopened, the fiery rage was replaced by a chilling, sinister gaze.

As deadly as a serpent's venom!

"Ye Xuan, tomorrow on Canglang Island, I shall ensure you have no resting place!"

...

The night descended, tranquil as still water, soft and silent.

Ye Xuan reclined on a lounger on his home balcony, his eyelids partially closed, basking in the starlit sky with a sense of contentment. His thoughts drifted, punctuated by occasional, self-deprecating chuckles.

The path of life is arduous; it's a difficult burden to be a man!

Even after a full day had passed, reflecting on the night’s events still left Ye Xuan feeling he had fallen short of his male potential.

What a monumental opportunity it was! Truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance!

In that specific scenario, Ye Xuan was only a sliver of ill intent away from achieving something unprecedented in his life – engaging three exceptional beauties simultaneously, a feat most men would scarcely dare to contemplate.

Why did I elect to be virtuous, a hypocritical gentleman, when another path was available?

"If only I possessed the ability to reverse time..."

Ye Xuan pondered deeply, then shivered, realizing, "Even then, I wouldn’t have pursued three; two would have sufficed."

What a globally recognized absurdity!

Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying, they are both my women, after all. To occasionally engage in something considered improper, if they remained unaware, the worst outcome would be a beating or scolding – a price I am prepared to pay.

But who exactly IS Xiao Zhiqing?

If he had entangled himself with that demoness, Ye Xuan’s existence would likely have devolved into a perpetual nightmare, wouldn’t it?

Contemplating this, the torment weighing on Ye Xuan’s heart finally began to ease. He felt a sense of fortune that he had exercised restraint the previous night, otherwise, even settling for two would have courted the peril of insatiable greed.

If circumstances had escalated to engaging all three...

Good heavens, one might as well be dead!

Ye Xuan exhaled a profound sigh. All that remained was to offer a fervent prayer.

Swoosh!

Precisely as Ye Xuan was lost in contemplation, a sharp whistling sound, indicative of something slicing through the air, suddenly pierced the quiet.

Ye Xuan’s eyebrow arched. He deftly intercepted a four-cornered dart between his fingers, discovering a small note attached to it.

He cast his gaze into the distant darkness, then unfurled the note, revealing a line of elegant calligraphy.

"Outskirts of the Western city, to settle supremacy and decide fate—Chiba Sakurako!"

Observing the exquisite handwriting on the message, Ye Xuan experienced a moment of bewilderment. He then recalled that tomorrow was the designated day for the Sword God’s challenge.

With a helpless sigh, Ye Xuan shook his head repeatedly. "Such profound father-daughter affection."

After a brief pause for thought, Ye Xuan casually ripped the note to shreds, entirely unfazed, and resumed his enjoyment of the nighttime vista. He possessed no inclination for a duel with such a predetermined outcome.

However, at that precise moment.

Swoosh!

The wind’s disruptive noise resounded once more. Another four-cornered dart descended into Ye Xuan’s hand, this time accompanied by yet another small note.

Ye Xuan opened it to find the distinctive handwriting of Chiba Sakurako once again.

"If you do not appear, then I shall be compelled to intrude."

Ye Xuan was taken aback. Did this woman intend to bring a blade to his residence if he failed to appear at the city’s western outskirts that very night?

The netizens were indeed correct; women are indeed significant sources of trouble, like troublesome hooves!

Upon reading Chiba Sakurako’s second message, Ye Xuan’s anger ignited instantly.

A threat! This was an undisguised act of coercion!

As a man who cherishes his household, could Ye Xuan possibly permit Chiba Sakurako to storm his home for a duel? Should any damage occur within the premises, who would bear the cost of reparations?

Chiba Sakurako had escalated the situation to such a degree, clearly leaving Ye Xuan with no alternative.

Intriguingly, while others resort to intimidation for plunder and violation, Chiba Sakurako employed force to compel a duel against one who was evidently marching towards her own demise.

A tenacious hoof desires a long existence!

"Even an elder’s patience has its boundaries!"

Ye Xuan smirked. "Since you are determined to meet your end, do not fault me for showing no leniency!"

Ye Xuan resolved to accept the confrontation!

...

East Sea Western Suburbs, an area marked by profound desolation.

Although the remains of the martial artists who perished here throughout the previous night had been cleared, the residual stench of blood stubbornly lingered in the atmosphere.

In the depths of the night, the relentless chorus of insects contributed to an unnervingly sinister ambiance.

Chiba Sakurako, attired in traditional samurai garb with twin katanas secured at her waist, stood solitary upon this desolate terrain. Her arms were clasped behind her back, exuding an air of valiant grace, a striking contrast to her customary depiction as a demure lady in a kimono.

Chiba Sakurako's face remained devoid of emotion, yet her eyes, like brilliant stars, held an unshakeable resolve.

She maintained a profound silence.

Consequently, the surrounding atmosphere mirrored her quietude.

Amidst this stillness.

Ye Xuan's voice, tinged with resignation, broke the calm: "Your father and I are scheduled to duel tomorrow. You are putting your life on the line to aid him. While commendable courage, to be frank, your current cultivation is insufficient to even weary me, let alone inflict harm."

Chiba Sakurako lifted her gaze, observing the approaching figure of a man.

"How will I know if I don't try?" she retorted with cool composure.

Ye Xuan chuckled, a slight shake of his head accompanying the sound. "Some outcomes are predetermined, regardless of whether you attempt them or not."

"Even if the ultimate result is the same, the journey itself holds infinite potential," Chiba Sakurako stated stubbornly. "If fortune favors me, or if you falter even slightly, I might just manage to injure you tonight."

"You are aware that such a possibility is remote," Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

"Remote, perhaps, but not entirely impossible," Chiba Sakurako countered, her lips pressed into a thin line. She gazed intently at Ye Xuan before suddenly bowing. "Forgive me, but I cannot afford to lose my father, thus I must be unfair to you."

"You focus solely on keeping your father, but have you considered that if I were to retaliate tonight, your father might lose you instead?" Ye Xuan inquired, a smile playing on his lips.

"Life, such sorrow; death, such bitterness." Chiba Sakurako offered a tranquil smile. "My father will comprehend my motivations."

Ye Xuan opened his mouth, paused, and ultimately decided against further persuasion of the resolute woman.

A significant portion of women from the Northern Federation adhere to traditional values. The more traditional they are, the more unyielding they become. For a typical Northern Federation woman like Chiba Sakurako, once a decision is made, there is seldom any turning back.

After a brief silence, Ye Xuan let out a laugh, shaking his head. "It's possible I won't even proceed to Canglang Island for the fight tomorrow. Even if you manage to injure me tonight, it will ultimately make no difference."

Chiba Sakurako studied Ye Xuan for a prolonged moment. "You will go."

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "And why do you believe that?"
