Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1772 - 1773: Here to Court Death!
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
But.
What can be done?
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, "Beyond the clouds lies the sun; this banquet, as to what kind of people will attend, will naturally become apparent when night falls. If Luo Fuqing is the only one attending, it would be quite disappointing."
Liu Ying was stunned, then a smile of admiration appeared on her face, "Ye Xuan, do you know when I like you the most?"
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, "When I’m galloping on horseback?"
"That’s just one of them." Liu Ying giggled, raising her jade hand to gently stroke Ye Xuan’s face, speaking tenderly, "My favorite is the you who is like this, utterly self-confident."
Ye Xuan shrugged, lit a cigarette, feeling as lonely as the snow.
Liu Ying: "..."
This man, his arrogance disease is probably in its terminal stage.
...
Gold Luxury Hotel, extravagant and lavish, newly opened, has already become the most upscale hotel in Yanzi City.
Because, it’s a hotel owned by the Liu Family.
Having devoured the Wang Family, the Liu Family now supported by Qingcheng Mountain and the Zhao Family’s two big sects, can truly be called the absolute dominator in Yanzi City and throughout Yan Country.
Additionally, almost everyone is optimistic about the Liu Family’s future. Nowadays in Yanzi City, the Liu Family has almost become the anchor for various families; pandering to them is common practice, while those who do not have not been living well recently.
For instance, the Li Family.
The Li Family, rich in heritage, is an old clan, but under the pressure of the Liu Family, they have suffered massive losses recently.
Only because Elder Li hasn’t fallen and the Li Family’s heritage is barely sustaining them have they managed to stand firm, for now.
But many other forces unwilling to submit to the Liu Family haven’t been as stable; some have resisted stubbornly, some have utterly collapsed, and indeed, quite a few have perished.
Some say, the Liu Family has already established a new dynasty.
Some say, the Liu Family is on the path to establishing a dynasty, and the moment Ye Xuan falls will be when the Liu Family’s dynasty is fully established!
All offer their own opinions, yet none claim the Liu Family won’t last long...
Tonight, the Liu Family is hosting a banquet to welcome Qingcheng Mountain’s second Elder, Luo Fuqing!
At this Gold Luxury Hotel.
Thus, the Liu Family almost doesn’t need to send invitations, as key figures from the various major clans of Yanzi City have arrived uninvited.
Li Xiyuan has also come.
Because she knows, Ye Xuan will be there...
Liu Qiankun sits in the private room, hearing that almost all the notable figures have arrived onsite. A fervent smile spreads across his face.
He looks up, gazes at the skinny middle-aged man before him meditating with eyes closed, bends over, and bows: "Elder Luo, tonight this hotel has gathered almost all notable figures from the mortal world. If we were to slay Ye Xuan right under their noses, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for the Liu Family, promising a bright future!"
Luo Fuqing remained unmoved, appearing to be asleep.
Liu Qiankun hesitated momentarily, then plastered a smile: "Of course, the Liu Family is merely a dog of Qingcheng Mountain and the Zhao Family. If we rise, we surely won’t forget the martial arts’ favor!"
Only then did Luo Fuqing willingly open his eyes, glanced indifferently at Liu Qiankun, then nodded: "Rest assured."
Two simple words, yet filled with unwavering confidence.
Liu Qiankun felt some doubt in his heart, but thinking it over, decided not to say anything more.
He knows that Luo Fuqing is extremely unpredictable, and if he shows doubt at this moment, his head might roll off the next second.
But Ye Xuan... indeed makes one uneasy!
"No, he can’t win!" Liu Qiankun mutters to himself, "I’m not the only one with brains; Qingcheng Mountain and the Zhao Family also know his prowess, how could they underestimate him?"
With these thoughts, Liu Qiankun finally felt at ease.
"So, Elder Luo, please rest, and I’ll leave you be."
Liu Qiankun bows to Luo Fuqing, then retreats to exit the private room.
Luo Fuqing once again closes his eyes, and the entire room plunges into extreme silence.
About half an hour passed.
Luo Fuqing’s brow trembled slightly, suddenly opening his eyes, with cold malice gleaming in his sunken eyesockets: "Arrogant young brat, you really dare to come? Seeking death!"
The hall of Gold Luxury Hotel, resplendent!
The welcoming banquet for Luo Fuqing has some time before starting; yet the hall is already crowded.
To an outsider unfamiliar with such a scene, they might even mistake it for a market.
This is not surprising.
Before the martial arts, no matter how formidable a person in the mortal world might be, they are mere mortals; they almost worship martial arts practitioners as gods. Now that Qingcheng Mountain’s second elder makes a grand appearance, how dare they be late?
Bear in mind, the currently flourishing Liu Family is notorious for exacting revenge rigorously.
Representatives from Yanzi City’s various families gathered in one place, making the atmosphere unconsciously simmer with heat.
"What’s going on? In past years, during the new year, the martial arts would send only a random person to make superficial connections with the various families. Why is Elder Luo Fuqing personally attending this year? Has the Liu Family’s power become that terrifying?"
"Nowadays, the Liu Family is indeed stronger than the former Wang Family, yet before the martial arts, it remains but a speck of dust in the mortal world. Elder Luo’s abrupt attendance may imply ulterior motives."
"Ulterior motives? You mean... Ye Xuan?"
"Ye Xuan’s feud with the Liu Family seems deeper than the past Wang Family’s. With the martial arts conference impending, heralding a new era unknown to any, surely Ye Xuan must act against the Liu Family beforehand?"
"So, are you saying Ye Xuan will attend tonight?"
"News from the East Sea indicates Ye Xuan boarded the flight to Yanzi City this morning. By now, he should be in Yanzi City!"
"..."
Instantly, the scene’s atmosphere froze for a moment.
Many people’s faces changed in shock.
This evening, Ye Xuan will also show up!
What does this signify?
Throughout this period, whenever Ye Xuan visited Yanzi City, hasn’t he turned the whole city upside down? And whenever he appeared in major events, hasn’t he been egocentric and domineering?
Tonight, can it be an exception?
Absolutely not!
The hearts of the Liu Family-aligned conglomerates suddenly panicked; probably, Ye Xuan has done too many shocking things, subconsciously even inducing fear toward this young man.
Yet, it was only for a moment.
Soon, the crowd regained composure, "Ye Xuan is strong, but the Liu Family isn’t foolish. With Luo Fuqing present this time, they must be well-prepared. Even if Ye Xuan causes trouble, he will certainly end up suffering!"
Some astute individuals quietly speculated, "It’s quite possible other martial arts masters are present tonight besides Luo Fuqing!"
Thinking this, the crowd’s mood calmed again, and some even started to look forward to it.
For a while now, Ye Xuan had been a thorn in their side; if tonight the Liu Family could bring Ye Xuan to ruin, for them it would be a heaven-sent delight.
Come then, come.
Ye Xuan, come to meet your end!
