Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1821 - 1822: I, Ye, Will Not Shirk My Duty!
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Baili Xiao didn’t feel that he was undermining his elder brother at all and spoke with conviction, "My big brother always wears this gloomy face, like the whole world owes him something. Even his little brother like me finds it annoying. If he becomes the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, wouldn’t the entire martial world become introverted?"
Baili Ku’s mouth twitched, and he had a dark expression.
Second brother, don’t spill the brutal truth like that, I have my pride too!
Ye Xuan felt embarrassed and could only look at Gu Qiaolan.
"Xuan’er, don’t say anything." But before Ye Xuan could speak, Gu Qiaolan interrupted, "Madam Shi is just a woman, and besides, Brother Hao and Brother Baili are both stronger than me. If I were to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, no one would be convinced."
Ye Xuan: "..."
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Yitian skeptically.
Qin Yitian gritted her teeth, always watching Ye Xuan with a look of hatred. When she saw Ye Xuan’s gaze, she spoke out angrily, "I’m not young anymore, I’m looking for someone I love, don’t try to dump this responsibility on me!"
Ye Xuan widened his eyes.
Damn it...
For a moment, Ye Xuan felt regret and pain.
When others succeed in accomplishing great things, they celebrate lavishly, taking their wives or young sisters-in-law for a holiday, traveling the world.
And him? He did nothing but get addicted to practicing the sword!
Oh no, it’s sword.
If he hadn’t practiced the sword, he might be playing in the snow at the North Pole or drifting at sea by now, in any case in a place where these old folks couldn’t find him.
By the time he returned home after having fun, half a year would have passed, and the martial world would have collapsed on its own. By then, Hao Datong and others wouldn’t be thinking of finding him, right?
Unfortunately, there are no ’ifs’!
Now, these old folks had found him, and Ye Xuan couldn’t just pack up and run away, could he? If he pissed off that old Hao Datong so much that he died on the spot, wouldn’t that be a crime?
So, it was frustrating.
Their enthusiasm was hard to refuse!
Judging by these old folks’ demeanor, it was clear that if Ye Xuan didn’t agree, they wouldn’t leave. What could he do?
Accept? He didn’t want to.
Not accept? He couldn’t.
Pretend to accept temporarily and trick them into leaving? They’d come back again.
This life was getting unbearable...
The situation became quite tense.
The atmosphere stayed silent for a while, then Hao Datong clasped his hands again and spoke solemnly, "If it’s just about energy and time, Brother Ye Xuan, you needn’t worry. Although we may not have the demeanor of an Alliance Hierarch, we’re not foolish. By then, you just need to bear the title of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch to intimidate the martial world. We can handle the routine matters for you."
The implication was clear, Ye Xuan could become a hands-off leader, barely bearing a title, wielding absolute power without having to perform duties and responsibilities.
A tremendously good deal.
Ye Xuan was a bit tempted, but on second thought, he was a person who craved low-profile; how could he really have no issues if he became the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?
Ye Xuan frowned without responding, he wasn’t a man who easily succumbed, he wanted to hold on a bit longer, what if these old folks suddenly gave up?
Gu Qiaolan glanced at Ye Xuan with a maternal smile, "Xuan’er, actually being the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch isn’t bad, high and mighty, unmatched, it’s practically a throne tailored for you.
Of course, Madam Shi knows you’re not someone who craves vanity, but this world can be so shallow at times. You may not care, but others do, just like... your favorite beauties."
Ye Xuan’s eyebrows flew up, Madam Shi, since when did you understand me?
Seeing Ye Xuan’s subtle expression, Gu Qiaolan gained more confidence and continued sweet-talking, "A woman’s nature is to desire powerful men, to love noble status. The status of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch can definitely attract numerous beauties to you.
Not to mention the mortal world, just talking about the martial arts world, Madam Shi can guarantee that once you sit on the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch position, there will be at least hundreds to thousands of martial arts beauties crazily pursuing you. By then, if you like someone, you can accept them; if you don’t like them, no one can force you. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?"
It’s hard to imagine that these words came from a woman.
Madam Shi, oh Madam Shi, it’s such a pity you didn’t become a man and romance the world with such thinking!
Ye Xuan was more intrigued because he had already imagined a scene where hundreds and thousands of beauties in the martial arts world were chasing after him. Such a scene, how grand, how much face it would save for a man?
The frank Baili Xiao laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, yes, Master Gu is absolutely right. And Brother Ye Xuan might not know, the martial arts world isn’t like the mortal world. The Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch has supreme authority within the martial arts. To put it plainly, even if no one pursues you, whoever you fancy must take good care of you, like an ancient emperor, not much different!"
"Holy crap!"
Ye Xuan exclaimed in shock, getting excited.
This authority, he really liked it.
Whoever he liked would be his, with no room for refusal. Such power, which man in the world could resist?
Qin Yitian, watching Ye Xuan’s reaction, felt genuine disdain, "Pervert!"
Qin Yitian, having grown up in the martial arts world, felt that men having multiple wives was quite normal. But Ye Xuan’s reaction upon hearing about beauties still made her feel rather sleazy.
Please, if you’re a pervert, don’t make it so obvious, okay?
Really, she couldn’t understand what Shuang’er was thinking. Why did she suspect that Shuang’er had feelings for Ye Xuan? With such a pervert, could Qin Yitian abandon her fated lover and fall for him?
The crowd seemed to have found the right way to handle Ye Xuan, immediately everyone started talking, every word relating to beauties.
Even the usually grim Baili Ku nostalgically said, "Kongshan Sect, though a small sect, its Sect Leader’s daughter, Miss Shu, is a rare beauty in the mortal world, eighteen years old, well-learned and sensible, still unmarried, and has had no male friends..."
Before Baili Ku could finish.
Ye Xuan waved his hand with an exceptionally solemn expression and said in a firm voice, "Dear elders, no need to say any more!"
Everyone was startled and quieted down, casting puzzled glances at Ye Xuan.
Could it be that even this wouldn’t work?
Under many eyes observing.
Ye Xuan sighed deeply, face full of righteousness, "As a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect, I’ve always been a part of the martial arts world. Now that the martial arts world is in trouble, it’s the responsibility of every citizen. I’m not skilled, but I’ve been fortunate to help some of you elders with your injuries, so I can’t really sit back and do nothing. This is not about beauties, but rather, Ye Xuan cannot stand idly by!"
Hao Datong and the others looked at each other in amazement, speechless.
Ye Xuan stood up, took a deep breath, and declared heroically, "If I do not enter hell, who will? The martial arts realm is the culmination of thousands of years of hard work by many sects, it cannot go a day without a leader. Since there is no suitable candidate, Ye Xuan shall not shy away!"
