Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1890 - 1891: Once I Set Foot in the East Sea, Your Death Is Near!
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Hidden Dragon, Qiao Family!
In the elegantly decorated study, two young men in ancient attire faced each other, the atmosphere was extremely tense, completely out of place with the study’s ambiance.
Qiao Yihang had not felt this angry for a long time.
The last time he was this angry was when he sparred with his elder brother in martial arts, and couldn’t even take one move from him; the pain of failure made him extremely angry.
And this time, it was because he had failed again.
Zhan Ying was dead.
The Zhan Ying in whom he had placed high hopes not only failed to bring back the Northwest treasure along with Ye Xuan’s head, but instead, remained forever at the Snow Mountain Summit!
What does this signify?
It’s one thing to draw water with a sieve and come up empty, but losing a trusted lieutenant is a failure that is unacceptable!
This is even more of a failure than losing one move to his elder brother!
"Who?"
In the extreme silence, Qiao Yihang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, finally asking in a dull voice, "Who killed Zhan Ying?"
The young man opposite Qiao Yihang had a pale face, replied timidly, "The conflict in the Northwest was exceptionally fierce, almost all forces were wiped out; the exact situation is still... unclear at the moment!"
Boom!
Just as the young man finished speaking, a powerful Qigong burst forth from Qiao Yihang’s body, a fierce stream of Qi directly knocked the young man flying.
Even though the young man was also a Qi Gong Master, in front of the enraged Qiao Yihang, he was as small as an ant.
His body crashed into the wall of the study, stones scattered, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted directly from his mouth.
But the young man had no time to assess his own condition, the moment he landed, he hurriedly got up and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly: "Spare my life, Second Young Master, spare my life!"
"Spare your life?" Qiao Yihang’s expression was fierce and extremely savage: "Zhan Ying is dead, and you don’t even know the situation, what’s the use of keeping you?"
"It’s Ye Xuan!" The young man hurriedly said in desperation, "I suspect Ye Xuan killed Zhan Ying!"
Qiao Yihang, who was about to act and kill, stopped when he heard this and frowned: "Ye Xuan? That small figure from the Mortal World?"
"Yes, it must have been him!" The young man said hastily, "I’ve already investigated, aside from Lou Xinyu and Lou Family siblings, only Ye Xuan could have battled Zhan Ying in the Northwest conflict!
But the Lou Family has no grudge with the Qiao Family, Lou Xinyu is never keen on causing trouble actively; moreover, with their siblings’ terrifying strength, Zhan Ying would know better than to seize their treasures even if they got them.
Thus, the Lou siblings have no reason to kill Zhan Ying, even though Zhao Qianqian is known for killing without hesitation, she descended the mountain with a declining aura, seemingly poisoned, making it unlikely for her to kill Zhan Ying.
The only suspect left is Ye Xuan!
After listening to the young man’s words, Qiao Yihang frowned further, his amber eyes flashing with indecisive emotions.
Half a moment later, Qiao Yihang shook his head: "Impossible, Ye Xuan could not be Zhan Ying’s match, he is just a small figure in the Mortal World, how could it be? Impossible!!"
"Judging by strength alone, Ye Xuan of course couldn’t be Zhan Ying’s match, but in the treasure battle filled with mixed forces, especially the Vampire from the West, they have always wanted to kill Zhan Ying, greatly likely exhausting Zhan Ying’s power."
The young man said in a deep voice: "And Ye Xuan that kid is cunning and treacherous, if he knew Zhan Ying was from the Qiao Family, he would definitely plot to kill Zhan Ying because he clearly knows, if Zhan Ying survives, he will not make it back to the East Sea alive!"
Qiao Yihang fell into contemplation.
Apart from this explanation, there seemed to be no more reasonable explanations.
Seems it was indeed the case!
"Since you already had suspicions, why didn’t you say earlier?" Qiao Yihang’s gaze softened significantly, he smiled at the young man.
"It was just a suspicion, I dared not confirm it for the time being, so I thought to wait until it was truly verified before informing Second Young Master." The young man dared not meet Qiao Yihang’s eye.
Qiao Yihang was too capricious.
"Oh, you are quite clever." Qiao Yihang nodded, smiled interestedly: "But having followed me for so long, you haven’t noticed that the clever ones around me never live long?"
The young man was horrified upon hearing this.
Bang!
Without waiting for him to regain his senses, Qiao Yihang’s fist, filled with tremendous power, landed on his chest.
Instantly, his internal organs shattered.
The young man died instantly!
"Humph!"
Watching the young man slowly collapse, his body motionless, Qiao Yihang snorted coldly without pity: "Fetch someone to drag this useless dog out and feed him to the wolves!"
Immediately, someone appeared in the study to carry the young man’s body outside.
Within less than half a minute, a loyal subordinate who had once been devoted to Qiao Yihang vanished as if he had never existed in this world, disappearing silently.
The messy study was left with Qiao Yihang alone.
He raised his head to gaze out the window, narrowed his eyes, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth: "Ye Xuan? Hehe, even if you used despicable means to kill Zhan Ying, it counts as a skill. It seems I’ll have to meet you personally.
As soon as I set foot on the East Sea, your death is guaranteed!"
...
Joyful moments always make time feel short.
The same journey, the same duration, compared to the previous time when Ye Xuan and Ye Xiaoying went to the Northwest, the return was noticeably easier and sped by quickly.
Finally, with the loud broadcast announcing, the train from the Northwest steadily halted at East Sea.
As Ye Xuan, now fully laden, led the group out of the train station, he felt entirely invigorated.
"The air in East Sea is still my favorite!" Ye Xuan inhaled deeply, he couldn’t help but remark.
Ye Xiaoying cast an annoyed glance at Ye Xuan: "If you miss your wife, just say so directly, how does this relate to the air?"
"Compared to my wife, I miss you more." Ye Xuan’s face was full of tenderness.
"Really?" Ye Xiaoying narrowed her eyes mischievously: "Are you sure this isn’t just a lie to cheer me up? I’ll give you a chance to say it again."
"Even if you give me a million chances, I’d still tell the truth." Ye Xuan said solemnly: "What’s so good about my wife? Cold and unromantic, my snotty girl is the one who understands..."
Ye Xuan didn’t finish his words, and could no longer say anything more.
Because, he sensed it.
Behind him, there was a Killing Aura!!
