Immortal Doctor Expert in Urban

"You three gentlemen have come a long way, it must have been a hard journey," Lin Fei said with a smile to the three Martial Kings, Song Tang and his companions.

Song Tang and the others quickly replied, "Not hard at all, Medical Saint has treated us well in the past. We heard Young Master Lin is Medical Saint's disciple, so we've come to pay our respects."

Lin Fei understood their true intentions but maintained a courteous demeanor and said, "You three gentlemen are very considerate."

"Leng Ying, please pour some tea for these gentlemen."

"Yes," Leng Ying agreed, and prepared tea for the three Martial Kings.

"Young Master Lin, how has Medical Saint been lately?" Song Tang asked warmly, stroking his silver beard.

Lin Fei replied, "Thank you, Sir Song, for your concern. My master is doing very well."

"That's good to hear." Song Tang nodded, then continued, "Young Master Lin, besides inquiring about Medical Saint's wellbeing, we also have another matter where we need your help."

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Sir Song, please feel free to speak about anything."

"Young Master Lin, recently, both Shichang, Ao Shen, and I have encountered an insurmountable bottleneck in our martial arts cultivation," Song Tang said with a troubled expression.

At the same time, he exchanged a glance with Wen Shichang and Ao Shen.

Wen Shichang and Ao Shen immediately nodded and said to Lin Fei, "Song Tang is right, we've truly hit a bottleneck in our martial arts cultivation recently. We hope Young Master Lin can assist us."

Lin Fei said, "But gentlemen, my martial skills are humble and weak; I fear I cannot be of any help."

Song Tang quickly said, "Young Master Lin, you are too modest. Medical Saint once told us that if we ever faced a bottleneck in our martial cultivation, he would lend us the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' to help us dissolve our martial bottlenecks with its advanced heart method."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei understood their beating around the bush was finally getting to the true purpose of their visit.

Of course, Lin Fei wouldn't believe that his grandfather would ever lend them the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' to overcome their martial bottlenecks. He even suspected his grandfather didn't know these three at all.

"Yes, yes, yes, Song Tang is right. Medical Saint promised that if we encountered a cultivation bottleneck, he would lend us the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' to help us break through," Wen Shichang said, smiling widely like a happy Buddha.

Lin Fei said, "Although I wish to help you three gentlemen break through your bottlenecks, my master is not here, and I know nothing of this 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra,' so I fear I cannot assist."

Song Tang chuckled, "Young Master Lin, I understand your cautiousness. Please do not worry; Medical Saint has helped us before. Even if you lend us the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra,' you can rest easy. We only wish to borrow it to overcome our bottleneck, and we will return it after."

Lin Fei secretly laughed to himself; clearly, they were after the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' under the guise of borrowing it. Song Tang was indeed eloquent.

However, Lin Fei maintained an expression of confusion and said, "But Sir Song, I really don't know of this 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' you speak of."

"Hahaha, Young Master Lin, you are being too careful. We have already heard of your extraordinary medical skills, healing the citizens of Huadu, and that your benevolence is famed throughout the region," Song Tang said with a laugh.

"Moreover, we know that you possess the Martial Arts Holy Scripture, the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra.' The Hidden Kill people even captured the patriarchs of the five major families to force you to hand it over, isn't that right?"

Lin Fei finally realized why Song Tang and the two other Martial Kings came to Huadu.

It turned out Sect Leader Yue Chong of Hidden Kill had leaked such information to them, even disclosing their intent to capture the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' from Lin Fei's hands to the three Martial Kings.

No wonder the three Martial Kings were misled.

"Young Master Lin, the Hidden Kill Sect Leader Yue Chong in the South is a very difficult person to deal with, with high martial prowess, ruthless methods, and an insidious nature. With the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' in your possession, it's only a matter of time before Yue Chong seizes it. Why not lend it to us, so we can protect the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' for you?" Wen Shichang suggested with a sincere demeanor, seemingly intending to alleviate Lin Fei's worries.

Ao Shen nodded in agreement, "Young Master Lin, Wen Shichang is right. Yue Chong is extremely difficult to confront; having the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' with you is too perilous. Lend it to us, and you won't have to worry about Yue Chong taking it."

"Young Master Lin, lend us the Martial Saint Heart Sutra!"

"Lend it to us!~~"

"Lend it to us!~~~"

With sinister and cunning smiles, Song Tang, Wen Shichang, and Ao Shen urged, their voices filled with enchantment, as invisible sound waves like a Demonic Sound crept into Lin Fei's ears, attempting to hypnotize and control his mind.

Standing beside Lin Fei, Leng Ying suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness. His eyelids grew heavy, and he was just about to fall asleep.

Slap!

A crisp sound.

At this moment, as if he was affected by the three Martial Kings' hypnosis, the "drowsy" Lin Fei accidentally hit the teacup on the table.

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

It was precisely the sound of the breaking teacup that snapped Leng Ying out of the near-hypnotized state.

He realized that the three Martial Kings' enchanting voices earlier were intended to hypnotize and control Lin Fei's mind.

Fortunately, Lin Fei wasn't ensnared by their hypnosis, and the teacup falling to the ground, seemingly by accident, was Lin Fei's way of awakening him from the hypnotic state.

This earned Leng Ying a newfound respect for Lin Fei's abilities.

"Gentlemen, I apologize for accidentally dropping the teacup earlier," Lin Fei said apologetically to Song Tang and his companions.

The three of them were secretly puzzled, for they had just nearly succeeded in hypnotizing Lin Fei, but his dropping the teacup thwarted their efforts.

Was it truly an accident that Lin Fei knocked over the teacup?

"Lin Fei, it's no problem. What do you think about what we discussed earlier?" Song Tang asked, his eyes full of inquiry as he looked at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei laughed, "Sir Song, you fell into Yue Chong's trap. I don't have any 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra.' Yue Chong spread these rumors simply to use you to deal with me."

"Surely you know the saying about a snipe and a clam struggling until both are captured by the fisherman? Are you really willing to fall into Yue Chong's trap?"

Song Tang and the others exchanged glances. Before coming, they indeed received information that Yue Chong wanted to acquire the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' from Lin Fei.

Moreover, they confirmed that Lin Fei was indeed Medical Saint's disciple.

Even if Lin Fei didn't have the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra,' controlling him would force Medical Saint to hand it over.

Therefore, the trio, eager to obtain the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra,' was not swayed by Lin Fei's words.

"Young Master Lin, rest assured, by lending us the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra,' we will ensure Yue Chong never gets his hands on it." Song Tang no longer carried the previous genial smile, showing irritation as he spoke, almost like a command.

Lin Fei grinned mildly, "So, even if I don't have the 'Martial Saint Heart Sutra' today, you expect me to conjure one up like magic and hand it over?"
