The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1066: Junior Brother
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Luo Yao heard that her father was planning to hand her over to a stranger in the blink of an eye, her face instantly turned extremely red.

She admired Ye Shitian’s martial prowess more than anything else. However, her feelings for him were not as strong as her feelings for Ye Chen.

However, Ye Shitian was much better than the one from the Cui family!

If she could not choose her own happiness, Ye Shitian was undoubtedly the best choice!

Her eyes flickered as she looked at the masked Ye Chen, waiting for his response.

At this moment, Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had never expected Luo Wuya to have designs on him.

He glanced at Luo Yao, who quickly averted her gaze.

To Ye Chen, although Luo Yao was a beautiful woman and a gifted alchemist, she was only his friend.

He was grateful to Luo Yao for standing up for him when he was in danger, and he had accepted the offer to come here because he was grateful to her.

As for the engagement, Ye Chen could not accept it at the moment.

“Forgive me for not telling you the family I’m from,” Ye Chen said directly, “As for getting together, I have too many enemies right now. This will only be disadvantageous to Luo Yao. Besides, I’m used to being alone. I hope you can understand.”

His words were an indirect rejection.

Luo Wuya shook his head helplessly when he heard this.

As for Luo Yao, although she did not want anything to happen between her and Ye Shitian, she was still disappointed.

Luo Wuya did not want to give up on Ye Shitian. However, just as he was about to speak, Luo Yao interrupted him, “Father, Mr. Ye is right. Let’s just leave this matter at that. I hope Father can let me choose my own marriage!”

Luo Yao’s tone was a little unyielding as she did not want to become a tool for the Luo family’s alliances and political maneuvering.

Luo Wuya did not expect his daughter to retort like that. He looked displeased and said coldly, “Luo Yao, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Are you still thinking about Ye Chen?”

“Ye Chen is indeed very strong and talented, but do you know about the bet between him and Mr. Jingshui? No matter how talented he is, he will definitely die! Give up already!”

For Luo Wuya, Ye Chen was someone worthwhile to befriend and ally with. He even regretted his attitude back then!

However, now, when he saw Ye Shitian, he knew what he should do!

Ye Shitian was a hundred times more important than Ye Chen!

No matter how talented Ye Chen was, he would not be able to reach the Supreme Emperor realm within a hundred years, whereas Ye Shitian was an existence that could very possibly reach the peak of the Kunlun Mountains!

The Luo family had to try to win his favor at all costs!

Luo Yao’s eyes were filled with anger when she heard her father’s words and she retorted, “Dad, don’t forget what Ye Chen did in Danxu Town? If it weren’t for Ye Chen, do you think you would still be standing here?”

“A person like you who fawns on the powerful will one day destroy the entire Luo family!”

“You…” Luo Wuya’s expression darkened completely, and he even extended his hand to slap Luo Yao!

His palm was about to touch Luo Yao, but an invisible wave of energy blocked it.

Ye Shitian was already standing in front of Luo Yao.

“The two of you don’t have to continue!”

Ye Chen’s gaze swept across everyone present. “Ye Chen is my junior brother. He’ll be coming to Danxu Town soon.”

“What?!”

Luo Wuya’s expression instantly froze!

He simply could not believe it!

He said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Ye, it can’t be… That brat Ye Chen’s cultivation level is so weak. He was only a saint realm cultivator back then. How could he be your junior brother?”

Luo Yao’s eyes lit up and she quickly asked, “Mr. Ye, you said Ye Chen is your junior brother? Is this true?”

“Yes!” Ye Chen nodded, pretending to be profound.

“So…” Luo Wuya lamented.

Regret!

He regretted investigating Ye Chen’s identity and finding out that he had such a powerful senior brother, Ye Shitian!

A master who could nurture such a powerful person like Ye Shitian must be extraordinary. He might even be of the same generation as Han Yun!

Why did he not allow Ye Chen to stay back then and become his son-in-law?

Sigh!

Luo Wuya’s expression returned to normal. “I see. Actually, I think Little Yao likes your junior brother as well. I wonder where Ye Chen went?”

“He said he would come to Danxu Town in two days for the Alchemy Conference to get some medicinal pills to break through.”

“I wonder how many Alchemy Masters will be participating in this conference?” Ye Chen continued his pretense.

“Alchemy Conference? It was supposed to be held ten years from now,” Luo Wuya explained, “However, I don’t know why Alchemy Master Xingtian joined forces with a few hidden Alchemy Masters from the Kunlun Mountains to urge the Cui family and other families to hold the conference ahead of time.”

“Alchemy Master Ling Yi and Alchemy Master Bai Wu, as well as our Luo family, had no choice but to agree.”

“Other than Alchemy Master Ling Yi and Alchemy Master Xingtian, there are actually a few other Alchemy Masters in the Kunlun Mountains.”

“Three great families and the three Alchemy Masters have pushed for the Alchemy Conference at the same time, so the remaining two families and two Alchemy Masters can only agree because of the problem of candidates!”

“I don’t know why, but I have a sneaking feeling that there’s some conspiracy behind bringing the date of the conference forward this time.”

“Originally, the Alchemy Conference was used to select alchemists! At the same time, the five Alchemy Masters will personally appear and refine the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill to reward the youngest Alchemy Master and some of the participating families.”

“The winner of the competition for young alchemists will receive two Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills!”

“Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills can be used by origin king realm cultivators and below to advance a major realm, and for those above the origin king realm, it will allow them to advance a minor realm. Therefore, the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill is especially precious. The materials are all provided by the five great families and five Alchemy Masters!”

“Ten factions providing medicinal herbs? Why are there so many factions providing it all at once?” Ye Chen asked.

Luo Wuya smiled and explained, “Because five Ancient Hundred Spirit Pills are refined at one go. Other than the two that the young alchemist gets, two of the other three will be provided to two of the five families!”

“As for the last one, it’s up to the Alchemy Masters to decide who to bestow it upon!”

After Luo Wuya’s explanation, Ye Chen finally understood what was going on.

The entire Alchemy Conference was not only a competition between young alchemists, but also a competition between the various families. There was even a competition between the five Alchemy Masters, and the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill would be key to see which family rose through the ranks.
