Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Chapter 142: On the Verge of a Conflict Explosion (3rd Release, Seeking Votes)



Ye Wenjun never expected Nie Wu and Nie Ning to lose their patience so quickly.

In fact, Ye Wenjun had a vague feeling that they would make their move after the elder's celestial crane passes away. Elder Ye led the Hidden Dragon Team for many years, establishing a prestige that was not just about being in the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven. Many in the Hidden Dragon Team were utterly devoted to the elder.

Thus, how much Ye Wenjun wished that his great-grandfather could live a healthy life. Then, no one would dare to touch the Ye Family.

Alas, the internal conflicts within the Ye Family had been increasingly evident in recent years.

Even with these masters at the Fifth Layer of Martial Arts, they were constantly being overshadowed by the Zhao and Jin Families.

"Ye Mengmeng, don't forget, you are a member of the Ye Family. The Ye Family has been good to you, why would you do this?" the elder's voice was somber.

"Great-Grandfather... The Ye Family is not the same as it used to be. Even Uncle Ye is running off, I have no choice," Ye Mengmeng said with a mournful face.

"So you've decided to betray the Ye Family?" Ye Wenjun said coldly.

"Cousin, don't put it in such harsh terms, what do you mean by betrayal? I've wholeheartedly made so many contributions to the Ye Family, when have I ever harmed the Ye Family's interests?" Ye Mengmeng defended indignantly.

"Ye Mengmeng, I have long been aware of your relationship with Zhao Wuyan. There's no need for you to keep hiding it..." Ye Wenjun bluntly stated.

"The younger generations of the three great families all have pretty good relations, right?" Ye Mengmeng attempted to explain herself.

Upon hearing Ye Mengmeng's evasive response, and considering the Ye Family's plight, the elder suddenly started coughing violently—

Cough cough.

Cough cough cough...

"Great-Grandfather!" Ye Wenjun's expression shifted.

"Great-Grandfather, please don't be angry... Li Daming, where is Li Daming?" Ye Mengmeng called out.

By then, the elder had already stopped his cough, his emotions gradually stabilizing. With a fierce glare, he said:

"Li Daming has been chopped up and fed to the dogs by me... what do you want him for?"

"Ah?"

Ye Mengmeng was startled, but he quickly controlled his expression and said, "Li Daming must have wronged you, Great-Grandfather. He deserved to die!"

"At this point, you are still playing coy with this old man?" shouted the elder suddenly in rage, "Get out!"

The voice was thunderous, nearly deafening, not at all indicative of someone who had been seriously ill.

But wasn't it also an expression of utter anger?

Ye Mengmeng spoke with an innocent face, "Great-Grandfather, I am your great-grandson too..."

"Get out!"

Another explosive shout!

At that moment—

A hearty laughter came from outside the courtyard:

"The elder seems to be in good health today, full of vitality!"

The three of them turned to look towards the entrance.

Ye Mengmeng smiled, "See, Uncle Nie has come to see you."

No sooner had she spoken these words than two middle-aged men dressed in Chinese tunic suits entered the room.

One from the left and one from the right.

These two men were the protectors of the Hidden Dragon Team, Nie Wu and Nie Ning.

Nie Wu had a rugged appearance and a fierce face, while Nie Ning appeared somewhat genteel and refined.

"Elder, who has made you so angry?"

Nie Ning showed a faint smile and said, "Wenjun is here too, have a seat, have a seat... no need to stand on ceremony."

Yet, Ye Wenjun still rose to pay her respects, saying, "Greetings, uncles."

This was out of respect for one's elders.

The elder looked at them and said, "You didn't come to this old man just to check on me, did you?"

"Elder Ye, you worry too much. Neither Nie Wu nor I have seen you for a long time. We heard from Mengmeng that Wenjun was quite anxious when she came, so we were concerned and decided to pay a visit," said Nie Ning.

"Oh?"

Elder Ye's eyes flashed sharply, "Or are you anxious to see me dead?"

At those words, Nie Ning's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said, "It's a misunderstanding, a great misunderstanding, we truly came with the intention to see you."

"Yes, Uncle Nie even specially bought some nutritional supplements."

Ye Mengmeng took the things they brought over and placed them on the table.

"It shows that Uncle Nie is very attentive. Let me open it for you to see..."

He opened the box.

Instantly, the hospital room fell eerily quiet.

Because inside the box was not any ordinary item, but a clock.

Seeing this "gift," the old master's face stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he shouted, "How dare you!"

His roar almost contained Martial Arts Internal Strength!

After so many years, he had never been as enraged as he was today!

"Great-grandfather..." Ye Wenjun was very worried about his health, concern written all over her face.

However, the old master was so angry that he found it hard to control his emotions. He immediately stood up, his presence rising dramatically, his eyes bright and piercing, as he said in a deep voice:

"Nie Wu, Nie Ning!"

After all, having only just broken through to the Martial Arts Fifth Layer, they couldn't match the old master's years of accumulated presence and couldn't help but have a slight change in complexion as they said, "Old Master, please calm your anger!"

"Do you really not take Ye Shitian into account?"

"We dare not, dare not..." Both were inwardly shocked.

Wasn't the old master seriously ill? How could he be so confident?

Could it be... the old master has been pretending all along?

Impossible! That couldn't be!

The old master glanced at the clock and said sternly, "Take this thing away before I take action... and then go back to where you came from..."

Hearing this, Nie Ning looked up suspiciously.

Nie Ning was a smart man who liked to think things through carefully.

Upon hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew the old master well; if it had been before, anyone who sent him a clock would be undoubtedly doomed. Yet today, he was letting them go.

What did this imply?

It meant that the old man didn't dare to make a move!

And so—

Nie Ning smiled.

"Old Master, please don't be angry, I brought the wrong item... that clock is for my own use. I was in such a hurry today that I took the wrong thing by mistake..."

The old master snorted coldly, such an excuse and he had the gall to say it.

Nie Ning continued, "Old Master, is your illness... cured?"

It was at this moment that Ye Wenjun stood up, her expression calm as she said, "Thanks to the blessings of you two uncles, great-grandfather has not only recovered from his illness but also regained his strength."

She wanted to seize this opportunity to deter the two men.

"That's great! There's hope for the Ye Family now... Old Master, it's truly wonderful that you have regained your strength!" Inside, Nie Ning was utterly shocked, but outwardly he had to pretend to be very happy.

To tell the truth, Ye Wenjun felt so disgusted by this awkward and hypocritical scene that she wanted to vomit... but both sides were enduring, not tearing through this last facade!

As long as the facade wasn't torn, there was a chance to suppress it!

But just when she thought there was room for maneuver, Nie Wu, this rough character, suddenly stood up—

"Old Master Ye is an expert of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer... Nie Wu is less skilled, but I hope for some guidance from the Old Master..."

Both hands clasped together!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Ye Wenjun's heart sank. What to do, what to do... Nie Wu and Nie Ning were both early-stage experts of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer. Such super experts, even Old Master Zhong might not be able to subdue them with certainty, let alone their absence here!

Distant waters cannot extinguish nearby flames!

She began to panic...

Even when she took over as the CEO of the Ye Corporation, she had never panicked like she did now.
