Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Nie Wu, being an uncultured man, acted impulsively without the hesitation characteristic of Nie Ning. He was direct and rough. It was this simple and direct way of doing things that immediately ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

Ye Wenjun's heart sank to the bottom of the pit.

With Grandfather Zhong not around, and her father absent, what should she do? Who else could come to her aid? External enemies would not make her this nervous, but a rebellion within her own family left her utterly helpless, as they knew the Ye Family all too well! All of the Ye descendants were not here!

Who else could come to help her?

The Hidden Dragon Guards! She still had the Hidden Dragon Guards!

"Come forth!"

Ye Wenjun called out.

At her command, over a dozen men clad in black leaped into the courtyard.

They knelt on one knee and with hands clasped said, "Miss Ye, please give your orders."

Seeing this scene, Nie Ning started to laugh—

"Stand down!"

This deep command made the Hidden Dragon guards kneeling outside pause for a moment. As soon as they recognized the speaker was the Hidden Dragon Guardian, Nie Ning, they responded almost without thought, "Yes!"

The dozen or so black-clad Hidden Dragon guards obediently stepped back!

"You—"

Ye Wenjun clenched her teeth, "So, you'd already replaced everyone here with your own people?"

Nie Ning chuckled:

"Wenjun, don't be so estranged, the Hidden Dragon Guards are all our own people. Besides, Nie Wu just wanted to exchange a few moves with the elder, we've come all this long way, surely we can't just do nothing, right?"

Elder Zhong, red-faced with anger, was not the type to admit defeat. Seeing the Hidden Dragon guards move to revolt, he could only commit to seeing things through to the end.

"Nie Wu, since you wish to spar, then I shall oblige you!"

Elder Zhong slowly rose from his bed, gradually regaining his composure.

He was a dignified man, having been prominent in Yanjing for many years, and had never been taken advantage of in his vulnerable moments like this. Yet, even so, he was utterly fearless.

"Wenjun, fetch my clothes."

If a fight was inevitable, he would ensure it was a dignified one.

"Great-grandfather..." Ye Wenjun was filled with concern...

"Obey."

She knew that the Ye Family was now caught between a rock and a hard place!

As Ye Wenjun turned around in that instant, she wished she could kill Ye Mengmeng with her gaze! She also blamed herself for not being careful enough!

She truly felt the evil nature of human hearts, even among her own family members!

Ye Wenjun eventually fetched Ye Shitian's clothes and helped him change, doing so unhurriedly.

Nie Ning seemed utterly confident in confronting Elder Zhong, standing there with a smile, waiting in feigned respect and politeness.

Washing his face, getting dressed, tidying up his hair—

The elder, now in traditional robes, exuded an imposing aura.

His expression calm, he walked into the middle of the courtyard.

Ye Wenjun, looking at her great-grandfather with his slow steps, couldn't help but feel her nose turn sour with emotion.

Great-grandfather had dedicated his life to the Ye Family... And now, in his old age, he was being plotted against by his own kin...

…

Nie Wu walked over to the opposite side, expressionless.

Nie Ning waved his hand and said: "Someone come."

A guard approached.

"Light the lamps."

It was almost completely dark now.

A crescent moon climbed into the night sky.

What a fine night it was, and equally, a night apt for killing—

Elder Zhong took a starting stance. Just like an elder practicing Tai Chi in the park, his movements were slow.

Nie Wu had no patience for this sort of thing, and with a snort, he stamped on the ground.

Boom!

Like a cannonball, he shot towards Elder Zhong.

Thwack, thwack thwack!

Nie Wu leaned forward, his fists raining down like torrential rain as he aimed for Elder Zhong's chest.

Elder Zhong, with his rich combat experience, raised his hand to parry, blocking each of Nie Wu's punches with his palm.

Boom!

With the final strike, fists exploded forward. Elder Zhong countered with both palms, a powerful force surged, shaking him, causing him to stagger back repeatedly.

The old master's face turned red in an instant and, unable to hold back, he began to cough—

Cough cough.

Cough cough cough.

"Great-grandfather!" Ye Wenjun was on the verge of tears.

"Nie Wu, what on earth do you want to do!? What exactly do you want? I'll give it to you... I'll give you everything, isn't that enough?" Ye Wenjun, seeing her great-grandfather's difficult cough, lost control of her emotions and said with a sobbing voice.

However, Nie Ning said, "It's normal for martial artists to encounter such situations during sparring. Miss Ye doesn't need to worry so much."

"Why..."

Ye Mengmeng, who was watching from the side, also couldn't hold back anymore and advised, "Cousin, leave it be! Uncle Nie means no harm... Besides, you're going to marry Young Master Zhao in the future, what's the point of being so attached to the Ye Family's possessions?!"

"Shut up!" Ye Wenjun glared at Ye Mengmeng, "The Ye Family's assets, even if passed on to Ye Xingchen, it's none of your business! Ye Mengmeng! Aspiring to get a share of the Ye Family's fortunes? Wishful thinking!"

"Still being so stubborn at this juncture! Alas—" Ye Mengmeng shook her head and said, "Ye Xingchen can't come back from overseas anyway! I've always been too heartbroken to tell you!"

"——"

Ye Wenjun's face turned deathly pale, her figure staggering backward.

Her mind was completely blank.

...

Meanwhile.

After testing out a move, Nie Wu had gotten a clear understanding of the old master's limits and said, "Old master, you've gotten old, eh!"

The old master lifted his dim eyes; he tried to support his body with his Inner Strength, but regrettably, there was too little of it. His body, just recently healed, was not fully recovered and now had to suffer such a blow, making him look unsteady.

"Come again!"

Nie Wu simply placed one hand behind his back and said, "Considering your age, I'll fight you with one hand."

"Arrogant!" The old master was the first to strike preemptively!

His fist shot out with a sibilant whistle, the whole person surging forward.

Old but still vigorous, an undimmed blade—this was probably the description of Ye Shitian at this moment.

Baring his teeth, he threw a punch!

Bang!

Nie Wu also raised his fist!

Fist clashed with fist!

Nie Wu was forced to take a step back.

However, the old master retreated over ten steps and, due to the sheer force, collapsed onto the ground and soon after, intense coughing followed.

"Not even worth one blow," Nie Wu said with a cold voice.

Nie Ning let out a sigh; by this point, they had completely torn face.

"Old master, it's time for the Ye Family to have a change of heaven... Tell me, where is Ye Xingkong now? And those two old timers surnamed Zhong, where are they?" Nie Ning said with a severe tone.

Seeing that the old master had completely lost his ability to fight, Ye Wenjun collapsed.

She couldn't care less about maintaining her image as a frail woman, waving her feeble fists and desperately rushing over.

Nie Wu's expression changed and he said, "Ignorant of life and death!"

Such a rude man who doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade.

Seeing this, Nie Ning promptly said, "Don't hurt Miss Ye... She is someone Young Master Zhao wants..."

"Miss Ye, those who understand the times are wise. Here, including the Ye Family mansion, almost everyone is my man. I've been patient up to this day, that's already very respectful. Don't stand in my way... otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless."

Slap!

Ye Wenjun raised her hand and slapped Nie Ning hard across the face!

Nie Ning's eyes widened!

"How dare you, you hit me?"

"Nie Ning! Standing before you… is Ye Family's Ye Shitian's great-granddaughter, Ye Family head Ye Xingkong's daughter, Ye Wenjun! If you want to move against the Ye Family, step over my dead body first!" Ye Wenjun's eyes reddened as she enunciated each word.

"Ye Wenjun! I won't hold this slap against you! I warn you for the last time, if you don't move aside..."

Just then, from a room not far away, a languid voice was heard—

...

That voice also carried a trace of playfulness and a hint of gloom:

"Bullying the elderly and women... can't you show a bit of shame?"

Boom!

The door of that room was kicked into pieces by Fang Yu!

Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes blazing like fire, like a valiant celestial warrior emerging.
