Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Chapter 227: The Audacity



Chen Daotian, accompanied by Fang Yu, reached the place where he used to live, expecting it to be dilapidated and desolate, only to find it neatly kept and clean.

This indeed surprised the two of them.

"Chen Daotian, has someone taken over your home?" Fang Yu teased.

"Impossible, in Chen Family Village, there's no shortage of places to live, and they all despised my mother, always avoiding this place..."

How strange.

If no one took over, then no one lived here. So, if it's clean, there must be a problem.

"Who?"

Fang Yu suddenly turned his head, seeing at the end of the alley a girl with big braids, sneaking peeks at them.

His shout scared the girl into turning and running away.

Chen Daotian caught a glimpse of her retreating figure and frowned, "Xiao Ran?"

"What's going on? Don't tell me you still have friends here." Fang Yu said.

"Brother Yu, don't make fun of me... Not all of the Chen family members are bad people." Chen Daotian spoke somewhat regretfully.

"You're not really lacking... With so many people looking down on you, who would dare stand by your side?"

"Brother Yu, I don't like hearing that... If my dog wasn't dead, it would surely stand by me!"

"..."

You're impressive, you're tough! I can't argue with you.

But...

Thinking about it carefully, what Chen Daotian said isn't wrong. Some people, indeed, are worse than dogs.

Chen Daotian sighed:

"That girl is actually an idiot..."

"Uh..."

"When she was young, nobody played with her, only I treated her like a little sister. After growing up, we hardly ever saw each other. Over these five years, there are not many people I've really missed, and this silly girl Xiao Ran is one of them... Fortunately, an idiot does no harm. Living in Chen Family Village, not knowing worldly affairs, not scheming, others scold her, she listens and doesn't retort, not vying or competing. Sometimes I think, it's quite good this way."

Fang Yu also couldn't help but feel emotional, not delighted by external things, not saddened by personal woes, to reach such a realm, and yet, it's an idiot who does so.

"Then why don't you go find her?" Fang Yu asked.

"She has a good life here, a fool has their own fortune, I can only bring her trouble." Chen Daotian said.

There is certainly some reason in what he said.

That night, the two rested inside the residence.

The next morning.

Monkey really did bring the ashes as promised.

People of Chen Family Village did not dare to do anything to him.

After receiving the ashes, Chen Daotian and Fang Yu went to Chen Family's Graveyard.

...

In the graveyard.

The trees had been neatly trimmed and cleaned.

Here lay the ancestors of the Chen clan.

They were arranged with respect to seniority and hierarchy.

Chen Daotian opened up new graves on either side of his father's and erected tombstones.

The whole process was very simple, without any grand ceremonies or crowds to see them off.

"My mother once said, it's good to be buried together like this, without setting off firecrackers, without a big funeral." Chen Daotian looked at the tombstones and said faintly,

Fang Yu remained silent.

Fortunately, Chen Daotian didn't seem too sad.

He smiled and said, "From now on, you can be together forever."

With a thud.

Chen Daotian knelt and kowtowed three times on the spot, then got up as if without any reluctance to leave.

"Brother Yu, let's go."

"Won't you stay a while longer?" Fang Yu asked.

"No need, I'm afraid I can't hold back."

"Then let's go."

The two walked out of the graveyard.

Having fulfilled one of his wishes, Chen Daotian felt much lighter.

Just as the two stepped out of the cemetery —

The people from Chen Family Village approached in a large group.

Chen Daotian's brows furrowed tightly, cursing, "Forcing me to become an assassin!"

People of the same blood... yet so heartless to this extent!

"Don't hurry." Fang Yu waved his hand.

He noticed the people from Chen Family Village, supporting a severely injured Elder, coming slowly, with no aura of killing.

Before long.

The people from Chen Family Village arrived in front of Fang Yu and Chen Daotian.

Thud!

They all knelt down.

Chen Daotian was stunned.

What is this about?

"Daotian, the Chen Family is in trouble, and the blood that flows in your veins is still that of the Chen Family... I implore you in the name of an Elder to help the Chen Family get through this difficult time!"

After one of the Elders had finished speaking, he prostrated himself, with his forehead touching the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Daotian's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Now, you think of me? Now, I'm considered one of Chen Family Village's own? Have you no shame?"

The people of Chen Family Village all lowered their heads,

Their faces flushed with shame.

"Chen Qingze is dead, Chen Zheng, Chen Xia, and others have their Dantian broken; in addition, eight are dead and ten are severely injured... Aren't these enough to appease your hatred?"

That Elder raised his head with a look of indifference towards life and death—

"If it's not enough, I am willing to die as an apology! As long as you can help the Chen Family Village through this crisis, we will agree to any demand!"

Chen Daotian let out a laugh, these people truly had no shame at all!

"What do your lives or deaths have to do with me?"

This statement left them looking as pale as death, utterly despondent.

Fang Yu chuckled, "You don't want to be the village chief?"

Chen Daotian shook his head; had it not been to fulfill his mother's last wish, he wouldn't have wanted to stay another second.

"Then let's go."

That Chen Family Elder collapsed, his eyes hollow and lifeless.

At the moment Fang Yu and Chen Daotian turned around—

At the end of the woods appeared over a dozen men dressed in black Zhongshan suits.

Uniform and imposing.

"The Lu Family!"

"It's over! Those are people from the Lu Family!"

The villagers of the Chen Family Village exhibited looks of horror, crying out in alarm!

The man leading had the sharp eyes of a falcon and a serious expression.

"Since you're here, why talk of leaving? Chen Daotian, am I right?" The steady voice of the man approached.

The rustling of leaves.

The wind swept away the heatwave; autumn was on its horizon.

Fang Yu also frowned slightly and looked over...

That uniform clothing, their way of walking, all brought back memories.

This... is the true Lu Family, authentic disciples of the Lu Family.

Each of them had a square wooden plaque strapped at their waist, signifying their identity with the Lu Family!

Over a dozen people!

Compared with the overwhelming might of the Lu Family, this was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Yet, this small number exerted a tremendous pressure on the entire Chen Family Village!

"Lu Ziji?"

Fang Yu had a vague impression, Lu Ziji was the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, and for some reason later became Lu Tianxun's lackey.

Lu Ziji's gaze swept over... slid past the kneeling villagers of Chen Family, eventually settling on Chen Daotian and Fang Yu.

A hint of a cold smile crossed his lips.

"You are Chen Daotian?"

Chen Daotian did not respond.

Lu Ziji snorted coldly, approached the people of the Chen Family Village, and said coldly, "Elder Chen, you are truly useless! To have your juniors and younger generations kneel down."

The severely injured Elder Chen coughed violently, spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"Lu... Hall Master Lu, it's not that my Chen Family is incompetent, but the adversary is too strong..."

"Too strong?"

Lu Ziji sneered from the corner of his mouth, finding it disdainful. His gaze swept past Chen Daotian and settled on Fang Yu, "And who are you?"

Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, a trace of a light smile across his face.

Before he could speak, Chen Daotian whispered, "Brother Yu, I know you are extremely powerful, but now is not the time to go head-to-head with the Lu Family. You go first, I'll hold them off!"

Fang Yu raised his hand, stopping Chen Daotian behind him, revealing a calm smile, saying candidly, "Who says it's not the time for a head-to-head confrontation?"

Chen Daotian was shocked inside.

Even with his Eighth Layer Martial Arts prowess, facing the Lu Family, which was full of experts, was like a lone tree struggling to support a heavy load. What's more, Lu Tianyuan might have already made a breakthrough!

However...

Fang Yu continued to move forward with composure and tranquility.

Step by step...

Undaunted, with an unflustered expression, he walked with his hands behind his back, approaching Lu Ziji.

With only a fist's width of distance between them...

Their eyes locked on each other! Even their breaths could be heard—

Fang Yu asked calmly and deeply:

"Lu Ziji, do you really not remember me?"
