Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

The two left the hospital and checked the time.

"Have the deceased's family been notified?"

"They have been notified already."

"Alright, let's go."

...

...

When Xiao Yuanshan heard the news of his second son's tragic death, he flew into a furious rage.

Slap!

The priceless vase beside him was shattered into pieces in an instant.

Behind him, Xiao He and the butler were too scared to speak.

"Outrageous!"

"If I don't avenge this, I, Xiao Yuanshan, swear I'm not a human!"

Not only was Xiao Yuanshan furious, Xiao He's heart was also filled with hatred.

He never imagined that his younger brother would do something so reckless. The Xiao Family had various connections, but... they couldn't save a dead man!

Too foolish!

How could he be so foolish!

"Father, what should we do now?" Xiao He asked anxiously.

"Still have the face to ask..."

Xiao Yuanshan turned around and slapped Xiao He's face, leaving a bright red handprint, shocking and terrifying.

Xiao He didn't dare to move after being slapped.

He knew he was also responsible, for not keeping an eye on his brother; his father hitting him was well-deserved.

"Father, it was my fault for not looking after him... I'm willing to lead men to kill Fang Yu, that bastard, to avenge my brother!" Xiao He said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Yuanshan did not express any opinion. With his hands behind his back and furrowed eyebrows, he sat down.

His gaze turned cold as he spoke in a deep voice, "A small impatience spoils a great plan. Don't act rashly..."

"Father..."

"He is the Iron Fist King. Although he's not within martial arts... when he was making his mark in Jiangzhou back in the day, he also knew many brothers... After being away for so long, it's unreasonable for him not to reach out to his old subordinates."

Xiao Yuanshan continued slowly, "One of his best friends back then, Ji Qiubai, has now secured a position in Jiangbei. Would he watch the Iron Fist King snatch his territory? The Sun Family in Jiangnan dominates the region, and under Master Sun, there are martial arts experts. Even Ji Qiubai has to fear them a bit."

After a moment of contemplation, a sharp gleam appeared in Xiao Yuanshan's eyes—

"Two things to arrange immediately—first, contact the Sky Wolf Assassin Organization to test Iron Fist King's true strength; if necessary, eliminate him. Second, Master Sun is going to host a Dragon and Tiger Banquet early next month in Jiangzhou. Prepare a generous gift. The Xiao Family must rely on such a powerful ally like Master Sun!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He was sincerely convinced, replying respectfully, "Yes, I'll go handle it right away."

After giving the orders, Xiao Yuanshan walked over to the window—

"Next month, when Master Sun hosts the Dragon and Tiger Banquet, our Jiangdong territory, although small, will also be affected. Jiangnan and Jiangbei are reshuffling the deck, and it's not yet certain who will be the emperor... By then, as long as Iron Fist King shows up, he is doomed."

"Is Father planning to use Master Sun's 'knife' to eliminate Iron Fist King?" Xiao He said in surprise. "What if he doesn't attend the banquet?"

"He'll go... It's said that the Iron Fist King values loyalty. His brother, Yan Hu, will fight a duel to the death at the banquet... Send someone to leak this news to the Iron Fist King."

Xiao He suddenly understood, and bowed, "Father is wise!"

The so-called duel to the death is when forces from both sides send their fighters for a one-on-one battle, fighting until death. The winner takes the territory. The conflict between Jiangbei and Jiangnan has reached an irreconcilable state. In the past, the rule of dueling to the death was established to prevent massive casualties.

Unexpectedly, dueling to the death was making a comeback.

...

...

At Hua Hospital, in the ward.

Xu Zhaopei specifically bought meals and fruits from an outside snack shop, sitting beside the hospital bed, preparing food and fruits for Fang Yu.

She seemed like a completely different person, virtuous and genteel.

Fang Yu could hardly believe it.

"Did they ask you any questions?" Xu Zhaopei asked as she handed a peeled apple to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu took it, his movements swift, swallowing it whole like a pig, rapidly munching and finishing it off completely.

"No." Fang Yu said proudly, "They even said they want to award me a Medal of Bravery."

Xu Zhaopei paused, stopping her motions, and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, it's true. I acted in legitimate self-defense." Fang Yu declared righteously, "They should give me an award."

"Ugh, getting all cocky, what if it wasn't self-defense?" Xu Zhaopei rolled her eyes.

"Then it would be self-defense—"

Self... self-defense?

What the heck?

Realizing the implication, Xu Zhaopei's face turned red, shooting Fang Yu a fierce glare.

"Look at you, all bashful. How are you ever going to get a boyfriend like that?" Fang Yu said nonchalantly.

"Ugh, you think I can't get a boyfriend?" Xu Zhaopei replied indignantly, "The line of guys wanting to be my boyfriend could stretch from the hospital rooftop to the main entrance."

Fang Yu glanced at her prominent chest, joking, "You are actually quite pretty... just a bit too fierce. Otherwise, with your looks, how could you still be single?"

"Ptui! That's like expecting pearls from a swine!" Xu Zhaopei snapped back harshly. If it weren't for Fang Yu's injury, she would have punched him already.

"Calm down, or no one can cure your menopause," Fang Yu chuckled.

"You—stop it with your sweet talk," Xu Zhaopei said angrily, reaching out to pinch Fang Yu aggressively.

Ah, this shrew.

Fang Yu's face changed, bearing the pinch forcefully.

"We're colleagues, why so harsh?" Fang Yu complained, his mouth twitching from pain.

"You deserve it!" Xu Zhaopei said coldly.

"Come on, I was a heroic savior, treating a hero like this, aren't you afraid of being condemned by the public!?" Fang Yu said righteously.

"You? A hero?!" Xu Zhaopei pointed at him tremblingly, her eyes filled with anger and complex emotions.

"I'm perfectly fine," Fang Yu replied, picking up an apple from the table and shamelessly taking a bite, "Just joking, why take it seriously? Night has fallen, and I just don't want to spend it alone and lonely."

"Then continue being lonely," Xu Zhaopei withdrew her finger, starting to pack up to leave.

"Hey, don't go. I want to be discharged too," Fang Yu said, "the hospital can't function without me."

"It works fine without you!" Xu Zhaopei responded blandly, not giving Fang Yu any face.

"Always belittling me, how would you handle a madman like Xiao Ting?" Fang Yu retorted.

Xu Zhaopei was slightly stunned.

Indeed, although she was competent at work, she had zero fighting skills. As a woman, not only facing criminals like Xiao Ting, but even ordinary thugs would be a challenge.

"I'm curious, how did you handle Xiao Ting?" Xu Zhaopei showed a concerned expression.

Her curiosity was unmistakable.

Fang Yu proudly replied, "Just kidding, not just one Xiao Ting, even a hundred Xiao Tings wouldn't make me frown."

"-" Xu Zhaopei was taken aback and said, "Do you have to brag to feel good?"

"Not really," Fang Yu smiled faintly, "but exaggerating isn't worse than yours…"

After a few rounds of teasing, Xu Zhaopei gradually became immune to his words and glared at him.

Remembering the previous proposition, Xu Zhaopei looked at him seriously and said, "Are you coming to my grandfather's birthday banquet with me or not? Seriously."

Fang Yu saw her serious demeanor, not joking, sighed, and grabbing Xu Zhaopei's hand, said, "Since I'm a good guy, I'll just have to reluctantly be your shield... being your fake boyfriend, is there a reward?"

"You agreed, no backing out! Otherwise, you'll regret it..." Xu Zhaopei turned to leave, mentioning no rewards.

"Are you really not staying to keep me company?" Fang Yu showed a reluctant face.

"The hospital is busy during the day, can you stop being annoying." Xu Zhaopei stressed the word 'day', her tone indifferent.

"Go then, what's loneliness? At worst, I'll just cry alone in the night," Fang Yu leaned back, shamelessly saying.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhaopei still resolutely walked away.

The ward became extremely quiet and boring.

Fang Yu jumped off the bed, for him the knife wound was as if it was nothing.

Thinking over, he pulled out an old-fashioned phone and made a call.

"Bro Yu?! Nani, Bro Yu is calling me again, muah!" A saucy voice came from the phone.

"Cut the crap, send me your address."

"As you command!"

Having just broken through the Fourth Layer of Divine Dragon Technique, Fang Yu was fully confident in facing the martial arts masters of Jiangzhou! So… some things, no need to wait anymore.

I might not be Jiangzhou's Emperor, but definitely, they won't be either!

Fang Yu hung up the phone, looked out the window, and smilingly said:

"Storm, bring it on!"
