Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

"The Jin Family is so arrogantly positioned atop their high pedestal, aren't they afraid that one day they'll be exterminated just like the Fang Family?" Sun Junzhong said with a cold look in his eyes.

The elder of the Sun Family stood up, hands clasped behind his back, gazing in the direction of the windowsill—

"Who can say for certain about such things? For now, in Yanjing, there appears to be no one who can hold sway over the Jin Family."

Sun Junzhong shook his head helplessly.

This world is all about clinging to relationships of mutual benefit.

The Jin Family's power is so great, yet it cannot become one's own support, which is inevitably regrettable.

Seeing Sun Junzhong shake his head and sigh, the elder let out a hearty laugh and said, "You don't need to belittle yourself... Although our Sun Family may not compare with the great Martial Arts Families, in Jiangzhou, no one dares to provoke the Sun Family, for they have yet to be born."

It must be said that he makes a very good point.

Sun Junzhong nodded in agreement.

A long time ago, Sun Junzhong had learned of the secrets of Martial Arts.

At that time, he too had looked forward to one day becoming a person of the Martial Arts world, revered by all.

Unfortunately, he lacked the talent.

Within the entire Sun Family, only a handful of people had ever stepped foot into the realm of Martial Arts.

Sun Junzhong knew that Martial Arts were divided into nine layers. Even at his grandfather's age, he possessed only the strength of the Martial Arts Third Layer.

"Grandfather, are there any experts at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer in this world?" Sun Junzhong asked out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this question, a look of fear emerged in the eyes of the elder—

"To my knowledge, no expert of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer has ever appeared in this world... But, thirty years ago, there was a person who rocked Feng Yu, and it was said that he possessed the strength of the Martial Arts Seventh Layer."

"Seventh Layer?"

The elder turned around and gave him a brief glance, saying, "Don't underestimate the strength of the Seventh Layer. At my venerable age, having the strength of the Third Layer is enough to dominate Jiangzhou."

Sun Junzhong felt a huge shock run through his body.

Yes, if the Third Layer is enough to dominate Jiangzhou, how powerful must the Seventh Layer be?

Seeing his grandson's shocked expression, the elder couldn't help but laugh heartily and said:

"Legend has it that after the Martial Arts Ninth Layer, one can break through to the Innate... That's an entirely different realm, transcending the ordinary and entering the realm of saints, even capable of soaring through the skies and burrowing into the earth." The elder said this and snorted derisively, "However, legends are just legends and should not be taken as truth."

Sun Junzhong nodded lightly.

"Grandfather's words are true, if even the Martial Arts Ninth Layer has never appeared, then how could there be the Innate?"

The elder nodded with satisfaction, looking at his grandson, his heart also filled with contentment.

This grandson is neither arrogant nor impetuous, acts neither hastily nor slowly, he has the makings of someone who can accomplish great things... It's just a pity that he cannot enter the path.

Thinking of this, the elder let out a soft sigh:

"There's nothing more for you here, go and prepare the gifts for the Xu Family."

"Yes."

...

...

In the dining room.

Fang Yu looked helplessly at Xu Zhaopei.

"Peipei, a talented girl like you can definitely find someone better, there's no need to waste time on someone like me."

"I don't care, if you don't agree, I'll tell people you slept with me!" Xu Zhaopei said with a mournful face.

Heh... this woman, biting the hand that feeds her, failing to recognize a good heart.

Watching Xu Zhaopei puffing up in anger, like she would risk everything, Fang Yu said earnestly:

"I only agreed to pretend to be your boyfriend, I have nothing to do with anything else. But—" Fang Yu said this 'but', and Xu Zhaopei's face immediately lit up with anticipation.

"But—I didn't expect that the one you want to marry is actually from the Sun Family."

Hearing this, Xu Zhaopei's face showed disappointment.

She had thought Fang Yu was about to agree to be her real boyfriend.

"What's wrong with the Sun Family?"

"I hate the Sun Family."

Fang Yu seriously said, "So, I'll definitely help you with this favor..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaopei's face lit up with gratitude, "You're willing to be my boyfriend?"

"Just pretend," Fang Yu curled his lips dismissively, "I'm actually very devoted."

"Stop kidding! My grandfather is very shrewd. Do you think you can fool him like that?" Xu Zhaopei said with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm even shrewder than your grandfather."

"—"

Right at that moment, at the restaurant entrance, an oddly dressed elderly man with a florid complexion fixed his piercing gaze on Fang Yu.

Fang Yu, alert as always, immediately sensed it and turned to look back.

The old man had a scar on his face and an extraordinary aura.

Fang Yu's expression shifted slightly as he casually said, "Peipei, you go back first. I've got something to take care of."

Without looking back, he hurried off.

Xu Zhaopei, thinking Fang Yu truly had something urgent to deal with, did not try to stop him.

...

Fang Yu dashed out of the restaurant,

And sure enough, the elderly man paused at the corner and gave Fang Yu a glance.

Fang Yu decisively followed him.

His instincts told him that this man was no ordinary person and very likely a martial artist.

The elderly man turned and entered a secluded alleyway.

Fang Yu followed closely behind.

Not long after, the elder suddenly stopped, hands behind his back, and slowly turned around.

His eyes, fierce and spirited like a tiger's, fixed on Fang Yu.

Fang Yu looked at the elderly man with a smiling gaze, "You intentionally lured me here, what exactly do you want?"

The elder scrutinized Fang Yu and asked, "You are Fang Ju's son, Fang Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu was startled.

Given that Fang Yu had just returned to the boundaries of Jiangzhou, it made sense for this man to know that he was the Iron Fist King, as he had previously revealed that fact about himself. However, for him to also know his father's name, this person must have had a very close relationship with the Fang Family eight years ago.

Either a friend or a foe.

"Who exactly are you?" Fang Yu asked solemnly.

"There's no need to be alarmed. If I had wanted to act against you, I would've done so already; there's no need for all this talk," the elder continued.

Fang Yu pondered to himself, since the man wasn't an enemy, who could he be?

The elder, seemingly a bit dissatisfied with Fang Yu, said, "You've revealed yourself too early. If I could find you, so could others..."

"You worry too much, old man. I don't need you meddling in my affairs." Fang Yu could tell this old guy was not an enemy, but it still wasn't his place to interfere.

The elder snorted coldly, "You're very bold. Lucky to be alive, yet you dare return! Whether or not you can establish yourself in Jiangzhou with your abilities is still an uncertain matter. Let me warn you, do not set foot in Yanjing for the next five years!"

"Why not?"

"Yanjing is still very dangerous for you. If you want to survive, do as I say."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu felt this old man was being overly interfering.

But he didn't retort and just looked at him as he spoke.

The elder continued, "That's all I can say. Take care of yourself."

Having said that, he turned and walked away.

Not far off—

Fang Yu called out with a wave, "Hey, old man, who are you really? You care about me so much, are you thinking of betrothing your granddaughter to me?"

The elder's face cringed, and without looking back, he muttered under his breath, "I don't understand what Ye Xingkong is thinking, this kid doesn't seem to be the right material. Foolish!"

With a grand wave of his hand, he turned and disappeared.

...

Fang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "So nosy when it's none of his business! Not only will I conquer Jiangzhou, but I will also decimate the Martial Arts Families of Yanjing!"
