Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Ji Qiubai was able to get to where he is today because his cunning has played a crucial role.

Despite Sun Guoting's Martial Arts Third Layer strength, he had never been able to defeat Ji Qiubai, a fact worth deep contemplation.

Some say he had dealings with some advanced martial arts masters, but the truth is unknown to anyone.

At Ji Qiubai's command, all those who needed to be captured were arrested.

...

"Fang Yu, I've arrested everyone. How should they be punished?" Ji Qiubai knew he had to fulfill all of Fang Yu's demands.

In the past, in order to preserve the Dragon Tiger Association, he spent a lot of money supporting martial arts masters, which was not cost-effective.

Now, considering Fang Yu might be a great master of Martial Arts Fifth Layer, he must do everything to maintain this relationship. After all, they had shared weal and woe together.

Fang Yu glanced at Ji Qiubai and said indifferently, "What do you think?"

He didn't say anything else and turned to walk out of the hall.

Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately followed.

Seeing the opportunity, the big shots of Jiangzhou rushed over, each holding a wine glass in hand.

...

"Brother Fang, I'm the CEO of Huacheng Group. I'm very pleased to meet you. Please honor me with a drink together."

"Mr. Fang, I'm the Chairman of Jiangzhou Iron Fist Network. Iron Fist matches well with you, Iron Fist King. We are truly fated!"

"Mr. Fang, I'm the President of Jingxi Group. I have a daughter, eighteen this year, beautiful as a celestial, and in my eyes, Mr. Fang, a man of talent, perfectly matches with my daughter—a match made in heaven!"

"——"

The scene was somewhat chaotic.

Obviously, these people were all trying to cozy up to Fang Yu.

Knowing that Fang Yu's demonstrated power could be of Martial Arts Fifth Layer, currying favor with such a grandmaster would benefit them for a lifetime.

There were those who offered drinks, money, and even marriages.

All sorts of offers.

None of these could attract Fang Yu.

Eight years ago, when Fang Yu was in power in Jiangzhou, he could command wind and call for rain, rich and influential... He had enjoyed all that.

Would he still walk these old paths today?

Pursuits of fame and wealth could corrupt a person's heart, leading eventually to downfall.

In Fang Yu's heart, only the path of cultivation was the true way!

...

"Get lost——"

Fang Yu barked, scaring everyone into retreating back, not daring to say another word.

Who would dare provoke such a master?

...

Fang Yu detested these sycophantic villains the most.

He didn't look back, just called out, "Xiaoxiao."

Jiang Xiaoxiao responded with an 'Oh' and ran over with quick, short steps.

"Brother-in-law..." Jiang Xiaoxiao ran to Fang Yu's side and clung to his arm.

Enjoying the awe from the surrounding eyes, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt particularly proud... a feeling even her sister could not give her.

She was still young, today's events left her mind muddled.

Regardless of the reason, she had made up her mind to stand by her brother-in-law's side.

Fang Yu looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao and patted her head: "Weren't you scared?"

The recent fight, moreover, he had killed someone.

Such a visual shock, not everyone could handle.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'm almost eighteen now, not scared."

"Good, let's go."

The two walked towards the entrance of the hall.

The crowd instantly parted ways.

Who would dare stop them?

...

Outside, the night fell, replaced by the colorful lights of Jiangzhou's night scene, with a bright moon hung in the sky, split in half by a narrow cloud.

The scenery was pleasant with a beauty by his side.

A victorious battle.

It should have been a pleasant night, but Fang Yu held a stern face and walked briskly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, being a frail and sweet young girl, also felt tired after following him for long.

"Brother-in-law, can you not walk so fast!" she gasped, bending over.

The preoccupied Fang Yu stopped, turned back to look at Jiang Xiaoxiao, and said nothing.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak further and hurriedly caught up.

Seeing her brother-in-law with a melancholic face, showing eyes with a distinctly different look than usual, the playful and lovely Jiang Xiaoxiao put away her usual mischief and stood quietly at the side.

He walked, she followed.

He stopped, she halted.

"Fang Yu—"

At the street corner, both of them heard someone calling.

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed the sound and saw Ji Qiubai, accompanied by a group of brothers, catching up. His mature and stable face carried a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Fang Yu would leave without even saying hello.

"Boss Ji?" Jiang Xiaoxiao called out excitedly.

Fang Yu's frown deepened.

"Xiaoyu, why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Ji Qiubai quickly approached, excitedly saying, "I really didn't expect you'd come today!"

"Didn't expect?" Fang Yu's heart sank.

"Yes, you being able to defeat Sun Guoting and kill Sun Ling, even if I lost Jiangbei New District, it's worth it." Ji Qiubai said excitedly.

"Oh." Fang Yu's expression was indifferent.

"Brother Yu, you are even more domineering than before," Yan Hu exclaimed admiringly.

Seeing Yan Hu was there as well, Fang Yu took a deep breath and spoke in a neutral tone, "Tiger, your brothers seem to be injured. You should take them to the hospital first."

"Injured?" Tiger scratched his head and chuckled, "No worries, it's just minor injuries."

"Just go if I told you to!" Fang Yu's tone suddenly turned cold.

"Oh."

Yan Hu was startled, waved his hand, and took those brothers who had minor injuries away first. Ji Qiubai didn't make any comment.

Yan Hu had just disappeared from sight.

Fang Yu suddenly lifted his foot and kicked at Ji Qiubai's chest with the force of thunder.

Despite being tall and having a strong ability to take hits, Ji Qiubai couldn't help but grunt and stagger back, spewing a mouthful of blood.

The group of underlings hurried to support him but dared not confront Fang Yu. They could only stare intensely.

After the hit, Ji Qiubai's expression turned cold and detached, his eyes fixed on Fang Yu, his expression severe and serious, "Why?"

This was Ji Qiubai!

Jiangzhou's Ji Qiubai!

Who would dare to hit him!?

Countless underlings worshipped him like a deity, a presence regarded higher even than Sun Guoting. With but a word from him, countless people would die for him.

Such a high-ranking boss was hit by someone.

And that someone was Fang Yu—his former brother!

How could he bear this insult!

This also startled Jiang Xiaoxiao; they were supposedly on the same side, so why the aggression? She admired Ji Qiubai quite a bit.

But her admiration for her brother-in-law was like Mount Everest, unparalleled. Although startled, she was sure her brother-in-law had his reasons! She quickly stood alertly behind her brother-in-law, her big eyes suspiciously fixing on Ji Qiubai and others.

Fang Yu was utterly indifferent, "Ji Qiubai, do you so desire to be the boss of Jiangzhou?!"

After a long moment of incomprehension, Ji Qiubai still answered, "Yes!"

"Do you think I would fight with you for the position of being the boss?" Fang Yu stared at him and said, "Don't mention being the boss of Jiangzhou, even if you offer me the position of being the boss of Yanjing, I wouldn't care!"

Ji Qiubai was startled.

Fang Yu continued, "You wanted Sun Guoting's hand to get rid of me, right?"

Hearing this, Ji Qiubai's face turned ashen.

"Fang Yu, you misunderstand me. I have always treated you as my closest brother! Heaven and earth can witness that!"

"Brother?"

Fang Yu laughed, a laugh full of sarcasm:

"You treat Tiger as a brother, yet you let him participate in a life-and-death fight without concern. You talk to me about brotherhood? Ji Qiubai, you don't have to pretend to be righteous or brotherly in front of me. The kick just now was meant for Yan Hu... I won't bother with today's events, consider it a payback for the time you took that stab for me! From now on, we are strangers—

Cruel severance of ties!"

These last four words were uttered by Fang Yu, one at a time.

Hearing this, Ji Qiubai spoke in a tone that was neither salty nor bland, "Fang Yu, do you think it's easy to be the big brother? In Jiangzhou, everyone is eyeing my position, and if I'm not careful, many brothers will die.

"The struggle for the Jiangbei New District has killed up to a hundred people today. These are all my brothers! That's why I chose the life-and-death fight! Even knowing today we were at a disadvantage, I still proposed the fight. What for?" Ji Qiubai's gaze swept over his own brothers, "Is it for these territories of Jiangbei? Is it for those external possessions? Fang Yu—let me tell you, I would rather give up the Jiangbei New District to keep my brothers safe!"

Fang Yu slightly raised his head.

Seeing those brothers behind Ji Qiubai, their eyes flashing with fervent admiration. He was almost certain that these underlings were moved by Ji Qiubai's foresight and loyalty.

Ji Qiubai, oh Ji Qiubai, you are still so manipulative.

It was frightening how clever he was.

The Ji Qiubai from eight years ago had completely fallen into this state, far beyond Fang Yu's imagination.

Fang Yu's heart ached!

Such scheming and forbearance.

Fang Yu wanted to laugh out loud but couldn't bring himself to. Staring at Ji Qiubai, Fang Yu said solemnly, "My words are clear, we are strangers henceforth…"

Ji Qiubai's mouth twitched, only feeling the pain in his chest intensifying!
