Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Jiangzhou, Xu Family.

Old Master Xu Liu was watering the garden.

Before long, a thirty-something man in a suit walked briskly in and whispered a long message into Xu Liu's ear.

Xu Liu's expression became a kaleidoscope of emotions—from confusion to surprise, then to shock.

"Is everything you said true?"

"Old Master, it's absolutely true!"

Smack!

The watering can fell to the ground as he felt his heart pounding rapidly.

It was excitement; it was agitation.

"This lad really has the power of Martial Arts Fifth Layer?"

"Absolutely true!"

"This lad really killed Sun Ling in one move?"

"Absolutely true!"

"This lad really killed Sun Guoting in one move?"

"Absolutely true!"

Three consecutive questions, and the man affirmed each with certainty!

With this reply, Xu Liu seemed to shine with renewed vigor, and his back straightened involuntarily.

"Where is Peipei?"

"The young lady is still working at the hospital."

"Tell her to come back to me at once!" Xu Liu ordered, "Silly girl, at her age, can't she focus on dating?"

...

Jiangzhou, a secluded courtyard.

A middle-aged man was lying on a Taishi chair, fanning himself asleep.

Standing in front of him was his servant—the elder who had warned Fang Yu not to go to Yanjing within five years.

After hearing the report from the elder, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming—

"What? Martial Arts Fifth Layer?"

The elder also found it hard to believe.

"This is what eyewitnesses at the scene told me... That lad Fang Yu took out Sun Ling and Sun Guoting with one move each. Now in Jiangzhou's underworld, nobody is unaware of the Iron Fist King's name."

The middle-aged man's eyes bulged.

"Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven! He's now capable of contending with the Yanjing Martial Arts Families... I never expected this boy to have hidden his skills so deeply! He must have trained hard during these eight years!"

The elder said indifferently:

"Now that the power structure in Jiangzhou is being reshuffled, it's time for our Ye Family to enter the game."

The middle-aged man shook his head:

"No rush, I, Ye Xingkong, never take advantage of others' misfortune... When the Fang Family was destroyed, the Ye Family did not kick them while they were down; we even helped them. We certainly won't do so now..."

Hearing this, the elder seemed to recall past events.

"It seems your foresight was right. I was the one who misjudged... That lad managed to achieve Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven from being unable to cultivate at all, in just eight years. He truly qualifies as a genius!"

Ye Xingkong chuckled and said, "That being said, you don't oppose Wenjun's marriage agreement with him anymore?"

The elder said awkwardly:

"I take back my previous attitude and view, and fully support their marriage agreement."

Ye Xingkong laughed heartily.

Right after the elder affirmed his stance, he added with worry:

"I'm just afraid this boy won't honor the marriage agreement... I've heard that some time ago, he attended the birthday banquet of Jiangzhou's Xu Liu and set a marriage agreement on the spot with his granddaughter!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingkong frowned and said:

"Outrageous! To have my daughter Ye Wenjun and still not be satisfied, this boy is just as flirty as his father! He needs a good lesson!"

"—"

The elder became even more awkward and asked, "How would you teach him a lesson?"

Both were stunned.

The person in question is a Martial Arts Fifth Layer expert, and you, Ye Xingkong, impressive as you are, only have the Martial Arts Fourth Layer. How would you teach him a lesson?

This was indeed awkward.

Ye Xingkong, mindful of his own dignity, turned around with his hands clasped behind his back and said solemnly, "Denunciation!"

...

...

Yanjing, Zhao Family.

When Zhao Wuyan learned that the Sun Family had been annihilated, he was extremely shocked and immediately summoned his confidant to delegate some important matters.

"Zhao Gou, starting today, you are to be by my side for protection, especially when going to Jiangzhou."

"Yes!"

Zhao Gou is a martial arts master cultivated by the Zhao Family from an early age. Although not as powerful as those at the Martial Arts Fifth Layer, he is still a sensitive and loyal confidant whose strength has also reached the pinnacle of the Martial Arts Third Layer.

"Accompany me to see the old master."

"Yes!"

Soon, the two arrived at a secluded courtyard.

Upon reaching the door, Zhao Wuyan respectfully knocked—

Thump thump!

"Wuyan, come in."

Zhao Wuyan pushed the door open.

His personal guard stood closely behind him.

Inside the room, an old man in a traditional Chinese robe was practicing calligraphy. This person was Zhao Youdao, the linchpin of the Zhao Family.

Zhao Youdao saw his obedient grandson Zhao Wuyan and smiled, "I knew it was you just from the sound of your footsteps."

"Grandfather's hearing is indeed excellent," praised Zhao Wuyan.

"Why are you not busy with family affairs and instead coming to me?" asked Zhao Youdao with a smile.

Zhao Wuyan's smile disappeared, and he became serious.

"Grandfather, Fang Yu of the Fang Family has returned."

Seeing his serious demeanor, Zhao Youdao disdainfully said, "So he's back, what's there to fuss about? Isn't he just a waste from the Fang Family? Just find someone to kill him."

"Fang Yu is the very Iron Fist King of the past," Zhao Wuyan added.

"So what? Eight years ago, his father Fang Jin had the strength of the Martial Arts Second Layer, and he was still a waste. Not to mention a youngster who couldn't even enter the threshold of martial arts."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuyan's expression twitched.

Faced with his grandfather, he had to reveal the truth:

"Grandfather, the Iron Fist King's strength seems to be... Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven!"

Crack!

The brush in Zhao Youdao's hand broke from the shock and surprise because he hadn't controlled his strength properly.

"What?! Say that again!"

"Fang Yu now has the strength of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven!" Zhao Wuyan couldn't believe it himself.

"Fifth Layer Heaven..."

Zhao Youdao murmured to himself, his eyes flashing sharply as he thought for a moment and gradually calmed down.

"Don't panic. Although he is of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven, our Zhao Family also has quite a few experts at the Fourth Layer Heaven. In a real fight, he might not have the upper hand."

Zhao Youdao, with his hands behind his back, analyzed, "That youngster wanting revenge won't be so simple. Jin Shiji will not just stand by idly."

"But the Jin Family and our Zhao Family are like fire and water... If Fang Yu strikes at us first, won't Jin Shiji benefit as the third party?" Zhao Wuyan said.

"A tripartite balance, Yanjing also has the Ye Family watching closely; the Jin Family will intervene," Zhao Youdao said.

Zhao Wuyan nodded and spoke:

"This time when I went to Jiangzhou, besides visiting the Sun Family, I also went to Ye Xingkong's residence... Ye Xingkong has not been presiding over Yanjing for years, hiding in Jiangzhou to recuperate. I waited outside his door for two hours, and he didn't meet with me..."

Zhao Youdao laughed, "You, a junior, trying to visit him, how could he possibly pay attention to you... Don't worry about this. The Ye Family's business is all in Yanjing; he will have to come back sooner or later."

"With grandfather analyzing it this way, I feel much more at ease."

"Hm, just sort things out clearly... But do not be complacent as a result; this youngster's strength is not to be underestimated, and if he launches a surprise attack on you, it's more likely to be dangerous than fortunate."

At this point, Zhao Gou, standing behind, stepped forward and said, "I will ensure the young master's safety."

"You? With only the strength of the Third Layer pinnacle, how can you protect him?" Zhao Youdao asked back.

"This..." Zhao Gou was left speechless.

He was clear about the gap between the Third Layer and the Fifth Layer.

Seeing the awkwardness of the two, Zhao Youdao squinted his eyes and said, "The Lu Family has some experts who take on bounty tasks in private. You must at all costs establish a connection with them."

"I understand, Grandfather!"

Zhao Wuyan bowed deeply, his face gaining more confidence.
