Medical and Martial God

”I refuse to believe there’s anything in this world that can stump me.”

Ye Xiu’s defiant temper flared up. He returned to the mountain to ponder a solution. After thinking for over an hour, he still had no clue. He was completely ignorant of the hidden rules and dirty tricks of the construction industry.

Ye Xiu shouted down the mountain, ”Long Tianba, go catch up to those twenty people and ask where Seventh Master is.”

He decided he would personally go and talk with this ”Seventh Master” that the bald man had mentioned.

”Sure!”

Upon hearing this, Long Tianba felt as if he were suddenly on vacation and eagerly scurried off after them. With the speed of a Second Realm War God, he caught up in a matter of minutes.

The bald, burly man and his twenty men were instantly paralyzed with fear. The bald man fell to his knees, saying tremblingly, ”You... you’re not planning to kill us to silence us, are you?”

”Cut the crap!” Long Tianba couldn’t be bothered to waste words on such trash. ”Where is Seventh Master?”

The bald, burly man was stunned for a moment. ”At Wu Corporation!”

Long Tianba nodded, reached into the bald man’s pocket, pulled out his cigarettes and lighter, and said, ”Get lost!”

After the bald man and his twenty followers ran off, Long Tianba didn’t immediately return to report to Ye Xiu. Instead, he pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and sat by the side, smoking leisurely.

At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out, saw that Ye Xiu was calling, and quickly answered.

”Were you planning on finishing the whole pack before coming back?”

Long Tianba shuddered in fear, dropping the cigarette from his hand. Only then did he realize that Ye Xiu, high up on the mountain, had seen him sitting there smoking.

He hurriedly said, ”Seventh Master is at Wu Corporation! Uh, I’m on my way back now.”

Wu Corporation?

Ye Xiu hung up and called the helicopter pilot. ”Come and pick me up.”

「Ten minutes later!」

The helicopter was hovering over the mountain’s peak.

Ye Xiu leaped aboard.

”Ye Xiu, where are you going?” Kristina, who was running frantically toward him, shouted when she saw him jump onto the helicopter.

”I’ve got some business to handle! Just wait here, I’ll be back soon!” Ye Xiu yelled back.

”You are not allowed to go! I order you to come down right now!” Kristina shouted.

Then she could only watch as the helicopter flew away.

HISS!

Kristina was seething with rage.

The members of the Ye and Long families also heard Kristina’s voice.

Ye Tianming said, ”That voice sounds familiar.”

”It’s Kristina!” Long Tianba said, his face turning pale.

In an instant, all the members of the Ye and Long families were paralyzed with fear.

Ye Xiu has left! If Kristina decides to kill us, we’re no match for her at all.

”You people?” Kristina ran over, pausing when she saw Ye Tianming and Long Tianba. ”What are you doing here?”

Ye Tianming and Long Tianba were on the verge of tears from fright. Ye Tianming said with a tremble, ”Well, Ye Xiu exiled us here to clear the mountain and build a road.”

”He hid you here because he was afraid I’d kill you, right?” Kristina squinted. She had done her research and was well aware of the depth of Ye Xiu’s hatred for the Ye and Long families. She also knew that he wanted to torment them himself, to the point that he had even forbidden his own enforcers from killing them.

What if I sent the members of the Ye and Long families to Biluo Island as well? Wouldn’t that give me another card to play against Ye Xiu? Yes! That’s exactly what I’ll do. The Eternal Kingdom’s army should reach Nanjing tonight. I’ll just pick a few people to secretly transport all of them to Biluo Island.

The helicopter landed in a public plaza near the Wu Corporation, and Ye Xiu walked to the building.

”Who are you looking for?” The security guard at the door stopped him, his tone and attitude rather belligerent.

”I’m looking for Seventh Master,” Ye Xiu said.

The security guard looked Ye Xiu up and down. ”From Guanlou Mountain?”

Ye Xiu paused. Guanlou Mountain... That’s the one the Ye and Long families just finished building a road through. It seems the bald man already called Seventh Master, who must have expected me.

He nodded. ”Yes.”

”You got here quick!” the security guard snorted, a look of disdain on his face. ”Why did you come empty-handed?”

In his view, for an out-of-town contractor like this man to complete a project in Nanjing peacefully, he had to come begging to Seventh Master. It wasn’t just the guard who thought this; Seventh Master felt the same way. The guard just hadn’t expected Ye Xiu to be so clueless as to show up empty-handed.

”It’s in my pocket,” Ye Xiu said, patting his pocket.

A check?

The security guard nodded with satisfaction. ”Come with me. Seventh Master has been waiting for you.”

Ye Xiu nodded and followed the security guard to the door of the chairman’s office. The guard knocked and announced, ”Seventh Master, the person in charge of the Guanlou Mountain construction site is here.”

A cold voice drifted out from the office. ”Tell him to wait outside. I’m not free to see him now.”

A power play. A common trick the powerful use against the weak.

”Alright,” the security guard replied, then looked at Ye Xiu as if he were an ant. ”You heard him. Wait here obediently. You can go in when Seventh Master calls for you. You are not to leave without his permission.”

With that, he walked away.

Ye Xiu frowned. This Seventh Master really had a high opinion of himself. He pushed the door open and walked in, only to be greeted by an eye-watering scene.

”How dare you!”

Ye Xiu’s sudden entrance startled the fat man and his young secretary. Once he recovered, the fat man became furious and scolded, ”Who are you? Who let you in?”

”I’m from Guanlou Mountain,” Ye Xiu replied indifferently.

”So, it’s you,” the fat man, Seventh Master, roared. ”Didn’t I tell you to wait outside? Who gave you permission to come in?”

”I’m not in the habit of waiting for people.”

Ye Xiu casually walked over to the sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, and smiled. ”Please, continue. I’ll wait here. We can talk after you two are finished.”

A fierce light flashed in Seventh Master’s eyes. He sat up, squinting at Ye Xiu. ”You’re young, but you’ve got a lot of nerve. It seems you’re a big shot on your own turf. But this is Nanjing. Hasn’t anyone ever told you that even a mighty dragon must bow before the local snake?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the office lounge opened, and four armed bodyguards in black emerged. The moment the door opened, four guns aimed at Ye Xiu’s head. As they approached, two muzzles were pressed against the back of his head, and one was pressed to each of his temples.

”It seems I’m not the only spectator,” Ye Xiu said with a faint smile.

His complete composure, not even flinching with four guns pressed against his head, stunned Seventh Master, the secretary, and the four bodyguards.

”What courage! I’ve been making my way in the world for half my life, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone so bold!” Seventh Master said, looking at Ye Xiu with apparent admiration. ”Aren’t you afraid they’ll shoot you dead?”

Ye Xiu chuckled. ”Why should I be afraid of unloaded guns?”

”Fine. I’ll let you see for yourself if they’re loaded.” Seventh Master’s expression turned cold as ice. He commanded, ”Kill him.”
