Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1479 What About the Prince?

Self-inflicted harm cannot lead to survival!

It was precisely because of Li Zheng’s tyrannical behavior in daily life that today happened. Even though the guards recognized Ye Luo, none of them stepped forward to speak.

”Kill me? There are countless people who want to kill me, especially those from the Demon Clan. They probably hate me to the core. As for you, trash? You still don’t have the qualifications to kill me!”

Ye Luo’s tone was calm because this statement was a true reflection of who he was.

Border Guards, the Emperor of Great Tang, members of the Demon Clan from the Da Yue Empire, certain nobles of the Great Tang Empire, and even other princes.

Many of these individuals likely wished for Ye Luo’s death!

Even if Ye Luo completed his mission, would the Border Guards still keep him?

Would the Emperor of Great Tang tolerate a fake prince like him?

This answer could only be revealed in time.

Thus, Ye Luo likely cared the least when someone threatened to kill him!

”You wretches, do you all wish to have your clans annihilated? How dare you disobey the orders of your princely heir!”

Li Zheng dared not directly shout at Ye Luo because he feared Ye Luo might strike him again.

So instead, he yelled and even threatened his own subordinates.

This behavior of his made Ye Luo feel nothing but amusement, as if he were watching a clown—a truly ridiculous sight.

”All of you, step back. There’s no need for you to get involved here. Don’t worry, I won’t kill him!”

Suddenly, Ye Luo spoke to Li Zheng’s guards.

He gave orders to Li Zheng’s own guards. Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, but when he turned his head, he saw an unbelievable scene—the guards, who had always been loyal to him, actually obeyed Ye Luo’s command and left.

Even his ever-obedient attendant student did the same, not even sparing him a single glance as he walked away!

When Li Zheng looked again at the surrounding onlookers, he noticed that their gazes were filled with either anger or pity toward him.

What was going on? Li Zheng was dumbfounded. He was, after all, a member of the royal family! The princely heir of the Zhongzheng Royal Mansion. Yet the surrounding people dared to look at him with such expressions. What on earth was happening?

But just as Li Zheng started feeling panicked, he heard the sound of footsteps.

Light, casual, yet incredibly oppressively invasive!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

It was as if each step was stomping directly on Li Zheng’s heart.

Li Zheng was no fool. He knew very well that he had provoked someone absolutely beyond his capacity to handle.

But who was this person?

”You... Who exactly are you?”

Shaking with fear, Li Zheng supported himself on the ground with both hands, retreating repeatedly like an ordinary man with no cultivation.

”Who am I? You only need to know that I am Ling Xue’s fiancé. Remember, if you dare appear before Ling Xue again, I will make you wish you were dead! Now scram!”

With the last word, ”scram,” Ye Luo unleashed his terrifying aura. It could be said that Li Zheng was lucky not to have been scared to death on the spot.

How would Li Zheng dare linger? Hearing Ye Luo’s words was like receiving a royal pardon. He fled in disgrace, scrambling and crawling all the way.

Ye Luo cast a dismissive glance at the retreating Li Zheng, his heart filled with disdain. Such a cowardly individual—truly the first of his kind that Ye Luo had encountered in the Martial Realm!

Ye Luo had met many people in the Martial Realm before, but no one ever exhibited such cowardice.

In this Martial Realm where the strong rule and the weak perish, if not for the powerful family background of this guy, Ye Luo truly could not fathom how he had survived this long.

After Li Zheng ran far away, Ling Xue finally approached Ye Luo. Perhaps sensing Ye Luo’s irritation, Ling Xue hesitated, nervously explaining in a low voice, ”He... He has nothing to do with me. It’s just that our two families get along, so he often visits us from a young age. I have no feelings for him at all—not even as a regular friend. Actually, not even close to being a friend!”

If Li Zheng had heard Ling Xue’s words, one wondered if he might have spat up blood on the spot.

But Ye Luo, upon hearing this, didn’t care at all.

If someone like Li Zheng could steal his woman, then he wouldn’t deserve to be called Ye Luo!

Unknowingly, Ye Luo had already started regarding Ling Xue as his woman.

No matter what those who arranged this marriage thought, it had nothing to do with Ling Xue.

Ye Luo had a favorable impression of Ling Xue, and it was clear Ling Xue also liked Ye Luo. That was enough.

Feelings needed time to grow, and in truth, Ye Luo was deeply lonely!

Yes, lonely!

Having come to the Martial Realm, Ye Luo’s heart still yearned for the women he left behind on Earth!

However, his longing was a secret that only he knew.

Nalan Rou devoted herself entirely to caring for Nalan Chen. Even though she already had a relationship with Ye Luo, she had never once ventured out with him, let alone left any happy memories.

Lu Yi?

Lu Yi always saw herself as a servant before Ye Luo. Although she too had a relationship with Ye Luo, she constantly felt unworthy of him—despite Ye Luo never thinking that way.

It could be said that whether it was Nalan Rou or Lu Yi, there was always an invisible barrier between them and Ye Luo.

Only with Ling Xue, even though Ye Luo’s feelings weren’t yet deep, she was the only woman Ye Luo had a favorable impression of at the moment.

As such, he wouldn’t refuse the marriage. Instead, Ye Luo began pondering how to keep Ling Xue from becoming embroiled in his affairs.

After the incident with Li Zheng, Ling Xue clearly lost her enthusiasm for shopping. The two quickly returned to the villa.

But Ye Luo had no idea that the moment they returned to the villa, someone else had died!

Li Zheng!

The princely heir of the Zhongzheng Royal Mansion had died halfway back, inexplicably dropping dead in broad daylight and in full view of witnesses!

It took only moments for Zhongzheng Wang to receive news. No matter how useless Li Zheng was, he was still Zhongzheng Wang’s son!

”Who dares to kill my son?!”

In the Zhongzheng Royal Mansion, Zhongzheng Wang’s enraged roar made everyone tremble in fear. Kneeling before him were the guards who had accompanied Li Zheng on his outing!

Seeing the prince’s fury, the attendant student knew that unless he revealed the truth, he would not survive the day!

”Please calm your anger, Your Highness. The identity of the person who killed the princely heir is highly extraordinary. Your servant humbly begs Your Highness not to act recklessly!”

Compared to Li Zheng, his attendant student was evidently much more shrewd!

Hearing these words, Zhongzheng Wang immediately sensed the hidden implications behind them.

Angrily, he stretched out his hand and summoned the attendant student closer with a flick.

”Speak! Who dares to take my son’s life? Be they a prince or a royal, if they’ve killed my son, I will make them pay!”

Such arrogant words, but Zhongzheng Wang truly did have the strength to back them up.
