Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2023: Chapter 2024: Clash of Geniuses

Ye Luo didn’t care at all about those malicious stares.

His goal was to investigate the clues about the Dragon Emperor’s body. According to the Dragon King’s instructions, once he got close enough, he should be able to sense it, but now he felt nothing, which means the Dragon Emperor’s body has nothing to do with the Chen Family.

But if he wanted to go to other families, it wouldn’t be that easy.

Even though they all belonged to the Kunwu Sect, these five families were suspicious of each other, except for necessary interactions. Trying to visit other families was basically impossible!

Therefore, to further pursue the investigation, he could only go to the Kunwu Sect!

In other words, he had to secure the nomination to become the Liu Family’s candidate for Sect Master and be cultivated as a core disciple of the Kunwu Sect!

For him, this wasn’t supposed to be difficult, after all, he was already at the Eighth Rank. If he used the Dragon Transformation, he could crush those so-called geniuses of the Liu Family in an instant!

But the problem was that he must use the cultivation technique that relies on the Frost Body!

If he used any other cultivation technique, it would expose him, and even if he had the Dragon King’s three strikes, he might not be able to get out of the Kunwu Mountains.

”It’s still a bit troublesome!” Ye Luo muttered to himself as he walked out.

He didn’t really like this kind of occasion, which matched that icy demeanor of the Young Master Liu.

Outside, it was still brightly lit with a joyful atmosphere.

Even the servants were sitting together, having a drink, as they weren’t watched during such grand events.

Suddenly, Ye Luo felt a piercing gaze fall upon him.

Turning his head, a woman in white was slowly approaching.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Luo recognized her identity.

Liu Mei! The once peerless genius of the Liu Family!

Judging by her aura, she indeed had broken through to the Seventh Rank realm, but the realm seemed somewhat unstable, evidently having just recently advanced.

What surprised Ye Luo was also her looks.

Although he didn’t know what means she used to obscure her appearance, by instinct, Ye Luo could sense that her beauty must be extraordinary.

Ye Luo naturally had an interest in beautiful women.

”You’ve finally returned!”

Her voice was pleasant to listen to, seemingly possessing a peculiar magic that enchanted anyone who heard it deeply.

Ye Luo knew that this wasn’t any spell or similar, but something she was naturally endowed with.

Ye Luo glanced at her but didn’t speak.

This conformed with the character of Young Master Liu.

Of course, this Young Master Liu was not uninterested in women; on the contrary, he had a special obsession with them, something Ye Luo found hard to accept.

This Young Master Liu, every time he was with a woman, he must torture them in various ways, to a perverse extent!

”I’m very curious to see just how powerful your Frost Body truly is!” Liu Mei spoke directly, her eyes brimming with battle will.

Clearly, the two had probably dueled numerous times in the past.

Now that both had reached breakthroughs, they naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Ye Luo sneered, ”Want to compete, huh? Fine, but if you lose, you know the consequences!”

At this, Liu Mei’s expression turned somewhat unnatural.

”Hmph, when have you ever beaten me?” she scoffed, ”This time, after my breakthrough, I’ve awakened my innate talents. There’s no way you’re my match! You still remember the wager for losing to me, right?”

Ye Luo was momentarily stunned. He had no impression of this wager, and presumably, Young Master Liu didn’t care much about it either. Such shallow memories, Ye Luo naturally couldn’t access.

”Is that so? I’ve been thinking about you since I was a kid, and this time, I must taste your flavor!” Ye Luo’s eyes greedily swept over her.

Instantly, Liu Mei’s body stiffened slightly.

”Heh, you two sure are in high spirits, coming out here so urgently to flirt!”

A man swaggered over from afar, waving a folding fan.

Upon seeing this person, Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed.

This person was none other than Liu Cheng!

In Liu Qing’s memory, this man was treacherous and cunning. Liu Qing had been set up by him more than once, even nearly losing his life.

Therefore, upon meeting, Liu Qing naturally wouldn’t show him any goodwill.

”Hmph, I’ve come to take your life this time!” Ye Luo snorted coldly.

”Take my life?” Liu Cheng laughed heartily, ”I intended to absorb your Frost Origin. With that, my strength could rise to another level!”

The Frost Origin produced by Liu Qing’s Frost Body could indeed be extracted by others. However, Ye Luo’s body contained no such Frost Origin, only a simulation using Dragon Soul power.

”Masters, the Family Head summons you inside!”

A servant hurried over to the three of them, clearly anxious.

At this moment, the tension among the three was explosive, the aura they exuded a palpable terror to the servant.

”Heh, then I’ll let you live another night!” Liu Cheng chuckled sinisterly.

”I think the same!” Ye Luo naturally wouldn’t show weakness.

The banquet was nearing its end, and it was evident the Family Head was extremely pleased today; his mouth had hardly shut the entire banquet.

And even more ecstatic were the families of the three geniuses, Liu Cheng, Liu Qing, and Liu Mei.

As the three entered the banquet hall, the surrounding crowd gradually quieted down.

”Haha, with you three in our Liu Family, in a few years, we’ll surely surpass the other families in status!” The head of the Liu Family laughed heartily and then called the three to his side.

”Family Head, I’ve heard that Junior Brother Qing’er has perfected his Frost Body this time, and we’re quite envious. Could he showcase it for us?” Liu Cheng suggested with a smile beside the Family Head.

Actually, the people present were very curious. Everyone said the Frost Body was formidable, but only a few had seen it firsthand, especially now that it had reached its peak state.

”Qing’er, what do you say?” The Family Head asked with a smile.

Ye Luo understood this was Liu Cheng’s attempt to probe his strengths and weaknesses. Even Liu Mei beside him stared at him with anticipation.

The principle of knowing both sides applied to everyone.

But, since the Family Head was asking, Ye Luo naturally couldn’t refuse.

”Replying to the Family Head, since he wishes to witness it, of course, that’s fine. I’ve also heard that Senior Brother Liu Cheng has achieved breakthroughs in his realm and am eager to see it myself! I implore the Family Head to grant this wish!” Ye Luo responded.

The Family Head was momentarily taken aback, as was Liu Cheng, whose face then darkened.

As for Liu Mei, her expression grew a bit complicated, for the previous Liu Qing wouldn’t have been so adaptable!

”Sure, but fists and feet have no eyes. If something happens to Junior Brother Liu Qing, you can’t blame me as the senior brother!” Liu Cheng remarked coldly.
