Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Master Fang

Everyone looked toward Su Yang, who stood at the door with a calm and unfazed demeanor. Elder Yue also turned his gaze to Su Yang, and couldn’t help but be surprised.

”He’s the one who cured him,” the middle-aged doctor confirmed quietly.

”Really?” Elder Yue’s eyes widened as he immediately got up and walked to Su Yang, respectfully saying, ”Hello, my name is Yue Beishan, and I’m very pleased to meet you!”

Su Yang cracked a slight smile, thinking Elder Yue was indeed very humble, far more so than the previous experts. Even faced with a mere student like himself, to maintain such an attitude was not easy.

”Su Yang,” Su Yang replied with just two words.

”What kind of way is that to talk? Elder Yue is speaking to you, do you not understand manners?” A bodyguard who came with Elder Yue became displeased.

Elder Yue hastily stopped the bodyguard, apologetically smiling, ”Master Su, I’m sorry, so sorry.”

Su Yang did not respond; in truth, he had already been quite accommodating towards this Elder Yue. If it had been someone else, Su Yang figured he probably wouldn’t have even spoken to him.

”Master Su, did you truly cure Hou Xiaoyi?” Elder Yue inquired.

”Yes!” Su Yang nodded.

Elder Yue’s spirits immediately lifted and he said, ”Then I wonder what treatment method Master Su used? The injury he had looked very severe when I examined it earlier. The chances of survival after treatment were very slim. Even with the most advanced technology and the best surgeons in the world, I suspect the likelihood of survival would be next to none. But, not only did you heal his wounds, Master Su, but you also cured his chronic conditions from the past. It’s truly unbelievable, a miracle unprecedented in medical history!”

Hou Shilin watched Hou Xiaoyi in shock; he hadn’t expected that Su Yang saving his father would come with such an unexpected surprise. The disease that had troubled Hou Xiaoyi for so many years was cured?

Hou Xiaoyi himself was also stunned. No wonder he felt so refreshed; his head was no longer dizzy, his eyes no longer blurred—everything was back to normal!

”I used Chinese medicine,” Su Yang replied offhandedly.

”Traditional Chinese Medicine!” Elder Yue was even more astonished, exclaiming, ”I had long heard that the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine were remarkably good, and seeing it today, indeed its reputation is well-deserved. Master Su, you have truly opened my eyes. I wonder if you have any time? I have some minor issues I would like to consult with you about.”

The several experts behind him were dumbfounded. Was Elder Yue, such a towering figure, behaving almost like a disciple in front of Su Yang?

”We’ll talk about it when I have time,” Su Yang did not refuse.

”Thank you, thank you so much,” Elder Yue said, overjoyed.

At that moment, several more people walked in, with Hou Xiaolian leading the way. Seeing Elder Yue, he was immediately filled with joy and eagerly said, ”Elder Yue, you’ve finally come, and not a moment too soon. I’m really sorry, but my father’s illness has flared up again. Shall we check on him first?”

”Oh my, Comrade Xiaolian, you really shouldn’t speak like that. My modest skills are nothing here; I’m simply playing the lute to a cow,” Elder Yue replied immediately.

”Ah?” Hou Xiaolian was taken aback, looked at everyone in the room, and didn’t understand the situation.

Elder Yue respectfully said, ”This Master Su here is several times more skilled than I. For Elder Hou’s illness, we still need to rely on Master Su!”

”Ah?” Hou Xiaolian’s eyes widened as he looked at Su Yang in confusion, wondering if he was dreaming. Could Elder Yue’s words be sarcastic?

Hou Xiaolian said, ”Elder Yue, please stop joking. With my father’s condition so critical, if there is any neglect on our part, I apologize in advance. The doctor’s heart is the benevolent parent’s heart; could you please check on my father first?”

Elder Yue didn’t dare to respond but instead looked respectfully at Su Yang.

”Let’s go have a look then,” Su Yang said calmly.

Only then did Elder Yue seem to have received approval, saying, ”Alright, let’s go have a look!”

Hou Xiaolian led everyone into the main building, which was bustling with urgent activity. From a distance, they could hear the harrowing cries coming from a room, unmistakably the voice of Hou Xiangde.

Hou Xiaozhi and Master Fang happened to be there as well. Hou Xiaozhi respectfully stood by Master Fang’s side. Seeing Hou Xiaolian arrive with Elder Yue, he quickly came over to greet them.

However, a disciple by Master Fang’s side looked disdainful, sneering, ”What kind of trash Elder Yue, isn’t he just a wandering quack? To dare act like a master in front of my teacher is simply courting death!”

The disciple’s voice was not loud but just enough for everyone to hear. Hou Xiaolian frowned and glanced at the disciple, asking, ”Who is this person?”

”Master Fang from Kun City...” Hou Xiaozhi quickly introduced, ”Very famous in Kun City!”

”Master Fang?” Hou Xiaolian was taken aback and his expression changed. This Master Fang, known in Kun City as someone who could predict the unpredictable and command the elements, was practically seen as an immortal among men. Hou Xiaolian had heard plenty of his legendary tales.

”My goodness, is this the Master Fang?”

”Which Master Fang?”

”You don’t know? Master Fang from Kun City, a personage akin to a living immortal, someone whom many celebrities and noble families in Kun City may have to queue up for and might not even get a chance to meet. I never expected he would come here today, truly an honor for our Hou Family!”

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, leaving Master Fang and his disciple with smug expressions on their faces.

The disciple arrogantly glanced at Elder Yue and said, ”Hou Xiaozhi, what is the meaning of this? You have invited my master over, and then you invited this Elder Yue as well? What, do you think my master is incapable of treating your father’s illness?”

Hou Xiaozhi, with a face full of embarrassment, hastily replied, ”Master Fang, little master, please do not misunderstand. Elder Yue has come all the way from the Capital City to take a look at my father’s condition. Everyone knows of Master Fang’s capabilities; who would dare to doubt it!”

Only then did the disciple nod in satisfaction and said, ”Since you understand, then let them leave. With my master here, there is no need for anyone else!”

Even Elder Yue, with all his patience, furrowed his brows at this moment. The several experts were also irritated and immediately started making a fuss.

Master Fang had been silent until now. Seeing that the commotion was getting out of hand, he suddenly uttered, ”Silence!”

His voice was not loud, but it exploded like thunder, resounding in everyone’s ears. The crowd felt their heads buzzing, dumbfounded for the moment, staggering to hold themselves steady.

The only person unshaken was Su Yang, a smile crossing his lips. This Master Fang was indeed a Qi Refining Realm Magician. However, his Qi Refining Realm was as good as nothing against Su Yang.

Once everyone regained their senses, Master Fang said with an air of nonchalance, ”Since Elder Yue has come from the Capital City, let him have a look first. We can’t let them make a wasted trip!”

His words sounded calm, but everyone could hear the arrogance in his tone. Moreover, he had not stopped his disciple’s earlier remarks, clearly indicating his tacit approval.

But Master Fang’s previous shout had made everyone wary of underestimating him. Elder Yue and the others exchanged glances and awkwardly entered the room.

Before long, they came back out, their expressions even more awkward than before. They were simply unable to discern what exactly was wrong with Hou Xiangde.

”Elder Yue, how did it go?” Hou Xiaolian asked anxiously.

”This...” Elder Yue said with a face full of embarrassment, ”I must apologize for my limited abilities, but I really cannot determine what illness Elder Hou has!”

”Ah?” Hou Xiaolian was stunned. If even Elder Yue couldn’t figure it out, was there any hope for Hou Xiangde?

Elder Yue hastily said, ”However, Master Su is here; perhaps we should let Master Su have a look?”

Hou Xiaolian looked at Su Yang in surprise, completely unaware of what was going on. Why was Elder Yue holding this high school student in such high regard?

”How dare someone call himself a master in front of my teacher,” the disciple began to rant again.

”Master Su truly has real skills!” Elder Yue immediately replied, holding immense respect for Su Yang and unable to tolerate any disrespect towards him.

”If he’s so skilled, why doesn’t he cure Elder Hou then?” the disciple said disdainfully.

”Master Su...” Elder Yue turned to Su Yang.

Su Yang, his hands clasped behind his back, leisurely said, ”No hurry, let them start first.”

”Ah?” Elder Yue was taken aback, while the disciple’s eyes widened and he said, ”What did you say? What do you mean? Are you commanding my master? What are you, to speak like that here? Hou Xiaozhi, is this the way the Hou Family operates?”

With a face full of embarrassment, Hou Xiaozhi quickly said, ”I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please calm down, junior master. I truly have never seen this kid before, and I don’t know where he came from. Shilin, this guy is your friend, right? What kind of friends are you making? That Su Yang during the day, and now another nuisance appears. Is the Hou Family’s door open to just anyone?”

Hou Shilin was embarrassed, while Su Yang glanced at Hou Xiaozhi and said, ”I am the Su Yang you’re talking about.”

”Ah?” Hou Xiaozhi was taken aback and then became even more irritated, pointing at Su Yang and saying, ”So you’re that Su Yang? Bullying classmates at school, disrespectful to teachers and disrupting order, violating school rules, and now you’ve come to our house. What are you trying to do?”

”I want to see how this great Master Fang performs...” Su Yang paused, then continued softly, ”And I want you to understand that there are some people in this world you cannot afford to provoke!”

Hou Xiaozhi was suddenly speechless, as Master Fang also opened his eyes wide, glaring at Su Yang.

”Young man, it’s alright to talk big, but be careful, lest a gust of wind snaps your tongue!” Master Fang said coldly. His voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed continuously inside the room, creating a somewhat mystical effect.

”Heh...” Su Yang chuckled coldly without a word.

Hou Xiaozhi wanted to speak, but then Hou Xiaolian interjected, ”Enough, the most important thing now is to treat my father. Shilin, take care of your friend and keep him from talking nonsense!”

As someone of high standing and significant influence in the Hou Family, Hou Xiaolian’s word carried a lot of weight. Hou Shilin was internally reluctant but didn’t dare to contradict.

Smirking smugly, Hou Xiaozhi said, ”Master Fang, please, we’re in your hands!”

”A small matter!” Master Fang replied, giving Su Yang a sidelong glance, ”But this kid must stay. I want to show him that there’s always someone better out there!”

Hou Xiaozhi waved his hand, and several people positioned themselves behind Su Yang. From their stance, it was clear that if Su Yang attempted to leave, they would resort to force.

Su Yang’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he remained silent, standing with his hands behind his back.
