The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 175: Threats

Wu Xiangming looked at the pill in Ye Chen’s hand and his body trembled.

There were a total of ten medicinal pills that would make his cultivation speed three times faster!

If these were put up for auction, they would definitely fetch sky-high prices!

However, Ye Chen gave them to him without any hesitation.

His gaze slowly turned to the small booklet, on which the words ‘Divine Flame Technique’ were written.

Although he did not know what this cultivation technique was, Ye Chen’s words had been very clear.

The Wu family’s martial arts were trash in comparison to what was in this booklet!

At this moment, his eyes were slightly red, as he felt a sense of belonging.

In essence, he was Ye Chen’s servant, and had to obey Ye Chen no matter what.

However, it seemed that he had now earned Ye Chen’s trust and approval. Unlike what Wu Cheng and Wu Qiyuan had said earlier, he was not treated like a dog, but like an actual independent person.

He took the pills and cultivation technique, clenched his fists slightly, and said, “From now on, my life belongs to Mr. Ye!”

Ye Chen did not reply. Instead, he closed his eyes.

Updɑted on BοXƝ0VEL.cοm He knew very well that Wu Xiangming’s foundation and talent were not bad, and he needed to nurture a few experts by his side.

Wu Xiangming was the best candidate for this, which was why he gave him the pills and the Divine Flame technique.

Moreover, he had brought the Hundred-Herb Cauldron with him to Jiangnan Province. Therefore, the pills might be priceless to others, but to him, they were like candy.

As for the Divine Flame technique, although it was just an unrated technique in the Kunlun Mountains, it was definitely a top-notch technique in Huaxia or Jiangnan Province!

It was sufficient to greatly increase Wu Xiangming’s strength, and would even help him to surpass Wu Qiyuan. This in turn would also increase his own reputation and influence in Jiangnan Province.

Although Ye Lingtian was powerful and had a wide influence, he was still Ye Chen’s hidden power.

If Ye Lingtian’s ties to Ye Chen were exposed, it would shake the entire Jiangnan Province!

Jiangnan Province Hospital, VIP ward.

Xia Ruoxue looked at her grandmother’s pale face. She had not slept for the entire night.

On the day of her birthday party, Grandma had still been very healthy.

She also underwent a full-body checkup almost every week, and there were no problems with all the indicators. How could she suddenly collapse like this?

Furthermore, the doctors could not tell what the cause of the illness was, so they could only put her on IV drip for observation.

Her eyes were swollen and she cried the whole night. After all, she had been raised by her grandparents since she was young.

Her grandfather’s death was a huge blow to her. Now that her grandmother was unconscious, it seemed that the sorrows of the past were resurfacing.

At this moment, Ding Wan walked in and asked with concern, “Ruoxue, you’ve been here for the whole night. Go home and rest first. I’ll take care of things here.”

Her face was filled with guilt.

If she had not brought her mother back to the villa, Young Master Qin would not have had the opportunity to do something like this.

At the moment, she did not even want Xia Ruoxue to marry Qin Zhengyang!

Such a vicious person would only ruin Xia Ruoxue’s happiness!

However, did she have the right to choose? The Xia family could not afford to offend the Qin family.

Although the Xia family was a major family in Jiangnan Province, they were still far inferior to the Qin family.

Sometimes, she even thought that it would be great if Ye Chen had a top-notch family backing him.

That way, they could contend against the Qin family and she would be able to hand Ruoxue over to him without hesitation.

However, reality was harsh. Even though Ye Chen was outstanding, his background was still too humble, and thus he could not compare to Qin Zhengyang.

Xia Ruoxue glanced at her mother and asked, “Mom, why did grandma suddenly become like this? The more I think about it, the more puzzled I am. Why can’t the hospital diagnose her illness?”

Ding Wan looked a little flustered as she stammered, “1… I’m not too sure, but she suddenly fainted. After all, your grandmother is already old.”

Of course, she did not dare to say that Qin Zhengyang had attacked her. Otherwise, with Ruoxue’s stubborn personality, she would definitely try to settle the score with him!

If that happened, things would get out of hand.

Xia Ruoxue looked at her mother suspiciously. She knew that her mother must be hiding something from her. Otherwise, she would not have that expression on her face.

Could there be another reason behind her grandma’s current condition?

Xia Ruoxue stayed in the hospital for a few more hours, but in the end decided to return. After all, she had not rested since yesterday.

Her grandmother would not wake up anytime soon, so she asked the driver to send her back to the Xia family’s villa.

After resting for a few hours, she would return to the hospital to watch over her grandmother again.

At the Xia family’s villa, Xia Ruoxue dragged her exhausted body back home and drank a mouthful of water. Just as she was about to go upstairs, a cold voice rang out.

“You’re finally back.”

Xia Ruoxue was startled. She stiffened her neck and turned toward the source of the voice, and saw a devilish young man standing not far away.

When she saw this person, her face turned pale. It was the third young master of the Qin family, Qin Zhengyang!

Xia Ruoxue came to her senses and tried to make her way upstairs. However, she realized that a strange force was restraining her.

She could not move!

Qin Zhengyang walked over and stood in front of Xia Ruoxue.

“Why did you try to run away when you saw me? Am 1 that scary?”

Xia Ruoxue’s eyes were filled with fear as she shook her head. “No… No, I didn’t.”

Qin Zhengyang sneered. Seconds later, he reached out and grabbed Xia Ruoxue’s neck. He lifted her up, and nearly suffocated her.

Fortunately, Qin Zhengyang released his grip very quickly and put Xia Ruoxue down.

“You’re my fiancee. How can I hit you?”

Xia Ruoxue covered her neck and coughed a few times. She glared at Qin Zhengyang angrily. “This is the Xia family’s territory. What are you trying to do?”

“You are my fiancee! Don’t I even have the right to take a look? If it wasn’t for my cultivation technique, you might have become my slave long ago!”

Xia Ruoxue was stunned and left speechless.

Qin Zhengyang snorted coldly and turned his back.

“The Xia family? To the Qin family, you all are nothing! This time, I came here to remind you of three things. First, during this period of time, you’d better not leave Jiangnan Province. If you do, I will make sure to kill everyone related to you!”

A blatant threat!

Xia Ruoxue’s eyes were filled with anger. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Zhengyang continued, “Secondly, the wedding date that was originally set to be five months later is invalid. I have no more patience. This time, I’m going to Mount Kunlun to find someone. When I return, the wedding will commence immediately!”

“Thirdly, that little bastard from River City called Ye Chen touched someone from the Qin family. He won’t live for more than three days!”

With that, Qin Zhengyang took a step forward, and a strong force swept out, knocking Xia Ruoxue’s body against the wall.

She felt a burning pain on her back.

“Xia Ruoxue, you’d better not play any tricks on me.. If I come back and find out that you’ve done anything that I’m not satisfied with, your Xia family will disappear from Jiangnan Province!”
