The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2391: Chapter 2365: Invitation from the Divine Kingdom! (Seven updates delivered!)

Cang Ye couldn’t help but suppress the scolding that was about to escape his lips and asked the two men, ”Who are you two?”

The two men at the door, one of them dressed in white with an ordinary appearance and a tall figure, had a pair of tiger-like eyes brimming with arrogance. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, in a pose typical of a lofty young master.

Beside him, the other man was dressed in a water-blue robe, following beside the man in white, his face carrying a hint of a smile, looking seemingly gentle and refined yet treating the white-clothed man with considerable respect.

Both of these men were unmistakably at the Great Void level of cultivation!

The man in white was named Du Chengshi, and the man in the blue robe was named Li Ling.

Upon hearing the question, Li Ling, who was fanning himself, answered with a smile, ”Who are we? We are envoys sent by the Divine Kingdom to inform Ye Chen that he has been granted the qualification to enter the Divine Kingdom and that he should accompany us there.”

Cang Ye and Zining exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. Cang Ye, who was usually not one to show much emotion, managed to force a smile and stepped forward with a courteous fist-and-palm salute, saying, ”Apologies, esteemed guests of the Divine Kingdom have come from afar, and I was unaware if there had been any neglect. Please forgive me! May I invite you to take the seat of honor!”

Having said that, he ushered Li Ling and Du Chengshi to the main seats inside the great hall.

However, at that moment, Du Chengshi’s gaze fell on Zining who stood by the side. He was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up brightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an amused smile.

Noticing this, Li Ling followed suit, and couldn’t help but pause. Zining’s appearance, even by the standards of the Divine Kingdom, ranked among the top, and she just happened to be just Du Chengshi’s type!

At the same time, Li Ling couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow for Zining. Women who caught the fancy of Du Chengshi generally did not meet good ends. Du Chengshi’s way of treating women involved certain peculiarities, often tormenting them to the point of self-destruction.

But then again, Zining’s level of cultivation wasn’t very high, and she was only a member of a Lingwu Sect, so if she died, would it really matter?

After all, the Lingwu Continent was a world of martial arts cultivation, where martial prowess was revered. Without real power or backing, even if one had the looks of a Heavenly Immortal, one could only be a plaything for others.

Cang Ye instructed the maids in the hall, ”Someone, serve the two young masters Spiritual Tea and spiritual fruits!”

Then, turning to Li Ling and Du Chengshi with a polite smile, he said, ”Young masters, I am Cang Ye, the sect master of Mystic Moon Sect. Might I have the honor of knowing your esteemed names?”

Du Chengshi fixed Cang Ye with a cold glance, his eyes full of disdain as he said, ”You, a mere Sealed Gate Lingwu sect master? You think you’re worthy of knowing our names?”

Cang Ye’s expression changed, a hint of displeasure creeping in.

These two men from the Divine Kingdom had barged into Mystic Moon Sect without announcement, which was incredibly rude, and even so, he had been thoroughly courteous towards them. Surely there had been no disrespect or offense?

Yet, despite this, they gave no face and even openly ridiculed him? Was this the arrogance typical of the people of the Divine Kingdom?

However, after a moment of silence, Cang Ye still held back his anger, not only holding it back but also forcing a smile, and said apologetically to Du Chengshi, ”I apologize, it was presumptuous of me.”

Why did Cang Ye apologize?

Was it simply because the other side consisted of Divine Kingdom powerhouses?

No, of course not; Cang Ye was not one to curry favor.

His reasons were for Ye Chen.

Although he knew Ye Chen was strong, the Divine Kingdom was a place teeming with powerful and monstrous beings, a place a thousand times more ruthless than the Lingwu Continent. Even with Ye Chen’s strength and talent, it would likely be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Divine Kingdom as a newcomer, right?

And for someone who had just arrived, having a guide would certainly be of immense help.

The reason why Cang Ye was so subservient to Du Chengshi, even responding with a smile after being treated so arrogantly, was to get Du Chengshi to help Ye Chen out after he entered the Divine Kingdom.

Immediately, Cang Ye said with a smile, ”This young master, seeing your extraordinary bearing, you must be among the elite in the Divine Kingdom, right? After Ye Chen enters the Divine Kingdom, I hope the young master will offer him your generous support...”

He knew that this person’s character was likely to provoke ridicule, but for the sake of Ye Chen, Cang Ye was willing to endure the humiliation.

As expected, upon hearing those words, Du Chengshi sneered and was about to say something when the maid brought over the Spiritual Tea and spiritual fruits.

Du Chengshi glanced at the spiritual fruits and then at Zining beside him, and his gaze flickered.

Cang Ye warmly said, ”Come, young master, please try this. This is our Lingwu Continent’s top-tier spiritual fruits and Spiritual Tea.”

Du Chengshi, looking at the peeled spiritual fruit, sneered and said, ”Heh, spiritual fruits? Sect Master Cang, this is how you entertain me in request of taking care of Ye Chen?”

Cang Ye’s expression stiffened on hearing that, and he replied somewhat helplessly, ”Young master, what seems to be the problem?”

Du Chengshi coldly said, ”What is my status? Are you offering me a spiritual fruit that has been touched by a servant’s filthy hands? What does this mean? Are you looking down on me?”

Cang Ye quickly explained, ”Young master, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean any offense...”

Suddenly, Du Chengshi gave a twisted smile and, casting an ambiguous glance at Zining, said, ”Oh? If you truly mean no offense, why not let this young lady beside you peel the spiritual fruit for me?”

Upon hearing this, a shadow passed across Cang Ye’s face. He was silent for a moment before staring into Du Chengshi’s eyes and said in a grave tone, ”You are mistaken, young master from the Divine Kingdom. Zining is an elder of our Mystic Moon Sect.”

Naturally, it was inappropriate for an elder of the Mystic Moon Sect to serve by peeling fruits for others! Otherwise, where would the Mystic Moon Sect’s dignity lie?

Cang Ye could sacrifice a bit of his own face and show deference, but having an elder of the sect peel fruits? That was not just about one person; it involved the integrity of the entire sect!

Moreover, Cang Ye had watched Zining grow up, almost like a father to her, and he certainly wouldn’t allow Zining to suffer such an insult!

Even if the other party was a powerful force from the Divine Kingdom!

Du Chengshi’s eyes narrowed, and with a gaze as venomous as a Poisonous Snake, he did not expect this seemingly subservient wretch to dare to contradict and refuse him.

Was he being too gracious?

However, Du Chengshi didn’t fly into a rage immediately but instead curled his lips into a cold smile, addressing Cang Ye indifferently, ”Sect Master Cang, are you really, intending to refuse me? Do you know what my status is in the Divine Kingdom?”

Du Chengshi’s voice suddenly chilled as he continued, ”I may not be an envoy of the Divine Kingdom, but the reason I’ve come to the Mystic Moon Sect is that I am the nephew of an envoy from the Divine Kingdom. Do you realize what this means?”

The so-called envoys of the Divine Kingdom, similar to the official law enforcement officers of the great empires on the Lingwu Continent, hold immense power in the Divine Kingdom. Even the top-tier forces of the Divine Kingdom have to give face to an envoy!

Should they displease him, any Lingwu Sect could face disaster!
