Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 527: Chapter 526, This Young Master is Very Unhappy

Elder Fang’s words made Xu Shaochun’s scalp tingle.

He hadn’t expected Xu Wendong to actually be Elder Fang’s sworn brother.

To be fair,

this was extremely bizarre.

After all, Elder Fang was already in his twilight years, while Xu Wendong looked merely eighteen or nineteen.

How had they become sworn brothers by some twist of fate?

He could not understand.

But he still promptly stated his stance, ”I, as a junior, was unaware that Miss Chen already had a good match. Now that I know, I certainly won’t impose.”

Elder Fang snorted coldly, ”I hope you can keep your word. If the Shi Family encounters any trouble, I will blame it all on your Xu Family.”

”Enough, all of you can leave!”

”Farewell, elder!” Xu Shaochun’s face was full of respect as he led his people, dejected, away from the Shi Family.

Chen Qing didn’t know how he got into Xu Shaochun’s luxury car.

Because he had been in a daze the whole time.

He could not believe that Xu Wendong was actually Elder Fang’s much-younger associate.

It wasn’t until he felt a stinging slap across his face that he snapped back to his senses, shocked, as Xu Shaochun’s roar came from beside him, ”Didn’t you say Chen Qiaomu was single? Why is she with Xu Wendong?”

Xu Shaochun had never swallowed such humiliation in all these years.

So he had to vent it out.

Clearly, Chen Qing was a good scapegoat.

Everything today was also because of him.

”Calm down, Young Master Xu, calm down. I didn’t know things would turn out like this either!” Chen Qing’s face was full of panic. Had he known Xu Wendong was Elder Fang’s sworn brother, he would have seriously considered his daughter’s marriage prospects.

Though marrying her into a northern secular family might bring him some prestige, it would be just that, prestige, while the Xu Family would not care about him in the slightest.

But if his daughter married Xu Wendong, even Elder Fang would have to call him uncle based on seniority.

Suddenly, it seemed a bit not worth it.

”Elder Zhang, I am a bit upset, very upset!” Xu Shaochun’s cold voice rang out.

The old man in the passenger seat pondered for a moment and said, ”Young Master, I could take action to kill Xu Wendong for you to vent your anger, but doing so would surely infuriate Elder Fang.”

A crazy smile flickered in Xu Shaochun’s eyes, ”Indeed, our Xu Family fears the Fang name, but if Xu Wendong were to die, would he really turn on us Xu Family over a dead man?”

Elder Zhang replied, ”I know what to do now.”

Xu Shaochun suddenly added, ”Elder Zhang, don’t you think that Xu Wendong guy looks somewhat familiar?”

Elder Zhang shook his head, ”Doesn’t seem familiar to me.”

Xu Shaochun looked out of the car window, mumbling, ”I don’t know why, but I always feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before. Never mind, best if Elder Zhang helps me kill that guy!”

”If I, Xu Shaochun, can’t have that woman, then no other man should think of claiming her!”

------

At the entrance of the Shi Family Villa.

Xu Wendong said to the Shi Family people, ”Grandfather, uncle, from now on, you can rest assured and not worry about the Xu Family causing you trouble.”

”Moreover, my elder brother has already become your neighbor, the Xu Family certainly wouldn’t dare come again.”

The Shi Family quickly expressed gratitude to Elder Fang and sincerely invited him to stay for lunch at their home.

In his earlier years, Elder Fang couldn’t get out of bed due to the Gu Worm in his body and had a small social circle. Now that he was fully healed, he wanted to make some new friends in his later life.

So, in the face of the Shi Family’s invitation, he readily agreed.

He sat in the living room with the people from secular families, drinking tea, eating fruits, and talking about his past experiences killing enemies on the battlefield. Even though those events happened many years ago, they were still vivid in his mind.

Listening to him, everyone was fired up, only regretting not being born in that war-torn era to fight alongside Elder Fang against the enemy.

Just after lunch,

Xu Wendong received a phone call from Hu Sanxiong, who was the third brother of Hu Yidao. This time, he was tasked with delivering the ingredients for refining the Four Symbols Pill.

”Wait for me at the hotel, I’ll be right back!” Xu Wendong hung up the phone and left the Shi Family.

He needed to help Hu Yidao and Lu Jian quickly refine the Four Symbols Pill so that they could break through, as only then could he utilize their forces to oppose the Xu Family.

He also had a gut feeling that the Xu Family would likely soon trace back to his origins.

He had to consolidate his power quickly.

Upon returning to the hotel,

Xu Wendong met Hu Sanxiong.

A man over two meters tall, bald, with a blood-red centipede tattooed on his face, one look made it clear he was not a good person.

But this man wore a white suit, immaculate from head to toe.

Giving off a gentleman-like yet roguish vibe.

”Mister Xu, these are the ingredients you need, there are eight in total.” Hu Sanxiong respectfully handed the ingredients to Xu Wendong.

Although this was the first time he met Xu Wendong, he’d heard from his eldest brother, Hu Yidao, about his power, which was definitely the top level in the martial world.

Even the reclusive Ye Gucheng, striving to break through, was no match for him.

Looking at those eight sets of herbs for refining the Four Symbols Pill, Xu Wendong felt sheer joy, knowing full well that these eight sets of ingredients were jointly found by Hu Yidao and Lu Jian, and even though the refined pills had to be equally shared between them.

But skimming a few wouldn’t be a problem, right?

He willed it, and under Hu Sanxiong’s shocked gaze, moved those herbs into the internal space of the Ge Furnace, ”This place isn’t suitable for alchemy, let’s head to Qingcheng Mountain!”

Qingcheng Mountain was more than thirty kilometers away from the provincial city, where it was sparsely populated with rich spiritual energy, an ideal place for alchemy.

”Okay.” Hu Sanxiong didn’t know why Xu Wendong wanted him to follow along, as in his view, his task was simply to deliver the ingredients to Xu Wendong, thereby completing his mission.

Yet, he dared not go against Xu Wendong’s words.

No need to mention anything else, just the fact that those herbs vanished out of thin air in front of Xu Wendong; such a means was beyond what ordinary people could accomplish.

Just like that,

Hu Sanxiong personally drove, taking Xu Wendong from the hotel to head towards Qingcheng Mountain outside the city.

But just as they were leaving the city,

Hu Sanxiong glanced at the rearview mirror and said, ”Mister Xu, it seems we’re being followed!”

Earlier, while in the city, he hadn’t felt any tailing because of the heavy traffic, but now he clearly sensed a black SUV trailing closely behind them.

”I need to go to the mountains for alchemy, handle this little nuisance for me!” Xu Wendong closed his eyes, relaxing, preparing for the upcoming pill refinement.

As for the trailing vehicle, he didn’t take it seriously.

”Got it.” Hu Sanxiong replied respectfully.

Moments later,

Hu Sanxiong’s car stopped at the entrance of Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area. Since it was winter and a heavy snow had recently fallen, there were no tourists in the mountains, making it wonderfully tranquil.

”Just wait for me here!” Xu Wendong pushed open the car door, moving through the snow-covered terrain like a gentle breeze, so fast that he didn’t even leave a footprint.

”Walking on snow without leaving a trace?” Hu Sanxiong was once again astonished by Xu Wendong’s abilities, then he got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and patiently waited for the black SUV to arrive.

When he saw the person stepping out of the black SUV, Hu Sanxiong couldn’t help but frown, ”Why is it you?”
