Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Ye Qiu’s father couldn’t help but stand up, his eyes full of unease: ”Girl, you can’t do this!”

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, her chest heaving slightly, her eyes resolute as she tried to calm the surge of emotions within her.

Her voice was firm and steady, without a trace of tremor: ”Grandfather, Father, I understand that you are considering the safety of the family, but I can never stand by and watch Mister Xu fall into distress without doing anything.”

”I will always remember the kindness he has shown to our Ye Family and dare not forget it even for a moment.”

Her gaze was like a torch, slowly sweeping over everyone present, her eyes flashing with a determined and resolute light: ”My mind is made up, I voluntarily sever ties with the Ye Family.”

”From now on, my actions will have nothing to do with the Ye Family!”

”Since I promised to help Mister Xu find the medicinal herbs, I will spare no effort to find them!”

”This is what I promised him.”

”And it’s what the Ye Family owes Mister Xu!”

As soon as she spoke these words, everyone was so shocked they couldn’t close their mouths.

Mr. Ye’s face instantly turned livid, he slammed his palm on the table, causing the teacups on it to jump, and he roared, ”Ye Qiu, are you out of your mind? Do you know what you’re saying? What do you have once you leave the Ye Family?”

Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate at all, she knelt straight down and solemnly kowtowed three times to Mr. Ye, her gaze firm as she said: ”Grandfather, I’m sorry, I know my decision has disappointed you, but this is a step I must take.”

”I cannot go against my conscience, cannot become an ungrateful person.”

Her father hurriedly stood up, quickly stepped forward to support Ye Qiu, but she gently turned away to avoid him.

”Father, please don’t persuade me anymore, my mind is made up.” Ye Qiu’s voice was calm yet firm, with an undeniable determination.

Her cousins looked at each other, completely at a loss.

They had never seen such a resolute Ye Qiu.

Her uncle shook his head helplessly, unable to help but sigh: ”This child is too stubborn.”

Ye Qiu slowly stood up, her posture upright, her eyes shining with a peculiar brilliance; it was the light of one willing to go through fire and water for the sake of justice in her heart.

”Grandfather, Father, Uncle, I hope you can understand me.”

”I’m leaving, take care of yourselves!”

With those words, Ye Qiu turned and resolutely walked towards the door.

Her steps were firm and powerful, each step steady and courageous, showing no hesitation, her back straight as if she were a poplar standing unyieldingly in a strong wind.

Mr. Ye watched Ye Qiu’s departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew clearly that once his granddaughter made up her mind, not even nine oxen could pull her back.

He sighed helplessly, muttering softly: ”This child is exactly like her grandmother when she was young...”

Ye Qiu walked out of the Ye Mansion, raised her head to gaze at the sky, her eyes showing no trace of confusion, only a firm goal.

Although there was a hint of relief in her heart from breaking free of shackles, there was more anticipation for the journey she was about to embark on.

She knew clearly there was no turning back for her.

After leaving the Ye Family, she quickly walked to her car, then started it and drove towards Dragon Suppressing Mountain.

She had a high school classmate who, by coincidence, became a cultivator, and was quite powerful. She was heading to Dragon Suppressing Mountain hoping this person could help her find those six herbs.

To fulfill her promise to Xu Wendong!

Dragon Suppressing Mountain lay across the land like a sleeping giant dragon, its undulating peaks bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun.

The mountains were lush with vegetation, shaded by green trees, with various rare flowers and plants swaying gently in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.

Mist enveloped the mountains, like a layer of thin gauze, shrouding the whole mountain, dreamy and ethereal.

A clear stream meandered down from the mountain, gurgling as it flowed, producing pleasant sounds like the beautiful melody of nature.

Ye Qiu advanced quickly along the winding mountain path, her anticipation growing ever stronger.

Finally, she arrived at the Taoist Temple in the mountains.

This Taoist Temple was ancient and elegant, with blue tiles and red walls, flying eaves and dougong brackets, appearing particularly dignified against the backdrop of green mountains and waters.

Ye Qiu hurriedly walked into the Taoist Temple, seeing a young man in his mid-twenties standing silently in the courtyard, gazing into the distance.

He wore a white Daoist robe, intricately embroidered with cloud patterns, fluttering gently in the wind, like an immortal descending to the world.

He had a tall and straight figure, standing like a sturdy pine.

His facial features were distinct, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his gaze as deep and bright as stars twinkling in the night sky.

His nose was high and straight, his lips slightly upturned with a faint smile, giving the impression of warmth and gentleness.

His extraordinary and transcendent aura seemed to separate him from the mundane, emanating a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere, yet hinting at a subtle power.

”Hu Jie? Is it really you?” Ye Qiu couldn’t help but ask, always feeling like the person in front of her resembled her high school classmate, yet his aura had undergone a dramatic transformation.

So much so that she dared not be certain!

Hu Jie slowly turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes upon seeing Ye Qiu, followed by a gentle smile: ”Ye Qiu? What brings you here?”

Ye Qiu smiled broadly: ”I came specifically to find you.”

”Find me?” Hu Jie was full of surprise, deeply astonished by Ye Qiu’s appearance.

After all, she was his high school crush.

However, at that time, his academic performance was average, and his personality rather introverted.

Plus, Ye Qiu was a wealthy daughter, there was a world of difference between them, so he never expressed his feelings.

Ye Qiu nodded, restraining her inner tension, and said: ”I want to ask you for a favor, to help me find some medicinal herbs.”

She wasn’t sure if Hu Jie would be willing to help her.

After all, they were only high school classmates.

Hu Jie smiled and said: ”If I can help, I naturally will not stand idly by.”

Ye Qiu was overjoyed, immediately telling Hu Jie the names of the six herbs.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jie frowned tightly: ”I’ve only heard of two of the herbs you mentioned; the remaining four I’ve never even heard of.”

”How about this, I’ll give you the two herbs I have, and I will ask around about the other four. If there are any leads, I’ll inform you right away.”

”Thank you, thank you!” Ye Qiu was full of gratitude, not expecting Hu Jie to be so readily willing to help her find the herbs, which filled her with a sense of gratitude.

A faint trace of smile appeared in Hu Jie’s deep eyes: ”We were classmates for three years, although I am now a man beyond the mundane, those years are the most precious memories of my life. Since you have asked me, how can I refuse?”
