Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

”Elder Jiang, you are truly ungrateful.”

”My junior brother displayed the Sect Master Peak disciple token, and you still dare to make things difficult?”

”If you were honest, it wouldn’t have come to this.” Li Jiayin’s voice was icy, emanating the unique chill of an iceberg beauty, seemingly lowering the temperature of the Treasure Hall by several degrees in an instant.

”Effective immediately, relieve Jiang Anbiao of his elder position; he no longer manages the Treasure Hall’s duties.” Li Jiayin continued to issue orders.

Elder Jiang’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger, coldly snorting, ”Hmph, quite decisive, my junior niece, but today’s matter isn’t over!” With that, he threw down a token and strode away.

Xu Wendong looked surprised; did the matter end just like this?

Having finally caught Elder Jiang’s misconduct, it concluded so hastily?

”Senior sister, just removing him from his position?” Xu Wendong asked, puzzled.

Li Jiayin shrugged helplessly, nodding gently.

Even though she held the sect leader’s token, she was ultimately not the sect leader.

Elder Jiang is backed by the Fourth Elder among the Eight Great Elders of the Heavenly Nether Sect, and with the sect’s internal factions abundant, the sect leader cannot wield absolute power and often needs to balance various forces.

Even holding Elder Jiang’s misconduct, it is difficult to impose heavier punishment.

”Junior brother, let’s plan after father exits seclusion; for now, let’s help you select a treasure.” Li Jiayin sighed with resignation.

Though somewhat dissatisfied, Xu Wendong had no choice but to accept.

Soon, Li Jiayin picked up the roster and began to meticulously explain to Xu Wendong.

The Treasure Hall contained many treasures, but Xu Wendong was unmoved, casually selecting two items, spending a thousand points.

He earned five thousand points by breaking the relic trial, all stored in the disciple token.

”Senior sister, let’s go directly to the Scripture Hall; I’ve just entered the sect and need to learn several Divine Power Techniques.” Xu Wendong said calmly, fully aware that the Tongyou Finger was too powerful, prone to attracting greed once used; he understood the principle of ”keeping one’s wealth concealed.”

”Alright, let’s go.” Li Jiayin nodded, leading Xu Wendong to the Scripture Hall.

The Scripture Hall, like the Treasure Hall, was grand, with people coming and going continuously.

The guarding elder, seeing Li Jiayin accompanying someone, was exceedingly courteous and let them pass directly.

Inside the Scripture Hall, Li Jiayin personally selected divine skills for Xu Wendong.

”Junior brother, here’s a scroll of second-grade divine power ’Fallen Dragon Palm’, a must-learn for Heavenly Nether Sect disciples; take a look?” She smiled, handing over a scroll.

Xu Wendong glanced a few times, quickly committing the content to memory.

This divine skill seemed good, but was in fact flashy but impractical; he quickly discerned its inadequacy and decisively shook his head: ”Not learning.”

”Then here’s a scroll of third-grade divine power ’Profound Nether Moon Heart Method’, which can accelerate cultivation speed.” Li Jiayin offered again, but Xu Wendong shook his head.

He possessed the ’Nine Netherworlds Manual’, unparalleled in cultivation speed within the Netherworld realm.

Rejecting third-grade divine power methods triggered cold laughter from some disciples.

A burly young man strode forward, cupped his hands respectfully beside Li Jiayin, and greeted, ”Senior sister.”

Then, he looked at Xu Wendong disdainfully and said, ”This junior brother truly arrogant; refuses to learn this or that, showing utter contempt for Heavenly Nether Sect’s collection?”

Xu Wendong raised his head, looking at the person, ”Who are you?”

”I am Liu Annan, ranked eighty-fifth among disciples.” Liu Annan said confidently, eyes full of disdain, sneering, ”Junior brother, are you the one who broke the trial yesterday?”

”Think breaking the trial and entering Sect Master Peak makes you the chosen one?”

”There are many stronger than you in Heavenly Nether Sect, junior brother, better keep a low profile.”

Xu Wendong’s face was full of speechlessness, secretly complaining inside; he was merely selecting techniques in the Scripture Hall, and somehow got involved with this person.

These people of the Netherworld realm, really mind everyone’s business!

He glanced at Liu Annan, expression cold, tone annoyed, ”What I choose, what does it have to do with you?”

He knew well that before him was someone ranked eighty-fifth among disciples, cultivation level at the ninth peak of Soul Transformation Realm, just a step from Tongyou Realm.

Though this cultivation level is decent among ordinary disciples, it is negligible in front of him.

Liu Annan’s face froze at this remark; he thought of showing off before Li Jiayin to gain favor, but didn’t expect Xu Wendong to give him no face.

With anger surging inside, a new disciple who had merely broken a relic trial dared to be so arrogant?

”Senior sister, this child’s arrogance is excessive, utterly disrespectful, practically a piece of decayed wood!” Liu Annan said angrily.

However, Li Jiayin quietly stood aside, eyes calm, not saying a word.

Her gaze wandered between Xu Wendong and Liu Annan, seemingly waiting for something.

”I just ask you, while I am here selecting divine skills, how do I hinder you? Do you need to poke your nose into it?” Xu Wendong looked bewildered, brows furrowed, eyes flashing with a hint of displeasure.

He knew Liu Annan was deliberately picking a fight.

”Hmph, the divine skills chosen for you by senior sister are top-tier selections, yet you keep refusing them; are you looking down on senior sister?” Liu Annan snorted coldly, his urgency resembling a jumping clown.

He stood with hands on hips, chest slightly out, trying to pressure Xu Wendong with posturing.

Xu Wendong instantly understood his intentions; this guy obviously fancied Li Jiayin and wanted to attract her attention by belittling him.

However, judging from Li Jiayin’s response, she seemed to not fancy Liu Annan much.

Thinking this, Xu Wendong’s mouth curled upwards slightly, revealing a faint and unnoticed smile.

He mused inwardly, Heavenly Nether Sect disciples probably mostly harbored feelings for Li Jiayin, but Li Jiayin to them was like an insurmountable icy mountain; nothing could move her.

And he, today almost had further contact with Li Jiayin; just thinking about it amused Xu Wendong greatly.

”Looks like senior brother found those two divine skills excellent? You must have cultivated them too, right?” Xu Wendong smiled playfully, looking at Liu Annan.

”Indeed, I surely cultivated the Fallen Dragon Palm.” Liu Annan said, hands crossed behind him, head held high, wearing a superior look, as if declaring his exceptional nature to everyone.

Xu Wendong then turned to Li Jiayin, asking, ”Senior sister, if I beat him, can I also earn a ranking?”

His eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

Li Jiayin nodded gently, explaining, ”Rankings among Heavenly Nether Sect disciples must be determined through continual challenges.”

”Disciples ranked lower must challenge those ranked higher to improve their position.”

”With your strength in defeating Lou An previously, you could already rank in the top forty.”

”Only, the matter in the relic made Lou An lose face, so he sealed the information, making few in the sect aware at the moment.”

”Otherwise, Liu Annan here likely wouldn’t dare trouble you.” Her voice was gentle, yet carried undeniable authority.

”Then I will initiate a disciple challenge; I want his eighty-fifth rank!” Xu Wendong declared loudly, his voice echoing in the Scripture Hall, drawing everyone’s attention.

”Hiss, that kid wants to challenge Liu Annan?”

”Is he mad? Doesn’t he know Liu Annan is infamously ruthless?”

”Anyone who challenges him or is challenged by him always ends up with broken limbs.”

People whispered among themselves, expressing shock at Xu Wendong’s actions.
