Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

”Martial niece, my Disciple let you go in because he cares about you, but this brat just slandered me. There is absolutely no way I’ll let him enter.”

Gu Lingtong let out a cold snort, his voice carrying a chilling coldness that made one’s hair stand on end.

”Are you going in or not? If you don’t, I’ll just let Tianxiong keep picking out treasures inside, and by then you won’t be able to get in either!” There was a hint of threat in his tone, as if telling Li Jiayin she no longer had any choice.

Hearing this, Li Jiayin’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

She never imagined that Wu Tianxiong and Gu Lingtong would be this insidious, using Sect rules to deliberately make things hard for her.

This had really turned into a big problem.

She had already offended Gu Lingtong just now; if she left Xu Wendong alone here to deal with him, with Xu Wendong’s strength, he would probably suffer a huge loss.

”Senior sister, you go in first. I’ll give you the list of herbs I need.” A calm smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s face. Unhurriedly, he took out a herb list he had long prepared from his chest and handed it to Li Jiayin.

Seeing this, Li Jiayin’s face was full of worry.

Her eyes were filled with unease as she looked at Xu Wendong, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Leaving Xu Wendong here alone, she really couldn’t feel at ease.

”Junior brother, you...” A trace of helplessness appeared on Li Jiayin’s pretty face as she unconsciously took a step forward and held Xu Wendong’s hand.

Because he had picked the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass, Xu Wendong’s hand had been severely burned and still had not recovered. The skin was cracked and covered with scars; just looking at it made one’s heart ache.

This scene.

Was completely taken in by Wu Tianxiong, and the anger in his heart instantly flared up.

Gu Lingtong snorted coldly, leaned close to Wu Tianxiong, and said via voice transmission, ”Tianxiong, after all your infatuation with Li Jiayin, who would’ve thought that woman would actually develop feelings for her own junior brother.”

”They say the one closest to the water gets the moon first—looks like that Lin Mo really did succeed.”

Hearing this, two sharp beams of light shot out from Wu Tianxiong’s eyes, like lightning tearing through the night sky.

All the Disciples in the entire Sect knew that he, Wu Tianxiong, had a special fondness for Li Jiayin. Usually, no matter who it was, they had to give him some face in front of him.

Yet this Xu Wendong actually dared to be this intimate with Li Jiayin right in front of him. This was simply a blatant provocation.

Xu Wendong had no idea what was going through Wu Tianxiong’s mind; he just felt baffled.

After all, none of this was something he had taken the initiative to do—what did it have to do with him?

”Senior sister, you go in first, leave things out here to me.” A faint smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s face.

In his view, as long as he could get the herbs and cure Li Lingtian’s illness, nothing else mattered.

Li Jiayin nodded slightly and gave Xu Wendong a long, deep look, her eyes full of worry and reluctance.

Then she turned and slowly walked into the Treasure Hall.

In her heart she was thinking that she not only had to bring back the herbs, she also had to pick out some healing Divine Medicine so she could treat Xu Wendong’s hand injuries after she came out!

After Li Jiayin left, Wu Tianxiong’s expression instantly turned as dark as the sky before a storm.

His gaze was icy cold as he stared fixedly at Xu Wendong, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

In an instant, a sinister, chilling atmosphere spread out like a tide, and the temperature around them seemed to drop by several degrees.

The Disciples all around couldn’t help shivering. They all backed away a few steps, afraid of being caught up in this terrifying atmosphere.

”Junior brother, you’re that so‑called genius Disciple who broke through the Trial Gate?” Wu Tianxiong’s voice was cold and low, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

His gaze was like two sharp blades, stabbing straight into Xu Wendong, carrying a hint of contempt and disdain.

He unceremoniously stretched out a big hand and slapped it heavily onto Xu Wendong’s shoulder. On the surface it looked like an elder brother encouraging a junior, but in reality he was secretly exerting force, intending to give Xu Wendong a show of dominance.

This sudden move left Xu Wendong puzzled; he frowned subconsciously.

”And who the hell are you?” Xu Wendong impatiently shoved Wu Tianxiong’s hand away, his eyes full of annoyance.

”Heh, who am I?” Wu Tianxiong was so angered by Xu Wendong’s reaction that he let out a cold laugh.

In his opinion, within the vast Heavenly Nether Sect, even though he didn’t often show himself, there were very few who didn’t know him.

”I’m Wu Tianxiong, second on the Disciple rankings!” He lifted his head, looking at Xu Wendong with an extremely proud expression.

”And then?” Xu Wendong nodded, his face still full of confusion. His tone was utterly flat, as if Wu Tianxiong’s status wasn’t worth a damn to him.

”Oh?”

Wu Tianxiong was stunned, his face written full of disbelief.

The surrounding Disciples were all dumbfounded, and even Gu Lingtong’s eyes widened in shock at Xu Wendong’s reaction.

They really couldn’t believe that Xu Wendong was so unmoved by Wu Tianxiong’s name. Was he really an idiot?

Or did he simply not know Wu Tianxiong’s status in the Heavenly Nether Sect, nor know about Wu Tianxiong’s special feelings for Li Jiayin?

”When you see your senior brother, you don’t kneel and pay respects on your own?” Wu Tianxiong was trembling with rage, his eyes cold as frost as he glared fiercely at Xu Wendong.

He had already decided that he had to properly teach this guy a lesson today.

Otherwise, how would he be able to stand in the Heavenly Nether Sect in the future?

How would he make the other Disciples continue to fear and respect him?

”Does the Heavenly Nether Sect have such a rule?” Xu Wendong said with a strange look on his face, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The Heavenly Nether Sect’s rules were strict, but there was no rule that Disciples had to bow and worship every time they met.

Wu Tianxiong making things hard like this was just to ruthlessly suppress Xu Wendong.

Seeing Xu Wendong so tactless, Wu Tianxiong’s face instantly darkened, and his anger flared up with a whoosh.

”Junior brother, you really don’t understand the rules!”

”In front of Jiayin, what’s with all that pulling and tugging between you two?”

”She not understanding is one thing, but how can you also be so muddle‑headed?”

”What’s more, today you even insulted my master—this is a blatant act of defiance!” Wu Tianxiong’s eyes bulged with fury as he glared viciously at Xu Wendong, as if flames were about to spurt from his eyes.

He suddenly raised his hand, that palm drawing a sharp arc through the air as it whipped toward Xu Wendong’s face, so fast it brought up a whistling gust of wind.

”Today I’ll reward you with a slap—take it as a warning!” he ground out, his voice dripping with anger and disdain.

Wu Tianxiong had infused this slap with Soul Power; he had absolutely no intention of holding back.

With this one slap, he would definitely leave Xu Wendong severely injured.

As that palm, wrapped in fierce wind, howled toward him, Xu Wendong narrowed his eyes, a trace of cold light flashing within them like a blade in the winter night.

His body didn’t move, but at the critical moment, he shot out his hand like lightning and clamped tightly onto Wu Tianxiong’s wrist with perfect precision.

Bang!

With a loud boom, a powerful burst of Soul Power rippled out from the two of them as the center, and the surrounding Yin Energy instantly churned like a surging black tide.

A howling gale swept over, making the clothes of the Disciples around them flap wildly and their hair whip about.

The many Disciples present were all stunned stupid, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

”He... he caught it?”

”Are you kidding me? He actually caught Senior Brother Wu Tianxiong’s hand?”

”No way, what realm is this guy at?”
