Shen Youling had not yet hung up the phone, so the aide heard Lin Tang's remarks clearly.
He was unable to contain his fury. "Lin Tang, you dare to run away? If anything happens to President Xiao because of your delay, you will be dead for sure, even if you flee to the ends of the earth!"
"Listen to that. Even now, all he can do is threaten . Either way, it's death for . If I can have Xiao Xuanye accompany , it's not a loss," Lin Tang said with a smile. Before the aide could nag any further, he reached over, snatched Shen Youling's phone, and turned it off.
"Chen Yuyan, you'd better pray for your own good fortune." He turned off his own phone as well.
"Hello? Hello!" Chen Yuyan was dumbstruck. This guy's dical skills are incredible; he could surely save President Xiao. Why is he so disloyal!
Chen Shanchun sighed bitterly and hypothesized, "Previously, Lin Tang must have combined his dical arts with his martial skills to achieve an effect greater than the sum of its parts. Now that his martial arts have been crippled, his dical skills alone might not be that strong. It's understandable that he lacks confidence."
"So that's how it is!" Chen Yuyan said, feeling dejected.
The aide felt there was so truth to this and no longer held out hope for Lin Tang. He urged his subordinates to invite other doctors. Many doctors had attended this celebration, aside from the dical Immortal Sect and the Xuanhu dical Pavilion. They were originally here to treat the black mark on Shen Youling's face, but perhaps one of them was a top-tier expert capable of treating President Xiao.
Moreover, only Hong Yuanfei from the dical Immortal Sect was seriously injured. Among his entourage, there might be others with excellent dical skills. That's right, Zhuo Renxiang from the dical Immortal Sect was also in Jiangbei. Invite them all imdiately! If they could cure President Xiao, they would be handsoly rewarded. If they couldn't, all the doctors would suffer the consequences!
Thousands of guests had attended the ceremony. Now, as they left, they all made calls to share the gossip. As a result, the bombshell that "Xiao Xuanye was seriously injured by Long Tianji's three punches" spread rapidly throughout Central Earth.
The entire nation was shocked. Xiao Bubai could actually be defeated?! Just who in the world was this Long Tianji?
「The True Martial Association」
The mbers all sucked in a sharp breath. Huangfu Zhan's martial arts were crippled and Wei Shanhe's wounds had yet to heal. The entire association was severely weakened, a shadow of its forr self. They had neither the qualifications nor the desire to attend President Xiao's ceremony. In fact, they were worried President Xiao might redirect his anger and bla toward them. After all, Lu Liangfei and Yu Tianshun had gone to Villa No. 1 to expel Lin Tang, and had incidentally kicked out Shen Youling as well. Not to ntion Wei Shanhe had once nearly killed Shen Qiushi and had boasted about erasing the Shen Family from Jiangbei... If he decided to dredge up old scores, a single word from President Xiao could annihilate them completely.
When they heard that President Xiao had been injured by soone nad Long Tianji, they were floored.
"Oh my God!"
"Could this Long Tianji be that senior who was fishing?"
"He's terrifying!"
"Fortunately, last ti he only taught a lesson to that crew from the Star Evil Group and spared us..."
"If only this Senior Long would take us under his wing."
"What nonsense are you talking about? He's a being high above us. In his eyes, we're nothing but ants. How could he possibly take us in?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe he'll take a liking to us..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, their minds unable to settle for a long ti. However, they failed to notice Wei Zichu, whose mouth had fallen slightly open and had remained that way for so ti.
Holy crap! Big Brother Lin is that terrifying! Even President Xiao is no match for him? Is he even human? He's so young… She was beyond thrilled, filled with admiration. Hearing everyone's discussion, her feelings beca complicated. The True Martial Association used to have a great relationship with Big Brother Lin, but they had turned it sour. Take you under his wing? My foot! If they knew that Big Brother Lin is Long Tianji, I wonder how deep their regret would be?
「The Star Evil Group」
Zhao Xinghe gasped repeatedly. He had already held this Senior Long in extrely high regard, but he had still underestimated him. The man had utterly crushed Xiao Xuanye. He was likely just one step away from the realm of a Heavenly King!
I'm lucky he spared my life... Zhao Xinghe was both terrified and relieved. Then, he sneered. Perhaps I can use him as a borrowed knife to get my revenge! If I was willing to lead Long Tianji to the hidden Zhao Family's stronghold to seize the Contemplative Diagram, wouldn't the two parties end up in a dog-eat-dog fight?
「anwhile」
Zhuo Renxiang, who only knew dicine and not martial arts, was also old and very cautious. He would not choose to confront Lin Tang personally until he had been captured and fed the sect's unique control poison. Therefore, he hadn't gone to join the excitent at President Xiao's recognition ceremony.
When he saw a group of people carrying back Hong Yuanfei, who was in a miserable state, Zhuo Renxiang was aghast. "What happened?"
Could President Xiao have done this? That shouldn't be. President Xiao clearly looked down on Lin Tang and nearly killed the kid. Why would he make an enemy of the dical Immortal Sect for his sake?
When Zhuo Renxiang found out Long Tianji was responsible, he was furious. Why have I been hit with such an unwarranted disaster? Vice Sect Leader Hong Yongqun only has this one precious son. When he learns his son has been crippled, he'll surely take his anger out on ! What do I do? What do I do?
Zhuo Renxiang looked panicked and considered escaping, but he too had the dical Immortal Sect's control poison in his system. If he didn't periodically take the temporary antidote, his body would fester until he died. Just as he was at a complete loss, one of President Xiao's n arrived with an invitation.
Hmm? If I can cure President Xiao, he might help plead with the Vice Sect Leader. Maybe I'll be fine! Zhuo Renxiang's eyes lit up, and he imdiately set out.
When he arrived, he saw a familiar face.
"Eh, Chief Chen?"
"It's Master Zhuo!"
The two had dealt with each other before. When Zhuo Renxiang saw that Chen Shanchun was restrained, even handcuffed, his heart skipped a beat. This—
After examining the comatose Xiao Xuanye, he cried out in distress. His injuries are this severe? Who could possibly save him now?
The aide had initially been very hopeful, but seeing his timid deanor, his expression imdiately darkened. "What, you can't do anything either?"
"I..." Staring at the weapon pressed against his forehead, Zhuo Renxiang burst into tears.
Soon, the other doctors had all arrived. They lined up to diagnose Xiao Xuanye, but every one of them was helpless.
"Useless, all of you are useless!" the aide raged, wishing he could gun them all down.
Seeing Xiao Xuanye's breathing weaken, on the verge of dying at any mont, he had no choice but to seek help from an elder in the capital. The elder was equally furious. He ordered an investigation into Long Tianji and arranged for the fastest flight to dispatch the best doctors to Jiangbei.
After so thought, he also contacted Guo Jufeng from the Iron Blood Camp, one of the nine major camps, instructing him to personally guard Xiao Xuanye and prevent any villains from taking advantage of his weakness. If a pillar of the nation like Xiao Xuanye was assassinated while in a coma, it would be a tragic irony!
Upon hearing the news, Guo Jufeng was also startled. But then, his anger gave way to a laugh. "So there's a Grandmaster in this world we've never even heard of? Good, good, good. I'd like to et him and see whose fists are harder—his, or my palms!" With that, he swiftly gathered his n and hurried to Jiangbei.
So of the ancient hidden families were truly reclusive, but others retained influence in the secular world to gather important information and avoid being completely in the dark. Of course, they were all too familiar with Xiao Xuanye's fa. He was one of Central Earth's stabilizing forces, who kept even them from acting recklessly. He was brutally defeated? And so severely injured he was on the brink of death? While shocked, they also clapped their hands in glee. He got what he deserved!
Although Mu Jiuzhou had withdrawn all his pawns, he still retained a small number of informants. When the news reached him, he roared with laughter. "This Long Tianji has indirectly done a great favor! With Xiao Xuanye, that attack dog, gravely injured, he won't have the energy to hunt us down... Hmph, strike him while he's down. This is the perfect opportunity to eliminate him once and for all!"
And so, he decisively dispatched the strongest assassin he had cultivated to finish off Xiao Xuanye.
From adopting a daughter to being gravely injured, the small city of Jiangbei had suddenly beco the nation's focal point. The situation was in flux.
anwhile, Lin Tang, the cause of the uproar, had made off with Shen Youling. They had already left the Jiangbei area. It was getting late, and Lee Encai was yawning continuously, exhausted from driving. Shen Youling was still in her gorgeous formal gown and high heels, which were not suitable for driving, and hadn't had a chance to change.
Lin Tang suddenly realized they were passing the lake where he had first t her. He told Lee Encai to pull over by the lakeside to rest and, at the sa ti, revisit the old spot.
After Shen Youling got out of the car, she gazed at the shimring surface of the lake, which reflected the magnificent, star-strewn sky. She recalled jumping into the lake to commit suicide, only to be saved by Lin Tang. And then... a blush crept onto her cheeks, and she shot him a fierce glare.
Lin Tang grinned and explained the place's significance to Lee Encai.
"Ah? So that's how you two t!" Lee Encai said, finally understanding. No wonder Shen Youling had suddenly flash-married Lin Tang. Who would have thought... "That quack was horrible, telling you that you had a terminal illness. But I guess he did you two a favor in the end," she mused.
Shen Youling had t Lin Tang just one step ahead of her. If I had been the one to encounter him first, I might have been the one getting a marriage certificate with him. Not like now, with no official title or status, feeling like the other woman.
Lin Tang didn't notice her delicate thoughts. "Aren't you tired? Go get so sleep. Youling and I will take a walk by the lake."
Without waiting for Shen Youling to refuse, he pulled her along. As they walked, he sighed with emotion. "This sight, this mont, is just too beautiful. Seeing such a beautiful landscape, I feel like I'm about to have another breakthrough... Honey, why don't we try Dual Cultivation here again? I might just succeed!"
Hearing his winking, sly suggestion, Shen Youling was speechless. Do you take for a fool?! You think I'd fall for such a la lie?!
She wrenched her hand away from his wandering one. Before he could shalessly reach for her again, she suddenly asked, "Lin Tang, you don't know how to drive, and Lee Encai wasn't in the car earlier. After you knocked unconscious, how did you drive the car away?"
"Uh—" Lin Tang froze.
Lee Encai, who hadn't gone to sleep yet, heard this too. Shoot! Youling found a flaw! It looks like we can't hide Big Brother Lin's identity any longer!
