Xu Shao had spoken bluntly, indicating that the stakes had escalated beyond a simple bet.
Everyone looked at Su Yang with mocking eyes. This ti, wasn’t he as good as dead?
Wu Xiyue leaned against Yang Lihua, giggling, "Brother Yang, you are really amazing. If you hadn’t spoken up like that, we might have truly been deceived by this bastard."
Yang Lihua smiled faintly, "Such petty tricks, daring to perform them in front of , is simply asking for trouble!"
"That’s why I said Brother Yang is incredible!" Wu Xiyue was ecstatic.
Wu Chuanyang stood in the distance with a look of helplessness and anger. Taking the opportunity when Yang Lihua was arranging the Yang Family mbers, he pulled Wu Xiyue aside and said urgently, "Xiyue, how can you do this? The Su Brothers, after all, are with us, you ... how can you plot against him like this?"
"Brother, don’t spout nonsense. Are we that close to him?" Wu Xiyue said coldly, "Besides, he wanted to deceive my friend. How could I agree to that? If I just turn a blind eye, wouldn’t that be utterly unreasonable?"
"And who is your friend now?" Wu Chuanyang said indignantly.
"Xu Shao!" Wu Xiyue laughed, "A friend I just made. Didn’t you see how nice he’s been to ?"
Wu Chuanyang nearly choked with frustration, "Is that him being nice to you? That’s because of Yang Lihua’s influence. Also, as a young lady, can’t you show a little restraint? How long have you known Yang Lihua to be this affectionate with him?"
"Brother, aren’t you being a bit old-fashioned? What era is it now? And besides, Brother Yang is a really nice guy!" Wu Xiyue winked and whispered, "Who knows, maybe I will marry into the Yang Family soday, and then auntie won’t dare to act so arrogantly in front of us..."
"You..." Wu Chuanyang was so angry he couldn’t find the words, and it took a while before he indignantly retorted, "I don’t care about your personal matters, but Su Yang is my friend, and you can’t set him up like this!"
"Brother, with so many people here, why make friends with soone like him?" Wu Xiyue said, "Didn’t you see? He belongs to that Master Su, a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to hit here. You’re so close to him, how am I supposed to explain it to my friends?"
"What friends do you have? They’re nothing but a bunch of fair-weather friends, for a few minutes, and you think they really treat you like a friend!" Wu Chuanyang said with outrage.
"You really are sothing, Brother. Why do you have to be so extre in the way you think?" Wu Xiyue waved her hand dismissively, "Forget it, I won’t waste words with you. Brother Yang has promised to ask the Divine Physicians on the mountain to help treat Grandma. Don’t get involved in this, and better yet, don’t speak at all. If you anger Brother Yang and he refuses to help us, can you bear the consequences for Grandma’s situation?"
Wu Chuanyang was filled with indignation but ultimately didn’t dare to speak any further, only shaking his head in frustration.
The group ascended the mountain. Along the way, these young masters and mistresses conversed animatedly, occasionally hurling insults at Master Su or Su Yang. They behaved as if they were invincible. As for the people from Pingnan Province and Pingbei Province, they were completely disregarded and out of their consideration.
Jeang Zier trembled with anger, but since Su Yang didn’t speak up, she couldn’t say anything either.
As for Su Yang, he spent the entire journey observing the ice coffin containing Old Yang, paying no mind to the others.
This led the crowd to believe Su Yang was completely cowed, not daring to say a word, and so their taunts grew even more intense.
After crossing the mountaintop, the group finally arrived at Hidden Dragon Valley, the location of the dical Saint Sect.
By now, many people had gathered at the dical Saint Sect, naturally, all there to attend the Divine Physician Conference.
Sects like the Divine Farr Sect, there were over a dozen in total. Jeang Zier had briefed Su Yang along the way about them, including dicine God Valley, Divine Hand Sect, Rejuvenation Hall, Imperial Physician Sect, and the like.
The Divine Farr Sect – among these sects – was a re ordinary existence.
Actually, these sects used to be formidable, but various reasons had led to the interruption of their inheritances.
The dical Saint Sect and the other sects were no different. However, they had suddenly risen recently, as if they had reclaid their past inheritances. That’s why the dical Saint Sect stood out among them.
Upon Yang Lihua’s arrival, he imdiately communicated with the dical Saint Sect mbers, who ca out and took Old Yang’s ice coffin inside.
The other wealthy young attendees obediently entered the hall, with no one to welco them. Compared to the Yang Family, they indeed amounted to nothing.
Su Yang followed the crowd into the grand hall where the Divine Physician Conference had already begun.
Elder Jeang led the mbers of the Divine Farr Sect to seats at the back while the dical Saint Sect’s mbers sat in the main seats.
At the center was the Sect Leader Gongye Xuan of the dical Saint Sect. Elders Hua and Yue were seated not far behind him. Both elders looked sowhat listless, especially Elder Hua, who being advanced in years, had endured a rough journey when captured by the dical Saint Sect.
Moreover, the mbers of the dical Saint Sect showed no respect for Elders Hua and Yue. Even though they had brought them here, they were locked in rooms, and not going hungry was considered fortunate.
Su Yang stood among the crowd, not in a hurry to make his presence known. He sensed the presence of the Three-faced God Monarch sowhere within the dical Saint Sect, but without being able to pinpoint his exact location, he refrained from acting rashly.
"Alright, now that nearly everyone is here, let’s skip the superfluous talk," Gongye Xuan announced loudly, "The reason for inviting you all here has already been communicated. Presently, the inheritances of each of the Great Sects have been mostly lost, and our forr glory is gone. As a result, dical sects like ours are overlooked by the Great Sects, existing almost in obscurity."
"To revitalize the dical sects and also ensure that our fellow colleagues no longer face discrimination, the dical Saint Sect proposes the establishnt of the Divine Physicians Alliance starting today."
Gongye Xuan scanned the audience, proclaiming, "The so-called Divine Physicians Alliance involves us uniting together – a single force. We’ll share our sects’ secret manuals and treasures by placing them in the Divine Physicians Alliance for everyone to access."
"Although each of our sects has little inheritance left, the combined inheritance will enable us to reclaim our past glory! From now on, the Divine Physicians Alliance need not cater to anyone. On the contrary, it is they who will co to us seeking assistance!"
Hearing this, Gongye Xuan smiled slightly, asking, "What are your thoughts?"
As soon as the words fell, soone imdiately responded, "I support Sect Leader Gongye!"
