"Yes! Today's treatment is crucial, but Xue'er, have you even considered your age? Are you really going to worry your mom and me until we're old?" Huang Shijie felt indignant. Today, the scions of Yuanguang City's prominent families with deep roots were all present. Missing this opportunity could mean it would be very difficult to mingle with them in the future. "Dad! How much longer are you going to play dumb? I already have someone I like, and in this lifetime, I will only marry him!" Huang Xue roared, her eyes reddening. "You bastard!" Grinding his teeth, Huang Shijie couldn't fathom what sins he had committed to have raised such a daughter. Watching the black silhouette leave, Xia Liu finally looked up. He felt relieved; had he not come this time, Huang Xue would surely have had a hard time, and seeing her later, he would only have regretted it more. "Dear nephews, my daughter has just come back and may not be used to everything. Please be more accommodating." After Huang Xue left, Huang Shijie smiled and soothed the younger generation below. "Uncle Shijie, Xue'er just came back, of course, she needs some time to adjust. The most important thing now is to treat the old man." Pan Long averted his gaze from Huang Xue and, with a smile, responded to Huang Shijie. "Right, Uncle Shijie, don't be too anxious. Xue'er must have her own plans." ... The other juniors looked at Pan Long, wanting to swallow him whole. Every time Huang Shijie spoke, you always answered first. Isn't that a sign of disrespect to everyone else? But they dared not be too aggressive. The Pan Family's power was extremely strong; only by uniting could their families match the Pan Family's strength. However, they had come today, of course, hoping for a chance. Huang Xue had become well-known in Yuanguang City's high society since she was twenty. Her beauty captivated countless people. To sleep with such a beauty, one would willingly sacrifice ten years of life. Zhang Qingbo didn't respond to Huang Shijie; his gaze fixed intently on Huang Xue, the corners of his mouth slowly forming a sinister smile... In the time before treatment, Huang Shijie let the juniors go first, with the sole purpose of having them interact with his daughter, to foster a closer relationship. As the juniors left the hall, Huang Letian arrived with the advanced doctors. What puzzled Xia Liu, however, was Song Lingzhen and Song Ze were nowhere to be seen. And Huang Letian had brought many security guards with him. "It was him who made my master ill!" As soon as he arrived in the hall, Sun Ce immediately pointed at Xia Liu and angrily accused. "Good! Take this swindler away and hand him over to the police!" At the same time, Huang Letian waved for the security guards to take action. This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. "What happened to Song Lingzhen?" Xia Liu was very alert. Stay updated through empire He had noticed Sun Ce earlier, sitting to the left of Song Lingzhen. "You even dare to call my master by his name! It was you who used crooked ways to befuddle my master and brother!" Remembering the process of assessing Xia Liu, Sun Ce's emotions surged once again. "Everyone quiet down. Letian, explain the situation." Seeing the security guards were about to intervene, Huang Shijie, as the Huang Family's acting head, naturally wanted to understand the details. "Uncle Shijie, here's what happened: this young man used evil arts to bewitch Divine Doctor Song and his disciple, and that's how he passed the examination." "Boss Huang, you must seek justice for my master. This fraudster drugged my master, causing him to be mentally unclear, and in his agitation, his chronic condition flared up. He's now outside receiving treatment!" Huang Letian and Sun Ce took turns detailing the events. "Ah! Divine Doctor Song's chronic condition has flared up! Quick, arrest him!" Hearing this news, Huang Shijie panicked. Apart from Song Lingzhen, there might be no one else in the world who could cure his father's strange illness. If the Divine Doctor couldn't make it today due to some mishap, then this event would have no meaning whatsoever. Xia Liu shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that Divine Doctor Song really was something else, getting sick from excitement, yet still so tough. Since it was a misunderstanding, he didn't mind being escorted out by the security guards. After watching the security guards take Xia Liu away, Huang Letian and Sun Ce exchanged glances, their expressions gradually becoming more colorful. "Brothers, this doesn't seem like the way to the front gate," Xia Liu said, noticing the direction was off as they walked, and couldn't help but question it. "Shut the hell up and keep moving!" one of the security guards snapped impatiently. Xia Liu glanced ahead where there was a lush garden area and frowned deeply. The moment Xia Liu set foot in the garden, a powerful murderous intent surged toward him from behind. Xia Liu's reaction was incredibly fast, and as he turned around, his hand was also swiftly moving into action. In the blink of an eye, only the tips of Xia Liu's fingers could be seen pressed against the forehead of the security guard behind him. Less than three inches from his belly, a dagger halted in its forward trajectory. Uh uh uh... The guard holding the dagger murmured, then collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with blood, now unable to close forever. This sudden scene left the other security guards in shock. So one by one they drew their hidden daggers from their waists. "Who sent you to kill me?" Xia Liu couldn't understand; he had just arrived in Yuanguang City, so why would someone want to assassinate him? "Talking to a dead man is even stupider than playing the lute to a cow!" "If you want to know, go ask King Yan in the Underworld!" As the vicious words fell, several security guards sprang into action. Wielding their daggers, they were determined to kill Xia Liu in one fell swoop. Xia Liu scanned the men rushing toward him, the killing intent slowly rising within him. He always abided by the rule of not offending others unless he was offended first, but today he was inexplicably targeted. In that case, there was only one option left: to kill! To handle these security guards, Xia Liu didn't even bother to use his Cultivation Technique; he relied only on his own powerful strength and speed. Swinging his hand, he aimed a chop at one of the approaching men. Thud! As his palm came down, a sound like a gong being struck echoed. It was the sound of several bones shattering at the same time! After taking out one man, Xia Liu stepped forward, zigzagging through the remaining assailants with extreme speed. In less than five seconds, Xia Liu had left the garden, and behind him, seven or eight corpses lay quietly on the ground. Looking up at the manor a kilometer away, Xia Liu's eyes slowly reddened. In the past, he wouldn't take petty squabbles seriously, but today was different! After rooting out the assassin behind the attack today, they must be killed! Over Huanglong City, dark clouds began to gather, casting a shadow over a small villa; everyone felt incredibly oppressed, as if there was a breath in their chest that they couldn't exhale. By now, many people had already gathered at the entrance of the villa: the ten individuals led by Mu Hua who had advanced earlier, and the nine that Sun Ce had brought in later. "Doctor Sun, what should we do now?" Huang Shijie panicked upon hearing that Song Lingzhen might not make it in time. If Divine Doctor Song wasn't there today, his father would surely have no hope.
