FVN Chapter 59 The Grand Birthday
Chapter 59 The Grand Birthday
Three days swiftly passed.
Since arriving in Gusu City, Ye Ling had enjoyed three rare days of peace.
Following the Shen Gang incident, the ranks of the Medicine God Sect had completely changed, and several Family Heads were wary, daring not to provoke Ye Ling any further.
In these three days, Ye Ling took Su Rou around Gusu City for sightseeing, accompanied by Family Head Hu.
A bright smile constantly graced Su Rou's face, clearly showing that she was very happy during these three days.
On this day, Family Head Zhao celebrated his eightieth birthday, inviting all the dignitaries of Gusu City.
The gates of the Zhao family estate were wide open, awaiting the arrival of all guests.
Under Ye Ling's instruction, Family Head Hu had spent these three days thoroughly investigating the Zhao family, leaving no stone unturned.
Before they set out, Family Head Hu came to the villa to find Ye Ling.
"Divine Doctor Ye, I've just received news that the Zhao family is very likely founded by descendants of the Xuanmen!" Family Head Hu said gravely.
Xuanmen, a sect that cultivates only internal strength and not external exercises.
Similar to the Witch Sect and the Cult of Shadowy Yin, it is one of the powerful sects lurking among the populace!
Unlike the aforementioned two villainous sects, the reputation of Xuanmen was much better!
Through their unique breathing and meditative techniques, Xuanmen cultivated a number of formidable experts!
Although Xuanmen had many strong adherents, their sect rules were strict, so it was rare to hear of Xuanmen people committing misdeeds!
"Is this information reliable?"
Ye Ling frowned and asked.
A mere family from Gusu City, not only was it involved with the Witch Sect, but now it also drew in the Xuanmen!
Family Head Hu nodded solemnly and said, "This information came from a younger member of my Hu family who is on good terms with a junior of the Zhao family; it was learned inadvertently!"
"According to that junior from the Zhao family, they have retained a set of Xuanmen's breathing and meditation techniques and even have connections with people within Xuanmen!"
Ye Ling nodded, not asking any further.
Let it be Xuanmen then. If they dared to meddle in his affairs with the Zhao family, even if the Sect Leader of Xuanmen himself came, it would be to no avail!
"Let's go, it's time to deliver the 'gift' we prepared for Family Head Zhao!"
Seeing that Ye Ling did not pursue the matter with Xuanmen further, Family Head Hu naturally did not speak more of it.
As for the 'gift' Ye Ling mentioned, a trace of worry appeared on Family Head Hu's face.
"Master Ye Ling has arrived!"
Just as Family Head Zhao turned around, a booming voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing that Ye Ling had arrived, many of the guests who had already entered the Zhao family's compound showed puzzled expressions.
"Who is this Ye Ling? Do we have such a person in Gusu City?"
Someone inquired doubtfully about Ye Ling's identity.
There were also those who knew of Ye Ling's identity who spoke up, "You don't know about Divine Doctor Ye Ling?"
"It's said that it was only after Divine Doctor Ye Ling made a move that Family Head Hu, who had been poisoned by a Gu, was cured!"
"However, this Divine Doctor Ye Ling is known for his eccentric character. I heard that even a Family Head who was willing to offer half of his fortune to have him treat a patient was refused by him!"
Hearing this, many of the guests who didn't know about someone like Ye Ling showed surprised expressions. Read new chapters at empire
Half of one's fortune!
None of those Family Heads poisoned by Gu had a net worth of less than fifty billion!
Half of one's fortune would be twenty-five billion!
Twenty-five billion and still unable to move Divine Doctor Ye Ling to act!
For a moment, everyone was full of curiosity about this Divine Doctor Ye Ling they had yet to meet.
Accompanied by Ye Jiu and Family Head Hu, Ye Ling arrived in front of Family Head Zhao.
"Ye Ling, you dare to come to my Zhao family?"
Family Head Zhao said in a low voice.
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows, curiously responding, "What do you mean by that, Family Head Zhao?"
"I came with good intentions to wish you a happy birthday, and you welcome me like this? Don't tell me the Zhao family's way of hosting guests is like this?"
Family Head Zhao's brow furrowed slightly and he coldly said, "I'd advise you not to pull any tricks! Otherwise, you won't leave the Zhao family alive today!"
"Heh, Family Head Zhao, you really have quite the narrow measure," Ye Ling chuckled lightly, then turned his head towards Ye Jiu, saying, "Go get the birthday gift I prepared for Family Head Zhao and bring it here!"
At those words, Ye Jiu turned and walked away.
Family Head Zhao's face was full of puzzlement—could it be that Ye Ling wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with him?
Hmph! You crippled my son's limbs; it won't be so easy to make amends just because you want to.
Family Head Zhao watched Ye Ling with cold eyes, harboring a murderous intent inside his heart!
