Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City

Chapter 1365 1362: Danger and Opportunity Coexist!

Zhu Ruoling stared unblinkingly, lost in thought.

"Miss Zhu? Miss Zhu!" Lan Zhengqing called softly twice, finally bringing Zhu Ruoling back to reality.

"Ah… What… What's wrong, Brother Zhengqing…" Zhu Ruoling's eyes were flustered, she quickly lowered her head to cover up, fearing that he would realize she was looking at Lin Fan's back.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing… nothing… This ant deserved his fate, now he's in our Fire Clan's prison, probably doomed. The shame he brought upon me has been avenged!"

Zhu Ruoling forced a smile, but for some reason felt discontent. It wasn't that Lin Fan wasn't killed by her own hand, but that he seemed to reside in her heart, and his sudden departure left her feeling empty.

This unclear, ambiguous feeling made her quite irritated.

"Hmm! This ant humiliated you, he deserved death. But are you really okay? Just now you…"

"Just now it was a misunderstanding! I thought… thought he was you… which is why I… I…"

Zhu Ruoling's cheeks turned rosy, her head slightly bowed in shyness.

Lan Zhengqing smiled lightly, lifting the hair that covered Zhu Ruoling's forehead, saying, "So, originally you intended that for me…"

Zhu Ruoling hadn't expected Lan Zhengqing to say such things, her heart raced, and she hurriedly raised her head, waving her hands, "No, no, no… Brother Zhengqing… It's not that… I really didn't mean that…"

"It's alright." A flash of disappointment passed through Lan Zhengqing's eyes as he sighed gently.

Zhu Ruoling pursed her lips, saying no more, yet she couldn't bring herself to meet Lan Zhengqing's eyes.

As Lan Zhengqing turned away, she cautiously glanced outside Changwen Hall, but Lin Fan was already nowhere to be seen.

She blinked, feeling a sense of loss.

Zhu Sui watched Lin Fan leave Changwen Hall, his tense body finally relaxing, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned back to look at Gong Wenya with a solemn expression and smiled slightly.

"High Priest, this ant isn't worth getting angry over. For now, let's lock him in the prison, and deal with him later. Even if he's imprisoned for life, it doesn't matter."

"The Clan Leader has considered it thoroughly, let's proceed as you say." Gong Wenya nodded, but his expression turned somewhat grim.

"Regarding Gong Gaoyi's matter, I will definitely investigate thoroughly. If my own son is involved, I will not spare him." Zhu Sui said respectfully.

"Then I'll leave it to the Clan Leader. I'm also tired, never expected such a farce, so I'll take my leave." Gong Wenya said indifferently, not even glancing at Zhu Sui, and gestured to Xu Tianrui.

"Let's go."

Leaving behind these two words, he walked slowly out of Changwen Hall.

Xu Tianrui spat viciously, glared at Zhu Qilue, and led the Red Cloud Army out of Changwen Hall grandly.

"Farewell High Priest!"

"Farewell High Priest!"

Calls rang out in Changwen Hall, with everyone bowing respectfully until Gong Wenya exited the hall before standing up.

In the next moment.

Changwen Hall came alive again, everyone was chatting and laughing, discussing Lin Fan's situation, some shocked that he survived the High Priest's oppression, some mocking his boast of killing Lao Qiu, others debating why Zhu Qilue brought such a troublesome person to the Five Elements Realm.

Everyone was gossiping, paying no mind to Zhu Sui.

With the Clan Leader still present, they dared to be so unruly and noisy, even though Zhu Sui had just erupted in anger. These people clearly didn't respect him.

The reason they were as quiet as chickens earlier was solely because Gong Wenya was present.

"Zhu Qilue, come here!"

Zhu Sui took a deep breath and yelled angrily at Zhu Qilue.

Zhu Qilue slowly approached, standing in front of Zhu Sui with a complex expression.

"What are you doing bringing such a guy to the Five Elements Realm, are you trying to get him killed or yourself killed!"

Zhu Sui shouted furiously, nearly raising his hand to slap Zhu Qilue twice.

Zhu Qilue, with his head lowered, said nothing, his brows furrowed.

"He's caused such a huge mess now, actually killed Gong Gaoyi! What do you want me to do, what should I say?! Now Gong Wenya will think you instructed him! You're just… just…"

Zhu Sui was so enraged his face turned ashen, raising his hand, ready to smack Zhu Qilue's face.

Yet he ultimately lowered it, sighing helplessly.

"Gong Wenya will surely hold a grudge over Gong Gaoyi's death. Don't you know what kind of person he is? Don't you know what he can do? Do you think he'd care about an ant? I can tell you now, impossible, he just wants to use this opportunity to get rid of you, and get rid of me!"

"You're really useless, garbage is garbage!"

Zhu Qilue said nothing throughout, when he saw Lin Fan kill Gong Gaoyi, shock and fear far outweighed excitement and agitation.

At that moment, he thought only of Gong Wenya's revenge and became utterly terrified.

However.

Lin Fan's words freed him from fear, if not faced now, he'd never dare face it anytime.

In the next moment!

Zhu Qilue suddenly lifted his head, glaring straight at Zhu Sui.

"Father, opportunities only appear amidst danger. Now you think everything is over, that Gong Wenya will use this chance to eliminate us, eliminate the Zhu Family. But have you considered, this might also be an opportunity, we can use Lin Fan to eliminate the Gong Family."

Saying this was extremely risky because he didn't know what Zhu Sui thought, if enraged, he feared he'd be beaten mercilessly.

Possibly beaten to death!

But these words kept circling his mind, needing to be spoken, couldn't contain them!

He didn't care what Zhu Sui's expression was, now was the best opportunity, he brought Lin Fan to the Five Elements Realm for this reason.

If this opportunity isn't seized, things would become even more difficult!

Gong Wenya has wanted to eliminate the Zhu Family not just for a day or two, previously he was restrained, now he openly ignores them.

Lin Fan's arrival might turn the tide of this one-sided situation.

Actually.

In his heart, Zhu Qilue was somewhat guilty because at that time he told Lin Fan coming to the Five Elements Realm was for cultivation, just solving a minor problem.

But.

He hid the ultimate purpose of Gong Wenya, equivalent to using and deceiving Lin Fan.

"What are you saying?!"

As expected, Zhu Sui's voice intensified, roaring out in anger, his cheeks twitching viciously.

"Father, that's the reality, it's both a danger and an opportunity. Opportunities coexist with risks, depends on how you choose. To sink or rise!"

Zhu Sui listened, and suddenly raised his hand.

Zhu Qilue's heart skipped a beat, he closed his eyes helplessly. Seems like father has made a choice…

Slap!

Zhu Sui's hand landed on Zhu Qilue's shoulder, then heavily patted twice.

"Lad, you've grown up."

Zhu Sui's words made Zhu Qilue pause, he quickly opened his eyes, seeing Zhu Sui's smiling face.

"This is indeed an opportunity, we must use it to eliminate the Gong Family! Moreover, not only you understand, that lad seems to have grasped my intention, rather cooperative."

"Ah? Wh… What do you mean?"

Feeling utterly puzzled, Zhu Qilue scratched his head blankly. Does father have some deal with Lin Fan?! Yet under the High Priest's eyes all the time, he saw, nothing was done…
