Medical and Martial God

Chapter 290: Turn Yourself In, You Monster

Ye Xiu looked up at the sound of the voice. The person approaching was none other than Zhang Lulu, the girl he had met at the coffee shop for an arranged date. Dressed in a black evening gown with delicate makeup, she could still be considered a beauty, but her arrogant and condescending attitude made her utterly unlikable.

"I’m talking to you. What are you doing here?" Zhang Lulu walked up to him, her tone dripping with disdain and mockery. "The Dynasty Clubhouse has been exclusively booked by the Bao Family for the evening. There’s a high-end business reception tonight, and only the most prominent figures from Qi Yun Dao are attending. What’s a pauper like you doing here?"

Ye Xiu couldn’t be bothered with her and headed straight for the clubhouse entrance.

Zhang Lulu hurried after him, fuming. "Hey, what’s wrong with you? It’s one thing to be poor, but to have no manners at all? It’s no wonder you’re a pauper."

Seeing that Ye Xiu was still ignoring her, she quickened her pace and blocked his path. "Stop right there! Do you really think I won’t have security throw you out?"

Ye Xiu frowned, looking at Zhang Lulu with disgust. "Go home and kowtow to your parents. Thank them for creating someone as repulsive as you. If you possessed even a shred of normalcy, I would have already slapped you so hard you’d forget your own name."

With that, he unceremoniously pushed her aside and continued toward the Dynasty Clubhouse entrance.

"You! You called me crazy at the coffee shop, and you’re insulting me again now!" Zhang Lulu shrieked as she chased him. "If I don’t teach you a lesson tonight, then my name isn’t Zhang Lulu!" At that moment, she looked like a village shrew who had put on an evening gown and makeup to curse someone out in the street.

"Just you wait! I’m going to find someone to smash that filthy mouth of yours!"

"Go turn yourself in to Ultraman, you monster," Ye Xiu retorted. He had reached the entrance of the Dynasty Clubhouse, where he had to wait for Xia Zhiwei, making it impossible to escape Zhang Lulu.

"You..." Zhang Lulu was so furious she felt lightheaded. She spun around and yelled at the security guard at the entrance, "You, get over here and smash his mouth in for me!"

The security guard ignored her. Put on the spot and unable to back down, Zhang Lulu grew even angrier and was about to lash out at the guard.

"Sis, what are you shouting about?" an inquisitive voice called out just then.

Ye Xiu found the voice familiar and turned to look. A middle-aged couple and a young man were approaching. When he saw the young man, Ye Xiu was left speechless.

Zhang Hong? This guy is actually Zhang Lulu’s brother?

Ye Xiu had met Zhang Hong once before. During the Marrow Cleansing Pill auction in Jin Ye City, Zhang Hong had been showing off in a coffee shop before Ye Xiu beat him up and threw him out.

"Zhang Hong, get over here and smash his foul mouth!" Zhang Lulu ordered, her demeanor immediately shifting to one of arrogance now that her family had arrived to back her up.

"Who’s bullying you again?" Zhang Hong walked over, but he froze when he saw Ye Xiu, his expression quickly twisting into a mask of fury. "You?"

Zhang Lulu was taken aback. "You know him?" Her parents exchanged confused glances, puzzled as to why their son also knew the person who had angered their daughter.

"It’s more than just knowing him," Zhang Hong said through gritted teeth. "When Dad sent me to Jin Ye City for the Marrow Cleansing Pill auction, he was the one who beat me up and threw me out! He even threatened me to never set foot in Jin Ye City again."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong’s parents’ gazes turned sharp.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go smash his mouth in!" Zhang Lulu urged.

The corner of Zhang Hong’s mouth twitched. "I can’t beat him. Back at the coffee shop, he ordered Song Penghui, the Sect Leader of the Vajra Sect from Jin Ye City, to kill Cui Tianhao in public..."

What? Zhang Lulu was flabbergasted. So this man has connections in the Ancient Martial Circle!

Her parents, however, were thoroughly unimpressed. Her father, Mr. Zhang, scoffed, "Humph, Song Penghui is a mere Eighth Grade Grandmaster. In the Ancient Martial Circle, his sect is considered third-rate at best. Son, daughter, don’t be upset. I’ll find a Great Grandmaster to break his legs in front of everyone to vent your anger for you."

"I want his mouth smashed!" Zhang Lulu said viciously.

"Alright, alright. I’ll have someone smash his mouth," her father replied dotingly.

Observing this, Ye Xiu finally understood why Zhang Hong and Zhang Lulu were so unruly and arrogant. They had clearly been spoiled rotten by their elders. A fish rots from the head down.

Just then, Bao Longtu and Xu Tingbai walked over.

Mr. Zhang hurried to greet them with a smile. "Mr. Bao, I heard you were unwell and went to the hospital. I haven’t had a chance to visit yet, so I hope you’ll forgive me. But seeing you stride so vigorously now puts my mind at ease."

"You’re too kind, President Zhang!" Bao Longtu replied with a polite smile.

"By the way, Mr. Bao, I’d like to ask Mr. Xu for a small favor, if that’s alright?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"What is it?" Bao Longtu inquired.

"That man over there beat my son in Jin Ye City and was just bullying my daughter," Mr. Zhang explained. "I hear he has some connection to Song Penghui, the Sect Leader of the Vajra Sect. I was hoping Mr. Xu could teach him a lesson for me." He spoke casually, convinced Xu Tingbai would grant such a minor request.

Zhang Hong and Zhang Lulu grew excited. Xu Tingbai was a War God and a titan in the Lingjin Ancient Martial Circle. Smashing Ye Xiu’s mouth would be nothing. Even if he killed Ye Xiu, Song Penghui of the Vajra Sect wouldn’t dare say a word.

Zhang Lulu walked over and added, "Mr. Xu, you don’t have to be too rough. Just smashing his mouth will be enough."

"That won’t do, Sis!" Zhang Hong protested immediately. "I suffered a terrible humiliation in Jin Ye City that day. We have to break both his legs to satisfy the hatred in my heart!"

"Alright, alright, whatever you say!" Mr. Zhang readily agreed. He turned to Xu Tingbai and said, "In that case, Mr. Xu, please break his legs and smash his face. Once it’s done, I will of course reward you handsomely."

The meaning was clear: you rough him up for me, and I’ll pay you well.

However, Bao Longtu and Xu Tingbai ignored them completely, walking over to Ye Xiu with smiles on their faces.

"Divine Doctor Ye, why have you arrived so early? A man of your importance should be making a grand entrance at the end," Mr. Bao joked.

"I only just arrived myself. There are so many people attending tonight, most of whom are my seniors. As a junior, I couldn’t possibly make them wait," Ye Xiu replied courteously.

"Divine Doctor Ye, you are young, yet so humble and patient. It is no accident that you have achieved such success," Xu Tingbai said with admiration.

The four members of the Zhang family stared, completely bewildered by the exchange between Ye Xiu, Bao Longtu, and Xu Tingbai.

"Wait!" Mr. Zhang hurried over, interrupting the conversation. "Mr. Bao... you... what did you call him?"

"He is the Xuanse Medicine King, Ye Xiu," Bao Longtu said with a cold laugh. "The Divine Doctor."

The Zhang family felt as though they had all just been slapped violently across the face. Mr. Zhang nearly burst into tears. He had brought his wife and children to the reception for the sole purpose of currying favor with the Divine Doctor Ye, hoping to ride his coattails to fortune. Yet, before the event had even begun, before they had even set foot inside the Dynasty Clubhouse, they had already offended him.

The man who beat my son in Jin Ye City... was actually Ye Xiu?
