Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 900: Chapter 899: The Strong Wu Wensheng

”Master Su is too kind!” Wu Wensheng quickly bowed, ”A word from you is worth ten years of study. As the ancients say, hearing the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening. For Wu to hear these words from Master Su today, this lifetime is now worthwhile. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have gone to my grave in utter confusion, clutching those so-called truths, truly making a laughingstock of myself!”

Su Yang smiled lightly. Wu Wensheng stood up and turning his head towards those of the family alliance, he declared loudly, ”Ladies and gentlemen, I believe your coming here to the Accumulated Cloud Mountain to complain and seek punishment is utterly without reason. Everything Alliance Leader Su has said is absolutely correct, not dealing with evildoers, there’s no issue with this rule. Alliance Leader Su has not violated medical ethics, much less done anything to disappoint the public!”

Those family members present were dumbfounded. One of the family heads couldn’t help but object, ”Elder Wu, how could you be deceived by his few words? As a doctor, it’s only right and proper to treat illnesses and save people, regardless of whether they are good or evil. Besides, if a person makes a small mistake, does that make them an evildoer deserving to be struck down with one blow? Even for criminals, upon capture, one should treat them first, not take them directly for punishment. What he’s done is completely, arrogantly creating distinctions and ranks among the people of this world!”

Wu Wensheng gave the family head a glance and replied in a cold voice, ”All under heaven are born without built-in rank, yet the people can be discerned by good and evil. Just as Alliance Leader Su stated, we cannot judge people by their wealth, status, or nobility, but we must judge them by their goodness or evil. If you still wish the Divine Physicians Alliance to treat you, then simply refrain from committing evil deeds, isn’t that all? You cannot restrain yourself, yet you complain that others should not act so, and you think you have the reason?!”

At loss for words, the family head stammered and fumed with anger, retorting, ”Wu Wensheng, we invited you to uphold justice. I did not expect you to be nothing more than a fickle fence-sitter. If that is the case, we do not need you to uphold justice anymore. So much for the much-vaunted scholar of the Southern Six Provinces, I see it’s nothing but an old man fishing for fame!”

Wu Wensheng’s face turned icy, and he said coldly, ”Hmph, whether I’m fishing for fame is not for you to judge. As for you, at your age, lacking the respect due to the old, having lived seventy years, and taken thirteen wives, with your current wife younger than your granddaughter. God knows how many mistresses and affairs you have. The amount of tiger and deer penises you buy each year could bankrupt a zoo, aren’t you ashamed? You’re past your prime, why not live peacefully in retirement? The things you do, how many young girls do you harm. In my opinion, people like you, Alliance Leader Su is right not to treat you, letting the world be rid of a scourge!”

The crowd immediately burst into laughter, and the family head’s face turned beet red as he shouted, ”Wu Wensheng, you slander me!”

”Whether I’m slandering you, everyone here knows, do they need me to say more?” Wu Wensheng retorted coldly, ”Hmph, a boundless shamelessness. If I don’t say this, you really believe no one knows what you’ve been up to?”

The surrounding crowd’s laughter grew even louder. Everyone knew about that family head’s actions. In the past, people didn’t dare to speak out due to his status, but now that Wu Wensheng had aired it out in front of everyone, it was naturally amusing to all.

The family head was on the verge of madness, roaring, ”Wu Wensheng, how dare you insult me like this. Seize this old fool for me, I want to rip his filthy mouth apart!”

Before anyone could move, Wu Wensheng already replied in a cold voice, ”Fine, let your family come. An incorrigible case, although Wu Wensheng does not have your kind of family influence, with the title of a great scholar of the Southern Six Provinces, and the words ’respected by many’ carrying some weight. If you dare to touch me, I tell you, my disciples will absolutely level your entire family, believe it or not?”

The family head was taken aback, having spoken those harsh words in the heat of his anger. Indeed, who among those present would dare to provoke Wu Wensheng?

The phrase ’respected by many’ might seem simple, but in reality, when applied to Wu Wensheng, it was anything but.

Among Wu Wensheng’s disciples, there were as many as seventeen family heads of major clans. Including provincial VIPs, political bigwigs, business celebrities, or underground leaders, the number was countless. Wu Wensheng may not have had formidable personal strength, but the disciples he had trained were all significant figures themselves. Otherwise, Wu Wensheng’s own family assets would hardly be worth mentioning in the Southern Six Provinces.

Wu Wensheng was usually the type to avoid disputes and not make enemies. But that did not mean he was easy to bully, rather, any major clan in the Southern Six Provinces, including the Qi Family of Wanhu, upon seeing Wu Wensheng, would have to respectfully call him Elder Wu, which shows his high status.

This time, the major families had banded together to attack the Divine Physicians Alliance, specifically inviting Wu Wensheng to oversee matters, because frankly, he was the one they intended to be their Alliance Hierarch. His position was evident by the fact that he was the only one all could agree upon.

Now, this family head, wanting to clash head-on with Wu Wensheng, was truly seeking his own death.

At this moment, another family head stepped forward, laughing, ”Elder Wu, why lower yourself to argue with us younger ones? Since you’re no longer getting involved in our alliance’s affairs, this matter no longer concerns you. You are an elder we all admire, Elder Wu. Since you no longer wish to meddle in matters between us and the Divine Physicians Alliance, we won’t trouble you any further. Elder Wu, the following is a matter between us and the Divine Physicians Alliance, would you please step aside a little?”

Wu Wensheng looked at Su Yang, then at the major families, and ultimately sighed, saying softly, ”Alliance Leader Su, I very much agree with your rules. But still, I advise you, as long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood.”

”Thank you, Elder Wu!” Su Yang bowed, ”However, I think you should tell that to these major families. Today, they’ve brought so many experts from their families. If they all were to die on Accumulated Cloud Mountain, wouldn’t their families be utterly devastated? They’ve worked hard to accumulate their current wealth. If they squander it like this, how can they face their ancestors?”

At these words, the crowd on the other side erupted into laughter, with the family head Wu Wensheng had just berated laughing out loud, ”Su Yang, not only are you skilled with your words, but your imagination is also unmatched. All major families and powers of the Southern Six Provinces have come together. There are over five thousand seven hundred of us climbing the mountain today, how many people does the Divine Physicians Alliance have? You still think to oppose us? What are you thinking?”
