Peerless Medical Emperor

”Alright.”

Luo Bin nodded.

’I really don’t get it. Elder Wu is so old, why does he have to start such a big conflict?’

’Is there something he’s after?’

Wu Sheng looked like he was still drunk.

By the time Luo Bin looked over at Wu Sheng, he had already closed his eyes, seemingly asleep.

He was always like this, and the people of the Luo Family were used to it.

While the Luo Family was making their preparations, a grand procession was already on its way. Six vehicles in total—two of them large passenger vans—carried Elder Wu, Chen Qingdi, and nearly fifty men toward the Luo estate.

”The Luo estate is just ahead.”

”Mr. Chen, are you nervous?”

Elder Wu Jinfeng glanced at Chen Qingdi.

”What’s there to be nervous about? Of course I’m not.”

Chen Qingdi shook his head.

”Good, good, good.”

”After today’s matter is settled, I will be sure to thank you properly.”

Wu Jinfeng said.

”I’m not helping you for your thanks.”

Chen Qingdi said.

”Yes, yes, of course. Just name whatever you want when the time comes.”

”And if you ever need the Wu Family’s help in the future, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Elder Wu said with a smile.

”Excellent. That’s exactly what I was waiting to hear.”

”Don’t go back on your own words later.”

Chen Qingdi said with a laugh.

”Don’t worry. How could I dare go back on my word?”

Elder Wu said.

Upon arriving at the Luo estate, the vehicles all came to a stop.

Chen Qingdi and Elder Wu got out of the car, followed by all the Wu Family’s masters, and headed toward the Luo residence.

Among them were actually the three moles the Luo Family had planted within the Wu Family.

For now, however, they were acting very docile.

It remained to be seen how they would react once they were inside the Luo estate.

After getting out of the car, Elder Wu walked straight toward the Luo residence.

There wasn’t even a gatekeeper at the Luo Family’s entrance.

It was incredibly quiet.

When they reached the entrance, Elder Wu was just about to order someone to knock.

But just then, with a CREAK, the main gate slowly swung open on its own.

Then, a figure slowly walked out from within.

It was Luo Ke.

”Elder Wu, you’ve arrived.”

Luo Ke said with a wide smile.

”It seems you knew I was coming.”

Elder Wu said with a chuckle.

Although he was smiling, Elder Wu was inwardly shocked.

’From the looks of it, the Luo Family was prepared for this long ago.’

’We haven’t even gone in, yet they’ve already opened the gate for us.’

”Everyone, please come in. We have been waiting for you for quite some time.”

Luo Ke said with a smile.

”Waiting for us?”

”You must be joking.”

”Since when are you so kind?”

He Gu shook his head repeatedly, clearly not believing it.

”Whether or not we’re truly this kind, you’ll find out soon enough.”

”Hurry and come in. Don’t just stand outside.”

”We’ve already prepared seats for all of you inside.”

Luo Ke played the part of a welcoming host.

”Fine. Since Second Young Master Luo has invited us in for a seat, let’s go in and have a seat.”

Elder Wu said.

With that, Elder Wu strode right in.

The men behind him followed in a great throng.

As soon as he stepped inside, Chen Qingdi began observing his surroundings.

’The Luo estate is enormous.’

’The front courtyard alone must be several hundred square meters.’

’It’ll be difficult to find Situ Xian’s son here.’

’There must be a detention room. If I can find it, I might be able to find Situ Xian’s son.’

’But for now, there’s clearly no opportunity.’

’I’ll have to play it by ear.’

Luo Ke smilingly led them into the courtyard, where rows of chairs were arranged.

”Everyone, please, have a seat.”

Luo Ke said with a smile.

Elder Wu didn’t stand on ceremony either. Since they were told to sit, they sat.

After everyone had taken a seat, the main gate of the Luo estate slowly swung shut.

In an instant, the air crackled with killing intent.

”I must ask, Elder Wu, what brings you here with so many men?”

”We opened our gates to welcome you as guests. If our hospitality is lacking in any way, I hope you’ll forgive us.”

Luo Ke sat down in front of Elder Wu and spoke with a smile.

”Since you knew we were coming, how could you not know why we are here?”

”The Second Young Master of the Luo Family has learned to play dumb, I see.”

Elder Wu glanced at Luo Ke, displeased.

”I truly don’t know.”

”But I also truly know that you’ve brought a great number of masters to our Luo Family’s home.”

”Whether I know or don’t know... sometimes it doesn’t seem to matter all that much.”

Luo Ke spoke in riddles. In any case, Chen Qingdi did not like his demeanor at all.

”Then I’ll be direct.”

”Hand over the Holy Thief your Luo Family has been harboring.”

”He stole our Wu Family’s Hundred Fist Atlas.”

”That is our family’s greatest treasure.”

Elder Wu said coldly.

”Oh, so that’s what this is about.”

”So it was just about this.”

Luo Ke started to laugh.

He then clapped his hands lightly.

Soon, a Luo Family servant walked over, carrying a wooden box.

Elder Wu seemed to have already guessed what was inside the box.

”Your Wu Family’s greatest treasure is right here in this box.”

”That fellow, the Holy Thief... while he is one of our Luo Family’s men, he’s always been elusive.”

”We genuinely had no idea he stole your family’s treasure.”

”The moment we found out, we immediately prepared the item. We were originally going to send it back to you, Elder Wu, but we didn’t expect you to show up here with your men in such a grand fashion.”

Luo Ke said.

After speaking, Luo Ke pushed the wooden box in front of Elder Wu.

Elder Wu hadn’t expected the Luo Family to have a countermeasure prepared so far in advance.

Elder Wu slowly opened the wooden box. Inside was, indeed, the Wu Family’s Hundred Fist Atlas.

He took it directly and placed it inside his robes.

However, he showed no intention of leaving.

”It’s getting late.”

”We won’t keep you for dinner, Elder Wu.”

”After all, you’ve brought quite a few people. If it were just you, we wouldn’t mind having you stay for a meal.”

Luo Ke said.

”And what if I don’t leave?”

Wu Jinfeng said.

”Not leaving?”

”Why? I’ve returned your item, and I’ve apologized.”

”If the Holy Thief returns, I’ll have him apologize to you in person. How about that?”

Luo Ke said with a smile.

”Not good enough.”

Wu Jinfeng shook his head directly.

”Then what do you propose?”

Luo Ke asked.

”Compensation.”

”One hundred billion.”

Wu Jinfeng made an exorbitant demand.

Hearing this, Luo Ke let out a cold laugh.

”I returned your property, and I personally apologized. And now you say something like this?”

”Do you really think the Luo Family is so easy to bully?”

The smile on Luo Ke’s face gradually faded, replaced by clear anger.
