Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: Return to Nan Zhou City

But if Ye Luo considers it from the perspective of a Martial Artist, then this hundred gold coins, are not even enough to buy a slightly better Magical Treasure!

Because the Martial Realm is a world that serves Martial Artists, regardless of money or anything else, it’s all the same!

Of course, regardless, a hundred gold coins are sufficient for Ye Luo and Nalan Rou to use for now.

In the past few days, Liu Ming would come to visit Ye Luo almost every day.

Ye Luo understood Liu Ming’s intentions. He merely wanted to foster a good relationship with Ye Luo and then take him to treat his friend’s illness.

However, as Liu Ming visited more frequently, Ye Luo instead felt a bit of anger. Those two fellows were really taking too much face; it was them who were sealed in the Qi Cyclone Realm, not Ye Luo. Now that they needed Ye Luo’s help, they couldn’t even bother to come themselves.

So, why should Ye Luo care?

Moreover, Ye Luo had his own matters to handle.

Finally, the cooldown period for the Mt. Sumeru artifact ended, and naturally, Ye Luo and Nalan Rou were ready to set off and return to Nan Zhou City.

As usual, Liu Ming came looking for Ye Luo, planning to invite him out for some leisure.

Unfortunately, Ye Luo was not in the mood at all.

”Mister is leaving?”

At Ye Luo’s request, Liu Ming had changed how he addressed Ye Luo and now referred to him as Mister.

”Yes, I’m leaving. After all, Yunkai City is not my home; I was just passing by here.”

Ye Luo said with a smile to Liu Ming, no matter what, Liu Ming had indeed treated Ye Luo with great courtesy in the past few days and had informed him of many matters.

”But Mister, my two friends’ seal...”

Liu Ming was somewhat embarrassed. Standing in Ye Luo’s shoes, Liu Ming knew that Ye Luo was not at fault, but his two friends had special identities and indeed could not come to Yunkai City just as they pleased.

Ye Luo knew what Liu Ming wanted to say, but returning to Nan Zhou City was a must-do for Ye Luo, so after hesitating for a moment, he said to Liu Ming: ”I have matters I must attend to. Let’s do this, you have my contact information. Contact me after I have finished handling my matters, and perhaps then I could make a trip with you!”

”Great, that would be wonderful. Thank you, Mister!”

Liu Ming was visibly joyful. Since Ye Luo had his own matters and must leave, Liu Ming couldn’t possibly stop him, yet getting Ye Luo’s promise was already an unexpected joy for him, especially since at the beginning, Liu Ming had no hopes at all.

After sending off Liu Ming, Ye Luo and Nalan Rou drove out of Yunkai City.

It was apparent that Nalan Rou’s expression was quite troubled, but she no longer showed the previous sadness.

The challenges that must be faced, must always be faced. Returning to Nan Zhou City was something they had to confront sooner or later.

Even though both of them clearly knew in their hearts that upon returning, they might only get a fleeting glance, and could not really do much else.

”Rou’er, that Junior City Lord probably hasn’t given up on you yet. So this time we return, you must control your temper, and must not do anything impulsive. No matter what happens, let’s think long-term, do you understand?”

Ye Luo cautioned Nalan Rou, feeling worried about her thoughts. After all, the Nalan Family was everything to Nalan Rou, and now that the Nalan Family was gone, who could guarantee that Nalan Rou wouldn’t do something rash!

Thankfully, since Nalan Rou was once the lady of the Nalan Family who single-handedly supported it, her mental resilience couldn’t possibly be that weak.

Thus, hearing Ye Luo’s caution, she smiled and said, ”Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly. This time when we return, I just want to visit my former home. After that, we will go to the Imperial Capital. From a young age, I had always wished to enroll in a certain college in the Imperial Capital and focus on cultivation. Now that the Nalan Family is gone, it also allows me to pursue my own desires.”

Nalan Rou spoke very sincerely, making it clear that this wasn’t a recent idea, but one she had harbored for some time.

Seeing Nalan Rou like this, Ye Luo finally felt somewhat relieved.

As long as Nalan Rou didn’t do anything foolish and wanted to study further, Ye Luo would certainly not oppose it.

In fact, Ye Luo himself was also preparing to go to the academy in the Imperial Capital for further studies.

After all, the more Ye Luo understood about the Martial Realm, the clearer he knew that in the Great Tang Empire, to break through the limitations of the Cyclone Realm, the academy was probably the only place to find a solution!

The carriage activated teleportation, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived outside Nan Zhou City.

However, the moment they appeared, both Nalan Rou and Ye Luo fell into intense anger!

Because they saw Nalan Chen!

They saw Nalan Chen, who was hung high on the city wall, tortured beyond recognition!

”Uncle Chen!”

Nalan Rou, from afar, couldn’t help but shout loudly at the sight of Nalan Chen!

Ye Luo quickly pulled Nalan Rou into his arms, covered her mouth, and whispered, ”Rou’er, don’t be impulsive, don’t fall into the enemy’s trap!”

Nalan Rou nodded, but her eyes couldn’t help but brim with tears.

With Nalan Rou’s intelligence, how could she not see this was a trap.

Realistically, a person tied at the top of a hundred-meter-tall wall would be hard to spot, but clearly, those people intended for him to be seen, so Nalan Chen’s movements were projected into mid-air through holographic projection, clearly visible to anyone who looked up.

This was undoubtedly a plot set up by the Nalan Family and the Junior City Lord.

All they were waiting for was Nalan Rou’s appearance!

They didn’t know that Ye Luo and Nalan Rou had already teleported to Yunkai City, thinking that Ye Luo and Nalan Rou were still hiding around Nan Zhou City.

So they used Nalan Chen as bait, hoping to lure Ye Luo and Nalan Rou into attempting a rescue!

Luckily that both of them teleported to Yunkai City, otherwise, upon seeing this scene, they might have truly risked everything to save him!

Ye Luo was extremely furious, never expecting Nalan Chen and the Junior City Lord could do such a thing!

It was clear that Nalan Chen had suffered a lot these past days, and even his cultivation was completely ruined!

Yet, the expression on Nalan Chen’s face was very serene, clearly, for Nalan Chen, as long as Nalan Rou was safe, whatever he faced was worth it!

”Rou’er, let’s go, we should find a place to settle down first. Since Manager Chen is still alive, we must find a way to save him!”

”Okay!”

Nalan Rou nodded, and then the two of them headed outside the city!

They naturally didn’t dare to stay in inns or similar places, as those locations were likely already under the surveillance of the Junior City Lord.
