Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1398: The Power of Rumors

The status of the songstress is exceedingly low; why did Qiu’s Third Young Master, upon seeing Lu Yi, directly inquire how much Ye Luo wanted to sell Lu Yi for? Isn’t the fundamental reason that he saw through Lu Yi’s identity?

However, Lu Yi never expected that Ye Luo would daringly confront such a powerful existence for her sake.

In fact, Lu Yi had been trained since she was young in the Imperial Capital. In other words, Lu Yi had some understanding of Qiu’s Third Young Master and even the various forces within the Imperial Capital. From the beginning, Lu Yi was trained by Yibao Commerce Guild to be gifted to some major power’s son, to establish closer relations. Naturally, Lu Yi was far more extraordinary than she appears to be today.

However, previously, Lu Yi did not fully trust Ye Luo, which is why she kept some distance.

But this time, seeing Ye Luo daring to offend Qiu’s Third Young Master for her, Lu Yi was truly touched.

Precisely because she knew how powerful Qiu’s Third Young Master was, Lu Yi realized what kind of a mess Ye Luo really got into this time for her sake!

”******** Yi took two steps forward and called out to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo turned around, confused, and looked at Lu Yi: ”What’s wrong?”

”Young Master, the man you hit just now is the Qiu Family’s Third Young Master, and also the sole heir of the Qiu Family. Young Master, I’m afraid you’ve stirred up serious trouble. The Qiu Family dotes on the Third Young Master excessively. They will inevitably seek revenge on the Young Master...”

Yun Liancheng’s expression subtly changed, and he looked at Lu Yi in astonishment. Although such affairs were not unusual in the Imperial Capital, they were only known among the nobility. Yet, Lu Yi, who seemed to be Ye Luo’s maidservant, how could she know these details so thoroughly?

But Ye Luo was unfazed: ”And then? It’s alright, nothing will happen. That guy won’t dare to cause me trouble; he’ll come begging to me instead!”

What!

This statement astonished everyone present, be it Yun Liancheng or Lu Yi. They didn’t know where Ye Luo’s confidence came from!

Yun Liancheng was one thing; he only speculated that Ye Luo might have an impressive background.

But Lu Yi knew Ye Luo inside out. Naturally, she was even more puzzled about where Ye Luo’s confidence stemmed from.

”Alright, let’s go!”

Ye Luo didn’t offer an explanation because explaining this matter would be pointless.

Ye Luo himself didn’t understand what that sealed power was.

He only knew it came from the Sacred Temple of Yun Kai, and the Sacred Temple seemed to be somehow related to Yun Liancheng. Therefore, Ye Luo naturally wouldn’t mention this sealing power.

His silence wasn’t intentional concealment but because Ye Luo was fully aware that Yun Liancheng greatly cherished and took pride in the Cloud Clan and his mother. Mentioning that the Sacred Temple had such sealing power might tarnish Yun Liancheng’s perfect image of the Cloud Clan.

Without an explanation from Ye Luo, it wasn’t appropriate for Lu Yi to pry further. Even if Yun Liancheng were to ask, Ye Luo would not tell the truth. So, the three of them quickly returned to the Yun Family.

In the following days, there was much tranquility. Whether it was Yun Liancheng or those aware of Ye Luo’s actions against Qiu’s Third Young Master, all were astounded.

You must understand, Qiu’s Third Young Master is not a decent person, and the Qiu Family has always been quite protective of him. Yet why, after so many days, has there been no movement?

They did not know that the Qiu Family was already in uproar!

Qiu’s Third Young Master’s Qi Cyclone had halted mysteriously. The Qiu Family summoned famous physicians and even shamelessly implored the Imperial Family’s royal physician to diagnose Qiu’s Third Young Master, but they could not find any effective solution.

Even the royal physician could only inform the people of the Qiu Family that Qiu’s Third Young Master’s Qi Cyclone had been sealed by a mysterious force and that breaking the seal could only be done by the one who cast it.

Undoubtedly, that person could only be Ye Luo.

Qiu Lao San’s mother had made several attempts to capture Ye Luo, but was stopped by the Qiu Family Head every time.

After all, the Qiu Family Head was no ordinary observer; he deduced that the power sealing Ye Luo’s strength must have an extraordinary origin, and furthermore, this also implied that Ye Luo’s identity was anything but ordinary!

The Great Tang Empire was indeed a strong nation among the surrounding regions.

Yet, even in the Ninth Region of the Martial Realm, it was considered to have only moderate strength, let alone being someone from another region.

At this moment, the Qiu Family Head speculated whether Ye Luo might not actually be from the Great Tang Empire, but instead, a mysterious figure who had traveled to the Great Tang Empire!

It was not without precedent; once upon a time, the Great Tang Empire had an allied nation named Da Yue.

The prosperity of Da Yue was said to be comparable to that of Great Tang, but because the Crown Prince of Da Yue unintentionally killed a young man of mysterious origins, it brought about the catastrophe of their nation’s downfall!

It turned out, that young man was a clansman from a powerful family in the Eighth Region who had traveled into the Ninth Region.

Each region had its strict boundaries; typically, people from higher-level regions would disdain traveling to lower-level regions, and those from lower-level regions only had the privilege to enter higher-level ones if they were sufficiently strong.

But that is not to say they cannot possibly come!

At that time, the Eighth Region merely sent a few powerful individuals over, who directly slaughtered the entire royal family of Da Yue. No matter how Da Yue resisted, it was all in vain!

Once the royal family was annihilated, Da Yue instantly fell into chaos, with incessant civil wars lasting for hundreds of years. By the time Da Yue was reunified, its strength had significantly diminished, not to mention equating to the Great Tang Empire—it couldn’t even reach one percent of Great Tang’s power!

It could be said that this was an all too clear example, as it was the Crown Prince of Da Yue who offended that traveling individual and brought about the downfall of the nation!

But if it were their Qiu Family, it goes without saying that the Great Tang Imperial Family would undoubtedly sacrifice the entire Qiu Family without hesitation to bear the blame!

Why did the Qiu Family Head know such intricate details?

Because in fact, their Qiu Family had originally been a major nobility of Da Yue, and it was because of their business dealings with Great Tang that they were able to escape to Great Tang during the chaos in Da Yue!

It can be said that it was not easy for the Qiu Family to have what they have today.

For the first time, the Qiu Family Head rejected his own son’s request, not only did he not seek trouble with Ye Luo, but also strictly forbade anyone from troubling Ye Luo!

At least, until the situation was clear, the Qiu Family dared not make any moves.

As the investigation proceeded, the Qiu Family Head obtained the information he wanted from the Yibao Commerce Guild.

Of course, perhaps that information was deliberately leaked to the Qiu Family by the Yibao Commerce Guild!

Ye Luo, of unknown origin, exceptionally gifted!

A simple sentence, yet it made the Qiu Family Head understand a lot!

Of unknown origin, he appeared seemingly out of nowhere in Nan Zhou City, and after developing good relations with the Nalan Family remained with them. The nearly impossible challenge from the Yibao Commerce Guild was easily won by him, yet he only took a liking to the Sumeru Honor awarded as a prize, turning a blind eye to the overtures from the Yibao Commerce Guild!
