Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2042: Chapter 2043: Liu Mei’s Thoughts

”Liu Qing, are you convinced by this decision?” The Family Head asked once more.

This was entirely giving Ye Luo an easy way out!

In fact, the reason Ye Luo arrived late was due to the fusion of the Dragon Bone, but why didn’t he simply make up an excuse? Most people could guess the Family Head’s intention, so couldn’t Ye Luo?

He certainly could guess it, and due to his experiences, his grasp of the Family Head’s intentions was more precise than others!

That’s precisely why he gave that absurd reason!

His real purpose was to test the reactions of these talented disciples!

Because the upcoming competition wasn’t going to be a one-on-one match, but rather a melee!

Indeed, they would be placed into an enclosed space to battle! The last one standing would become the Liu Family’s candidate for the Sect Master competition!

This mode certainly seems unreasonable; in past Sect Master selections, there have indeed been cases where the most talented disciple was ganged up on and killed!

Yet this mode has been continued and preserved!

Why? It’s simple; the Sect Master might not necessarily be the strongest, but certainly the one with the most intellect!

An intelligent Sect Master is far superior to one who only knows how to kill and is foolish.

For Ye Luo, the Sect Master position doesn’t concern him at all; what he wants is to gain the Liu Family’s candidate qualification!

However, this isn’t necessarily easy; if the others team up against him, and he cannot use Dragon Power, it’s extremely dangerous!

What’s more, he now doesn’t trust anyone, including Liu Mei!

Thus, he just said those words, fortunately, only Liu Cheng was vocally aggressive, while Liu Mei looked at him with concern.

As for the other two, they remained neutral! This outcome was satisfactory to him.

Of course, now he must find an excuse to cover this up, and he believes that as long as he casually offers a reason, the Family Head surely won’t pursue it.

”Qing’er was summoned by me this morning, so don’t hold him accountable!”

A majestic voice suddenly sounded above the Martial Arena.

It was the voice of the Supreme Elder!

Even the Family Head was startled and then nodded, ”Since he was summoned by the Supreme Elder, I naturally won’t hold him responsible. It’s getting late, let us head to the sect!”

Ye Luo was stunned; how did the Supreme Elder come to his aid? This was clearly unusual!

But now he couldn’t dwell on it much and quickly joined the team.

This time, quite a few from the Liu Family were going; besides the five of them attending the competition, others were going for the birthday banquet.

Not only that, the Liu Family has been preparing for the birthday banquet gift for half a year.

”After the competition starts, I hope you still recall your fellow disciples’ camaraderie and don’t hit with lethal intent, or even if you become the Sect Master candidate, I won’t spare you lightly!”

On the road, the Family Head specifically gathered the five people together and gave instructions.

After all, they are the Liu Family’s geniuses; losing even one is a huge loss for the Liu Family.

But judging by the looks of these five, clearly, they did not heed the words at heart.

Especially Liu Cheng, who already showed a fierce look, maliciously eyeing the four opponents in front!

This puzzled Ye Luo; at this critical juncture, instead of making an effort to ally with others, he revealed intense hostility—why?

Liu Cheng is not a foolish person; his conduct implies he doesn’t want to form an alliance with others!

Does he have a hidden plan? Ye Luo has always been wary of Liu Cheng, sensing he has a big secret!

The Liu Family and Kunwu Sect are merely separated by a mountain; soon, they arrived at Kunwu Sect’s gate.

Not to mention anything else, this gate is on a different level than the Liu Family’s gate! Kunwu Sect indeed possesses an extraordinary aura!

Beside the gate, numerous Kunwu Sect disciples were guarding, and in front of the gate was a long line where Kunwu Sect disciples were checking these people’s identities!

After all, Kunwu Sect counts as a major power in the vicinity, and the Sect Master’s birthday banquet is no small event, so surrounding minor powers opt to pay their respects.

Strictly speaking, the Liu Family and Kunwu Sect are essentially one, and naturally don’t need to go through the main gate; instead, they enter from the side gate, exclusively providing convenience to five subordinate families of Kunwu Sect.

Following the mountain path directly to the summit, this is the true stronghold of Kunwu Sect!

Kunwu Sect is truly a major force; the whole structure can rival Dragon Island!

It’s widely known that the Dragon Clan is very concerned with appearances, and has high standards for buildings, yet Kunwu Sect managed to meet them, demonstrating its profound foundation!

Technically, there’s more than ten days till the birthday banquet, so the highlight within this period is the selection of Sect Master candidates.

And those coming for the birthday banquet early are indeed here for the competition!

After all, the five talented disciples selected this time, even the weakest one could become a Deputy Sect Master! Isn’t this worthy of those minor powers to curry favor?

”I’ll tell you all one last time, this is Kunwu Sect, not our Liu Family. If anyone causes trouble here, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Regardless of who it is, severe punishment will ensue!” The Family Head said coldly.

His words were meant for these five talents! These fellows could do whatever they wished within the family, but can they casually provoke Kunwu Sect’s people? If things go wrong, the entire Liu Family could suffer.

After all, the Liu Family is a branch of Kunwu Sect, thus arranged into an independent courtyard.

And Ye Luo, was allocated to an independent room, which to him, was rather delightful news, as his Dragon Bone had just fused and required a lot of time to nourish.

Thus, as soon as he entered the room, he immediately closed the door, sat cross-legged, and began meditating.

Currently, he wasn’t worried about others checking on him, as it appeared to be typical cultivation, showing no signs of oddity.

Soon after, he opened his eyes, and a beautiful figure entered his room.

It was naturally Liu Mei.

”Do you have something to discuss with me?” Ye Luo directly inquired.

Liu Mei gave him an emotional look, ”Can’t I come to find you without any reason?”

This! How should Ye Luo respond?

He vaguely sensed that Liu Mei might have feelings for him. After all, strictly speaking, Liu Mei did not have the Liu Family bloodline; even if she married Liu Qing, it wouldn’t be an issue.

But the problem is, he is not Liu Qing; he’s Ye Luo!
