Urban Martial Saint

The person from the Zhou Family felt extremely awkward. Although Bai Li Xi was staying at the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance, he still hadn’t recognized the authority to command him. Zhou Haoyang was unaware of these circumstances, mistakenly thinking that Bai Li Xi was affiliated with the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance, which is why he dared to reprimand him like that. However, while Zhou Haoyang dared to scold him this way, the people of the Zhou Family did not dare speak to Bai Li Xi in such a manner.

Bai Li Xi may have lost his Inner Strength, but his skills with poison were still at a Transcendental Mastery level, making even Peak Masters behave respectfully in his presence. This person from the Zhou Family didn’t even possess such ability; if he dared speak to Bai Li Xi like that, he probably wouldn’t survive to come back.

”Why are you still standing there? Go call that person here for me!” Zhou Haoyang shouted angrily, clearly displeased with his descendant.

”Grandfather, well...” The person from the Zhou Family awkwardly scratched his head and said, ”Mr. Bai Li is only temporarily staying at this side of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance; he is not a member of our Seven Rudders. Generally, our family members seek him out for treatment personally. Asking him to come here might... might...”

”Might what?” Zhou Haoyang glared, furious.

The person from the Zhou Family felt very awkward; he wanted to say that Bai Li Xi might not give them face, but he dared not say this in front of Zhou Haoyang.

Bai Yonghui was very astute; seeing the expression on the Zhou Family member’s face, he knew what he wanted to say. He nodded slowly and said, ”I understand. In that case, Old Zhou, let’s go and visit Mr. Bai Li’s courtyard together.”

”What the hell visit? Both of us are injured, and you want us to go back and forth?” Zhou Haoyang shouted, ”Let him come over and treat us; we don’t need to go to him!”

Bai Yonghui gazed helplessly at Zhou Haoyang, internally cursing him from start to finish. Are you an idiot? Don’t you know the one person you must never offend is a doctor? You’re injured like this and still acting all high and mighty with a doctor; do you not want to get better?

However, he couldn’t say these words outright; he could only firmly drag Zhou Haoyang over to Bai Li Xi.

”Old Zhou, when you see Bai Li Xi, be a little more courteous.” Bai Yonghui advised Zhou Haoyang, ”He’s a doctor; if you provoke him and he casually prescribes us medicine that worsens our injuries, it’ll be trouble!”

”He wouldn’t dare!” Zhou Haoyang shouted, looking as though he was ready to kill.

”Why wouldn’t he dare?” Bai Yonghui gave Zhou Haoyang a sidelong glance and said, ”He’s not a member of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance. Moreover, with his medical skills, once he leaves the Seven Rudders, there will be many major powers eager to invite him over. Not to mention, even the Twelve Green Halls have their eyes on him. If he harms us with medicine, the Seven Rudders can’t do anything to him. But if we offend him and he leaves the Seven Rudders, then we would be the traitors of the Seven Rudders!”

Although Zhou Haoyang was a bit straightforward, he was not stupid. Hearing Bai Yonghui’s analysis, his heart chilled. It was indeed that way; if a Divine Doctor like Bai Li Xi was driven to leave because of them, then they indeed would be the traitors of the Seven Rudders. After all, having Bai Li Xi around ensures the lives of many in the Seven Rudders.

Hence, after hearing these words, even though Zhou Haoyang still felt unhappy, he dared not say anything further. Supported by several subordinates, they walked for about ten minutes until they finally reached Bai Li Xi’s courtyard.

Bai Yonghui, wanting Bai Li Xi to carefully examine them, adhered to protocol by first sending someone in to announce their arrival. However, shortly afterward, the person returned with a dejected expression.

Seeing this person’s expression, Bai Yonghui knew something was wrong but still asked, ”How did it go?”

The person awkwardly said, ”Mr. Bai Li said... said...”

”What did he say?” Zhou Haoyang anxiously asked, ”Can you not be so hesitant?”

The person gritted his teeth and said, ”He said to get those two old bastards out...”

”Two old bastards?” Zhou Haoyang hadn’t yet realized, but Bai Yonghui’s expression changed.

Two old bastards referred to him and Zhou Haoyang, right?

Bai Li Xi telling them to get lost meant he wasn’t intending to treat their injuries. What was happening here? They hadn’t offended Bai Li Xi; why wouldn’t he even see them?

Bai Yonghui helplessly glanced at his subordinate. This guy really speaks directly, actually relaying Bai Li Xi’s original words. Well, now Zhou Haoyang just endured so much outside, and now he’s being insulted here. How could he possibly take this lying down?

Zhou Haoyang quickly realized what was happening. His eyes widened, and he angrily said, ”That old bastard dares to insult people!”

The subordinate awkwardly said, ”This... this is what Bai Li Xi said...”

”****** Old thing, without even a bit of Inner Strength left, still dares to be so bold!” Zhou Haoyang was furious and was about to rush into the courtyard, but Bai Yonghui pulled him back from behind.

”Old Zhou, let it go, let it go!” Bai Yonghui said, ”This Bai Li Xi, you cannot offend him!”

Zhou Haoyang angrily replied, ”What the **** Divine Doctor? Didn’t you notice that Old Wang Ba enjoys our food, stays in our place, and is still under the protection of our Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance? But he doesn’t give a **** about us at all. The two of us are Elders of the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, coming to him for treatment of injuries. He can refuse, but what kind of **** is he saying? If I swallow this insult just because he scolded me, I might as well take his **** surname!”

”But if this thing gets bigger, we won’t be able to explain it to those above us!” Bai Yonghui said awkwardly.

”In this kind of situation, what is there to explain?” Zhou Haoyang said, ”If this old guy doesn’t treat the two of us today, he won’t treat any other members of the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance tomorrow. To put it bluntly, this old guy is already planning on leaving our Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance. Such a person, if you don’t show him some color, he’d really think he’s Invincible Under the Heavens, strutting everywhere. If I don’t go in today and give him a good beating, we’ll keep suffering his attitude. Old Bai, don’t stop me, today I must handle this old thing!”

As Zhou Haoyang said this, he shook off Bai Yonghui’s hand and went up to kick open the courtyard door. Although he was injured, after stabilizing himself for a while, some strength returned, and he still had the energy to kick open the door.

Bai Yonghui walked behind him, and he too was very upset by what Bai Li Xi said earlier, but he was shrewd and wouldn’t provoke Bai Li Xi himself. Knowing full well that if Bai Li Xi left the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance in a rage, they’d be in big trouble later. But now Zhou Haoyang was the one confronting Bai Li Xi, so it wasn’t his problem. Although he pretended to pull Zhou Haoyang, it was just for show. In truth, he wanted Zhou Haoyang to go in and handle Bai Li Xi, which would also relieve his own frustration.

Inside the courtyard, Bai Li Xi was leisurely sitting beside a stone table, smoking dry tobacco, and sitting beside him was Old Wang Ba. The two were playing chess. However, both of them sucked at it, they didn’t know chess or Go, so they were playing Beast-fighting Chess instead.

Old Wang Ba had returned with Bai Li Xi, and right after coming back, he went straight into this courtyard, not getting involved in the Ghost Valley Master Tomb affairs. Watching the two leisurely, they were indeed relaxing here.

Seeing Bai Li Xi and Old Wang Ba in such a relaxed state triggered Zhou Haoyang’s anger. Damn it, while I was outside fighting the Bloody Monk to life and death, you two bastards have the audacity to smoke and play chess leisurely here. So carefree, not healing my injuries and even scolding me. If today I don’t sort the two of you out properly, then I’m no longer called Zhou Haoyang!

Cursing in his heart, Zhou Haoyang strode to the stone table and pointed at Bai Li Xi, angrily saying, ”Bai Li Xi, stand up for me!”

Bai Li Xi completely ignored Zhou Haoyang, stared at the chessboard for a while, waved his hand, and said, ”No, no, no, I made a couple of wrong moves earlier, let’s back up and start over!”

Old Wang Ba glared and said, ”Damn it, are you even human? Playing Beast-fighting Chess and you still want to take back moves?”

Bai Li Xi, also displeased, said, ”Leave it out, a couple of days ago when we were playing cards, didn’t you also retract your cards, why can’t I take back moves in chess?”

Old Wang Ba argued back, ”Cards are cards, and Beast-fighting Chess is Beast-fighting Chess, you can’t mix them. When playing cards, I retracted cards, so you can also do the same next time we play. But in Beast-fighting Chess, I never retract moves, so how can you do so when playing Beast-fighting Chess?”

”What a load of rubbish, it’s all the same, as long as you step back a couple of steps. Fine, I won’t take back too much, just two steps!” As Bai Li Xi said that, he reached out and grabbed the chess on the table.

Zhou Haoyang watched dumbfounded. These two bastards combined are over a hundred years old, playing Beast-fighting Chess and talking about retracting moves? And Bai Li Xi actually did it, saying he would retract moves and really took back a few moves. Can this even be considered playing?

Old Wang Ba, even more displeased than Zhou Haoyang, looked at Bai Li Xi retracting moves and said angrily, ”I told you I don’t like playing Beast-fighting Chess with you. You’re eighty or ninety years old, playing Beast-fighting Chess with me and taking back moves, do you even have any shame?”

”Oh, come on, what kind of nonsense are you saying, acting like you’re so much younger. Yes, I’m slightly older, but why don’t you mention how you called that Broom Star over for card games and not only took back cards but also peeked at his hand too?” Bai Li Xi argued with reason, ”So what if I’m older than you, we’re both adults. Besides, you also use these tactics playing cards with kids, do you even have any shame?”
