Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!

Capítulo 1396: Chapter 1396: Three Rankings Updated!

Early the next morning.

While Zhou Yu was still sleeping, he received a call from Si Lanyue.

Si Lanyue informed him that the Broken Bridge Festival would start promptly at 10 o’clock.

The location was a private estate by East Lake.

After hanging up, Zhou Yu glanced at Yun Feifei in his arms, and they exchanged a smile before getting up.

After tidying up, he went downstairs.

As soon as he got downstairs, Zhou Yu saw Murong Fang already waiting in the lobby.

Seeing Zhou Yu come down, Murong Fang walked over with a hearty laugh.

“Mr. Zhou, how did you rest last night?”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

“Very well.”

“Mr. Murong, is there something on your mind this early as you wait for me?”

Murong Fang took a deep breath, and his smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.

“Mr. Zhou, I just received some news.”

“Oh?”

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow, showing a puzzled look.

Murong Fang was a senior member of the Nine Dragons Gate and well-experienced, so what kind of matter could unsettle him like this?

“The people from The Temple have appeared, and the Heaven, Earth, and Humanity Rankings are about to be updated.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu didn’t comprehend immediately.

“What do you mean?”

“Is updating the three rankings such a big deal?”

Seeing Zhou Yu’s reaction, Murong Fang looked stunned, but then he explained:

“Updating the three rankings is indeed a significant event for the Martial Arts World.”

“Being listed on the rankings means gaining fame worldwide. Such temptation is hard for any martial artist to resist.”

“So, each time the rankings are updated, it means numerous top experts will duel.”

“But this time is particularly special.”

“Because not long ago, the Martial Pavilion was abolished, which had a huge impact. Plus, it’s coinciding with the tricentennial change, and The Temple chose this time to update the rankings.”

“These major events happening one after another, you might not feel the upheaval within the Dragon Country Martial Arts World, but for us in overseas forces, it has become quite unsettled.”

“Since ancient times, The Temple has always been mysterious, almost as if they comprehend heavenly mechanisms. At every crucial moment in the Martial Arts World, they appear in advance.”

“This time, choosing to appear right before the Broken Bridge Festival shows the festival won’t be simple.”

Hearing Murong Fang’s words, Zhou Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed.

If it was as said, this did seem rather unusual.

“Besides…”

Murong Fang continued:

“The Snowflake Sword God and the Divine Sword Sect have a grudge. Though I don’t know their specific enmity, I heard the Divine Sword Sect will send experts this time.”

“In such a setting, no one knows what might happen, so I came today to remind you to be extra cautious!”

Upon hearing Murong Fang, Zhou Yu nodded.

“Thank you, Mr. Murong, for the reminder. I have it in mind.”

Murong Fang paused.

“Are you still going?”

Zhou Yu smiled and said.

“Such a grand event would be a pity to miss.”

Murong Fang was taken aback, then sighed.

“Alright.”

“Take care of yourself.”

“Our Nine Dragons Gate chose to engage with you considering your future, not the present. I hope nothing happens to you.”

Zhou Yu laughed heartily.

“Don’t worry.”

Then, Zhou Yu left with Yun Feifei.

Watching Zhou Yu’s departing figure, Murong Fang’s face showed a complex expression.

At this moment, an elder approached Murong Fang, speaking in a deep voice.

“Murong Fang, why did you specifically come to tell him about this?”

“Don’t forget, the Nine Dragons Gate and him are merely in a mutually beneficial relationship.”

However, Murong Fang frowned.

“I have my plans, you don’t need to interfere.”

The elder squinted his eyes.

“It seems you hold this child in high regard?”

Murong Fang chuckled softly.

“Why not value him?”

“If I were in the Heavenly King Sea now, I would not hesitate to side with Zhou Yu.”

“Some people there are shortsighted, selfish, and petty. I, Murong Fang, disdain being in the company of such people.”

“You can go now and report this to the Heavenly King Sea.”

With that, Murong Fang left with a flick of his sleeve.

The elder watched Murong Fang’s back, a shadow crossing his eyes.

However, he said nothing more and followed.

…

Hang City.

By East Lake, between mountains and rivers, in the depths of a private estate filled with chirping birds and fragrant flowers.

Next to a clear pool of water stood a delicate bamboo pavilion.

Outside the second floor of the bamboo pavilion, a woman was meditating.

In front of her lay a silver-white long sword.

On the hilt, a snowflake was vividly engraved.

Just then, a young woman walked over quickly.

This woman was Si Lanyue.

Si Lanyue came to the woman, then respectfully said:

“Master, I’m back!”

Upon hearing Si Lanyue’s voice, the woman slowly opened her eyes.

In an instant, an extreme coldness flashed through her eyes.

However, upon seeing Si Lanyue, her gaze softened significantly.

She was none other than Si Lanyue’s master, the Snowflake Sword God.

“Why the hurry?”

“What happened?”

The Snowflake Sword God asked softly.

Si Lanyue spoke solemnly:

“Master, I just received news that the Red Sun Empire Saintess, Qianye Hui, has entered Hu City. Yesterday, she swept through several famous martial arts halls in Hu City and even injured Yan Kun, the Alliance Hierarch, and defeated Li Canfeng, the Shadowless Sword.”

“At such a juncture, the appearance of the Red Sun Empire Saintess is likely not good news. I’m worried she might come here too…”

The Snowflake Sword God’s eyes slightly narrowed, then she said:

“Lanyue, what are you afraid of?”

Si Lanyue bit her lip gently, then said:

“Master, as I understand, this Saintess’s comprehension of Sword Force has probably reached perfection.”

“I… I’m afraid I’m not her match.”

The Snowflake Sword God smiled gently.

“Lanyue, you are excellent too, don’t belittle yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Si Lanyue showed a conflicted expression.

Actually, she wouldn’t belittle herself, but she was worried for her master’s safety.

“Master, will that ‘Yan God’ come?”

If Yan God could appear, Si Lanyue would be completely at ease.

She believed Yan God would surely protect her master well.

However, upon hearing this, the Snowflake Sword God’s face showed a look of yearning…
