Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1783: Chapter 1782: Qin Yi Tian Comes in the Middle of the Night

Qin Yitian blurted out, ”That’s right, I also have my eyes on Dong Lin...”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Dong Tiancheng, Wei Hu, and the others changed.

Qin Yitian immediately realized she had misspoken and quickly corrected herself, ”That’s not what I meant, what I meant is...”

She found herself unable to explain clearly.

Her intention was to keep Lin Dong by her side as a ”strategist” figure, not to compete with Dong Yuer for him as her man.

At this moment, Wei Hu’s expression became exceedingly iron-blue. He had been pursuing Qin Yitian all along and couldn’t bear to hear these words, naturally.

Dong Tiancheng wasn’t pleased either. The son-in-law he had set his sights on, Qin Yitian was suddenly barging in to snatch him away.

Although he was confident in his daughter’s charms, if it came to a comparison with Qin Yitian, there really was no contest.

Qin Yitian’s looks—without a doubt—were of the level to topple cities and empires.

But most importantly was her identity. She was the younger sister of Qin Feng, the Hierarch of the Nanyang Pill Alliance. That identity, in Nanyang, placed her on a pedestal above all others.

For martial artists, who wouldn’t want to become the brother-in-law of the Hierarch of the Nanyang Pill Alliance? With that connection, their martial path could ascend unobstructed.

However, at the moment, Dong Tiancheng still wanted to ask Lin Dong for his thoughts.

”Mr. Lin Dong, what do you say? Will you stay in our Jadeite City to become my son-in-law, or do you plan to head to Nanyang?”

”Mr. Lin Dong, if you choose to stay in Jadeite City, I can guarantee my daughter will marry you without question. But if you go to Nanyang, there’s no certainty you’ll truly become the brother-in-law to the Pill Alliance Hierarch.”

Qin Yitian was speechless. She had never said she wanted to marry Lin Dong!

Lin Dong, too, chuckled wryly before responding to Dong Tiancheng, ”Boss Dong, I deeply appreciate your fondness and generosity. However, I had always planned to venture to Nanyang this time.”

”So, I cannot remain in Jadeite City for development.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Tiancheng sighed. For the remainder of the dinner, his mood was rather gloomy.

As for Qin Yitian, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt there was still a chance now that Lin Dong intended to go to Nanyang.

She planned to wait until the Dong family’s banquet was over to have a private conversation alone with Lin Dong.

As for Dong Yuer, she didn’t seem upset about Lin Dong’s rejection.

After all, she had just met Lin Dong for the first time. While she didn’t oppose her father’s arrangement, it didn’t necessarily mean she had to marry Lin Dong.

”Mr. Dong Lin, here’s my contact information. Feel free to reach out in the future.” Dong Yuer handed Lin Dong her contact details, appearing poised and gracious.

Lin Dong nodded and accepted Dong Yuer’s business card.

At this moment, Wei Hu had been drinking sulkily throughout, as he wasn’t the focal point of attention at this table.

The spotlight was on Lin Dong. Whether it was the host family—Dong Tiancheng and Dong Yuer—or even Qin Yitian, their gazes were fixed entirely on Lin Dong.

Wei Hu was completely sidelined.

In fact, throughout the entire meal, Wei Hu barely spoke a few sentences.

No one engaged him in conversation either!

”Damn brat, I’ll definitely kill you. Just wait—if you dare to be alone, I’ll make sure you never see tomorrow’s sun.” Wei Hu silently cursed in his mind with fiery malice.

By the time the meal was over, it was already nighttime.

That night, Dong Tiancheng directly arranged accommodations for the three of them in his family residence, placing each in separate guest rooms.

After the banquet dispersed, Lin Dong, Qin Yitian, and Wei Hu each returned to their respective rooms.

Once back in his room, Lin Dong soon heard a knock at the door.

He walked over to open it, only to find Qin Yitian standing there.

Lin Dong asked in puzzlement, ”Miss Yitian, it’s quite late—what brings you here?”

”Hehe, can’t I come see you even if there’s nothing wrong? Aren’t you going to invite me in for a chat?” Qin Yitian chuckled. Obviously, she had no intention of discussing matters at the doorstep.

Lin Dong stepped aside, allowing Qin Yitian to enter.

After entering, Qin Yitian even closed the door behind her.

Meanwhile, from the window of another room, Wei Hu witnessed this scene.

”So late at night, what is Qin Yitian doing in Dong Lin’s room?”

”Damn it, I’ve been chasing after Qin Yitian for so long, and I haven’t even had a chance to be alone with her, let alone share a room at night. Does Qin Yitian really fancy that brat?”

”What does that brat have that I don’t?”

At this moment, Wei Hu’s killing intent was palpable. He swore he would personally slaughter that ”Dong Lin.”

Inside Lin Dong’s room, Qin Yitian strolled in. Lin Dong asked, ”Miss Yitian, may I know why you’ve come to see me?”

Qin Yitian didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she walked to the Table, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then finally said:

”Dong Lin, I’ve taken a liking to you! Will you follow me from now on?”

Lin Dong: ”...”

Startled, he quickly replied, ”Miss Yitian, what is it that you like about me? I can change, whatever it is.”

Qin Yitian pursed her lips. She had deliberately framed her words ambiguously earlier to gauge Lin Dong’s reaction. Who would’ve thought his reaction would be like this?

”What’s the matter, Dong Lin? Am I not beautiful enough for you to be happy that I like you?” Qin Yitian huffed coldly.

Clearly displeased with Lin Dong’s reaction, she thought to herself, ”Is my appeal not enough anymore?”

Lin Dong spread his hands and said, ”Miss Yitian, you are indeed beautiful. A beauty like you—who wouldn’t want to marry you? Who wouldn’t want to be your man?”

”However, I’m just being rational. I’m merely a Martial Artis Master. If I were to become your man, I’d probably climb into your bed tonight and turn into a pile of bones by tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yitian fell silent.

Lin Dong wasn’t wrong. To be her man, one had to be far more capable than a mere Martial Artis Master like ”Dong Lin.”

In Nanyang, Martial Artis Masters weren’t even worth mentioning. Many were pursuing her. If she announced Lin Dong as her man and brought him to Nanyang, it wouldn’t take long before her suitors tore him limb from limb.

”You’re quite clever.” Qin Yitian said, her gaze toward Lin Dong filled with a bit more admiration.

”Well, of course. And I also understand that with someone of Miss Yitian’s vision, you certainly wouldn’t be interested in someone as minor as myself. So when you said you liked me earlier, you were just joking, weren’t you?” Lin Dong chuckled.

”Not quite a joke. When I say I like you, it’s not in a romantic sense but rather an appreciation.”

”Dong Lin, I want you to take on the role of my ’strategist,’ to help me plan and strategize. What do you think? As long as you follow me, you won’t be mistreated.”

”When we get to Nanyang, the dan medicines martial artists dream of—I’ll make them as easy for you to obtain as plucking them from a tree.”

”I’ll also request martial arts resources from my brother for you, ensuring you’ll easily reach Half-Step Earth Realm.”

Listening to this, Lin Dong paused in silence.

Previously, he had planned to create a fake identity in Jadeite City’s black market to infiltrate Nanyang.

But now, that plan seemed entirely unnecessary.

All he needed was to follow Qin Yitian.

Although Lin Dong had already agreed in his heart, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask for some extra benefits.

”Miss Yitian, agreeing to be your strategist isn’t impossible, but you’ll have to agree to a few conditions of mine.” Lin Dong said.

When Qin Yitian heard this, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked:

”What are your conditions?”
