Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1822: Chapter 1821: Choices Under the Weighing of Pros and Cons

”Dong Lin, who is Dong Lin?” Ye Long said with some excitement at the moment, ”I want to kill him!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Men scolded, ”What nonsense are you saying!”

Ye Long, who had been overly emotional just now, realized his mistake and quickly changed his tone:

”Someone who can win Miss Yitian’s favor— I, Ye Long, would like to meet him.”

At the moment, Qin Feng looked at his younger sister, Qin Yitian, with an expression that was incomparably complex and indescribable.

”Are you serious? You truly have feelings for Dong Lin?” Qin Feng questioned.

Qin Yitian could only use Dong Lin as a shield at this moment. With Dong Lin’s talent being highly admired by her brother, she leveraged this point to dismiss Ye Long’s proposal.

”Yes, I do indeed like Dong Lin!” Qin Yitian replied firmly.

”Fine. Since that’s the case, I will fulfill your wishes!” Qin Feng said this, and then turned to Hong Lian.

”Hong Lian, go and invite Dong Lin over again.”

Hong Lian responded, ”Yes.”

She hadn’t spoken a word earlier, merely observing from the sidelines.

Upon receiving Qin Feng’s order, she once again left the Alliance Leader’s Reception Room and headed for the Alchemy Hall— this time to invite Lin Dong.

After sending Hong Lian to fetch Lin Dong, Qin Feng turned toward the father and son duo, Ye Men and Ye Long.

He then awkwardly said, ”Alliance Leader Ye Men, Ye Long, I deeply apologize. My little sister already has someone she admires, so Ye Long’s proposal— forgive me for not being able to accept.”

Earlier, he had weighed the pros and cons in his heart before arriving at this decision.

Compared to Ye Long, he held greater admiration for Dong Lin, leading him to make another decision.

Since his younger sister, Qin Yitian, claimed to like Dong Lin, he might as well fulfill her wish.

In this way, he could wholly win Dong Lin over while avoiding offending his younger sister.

In his view, although Dong Lin might not yet measure up to Ye Long, with his extraordinary refining medicinal talent, it would only take a few years for him to surpass Ye Long’s achievements.

Such talent was, in his eyes, more promising than Ye Long.

Thus, between Ye Long and Dong Lin, he ultimately chose Dong Lin.

When Qin Feng made this statement, Ye Men’s expression turned exceedingly grim. As the Alliance Leader of the Nanyang Martial Union, he was one of the top-tier figures in the entire Southborne.

Today, he had personally brought his most outstanding son to propose marriage, only to find himself completely rejected.

Moreover, it was because of someone they had never even heard of.

Ye Men said in a deep tone, ”Master Qin, who is this Dong Lin? Miss Yitian actually chose him over my son. Could it be this man is more exceptional than my son?”

Qin Feng smiled faintly and said, ”Alliance Leader Ye Men, the excellence of your son requires no elaboration. The rejection is not to suggest Dong Lin is superior to your son Ye Long— that’s not the implication.”

”When it comes to matters of the heart, we as elders should refrain from interfering excessively. Let the younger ones sort it out themselves.”

Qin Feng spoke gracefully. Although this marriage proposal couldn’t proceed, he wished to maintain amicable relations with the Nanyang Martial Union.

He didn’t want this incident to escalate into irreparable hostility.

Such a scenario would be somewhat difficult for their Dan Alliance to bear.

At this moment, Ye Long felt immense jealousy because the goddess he admired had rejected him, claiming to fancy another man.

Any man experiencing such a situation would undoubtedly be furious.

”I must see for myself what kind of man has captured Miss Yitian’s favor.”

At this moment, he decided not to leave and instead waited there for the man Qin Yitian and Qin Feng had been referring to— that ’Dong Lin.’

Ye Men, upon seeing this, frowned. Initially, after hearing Qin Feng’s words, he had intended to leave with a wave of his sleeve.

But seeing his son’s relentless demeanor, he had no choice but to stay and wait alongside him for that ’Dong Lin’ to arrive.

At this moment within the Alchemy Hall, Elder Qingfeng had just finished showing Lin Dong around the hall.

Lin Dong had also received the key to his exclusive Pill Refinement Room within the hall.

Additionally, he had toured the medicinal material repository and the public refining medicinal room.

”The Alchemy Hall isn’t large, but it continuously creates legendary feats. Here, we can annually generate a profit of forty trillion for the Dan Alliance!” Elder Qingfeng said with a hearty laugh.

Upon hearing this, even Lin Dong couldn’t help but be surprised.

As for An Lan, she was utterly astounded and exclaimed, ”Forty trillion in profit? My goodness, that’s about the annual GDP of Dragon Country’s Demon City!”

”The Alchemy Hall is simply mind-boggling!”

”Haha...” Elder Qingfeng laughed and said, ”That’s why the Alchemy Hall is a place that creates legends. Any disciple walking out from here can become the wealthiest in a city.”

”Moreover, individuals of our Alchemy Hall— whether within the Dan Alliance or Southborne— hold prestigious identities and status.”

”Anyone encountering members of the Alchemy Hall must show them respect.”

Elder Qingfeng was discussing this with Lin Dong and An Lan.

Just then, Hong Lian arrived yet again and directly said:

”Dong Lin, the Alliance Leader has summoned you to the Alliance Leader’s Reception Room.”

Seeing Hong Lian approach once more, Elder Qingfeng curiously asked, ”Why has the Alliance Leader summoned Dong Lin to the Reception Room?”

Logically speaking, the Alliance Leader had already rewarded Dong Lin generously, so why was he summoning him to the Reception Room again?

Lin Dong was also curious; earlier they called Qin Yitian away, but now, not long after, he was being summoned as well.

What could this be about?

Hong Lian smiled faintly and said, ”It’s good news for Dong Lin.”

”Alright, stop asking. Follow me— once you arrive at the Alliance Leader’s Reception Room, you’ll know exactly what it’s about.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong bid farewell to Elder Qingfeng and followed Hong Lian to the Alliance Leader’s Reception Room.

Hong Lian led the way, occasionally glancing at Lin Dong.

Her eyes flickered with faint charm.

Lin Dong noticed that this woman actually possessed charm techniques, and hers surpassed those of Huang Fei, who was by Qin Yitian’s side, by a tremendous margin.

Hong Lian’s charm method was entirely natural; every gesture and smile carried a seductive allure.

At this moment, she subtly employed her charm technique against Lin Dong.

Had it been an ordinary man, he likely would have already developed improper thoughts, unsure of where to keep his gaze.

But Lin Dong merely glanced at her briefly before regaining his composure.

Hong Lian discreetly used an incredibly subtle charm technique on Lin Dong and then observed his reaction, finding that he was unaffected after only a couple of glances.

Immediately, she couldn’t help but think to herself, ”This Dong Lin has impressive mental fortitude. I deliberately tested him with my charm technique, and yet he showed little reaction.”

”It seems Miss Yitian’s eye for people is indeed sharp. The man she chose is either a true gentleman or someone with extraordinary ambition, akin to the Young Master.”

With this in mind, she smiled faintly, withdrew her charm, and quickened her pace, leading Lin Dong towards the Alliance Leader’s Reception Room.
