The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 909: Not Buried?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiang Yingjie’s broadsword stopped in mid-air, and he had a strange expression on his face.

Mr. Ye? Given Feng Tai’s status, why was he addressing this young man as mister?

What the f*ck was going on?

Could it be that this kid had some sort of powerful background?

Xu Yaxin’s expression turned extremely ugly. She wanted Ye Chen dead, but it seemed that it would not happen now.

F*ck!

Feng Tai noticed that Xiang Yingjie had not put away his sword and continued, “Sir Xiang, I will speak to the punishment bureau regarding Mr. Ye’s behalf. He is a guest invited by the Feng family. Please let this matter slide. This is Mr. Ye’s first time here and he doesn’t know the rules here. I will also speak with him later.”

Xiang Yingjie hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end, he put away his broadsword.

“Since Elder Feng has vouched for him, I will let this matter slide for today.”

“However, if I see this kid dare to kill in Seaside City again, I will kill him immediately without hesitation, even if the Feng family intervenes. Let’s go!”

The last sentence was obviously a threat, and his cold gaze was directed toward Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen did not avoid the gaze or back down. He even retorted, “If Feng Tai had not intervened, you would already be a corpse!”

Xiang Yingjie might be more powerful now, but with a little more time, Ye Chen would be able to cultivate to the former’s level and defeat him without relying on the Samsara Graveyard.

He was not one to forget grudges.

In the end, Xiang Yingjie left with his troops, and Xu Yaxin followed him as she was afraid that Ye Chen would take revenge.

Feng Tai, on the other hand, was frightened by Ye Chen’s outburst. Turning around, he quickly said, “Mr. Ye, this is probably your first time coming to Seaside City, so you might be unaware of many things here. Xiang Yingjie has a powerful background in Seaside City and is extremely powerful. He once punched an origin king realm expert to death. Furthermore, he is ranked on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings. It’s better for an alchemist like you not to get into a conflict with a warrior like him.”

Obviously, from Feng Tai’s perspective, alchemy was scholarly, while martial arts was barbaric. He believed that if they really fought, Xiang Yingjie could cripple Ye Chen with a single finger!

Ye Chen nodded, thanking Feng Tai for his kindness.

Feng Tai then said, “Mr. Ye, it’s already late. You two haven’t eaten yet, right? Would you like to come to my residence?”

Ye Chen wanted to refuse but when he thought about Ye Lingtian’s injuries and the latter’s family’s matters, asking Feng Tai for help was undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, the Fire Cloud Deer was injured and needed to rest for a while.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Elder Feng.” He cupped his hands.

“No worries, no worries. It’s my honor to be able to host you at my residence, Mr. Ye.”

…

Half an hour later, Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian arrived at Feng Tai’s residence.

It was a courtyard house surrounded by a bamboo forest and set against the backdrop of a mountain. It was quite artistic.

Feng Tai first arranged for Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen to freshen up and then changed into a new set of clothes.

Then, the three of them went straight to the dining room. Each of them had a table. Countless delicacies were placed on their tables, and there were even beautiful women pouring wine and accompanying them.

However, when Feng Tai saw that beauty did not interest them, he waved his hand and allowed the servants to leave.

After a round of wine and food, Feng Tai was the first to speak, “Oh right, Mr. Ye, you’re an origin-grade alchemist, so why did you suddenly come to Seaside City? There hasn’t been an alchemy competition here recently, right? I’m not sure.”

Naturally, Ye Chen would not tell them about his intentions to visit the Mo family. Instead, he looked at Ye Lingtian and said, “Speaking of that, I might have to trouble Elder Feng with something. My friend’s father passed away and he came back to deal with his funeral. However, he left home many years ago, and didn’t know that his family had moved to Seaside City.”

“Although we’ve reached Seaside City, we’re not sure exactly where they are located…”

Elder Feng instantly understood the gist of the matter. He asked Ye Lingtian a few questions, drank a glass of wine, and asked a servant to bring him a book. He flipped through a few pages before suddenly raising his head and looking at Ye Lingtian with interest.

“I think I know where it is. A few months ago, a family head surnamed Ye passed away in the south of the city. It’s just that…”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. “Is something the matter? Elder Feng, please tell us.”

Elder Feng put down the book and continued, “It’s just that something happened to this family. It seems… The dead family head hasn’t been buried yet.”

When Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian heard that, their expressions turned ferocious. How long had it been, yet Ye Lingtian’s father still had not been buried!

Did they want the dead to be unable to rest in peace?

It was a given in the Kunlun Mountains that the dead had to be buried within seven days. Under special circumstances, they had to be buried within fifteen days!

However, it had been several months since Ye Lingtian’s father had passed away!

What was going on? What were those people from the family doing?

“Elder Feng, do you know the reason behind this?” Ye Lingtian’s eyes gleamed coldly as he put down his wine glass.

Elder Feng stroked his beard and shook his head.

“After all, this is someone else’s private matter, so I have no right to question them. However, according to my speculation, this should be related to the division of property.”

“The deceased family head was quite famous in Seaside City. Although he was not strong, there were rumors that he had accidentally obtained some kind of treasure. It was this treasure that allowed them to move here. However, I don’t know what it is exactly. Why don’t I send someone to ask?”

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Lingtian. He could sense the latter’s anxiety. He stood up and said, “Elder Feng, there’s no need for that. We’re going there anyway, so we can handle this ourselves. Elder Feng, please tell us the exact location.”

Elder Feng felt a little regretful about this. Although he wanted to keep the two of them, he knew that Ye Lingtian’s matter could not be delayed any longer. He handed a map of Seaside City to Ye Chen and marked the location of Ye Lingtian’s family’s territory on it.

Ye Chen accepted the map. Naturally, he would not take advantage of Elder Feng’s kindness, so he handed over a medicinal pill.

This pill was called the Cleansing Spiritual Pill.

Its grade was extremely high, and only origin-grade alchemists could refine it.

“Elder Feng, this is our first meeting, so please accept this as a gift!”

Elder Feng looked at the pill, panting, and his eyes bloodshot. He initially wanted to refuse, but he still accepted it shamelessly. Anyone who rejected this kind of medicinal pill was probably a fool!

“Mr. Ye, I didn’t do anything, so this really is unwarranted. However, don’t worry, Mr. Ye. I still have some status and authority in Seaside City. If anything happens, I will definitely help Mr. Ye settle it!”

Ye Chen nodded. Without further ado, he led the Fire Cloud Deer outside.

Before he could take a few steps, Elder Feng suddenly thought of something and reminded him, “Mr. Ye, please pay attention to the young lady, Xu Yaxin, as well Xiang Yingjie. These two people are not easy to deal with, especially Xu Yaxin. She is famous for her viciousness in Seaside City. She is also used to being arrogant and untouchable. I’m afraid she will take revenge on you for today’s matter.”
