The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3224: Chapter 4001: Master! (Fourth Update)

When his Heavenly Demon Bright Eye is trained to the peak-level division of realms, perhaps he can truly see through all heavenly secrets and pierce through all the mist.

By then, in the All Heavens Universe, there would be no matter that could escape his perception.

”Master Danhuang, your alchemy divine power is unparalleled. Please do not disdain my daughter’s lack of talent and accept her as your apprentice.”

Qing Zhenzhong pulled Qing Qiuyun over and said, ”Qing’er, quickly kneel and acknowledge your master. This Master Danhuang is the master I found for you. From now on, you will follow him in learning, and resurrect the ancient glory of our Qing family.”

”You want me to acknowledge a master?”

Upon hearing Qing Zhenzhong’s words, Qing Qiuyun was suddenly stunned. Today’s banquet could be called a master acknowledgment feast!

”Quickly kowtow!” Qing Zhenzhong shouted.

Qing Qiuyun stood there in a daze, realizing that this Danhuang Yang Lie was actually the master her father had found for her.

”Hehe, Qing Clan Patriarch, your daughter’s bones are exquisite, and her alchemy aptitude is outstanding. It wouldn’t be a problem for me to accept her as an apprentice, but about my son’s engagement with her...”

Danhuang Yang Lie glanced at his son Yang Teng and then at Qing Zhenzhong.

Qing Zhenzhong hurriedly said, ”This engagement is certainly not a problem. My daughter is also at the age for marriage. Once she acknowledges her master, she can marry your son as a wife.”

”That’s very good.”

Hearing Qing Zhenzhong’s words, Danhuang Yang Lie also smiled with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Yang Teng beside him had a face filled with excitement as he kept glancing at Qing Qiuyun’s fair face and graceful figure, with a gaze that seemed to have a Raging Fire burning within.

”Father, you want me to acknowledge a master and marry me off to someone else?”

Upon hearing this, Qing Qiuyun was thunderstruck and began to tremble violently.

”Qing’er, quickly kowtow. To acknowledge Master Danhuang as your master is a blessing you acquired over three lifetimes, and you and Master Danhuang’s son make a perfect couple. Once married, it will surely be a story passed down through the ages.”

Qing Zhenzhong pulled on Qing Qiuyun’s sleeve, signaling her to kneel and acknowledge the master.

Danhuang Yang Lie’s reputation at the Outer Realm border was incredibly prominent, and many wished to become his disciples. Qing Zhenzhong took great pains to invite Danhuang Yang Lie over.

And Danhuang Yang Lie was willing to accept an apprentice, but there was just one condition: Qing Qiuyun had to marry his son.

This condition, in Qing Zhenzhong’s eyes, wasn’t excessive at all. Instead, it was a perfect opportunity to foster relationships.

As long as the two families united through marriage, along with the master-apprentice relationship, the Qing family and Danhuang family joining forces, plus the backing of the Seven Killings Demon Sect, the Qing family hoped to regain the ancient powerful glory!

As for Qing Qiuyun’s thoughts, Qing Zhenzhong didn’t ask. Anyway, Danhuang Yang Lie’s reputation was outstanding, and his son Yang Teng was also remarkably talented, so she would agree, presumably.

”Father, I cannot acknowledge him as my master!”

Qing Qiuyun’s face turned icy as she stood her ground without kneeling.

”What did you say?”

Qing Zhenzhong was stunned upon hearing her words.

”I already have a master!”

Qing Qiuyun exclaimed, face filled with frustration.

As her words fell, the bustling hall suddenly quieted.

”You already have a master?”

Qing Zhenzhong’s face darkened.

”Yes!”

Qing Qiuyun nodded fervently.

Instantly, all the guests were in shock.

Nobody expected that Qing Qiuyun not only refused to kneel to acknowledge a master but also claimed to have a master already. What was going on?

Under the stares of many guests, Danhuang Yang Lie’s old face couldn’t hold up. He sternly said, ”Qing Clan Patriarch, what is going on here, if your daughter already has a master, why did you still want her to acknowledge me as one?”

”Master Danhuang, please calm down. My daughter was just speaking nonsense.”

Qing Zhenzhong quickly apologized, glaring at Qing Qiuyun, ”Qing’er, stop acting up and quickly kneel and acknowledge the master!”

”Alright, with Master above, please accept your disciple’s bow!”

Qing Qiuyun quickly walked in front of Ye Chen, kneeled on one knee, with great respect.

She indeed knelt, but the person she bowed to was not Danhuang Yang Lie, but Ye Chen!

Instantly, the entire hall was in eerie silence.

Everyone had a face of shock.

Danhuang Yang Lie was equally stunned, feeling as if he had been made fun of.

Beside him, Yang Teng looked at Ye Chen with immense anger and jealousy.

This guy?

Is Qing Qiuyun’s master?

What a colossal joke!

Qing Qiuyun squeezed her eyes at Ye Chen, looking a bit playfully smug.

Ye Chen was also stunned, never expecting Qing Qiuyun to kneel in front of him under everyone’s gaze. He instantly became the center of the vortex.

What made things more problematic was that he had already agreed to accept Qing Qiuyun as a disciple, so when she bowed and called him master, he couldn’t refuse.

”My master is Ye Chen, proficient in medical skills and martial arts. He is the first genius of the Divine Kingdom, no, the first genius of all time. He has already accepted me as a disciple. I cannot acknowledge a master again.”

In the midst of everyone’s astonishment, Qing Qiuyun revealed Ye Chen’s identity.

”Master Danhuang, I cannot acknowledge you as my master anymore. Please do not take offense.”

After a pause, Qing Qiuyun apologized to Danhuang Yang Lie politely, yet her stance was very firm that she could never acknowledge another master.

Danhuang Yang Lie’s old face turned red, and his eyes were filled with anger. Under the public eye, he had been utterly humiliated by the Qing family, yet he couldn’t act out.

”So he’s Ye Chen.”

”The first genius of the Divine Kingdom, I’ve heard about him too.”

”But with what virtues and abilities does he compare to Master Danhuang?”

The guests who heard Qing Qiuyun’s words also started discussing noisily.

They had heard Ye Chen’s reputation, but didn’t think he was qualified to be Qing Qiuyun’s master.

After all, when it came to Dao of Alchemy, Danhuang Yang Lie was the true top authority. Even the Emperor Abyss Palace had invited him to be an elder of the Alchemy Hall, although he had declined.

In their eyes, when purely discussing alchemy, Ye Chen absolutely couldn’t match Danhuang Yang Lie.

Perhaps Ye Chen’s medical achievements were astounding, but his ancient alchemy was absolutely incomparable to Yang Lie.

”No worries. Since Miss Qing already has a master, she naturally cannot acknowledge me.

Danhuang Yang Lie stroked his beard, coldly glancing at Ye Chen, ”Little Brother Ye, I didn’t expect you, at such a young age, to become a master yourself. Quite a skill indeed! Old me have heard you’re proficient in medical and martial arts, but didn’t know you’re also proficient in alchemy. Since I’m not the best, I wish my son to step up and compete with you in alchemy. I wonder what you think?”

In his words, he glanced at Yang Teng beside him.

Due to his status, he didn’t want to personally engage in an alchemy competition, so he let his son Yang Teng take the lead.

As long as Yang Teng could defeat Ye Chen, he could prove that his alchemy skills were far superior to Ye Chen’s, and Qing Qiuyun’s refusal to acknowledge him was the Qing family’s loss, not the failure of the Danhuang family.

”Little Brother Ye, please.”

Yang Teng stood up, staring coldly at Ye Chen.

Qing Qiuyun’s respect and closeness to Ye Chen made him extremely angry. If he didn’t crush Ye Chen’s spirit, he couldn’t vent his hatred.
