Medical and Martial God

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Created a Powerful Family

”Miss Jin...” Seeing Jin Lian get into the car, Song Yushu, Song Mingde, and Song Kaiwen scrambled to their feet, their demeanor cautious and respectful. They never expected the mysterious person who wanted to see them was actually Jin Lian.

”Please, don’t be so formal. Sit down,” Jin Lian said with a smile. When she saw the three of them were still standing, she took a seat first.

Only then did the three members of the Song family sit down. Song Mingde asked, ”Miss Jin, is there something specific you wish to discuss with us in private?”

”Mr. Song, nominally, I’m here representing Ye Xiu to find a partner in Han Jin City. In truth, I’ve brought my team here on his orders to discuss the details of our cooperation with you,” Jin Lian revealed, getting straight to the point.

”What?” Song Yushu, Song Mingde, and Song Kaiwen were dumbfounded.

Of all the people who had come to the airport to greet Jin Lian, hoping to become Ye Xiu’s partner, the Song Family was considered the least likely candidate. And yet, Jin Lian had come specifically for them?

”Um, Miss Jin, the Divine Doctor doesn’t know me or the Song Family. Why would he choose us as his partners?” Song Mingde asked. Although he was excited, he was mostly perplexed.

”The Divine Doctor has already personally vetted you and the Song Family,” Jin Lian said with a smile.

Their minds suddenly went blank. Song Mingde asked, ”But I heard the Divine Doctor went to Guoyang. When could he have investigated my family and me? We’ve never even met him.”

Ling Yun, who was standing nearby, interjected, ”Ye Liangchen is Ye Xiu!” He quickly added, ”He’s my godfather, too!”

The three were stunned. This news was even more shocking to Song Yushu, Song Mingde, and Song Kaiwen than learning that Ye Liangchen was the godfather of both Ling Yun and Yin Tianxi. The next moment, it all clicked into place.

No wonder Ye Liangchen dared to kill Dong Shuo, the Young Master of the Brotherhood Alliance.

No wonder Ye Liangchen was fearless before Jiao Fuping.

No wonder Ye Liangchen could casually spend 100 million on a three-day free event.

No wonder Ye Liangchen’s medical skills were so profound.

No wonder even Ling Yun, the young master of the esteemed Ling Family, and Yin Tianxi, the number one expert on the global War God Ranking, would willingly acknowledge Ye Liangchen as their godfather.

It was all because Ye Liangchen was actually Ye Xiu.

A bitter look crossed Song Yushu’s face. So that’s why he never gave me a second glance, despite my beauty... heh. A man with Ye Xiu’s status has probably met countless women far prettier than me, like Jin Lian. She was suddenly struck by a feeling akin to heartbreak, and her spirits plummeted to rock bottom.

”Young Master Ling, did Mr. Ye instruct you to reveal his identity?” Jin Lian asked.

”Ah?” Ling Yun was startled. His expression changed in an instant, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He said in a panic, ”Um, everyone, I didn’t say anything. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything.”

Jin Lian was speechless; it was clear Ling Yun had acted on his own. She turned to Song Yushu, Song Mingde, and Song Kaiwen. ”Mr. Ye, under the alias Ye Liangchen, has important matters to attend to in the Hexia Road district. He hopes the three of you will keep his secret.”

”Of course, of course,” Song Mingde and Song Kaiwen nodded quickly.

Song Yushu just nodded woodenly.

Just then, Yin Tianxi boarded the car. Jin Lian and the others were taken aback. ”Mr. Yin,” Jin Lian asked, ”what brings you here uninvited?”

”I am here on my godfather’s command. From this day forward, I am to protect the Song family,” Yin Tianxi declared proudly, holding his sword. He might be submissive before Ye Xiu, but in front of others, he was still the top expert on the War God Ranking. He had to maintain his pride.

”This...” Song Yushu, Song Mingde, and Song Kaiwen quickly rose to their feet. Overwhelmed by the gesture, Song Mingde said, ”Mr. Yin, you’re too kind. There’s no need, truly. The Song Family is just a minor family; we don’t deserve your personal protection.”

”The Song Family *was* a minor family, but not anymore. My godfather has already ordered Zhang Shaoping to transfer all of the Zhang Family’s assets to you. From now on, the Song Family will be the second most powerful family in Han Jin City,” Yin Tianxi stated.

Song Yushu, Song Mingde, and Song Kaiwen were stunned by the succession of windfalls from heaven.

The Song Family was now Ye Xiu’s partner.

The Song Family was about to receive all of the Zhang Family’s assets.

The top expert on the global War God Ranking was now their personal protector.

This... this... The Song Family, just a minor family, had been artificially fast-tracked into the ranks of the elite by Ye Xiu?

...

”Mr. Ye, where... where are you taking me?” Zhang Chuntao asked anxiously after being tossed into a Mercedes by Ye Xiu.

”To Guoyang,” Ye Xiu said indifferently as he got into the car.

He had come to Han Jin City with three objectives: find his father-in-law, vet a potential partner, and help An Dongye resolve her arranged marriage. Not only had he perfectly accomplished all three tasks, but he had also managed to annihilate the Xu Family, cripple the Long Family of Guoyang, and take over the Fire Seed Company. On top of that, he had uncovered the true culprit who sold him to the Xipoloya training camp ten years ago: the reformist faction of Medicine King Valley.

It was time to go to Guoyang.

”What for? What’s in Guoyang?” Zhang Chuntao asked, confused.

Ye Xiu didn’t answer. His phone rang. Seeing the caller ID was Long Xiaoyun, Ye Xiu paused. Why hasn’t Ming Yue killed Long Xiaoyun yet?

He answered the call.

”Ye Liangchen, when will you arrive in Guoyang?” Long Xiaoyun’s voice came through the phone.

”I just set off,” Ye Xiu replied.

”When you get to Guoyang, please come to the Long Family Manor to heal me first. I’m begging you!”

”Alright,” Ye Xiu agreed readily.

Meanwhile, at the Long Family Manor in Guoyang, Long Xiaoyun was lying on the bed in his villa’s bedroom, hooked up to an IV drip. After hanging up, he breathed a sigh of relief. His injuries were too severe. The usual treatments, even combined with the Long Family’s own healing medicine, were doing little more than keeping his condition from worsening. With Ye Liangchen on his way, he felt a surge of hope. My injuries can finally be healed!

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

Suddenly, a series of heavy thuds echoed from outside. Long Xiaoyun knew that sound all too well. That’s the sound of bodies hitting the floor. It must be the doctors who were waiting outside my room!

”Who is it?” Long Xiaoyun’s sharp gaze fixed on the door as he demanded coldly.

Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open. A stunningly beautiful girl walked in with a smile, carrying a sword. She wore a tight white tank top and blue denim shorts, her long red hair cascading down her back.

”The She-Devil?” Seeing her red hair, Long Xiaoyun was reminded of the red-haired she-devil who had constantly caused trouble for the Long Family of Guoyang and severely injured several of their members. But she had always appeared at night, dressed in red and wearing a mask, so he had never seen her true face. He only remembered the red hair.

”I heard you were severely injured,” she said, swaying her slender waist and hips as she sauntered to the window. A wicked, teasing smile played on her lips. ”I didn’t expect it to be this bad.”

”Who told you I was severely injured?” Long Xiaoyun stared at her, a strange feeling of familiarity washing over him. He felt as if he had seen her face somewhere before.

Suddenly, recognition dawned. He exclaimed in shock, ”You... you’re Ming Yue?”

Back when Ye Xiu had posted all the information about the Ming Family online, practically everyone in the country had seen Ming Yue’s face. However, her entire demeanor had changed so significantly that she was hard to recognize without a careful look.
