Medical and Martial God

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: 99,999,999.99

He had a solid basis for this judgment. Nangong Lie’s unique skills were the Traveling Dragon Moxibustion Technique and the Traveling Dragon Sword Technique. When Ye Xiu severely injured Jiao Fuping, he used the Traveling Dragon Sword Technique as well. However, Ye Xiu was now emitting Blade Qi.

Clearly, Ye Xiu was using the identity of Nangong Lie’s disciple to conceal his true one.

”Very clever,” Ye Xiu said with admiration. ”Since you’re so curious, I’ll tell you my real identity. My name isn’t Ye Liangchen, it’s Ye Xiu. Of course, I have another identity—Huang Quan!”

”What?” Gao Xuan and Li Chuan exclaimed in shock, as if they had just heard the most terrifying secret in the world.

The renowned Xuanse Medicine King was actually Huang Quan? My God! Ye Xiu possessed two extreme identities: one as a life-saving Divine Doctor, and the other as Huang Quan, the slaughterer of countless lives.

This... If news of this were to spread, wouldn’t it shake the entire world?

”Answer three questions for me, and I’ll spare your lives. If you don’t cooperate honestly, you know the consequences,” Ye Xiu said coolly.

”Please, ask away,” Gao Xuan said, suppressing his pain as he crawled up and knelt before Ye Xiu.

Li Chuan also got up and crawled over to kneel in front of Ye Xiu. Facing Huang Quan, their hearts were filled with despair. They knew full well that if they didn’t cooperate, it wouldn’t just be them, but also their families back in Medicine King Valley who would be butchered by Huang Quan.

”Is Medicine King Valley a Totem Organization?” Ye Xiu asked. Ever since he had learned that An Dongye could awaken, he deduced that her family must be a Totem Clan. Furthermore, the Dongfang Family had betrothed An Dongye to Jiao Fuping, and Medicine King Valley could solve the Dongfang Family’s Blood Poison crisis. Therefore, Ye Xiu speculated that Medicine King Valley was also a Totem Organization.

”Yes!” Gao Xuan nodded.

”How many people have awakened in Medicine King Valley?” Ye Xiu asked.

”As far as I know, more than a dozen, but I’m not sure of the exact number,” Gao Xuan said frantically.

Li Chuan hastily added, ”Awakeners are a top secret in Medicine King Valley. Gao Xuan and I are merely Medicine Servants, so we aren’t qualified to know such secrets.”

Ye Xiu was secretly astonished. Medicine King Valley had at least a dozen Awakeners. It was unbelievable.

He then asked, ”Is the Long Family a Totem Clan?”

”No!” Gao Xuan shook his head and said, ”As far as I know, the Long Family’s purpose is to assist Medicine King Valley in guarding something. The Clan Leaders before the current one all kept to their duty and followed Medicine King Valley’s lead. But ever since the current Clan Leader took charge, he has been manufacturing friction with the valley. According to Jiang Yuan, the Long Family intends to replace Medicine King Valley...”

This was unexpected. The Long Family was once subordinate to Medicine King Valley.

No wonder the Master of the Long Family spent nearly a decade trying to confirm whether my left arm had a dragon-shaped pattern. He wants to replace Medicine King Valley. But what is this thing that Medicine King Valley is guarding?

Suddenly, Ye Xiu’s interest in Medicine King Valley intensified.

”Do you... do you have any other questions?” Gao Xuan asked weakly.

”No more!” Ye Xiu snapped his fingers.

Gao Xuan and Li Chuan then saw two people dressed in black and wearing masks walk in.

”You... you said that if we answered your questions, you would spare our lives, didn’t you?” Gao Xuan asked in terror.

”I did. I don’t plan on killing you, but I don’t plan on letting you go either,” Ye Xiu snorted coldly and said to his subordinates, ”Lock them up. Once I’ve rounded up all the reformists from Medicine King Valley, I’ll deal with them all at once.”

”As you command!”

His two subordinates casually knocked Gao Xuan and Li Chuan unconscious and carried them away as if they were little chicks.

Ye Xiu glanced at the time. It was lunchtime.

He went to the Long Family Manor’s parking lot and selected a brand-new Lamborghini that hadn’t been registered yet. The car had just been bought by Long Wu, and Ye Xiu had found the keys yesterday while cleaning her villa.

Ye Xiu chose a corner table, ordered a bowl of noodles, and several of Guoyang’s specialty snacks.

”Ordering so much for one person, can you finish it all?”

Just as he finished ordering, a familiar voice, tinged with excitement, rang out.

”How do I run into you everywhere I go?” Ye Xiu said with a wry smile, looking at Cao Ting, who sat down uninvited.

”It means we’re fated,” she said with a playful smile. She was over thirty but still trying to act cutesy. However, she wasn’t wearing makeup today, revealing a refined appearance. Combined with her excellent skincare, she looked to be only twenty-five or twenty-six.

”It’s an ill-fated bond,” Ye Xiu stated coolly.

”An ill-fated bond is still a bond,” Cao Ting said, not minding his attitude in the least. ”After you left the bar last night, I drove around looking for you until two in the morning. If I had known I’d run into you today, I wouldn’t have bothered.”

”What did you want with me?” Ye Xiu asked, feigning ignorance.

”I like you,” Cao Ting said directly. ”I liked you the moment I saw you at the bar last night. I haven’t felt this way in many years, so I have to make you mine.”

Last night, she had thought it over. With a man like Ye Xiu, there was no need for tricks—a direct approach would be more effective.

”Sorry, I’m not interested in you,” Ye Xiu refused bluntly.

”Don’t be so quick to refuse,” Cao Ting said, pulling a blank check and a pen from her purse. She placed them in front of Ye Xiu and said, ”Fill in any amount you want.”

Few men in the world could resist such a move. Usually, it was men who used this trick to chase women, but here the roles were reversed, with Cao Ting pursuing Ye Xiu.

”Really?” Ye Xiu asked.

”Of course!” Seeing Ye Xiu seemed tempted, Cao Ting was secretly thrilled. She shrugged and said, ”Not only am I beautiful with a great figure, but I’m also rich. Fill it out for whatever you want.”

”Alright!” Ye Xiu picked up the pen. As he wrote on the check, he mumbled, ”Ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine yuan, and ninety-nine cents...”

If the check hadn’t been capped at one hundred million, Ye Xiu’s pen could have bankrupted her.

As Cao Ting heard the numbers Ye Xiu was reciting, the wealthy woman’s smile on her face gradually faded. She hadn’t expected him to be so greedy and ask for so much right away.

”Time to pay up,” Ye Xiu said with a smile, pushing the check toward her.

Cao Ting was mortified. She had assets worth several hundred million, but they were just that—assets. She didn’t have that much cash in her bank account.

”Tingting, what are you doing here?”

Just as Cao Ting was stuck in an awkward position, a well-dressed young man walked over.

”Oh, nothing. I just saw a friend and came to say hello,” Cao Ting said with a strained laugh.

”A friend?”

The young man looked at Ye Xiu. The moment he saw that he was completely outshone by Ye Xiu’s looks, his heart filled with jealousy, and his gaze turned hostile. Suddenly, he spotted the check on the table. When he saw the number, his face turned ugly and he demanded, ”Tingting, what is this? Are you planning to spend a hundred million to keep him?”

He was, in fact, a man Cao Ting was paying to keep, so he knew exactly what that check implied. She kept him for a mere 20,000 a month, yet she was offering Ye Xiu 100 million. This infuriated him. Compared to Ye Xiu, he felt like a rotten cabbage.
