Medical and Martial God

”Oh, okay...”

Ye Lin’er, being the simple and sweet girl she was, didn’t even think before scampering off to push the bus.

Her agent was speechless. Every member of the Ye Family is as cunning as a monkey; how could Ye Lin’er be so pure and simple?

She hurriedly got off the bus to help.

Li Ran, Tajiguli, Zong Rui, and Su Mu, along with their agents and assistants, were stunned once again.

Li Ran was only trying to make things difficult for Ye Lin’er and Shi Hexuan by deliberately asking them to push the bus. They had seen Shi Hexuan frown before he got out, so it was clear he had seen through Li Ran’s intentions. Yet, Ye Lin’er had gotten out of the vehicle cheerfully.

So Ye Lin’er really is that innocent, Zong Rui’s eyes gleamed as he began to have ideas about her.

”Sister Li Ran, I think Ye Lin’er suits the ’pure and innocent’ persona even more than you do,” Tajiguli said with veiled sarcasm.

Celebrities all have personas tailored for them by their management companies. For instance, everything about Li Ran—her looks, makeup, and clothing—was designed to be the epitome of innocence. Thus, at her management company’s request, she had maintained a pure and innocent image since her debut. Her fans all believed her to be as simple as a blank sheet of paper, an ethereal and naive beauty.

”Hmph! Don’t be fooled by her. She’s just a wolf in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be pure, young, and naive in front of us,” Li Ran snorted. Her disgust for Ye Lin’er peaked as she began scheming of ways to force her out of the entertainment industry.

It was simply because Ye Lin’er was younger, prettier, and purer than she was. If Ye Lin’er became popular, Li Ran’s own image as a pure and innocent idol would be completely usurped.

Tajiguli, Zong Rui, and Su Mu sneered inwardly. Isn’t she just describing herself? Others might not know what Li Ran was really like, but they were well aware.

”It’s stuffy in here. I’m going out for some air,” Li Ran said, agitated, and got up to leave the bus.

Seeing Ye Lin’er pushing the bus with the bodyguards, she walked over and subtly tripped her.

Ye Lin’er was already bent over, putting all her effort into pushing. The ground beneath her was muddy, and Li Ran’s trip made her lose her balance instantly. SPLAT! She toppled over, landing flat on her face in the muck.

”Oh my, Ye Lin’er, how could you be so careless? Are you okay? Get up, quickly...” Li Ran played the part of a good samaritan, bending over to help Ye Lin’er up while feigning concern. ”Look at you, so careless. Your clothes are all dirty. Did you bring a change of clothes? Hurry back to the bus and change so you don’t catch a cold.”

”I’m okay, Sister Ran, thank you!” Ye Lin’er replied gratefully. She had been so focused on pushing the bus that she didn’t notice Li Ran had been the one to trip her.

Her agent, however, had seen everything but was unable to react in time. A surge of anger rose within her as she watched Li Ran’s duplicitous act. She was about to retaliate on Ye Lin’er’s behalf when she suddenly caught sight of someone on the mountain beside the road and turned to look.

The Young Master?

Ye Xiu nodded at the agent and flicked his finger.

THUD!

Li Ran, who had just helped Ye Lin’er up, promptly sat right down in the mud.

Seeing this, everyone almost burst out laughing.

”Sister Ran, are you okay?” Ye Lin’er asked, rushing to help Li Ran with genuine concern.

”Stop pretending to be nice!” Li Ran, publicly humiliated, flew into a rage. She swatted Ye Lin’er’s hand away and scrambled to her feet, demanding, ”What’s wrong with you, Ye Lin’er? I kindly helped you up, and you repay my kindness by pushing me down! How can you be so vicious at your age?”

Ye Lin’er was stunned by the accusation. ”Sister Ran, I didn’t push you.”

”You still dare to deny it!” Having lost all face and with nowhere to vent her fury, Li Ran swung her mud-covered right hand toward Ye Lin’er’s face.

The agent reacted instantly, pulling Ye Lin’er back a few steps.

Li Ran’s slap hit nothing but air. Suddenly, her legs gave out from under her again. THUD! She fell back onto the ground, landing right in a puddle this time.

”Sister Ran, it’s muddy and slippery here, and you’re wearing high heels. You should be more careful,” Ye Lin’er kindly reminded her.

”You...” Li Ran gasped, seething with anger, and began to shriek, ”Wang Xuan! Li Meng!”

Wang Xuan was her agent, and Li Meng was her assistant.

Hearing the shouts from inside the bus, Wang Xuan and Li Meng hurried out to see what was wrong. They froze for a moment upon seeing Li Ran sitting in a muddy puddle before rushing over to help her up.

SLAP!

The moment Li Ran was on her feet, she slapped both Wang Xuan and Li Meng across the face. ”Why didn’t you follow me when I got off? I’ve been completely humiliated because of you!”

Wang Xuan and Li Meng swallowed their anger, not daring to speak out. Wang Xuan said, ”Ranran, your pants are soaked. You should get back on the bus and change before you catch a cold.”

Though she hadn’t finished venting, Li Ran had to admit Wang Xuan was right. Besides, her current state was damaging her image.

She pointed a trembling finger at Ye Lin’er, her teeth clenched. ”Ye Lin’er, you bitch! You just wait. This isn’t over between us.”

With that, she stormed back onto the bus. Shortly after, Zong Rui, Su Mu, Tajiguli, and the others got off.

”I didn’t push her,” Ye Lin’er said to her agent, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her agent quickly wiped her tears away, comforting her. ”Ling’er, don’t cry. She’s just looking for an excuse to pick on you. She was the one who tripped you earlier, too. Don’t stoop to her level.”

”But I didn’t do anything to offend her. Why is she doing this to me?” Ye Lin’er couldn’t understand.

The agent sighed inwardly. You poor, naive girl. This is the entertainment industry; this is how society is. Even if you don’t provoke anyone, others will come after you out of pure jealousy.

She stole a glance at Ye Xiu on the mountain and saw his face was as cold as ice. Li Ran probably doesn’t have much longer to live. Daring to bully Huang Quan’s sister? She’s just courting death!

Up on the mountain, Ye Xiu was burning with rage. That wretched woman. She tormented me ten years ago, and now she’s tormenting my sister. I’ll show her what real torment is.

He immediately activated the Earth System Totem.

WHOOSH!

A landslide suddenly began, sending rocks and mud tumbling down the mountain. Although Ye Xiu hadn’t yet fully unlocked the potential of the Earth System Totem, he could still manage a small trick like this.

”Look out, it’s a landslide! Get clear!” the driver shouted.

The agent immediately scooped up Ye Lin’er and leaped to safety, while the others scattered to dodge the falling debris. The rocks tumbled down the mountain, crashing into the bus and blocking the road ahead.

Ye Lin’er’s agent was secretly astounded. As expected of Huang Quan... he can create natural disasters so easily.

”What’s happening?”

Inside the bus, Wang Xuan and Li Meng were rummaging through suitcases for a pair of pants for Li Ran. When they heard the commotion and looked out the window, they nearly wet themselves in fear. Forgetting all about the pants, they grabbed Li Ran and scrambled off the bus.

SPLAT!

The three of them slipped and fell hard into the mud. Before they could even try to get up, the mudslide engulfed them.

Had Ye Xiu not deliberately held back the larger stones, the three of them would have been crushed to death. However, being buried in the mudslide, while painless, was more than enough to leave Li Ran utterly and completely humiliated.
