Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 802: Chapter 800: Fanning the Flames

The simple words made Yang Fan feel as though they were booming in his ears.

He stood there dazed, his eyes slightly vacant.

Just as the master said.

If that was the choice of the little martial sister.

Even if he defeated Xu Wendong, what would it matter?

Xia Hou added, ”Secondly, Xu Wendong’s accomplishments in alchemy are evident to all. Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, no one from ancient times to now has been able to refine a Supreme Foundation Building Pill except him.”

”Able to refine a Supreme Foundation Building Pill at the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment, his future is limitless.”

”He is a blessing to our Elixir Sect.”

”For our Elixir Sect, this is also a great opportunity.”

”As long as he is here, the overall strength of our Elixir Sect will rise to a higher level.”

”As a disciple of our Elixir Sect, you should wish for our sect to stand out in the great competition of the Four Great Sects, to get rid of the title of being the last, right?”

Yang Fan forced a smile without saying much.

The Four Great Sects host a grand competition every decade, but unfortunately, the ranking of the Elixir Sect has always been stable.

It has always remained at the bottom.

Although they have always worked hard, they are not opponents of the other Three Great Sects.

”Master, what do you want the disciple to do?” Yang Fan calmly asked.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Xu Wendong’s presence could enhance the overall strength of the Elixir Sect’s disciples.

In matters of great importance, he still knew how to choose.

Xia Hou: ”The duel tomorrow is already public knowledge and unavoidable.”

”Although tomorrow’s contest is unavoidable, the outcome can be determined by you.”

Yang Fan showed a bitter smile.

At this point, how could he not understand the master’s meaning?

He wanted him to show mercy and give Xu Wendong a way out.

He wanted him to lose to Xu Wendong!

He was unwilling, angry, but did not dare to go against the master’s words.

Because he also knew that Xu Wendong could not lose to him.

”I know you feel wronged, but for the long-term development of the sect, we have no other choice.” Xia Hou sighed lightly: ”To make up for your grievances, once you step into the Golden Core Stage, I will bestow upon you a magic artifact!”

Xia Hou didn’t want to fake the outcome.

He also wanted his disciple to win.

But in martial arts duels, it’s either death or injury.

He couldn’t bear to see Xu Wendong get injured either.

Firstly, his daughter is fond of him.

Secondly, the guy is indeed a genius in the Alchemy Dao.

Both are precious; he could only offer a magic artifact to compensate this disciple.

Yang Fan hurriedly said, ”Master, you overstate it. This matter was originally caused by me, and it is only right for me to clean up the aftermath. Rest assured, Junior Brother Xu will not be harmed in tomorrow’s duel!”

Xia Hou nodded with relief, ”Go then!”

”Disciple takes his leave!” Yang Fan bowed and exited Xia Hou’s cultivation cave, returning alone to his quarters, dejected.

He glanced in the direction of the back mountain.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

If it weren’t for his emotional entanglement, how would things have come to this?

His state of mind is still not firm enough!

Just at that moment.

A respectful voice came from behind: ”Senior Brother Yang, the Second Elder requests your presence.”

Yang Fan turned around, his brows tightly knitted, eyes filled with doubt: ”What does the Second Elder need me for?”

The young man respectfully replied, ”The Second Elder did not mention.”

Though curious, Yang Fan decided to pay a visit to the Second Elder, for only by going there would he find out the purpose of the Second Elder’s summons.

A moment later.

Yang Fan arrived at the entrance of the Second Elder Dustless’ cave: ”Junior Yang Fan pays respects to the Second Elder.”

”Come in and talk.”

Yang Fan stepped in boldly.

As he entered the cave, an invisible barrier sealed the entrance.

Feeling a barrier rise behind him, a big question mark instantly appeared in Yang Fan’s mind.

There was no shady business between the two of them.

Was it necessary to use a barrier?

Still, he bowed respectfully towards Dustless on the stone bed: ”Greetings to the Second Elder!”

”No need for such formalities between us.” Dustless smiled kindly, stroking his beard. ”I heard you have a martial stage fight with Xu Wendong tomorrow?”

Yang Fan replied, ”Yes.”

Dustless stood up, inviting Yang Fan to sit at the stone table, pouring him a cup of Hundred Flowers Dew, and curiously asked, ”How confident are you in winning tomorrow’s fight?”

Upon hearing this.

Annoyance rose in Yang Fan’s heart, as he merely has a cultivation level of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, while Xu Wendong is only the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment. Against him, wouldn’t it be a complete victory?

Asking how confident he was, wasn’t he underestimating him a bit?

Though degraded, Yang Fan didn’t show any displeasure; after all, the Enforcement Hall Elder is a leader of high stature in the entire Elixir Sect.

He politely replied, ”Replying to the Second Elder, Junior has a 90% confidence of defeating Xu Wendong.”

He didn’t say a full hundred because one should remain humble.

Dustless smiled and shook his head, ”I do not deny your strength, but do not underestimate Xu Wendong either; his power is stronger than you might imagine.”

Hearing this, Yang Fan frowned, ”How does the Second Elder know his strength?”

Dustless said, ”I heard rumors that Xu Wendong once killed the Fourth Master of the Azure Dragon Stronghold and even managed to escape from the Second Master Yao Tian afterwards, before joining our Elixir Sect.”

While there wasn’t any emotion on Yang Fan’s face, inside, tidal waves surged, not because Xu Wendong killed the Fourth Master of the Azure Dragon Stronghold.

But because he managed to escape from Yao Tian, a top expert at the Foundation Establishment Peak.

Just the fact that Xu Wendong could escape from his hands was enough to make it necessary to take him seriously.

Thinking to himself.

If I go all out, can I really defeat Xu Wendong?

With a sudden change in tone, Dustless inquired, ”I heard the Sect Leader summoned you before. Was it to tell you to lose to Xu Wendong?”

Yang Fan’s pupils suddenly contracted: ”Why does the Second Elder say this?”

He found it hard to believe the Second Elder knew the master’s intention for summoning him.

Dustless’ lips curled into a sly smile: ”Not only do I know this, I reckon a lot of people can guess it too. Yes, many people might guess that you will indeed lose to Xu Wendong tomorrow.”

Yang Fan instinctively swallowed: ”I don’t understand!”

”It’s simple.” Dustless said, ”Everyone knows the young lady has feelings for Xu Wendong, just hasn’t expressed it. Frankly, Xu Wendong is half an Imperial Son-in-law of our Elixir Sect.”

”Although you’re the Sect Leader’s Inner Chamber Disciple, how can your status compare with an Imperial Son-in-law?”

”So, in a duel between you two, who else but you would lose?”

”However, losing to the future Imperial Son-in-law of the Elixir Sect isn’t disgraceful, is it?” he said with a meaningful smile.
