Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

As soon as these words were spoken.

It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the original atmosphere.

Both Li Jiayin and Xu Wendong froze on the spot, their faces full of surprise and confusion.

”No way?”

”Could it be that I’ve been exposed?”

”That shouldn’t be possible, I’ve been hiding so well, how could he see through my identity?” Xu Wendong’s heart suddenly sank, as if he’d fallen into an ice cellar, his heart pounding violently.

His mind quickly began to review every little thing since he’d come to the Heavenly Nether Sect, carefully recalling everything he’d done, trying to find any flaw that might have led to his identity being exposed.

However, no matter how he thought it over, he felt that every step he’d taken had been cautious, without any obvious flaws.

Li Jiayin was just as puzzled. She turned her head to look at Li Lingtian and said with a hint of doubt, ”Father, Lin Mo is certainly his real name, he’s from the Lin Family. What are you thinking?”

In this region, the Three Great Forces seemed harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes they schemed against each other, all kinds of methods emerging endlessly, including sending spies into one another’s ranks.

So when Li Lingtian asked this question, Li Jiayin instinctively thought her father suspected that a spy had slipped in and was hiding by their side.

”Master, Lin Mo really is my given name.” Xu Wendong forced himself to remain calm, speaking in an even tone, though his heart was still uneasy.

Seeing this, Li Lingtian didn’t press the matter. He smiled faintly, waved his hand lightly, and said, ”Since that’s the case, you may withdraw for now. Your master has only just recovered and still needs some time to properly recuperate.”

”Also, this time you’ve rendered great merit. I must think carefully about how to reward you.”

With that, he lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot. His whole person shot into the air like an eagle spreading its wings, soaring toward the great hall atop Sect Master Peak.

The aura unique to a Ghost Control Realm expert gradually dispersed as he left, and only then did Xu Wendong feel as if a great weight had been lifted, letting out a long breath of relief.

”Junior Brother, don’t take it to heart. My father is, after all, the Sect Master. He has countless matters to attend to, it’s inevitable he’ll be a bit suspicious at times.” Li Jiayin gently rubbed her forehead, a trace of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

In fact, she had once suspected Xu Wendong as well.

But after careful consideration, she felt that if Xu Wendong really were a spy from another sect, with his Talent he would receive generous treatment in any sect. There would be no need for him to conceal his identity and painstakingly work his way up.

Moreover, Xu Wendong had no reason to risk his life and help Li Lingtian with such dedication.

”It’s nothing.” Xu Wendong nodded slightly, his expression calm.

”Let’s head back and rest first. Tomorrow, I’ll take you somewhere nice.” Li Jiayin smiled mysteriously, the corners of her lips lifting to reveal two shallow dimples.

This time Xu Wendong had helped her father so much; naturally, she wanted to show her gratitude properly.

...

The next morning, soft sunlight streamed through the crack in the window and spilled into Xu Wendong’s room.

Xu Wendong slowly withdrew from deep Cultivation. He opened his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them.

He felt the pulsing of that cluster of Yin Fire in his Dantian, as if he could hear it growling in a low voice. He took a deep breath, secretly marveling in his heart: ”So the restriction on Lake Heart Island was this mysterious Yin Fire, and it’s only because I was fortunate enough to cultivate the Nine Netherworlds Manual that I could draw this restriction into my body.”

”This power seems to have a unique sense for Yin Energy and Soul Power. As long as I carefully nourish it with my own Soul Power and Yin Energy, the Yin Fire will be inexhaustible and grow ever stronger.”

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Xu Wendong’s eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.

He couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. Letting out a loud laugh, he suddenly extended a finger, attempting to trigger the power of the Yin Fire.

In an instant, the temperature in the room soared, as if it had suddenly turned into a blazing furnace.

The ghostly blue flames were like a nimble fire serpent, dancing joyfully on his fingertip.

The flames radiated an extreme heat that sent chills down one’s spine, as though they could burn all things under heaven into ashes.

Xu Wendong thought to himself that if he threw out this flame unexpectedly in battle, it would probably be like a sharp blade, directly burning through his enemy.

Even someone as powerful as Wu Tianxiong might not be able to withstand this terrifying force.

”Knock, knock...” Just then, someone gently knocked on the door, and Li Jiayin’s crisp voice sounded from outside: ”Junior Brother, are you up yet?”

Xu Wendong stood up and quickly walked over to open the door.

He saw Li Jiayin standing gracefully outside the door, like a flower blooming in the Morning Dew, radiating a captivating brilliance.

Li Jiayin seemed to have carefully dressed up today. She wore a white long dress tailored perfectly to her figure, outlining her proud curves; every move she made exuded graceful charm.

On her breathtakingly beautiful face was a faint smile, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, bright and alluring.

There was a hint of shyness in her eyes, like a clear spring, limpid and enchanting.

The scene was like the most beautiful flower under heaven quietly blooming before Xu Wendong’s eyes, leaving him momentarily dazed.

”Junior Brother?” Seeing Xu Wendong standing there in a daze without reacting for a long time, Li Jiayin couldn’t help calling out shyly.

She reached out and gently tugged Xu Wendong, finally pulling him back from his reverie.

”Senior Sister, you’re so beautiful.” Xu Wendong said blankly, his gaze full of admiration and appreciation.

No woman dislikes hearing such sincere praise. Although Li Jiayin was usually known as the Heavenly Nether Sect’s Iceberg Beauty, she had merely buried her warmth deep in her heart.

At this moment, hearing Xu Wendong’s compliment, a faint blush crept onto her cheeks, like the evening glow at the edge of the sky.

”You and your slick tongue. Come on, I told you I’d take you somewhere nice.” Li Jiayin chided him lightly, then grabbed Xu Wendong’s hand and directly led him out of Sect Master Peak.

Along the way, many disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect witnessed this scene.

They all froze where they stood, eyes wide as saucers, jealousy burning in their gaze.

”Damn! Isn’t that Lin Mo? He actually... he’s actually being led away by Senior Sister!”

”Senior Sister looks so beautiful today, and she even smiled! That smile could melt a person’s heart!”

”Where are they going? No, Senior Sister, you can only be mine...”

”Bullshit, Senior Sister is mine!”

Countless disciples were howling in their hearts, as if their cries were about to pierce the heavens.

If looks could kill right now, Xu Wendong would probably have been riddled with holes.

He was completely unaware of how many disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect were seething with jealousy at this moment, wishing they could immediately take his place.

And this scene was quickly spread by those with agendas, especially to Wu Tianxiong’s ears.

Everyone in the Heavenly Nether Sect knew that Wu Tianxiong had long been infatuated with Li Jiayin.

He had even once made a ruthless declaration that within the Heavenly Nether Sect, only he was worthy of Li Jiayin, and anyone else who dared harbor improper thoughts about her would be courting death.

Now, Xu Wendong had seized this favorable position by the water and grown close to Li Jiayin in such an intimate way—how could this not make Wu Tianxiong burn with rage?
