Supreme Divine Physician in the City

"This..."

Immediately, the entire atmosphere inside the carriage turned cold.

Everyone wasn’t foolish.

How could they not understand that Ye Xuan wanted them to help the other Divine Weapons of Purgatory, merely because he didn’t want them to be in danger?

This time in the Northwest, all sorts of strange and bizarre people were present, even the computer-savvy Ye Lang couldn’t investigate their identities. They were mysterious, powerful, and terrifyingly dangerous!

Ye Xuan was always like this, always thinking about them...

After a brief silence.

Ye Lang, who was driving, rare in his solemnity, said, "Boss, stop treating us like fools. Everyone knows what you’re thinking. I’ll agree to anything you say, but this request, I won’t agree to!"

Iron Tower Bear Mountain: "Boss, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but Ye Lang is never wrong, so I don’t agree either."

Chi Lian remained silent, her beautiful eyes flickering, clearly wanting to face danger with Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan frowned, "My words no longer carry weight, huh?"

Ye Lang’s face turned serious, Xiong Shan looked bewildered.

Chi Lian pursed her lips and braced herself, "Brother Black Emperor, it’s not that your words have lost weight, it’s just that... you’re worried about those brothers fighting for their lives. We can just let other brothers go and help, hehe, I’ll go with Ye Lang and Xiong Shan to stay with you, okay?"

Ye Xuan said, "I said, you all leave together."

Ye Lang pouted, still unwilling, "Say what you will, but I’m not leaving. I, Ye Lang, may not have great abilities, but I’ve taken a few bullets for you, and I’m still alive and well, am I not? The people gathered here may be mysterious, but so what? When have I ever been afraid of death?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes widened with anger, "Ye Lang, how dare you!"

The roaring shout scared everyone inside the car.

Ye Lang’s face turned pale, but he still braced himself, "That’s just how it is, Boss. You always try to push us away when something happens, but have you ever considered what we’d feel if something happened to you? Even if we survived, how would we feel inside?"

"I’m used to going it alone. It’s easier doing things by myself." Ye Xuan calmed down, speaking softly.

"That might not be true."

Ye Lang said, "Three years ago, you said the same thing, then you went alone to destroy a mercenary group. Yes, you succeeded back then, but you almost died. If you had taken us, maybe someone among us would have died, but you definitely wouldn’t have been so gravely injured. We all remember this, even if you’ve forgotten."

Ye Xuan: "..."

There was nothing to say because Ye Lang was serious.

This kid’s eloquence, even compared to Ye Xuan, was on par, and what he said was the truth.

Indeed, even though the people who came to the Northwest this time were dangerous, how could the top Divine Weapons of Purgatory be mediocre?

Under Qigong, it would be hard for anyone to be their match!

Moreover, they each had their own strengths, something many Qigong masters couldn’t achieve, they could...

The atmosphere turned tense and anxious.

Ye Lang, who had always been obedient to Ye Xuan, dared to confront Ye Xuan out of a rare sense of loyalty, making the entire atmosphere in the car subtle.

Neither side was willing to back down.

In the midst of the tension.

"You three, stay."

Ye Xiaoying, who had been silent since getting in the car, suddenly spoke.

The three were overjoyed.

Ye Xuan’s scalp tingled, staring fiercely at Ye Xiaoying, "Did I ever ask you to make decisions for me?"

"This is my own decision."

Ye Xiaoying said calmly, "On this trip, you and I are on different paths. You don’t need them, but I do. What does that have to do with you?"

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, "Ye Xiaoying, stop messing around!"

Ye Xiaoying sneered, blatantly ignoring him.

Ye Lang smiled knowingly, "Yes, Boss, or rather... Ye Xuan, didn’t you say you don’t need us? Someone does. From now until the end of this trip, we’re not part of Purgatory anymore. You’re not our boss, Miss Ye is our new boss."

Ye Xuan glared.

Chi Lian raised her hands in agreement, "I agree, we are temporarily bought by Ye Xiaoying!"

Xiong Shan scratched his head, "Well... I agree too, though I still don’t know what’s happening."

Ye Xuan turned black with bewilderment.

What the hell is this?

If any harm befalls them, I’ll fight you!

But Ye Xiaoying didn’t care for Ye Xuan’s anger in the least. She acted because she understood Chi Lian, Ye Lang, and their thoughts.

If she didn’t hold the same beliefs, why would she follow Ye Xuan to this place?

Death wasn’t so scary.

Living timidly and being unable to help those who matter most is the true agony and fear.

Ye Xiaoying understood them.

...

And so it was settled.

Chi Lian, Ye Lang, and Xiong Shan, three of the core members of Purgatory who followed Ye Xuan for years, stayed behind, while the other Divine Weapons were forcibly ordered to leave first thing the next morning.

Ye Xuan, irate and jumping with rage, had no choice.

To stay, those who usually didn’t get along suddenly shared a common understanding, clinging to Ye Xiaoying as their last resort, refusing to recognize Ye Xuan as boss.

What could Ye Xuan do?

The decision lay with them, and Ye Xuan couldn’t control them even if he wanted to.

"I’ve been a useless boss!"

Ye Xuan felt like a failure, living a more and more unsuccessful life.

Unable to secure his wife at home, and now even those who usually listened to him weren’t as obedient, it was simply...

"Sigh, forget it!"

At this point, Ye Xuan could only accept this messed-up reality.

Thus, the group of five checked into the best hotel in the city at the foot of the Snow Mountain.

After dinner, as the night deepened.

Ye Xuan suggested a small meeting.

Everyone turned to look at Ye Xiaoying.

Only after Ye Xiaoying nodded did they accept Ye Xuan’s proposal.

Alright... Ye Xiaoying really was the boss.

I endure!

Thus, the five of them held a meeting in Xiong Shan’s room.

The reason being, Xiong Shan was the slowest, without many living aspirations, so having a meeting there meant they could throw trash anywhere, snack on seeds... anyway, he didn’t care.

A broken little table, five gathered around, four sat while Xiong Shan stood because there were only four chairs in the room.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Ye Xuan lit a cigarette, coughed twice, and was about to speak.

It was then that Ye Xiaoying, with a significant demeanor, began, "Although most people gathered in the Northwest are after the treasure, now that the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus has surfaced, there will undoubtedly be many vying for it. We need to understand every competitor’s background and strength before the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus fully matures."

Ye Xuan: "..."

That was what he wanted to say too.
