The Invincible Supreme Medical God

In Baili City, with a population of five hundred thousand, the number of people cultivating the Innate Realm could be called double upon double!

"In three days, it will be my grandfather’s 80th birthday. Can you go with me?" Yuhe said softly.

Qing Shui was a bit puzzled. Why was Yuhe suddenly inviting him to go along? After working together with Shi Qingzhuang, Qing Shui had decided to focus solely on Shi Qingzhuang. As for matters related to Wenren Wushuang, his concern came purely from friendship, nothing more.

The spark of love that flares between a man and a girl can happen in an instant, and under unexpected circumstances!

It wasn’t that he had never thought of once having Shi Qingzhuang, Yuhe, and Wenren Wushuang. But people change with time. Wenren Wushuang would have made him fall; if no accident had occurred, the person he was most likely to propose to would have been Wushuang. However, that’s life. Who knew that something related to Shi Qingzhuang would suddenly appear out of nowhere in the vast wilderness. Now, Qing Shui only wanted to be good to Shi Qingzhuang. Unfortunately, things were never as simple as they looked.

Because even now, Qing Shui still couldn’t even begin to guess Shi Qingzhuang’s heart! Qing Shui looked at Yuhe’s slightly despondent expression and gently nodded, indicating his agreement.

After Qing Shui agreed to his request, Yuhe was overjoyed. Earlier, his brows had been knotted tightly together, but finally relaxed. His face bloomed with a radiant smile.

That brilliant smile revealed his white teeth. On that jade-like face as fair as snow, his dark eyes were filled with intelligence and good fortune.

Qing Shui silently sighed. Yuhe truly carried a heavy burden. Since childhood he had lacked parental love; with his status being in name only, he didn’t even have the right to speak out when it came to marriage matters.

After staying for a while, Qing Shui bid farewell to Yuhe and lifted his head as he left. From the moment he arrived there to the moment he left, Qing Shui hadn’t done or said anything, whether in words or in manner, to tease Yuhe. Yuhe felt that something was off... He felt that Qing Shui wanted to draw a line between the two of them.

The strings of his heart twisted, as though he had suddenly lost something... some precious thing he had once had, but had now lost because he hadn’t cherished it.

Yuhe forced himself to maintain a smile as he watched Qing Shui’s retreating back, his eyes growing dim. He had already thought it through. Qing Shui and himself—how could they possibly have a future together?

Thinking of his restricted freedom, recalling how he had once joked with Qing Shui that if he were to have a man outside, that guy would definitely be Qing Shui, Yuhe couldn’t help his tears from flowing, though he tried hard to force his face under control, his cheeks still drooped.

———

After Qing Shui left, he walked through the bustling streets, then arrived at an intersection, which was blocked by a group of sturdy men with smiling faces.

Qing Shui happily glanced at the people obstructing his path.

"Friend, can I have a word with you!" That guy showed a smile, baring his teeth!

"Not for free."

"Hey, kid, our Green Wolf Gang just wants to talk to you, why are you so arrogant?" A robust young man with bulging muscles, looking like a half-dazed brute, roared.

"Green Wolf Gang? What the hell is that?" Qing Shui shook his head.

"Even if a deal fails, there should still be friendly relations between the buyers and the sellers, no?" The one leading them smiled.

Qing Shui took the man before him in with a glance. This guy was around twenty-four or twenty-five, full of confidence. Though his manner seemed relaxed and even somewhat friendly, his eyes showed composure.

Qing Shui glanced again at the unruly members behind the leader. They all looked bored, a bit out of place, and completely lacking in discipline. "Green Wolf Gang, don’t tell me it was founded today? By just a few of you?"

"How did you know..."

"Second Little Flying Elephant, shut your drunk mouth!" Another skinny young man cut in, as the muscular youth from earlier blurted out by accident.

"I don’t want to lie to you, my friend. You’re right. You could say we all come from poor families. In fact, among the dozen or so members of the Green Wolf Gang, we’re all orphans who grew up in the city." The leader sighed.

Qing Shui stared into the young man’s eyes and smiled. "I don’t care whether you’re telling the truth or just spouting lies. Why are you telling me all this? You want money from me? Sorry, but I’m poor too."

The leader stared blankly at Qing Shui, at a loss for words.

"I’m not a beggar, I just want to work with you!" The leader said hurriedly. This time, he lost control from his own palm.

"Work together? Why would I want that?" Qing Shui frowned. Why did this group of little punks want to work with him?

"We hope you’ll join our gang, no, we hope you’ll lead us."

The leader’s words left Qing Shui greatly astonished. What on earth was going on?

"I’ll give you five minutes. Let’s see if you can move me with your words."

"We know you’re Qing Shui of the Qing Clan, and we hope that in the future, if you ever need help, you can come to us. We’ve got a network throughout the entire city, and we know the latest happenings and news. We’re willing to be your arms and legs. For some reason, I feel you’re someone who can accomplish great things and lead us to greatness. Look at us, a bunch of cruel, rough fellows. If we want to rise up and gain some power, our only option is to follow someone capable."

"You say you know all the events in Baili City? Tell me something that proves you’re of value to me."

"The black fish of Yuhe Inn was supplied by you."

"..."

Qing Shui was extremely surprised inside, but he didn’t let that surprise show on his face. He just wrote with pen and paper, then said: "Wushuang, as soon as you see this, return to Baili City at once. I have a solution to your problem."

"Deliver this to Tianhe City; I don’t care what method you use. As long as you can deliver this letter to a person called Wenren Wushuang within ten days. She’s extremely beautiful and is currently on her way to the Xue Family. As long as you complete this task, I’ll be willing to work with you."

After that, Qing Shui handed the letter to the leader.

"This is five hundred taels of silver. For your expenses. Don’t be afraid to spend money; I only demand efficiency. If you can’t even accomplish this, then there’s no need to come looking for me again."

After saying this, Qing Shui walked off to the left.

"Boss, is he really worth us following?" The skinny fellow asked doubtfully.

"I’ve looked into his history and linked up with him after he arrived in Baili City. He’s definitely not an ordinary person. If we invest heavily in him, we’ll definitely flourish."

The others remained silent, because they knew their leader had extraordinary judgment. Soon, their eyes were all filled with conviction! After Qing Shui left, he wasn’t sure whether this was the right or wrong decision. In the end, he stopped thinking about it. At worst, he’d just lose five hundred taels of silver. After all, since he hadn’t said anything earlier, walking his own path shouldn’t bring any trouble. He wasn’t afraid of trouble. If, due to this small bit of carelessness, he could make Wenren Wushuang hurry back in time, it would be worth it.

Three days passed. For the Yu Family in Hundred-Mile City, it was a very important day. Today was the old man’s 80th birthday. Over ten years ago, the Yu Family had once been one of the most outstanding families in Baili City. Even now, it was still one of the four great Clans.

Anyone whose name was widely known in Baili City would attend the Yu Family’s longevity celebration and bring gifts for him. Too many people wanted to establish ties with the Yu Family. After all, in this city with a population just over one million, the Yu Family was considered extremely noble.

"Mother, I promised Yuhe that I would help his grandfather celebrate his birthday." "You should come along with Auntie." Only now did Qing Shui realize that his mother would also be visiting the Yu Family today. He could only awkwardly scratch his head in embarrassment.

"Ai, your mother is too old for these occasions. My son and a pretty girl are going together."

"How is that possible? How old are you? Many people think you haven’t even started cultivating yet. Besides, you still have that secret charm that attracts others. If you’re so gorgeous, how could anyone say you’re old? Whoever says you’re old, their teeth will end up scattered all over the floor."
