Chapter 1081:- Astonished! Shaken! (5)
Qing Mu glanced at Yun Luofeng. "Tower Master, I think that there will still be spies among the physicians who joined Physician Tower. Should we find a way to lure them out?"
"Lure them out?" The corner of Yun Luofeng's turned up. "Don't you think that's too troublesome?"
"Um..." Qing Mu was startled. "It would be harmful to the Physician Tower if we don't lure them out."
Yun Luofeng lazily leaned against the back of her chair with a bewitching smile. "It doesn't need to be that troublesome! There is a more convenient way to dispel their intention to harm the Physician Tower."
"What way?"
"This method is very simple, and that is... to make the Wu Family and Ou Family cease to exist! Or turn them into our own tool."
Qing Mu was completely dumbfounded.
Luring out a spy was troublesome? So she will eliminate the origin of these spies? Who else besides her would say something so domineering in this world?
Qing Mu subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. "Tower Master, isn't this more troublesome?"
"Qing Mu," Yun Luofeng looked up and stared at him, "You have to understand that if you kill a spy, another spy will come. The best solution is to become powerful! On a continent that reveres strength, as long as you possess a strong enough power, who would dare to plot against you?"
Qing Mu grew silent.
Yun Luofeng was right. The only permanent solution was to become formidable! Spies could never be completely cleared. It was only when the Physician Tower was so strong that people would not plot against it that spies would stop appearing!
"I'm tired." Yun Luofeng lazily stretched. "You're excused."
Qing Mu wryly chuckled with helplessness. Perhaps he was truly old, he could not see through a matter as well as a youngster.
Shooting one last glance at the fatigued Yun Luofeng, Qing Mu turned around and walked out, cautiously closing the door.
After he left, Yun Luofeng suddenly opened her eyes. Through the veil covering the window, she looked at the clear blue sky. "Yun Xiao, wait for me. I will use the quickest speed to become stronger and trace your steps!"
...
On another continent, maple leaves wildly danced in the air. Blood dyed the entire forest red and lustrously stood out in the midst of the vibrant rain of leaves.
A countless number of people stood in the forest, encircling a man.
The man was handsome with chiseled looks. His black robes fluttered in the wild winds, making him appear aloof and domineering. His dark and deep eyes slowly swept across the people around him, and his imposing killing intent rushed out.
Fierce winds abruptly surged again, drawing in the fallen leaves. The leaves turned into an innumerable amount of sharp, long swords and pierced into the throats of the enemies in an instant, snuffing out their lives.
The expressions of the leading old men all drastically changed, and their gaze toward the man filled with caution and fear. Even so, they did not back up or get terrified by the man's powerful aura.
"Ghost Emperor! You should be sentenced to death since you killed so many people!" The old man suppressed the panic festering in his heart and said, "However, I will bear your youth and ignorance in mind and am willing to spare your life. Hand the Void Mirror over, and I will spare your life!"
"Cough, cough!"
Qin Yuan coughed and climbed up from the ground, his complexion revealing his weakness. After hearing the old man's shameless words, he could not help but snort and sneer, "Those people died in my master's hands because they were trying to steal the Void Mirror. Why can't my master kill them? Aren't you also here to steal the treasure? So how could you have the nerve to say such pompous words!"
.
.
.
Chapter 1082:- Astonished! Shaken! (6)
"The Void Mirror belonged to us to begin with. This is simply returning the item to the original owner!" The old man snorted. "Hence, those people he killed were all innocent, and only he is extremely sinful."
"Haha!" Qin Yuan could not resist bursting into laughter. "You have spoken the most shameless words I have ever heard in my life! What do you mean the Void Mirror was yours to begin with? The Void Mirror was possessed by a man named Void thousands of years ago. It was because my master accidentally entered Void's tomb that he discovered the Void Mirror! Don't tell me Void is your ancestor! But I heard that Void was a eunuch!"
The old man wiped the cold sweat from his face, and his expression was quite unsightly. His eyes swirled a few times before he said, "My ancestor is related to Void indeed! So the Void Mirror must go to me!"
His ancestor was related to Void? How could that be? He was merely trying to find a righteous reason to obtain the Void Mirror.
It was every man for himself, or the heavens and earth will destroy you!
Boom!
Just as the elderly man wanted to continue to frighten the man, he saw that man act. That man did not say anything from start to end. Perhaps it was because these people were not worth his words.
However, when he raised his hand, the wind around them abruptly became fierce like sharp blades, invisibly killing people.
Panic surfaced in the old man's eyes. He wanted to dodge those winds at all costs, but regardless of how quick he was, could he win against the winds around him? Within moments, all the people present were sliced into countless pieces by the intense wind blades.
"Qin Yuan." The man pulled out a mirror from his lapels and handed it to Qin Yuan as he said expressionlessly, "Make a trip to the Land of No Return and give this to Feng'er."
Qin Yuan accepted the Void Mirror and reverently stated, "Yes, my lord."
He understood that Mistress was the reason that his master wanted to obtain the Void Mirror at the risk of his life!
"After you go, you don't need to come back. Stay by her side and ensure her safety. As for the people pursuing the Void Mirror, I will eliminate them all." The man's voice was aloof and emotionless, but it caused Qin Yuan to suddenly shudder.
This time, carnage would descend on this continent. Anyone who knew that his master possessed the Void Mirror would be eliminated by him without fail. Simply because... he was not willing to bring any danger to Mistress.
Qin Yuan cupped his fists in respect and shot a final glance at the silhouette of the man's cold and determined back before he turned around and headed the other direction.
Yun Xiao looked back at the direction that Qin Yuan disappeared before looking up at the azure sky, his lips rising with a faint curve.
"With the Void Mirror, your strength will grow faster. As for me, I will conquer this world for you and gift it to you myself!"
...
The current Yun Luofeng had no idea about the events that occurred around Yun Xiao and naturally did not know that for her, he had become the public enemy of the entire continent.
Inside the courtyard, autumn leaves drifted in the sky. On top of the artificial mountain, Yun Luofeng's legs swung back and forth, her posture languid and wicked. Her hands held an invitation, and an enigmatic smile was on her lips.
"Master, why did the Ou Family seek you out?" Lin Ruobai blinked, her eyes full of confusion.
Yun Luofeng smiled. "Last time, I made Ou Ya lose face at Nangong's birthday banquet. She must want to regain her reputation this time, which is why she invited me to join her gathering."
.
.
.
Chapter 1083:- Astonished! Shaken! (7)
Lin Ruobai turned indignant. "Master, I didn't go with you to the Nangong Family last time, so I must follow you to the gathering this time! I would like to see who would dare to bully my master!"
As soon as she thought of the treatment that Yun Luofeng suffered at the birthday banquet, Lin Ruobai would clench her teeth in anger.
Yun Luofeng lightly narrowed her eyes. "Since Ou Ya wants to humiliate me, she will definitely invite Nangong to go too! So I want to use today's events to strengthen Nangong's name!"
Lin Ruobai furiously nodded and hooked her arm around Yun Luofeng's shoulder, gleefully saying, "Master, bring me too! I will go and vent your anger for you."
"Great, then go make the preparations first, and we will depart tonight." Yun Luofeng lazily stretched and leaned against the artificial mountain, a minute smile appearing on her bewitching face. "It looks like we must solve the matters here as soon as possible before we can leave and raise our strength without worry..."
...
It was a dark night. At the riverfront of the Huai River, there was a luxurious cruise. Harmonious and pleasing music reverberated on the river bank, and conversations from handsome youths drifted from inside the cruise.
However, it was not long before those voices were abruptly halted, and everyone turned to look at the male and two females who appeared at the entrance.
The man was handsome with straight brows and shining eyes. His long, lush green robe made his already young face appear younger. However, the smile on the man's lips had a hint of roguish air, making him resemble a ruffian more than a son of nobility.
The girl standing beside the man was extraordinarily beautiful and radiantly magnificent, and her clothes were whiter than snow, so beautiful that it caused people to forget to breathe.
The sight of the two of them standing together made people feel like it was a fresh flower being stuck into a pile of manure. It was truly a great pity!
Of course, there was also another little girl beside the white-robed girl. The girl was young and adorable, and her two eye teeth showed whenever she smiled. Her innocent face had a brilliant smile that unconsciously caused people to feel happy.
"Miss Ou Ya, these two are..."
They did not ask Nangong Yunyi. After all, who in Endless City didn't know about Nangong Yunyi? What made them curious was the identity of the two girls beside Nangong Yunyi.
However, one of the people who went to Nangong Yunyi's birthday banquet recognized Yun Luofeng and was astonished.
Ou Ya lightly smiled. "Allow me to introduce them to you all. This girl's medical talent is superb and even I can't compare to her! Hence, I gathered everyone here today to give you a chance. If you have any hidden illness, this girl will treat you."
Ou Ya's smile was graceful, and her every frown and smile entranced people's mind. Although Ou Ya was not as beautiful as Nangong Lan, her person carried an attraction that made people want to be close to her. Perhaps this was the origin of her charm.
"Is what Miss Ou Ya said true?"
"Her medical skill is more talented than Miss Ou Ya's? Could this girl be the most talented in Endless City? How come I have never heard of her before?"
"I never expected Miss Ou Ya to be put so much effort into us. I do have a hidden illness. If it can be treated this time, all of the credit goes to Miss Ou Ya, and I will remember this gratitude for as long as I live!"
Look at this! Although the physician was Yun Luofeng, all the credit belonged to Ou Ya. She did not do anything and even wanted to use this to trouble Yun Luofeng, but she became the person that everyone thanked in the end.
.
.
.
Chapter 1084:- Astonished! Shaken! (8)
"When did my master agree to treat people?" Lin Ruobai unhappily asked with a snort.
Ou Ya's gaze turned to Yun Luofeng and her company. "Miss Yun, the Families of these people are very powerful within Endless City, and some are only beneath our three great Families. I did this because first, I wanted to help them solve their difficulties, and second, I wanted you to acquire their favor. If you save them, they will certainly be extremely grateful to you! From now on, it will be easy for you to do business inside Endless City."
These people were specially invited here by her, and some even have extensively complicated illnesses. If Yun Luofeng couldn't cure these people, then she can use other people's mouths to harshly humiliate her! And if she can cure them... then these people will definitely thank her and be on the same side as the Ou Family from now on.
Whether Yun Luofeng would reject her was not in her considerations. After all, she would need to have guts to reject so many handsome and talented youths from noble Families!
Yun Luofeng glanced at Ou Ya. "Should I save them and then let them thank you? Do you think I would do a task so arduous and thankless?"
A faint smile appeared on Ou Ya's face. "Miss Yun, you've misunderstood me. I only know you have extraordinary medical skills, which is why I wanted to help them. It's not that I wanted to acquire their favor. Moreover, the one who saved them is you, so the one who acquires their favor will also be you!"
"Apologies, I decline to treat them! Nangong, Xiao Bai, let's go!" After leaving those words behind, Yun Luofeng turned around, wanting to leave.
"Hold on!" Anxiety appeared in Ou Ya's expression. "Miss Yun, just what do you want in order to save them?"
Yun Luofeng's steps paused, and she looked back at Ou Ya with a grin. "Are you willing to do anything as long as I save them?"
Ou Ya was startled, and struggle flickered through her eyes. Over the past years, the relationship between the three great Families has become more and more tumultuous, and the great Families all did their utmost to recruit other factions and expand the power in their hands. This was her purpose for coming here. So, she must agree no matter what!
"Yes, I'm agreeable to anything!"
As expected, gratefulness entered the youths' faces upon hearing Ou Ya's words.
"Then alright," Yun Luofeng raised her brows, "If you marry Nangong, I will save them!"
Swish!
Ou Ya's face abruptly turned white!
She was very confident in her attributes, but if she really married Nangong Yunyi, it would be the same as ruining her whole life. How could she use those attributes to seek an outstanding husband then? She must sell herself for the Ou Family!
"Miss Yun, can you change the terms?" Ou Ya bit her lips. "Even if you want to demand money from our Ou Family, I'm willing to pay!"
Yun Luofeng chuckled. "You previously said that you could accept any terms for the sake of saving them! Are you backing out now? I'm not interested in your Ou Family's wealth and treasures! I only want you to marry Nangong."
No matter how wealthy the Ou Family was, they were not as wealthy as her currently! The Physician Tower was especially the most valuable asset in her possession! As long as the Physician Tower was established, then countless medicinal ingredients would end up in her hands, and all of those ingredients would have an exorbitant price if they were brought out.
Ou Ya's expression became more unsightly, She never expected Yun Luofeng to propose this condition.
.
.
.
Chapter 1085:- Astonished! Shaken! (9)
According to Nangong Yunyi and her level of closeness, shouldn't she want to marry him? Why did she ask for her hand in marriage for him?
Yun Luofeng was clearly threatening Ou Ya to marry Nangong Yunyi, but it became asking for her hand in marriage in Ou Ya's eyes. The change in the wording also drastically transformed the expressed meaning.
Seeing Ou Ya's troubled expression, Yun Luofeng shrugged. "I was only joking just now. After all, with Nangong's status, you aren't worthy of him!"
Ou Ya's face drastically changed, and fury imperceptibly emitted from her eyes. "Miss Yun, what do you mean?"
She wasn't worthy of Nangong Yunyi? With Nangong Yunyi's identity as an illegitimate child, how could she not be worthy of him?
"You've already witnessed my medical skills. Nangong is my junior brother, which is why I said you aren't worthy of him!"
Nangong Yunyi was her junior brother indeed. However, that was in Huaxia...
"Didn't you want treatment?" Yun Luofeng's wicked eyes swept across everyone present, her lips faintly turning up with a wicked smile. "That's fine! However, I'm fairly busy and don't have the time to save you. You can go to the West District to find Nangong if you need something! He will diagnose you and prescribe medicine to you there. Let's go."
Yun Luofeng slowly turned around and headed out of the cabin. Lin Ruobai and Nangong Yunyi followed her and swiftly walked out as well.
"Master, are we leaving just like that?" Lin Ruobai asked, blinking her eyes.
Yun Luofeng was indifferent. "Since we learned their objective, there's no need to stay."
"Yun Luofeng,.." Nangong Yunyi glanced at Yun Luofeng with eyes full of resentment, "Even if you want to push off your responsibilities, why did you push them onto me? Since when did I learn how to treat people?"
Yun Luofeng's features were confident and bold. "I already diagnosed the conditions of all of those people, and I will give their treatment method to you in a moment."
"..." Nangong Yunyi was stupefied. "You are saying that you figured out all of their symptoms in such a short amount of time? How come I didn't know you were so impressive back then?"
"I had a chance encounter after coming here and accidentally improved my medical skills," Yun Luofeng said with a shrug.
Nangong Yunyi's eyes were brimming with envy. "How come I didn't have such a great chance encounter? I will truly anger myself to death if I compare myself to other people!"
"Indeed, luck isn't something that everyone has."
Yun Luofeng had always admitted that luck was very important during her journey up until now. If she did not pick up the Medical God's Code in the library back then, perhaps she would be blasted into pieces from the explosion long ago and would not have today's achievements! If she did not encounter Yun Xiao... perhaps she would have died several times long ago!
"Nangong, go to my residence tomorrow and open diagnosis. You must cure all the patients within three days."
"Three days?" Nangong Yunyi was startled. "This duration is too short."
"It's enough." Yun Luofeng looked up at Nangong Yunyi. "I will give you the prescriptions later. Memorize them all in a night! If you don't have the luck, then you must rely on your hard work!"
Nangong Yunyi grew silent. How could he not know that Yun Luofeng was doing this for him? If he could cure these talented youths, then they would be grateful to him and the people of the Nangong Family would also look at him in a new light.
Yes, since he didn't have the luck, he can only rely on his hard work! Moreover, even though he already expressed a disinterest towards inheriting the Nangong Family, Nangong Lan still wanted to kill him! Hence, he could only take control of the Family into his hands.
.

Chapter 1086:- Astonished! Shaken! (10)
"Nangong, in truth, I also encountered many dangers and endured a lot of hardships during these years. I did this for one objective alone: to survive!'
It was nothing more than her sole desire to survive at all costs!
"Good brother," Nangong Yunyi clapped Yun Luofeng's shoulders and nodded with determination, "I won't disappoint you. One night will be enough."
Seeing Nangong Yunyi's resolute face, Yun Luofeng smiled. "I can only help you to here. The rest depends on yourself. After all, you won't travel that far if you depend on me for everything."
"Thank you." Nangong Yunyi's face was grateful. "That's enough. You've already helped me too much! Yun Luofeng, wait for me. I will chase after you regardless of where you go in the future!"
Yun Luofeng shot a glance at Nangong Yunyi before turning around and saying, "Xiao Bai, let's go then."
After saying that, she started walking forward, and her snow-white figure slowly disappeared from Nangong Yunyi's sight.
...
The next day, early morning
Outside the estate, innumerable youths were looking around outside the door. It was through many discreet inquiries that they learned Yun Luofeng lived here. As for her identity as the Tower Master of the Physician Tower, it was covered up by everyone from the Physician Tower. Although the residents of the West District knew that Yun Luofeng was an accomplice of Qing Mu and the other people, they did not know she was the Tower Master of the Physician Tower!
Nangong Yunyi had placed tables and chairs by the entryway and was calmly taking the pulse of the crowd. His composed manner made him resemble an actual prestigious physician.
As he stated the symptoms of those people, the crowd's trust in him grew. Some of the young girls who once disdained him now looked at him with light emitting from their eyes.
"Miss."
Not far away, a maidservant indignantly glared at Nangong Yunyi and said, annoyed, "These people were clearly sought out by Miss, but it has benefited Nangong Yunyi."
"Do you really think this is a benefit?" Ou Ya snorted. "Even if it was Yun Luofeng, she can't diagnose and treat so many people without any errors. Moreover, Nangong Yunyi doesn't know medicine, to begin with. If he had such brilliant medical talent, he would have already displayed it to woo me. How could he have kept it hidden until now?"
The maidservant's brows knitted. "Is Miss saying that Nangong Yunyi is swindling people?"
Ou Ya contemptuously smiled and turned around as she said, "Let's go. We will go inform the fathers of those youths now and let them know that these people actually easily believed that Nangong Yunyi can treat illnesses!"
Not long after Ou Ya left, the parents flew into a rage after hearing the news and went to pull their children away.
"What are you doing? Nangong Yunyi can treat illnesses? Don't joke with me, more like he only knows how to visit prostitutes! How could he know how to treat illnesses?"
"Qing Ran, let's go home with Father. Your leg has ailed you for so many years and yet all those physicians couldn't cure it, so how could you believe Nangong Yunyi? Father will continue to search for famous physicians to treat you!"
"Son, who said it is your fault that our clan doesn't have any children? It's clearly those women who are ill. Why did you come here for treatment? Follow Father home and don't humiliate yourself!"
"Daughter, I know you suffer because of the scar on your face, but this isn't something that can be treated by medicine. Let's head back. Later, Father will find a husband for you regardless of the price."
.
.
.
Chapter 1087:- Astonished! Shaken! (11)
Those people did not believe in Nangong Yunyi's medical skills from the start. In their view, it was this illegitimate son's misleading lies that led to their children to believe in him.
Nangong Yunyi did not become angry. He merely put away his pen and paper and said with a small smile, "I will stay here for three days. In these three days, you can come and find me for any treatment. Of course, starting tomorrow, I won't only require 10 million for treatment, I need at least 30 million!"
"Nangong Yunyi, don't cheat people here. If it weren't for the sake of the Nangong Family's face, I would have already taken apart your stand!" a father viciously rebuked as he angrily turned toward Nangong Yunyi.
Nangong Yunyi faintly smiled. "You will soon know whether I am a swindler or not. Don't come and beg me at that time. I won't treat your son even if you beg me!"
That father furiously flicked his robe and forcefully dragged his son away.
In the midst of the crowd, the few people who already received Nangong Yunyi's prescription sneakily tucked it away during their father's inattention and obediently followed their father home.
The commotion here was huge and also traveled to the ears of the three great Families. At this time, inside the Nangong Family, Nangong Qing was sitting up high with a stunning and alluring woman sitting beside him. It went without saying that this woman was Nangong Lan's mother, Mu Qianqian.
Besides these people, there were a group of elders sitting beneath them, and Nangong Lan was present as well. They all looked at Nangong Yunyi like they were interrogating a criminal.
The main hall was oppressively furious and heavy.
"Yi'er, can you tell Father what on earth happened? Why did you treat the children of those Families?" Nangong Qing severely asked with a furrow of his brows.
This matter truly made him very disappointed in this son of his. No matter how much trouble he made, there should be a limit. Now that such a big scene was caused, if those Families were completely offended, and they aligned themselves with those two other aristocratic families, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the Nangong Family.
"Didn't you see what I was doing? It's merely treating illnesses, is it such a big deal?" Nangong Yunyi shrugged with a hoodlum smile on his lips.
"Family Head," Mu Qianqian swept her eyes across Nangong Yunyi with a sneer in her eyes, "Yi'er was being thoughtless. If we allow him to continue running amok, he might stir up more trouble for our Nangong Family. I request Family Head to expel him from the Family."
"That's right, Madam is right. Family Head, Eldest Young Master is too much of a troublemaker. If we don't expel him, he will definitely bring trouble to us in the future."
"Please make a ruling, Family Head!"
All the elders echoed in agreement. It was as though Nangong Yunyi was a time bomb to them, overly dangerous.
Nangong Qing's expression was not too pleased. He coldly glanced at Mu Qianqian before turning his eyes toward Nangong Yunyi again. "Yi'er, do you admit your mistake?"
Nangong Yunyi snorted. "I didn't do anything wrong, so why would I admit my mistake?"
"You..." Nangong Qing was livid. "If you admit your wrong now and guarantee you won't go treat them again, I will pardon your mistake this time."
"I said already, I wasn't wrong!" Nangong Yunyi's tone was incredibly stubborn. He didn't do anything wrong, so why should he admit that he was wrong?
"Guards, come here!" Nangong Qing's expression darkened. "Lock Eldest Young Master into his room and strictly watch over him! He's not allowed to take a single step outside of his room for half a month!"
He still showed leniency for Nangong Yunyi...
.
.
.
Chapter 1088:- Astonished! Shaken! (12)
After all, he only had one son, so how could he bear to expel him from the Family?
Mu Qianqian tightly clenched her fists and met Nangong Lan's eyes. Both saw the killing intent in the other's eyes. Nangong Yunyi had to go. He threatened their current status!
Many years ago, after Mu Qianqian gave birth to Nangong Lan, she accidentally damaged her body, causing her to be unable to get pregnant again. Hence, in order to allow Nangong Lan to ascend to the position of Family Head, she had no scruples about poisoning all of the concubines of the Nangong Family so that they could not get pregnant. Who could have expected that a Nangong Yunyi would appear out of nowhere later on?
After doing so many things, she could not resign herself to giving up halfway! As a result, Nangong Yunyi must die!
"Family Head..." The elders wanted to say something else, but Nangong Qing already stood up, interrupting their speech.
"This is Yi'er's first offense, so I was lenient in his punishment. These few days will allow him to fully repent behind closed doors so that he won't commit the same mistake again."
After saying this, Nangong Qing flicked his clothes and left the main hall with large strides.
"Mother..." Nangong Lan stood up, killing intent displayed on her pretty face.
Mu Qianqian hurriedly sent her a look with her eyes, hinting to her to remain patient.
After all, the current Nangong Yunyi had two spiritual beasts protecting him and was not that easy to deal with. They could only consider their plans at length!
...
Inside a courtyard, the rays of the sun came down at an angle, illuminating a young girl's gorgeous face.
She lazily laid on the chaise and listened to the report of the person beside her. Her eyebrows faintly went up and a smile appeared.
"Mistress." Ye Ling paused and asked, "Do we need to send someone to rescue Young Master Nangong?"
"No need." Yun Luofeng played with her hair strands and stated with a smile, "Tomorrow, the Nangong Family will release him on their own! As for Nangong, no one can hurt him right now, so I'm not worried. Retreat and carefully watch over the Wu Family."
"Yes, Mistress."
After saying this, Ye Ling cupped her fists and retreated.
The moment he left, two voices were heard from Yun Luofeng's spirit. After hearing these two voices, she hastily stood up from the chaise lounge and her smile grew.
"Master, did someone blindly provoke you again while I was gone?"
The voice was incredibly young, but it contained exceptional insolence.
"I think that anyone who provokes Master won't have a good ending."
The other voice was refined and elegant. From the voice alone, it was apparent that the woman must be poised and magnificent.
Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows. "You finally woke up?"
After her words were spoken, two lights appeared out of thin air and landed in front of Yun Luofeng.
One of the people was a young male-about 14 or 15 years old-whose handsome face donned an innocent smile. His lips were rosy, and his skin was so tender that it looked like water could be squeezed out of it.
The other person was a gorgeous woman who wore a long, gold dress and a crown on her head. She was not only poised and regal but also gentle and elegant. It was as though she was a haughty queen peering down at the world.
"Master, I've finally morphed into a human! I've missed you a lot."
The youth spread his arms out and charged toward Yun Luofeng. His two arms were hooked around Yun Luofeng and his eyes were beaming with a golden light.
In contrast, the woman had a faint smile and was gently watching Yun Luofeng, so noble that she could not be transgressed.
"Milk Tea, Queen Hamster." Looking at the two people in front of her, Yun Luofeng wickedly smiled. "Congratulations on successfully morphing into a human."
Ever since they consumed Little Tree's fruit, they had fallen into a deep sleep and did not awaken at all during this period of time. It was only after they successfully transformed into a human that they regained consciousness.
.
.
.
Chapter 1089:- Astonished! Shaken! (13)
Once spirit beasts could cultivate to the point of anthromorphosis, their battle skills would grow exponentially.
"All the credit goes to Master," Queen Hamster gently stated. "If it weren't for Master, we wouldn't be able to successfully transform into a human. You are the benefactor of our hamster tribe, and we won't ever forget that."
If Yun Luofeng did not appear, they could only continue to hide inside the Forest of No Return. How could they have their current lives? Spirit beasts were more genuine than humans. They would use their whole life to repay whoever treated them well!
"Mother." A gold-seeking hamster poked out of the underbrush on the side. She shook her head and walked toward Milk Tea and Queen Hamster.
Milk Tea was taken aback for a moment before recognizing the pink gold-seeking hamster in front of him. His eyes were full of joy. "Meng Meng, you can use human speech?"
Meng Meng abashedly nodded. "Master gave me a lot of medicinal herbs, so I used those herbs to break through to god level. However, there isn't the anthromophosis fruit, so I can't transform into a human for now."
Milk Tea's throat was somewhat dry. How could he not know that Yun Luofeng spent so much effort raising Meng Meng's strength for him?
"Little Tree doesn't have any more anthromophosis fruit for now, so I will help Meng Meng morph into a human after he produces the fruit."
Milk Tea had to wait until Meng Meng turned into a human before he could be together with her. Of course, the prerequisite was that Milk Tea had to successfully woo Meng Meng.
...
In a certain Family, a man who was handling his official matters heard a sharp scream. By the time he reacted and wanted to go investigate the matter, his daughter was already hastily stumbling through the door.
"Father, Father, my face..."
"What about your face?" The man was startled and looked up at his daughter's face. A single glance stupefied him.
"My precious, what happened to the scar on your face? Where did it go?"
Currently, his daughter's face was smooth and without any blemish. On top of that, her skin was even a lot better than previously.
"Father, in truth, I secretly used the prescription that Nangong Yunyi gave me. The result was that my scar disappeared in less than two hours," the girl emotionally explained.
Heaven knew how much disdain she had suffered due to the scar on her face during these past years. How could she not be emotional now that the scar had disappeared?
Her father was startled and dumbfounded as he looked at his daughter. "You are telling the truth? It was the prescription that Nangong Yunyi gave you that caused your scar to disappear?"
"Father, Nangong Yunyi's medicine was truly miraculous! That won't do, I must go find Xiao Xiu. Xiao Xiu went with me to the West District earlier, but she was dragged away by her father before being diagnosed by Nangong Yunyi. Perhaps Nangong Yunyi can cure her baldness."
After saying this, the girl hurriedly turned around and left, leaving behind a man foolishly standing.
At the same time, similar situations occurred inside various Families, and since all the children of those Families knew each other, the news rapidly traveled to the ears of those who did not receive a diagnosis. When they heard the news from their companions, they instantly became excited. Yet, as soon as they remembered that the diagnosis this time required double the original price, they could not help but start blaming their fathers in their hearts.
However, as long as they could be cured, regardless of how high the expense was, it was worth it to them.
As a result, those people did not wait until daybreak before stampeding to the outside of Yun Luofeng's estate. Their hopeful eyes closely stared at the path on the side. Unfortunately, from dawn to dusk, they were unable to see Nangong Yunyi.

Chapter 1090:- Astonished! Shaken! (14)
The gazes of the people went from their original anticipation to disappointment. Could it be that Nangong Yunyi was angered by yesterday's events and would not continue to come here to treat them as a result?
Just as the people's minds were filled with uncertainty, a guard walked out of the estate and expressionlessly said, "You don't have to wait for Young Master Nangong here anymore. The people from the Nangong Family claimed he was stirring up trouble, so they locked him up. It will be useless no matter how long you wait."
What?
Hearing this, everyone became anxious. If Nangong Yunyi was locked up, who could treat their illnesses? Suddenly, those people appeared to have recalled something and turned their sight to the guard.
"Don't look at me. My master won't easily treat people. If you want treatment, you are better off finding Young Master Nangong. After all, Young Master's pricing is reasonable. My master will charge you at least 50 million taels for each treatment with no room for bargaining!"
Everyone sighed in disappointment. It looked like they could only place their hopes on Nangong Yunyi now.
"Let's go. We will go home and find our father to plead on Young Master Nangong's behalf. Young Master Nangong's medical skill is so brilliant and hidden, but the Nangong Family actually locked him up."
"That's right, even though our Family's power can't compare to the Nangong Family's, the Nangong Family still has to release Nangong Yunyi on our behalf! No matter what, we can't allow Young Master Nangong to suffer this injustice."
Everyone made up their mind and hurried toward their home.
The parents of these children might not have believed in Nangong Yunyi in the beginning, but now that they saw so many people's illness improving, they were involuntarily shocked by this miracle. Hence, they allowed their children to find Nangong Yunyi to seek treatment as they wished this time.
However... their parents were out the whole day and rushed back around evening without any joy. They had a face full of anxiousness instead.
It was after inquiring about it that they learned Nangong Yunyi was locked up.
How could that do?
In an instant, the family heads of each Family hastily dashed toward Nangong Family. Their speed was so quick that it made people gasp in amazement.
...
Nangong Family.
All the Family elders were discussing matters with Nangong Qing inside the assembly hall. The content of their discussion was the prodigal Nangong Yunyi.
Suddenly, a hurried voice was traveled through the door and entered the assembly hall.
"Family Head, the family heads of the various Families are requesting an audience."
"Look." An elder sneered, his face full of contempt. "They must have gotten ill from the prescription that Eldest Young Master gave them and came to seek restitution from Eldest Young Master."
"Humph!" Nangong Qing snorted. "Let them come. It's not like I am scared of those people."
The elder mockingly chuckled. "These Families combined together aren't a match for the Nangong Family, but if they join forces with the Wu Family or the Ou Family, it will be a different story! After all, there are so many Families inside Endless City that everyone wants to recruit."
The balanced state between the three great Families could be broken because of this.
Nangong Qing was also deeply familiar with this point, and his face did not look too pleased. "We will speak about the concrete details of the matter after we see the head of each Family. If anything truly happened, we will give the compensation regardless of its amount!"
"Family Head, I truly don't understand you. Is it worth it for Eldest Young Master? Miss is so outstanding and can completely support the entire Nangong Family. Eldest Young Master is nothing but a prodigal, so why should you waste so much effort on him? In my view, directly giving him to those people will suffice."
Hearing the elder's voice, Nangong Qing tightly clenched his fists.

Chapter 1091:- Astonished! Shaken! (15)
He had always favored male over female, so how could he be willing to hand the Nangong Family to Nangong Lan? Nangong Lan would eventually marry, so wasn't giving it to her the same as giving it an outsider?
"I will make the decision myself. Speak no more of it." Nangong Qing swept his eyes over the elders and walked out of the assembly hall.
Inside the main hall, various family heads were anxiously pacing back and forth. When they saw Nangong Qing leading a group of people and quickly walking toward them, their eyes brightened and hurriedly went up to meet him.
"Family Head Nangong, we came here for Young Master. Is he here?"
Nangong Qing opened his mouth, about to speak, but was interrupted by the elders who closely followed him.
"Family Head, you should hand Eldest Young Master to them. Why should you waste wealth for Eldest Young Master? Everyone, the elders of the Nangong Family unanimously decided to expel Eldest Young Master out of the Family."
Nangong Qing's expression changed, and he looked back and malevolently asked, "Who gave you that right?"
"Family Head, we keep the Nangong Family in our considerations, so we naturally don't wish for the Nangong Family to suffer a financial loss." That elder snorted and turned to the family heads that filled the main hall. "Nangong Yunyi is no longer a member of our Nangong Family, and you can punish him as you please. We absolutely won't interfere!"
Nangong Qing's expression turned more displeased, and his knuckles cracked from how tight he clenched them.
All the family heads blankly looked at each other and scratched their head with a face full of confusion.
"Hand Young Master to us? What does that mean? How come I don't understand your words? Why do you want to expel Young Master from your Family?"
The elder was startled and asked, "Didn't you come here to seek restitution from him because something went wrong after consuming Eldest Young Master's prescriptions?"
"Seek restitution? Why would we want to seek restitution from Young Master?" One of the family heads glanced at the elder with misgivings and turned his line of sight toward Nangong Qing. "Family Head Nangong, the matter is like this, Young Master's prescriptions are simply too miraculous. My good friend's daughter originally had a scar on her face, but within two hours of consuming the prescribed medicine, her scar healed completely. My daughter intentionally went to the West District to wait a whole day today and didn't see Young Master come, so we especially hurried to the Nangong Family to request earnestly for Young Master to come out and treat illnesses."
Even Nangong Qing was struck dumb, let alone those elders who voiced their ridicule. Nangong Yunyi really knew how to treat people? How come I as his father never knew?
"That's right, we came here to request Young Master Nangong to treat illnesses and request sincerely for Family Head Nangong to allow Young Master to come out to diagnose for us."
"My son's body doesn't have any problems, but he often feels fatigue. Hence, after hearing of Young Master's abilities, we came here to seek treatment. As long as Young Master is willing to treat him, I'm willing to pay 50 million taels, let alone 30 million taels."
Nangong Qing was stupefied and dumbfoundedly looked at all of the emotional family heads. He had some hesitation in his tone as he asked, "You just said that Yi'er can cure you?"
"That's right, it was because your son cured many people that we came to find him for treatment. I request Family Head Nangong to invite your son out."
It was like lightning struck them, and the faces of all the Nangong Family elders abruptly froze. These people's words were like a fierce and resounding slap on their faces.
Nangong Lan who hurried over also heard their words, and the color drained from her pretty face. She involuntarily staggered back a few steps.
Nangong Yunyi really knew how to treat and save people? Since when did he possess this ability?
.

Chapter 1092:- Poaching (1)
Nangong Qing recovered from his shock and joy could be seen across his face. To him, this was undoubtedly a surprise! The son he always assumed to be worthless unexpectedly had such outstanding innate talent.
"Men, invite Eldest Young Master over."
Nangong Qing cleared his throat, then dryly coughed and in a rejuvenated manner, he said and had a lofty expression, "Everyone, please take a seat and enjoy the tea. Shortly, I'll let Yi'er treat your illnesses."
Ever since Nangong Yunyi returned to the Family, he had never once held his head high.
Nangong Lan looked at Nangong Qing who had a smile across his whole face and gnashed her teeth as she turned to leave.
The split second she turned, the killing intent in her eyes could no longer be concealed and gushed forth.
...
Not long after that, news of the numerous family heads going towards the Nangong Family to seek Nangong Yunyi for treatment had spread throughout the entire Endless City like a wildfire and caused a huge sensation.
After this news was known by the Ou Family, Ou Ya's complexion swiftly changed but she recovered her initial expression very soon.
"Miss," the servant maid beside was feeling indignant, "clearly you gathered these people but it has worked in Nangong Yunyi's favor! I feel indignant for you."
Ou Ya squinted her eyes and the corner of her lips curled, revealing an elegant smirk. "Unexpectedly Nangong Yunyi has medical skills?"
"Miss, you aren't..." The servant maid was startled and she prudently looked at Ou Ya.
Ou Ya quirked her brow and the smile on her face deepened.
"You're overthinking. Even if Nangong Yunyi is well versed in medical skills, I will not be interested in him. If I were to marry him, it would definitely cause my father to be ashamed."
Only now did the servant maid loosen up and giggled to parrot her words. "You're right. Even if Nangong Yunyi is well versed in medical skills, it can't change the fact that he's an illegitimate child. Miss, you're so outstanding and the person you marry will definitely a giant among men. How is Nangong Yunyi deserving of you?"
Ou Ya did not express her opinion. In her heart, the difference in status between her and Nangong Yunyi was too huge so how could he be worthy of her?
"If Nangong Yunyi wasn't an illegitimate child, perhaps I might consider him. Regrettably, his identity made him destined not to be fated with me." Ou Ya sighed as her voice was rather regretful.
Nangong Yunyi's mother had to be blamed for everything. If it weren't because she was unfaithful, how would Nangong Yunyi have such an ending? Otherwise, she wouldn't have had rejected him...
"Miss, the Lord is asking for you." Suddenly, a servant maid ran over in haste and informed while panting for breath.
Hearing the servant maid's words, Ou Ya controlled her expression and slowly got up.
"Why is Father looking for me?" Thinking of this, Ou Ya lightly frowned and spoke to the servant maid before her. "I understand."
After speaking, she went towards the study room.
Within the study room, a middle-aged man had his hands behind his back and turned around the moment he heard the door opening. His line of sight fell on the elegant lady who walked in unhurriedly while his tone gradually softened.
"Ya'er, you're here?'
Ou Ya faintly smiled and her manner of speaking was extremely deferential. "Father, for what matters are you looking for me?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "I reckon you've heard the news about Nangong Yunyi. Unexpectedly, this bastard child had hidden himself so deeply that perhaps we've made a mistake in our judgment. Oh right, the woman you mentioned who was in the limelight during Nangong Yunyi's birthday celebration, have you sent for men to look into her?"
Ou Ya narrowed her eyes and a cold light flashed across her eyes. "That woman claimed that she's Nangong Yunyi's senior and I'm still unclear about the specifics. If Father wishes to know about her identity, I can dispatch men to check."

Chapter 1093:- Poaching (2)
"I have a feeling that she isn't simple!" A chilly smile curled on his lips, "Of course, if she can be used by us, naturally we wouldn't treat her unfairly. If all else fails, we will kill her."
Ou Ya raised her eyes in shock. Even if she disliked Yun Luofeng, she had never thought of killing her but her father wanted to end her life?
"Ya'er," Looking at Ou Ya's shocked face, the tone of the middle-aged man softened. "Recently Endless City hasn't been very peaceful, particularly after a faction called the Physician Tower emerged. Even now, I have yet to understand the true strength behind this faction. Especially the Tower Master, she is totally untraceable and other than knowing she's a female, we are completely unaware of other information like her age."
"Therefore..." The middle-aged man paused for a moment and continued speaking, "I cannot let the influence of this Physician Tower continue to expand! Since you've said that this woman is extremely skilled in medical skills, then we can't let her be won over by the Physician Tower!"
Ou Ya was silent for a while before she raised her head and asked. "What if she already belongs to the Physician Tower?"
The middle-aged man smiled and showed off a confident look. "Then we will offer even more generous benefits to win her over! I don't believe the Physician Tower can snatch a person from our Ou Family! Oh right, I heard the strength of a few Elders in the Physician Tower is pretty good. Think of ways to bring them over."
"Without these elders overseeing the Physician Tower, it is merely an empty shell."
At this moment, the middle-aged man clearly didn't expect the person he wanted to poach was the Physician Tower's Tower Master herself and only after he was aware of everything did he realize the mistakes he committed!
"Yes, father." Ou Ya turned solemn and replied.
Once she thought of the fact that the person she had to rope in was someone she loathed, she felt unhappy deep down. However, for the Ou Family, she had to abandon her personal grudges and no matter how much she disliked Yun Luofeng, she had to rope her in with all her effort!
...
West District, within the courtyard.
Yun Luofeng lazily leaned against an expensive chair while her eyes were covered with two green leaves as she was calmly sunbathing.
Milk Tea compliantly massaged her leg and the smile on his face was full of flattery.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar aura arrived from the front, causing Yun Luofeng to remove the green leaves covering her eyes. A lazy smile curled up on her face as she smiled at Ou Ya who was walking over.
At this moment, an elderly man was following alongside Ou Ya and his eyes were filled with contempt as he was sizing up the courtyard of Yun Luofeng's house.
He even lifted up his legs as he walked, afraid that he would dirty his shoes.
"You're here to express your thanks?" Yun Luofeng languidly stretched, "However, you're thanking the wrong person. If you wish to express your thanks, you should find Nangong Yunyi. After all, he helped you cure all those patients."
Ou Ya's expression sunk. Everything she had done with difficulty had been taken advantage of by Nangong Yunyi and this made her feel unresigned in her heart. However, no matter how furious she was, she restrained her anger.
"Miss Yun, I have something to discuss with you with my visit today," A smile appeared on her face, "I admire your abilities and may I know if you would be willing to become an elder of our Ou Family?"
Yun Luofeng lifted her brows. In regards to Ou Ya's background, she was already in the know. After Nangong Yunyi revealed his abilities, it would definitely cause numerous gazes to linger on her.
.

Chapter 1094:- Poaching (3)
As such, she had also been sufficiently prepared.
"You're thinking of roping me in?" She smiled, and the smile of hers was extremely elegant.
Ou Ya had to admit, this woman was indeed very gorgeous, to the extent of shaking one to the core and even Nangong Lan did not surpass her.
"Miss Yun, I truly admire your abilities and a genius like you residing here is simply less than you deserve." Ou Ya's words were sincere as she looked at Yun Luofeng without blinking.
Yun Luofeng's smile was bewitching and languid while her eyes were abstruse and gloomy, seemingly bottomless.
"Unfortunately, your Ou Family doesn't have the right to rope me in." Her words implied that even if the Ou Family admired her talent, she despised them.
"Milk Tea, send off the guests!"
"Yes, Master."
Milk Tea stood upright and his line of sight turned towards Ou Ya as the expression on his petite face revealed impatience. "My Family's lord has already asked you to leave. Could it be that you didn't hear her? Hurry and scram!"
Ou Ya's expression changed. She originally thought Yun Luofeng would definitely be moved with her personally visiting, but who knew these people would be so impolite?
"Hmph!"
The elderly man standing beside her snorted as he coldly looked at Yun Luofeng. "My family's young miss has personally visited you because she thinks highly of you and you shouldn't fail to appreciate her kindness. What benefits has that Physician Tower offered you? The Ou Family can give it to you in double. As long as you work for the Ou Family, there will not be any lack of benefits for you."
Ou Ya continued to speak after the elderly man. "Miss Yun, many physicians have come to this Endless City in order to join the Physician Tower. Therefore, I guess that you're rejecting me because you've entered the Tower. However, it doesn't matter, as the Ou Family can wait for you. As per what Elder Ou Lin mentioned, as long as you join us, we will double what the Physician Tower offered you!"
Yun Luofeng was startled and astonishment flashed through her wicked eyes.
Other people in the house also gazed at Ou Ya with shock in succession.
Was this woman foolish?
The Physician Tower was established by their lord yet she actually said they would give her double the benefits?
Of course, in Ou Ya's eyes, these people's expression was interpreted as being shocked because of the double benefits.
"Miss Yun, even if you don't consider this for yourself, you should consider for your subordinates. If you join the Ou Family, regardless of medicinal ingredients or medical books, you can have them as you wish. Or if you have other requests, you can bring it up."
Yun Luofeng lazily leaned back and a wicked smirk curled up on her lips. She narrowed her eyes while looking at Ou Ya seemingly smiling yet not smiling. "What if I want the entire Ou Family?"
At this very moment, Ou Ya's expression had thoroughly sunk. Both her hands were tightly clenched as she had an unsightly expression.
"Miss Yun, aren't you demanding an exorbitant price? Other than the Ou Family, you can raise any other request as you wish."
Yun Luofeng quirked her brow and her wicked eyes swept towards Ou Ya. "Apologies, other than the entire Ou Family, I don't need anything else."
If it weren't for Ou Ya having tolerance surpassing the norm, she would have become furious with Yun Luofeng. She truly didn't know where did Yun Luofeng's sense of superiority came from to disregard the Ou Family.
"Girl, you better not win an inch and want a foot!"
Ou Ya's expression sank as her eyes faintly revealed fury. "Our Ou Family is extremely influential and even ten Physician Towers cannot compare! Yet you actually don't place the Ou Family in your eyes? Don't tell me what the Ou Family can offer you is lacking compared to the newly established Physician Tower?'
"Milk Tea!"
Yun Luofeng lifted her brows. "These two people are disturbing my meditation by being present. If they are unwilling to leave, throw them out!"
.

Chapter 1095:- Poaching (4)
"I understand," After Milk Tea replied, he turned toward those people before him. "Hey, why aren't you leaving? I've never seen people so shameless like you in my entire life. My lord has asked you to leave several times but you're still here."
Ou Ya furrowed her brows and spoke impatiently, "You're merely a child, yet you dare to be so disrespectful towards me? Get lost since there's no place for you to interrupt when adults are talking."
In Ou Ya's eyes, since Milk Tea was so respectful to Yun Luofeng she thought that he must be her plaything. She felt defiled just from talking to him.
Rage and fury emerged in Milk Tea's eyes and a gale abruptly rose. His thin body was standing at the center of the gale and seemed to be getting thinner.
"Scram!"
Suddenly, Milk Tea opened his mouth and gave a loud shout. In that instant, Ou Lin's expression suddenly paled, as if receiving a strong blow on his chest and his footsteps retreated.
In any case, Ou Lin was a god-level low-ranked cultivator and so he did not suffer any injuries, but Ou Ya was not as fortunate. She directly flew up and was flung out, crashing among the crowd outside with a bang.
There were many people in Endless City who recognized Ou Ya. Currently, after witnessing Ou Ya flying out from the courtyard, they unconsciously stood beside her and pointed while softly whispering.
"Isn't this the young miss of the Ou Family? Why is she here?"
"I heard that Nangong Yunyi recently lost interest in the Ou Family's miss and changed to like the master of this house! Could it be that the Ou Family's miss is here to get even with her?"
"I doubt it. I heard that the Ou Family's miss has always disdained Nangong Yunyi."
"You wouldn't understand. It's her affair if she doesn't like Nangong Yunyi but that doesn't mean she would be willing for the man chasing her to have a change of affection!"
Hearing these discussions, Ou Ya nearly spat out blood due to rage. Yet against all expectations, Milk Tea came out at this moment and spat at her.
"Pui. It was you who didn't want Nangong Yunyi at the start and right now, because the Nangong Family's young master is getting close to my master, you're here to force them to end their relationship?" Milk Tea spoke emotionally, as if this was true. "Everyone, this young lady of the Ou Family is extremely ruthless. She came to find my master and declared that if my master didn't cut off her relationship with Young Master Nangong, she would kill my master. Please be the judge between right and wrong! This young lady of the Ou Family is extremely shameless!"
Ou Ya furiously shouted. "Don't spout nonsense. When have I ever come here because of Nangong Yunyi?!"
Milk Tea chuckled. "Then why are you here to look for my master?" Having heard what was said, Ou Ya was suddenly unable to speak.
Could it be that she had to say she came here to try to recruit Yun Luofeng and had failed, so she was thrown out?
If this matter were to be spread, the Ou Family would definitely be reduced to a laughing stock! Thinking of this, Ou Ya clenched her teeth without speaking.
Yet at this moment, she spotted Nangong Yunyi among the crowd and felt joy as she hurriedly asked, "Young Master Nangong, please stand out and explain for me. This matter isn't as what they are saying!"
In that instant, everyone's gaze gathered on Nangong Yunyi.
Nangong Yunyi was confused, not understanding what had happened. He scratched the back of his head. "I came here to look for Yun Luofeng and what are you all doing here? Oh right, Ou Ya, why are you on the ground? Could it be that... you came looking for trouble with Yun Luofeng but got beaten up?"
.
.

Chapter 1096:- Making Authority Known (1)
Ou Ya's expression sank in a flash. "Nangong Yunyi, I came here looking for Miss Yun is to discuss something with her. Moreover, I accidentally slipped and fell earlier on, and it's not related to you. It's also impossible I would come looking for trouble with Miss Yun because of you."
Nangong Yunyi was completely at a loss, clearly not understanding the meaning behind her words.
Milk Tea glared warningly at Nangong Yunyi. "What kind of taste do you have, to fancy such a woman!"
"This..." Nangong Yunyi scratched his head and awkwardly laughed, "She looked similar to my previous girlfriend and I momentarily wasn't able to restrain myself, so I had bothered her. Currently, I've cleared my head and I understand they're not the same person."
Oy Ya's expression became increasingly unsightly and her tightly clenched fist produced sounds of cracking.
Nangong Yunyi chased her because she reminded him of another woman?
How could Ou Ya, whose heart was loftier than the sky, be able to tolerate this?
"Nangong Yunyi, I hope you won't regret your words today!" Ou Ya got up from the ground and fiercely flung her sleeves, "Elder Ou Lin, let's go."
Ou Lin coldly swept a glance of superiority and disdain at Nangong Yunyi and Milk Tea before he snorted and left. Since these people were unwilling to join the Ou Family, then they would prevent them from climbing up socially!
Even though Ou Ya had already left, her actions in West District had spread around and soon after, the entire Endless City knew about her actions of finding trouble with another woman because of Nangong Yunyi.
For a moment, the residents of Endless City were secretly criticizing her from head to feet, also causing her reputation to suffer a disastrous decline.
At the same time, people from various families were not resigned to playing second and did their utmost to rope in the Elders of the Physician Tower.
After learning of their actions, Yun Luofeng spoke up. Anyone who came to give gifts could leave them, and as to whether the elders were willing to meet with them, it would be their problem. Hearing her words, these people left beaming with smiles. For them, as long as the elders accepted their gifts, they would have hope.
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Some factions were about to go bankrupt from sending gifts, yet they had yet to even meet with the elders, so how were to supposed to rope them in?
In comparison, all the elder's hands were about to go numb from accepting gifts. They looked at the number of gifts piled up in their workroom before gazing at Yun Luofeng with an aggrieved expression.
"Tower Master, those people coming with gifts are about to damage the gates with the frequency they're coming. In addition, it doesn't seem good for us to accept the gifts?"
Yun Luofeng sized up the room stacked with gifts. Her fingers lightly caressed her chin as she smiled. "When they came, have they ever mentioned wanting to meet you? Since they've never raised any request, why wouldn't I accept their gifts?"
The elders looked at each other in dismay.
Even if these people hadn't said anything, their motives were clear. If it weren't to meet the various elders, why would they bother to send gifts? Yet, it was because they did not say anything that allowed Yun Luofeng to take advantage of them!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel pity for those families who bumped against the muzzle of the gun.
It would be good if they tried to hit on other factions but unfortunately, they chose to try to rope in people from Yun Luofeng's faction. Weren't they waiting to be taking advantage of?
"Feel free to accept all the gifts they bring without being courteous. If you feel that you're unable to accept these gifts, you can give them to your subordinates!" Yun Luofeng smirked, "I believe those people below you will work harder after receiving these gifts.
.

Chapter 1097:- Making Authority Known (2)
Qing Mu's mouth twitched. The plan of using the gifts given to them to build relationships was a good move by Yun Luofeng. If those people were to know of this, their intestines would certainly turn green.
"Qing Mu, Ge Yang," Yun Luofeng looked at the two elders standing before her as she quirked her brows and spoke. "Now that the Physician Tower's strength is expanding, it's time to unify Endless City."
Unify Endless City?
All the elders shocked gazes fell on Yun Luofeng in succession.
Was her objective to unify the entire Endless City?
Qing Mu was somewhat hesitant. "Tower Master, the strongest expert of the three largest families has broken through to sage-level cultivation. I doubt it'll be easy to unify Endless City."
"There's nothing impossible in this world! So what if it's filled with difficulties? The words that I, Yun Luofeng speak, will definitely be achieved!"
At this moment, the young lady stuck out her chest and stood upright, while her fine black hair flowed along with the wind, seemingly so gorgeous she could overturn a state.
Her words were determined and confident as she domineeringly announced to everyone, causing them to be unconsciously moved.
"Qing Mu, send an invitation to the three great influential families and invite them to the Physician Tower."
"Tower Master, what are you planning?" Qing Mu was startled for a moment and asked while he failed to understand her actions.
Yun Luofeng's smile was wicked and chilly. "You'll know when the time comes."
...
"Seems like the Physician Tower is about to make a huge move."
In the Nangong Clan, Nangong Qing who received the invitation crushed the card while he was in deep thought. "Merely, what motive does the Physician Tower have by inviting the Nangong Clan over? To display their might?"
"Family Head, it is said that the Tower Master is mysterious and unpredictable. Perhaps this would be an opportunity for us to obtain her information."
"This time, there is no lack of families heading towards the Physician Tower to rope in people and I reckon it must have angered the Physician Tower, resulting in this invitation."
A lively conversation went on as various elders joined in and started discussing excitedly.
Nangong Qing's expression did not change and his furrowed brows clearly contained a hint of worry, that only loosened after a long time. "Inform the young master and miss for them to follow me at that time."
"Yes, Family Head." The bodyguards beside promptly replied and respectfully cupped their fists before retreating.
Nangong Qing placed the invitation on the table while his eyes contained an unknown glint.
"I wish to know the expressions of Ou Family and Wu family after they receive the invitation."
...
Currently, within the Ou Family, the middle-aged man fiercely threw the invitation on the table while his face was ashen as he furiously spoke. "What is the meaning of this? Not paying respects to the Ou Family after arriving in Endless City and now they have even sent out such an invitation. Especially the content of this invitation, it's simply going too far!"
Ou Ya did not speak but bent down to pick the invitation. A few words written in gold were on the invitation card.
"In the afternoon, the Physician Tower invites everyone to visit. If one does not proceed towards the Tower, there will be men from the Physician Tower personally coming to invite you. If one were to be determined in not coming, we have no choice but to use force!"
What did they mean by using force?
This was clearly a threat!
"Father," A trace of a chill look flashed through Ou Ya's eyes and she laughed soundlessly. "I feel that this Physician Tower is quite interesting. Why don't we make this trip? I'd like to see who is the Tower Master of this Physician Tower."
The middle-aged man sneered. "The person who can threaten our Ou Family doesn't exist! It's just a Physician Tower yet they dare to be so rampant! They're truly going too far and I will never let this pass!"
After he arrived at the Physician tower, he would release his temperament and let these people know that regardless who they provoked, they never should have provoked the Ou Family!
.

Chapter 1098:- Making Authority Known (3)
At the same time, a storm of disturbance surfaced in the Wu Family.
Within the luxurious and exquisite hall, Wu Family's head sat upright with a grave and stern expression. His gaze overlooked the people surrounding him as he solemnly spoke. "In regards to the Physician Tower's actions, what does everyone think of it?"
The Physician Tower's actions had evidently affected the situation in Endless City.
Perhaps with their arrival, it would break the situation of a stalemate between three factions and this was not what they wished to see.
"Family Head, I feel that we should accept the Physician Tower's invitation and see what the Tower Master has planned in passing." The elder of the Wu family revealed a gloomy expression as he eerily laughed, "In addition, we can investigate the Physician Tower's strength using this opportunity!"
Knowing their own strength and the enemy was crucial to emerging victorious in every battle!
Wu Family Head slapped the table and stood up. "Alright, all you shall start preparing. Shortly after, I will head forth to the Physician Tower!"
...
West District.
Compared to the other few districts, the West District was considered a run-down location. Not to mention the bigwigs of the three great families, even people from other factions were unwilling to take a step here.
However, the West District was exceptional lively today. Not only were there countless experts seeking treatment, even people from the three big families came while riding in their carriages. In particular, the three Family Heads were present.
Therefore, the entire West District was in shock. Numerous commoners stood out and curiously watched at those luxurious carriages traveling on the road.
Unfortunately, these bigwigs were accustomed to being domineering and after witnessing these commoners surrounding them and watching, they were instantly furious.
A bodyguard suddenly stood out and pointed towards a young girl standing in the middle of the road while sternly shouting. "Don't you see the Ou Family people here? Yet you still dare to stand in the middle of the road? Hurry and scram!"
This young girl was only around three to four years old and had held a candied fruit in her hands. Hearing the bodyguard's furious shout, her bright red face was filled with confusion. Evidently, she did not understand what the bodyguard said.
The guard coldly snorted, "I've already reminded you, but you're clearly seeking death!"
As such, the driver of the carriage did not stop because of the child blocking in front but instead, increased his speed and rushed over.
Blinking her eyes, the child's bright and rounded eyes curiously looked at the carriage rushing over.
Perhaps because... she had never seen such a luxurious carriage in her lifetime!
"Careful!"
When the crowd saw that the carriage was about to run over the child, they screamed in shock. The child's parents were peddling candied fruits at one side and after hearing everyone's scream, they looked over subconsciously...
And witnessed a scene that caused their heartbeat to race!
They wanted to rush over and save their daughter but it was too late and they could only look on helplessly at the carriage running over her...
Bang!
Seeing that the carriage was about to run over her, a sharp sword chopped down from the skies and struck the carriage. With a sword strike, the cabin had been sliced into two sections.
"Who dares to mount a sneak attack on our Ou Family!"
Within the carriage, a middle-aged man dressed in embroidered clothing walked out. His figure seemed rather embarrassing but he did not lose his imposing manner. His expression that was as sharp as a knife shot unwavering towards the man and woman walking over from behind the child.
The man was handsome and indifferent while his eyes emitted a biting cold chilly aura. He held onto a long sword and he looked at the middle-aged man.

The woman standing beside him looked delicate and pretty, while her eyes that seemed to be able to speak contained a bright radiance. She took a glance at the middle-aged man before turning to the child that was shocked and frozen in place.
"Are you alright?" She gently picked the child up from the ground. Her voice was melodious like a bell, yet it had miraculously calmed the frightened heart of the child.
"Yuan'er!"
The child's parents hastily ran over with a pale complexion. Clearly, they had yet to recover from the shock. Knowing that their child was safe and sound, they turned towards the green-robed lady and knelt down gratefully.
"Thank you for saving our daughter."
The lady faintly smiled. "Apologies. It's because of the Physician's Tower that we had brought you trouble. If we had not invited these people, your daughter wouldn't have met with danger. Therefore, saving you is something we should do."
After speaking, she slowly turned and walked to the handsome man's side while her clear and crisp voice gradually contained an imposing tone.
"My Miss has commanded, anyone who enters the West District must travel on foot!"
The expression of the Ou Family's Head changed and an unrelenting emotion flashed through his eyes. "What intentions does the Physician Tower have to make us travel on foot to enter the West District?"
"You've all witnessed this scene. Because you barged through the roads, you nearly harmed an innocent child! Therefore, if you continue traveling in a carriage, you will not be allowed in the West District. We have to be responsible for the common people's safety!"
Making their authority known?
Ou Family Head narrowed his eyes and killing intent flickered within. This Physician Tower was trying to show their strength the moment they arrived!
"Presumptuous!" Seeing Qingyan speaking rudely, the Ou Family bodyguard immediately furiously shouted, "You're only a dog of the Physician Tower and what right do you have to speak to our Family Head like that? Furthermore, the lives of these lowly commoners are not worth speaking of, so what if they die? At the very most it's just a matter of compensating a few gold coins."
A gush of fury surged forth in Qingyan and she snorted while speaking expressionlessly. "The commands of my Miss must be carried out! If you dare to advance, I will never let you take another step forward."
Hua!
Just as Qingyan spoke, countless gold-seeking hamsters emerged in the streets from all directions while chirping. Countless pairs of eyes stared in warning at the people from the various families.
"Milk Tea, Queen Hamster, if anyone dares to step forward while riding on the carriage, kill them!"
Everyone was startled as they saw two people walking forward from the rear of the gold-seeking hamster crowd.
Between the two of them, one was a youth that has yet to shed off his childhood innocence. His figure was tall and slender, with cherry red lips and white teeth, making others to be reluctant to part with him upon meeting.
The other one was like a graceful and poised imperial consort and perhaps even an Empire's Queen was incomparable to her as she was honorable and proud, a motherly model of the nation.
"No, their auras are somewhat strange," the Ou Family Head was the first to recover his senses and his expression was unsightly. "They're spirit beasts!"
Milk Tea and Queen Hamster were not like Huohuo, who could control her own aura at all times such that even an expert could not sense her true identity.
However, it had not been long since both of them transformed into a human, so they had yet to learn how to prevent their aura from leaking out. Thus, it was easy for experts to make out their identities.
"Spirit beasts? How could this be? Both of them are spirit beasts?"
"In addition, these are all these gold-seeking hamsters. Oh my, each and every one of their strengths is above sky-level cultivation. Are they still gold-seeking hamsters?"

Chapter 1100:- Making Authority Known (5)
As everyone knew, gold-seeking hamsters would not have a huge achievement in their entire life but what they witnessed today had toppled their understanding.
The Nangong Family was the first to step down from the carriage as they slowly went towards Ye Ling and Qingyan. Yet, at this moment, no one noticed that Nangong Yunyi was completely stupefied after seeing Qingyan and the rest.
Others might not recognize Qingyan and the rest but it was impossible for him who often went to find Yun Luofeng to have never met them before!
Nangong Yunyi fiercely slapped his head and the expression he used to look at Qingyan and the rest was filled with astonishment.
He was unable to understand why they were currently present.
Could it be... Yun Luofeng is related to the Physician Tower?
"Miss, please lead the way," A smile curled up on Nangong Qing's face.
Although he was unsatisfied with the Physician Tower's way of doing things, it would undoubtedly be an unwise choice to reject them at this moment and importance had to be attached to the overall situation!
"In addition..." Qingyan smiled and continued. "My Miss has ordered, other than the few Family Heads, young master and miss, others have to wait outside!"
The expression of the Ou Family's Head had thoroughly changed. "Don't go too far!"
Qingyan shot him a glance and smiled seemingly not smiling. "Why? Could it be that the Ou Family Head thinks that the Physician Tower would harm you? Besides, if we truly wanted to harm you, how can these bodyguards of yours resist us? It's only because our Physician Tower is lacking in space so we are unable to accommodate so many inside. Thus, we can only let them wait outside."
"Father."
Seeing that the Ou Family Head was about to explode, Ou Ya hastily tugged on his sleeves and softly whispered. "There's no use even if we bring along these guards and we might as well leave them here. Furthermore, I've sure that the Physician Tower would never harm us!"
The Ou Family Head snorted as a cold glint flickered in his narrowed eyes.
"Your Physician Tower will regret your decisions of today! Let's go!" He then fiercely swung his sleeves and walked into the West District.
"Father, Mother," After the Ou family and the rest left, the child's dazed face finally had a reaction. Her juvenile voice slowly sounded in the quiet streets, "People from the Physician Tower are so mighty. I want to join the Physician Tower when I grow up."
In this child's heart, a seed had been planted and in the subsequent decades, she would strive hard towards this goal. It was also because of today's unexpected situation that changed her future.
...
In the Physician Tower, it was extremely silent, being somewhat strange.
Everyone was buried in their work to the extent that no one went to welcome people from the three great families.
Alas, their patience wore out and spoke up. "It has been about 16 hours since we're here. When will the Tower Master arrive?"
"Continue waiting."
The young man answered without lifting his head. "Do you think our Tower Master is as idle as you? After the Tower Master finishes the work she has, she will meet with you."
The Ou Family's head expression sank once again, but it would do no good if he exploded, so he could only tightly grip on the chair to vent his internal anger.
Time slowly elapsed and the patience of the Ou Family's Head had been depleted. With a bang, his palms heavily slammed on the table as he furiously shouted in a cold voice.
"Let your Tower Master come out and meet me immediately!"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him as they were all buried in work, to the extent of not even sparing him a glance.
Wu Family's head and Nangong Qing's expression were also unsightly. At the very least, they were the Family Head of the three great influential families, and this Physician Tower actually displayed such huge airs to have them wait here?
