"What did you say?"
Ye Yunfeng and Qin Feng's expressions tightened simultaneously, their gazes zeroing in on Huang Zhendong.
Huang Zhendong swallowed. "Xu Ke is the Divine Doctor who saved Qin Ya and Hua Xingxue."
At these words, Ye Yunfeng grew tense. "Why would you say that?"
Huang Zhendong took a deep breath. "Actually, before Chang Yi died, he sent a ssage."
"What ssage?"
"He said that Xu Ke is the dical Saint's pupil!"
Upon hearing this, both n were stunned, their gazes frozen. "Are you... serious?"
"Yes. That's why I said he's that elusive Divine Doctor."
Huang Zhendong nodded solemnly. "I didn't believe it at first either. To be honest, even just now in the eting room when you were questioning Hua Xingxue, I wondered if Xu Ke might be that Divine Doctor. But I imdiately discarded the thought. I felt a person couldn't be—or at least, shouldn't be—so outstanding at such a young age."
Ye Yunfeng and Qin Feng nodded in agreent.
Learning this information turned their faces ashen. The shock was simply too great.
Not only was Xu Ke formidable on the Martial Path, but he was also the dical Saint's pupil and a Divine Doctor? They couldn't accept it.
But Huang Zhendong forced them to. "On second thought, I realized I was wrong. I'd fallen into a ntal trap. If Xu Ke weren't exceptionally talented—so talented he seems almost demonic—how could he have possibly caught the eye of the dical Saint?"
Holding a teacup, his face dark, Qin Feng asked, "Where's the proof? You can't just believe it because of one ssage. What if Xu Ke had Chang Yi's phone the whole ti before he died? What if he deliberately sent false information to mislead you?"
If the news were true, it was a bolt from the blue.
Opposing the dical Saint... how would that be any different from opposing Martial Saint Yan Xuehai?
"That's not possible."
Huang Zhendong inhaled deeply. "I also considered that the ssage might be fake. But just now, when you ntioned your sister was saved and the surveillance footage was gone... I suddenly understood.
"I know about that car accident. To clear your own na, you didn't send any of your people to the scene. That ans you, I, and even Brother Ye have no idea how badly the car actually hit Qin Ya and her son.
"But think about it. Why would Qin Ya suddenly vote for Hua Xingxue and help the Wang Family? Why did the Ouyang Family speak up for Xu Ke at the press conference? Could the relationship between Qin Ya, her husband, and the Wang Family really be that good?
"Also, why did Hua Xingxue recover not a mont sooner or later, but right after Xu Ke appeared?
"And why did Ki Qinyin help Xu Ke for no apparent reason? Isn't there sothing suspicious about all this?
"Furthermore, rember when we sent Han Wang and the others to intercept Xu Ke on the Haisui Expressway? It failed. Elder Shi later told that their critical mistake was not anticipating the Ghost Poison Elders. They, who had already been severely injured by Han Wang, showed up on the expressway. So let ask you: who healed the Ghost Poison Elders so quickly and arranged for them to hide in Xu Ke's car at just the right mont?
"And think about this: where did Xu Ke get that secret technique that lets him unleash a burst of power when he's on the brink of death? Without a powerful background or a master, could he possess such a cultivation technique?
"Moreover, even now, we can't figure out how many Innate Maestros are backing him. Take our failed ambush at Longcha. That man in black who suddenly appeared, an Innate Great Perfection... Can you find out who he is? You can't find a single trace of him!
"The power behind him is far more mysterious than we could ever imagine."
Huang Zhendong's relentless questions left Qin Feng and Ye Yunfeng's faces completely ashen.
The implications of all this were now crystal clear.
"However, if we assu that Xu Ke is the dical Saint's pupil and possesses unparalleled dical skills, then all of these puzzles are solved instantly.
"I was even wondering just now if the Divine Doctor who saved Qin Ya and Hua Xingxue could have been the dical Saint himself. Perhaps he made a special trip to Tianhai to treat Hua Xingxue for the sake of his pupil, Xu Ke... It's laughable when you think about it. If he only intervened once, I might have found it plausible. But if you count all the instances, it has happened more than once...
"So, the truth is obvious.
"Gentlen, what do you think?"
Silence. A dead silence.
The entire room seed to have been sucked clean of air, utterly still.
Qin Feng and Ye Yunfeng were expressionless, their gazes narrowed to a single point. In that mont, they were terrified.
After a long pause, Ye Yunfeng finally spoke. "I knew he opened a clinic at Global Square," he said slowly. "I had considered he might have dical skills, but I assud it was just a minor side project. I never imagined the truth behind it was this severe..."
"If that's the case, does the dical Saint intend to use Tianhai as a base to announce his return?" Qin Feng murmured, his face somber.
He had been planning to inherit the Qin family business, play the ga of alliances among the six great families of Tianhai, and thodically plot his way to prominence. But this news felt like being struck over the head a dozen tis and slapped across the face for good asure. He was completely stunned... How in the hell was he supposed to fight the dical Saint?
"I don't know." Huang Zhendong shook his head. "The information I have only allows to guess at Xu Ke's identity. I don't know the dical Saint's intentions."
"So what do we do now?" Qin Feng panicked. "Should we... should we try to repair our relationship with Xu Ke?"
He was already wary of Wong Ting; if the dical Saint truly showed up, he'd be the first to surrender.
Hearing this, an intrigued look flickered across Huang Zhendong's face.
He wasn't planning to betray Wong Ting, just considering the benefits of being a fence-sitter.
But just then...
"In that case..." Ye Yunfeng sneered. "We imdiately report this to the Martial Saint and Wong Ting. Tell them to send their most elite experts here within two days."
"What?" Huang Zhendong and Qin Feng were both stunned. "What are you planning to do?"
"I'm going to kill Xu Ke," Ye Yunfeng said slowly.
As he spoke, the other two stared, their eyes wide with shock. "Are you insane?"
"You're the ones who are insane." Ye Yunfeng's eyes flashed with resolve and ruthlessness, even a hint of madness. "Can't you see the situation clearly?"
"You know he's the dical Saint's pupil, and you still want to kill him? Do you have a death wish?" Huang Zhendong demanded urgently.
"You're the one with a death wish!" Ye Yunfeng retorted sharply. "If we don't kill Xu Ke now, do you really think he'll spare us later? If we don't seize this chance to kill him by force, we won't be able to stop him once the dical Saint arrives. Unless the Martial Saint himself intervenes, none of us will stand a chance."
