Elder Yu and Wen Jiaquan exchanged puzzled glances, asking, “Wait. Does this an Xi Yue isn’t accepting the invitation?”
i Shuhai’s face twisted with anger as he scoffed, “Accept the invitation? Hmph! He rely showed rcy by not beating to death! In all my years, I’ve never been humiliated like this!”
Elder Yu quickly asked what had happened.
i Shuhai imdiately embellished what had happened today, ending with a clenched jaw and seething words, “Mark my words—there’s no room in Heavenly dical Valley for both of us. If he’s in, I’m out!”
As he spoke, i Shuhai suddenly raised his volu, his face flushed red with anger. It was obvious just how furious he was.
Elder Yu had a troubled look on his face.
Despite i Shuhai’s arrogant temper, his dical skills and teaching abilities were undeniable; he was, without a doubt, the backbone of the outer sect. There was no way they could let him leave over soone as unpredictable as Xi Yue.
Elder Yu cleared his throat and spoke gently, “No need to be upset, Dr. i. Weren’t we simply asking you to assess Xi Yue’s character? Since you find him unsuitable, perhaps we should reconsider inviting him as a ntor…”
Before Elder Yu could finish, Wen Jiaquan suddenly interrupted, saying, “Perfect timing with Dr. i here. I have sothing I’ve been aning to tell you all.”
Just before i Shuhai had walked in, Wen Jiaquan had been about to discuss sothing with Elder Yu, only to be interrupted by i Shuhai’s sudden arrival.
Narrowing his eyes, i Shuhai snarled, “What do you want to say? If you’re here to plead for Xi Yue, I’d suggest you save your breath.”
He wasn’t just determined to stop Xi Yue from becoming a ntor at Heavenly dical Valley. He aid to ensure her dical clinic couldn’t survive in Qingyun Realm.
He would pay back the humiliation he received today a thousand tis.
Ignoring i Shuhai’s words, Wen Jiaquan turned calmly to Elder Yu and said, “I received an invitation from the Bai Family today. They’re inviting both Dr. i and to attend the celebration for Young Master Bai’s first month. I’ve also heard that an invitation has been sent to Xi Yue’s Suru Clinic, so it seems she’ll be invited as well.”
As he spoke, he drew two gilded invitations from his robe and placed them on the table.
At the sight of them, Elder Yu imdiately stood up, alard. “What’s the Bai Family’s intention here? Are they planning to settle scores?”
i Shuhai’s face turned pale, and he shouted frantically, “It’s one thing for them to invite you to the celebration, but why drag into it too? I’m not going—if you want to go, go on your own!”
Wen Jiaquan gave a cold smile and replied calmly, “I’d already planned to go to the Bai Family and apologize. No need for your reminder, Dr. i. As for why they invited you as well, I think you know better than anyone.”
“What do I know?! Don’t spout nonsense and accuse without reason!” i Shuhai nearly shouted, practically jumping up in protest, looking every bit like soone caught red-handed.
Even Elder Yu glanced at him with suspicion. eting Elder Yu’s gaze, i Shuhai barely managed to suppress his fear, forcing a smile as he said, “What I an is, since Dr. Wen is one of us at Heavenly dical Valley, we can’t let him face the Bai family’s reproach alone.”
“Besides, if word of this gets out, it’ll damage Heavenly dical Valley’s reputation. When it reaches the inner sect, it won’t do any of us any good.”
Elder Yu gave i Shuhai a aningful look, thinking to himself that this was the sa man who usually relished seeing other doctors embarrassed. For him to say sothing so reasonable today, there was no way it wasn’t suspicious.
