Three days swiftly passed.
Since arriving in Gusu City, Ye Ling had enjoyed three rare days of peace.
Following the Shen Gang incident, the ranks of the dicine God Sect had completely changed, and several Family Heads were wary, daring not to provoke Ye Ling any further.
In these three days, Ye Ling took Su Rou around Gusu City for sightseeing, accompanied by Family Head Hu.
A bright smile constantly graced Su Rou's face, clearly showing that she was very happy during these three days.
On this day, Family Head Zhao celebrated his eightieth birthday, inviting all the dignitaries of Gusu City.
The gates of the Zhao family estate were wide open, awaiting the arrival of all guests.
Under Ye Ling's instruction, Family Head Hu had spent these three days thoroughly investigating the Zhao family, leaving no stone unturned.
Before they set out, Family Head Hu ca to the villa to find Ye Ling.
"Divine Doctor Ye, I've just received news that the Zhao family is very likely founded by descendants of the Xuann!" Family Head Hu said gravely.
Xuann, a sect that cultivates only internal strength and not external exercises.
Similar to the Witch Sect and the Cult of Shadowy Yin, it is one of the powerful sects lurking among the populace!
Unlike the aforentioned two villainous sects, the reputation of Xuann was much better!
Through their unique breathing and ditative techniques, Xuann cultivated a number of formidable experts!
Although Xuann had many strong adherents, their sect rules were strict, so it was rare to hear of Xuann people committing misdeeds!
"Is this information reliable?"
Ye Ling frowned and asked.
A re family from Gusu City, not only was it involved with the Witch Sect, but now it also drew in the Xuann!
Family Head Hu nodded solemnly and said, "This information ca from a younger mber of my Hu family who is on good terms with a junior of the Zhao family; it was learned inadvertently!"
"According to that junior from the Zhao family, they have retained a set of Xuann's breathing and ditation techniques and even have connections with people within Xuann!"
Ye Ling nodded, not asking any further.
Let it be Xuann then. If they dared to ddle in his affairs with the Zhao family, even if the Sect Leader of Xuann himself ca, it would be to no avail!
"Let's go, it's ti to deliver the 'gift' we prepared for Family Head Zhao!"
Seeing that Ye Ling did not pursue the matter with Xuann further, Family Head Hu naturally did not speak more of it.
As for the 'gift' Ye Ling ntioned, a trace of worry appeared on Family Head Hu's face.
The head of the Zhao family was celebrating his eightieth birthday, and you're going to present him with a coffin?
Ye Ling had never explained the events at the Zhao family to Family Head Hu, so Hu had always believed that Ye Jiu was not a match for Family Head Zhao, hence his worried look!
…
Zhao family.
Because today was the eightieth birthday of the Family Head Zhao, the entire Zhao residence was bedecked with lanterns and strears, presenting a festive and joyous atmosphere!
At this ti, outside the Zhao family compound, nurous vehicles were parked, and upon looking, not a single car was priced below two million!
Those who were invited by the Zhao family were either rich or noble, all influential figures in Gusu City, and naturally, their modes of transportation were just as extraordinary!
"Father, the two honored guests have arrived!"
Zhao Qingming approached Family Head Zhao and whispered.
Hearing this, Family Head Zhao showed a hint of joy and said gravely, "Make sure to treat those two honored guests well!"
"Whether our Zhao family can step into Gusu City and beco a wealthy and prestigious family of Jiangnan all depends on them."
Zhao Qingming's expression turned serious as he nodded and said, "Rest assured, Father, I will ensure the two honored guests are well taken care of!"
"Good, off you go!"
"Right, rember to tell the two Offerings that the prey has ripened and it's ti to harvest!"
Family Head Zhao waved his hand, signaling Zhao Qingming to leave.
Although Family Head Zhao was already in his eighties, his two sons, Zhao Qingming and Zhao Qingyun, were both only in their thirties, a case of late fatherhood.
For this reason, one could say that Family Head Zhao doted on his two sons to an indulgent degree.
That was also why, after his younger son Zhao Qingyun was crippled by Ye Ling, he did not hesitate to stimulate the Gu insect inside his body, willing to exhaust his own vitality, just to make a move against Ye Ling.
However, unfortunately, the Gu poison only allowed him to montarily possess the power of a Grandmaster at its peak, failing to kill Ye Ling at the Zhao residence that day.
This was a regret for Family Head Zhao, but now things were different—with the two Offerings joining the Zhao family, re Grandmaster-level opponents could be wiped out with a wave of the hand.
Thinking that he would soon avenge his son Zhao Qingyun, a rich smile appeared on Family Head Zhao's aged face.
As the birthday star himself, Family Head Zhao personally stood at the entrance to welco guests from all directions, giving great face to the many visitors!
Seeing Family Head Zhao, these guests revealed heartfelt smiles, personally delivering the gifts they had prepared!
From jade and eralds to real estate and antiques, there was everything one could wish for!
An hour later, the guests had basically all arrived, and Family Head Zhao was also ready to enter the Zhao residence.
"Master Ye Ling has arrived!"
Just as Family Head Zhao turned around, a booming voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing that Ye Ling had arrived, many of the guests who had already entered the Zhao family's compound showed puzzled expressions.
"Who is this Ye Ling? Do we have such a person in Gusu City?"
Soone inquired doubtfully about Ye Ling's identity.
There were also those who knew of Ye Ling's identity who spoke up, "You don't know about Divine Doctor Ye Ling?"
"It's said that it was only after Divine Doctor Ye Ling made a move that Family Head Hu, who had been poisoned by a Gu, was cured!"
"However, this Divine Doctor Ye Ling is known for his eccentric character. I heard that even a Family Head who was willing to offer half of his fortune to have him treat a patient was refused by him!"
Hearing this, many of the guests who didn't know about soone like Ye Ling showed surprised expressions. Read new chapters at empire
Half of one's fortune!
None of those Family Heads poisoned by Gu had a net worth of less than fifty billion!
Half of one's fortune would be twenty-five billion!
Twenty-five billion and still unable to move Divine Doctor Ye Ling to act!
For a mont, everyone was full of curiosity about this Divine Doctor Ye Ling they had yet to et.
Accompanied by Ye Jiu and Family Head Hu, Ye Ling arrived in front of Family Head Zhao.
"Ye Ling, you dare to co to my Zhao family?"
Family Head Zhao said in a low voice.
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows, curiously responding, "What do you an by that, Family Head Zhao?"
"I ca with good intentions to wish you a happy birthday, and you welco like this? Don't tell the Zhao family's way of hosting guests is like this?"
Family Head Zhao's brow furrowed slightly and he coldly said, "I'd advise you not to pull any tricks! Otherwise, you won't leave the Zhao family alive today!"
"Heh, Family Head Zhao, you really have quite the narrow asure," Ye Ling chuckled lightly, then turned his head towards Ye Jiu, saying, "Go get the birthday gift I prepared for Family Head Zhao and bring it here!"
At those words, Ye Jiu turned and walked away.
Family Head Zhao's face was full of puzzlent—could it be that Ye Ling wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with him?
Hmph! You crippled my son's limbs; it won't be so easy to make ands just because you want to.
Family Head Zhao watched Ye Ling with cold eyes, harboring a murderous intent inside his heart!
