Chapter 61 Don't Ask What You Shouldn't Ask
Several luxury cars drove out of the ancient estate of the Divine Doctor Sect, with Qitian Gate, the leader, sitting in the backseat with one leg crossed over the other, looking completely at ease.
"Thinking it over," the Vice Sect Leader, Liang Zhong, said, "Luo Keque is always steady, and he never acts without purpose. Since he claims that youngster surnamed Ye is a Peerless Divine Doctor, he might really have some skills."
"Peerless Divine Doctor? You tell me, all of us here have been studying medicine since we were kids, and we have spent most of our lives delving into the medicinal arts, yet none of us dare to call ourselves divine doctors. That kid, a greenhorn barely weaned from milk, do you think he has that capability?"
Qitian Gate snorted, then nodded and added, "But you're also right. We should be prepared for the improbable, just in case. If even Long Zaitian doesn't dare to act rashly against this kid, perhaps he really has some abilities. We cannot let our guard down."
Liang Zhong asked, "Then, may I ask the Sect Leader, how should we prepare?"
"That's simple," he scoffed, a confident expression revealing his control over the situation. "To deal with him, there's no need for the Sect Leader to take action personally. Just a little brainpower is enough to give that kid a hard time!"
Qitian Gate sneered, "Wasn't that kid responsible for killing an elder from the Jiang Family? Now he is heading to the Provincial City in the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province. All I need to do now is to make a phone call to inform the Jiang Family of this news. Just think about it, what do you think the Jiang Family's response will be?"
"Do you even need to ask? The Jiang Family will definitely be thunderously furious and will send experts to intercept and kill him," Liang Zhong blurted out without hesitation.
"Exactly!" Qitian Gate said, rolling his eyes and then bursting into laughter.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng was sitting in the last car, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed, resting. He wasn't naive; he was well aware of the potential dangers of his upcoming journey to the Southern River Region Jiangnan, even Hong Qingyan had warned him about it.
Although he was the Northern Border King, he might still be cautious before finally breaking through to become a Martial King; after all, it could lead to complications with the Gu&Poison Sect in the Southern Border, which even the Southern Territory had not been able to completely eradicate over the past decade.
Now, however, Ye Feng had succeeded in Opening his Aperture and achieved the esteemed status of a Martial King. In this world, there were hardly any threats to him anymore!
After one hour and a half, everyone finally arrived in the Provincial City of the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province. It was, after all, the Provincial City, undoubtedly more bustling than Jiangdu City, with towering buildings on both sides and a constant stream of traffic like an endless procession of horses and carriages.
Luo Keque, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said, "Mr. Ye, we have now arrived in the Provincial City. We've just received word from the Divine Doctor Sect here that we don't need to gather at the Sect. We'll head straight to the Provincial City's No. 1 Hospital."
"Straight to the hospital?" Ye Feng inquired.
"Yes," Luo Keque responded, "the message from there said that the head of the Cui Family, one of the Four Great Families, has contracted that strange illness, and his condition is very critical. They've asked us to go directly to the No. 1 Hospital in the Provincial City for a group consultation."
Ye Feng nodded, then asked, "Tell me, what are the Four Great Families of the Southern River Region Provincial City?"
Luo Keque turned his head again to glance at Ye Feng, who still had his eyes closed and was leaning back, and he couldn't believe that Mr. Ye didn't even know the Four Great Families of the Provincial City.
However, upon further thought, it made sense. Mr. Ye, though a Foster Son of the Fu Family and the Frenzied Son-in-Law of the Hong Family, hadn't been in Jiangdu or the Provincial City over the years. His identity and background were extraordinarily mysterious, and he might have only just returned from the Imperial City, so his ignorance was understandable.
"The Four Great Families of the Southern River Region Provincial City include the previously mentioned Jiang Family and the Cui Family. In addition, there is the Yin Family..."
"The Yin Family?" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.
"Yes, the Yin Family tends to keep a low profile, and their family disciples rarely show themselves in the circles of the wealthy, but the power of their family should not be underestimated.
Of course, the most powerful among the Four Great Families of the Southern River Region Provincial City is the Gusu Family," Luo Keque explained, pausing before continuing, "It's said that the Gusu Murong Family is an ancient clan with a thousand years of heritage, with a very powerful background. Here in the Provincial City, they are just one of the branches."
Ye Feng suddenly asked, "As for the Four Great Families, aside from the Cui Family head contracting a strange disease, how are the other three faring right now?"
Luo Keque answered, "Currently, we haven't heard anything about the other three families, but it's possible that my information is outdated. In addition, some of the slightly weaker family powers in the Provincial City have had many of their leaders contract this strange disease."
Ye Feng nodded slightly, then asked, "How are your connections in the Provincial City?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Luo Keque gave a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Ye might laugh at me, although I am the Vice Sect Leader of Jiangdu..."
"Get to the point!" Ye Feng sternly interrupted as he did not like people beating around the bush.
"Yes!" Luo Keque's expression tightened as he said, "I don't have any connections with the Four Great Families of the Provincial City, just some dealings with a second-tier family, the Pang Family."
Ye Feng said, "After we arrive in the Provincial City, use your connections to investigate the Yin Family for me."
"Investigate the Yin Family?" Luo Keque's complexion changed slightly as he asked, "May I ask Mr. Ye, is this Yin Family perhaps..."
But before he could finish, Ye Feng interrupted in a deep voice, "From now on, when I command something, just do it. Don't ask about things you shouldn't, understood?"
"Yes!" Luo Keque immediately nodded, although his mind couldn't help but race.
The other party wanted to investigate the Yin Family; could it be that he had not only made an enemy of the Jiang Family but also offended the Yin Family? If it were true, he would have to carefully consider how to interact with him from now on.
After all, offending one Jiang Family was terrifying enough, but if he had also offended the low-key and mysterious Yin Family, it meant half of the Four Great Families in the Provincial City were made enemies of, suggesting it would be nearly impossible to gain a foothold in the Jiangnan Province afterward.
After the car entered the Provincial City, it slowed down, circling around the highway for half an hour before finally arriving at the first hospital in the city.
"Mr. Ye, we've arrived!" Luo Keque got out of the car and then hurried over to Ye Feng's side to open the car door.
Ye Feng alighted from the car with the help of Hong Qingyan and Seventeen and sat in a wheelchair.
Ahead, people from Qitian Gate had also alighted, and Liang Zhong gave Ye Feng a glare before whispering, "Sect Leader, that crippled frenzied son-in-law from the Hong Family really followed us here."
"Don't bother with such an arrogant and ignorant young man. I have already notified the Jiang Family. Now we just wait and enjoy the show. Let's hurry inside; we don't want to keep the big shots of the Provincial City Divine Doctor Sect waiting."
After saying this, Qitian Gate straightened his attire and quickly entered the hospital with the aid of his assistant.
"Mr. Ye, they are already in the large conference room at the back of the hospital. Should we go there directly now?" Luo Keque asked.
"Go straight there!" Ye Feng's gaze remained level, and, though his face seemed expressionless, it somehow exuded an air of commanding pressure.
Luo Keque said no more and led Ye Feng into the hospital. Upon showing the Divine Doctor Sect's credentials, they quickly reached the large conference room on the top floor.
The conference room was crowded with people from the high ranks of the Provincial City Divine Doctor Sect, a few in charge from each city district's Divine Doctor Sect, and representatives from various grand families.
The conference room was bustling, resembling a marketplace. Ye Feng frowned slightly but said nothing. He quietly wheeled himself in.
