Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1667 - 1670: The Cheerful Medicine King Valley Master

Zong Zijin's words not only provoked contempt in the beautiful eyes of the charming Wenren Meiqiao but also shook the heart of the stunning school beauty Qin Yurou, who stood beside Shen Qiang and threatened sternly, "Zong Zijin, if you dare to lay a finger on Shen Qiang, I guarantee you will find life worse than death."Zong Zijin, upon hearing this, wished to retaliate, but the middle-aged man from the Dragon Group wouldn't let him. He covered his head and dragged him away.

"Little junior sister, I just killed an ordinary person, that's all. I'll be fine. When I return, if you dare to be with this Shen Qiang, I'll deal with you in the most brutal way!"

Listening to his threats, Qin Yurou's beautiful eyes were filled with rage.

Shen Qiang sighed helplessly and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you. I vouch for it as the King of Demons."

Hearing this, Qin Yurou turned her head to look into Shen Qiang's serious eyes, and suddenly, she felt inexplicable shyness mixed with spirited courage, and she nodded vigorously.

"Mhm! I knew you would protect me!"

Shen Qiang smiled.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

In Medicine King Valley, the ancient charm was palpable within the large study.

Sitting in a chair, the Medicine King Valley Master watched everything with calm eyes, so quiet as if nonexistent.

By his side, several elders of Medicine King Valley exchanged glances. Finally, one of them stepped forward reluctantly and said softly, "Master, this Zong Zijin is the chief senior disciple with a virtuous heart and extraordinary talent. What's happened is just a momentary lapse, so blaming him won't help. We should quickly find a way to get him out from the Dragon Group."

Upon hearing this, the Valley Master smiled and raised an eyebrow disdainfully, "You never tire of acting? To be honest, I've watched this Zong Zijin grow up. He's just a drama king. He hasn't learned much alchemy from the elders, but he's picked up their mannerisms quite well."

The elders looked embarrassed.

But the Valley Master seemed not to notice, and calmly continued, "In the past, I made him the chief senior disciple of Medicine King Valley because I thought if he could put on a show, it at least proved he wasn't stupid and had enough intelligence. After all, in this world full of hypocrisy, an overly honest person can't hold up the face of Medicine King Valley."

"So every time he acted, I pretended not to know, even when he clearly was infatuated with beauty, impregnated the seventh junior sister's female disciple, and blamed the girl for seducing him. I didn't punish him because I thought, in dealing with the world, sometimes one needs thick skin and a dark heart."

"That's the way of survival; too honest a person will only be deceived, too kind a person will only be bullied. Because an honest person, when deceived, will say never mind, a lesson learned. A kind person, when bullied, will say if he bullies me, I'll just ignore him."

"So those who deceive them, those who bully them, will never be punished, so they will continue to do so eagerly."

Turning to the embarrassed elders, the Valley Master smiled slightly and said, "Look at the world and you will see, there isn't a truly successful person who is a coward. So I previously never thought Zong Zijin was very bad."

"But now, this bastard has crossed the line." The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley raised an eyebrow calmly and said, "Using such a lousy method to frame someone is one thing, but being stupid enough to get caught?"

"What's more interesting is, he had the nerve to threaten my daughter?" The Valley Master laughed, "He forgot that everything he has today, his cultivation, techniques, and alchemy skills, were given by me."

When they heard this, the elders seemed to realize something, but just as they thought the Valley Master would instruct them to do something, he suddenly laughed and asked, "What do you think of this Shen Qiang?"

Having seen Qin Yurou joyously hugging Shen Qiang's arm during the livestream, they immediately grew a little tense, for they didn't understand what the Valley Master was thinking, so they exchanged anxious looks.

Seeing their silence, the Valley Master of Divine Medicine King Valley laughed and said to himself, "Since her mother left, and after hearing me say it's a pity she's not a boy, for so many years, this is the first time I've seen my precious daughter's face light up with such happiness and satisfaction."

In a very good mood, the Medicine King Valley Master raised an eyebrow at the shocked elders and laughed, "What's wrong, is there something inappropriate? I have only one daughter. She's grown up, and she likes Shen Qiang. I can tell that, being by Shen Qiang's side, she smiles just like her mother did when she was with me. So seriously, share your thoughts, no acting."

"Logically speaking, this Shen Qiang is brave and wise, his alchemy skills are exquisite, and the prowess of Heshenghe is just about acceptable. His appearance, stature, capabilities, all match well with the young lady, but our Medicine King Valley is a revered place, a sanctum of wisdom, whereas Heshenghe is full of demons, this..."

"So what? Power knows no good or evil; it's the human heart that does. If Cheng Xinyi's Bai Shiyi and Wanxin Hesheng's Old Xu didn't understand this, Bai Jiao and Xu Nan wouldn't have gone to Heshenghe, nor would Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei have dabbled with this kid." The Valley Master smiled brightly.

Hearing this, an elder hurriedly said, "Sect Leader, do you mean to pair the young lady with this Shen Qiang?"

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley laughed, "You don't have a daughter, so of course, you can't understand the joy a father feels seeing his daughter smile happily. Yes, so let's hear your thoughts."

"Agreed!" The Great Elder stepped forward with determination, "In terms of character, this Shen Qiang remains unmoved by fame and shame, notorious yet without evil deeds, rather, he upholds chivalry and has a sense of justice, never forgetting kindness."

"His alchemy skills are refined, dazzling even, perhaps not even a revived Pill King could overshadow him." The Second Elder's eyes sparkled.

Hearing both agreeing, the Third Elder, sensing something might be amiss, hastily said, "Valley Master, the matter of the young lady and Shen Qiang can be deliberated over time. Zong Zijin, after all, is your disciple, and the immediate priority should be to rescue him, for given time, with his talent in alchemy, he may prove a match for Shen Qiang."

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley burst into laughter, "Challenge Shen Qiang? I actually wish he had the courage, if he goes to confront Shen Qiang, to compete in alchemy with him, even if he loses his last shred of dignity, I'd still shelter him."

The Valley Master collected himself and sternly said, "But he has disappointed me, impregnating a girl and not daring to own up, unwilling to confront Shen Qiang directly, engaging in petty actions on the side and getting caught, hah, despite all my teachings, money, techniques, and heavenly treasures, now he threatens my daughter."

The Valley Master's face turned cold instantly, "Were it not for old times' sake, I'd have already sent someone to deal with him, so let him fend for himself. Moreover, I also want to see if this Shen Qiang is clever enough and has sharp enough tactics."

"Thus." The Valley Master arched an eyebrow with a faint smile and said, "Call Yu Rou and have her return to Medicine King Valley immediately, I think it's time I had a chat with her."
