Miracle Doctor Chapter 481
Elder Longbrow did not go to the House of Joyful Red but instead went to the Ye family, where he was warmly received by Old Master Ye.
In the living room.
Elder Longbrow had one foot propped up on a chair, eating and drinking without a care, acting as if he were completely at home.
Soon, a bottle of Moutai was finished by him alone.
“Old Ye, I remember you have a fifty-year-old Moutai in your collection. Hurry up and bring it out,” Elder Longbrow urged.
Old Master Ye asked, “How is Ye Qiu?”
“Don’t worry, with me around, who dares to touch him? Who can touch him?” Elder Longbrow said, “He went to see the God of War.”
“Really?” Old Master Ye seemed skeptical.
“What, you don’t believe me?” Elder Longbrow said unhappily, “Even if you don’t believe my words, you should at least believe in my character, right?”
Character?
Do you even have that?
Shameless old man!
Old Master Ye cursed inwardly but maintained a smiling face, saying, “No rush with the drinking. First, tell me about what happened after Ye Qiu entered the city, and then I’ll drink with you until we’re both drunk.”
Elder Longbrow smirked, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, you old fox. Once I tell you, there’ll be no more wine. Hurry up and bring out the wine, and then I’ll tell you about Ye Qiu’s adventures in the city.”
“You should tell me first,” Old Master Ye said, “After you finish, I’ll bring out a jar of century-old Bamboo Leaf Green that I’ve been saving for you to taste.”
“Century-old Bamboo Leaf Green?” Elder Longbrow’s eyes lit up as he stared at Old Master Ye, “You’re not lying to me, are you?”
“It’s just a jar of wine. Why would I lie to you?” Old Master Ye chuckled, “Besides, you should trust my character.”
“I do trust your character, Old Ye. Last year, you asked me to divine a fortune for Ye Qiu, promising me a million, but you ended up giving me two million. That alone proves you’re a man of your word.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you about Ye Qiu’s adventures in the city.”
Elder Longbrow began, “As soon as Ye Qiu arrived at Xuanwu Gate, he was ambushed.”
“Old Ye, do you know who ambushed Ye Qiu?”
Elder Longbrow deliberately paused for effect.
Old Master Ye patiently replied, “I don’t know who it was, but I’m sure it must have been a master.”
“Wrong! The person who ambushed Ye Qiu wasn’t just a master—he was a top-tier master,” Elder Longbrow said.
“Who was it?”
“Blade Tyrant Cao Tianding.”
What?
Old Master Ye was shocked. Cao Tianding had made his move?
“Was Ye Qiu injured?” Old Master Ye asked urgently.
“Are you joking? With me around, how could Ye Qiu possibly get hurt?”
“However, I fought Cao Tianding for three hundred rounds under Xuanwu Gate, and I paid a heavy price to kill him.”
Elder Longbrow said with a pained expression, “I first exchanged over a hundred moves with Cao Tianding, and we were evenly matched. Then I used a hundred thunder talismans.”
“The thunder talismans I personally drew are incredibly powerful, a true weapon of mass destruction. Selling them to others would fetch at least a hundred thousand each. Sadly, all those talismans were wasted on Cao Tianding.”
“After using a hundred thunder talismans, Cao Tianding was only injured, not dead, and he still came at Ye Qiu with his blade.”
“You know how Ye Qiu’s skills are—he’s no match for Cao Tianding. If they fought, Ye Qiu wouldn’t even be able to block a single strike. Just as Ye Qiu’s life was in grave danger, I stepped in without regard for my own life and shielded him from Cao Tianding.”
“To ensure Ye Qiu’s complete safety, I risked my life to use the Dragon-Tiger Mountain’s secret technique, the Five Thunders True Method, and finally killed Cao Tianding. Because of this, I suffered severe backlash and nearly died. Fortunately, I took a secret elixir, which saved my life, but I won’t be able to use my inner strength for the next half month.”
Elder Longbrow said, “Old Ye, I risked my life to protect your grandson. Isn’t that enough?”
“Longbrow, thank you,” Old Master Ye said with genuine gratitude.
“Is that all?” Elder Longbrow was unsatisfied with Old Master Ye’s thanks.
“What else do you want?” Old Master Ye retorted.
Elder Longbrow put down his chopsticks and said, “Old Ye, Ye Qiu is your grandson. I risked my life to save him and used so many thunder talismans. All you’re giving me is a verbal thank-you. Isn’t that a bit insincere?”
“What do you mean?” Old Master Ye asked.
Elder Longbrow held up two fingers.
“I see. Later, I’ll have Shadow find you two women,” Old Master Ye joked, “Longbrow, I didn’t know you were so open-minded. One isn’t enough—you want two.”
“I’m not talking about women, I’m talking about money,” Elder Longbrow said, “Give me two million.”
“Oh, you want money? You should’ve said so earlier!” Old Master Ye said, “But you killed Cao Tianding and saved Ye Qiu’s life. Asking for only two million—is that appropriate?”
“What do you mean?” Elder Longbrow glared, his face filled with anger.
“Longbrow, don’t be angry. What I mean is, you saved Ye Qiu’s life. Asking for only two million seems too little,” Old Master Ye said, “I’ll give you three million!”
Three million?
Elder Longbrow was initially delighted, but then he grew wary. He knew Old Master Ye was a crafty old fox. Offering an extra million definitely meant there was a catch.
“Old Ye, since when have you become so generous?” Elder Longbrow glanced sideways at Old Master Ye, “Go on, what’s your condition?”
“They say you’re the world’s top diviner, and it’s true. Your ability to foresee things is truly impressive,” Old Master Ye first praised Elder Longbrow, then said, “Two million is to thank you for saving Ye Qiu’s life. The extra million is your payment. After taking this million, you’ll have to be Ye Qiu’s bodyguard for a year.”
“What? You want me to be that brat’s bodyguard? Old Ye, have you lost your mind?”
Elder Longbrow’s tone was harsh, “I’m the head of Dragon-Tiger Mountain, the third-ranked expert on the Dragon List. How could I possibly be someone’s bodyguard?”
“Besides, you’re only offering a million a year. Isn’t that an insult?”
“Then how much do you want?” Old Master Ye asked.
Elder Longbrow gritted his teeth, “At least five million.”
“Five million it is, then. Deal,” Old Master Ye agreed without hesitation.
Elder Longbrow was even more frustrated.
Only now did he realize that Old Master Ye’s earlier offer of a million was just a test to gauge his desired price.
If he had known, he would have asked for hundreds of millions right from the start.
What a loss!
Elder Longbrow glared at Old Master Ye and cursed, “You old fox.”
Old Master Ye smiled faintly and continued, “Longbrow, since you’ve agreed to be Ye Qiu’s bodyguard for a year, I hope you’ll accompany him tomorrow when he goes to the Bai family.”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 482
“No, I won’t go.”
Elder Longbrow refused without a second thought.
He wasn’t stupid. He knew exactly what Ye Qiu would face at the Bai family, and he had no intention of being Ye Qiu’s hired muscle.
Besides, Old Master Ye hadn’t even given him the money yet, and now he wanted him to do work? Wasn’t that just like a heartless boss?
Only an idiot would agree!
“Longbrow, you just agreed to be Ye Qiu’s bodyguard for a year,” Old Master Ye said. “As a bodyguard, you should have the awareness that wherever Ye Qiu goes, you should be there too.”
Elder Longbrow sneered, “I didn’t sign any contract with you, so there’s no employer-employee relationship.”
“What do you mean? Are you going back on your word?” Old Master Ye narrowed his eyes.
“Even if you give me five million, I won’t be Ye Qiu’s bodyguard…”
Before Elder Longbrow could finish, the smile on Old Master Ye’s face disappeared, and he said coldly, “Longbrow, you’re the head of a sect. Isn’t it unbecoming to go back on your word?”
So what if I go back on my word? What can you do about it?
Elder Longbrow said, “Anyway, I won’t go to the Bai family tomorrow.”
“You really won’t go?” Old Master Ye’s expression gradually turned icy.
“I said I won’t go, and I won’t.”
“Fine. In that case, don’t blame me for what happens next,” Old Master Ye said sternly, “Shadow.”
Whoosh!
A black figure suddenly appeared behind Old Master Ye and asked respectfully, “Master, what are your orders?”
The moment Elder Longbrow saw Shadow, he sensed trouble. But he couldn’t back down in terms of demeanor, so he shouted, “Old Ye, what are you trying to do?”
“What am I trying to do?” Old Master Ye’s lips curled into a sinister smile. “Since you’re going back on your word, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“Shadow, beat him up.”
“Remember, be ruthless. Keep hitting him until he agrees to accompany Ye Qiu to the Bai family.”
“Yes!” Shadow responded and began walking toward Elder Longbrow.
Smack!
Elder Longbrow slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Old Master Ye, yelling, “Old Ye, I saved your grandson’s life! Is this how you treat me?”
“Do you have no conscience?”
“The sages said, ‘Wealth cannot corrupt, might cannot bend.’ Let me tell you, my bones are the hardest part of me. Don’t think you can force me to submit like this.”
“Old Ye, leave some room for decency. If you dare lay a hand on me today, I’ll sever all ties with you.”
“One day, I’ll lead the Dragon-Tiger Mountain disciples and raze your Ye family to the ground.”
As Elder Longbrow spoke, Shadow had already reached him.
“Longbrow, I’ve always wanted to test your skills, but I never had the chance. Since we’ve met today, let’s spar. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. After all, you’re Ye Qiu’s savior. I’ll just knock your teeth out.”
“Shadow, don’t get cocky. I’m not afraid of you…”
Thud!
Elder Longbrow took a solid punch to the face.
“Damn it, Shadow! You’re really hitting me? Can’t you go easy? Don’t hit my face… Old Ye, tell Shadow to stop! I’ll go to the Bai family with Ye Qiu tomorrow, alright?”
Elder Longbrow, who had been so arrogant earlier, immediately caved the moment Shadow made a move.
He wanted to stand his ground, but against Shadow, he had no chance.
Not only was he suffering from severe backlash after using the Five Thunders True Method, leaving him unable to use his inner strength for half a month, but even at his peak, he wouldn’t be a match for Shadow.
Shadow, who always followed Old Master Ye around like a servant, was actually a formidable figure.
Thirty years ago, when a neighboring country ambitiously tried to seize an island in the Yellow Sea, they sent over a hundred experts and three martial arts masters to forcibly occupy it, even killing the soldiers stationed there. This enraged the leaders of China.
At the time, Old Master Ye was in his prime and was tasked with handling the situation. In a fit of anger, he sent Shadow to quell the disturbance.
Shadow single-handedly stormed the island and took down the three martial arts masters and over a hundred experts. It was said that the entire island was stained with blood.
From then on, the neighboring country behaved itself.
Shadow became famous overnight.
Old Master Ye also gained the favor of the highest leader at the time and quickly rose through the ranks. Within a few years, he became one of the most powerful figures in the country, second only to the top leader. In ancient times, he would have been a powerful prime minister.
It could be said that Shadow played a significant role in Old Master Ye’s rise to power.
Of course, aside from fearing Shadow’s skills, there was another reason Elder Longbrow didn’t dare challenge him: Shadow had a formidable disciple.
This disciple was none other than Ye Wudi, the third son of the Ye family.
Ye Wudi’s exceptional martial arts skills were honed under Shadow’s guidance.
It was even rumored that Shadow was the one who introduced Ye Wushuang, the God of Slaughter, to martial arts. Whether this was true or not, outsiders couldn’t say for sure.
In short, Shadow was a force to be reckoned with, and anyone who crossed him would regret it.
This was why, after Shadow punched him, Elder Longbrow didn’t dare fight back and instead begged for mercy.
Hearing Elder Longbrow’s plea, Old Master Ye said, “Longbrow, I’ll ask you one more time. Are you sure you’ll accompany Ye Qiu to the Bai family tomorrow?”
“I’m sure,” Elder Longbrow nodded vigorously.
Old Master Ye said, “This isn’t some stalling tactic, is it? You agree now, but tomorrow you’ll sneak away?”
That was exactly what Elder Longbrow had in mind, but he couldn’t admit it, or Shadow would beat him up again.
“Old Ye, how can you think of me like that? A real man keeps his word. If I say I’ll go, I’ll go.”
“Good.”
Old Master Ye gave Shadow a look, and Shadow quickly returned to his side.
Elder Longbrow finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, “Just you wait. First thing tomorrow, I’m leaving the capital and heading back to Dragon-Tiger Mountain.”
“Longbrow, since you’ve given me your word, I’ll be blunt. If you dare sneak away tomorrow, I’ll send Shadow to wipe out Dragon-Tiger Mountain,” Old Master Ye said with a cold, murderous glint in his eyes. “You know I always keep my word, and Shadow has the strength to do it.”
Elder Longbrow’s face stiffened, and he cursed inwardly, “Dammit, I shouldn’t have come to Old Ye for money. Now I have to accompany Ye Qiu to his death tomorrow. What a loss.”
Elder Longbrow said, “Old Ye, I told you earlier that after using the Five Thunders True Method, I suffered severe backlash and can’t use my inner strength for half a month. If Ye Qiu encounters danger tomorrow, I might not be able to help.”
Old Master Ye smiled, “That’s fine. As long as you accompany Ye Qiu to the Bai family, that’s enough.”
Elder Longbrow breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Master Ye then added with a smile, “If Ye Qiu dies at the Bai family, I’ll have you buried with him.”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 483
At the base of the Underworld Palace.
Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes and saw an elderly yet dignified man sitting beside him. Although this was the first time he had met the man in person, Ye Qiu immediately recognized him.
The supreme commander of the Underworld Palace, the God of War!
Ye Qiu was startled and quickly sat up.
Only then did he realize he was in an unfamiliar room. Besides the God of War, Tang Fei and Long Ye were also present.
“Ye Qiu, you’re finally awake. I was so worried,” Long Ye said.
“Ye Qiu, how are you feeling now?” Tang Fei asked.
“I’m fine,” Ye Qiu replied. “Where is this?”
“This is my room,” the God of War said with a gentle smile on his aged face.
Ye Qiu quickly glanced around. The God of War was wearing a military coat, sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket covering his legs.
Ye Qiu immediately got out of bed and saluted the God of War, saying loudly, “Hello, sir!”
“No need for formalities,” the God of War said. “How’s your body feeling?”
“Much better,” Ye Qiu replied with a smile.
At this moment, he felt as though his body was filled with boundless energy, as if he could never tire. He knew this was likely due to the effects of the Blood Bodhi.
“Tang Fei told me you took down Cao Tianding. Well done,” the God of War said, not hiding his admiration for Ye Qiu.
“Sir, you flatter me. It was just luck,” Ye Qiu said, still feeling a lingering fear as he recalled the battle.
Cao Tianding had been incredibly strong, so strong that Ye Qiu had felt despair. That was why Ye Qiu had used his trump card without hesitation, catching Cao Tianding off guard.
Additionally, Elder Longbrow’s use of the Five Thunders True Method had severely injured Cao Tianding, giving Ye Qiu the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow.
Cao Tianding had been taken down before he could fully unleash his power, dying in a rather humiliating manner.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Thankfully, his strategy had been correct, and Elder Longbrow had successfully mastered the Five Thunders True Method. Otherwise, it might have been Ye Qiu who ended up dead, and he would never have seen Bai Bing again.
Thinking of Bai Bing, Ye Qiu grew anxious and quickly asked, “Tang Fei, how long was I unconscious? What time is it now?”
Tang Fei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you won’t miss your chance to fight for Bai Bing. It’s currently 1 a.m.”
Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The God of War said, “Ye Qiu, Tang Fei has already reported the situation in the northwest to me. You played a crucial role in resolving the issue of the living dead and dismantling the super soldier research base.”
“Especially inside the base, you displayed remarkable bravery. Not only did you eliminate the super soldiers, but you also repeatedly saved your comrades, disregarding your own safety and showing no fear of death. You fully demonstrated the courage and responsibility expected of a soldier.”
“At the Underworld Palace, we always reward merit and punish mistakes. Therefore, you deserve to be rewarded.”
“Ye Qiu, what do you want?” the God of War asked.
Without hesitation, Ye Qiu replied, “Sir, I am a soldier. What I did was my duty. I don’t need any reward.”
The God of War was slightly surprised. “You don’t want a reward?”
“No.”
“Are you sure?”
Ye Qiu nodded. “I’m sure.”
“Your certainty doesn’t matter. I said you will be rewarded, and that’s final,” the God of War said, then turned to Tang Fei. “Announce it.”
“Yes!”
Tang Fei said, “Ye Qiu, in recognition of your heroic actions in the northwest, the Underworld Palace has decided to award you the Individual First-Class Merit Honor and promote you to the rank of Senior Colonel.”
Ye Qiu was utterly shocked.
In peacetime, it was extremely difficult for a soldier to receive the Individual First-Class Merit Honor. In fact, many soldiers were only posthumously awarded this honor.
Moreover, at just over twenty years old, he had been promoted to Senior Colonel, only one step away from becoming a general. In the military, this was an exceptionally rare achievement.
“Sir, isn’t this reward a bit too much? I feel like what I did doesn’t warrant such an honor,” Ye Qiu said, feeling uneasy.
The God of War smiled. “Ye Qiu, you don’t need to feel burdened. This honor was earned through your life-risking efforts. You deserve it.”
“Normally, we would hold a promotion ceremony and an award ceremony, but since you have other matters to attend to, I’ve taken the liberty of canceling these ceremonies.”
“Later, I’ll have Tang Fei give you the First-Class Merit Medal. As for the honorary plaque, I’ll keep it for you for now.”
The God of War spoke earnestly, “Ye Qiu, a tree that stands out in the forest will be blown down by the wind. You’re still young. You must remain humble and continue to strive for excellence, understood?”
“Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will keep it in mind,” Ye Qiu said modestly.
Long Ye chimed in, “Ye Qiu, you’re already a Senior Colonel at such a young age. If I were as outstanding as you, my grandfather would be overjoyed.”
Tang Fei added, “When I was your age, I was only a Major. Comparing myself to you is just depressing.”
“Maybe I’m just luckier than you,” Ye Qiu said with a smile. “As the ancients said, ‘Good looks bring good luck!'”
“Ugh!”
Tang Fei and Long Ye glared at Ye Qiu, almost wanting to punch him. Compliment him a little, and he starts showing off. Disgusting.
Then, Ye Qiu’s gaze fell on the God of War’s legs. “Sir, your legs…”
“They were injured by bullets on the battlefield when I was young. Both legs were crippled, and later it developed into ALS,” the God of War said with a calm smile, as if discussing something trivial.
Ye Qiu said, “Sir, I’m a doctor. Would you like me to take a look?”
“No need. I’ve consulted many famous doctors in the past, and none could help. Besides, it’s been decades, and I’m used to the wheelchair. There’s no need to trouble yourself,” the God of War declined.
Tang Fei urged, “Sir, Ye Qiu’s medical skills are exceptional. Let him take a look. Maybe he can cure you.”
“Those doctors couldn’t help you because they were incompetent. I’ve seen Ye Qiu’s skills firsthand, and they’re incredible. Sir, please let him examine you,” Long Ye also pleaded.
The God of War glanced at the two of them, then smiled and said, “Alright, let Ye Qiu take a look.”
Tang Fei removed the blanket covering the God of War’s legs and rolled up his pant legs.
Instantly, Ye Qiu gasped.
The God of War’s legs were emaciated, with密密麻麻 (dense) scars from the knees to the ankles, evidence of numerous bullet wounds. There were at least dozens of them.
It was hard to imagine how the God of War had endured such injuries.
In that moment, Ye Qiu felt a deep sense of respect and admiration for the God of War.
Ye Qiu then knelt down and carefully examined the God of War’s legs.
After a few minutes, the God of War asked, “Well? Can it be treated?”
To be honest, the God of War held no hope. After all, the leg injuries were decades old, and ALS was a complex and incurable disease. If it could be treated, he wouldn’t have been confined to a wheelchair for so long.
However, Ye Qiu looked up at the God of War and said with absolute certainty:
“Yes, it can!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 484
Ye Qiu’s single word, “Yes,” sent a shock through the God of War.
“Ye Qiu, what did you just say? Say it again.”
Even though the God of War had weathered countless storms as the commander of the Underworld Palace, his emotions were visibly stirred at this moment.
After all, he had been confined to a wheelchair for decades and had long given up hope of ever walking again. Yet, Ye Qiu’s words reignited a glimmer of hope.
Ye Qiu looked at the God of War and said earnestly, “Sir, I can treat your leg condition.”
Instantly, the God of War’s breathing became slightly labored. “Ye Qiu, are you just saying this to make me happy? Are you lying to me?”
“Sir, I am a doctor. A doctor’s fundamental duty is to be honest with their patients,” Ye Qiu reiterated. “I can treat your legs.”
Tang Fei was also overjoyed and urged, “Ye Qiu, if you can treat it, then hurry up and start the treatment.”
Ye Qiu said, “Although I can treat it, there’s a ‘but’…”
“But what?” the God of War asked anxiously.
“But I can’t guarantee that you’ll be cured immediately,” Ye Qiu said. “I can only try.”
“Try! Try right now!”
The God of War was eager. He had been in a wheelchair for decades and had dreamed of standing up again.
This feeling was akin to a man who had been single for thirty years, yearning to finally get married.
Ye Qiu nodded, rubbed his hands together to warm them, and then grasped the God of War’s right leg, beginning to massage it.
After ten minutes, Ye Qiu asked, “Sir, do you feel anything?”
“No,” the God of War shook his head.
Ye Qiu remained calm and then grabbed the God of War’s left leg, applying pressure as he massaged it. After a few minutes, he asked again, “Do you feel anything now?”
The God of War shook his head again. “Still nothing.”
Ye Qiu explained, “Your legs were severely injured, and later you developed ALS, which caused nerve damage and muscle atrophy. Over time, you lost sensation.”
“I just massaged both of your legs, and the results show that massage alone is ineffective.”
The God of War said, “In the beginning, I had military doctors massage my legs daily. It felt quite comfortable, but gradually, I lost sensation, so I stopped bothering them.”
“Actually, you should have continued with the daily massages. While it wouldn’t have allowed you to stand, massage promotes blood circulation, improves damaged nerves, and could even restore some sensation.”
“But it’s too late for that now.”
Ye Qiu took out a golden needle and instructed, “Tang Fei, get me some medical cotton swabs.”
“Wait a moment,” Tang Fei said, running out of the room. He returned two minutes later with a box of cotton swabs and handed them to Ye Qiu. “Is this what you need?”
“Yes,” Ye Qiu nodded, then added, “Also, get me some disinfectant alcohol.”
Tang Fei grumbled, “Why didn’t you say that earlier? I could have brought the alcohol and cotton swabs together. Now you’re making me run twice.”
Ye Qiu grinned. “I just wanted to experience what it’s like to boss around the Chief of Staff of the Underworld Palace.”
You jerk!
Tang Fei glared at Ye Qiu and asked, “Do you need anything else? Say it all at once.”
Ye Qiu smiled. “Nothing else for now.”
Tang Fei quickly left the room and returned shortly with the disinfectant alcohol.
“Long Ye, don’t just stand there. Help me sterilize the golden needles,” Ye Qiu assigned another task to Long Ye.
Soon, the golden needles were sterilized.
Ye Qiu held a five-inch-long golden needle between his fingers and inserted it into the God of War’s right knee. “Sir, do you feel anything now?”
“No.”
Ye Qiu removed the needle and took another five-inch-long golden needle, inserting it into the same spot. “How about now?”
“Still nothing.”
Ye Qiu’s expression grew serious. The God of War’s condition was more severe than he had anticipated.
He removed the needle from the God of War’s right knee and replaced it with a seven-inch-long golden needle, thinner than a strand of hair.
Ye Qiu swiftly inserted the needle into the God of War’s right knee, targeting the exact same spot as before.
“Sir, do you feel anything now?” Ye Qiu asked again.
The God of War shook his head. After three needle insertions, he still felt nothing—not even the pain of the needle piercing his skin. “Ye Qiu, don’t waste your effort…”
Before the God of War could finish, Ye Qiu suddenly bent his right index finger and flicked the end of the golden needle.
“Buzz!”
The needle vibrated rapidly, emitting a humming sound.
“How about now?” Ye Qiu asked again.
“Still nothing… Wait!” The God of War suddenly exclaimed, “I feel something.”
“What do you feel?”
“It’s like a warm current flowing through, warm and comfortable,” the God of War said.
Ye Qiu finally smiled.
His biggest concern had been that the nerves in the God of War’s legs were completely dead, which would have made treatment nearly impossible.
After several attempts, the God of War’s legs finally showed sensation, indicating that the nerves were damaged but not entirely dead.
This meant there was a significant chance of recovery.
Ye Qiu took another seven-inch-long golden needle and inserted it into the God of War’s left knee using the same technique. He flicked the needle, and it hummed.
“Do you feel anything?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Yes,” the God of War said. “But it’s different from the right leg. The right leg has a warm current, while this leg has a cold sensation, very cold.”
Ye Qiu smiled. “I now have a fifty percent certainty that I can cure you.”
“Really?” The God of War’s eyes lit up.
Ye Qiu smiled but didn’t answer. He then took two more golden needles and inserted them into the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of the God of War’s feet.
Strangely, the needle on the left foot went in smoothly, but the one on the right foot only penetrated about a centimeter before hitting something.
Ye Qiu lowered his head and activated his “Heavenly Eye.” Instantly, his vision penetrated the God of War’s foot, and he saw a shrapnel embedded in the Yongquan acupoint.
It appeared the shrapnel had been there for a long time, fused with the flesh.
Ye Qiu withdrew the needle from the right foot’s Yongquan acupoint and asked, “Sir, do you feel anything in your left foot?”
“Yes, a cold sensation,” the God of War said.
“Good,” Ye Qiu said. “Now I have a seventy percent certainty of curing you. As for getting you to stand, I am one hundred percent confident.”
Hearing this, the God of War was overjoyed.
Ye Qiu continued, “The treatment will take a few days, but I have urgent matters to attend to right now. Sir, once I’ve handled those, I’ll return to treat you. Is that acceptable?”
“Of course,” the God of War said. “Ye Qiu, the matter you need to handle—is it about Bai Bing’s marriage?”
“Yes,” Ye Qiu admitted.
The God of War’s expression immediately turned serious. “Tang Fei, Long Ye, both of you step out. I need to speak with Ye Qiu alone.”
“Remember, no one is to come near this room.”
“Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with on the spot!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 485
When Ye Qiu opened the door, half an hour had already passed. As for what he and the God of War discussed in the room, no one knew.
Tang Fei and Long Ye were guarding the door.
“The chief wants you two to come in,” Ye Qiu said to them.
Tang Fei and Long Ye immediately entered the room.
“Chief, you called for us?” Tang Fei asked.
The God of War nodded and said, “After dawn, Ye Qiu will go to the Bai family. You two will accompany him. As for what you might face, I’m sure you already have an idea. I only have one request: you must ensure Ye Qiu’s safety.”
“Yes, sir!”
Tang Fei and Long Ye responded in unison.
“No matter what Ye Qiu does, you must support him unconditionally. Even if he tears the sky apart, don’t be afraid. I will stand behind you.” The God of War’s voice was soft, but it carried an overwhelming sense of authority.
Tang Fei was surprised. From the God of War’s words, it seemed like he was hinting that they should cause a scene at the Bai family.
Why would the God of War want that?
What if Ye Qiu, in a fit of rage, ended up killing Bai Yujing or Pei Jie?
Just as Tang Fei was thinking this, the God of War added, “Of course, we live in a society governed by law, and the capital is under the watchful eye of the emperor. So, you can’t just kill people at will.”
“Moreover, you’re all adults. You must act with discretion.”
“What should and shouldn’t be done—I trust you all understand. I don’t need to say more, do I?”
The God of War’s gaze was stern as it swept over Ye Qiu, Tang Fei, and Long Ye.
“Chief, don’t worry. We won’t act recklessly,” Tang Fei said.
“Good,” the God of War nodded slightly. “Tang Fei, arrange a room for Ye Qiu. Let him stay at the base tonight.”
Tang Fei said, “Chief, the base’s conditions are quite modest. How about I take Ye Qiu to my home? My grandfather has been talking about Ye Qiu and wants to have a drink with him.”
“Is that so?” The God of War’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, like swords piercing Tang Fei’s heart.
Instantly, Tang Fei felt a pang of panic and quickly averted his gaze.
“Drinking is a trivial matter. There’s no rush.”
“As for the base’s modest conditions, Ye Qiu is a soldier. I don’t think he’ll mind.”
“Besides, in the entire capital, aside from the residences of the highest leaders, is there any place safer than here?”
The God of War then reprimanded, “Tang Fei, a true man should stand tall and upright. No matter the situation, never think of doing anything underhanded. I hope you remember this.”
Tang Fei’s face flushed. He hadn’t expected the God of War to see through his thoughts so easily.
He had wanted Ye Qiu to sneak into the Bai family tonight and quietly take Bai Bing away. That way, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have to confront the Bai family directly to stop the wedding.
This would have been safer for Ye Qiu, at least avoiding a direct clash with the Bai and Pei families.
But if they didn’t do this, imagine what would happen when Ye Qiu went to the Bai family to stop the wedding at dawn. The Bai family, humiliated in front of their guests, would undoubtedly spare no effort to retaliate against Ye Qiu.
And Pei Jie—would he just accept his fiancée being taken away?
The God of War had lived for so many years. How could he not understand such a simple matter?
Tang Fei felt both wronged and confused.
Wronged because he had been thinking of Ye Qiu’s safety but was scolded by the God of War. Confused because the God of War surely knew the dangers Ye Qiu would face at the Bai family, so why not let Ye Qiu take Bai Bing away tonight?
Recalling the God of War’s earlier words, “Even if he tears the sky apart, don’t be afraid. I will stand behind you,” Tang Fei suddenly felt a jolt of realization.
Could it be that the God of War wanted Ye Qiu to cause a scene at the Bai family?
Tang Fei was even more puzzled.
The God of War had only dealt with national affairs in recent years, showing no interest in other matters. Why would he want Ye Qiu to cause a scene at the Bai family?
What was the purpose of this?
At that moment, the God of War’s voice rang out again. “It’s getting late. All of you should go and rest.”
“Ye Qiu, tomorrow is up to you.”
“You must be careful.”
…
The next day.
The Bai family villa was decorated with lanterns and banners, filled with a festive atmosphere.
Today was the joyous occasion of the Bai family’s eldest daughter, Bai Bing, marrying the Pei family’s son, Pei Jie. Early in the morning, the Bai family’s servants were bustling about, their faces beaming with joy.
At 8 a.m.
Knock, knock!
The butler knocked on the study door and entered. “Young Master, it’s time to change your clothes. The guests will be arriving in two hours.”
Bai Yujing had stayed up all night, sitting in the study until dawn. His handsome chin was now covered with stubble.
“Have you found out who killed Cao Tianding?” Bai Yujing asked.
When he received the news of Cao Tianding’s death last night, even the usually composed Bai Yujing lost his temper.
Cao Tianding was his trump card. He had been certain that Cao Tianding would kill Ye Qiu, but he never expected that Ye Qiu would survive while Cao Tianding lost his life.
“I still don’t know who killed Cao Tianding, but I suspect it was Elder Longbrow,” the butler replied. “Elder Longbrow arrived in the capital last night.”
“Before dawn, I personally went to Xuanwu Gate. I found signs of a fierce battle near the city wall, and Cao Tianding’s body bore marks of being struck by lightning.”
“From what I know, Elder Longbrow is skilled in talisman magic and often carries thunder talismans with him.”
“Elder Longbrow is the head of Dragon-Tiger Mountain, possesses extraordinary skills, is known as the world’s top diviner, and is ranked among the top three on the Dragon List. If he ambushed Cao Tianding, it’s possible he could have killed him.”
Bai Yujing’s face darkened. “Where is that damned Taoist now?”
“At the Ye family,” the butler said. “Shortly after Cao Tianding’s death, Elder Longbrow visited Old Master Ye and stayed at the Ye family overnight.”
Bang!
Bai Yujing slammed his fist on the table, his face filled with murderous rage. “That damned Taoist! I’ll kill him sooner or later.”
“Young Master, you should go and change your clothes now. You’ll need to greet the guests at the gate soon,” the butler urged.
Bai Yujing stood up and asked, “Ye Qiu will definitely come today. Have you made the necessary arrangements?”
The butler nodded. “I’ve stationed over a hundred people within 500 meters of our villa. I’ve instructed them to shoot Ye Qiu on sight if he appears.”
“Has the expert I hired arrived?” Bai Yujing asked.
The butler replied, “He’s already here. I’ve arranged for him to rest in the guest room.”
“Good. If Ye Qiu dares to show up today, I won’t let him leave alive.”
Bai Yujing suddenly remembered something and instructed the butler, “Go and prepare my clothes. I’ll change in a moment. I need to make a phone call now.”
“Yes, sir,” the butler said before leaving.
Bai Yujing dialed a number on the landline. When the call connected, he bent slightly and said respectfully, “Master, I’ve encountered a small problem. I need your help to kill someone.”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 486
After a night’s rest, Ye Qiu woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and full of energy.
At eight in the morning.
Tang Fei knocked on Ye Qiu’s door and handed him a set of clothes.
“We’re going to the Bai family today, so you need to dress formally. After all, this is your first appearance in front of the big shots in the capital,” Tang Fei said, handing Ye Qiu a white Tang suit. “I thought you might not like wearing a Western suit, so I bought you a robe instead. Try it on.”
“Thank you.”
Ye Qiu took the clothes and went inside to change. When he came out, not only was Tang Fei waiting outside, but Long Ye had also arrived.
In an instant, both Tang Fei and Long Ye were struck dumb, their eyes fixed on Ye Qiu in awe.
Ye Qiu’s tall, slender figure, his flawless jade-like complexion, his bright, star-like eyes, and his straight, noble nose were all accentuated by the white Tang suit. He exuded an ethereal, otherworldly charm, looking as handsome as a celestial being descended to earth.
“What’s wrong with you two?”
Ye Qiu asked, puzzled by the way Tang Fei and Long Ye were staring at him.
Tang Fei snapped out of his daze and exclaimed, “I have to say, the saying ‘clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha’ is absolutely true. After you put on this outfit, I was reminded of an ancient poem: ‘A gentleman as flawless as jade, unparalleled in this world.'”
Long Ye, his eyes filled with envy, asked, “Ye Qiu, did you put on some kind of skincare product?”
Ye Qiu shook his head. “I never use skincare products.”
“Then how is your skin so perfect?”
“It’s just natural.”
Damn, he’s showing off again.
Long Ye gritted his teeth, wishing he could punch Ye Qiu in the face. *Bastard, do you have to show off like this?*
“Let’s go get breakfast,” Tang Fei said.
Ye Qiu asked, “Do I need to go and pay my respects to the God of War?”
“No need. Even if you go, it won’t make a difference.”
“Why?”
Tang Fei explained, “The God of War has trouble sleeping at night. He often stays awake all night and only manages to sleep for a few hours in the morning.”
“Is that so?” Ye Qiu complained. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known, I could have given him a few acupuncture needles last night to help him sleep.”
“We were busy last night, so I forgot. You can give him the acupuncture after you finish handling your current tasks. Let’s go get breakfast.”
With that, Tang Fei led Ye Qiu and Long Ye to the cafeteria.
The Underworld Palace is the most mysterious special forces unit in the military. Its base is built 200 meters underground and is capable of withstanding a magnitude 10 earthquake and a nuclear attack.
Although it is underground, the base is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. In addition to training areas like the combat room and shooting range, there is also a gym, swimming pool, arcade… and Ye Qiu even spotted a supermarket in the base.
In short, the base meets all the daily needs of its members.
Moreover, the base is designed with green pathways and an excellent ventilation system, making life here feel no different from life above ground.
Tang Fei explained to Ye Qiu, “The area we’re in now is the living quarters. The cafeteria, dormitories, and places for relaxation and fitness are all concentrated here. This is the smallest of the six zones in the Underworld Palace.”
*What? This place is at least a thousand square meters, and it’s the smallest?*
Ye Qiu was shocked.
Tang Fei continued, “The other five zones are the armory, the scientific research institute, the training ground, the underground airport, and the command center.”
“Although the Underworld Palace is built underground, it’s very large. I can’t explain everything to you in one go. When you have time, I’ll take you to visit the other zones.”
Tang Fei smiled. “Let’s eat breakfast first, and then we’ll head to the Bai family.”
The three of them entered the cafeteria.
As soon as they walked in, countless eyes turned toward them, all focusing on Ye Qiu.
There were both men and women in the cafeteria.
Since this was the base, everyone was wearing the standard uniform. Only Ye Qiu stood out in his white robe, shining like the sun in the sky.
Soon, whispers began to spread.
“Who is that man? Is he from the Underworld Palace? I’ve never seen him before.”
“He’s so handsome, like a celebrity on TV.”
“I wonder if he has a girlfriend. If not, maybe I still have a chance…”
Most of the comments came from the women, who were all standing tall, showing off their best features in an attempt to catch Ye Qiu’s attention.
Long Ye, seeing this, was green with envy.
As for the men, although none of them spoke, they were all cursing Ye Qiu in their hearts.
“Pretty boy!”
“Weakling!”
“Toothpick man!”
…
Tang Fei found a quiet corner to sit down and said, “Long Ye, go get the food.”
“Why should I go?” Long Ye protested. “I’m not even from the Underworld Palace.”
Tang Fei smiled. “You’re the lowest-ranking here. Who else should go?”
Long Ye glared at Tang Fei, as if to say, *Why do you have to be so harsh? What do you gain from bullying me?*
While Long Ye went to get the food, Ye Qiu asked, “Is Diaochan in the base? I haven’t seen her.”
“What do you want with her?” Tang Fei’s expression instantly turned serious, and he warned, “Ye Qiu, don’t be greedy. I’m telling you, Diaochan is not like Lin Jingzhi or Bai Bing. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about her, you might not live to regret it.”
Ye Qiu joked, “Look at you, I was just asking. You’re acting so serious, as if you have a crush on Diaochan…”
“Shut up!” Tang Fei cut him off. “If you value your life, don’t make jokes like that. If you anger Diaochan, neither of us will have a good ending.”
“Remember, don’t have any improper thoughts about Diaochan. Don’t bring trouble upon yourself.”
“This is a friendly warning.”
Tang Fei’s tone was stern.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but feel curious. *Who exactly is Diaochan? Why does Tang Fei become so serious the moment she’s mentioned?*
“You’re overthinking it. Diaochan helped me during a mission before, and I just wanted to thank her,” Ye Qiu explained.
Tang Fei’s expression softened slightly. “Diaochan isn’t in the base right now. She’s away on business. You can thank her when you see her in the future.”
“By the way, there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you,” Ye Qiu said. “Before I went on that mission to the East, you mentioned that Bai Yujing volunteered to go on the mission too. Is he also a member of the Underworld Palace?”
“Yes,” Tang Fei nodded. “The Underworld Palace has several core teams, and Bai Yujing is the captain of the first team.”
“What’s his rank?”
“Lieutenant Colonel, lower than you.”
Ye Qiu asked, “You also mentioned before that Bai Yujing doesn’t know martial arts. How did he become the captain of the first team? And why did the God of War allow Bai Yujing to join the Underworld Palace?”
Tang Fei explained, “The God of War is dedicated to the country. Anyone he believes can benefit the nation is recruited into the Underworld Palace.”
“Bai Yujing’s entry into the Underworld Palace was arranged by General Bai himself, so the God of War had no reason to refuse.”
“Although Bai Yujing doesn’t know martial arts, he is quite resourceful. Since joining the Underworld Palace, he has completed many missions without a single failure.”
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
At ten in the morning.
Ye Qiu, Tang Fei, and Long Ye left the Underworld Palace base and drove to the Bai family.
Miracle Doctor Chapter 487
The base of the Underworld Palace is about a half-hour drive from the Bai family’s residence.
After driving for fifteen minutes, the car came to a stop.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw two black Audi A8s parked by the roadside, both bearing military license plates.
Near the two Audis stood several young men, tall and handsome, their sharp eyes constantly scanning their surroundings.
Bodyguards!
Ye Qiu immediately recognized the identity of these young men.
“The two cars ahead are my grandfather’s and Elder Wan’s vehicles. It looks like they’re waiting for you,” Tang Fei said, pushing open the car door.
Ye Qiu quickly followed suit.
As he and Tang Fei approached one of the Audi A8s, the door opened, revealing Elder Wan and Elder Tang sitting side by side in the back seat.
“Greetings, sirs,” Ye Qiu said politely.
“Xiao Ye, come here,” Elder Wan said with a smile, beckoning him over.
Ye Qiu walked to the side of the car.
“Xiao Ye, Tang Fei has already told me about what happened in the northwest. Thanks to you, otherwise, my grandson wouldn’t have made it back,” Elder Tang said.
“Sir, you’re too kind. Tang Fei and I are brothers. We share both hardships and joys,” Ye Qiu replied modestly.
Elder Tang nodded with a smile, but his expression gradually turned serious. “Xiao Ye, today you must be careful and ensure your safety.”
“Also, I suggest that once you arrive at the Bai family, just take Bai Bing and leave. Don’t stir up trouble.”
“After all, the Bai and Pei families are prominent families in the capital. Offending them too severely won’t do you any good.”
Before Ye Qiu could respond, Elder Wan interjected, “Old Tang, you’re talking nonsense. How could the Bai and Pei families easily let Ye Qiu take Bai Bing away?”
“This storm is inevitable today.”
“Xiao Ye, listen to me. If things don’t go as planned, prioritize saving your own life. You’re still young. As long as you’re alive, there will always be opportunities.”
Elder Wan’s meaning was clear: it would be best if Ye Qiu could take Bai Bing away, but if not, he shouldn’t risk his life.
After all, Ye Qiu was still young, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
“Thank you, sirs. I’ll remember your advice,” Ye Qiu said gratefully.
“Old Tang and I are also heading to the Bai family for the wedding. We’ll see you there later,” Elder Wan said with a smile.
Ye Qiu waved as the two elders’ cars drove off. Only after they had left did he and Tang Fei return to their car.
Ten minutes later.
The car stopped again, about 600 meters away from the Bai family villa.
Tang Fei received a phone call and then said to Ye Qiu, “Bai Yujing has arranged over a hundred bodyguards near the villa, all armed. They’ve been ordered to shoot you on sight.”
“In that case, let’s deal with these bodyguards first,” Ye Qiu said, a cold glint in his eyes as he pushed open the car door.
“Long Ye and I will help you,” Tang Fei said, and both he and Long Ye followed Ye Qiu out of the car.
“Be careful,” Ye Qiu reminded them before heading off to deal with the bodyguards Bai Yujing had arranged.
As soon as he left, Tang Fei and Long Ye also began their operation.
Twenty minutes later.
Ye Qiu and the other two appeared at the entrance of the Bai family.
The over one hundred bodyguards Bai Yujing had stationed around the villa had all been knocked unconscious.
Ye Qiu glanced at the festive couplets and red lanterns hanging on the Bai family’s gate and let out a cold laugh. Just as he was about to step inside, a voice called out from behind, “Kid, wait for me.”
Ye Qiu turned around and saw Elder Changmei walking over.
“Why are you here?” Ye Qiu asked.
Elder Changmei replied with a righteous expression, “How could I not come when you’re in danger? Today, even if I have to risk my life, I’ll make sure you’re safe.”
To be honest, Ye Qiu was deeply moved by these words.
But then, Elder Changmei whispered, “Last night, when I killed Cao Tianding, I used the Five Thunder Technique and suffered severe backlash. I can’t use my internal energy for half a month. So, kid, don’t cause any trouble today. Don’t do anything reckless, or I won’t be able to protect you!”
*Then why did you even come?*
Ye Qiu was visibly annoyed.
He had no idea that Elder Changmei had been forced to come by Elder Ye. Otherwise, the old Taoist would have already fled back to Mount Longhu.
Tang Fei said, “Ye Qiu, the wedding is at noon. There are only a few minutes left. Let’s hurry inside.”
“Alright,” Ye Qiu replied, stepping toward the Bai family gate.
Elder Changmei continued, “Kid, remember what I said. Don’t cause any trouble today. Don’t do anything reckless. Don’t stir up any trouble!”
…
At 11:57 a.m.
The Bai family’s courtyard was filled with distinguished guests, the atmosphere lively and bustling.
The guests invited to the wedding were all influential figures. Half of them were people usually seen only on the news, while the other half were regulars on the Forbes rich list.
The wedding was about to begin.
“Young Master, all the bodyguards we arranged have been knocked out. Ye Qiu is already outside,” the butler said with concern.
“Let him in! The Bai family isn’t a place where he can come and go as he pleases,” Bai Yujing ordered. “Notify the emcee to begin.”
“Yes!”
Soon, a beautiful female emcee took the stage. After a few words, she invited the newlyweds to come forward.
As the wedding march played, Pei Jie, dressed in a white suit, and Bai Bing, in her wedding gown, slowly appeared on the stage.
At that moment, Ye Qiu and his group entered the courtyard.
“Oh, you started without waiting for me?” Ye Qiu said loudly with a laugh.
Hearing his voice, everyone turned to look at the entrance, curious about these uninvited guests.
Ye Qiu!
Bai Bing’s heart trembled, and tears nearly fell from her eyes.
He’s here. He actually came!
Bai Bing knew that Ye Qiu must have faced numerous life-and-death dangers on his way from Jiangzhou to the Bai family. Thinking of Bai Yujing’s methods, she instinctively wanted to warn Ye Qiu to leave immediately. But before she could speak, Bai Yujing had already stepped forward, blocking Ye Qiu.
“Are you Ye Qiu?”
Bai Yujing stood in front of Ye Qiu, a faint smile on his face as he began to scrutinize him.
He couldn’t understand how this guy, with just one head and two arms, was so hard to kill.
“I am Ye Qiu. Are you Bai Yujing?” Ye Qiu asked, also observing Bai Yujing. *This guy really is handsome, enough to outshine those popular young celebrities.*
“That’s right, I’m Bai Yujing,” Bai Yujing said with a smile.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “I’ve long heard that Young Master Bai is good-looking. Seeing you today, the rumors are true. You look like a woman.”
Instantly, the lively atmosphere in the courtyard turned deathly silent.
Everyone could tell that Ye Qiu was mocking Bai Yujing for being effeminate.
Bai Yujing wasn’t angered. His face still wore a warm, gentle smile as he asked, “Ye Qiu, are you here to give a gift or to cause trouble?”
“Is there a difference?” Ye Qiu retorted.
“Of course there is. If you’re here to give a gift, I naturally welcome you. But if you’re here to cause trouble…” Bai Yujing paused, his smile turning cold as he continued, “If anyone dares to cause trouble here today, no matter who they are or what their status is, I won’t let them leave alive.”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense.
Ye Qiu showed no fear on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, “This is the capital. How could I dare to cause trouble? I’m here to give a gift.”
“If you’re here to give a gift, then where is it? Can you show it to me?” Bai Yujing clearly didn’t believe Ye Qiu’s words.
“Of course. But before I present the gift, I must formally introduce it, as it’s something I carefully selected.”
Ye Qiu declared loudly, “This item is square, with sharp edges and corners. It is red, dazzling to the eye, and cold, sending chills down the spine. It is known as the foremost of ancient divine artifacts.”
The foremost of ancient divine artifacts?
What could it be?
Just as everyone was filled with curiosity, they suddenly saw Ye Qiu pull out a brick from his sleeve and slam it onto Bai Yujing’s forehead.
*Thud!*
Blood splattered.
Miracle Doctor Chapter 488
Bai Yujing was struck by the brick, and blood streamed down his forehead, making his once handsome face now appear twisted and terrifying.
The sudden turn of events shocked the guests.
The scene immediately erupted into chaos.
“Who is that guy?”
“How dare he hit Young Master Bai? Is he tired of living?”
“He’s asking for death!”
“…”
The guests whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Ye Qiu, as if they were looking at a dead man.
“Kid, didn’t I tell you not to cause trouble when we entered? Why did you still take action…”
Elder Changmei’s face was full of despair, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Ye Qiu slam the brick into Bai Yujing’s head again.
*Thud!*
Bai Yujing’s head split open, blood splattering everywhere. His body swayed uncontrollably, about to collapse to the ground.
At the critical moment, the Bai family’s old butler rushed over and caught Bai Yujing, preventing him from falling. He then shouted at Ye Qiu, “How dare you attack our young master? You have no idea how you’ll die!”
“Are you threatening me?” Ye Qiu’s gaze immediately fell on the butler’s face.
The butler’s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, meeting Ye Qiu’s eyes made him feel an uncontrollable chill, as if he were facing not a man, but a devil.
This feeling was terrifying!
Although the butler was terrified inside, he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he put on a tough front and shouted, “Ye Qiu, don’t be so arrogant. This is the Bai family. You can’t act recklessly here.”
“From the sound of it, you’re trying to stop me, huh?” Ye Qiu sneered. “You’re just a dog raised by the Bai family. What right do you have to stop me?”
“Ye Qiu, you—”
Before the butler could finish, he saw Ye Qiu raise the brick. His face changed, and he instinctively tried to step back, but it was too late.
*Thud!*
The brick hit his head.
The butler felt the world spin around him. He staggered back two steps, barely managing to stay upright. Then, a warm, metallic-smelling liquid flowed down from his temple.
Pain, so much pain!
The butler clutched his head, struggling to stand steady. He pointed at Ye Qiu, about to speak, but Ye Qiu beat him to it.
“If you’re a dog, act like one. Your master hasn’t spoken yet. Why are you barking?”
Without hesitation, Ye Qiu kicked out.
*Bang!*
The butler flew backward like a kite with its string cut, landing more than ten meters away in the middle of the courtyard. The impact cracked the floor tiles.
After all, he was in his sixties or seventies. How could he withstand such a blow?
The butler’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
After kicking the butler away, Ye Qiu weighed the brick in his hand, his gaze returning to Bai Yujing. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Strangely, even though he was smiling, it sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
The guests could tell that Ye Qiu was about to attack Bai Yujing again.
“Old Wan, should we stop Ye Qiu? I’m afraid if this continues, things will spiral out of control!” Elder Tang said gravely.
The Bai family was a prominent family in the capital, and Bai Yujing was their sole heir. If Bai Yujing died, Ye Qiu would be in serious trouble, possibly even facing execution.
“Stop him? If Bai Yujing doesn’t die, Ye Qiu will,” Elder Wan said. “From the moment Bai Yujing tried to kill Ye Qiu, their fates were sealed. It’s either him or Ye Qiu.”
“But…”
“Old Tang, don’t worry. Even if the sky falls, there’s still the God of War.”
If Ye Qiu really caused a catastrophe, would the God of War save him?
After all, in the eyes of someone as powerful as the God of War, Ye Qiu was just a pawn.
Elder Tang wasn’t just worried about Ye Qiu’s safety; he was also concerned about Tang Fei.
Tang Fei had come with Ye Qiu. If Ye Qiu caused a major incident, Tang Fei would inevitably be implicated.
Elder Wan seemed to sense Elder Tang’s concern and said, “Ye Qiu spent the night at the Underworld Palace. The God of War must have spoken to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so bold today.”
Hearing this, Elder Tang’s heart skipped a beat. “Old Wan, are you saying that Ye Qiu’s actions are under the God of War’s orders?”
“That’s a possibility,” Elder Wan said with a smile. “Old Tang, you’re getting older, but you’re also becoming more impatient. Look at Tang Fei. That kid is calmer than you.”
Elder Tang glanced at Tang Fei, who stood behind Ye Qiu like a bodyguard, his face expressionless.
“Tang Fei is very steady. If even he isn’t stopping Ye Qiu, then it’s likely that Ye Qiu’s actions are indeed under the God of War’s orders.”
Elder Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but then a new wave of confusion washed over him.
“The God of War is dedicated to the nation. I’ve never heard of him having any grudges. Why would he want Ye Qiu to beat up Bai Yujing?”
As Elder Tang pondered this, Ye Qiu took two steps forward, standing in front of Bai Yujing, and raised the brick again.
“Oh no, that kid is about to strike!”
“We have to stop him!”
“If Young Master Bai dies, the capital will be thrown into chaos!”
“Where’s Bai Jianjun? He’s Bai Yujing’s father. Why hasn’t he stepped forward yet?”
“Bai Jianjun went to the hospital. I heard Old General Bai’s health is failing. He probably won’t be back anytime soon!”
“What do we do?”
Just as the guests were growing anxious, a magnetic voice rang out.
“Ye Qiu, that’s enough!”
Instantly, everyone turned toward the source of the voice. When they saw who it was, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master Xiao has stepped in. He should be able to stop that kid.”
“Yes, Master Xiao is the younger brother of Marquis Xiao Jiu. Few people in the world dare to mess with him.”
“Besides, Master Xiao is different from Young Master Bai. Bai Yujing is a scholar with no strength, but Master Xiao is a martial arts expert. If that kid dares to challenge Master Xiao, he’ll die a horrible death.”
When Ye Qiu saw Xiao Qingdi, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This guy is here too?
Xiao Qingdi was as handsome as ever, dressed impeccably. The only difference was that his legs were now useless, and he was confined to a wheelchair.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Master Xiao? Long time no see,” Ye Qiu said, walking toward Xiao Qingdi with a smile.
“It has been a while. I didn’t expect to see you in the capital,” Xiao Qingdi said with a sigh, then added, “Ye Qiu, you need to understand that this isn’t Jiangning.”
“In Jiangning, you could do as you pleased, but this is the capital. If you don’t rein yourself in, you might end up dead.”
“That’s my advice to you.”
Ye Qiu’s smile faded. “Master Xiao, thank you for your advice. Ever since you left Jiangning, I’ve been uneasy. I’ve always wanted to tell you something face-to-face.”
*Are you going to apologize to me? Don’t expect me to forgive you.*
Xiao Qingdi sneered inwardly and asked, “What do you want to say?”
“Don’t mess with me. I hold grudges,” Ye Qiu said, then suddenly slammed the brick down.
Miracle Doctor chapter 489
“Bang!”
Xiao Qingdi’s head split open. His fate was even worse than Bai Yujing’s, with even more blood flowing out.
The guests’ expressions changed dramatically.
They hadn’t expected that Xiao Qingdi, who had only tried to persuade with a few words, would be smashed over the head with a brick by Ye Qiu.
“Who the hell is that guy? He’s way too ruthless!”
“He not only went all out against Young Master Bai but even dared to hit Young Master Xiao. Does he not know that Xiao Qingdi is the younger brother of the Champion Marquis?”
“He’s looking for death.”
“More than just looking for death, I think he’s insane.”
“Yeah, he’s definitely a lunatic! How else would he dare to do something this crazy?”
Xiao Qingdi had at least trained in martial arts. His body was much stronger than Bai Yujing’s. After taking a brick to the head, he sat motionless in his wheelchair, but a trace of hostility appeared in his eyes.
“You dare hit me?” Xiao Qingdi stared at Ye Qiu with cold, murderous eyes.
“Didn’t you already experience it firsthand?” Ye Qiu smiled. “If you think I went too easy on you just now, I don’t mind doing it again. I don’t find it troublesome at all.”
Smack!
Ye Qiu slapped Xiao Qingdi’s face with another brick. A sickening crack echoed, and Xiao Qingdi’s nasal bone shattered instantly, his once-handsome face now covered in blood.
Xiao Qingdi remained motionless in his wheelchair, staring intensely at Ye Qiu, the murderous intent in his eyes growing stronger.
Ye Qiu acted as if he hadn’t noticed at all, laughing as he said, “Confucius once said: If you fight, use a brick! Never swing randomly, aim for the face, hit with force. If you miss, try again. If your right hand gets tired, use your left. Since you’re already fighting, why not invite a friend? Would that not be a great joy?”
“Do you two want to try?”
Ye Qiu turned to look at Tang Fei and Long Ye, grinning. “Smashing someone’s face with a brick feels amazing.”
Tang Fei twitched his mouth and turned away.
Long Ye, without a second’s hesitation, strode over, took the brick from Ye Qiu’s hand, and stood before Xiao Qingdi, laughing loudly.
“Xiao Qingdi, bet you didn’t expect this, huh? I’m back!”
“Back then, you beat me so badly I had to pick my teeth off the floor. I’ve never forgotten that humiliation.”
“So tell me, should I take this chance to get my revenge?”
“Long Ye, do you want to die?” Xiao Qingdi roared.
Smack!
Long Ye swung the brick hard against Xiao Qingdi’s face. In an instant, his entire face looked like a car crash scene—utterly gruesome.
“F*** you! You still dare to threaten me at this point? Who else would I hit if not you?”
“You think you’re still the old Xiao Qingdi?”
“Now you’re just a cripple. I can beat you whenever I want! If you’ve got the skills, fight back! Pfft!”
Long Ye spat directly on Xiao Qingdi’s face.
Ye Qiu was stunned. This guy was even more ruthless than he was. He couldn’t help but feel relieved that Xiao Qingdi was already crippled—otherwise, he’d definitely be going after Long Ye with his life.
Xiao Qingdi clutched the wheelchair’s armrests tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Long Ye, wanting nothing more than to devour him alive.
Being spat on in front of so many people—this was an unbearable humiliation!
“The f*** are you staring at? Keep glaring and I’ll dig your eyeballs out!” Long Ye cursed. “Don’t think just because you’re the Champion Marquis’s brother that I’d be scared of you.”
“Other than having your brother as backup, what else do you have?”
“You’re just a useless piece of trash!”
Trash? He called me trash?!
“Ahhh—!”
Xiao Qingdi screamed in rage, but it was futile. His legs were already crippled, and he couldn’t even stand up. Despite having all his martial skills, he was completely powerless. The frustration was unbearable.
At this moment, Xiao Qingdi wanted nothing more than to stand up—an urge stronger than he had ever felt before.
“I’ll endure this for now, but the day I stand up again, I will kill you!”
Xiao Qingdi swore silently.
“I thought you’d at least try to stand like a man, but it turns out you really have become a useless cripple.”
Long Ye sneered, then added, “Since I was taught from a young age not to bully the disabled, I’ll stop now.”
Smack!
Long Ye threw the brick away and turned back to Tang Fei’s side.
At that moment, Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Qingdi and said, “Your brother saved my life once. Because of that, I’ll let you off today.”
“But remember my words—don’t mess with me again. I hold grudges. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so easy on you.”
“And next time, if you hire assassins, find stronger ones. Guys like Asura and Rakshasa? Crushing them is easier for me than killing an ant.”
Xiao Qingdi’s pupils shrank violently.
He was right—those assassins, Asura and Rakshasa, had been hired by him.
When Xiao Qingdi learned that Ye Qiu had arrived in the capital, he immediately schemed, offering a high price to hire killers.
If they succeeded, he would get his revenge. If they failed, Bai Yujing would take the blame.
After all, Bai Yujing had already sent so many people after Ye Qiu. Adding one or two more assassins wouldn’t make a difference—Ye Qiu wouldn’t suspect him.
He had been extremely discreet about it.
How did Ye Qiu find out?
Ye Qiu, of course, wasn’t going to tell him that the God of War had investigated it. Instead, he warned Xiao Qingdi coldly, “Remember, don’t provoke me again. Even if the Champion Marquis intervenes, he won’t be able to save you.”
After saying this, Ye Qiu ignored the shocked gazes around him and strode over to Bai Bing.
It had been a while since he’d seen her. Bai Bing looked thinner, her complexion dull even under layers of makeup—it was clear she had suffered a lot.
“Bing-jie, I’m sorry for making you go through this.” Ye Qiu’s face was full of guilt.
Bai Bing first shook her head, then suddenly threw herself into Ye Qiu’s arms, bursting into tears.
They held each other tightly.
Only then did the guests realise—Ye Qiu had stormed the Bai family’s estate for Bai Bing.
Half a minute later.
Bai Bing pulled away from Ye Qiu’s embrace, wiped her tears, and asked, “Was it worth it? Doing all this for me?”
“It was.” Ye Qiu looked her straight in the eyes and said firmly, “For you, I’d give up the entire world.”
In that moment, Bai Bing’s tears flowed again.
“Don’t cry anymore. You won’t look good if you keep crying.” Ye Qiu gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, then turned to the handsome man in a white suit, Pei Jie, and said coldly, “Bai Bing is my woman. I’m taking her away. Do you have any objections?”
“Go ahead.”
Pei Jie’s face was expressionless. What could he do? He didn’t want to end up like Bai Yujing and the others, getting his face smashed by a brick.
This madman had even dared to hit Xiao Qingdi—why would he care about him?
“Good. Consider this me owing you a favour. If you ever need something, come find me.”
With that, Ye Qiu held Bai Bing’s hand and said affectionately, “Bing-jie, let’s go.”
“Mm.” Bai Bing nodded.
Just as they turned to leave, a cold voice rang out—
“You think you can just walk away after causing trouble? Do you take the Bai family for a playground, where you can come and go as you please?”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 490
Ye Qiu looked up and saw that the person speaking was none other than Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing stood in place, his servants having already stopped the bleeding and bandaged his head.
His eyes fixed on Ye Qiu, his face dark as he said, “The Bai family is not a place where you can come and go as you please. If you dare to cause trouble here without paying a price, wouldn’t it make people laugh at the Bai family for being weak?”
“Ye Qiu, I am a merciful man. Today is also Pei Jie and Bai Bing’s joyous occasion. I don’t want to resort to violence.”
“If you sever one of your arms, I can let you leave alive. Otherwise… you die!”
When Bai Yujing said the word “die,” a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Ye Qiu sneered, “Bai Yujing, can you have some shame?”
“You sent so many people to ambush me on my way to the capital, and now you claim to be merciful? I feel embarrassed for you.”
“It seems Elder Changmei was right. You really are a hypocritical bastard.”
Elder Changmei felt a wave of frustration upon hearing this.
*When did I say that?*
*I don’t remember saying that.*
*Kid, why do you have to drag me into this? Is it because I look kind?*
Bai Yujing’s expression remained cold. “Ye Qiu, I’ll ask you one last time. Will you sever your arm, or will you choose death?”
“Bai Yujing, you seem to have overlooked something,” Ye Qiu said with a smile. “Do you think I came here today just to take Bingjie away?”
“What do you mean?” Bai Yujing narrowed his eyes.
Ye Qiu’s voice turned icy. “You sent so many people to kill me. If I let you live, wouldn’t I lose face?”
Hearing this, the entire crowd was shocked.
“What does that kid mean?”
“Is he going to kill Young Master Bai?”
“He’s crazy! Absolutely crazy!”
“If Young Master Bai dies, he won’t live either!”
“Maybe he’s just trying to scare Young Master Bai…” Before the speaker could finish, they heard Ye Qiu shout, “Tang Fei, Long Ye, help me protect Bingjie. If she loses even a single hair, you’ll be in for a world of pain!”
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely protect Sister Bing,” Long Ye said.
Ye Qiu let go of Bai Bing’s hand and said softly, “Bingjie, wait for me for a moment.”
Bai Bing’s beautiful face was full of worry as she looked at Ye Qiu and said, “Be careful. Bai Yujing is very cunning.”
“Don’t worry. No matter how cunning he is, he’s just trash in my eyes.”
*Trash?*
Hearing these words, Bai Yujing’s eyes burned with anger.
“Since you’re asking for death, don’t blame me,” Bai Yujing said, raising his right hand.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Over a hundred bodyguards rushed out from inside the villa, each holding a machete.
It was clear that Bai Yujing had anticipated Ye Qiu causing trouble and had made preparations in advance.
“Esteemed guests, to avoid harming the innocent, please step back,” Bai Yujing reminded.
Immediately, all the guests stepped back, clearing a large space.
The hundred-plus bodyguards quickly surrounded Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu ignored them and said disdainfully, “Bai Yujing, did the brick smash your brain? Even Cao Tianding couldn’t kill me. Do you think these trash can kill me?”
“Whether they can kill you or not, we’ll find out soon enough,” Bai Yujing said to the bodyguards. “Whoever kills him will be rewarded with one million.”
*Roar!*
The bodyguards, as if injected with adrenaline, rushed toward Ye Qiu in a frenzy.
Ye Qiu stood still, not moving until one bodyguard reached him. Then, he threw a punch.
*Bang!*
The first bodyguard to reach Ye Qiu was sent flying before he could even raise his machete.
More bodyguards charged forward.
Ye Qiu remained in place, knocking them down one by one, two by two.
In less than five minutes, all hundred-plus bodyguards were lying on the ground.
The guests were stunned.
They never expected Ye Qiu to be so skilled. Over a hundred bodyguards hadn’t even managed to scratch him.
Only now did the guests understand why Ye Qiu was so arrogant. He had the skills to back it up!
Seeing all his bodyguards defeated, Bai Yujing’s face grew even darker. He shouted at the bodyguards, “Don’t forget who has been supporting you all these years.”
“I’ve treated you well, giving you money, women, whatever you wanted. Today, it’s time for you to repay me.”
“Of course, I won’t treat you unfairly. The reward is now ten times higher. Whoever kills him will get ten million.”
“If you all kill him together, I’ll give each of you one million.”
*Whoosh!*
The bodyguards, who had been lying on the ground, quickly got up and charged at Ye Qiu again.
This time, the bodyguards were bloodthirsty, swinging their machetes wildly, completely disregarding their own safety.
“I showed mercy earlier, but since you don’t know your place, I’ll teach you a lesson,” Ye Qiu said, stepping forward and grabbing a bodyguard’s arm, then twisting it hard.
*Crack!*
The bodyguard’s arm instantly broke, and the machete fell to the ground.
Ye Qiu caught the machete mid-air and swung it, cutting down another bodyguard.
Next, Ye Qiu charged at the group of bodyguards, machete in hand.
With each swing of the blade, another bodyguard fell.
In just a short while, all hundred-plus bodyguards were lying in pools of blood, moaning in pain. Some had lost arms, others legs. It was a scene of utter carnage.
Most of the guests, accustomed to a life of luxury, had never seen such a scene. They felt their scalps tingling.
They looked at Ye Qiu, his white clothes still spotless, with terror in their eyes, as if he were a devil.
“All these people… crippled by him?”
“He’s too ruthless!”
“He’s a butcher! A complete butcher!”
Ye Qiu smiled as if nothing had happened, holding the machete and walking toward Bai Yujing.
The machete was dripping with blood, and with each step Ye Qiu took, blood dripped onto the ground, a horrifying sight.
“Bai Yujing, now it’s your turn!”
Ye Qiu stopped three meters away from Bai Yujing, pointing the machete at him. “I always repay kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance. Don’t expect me to show you any mercy.”
Elder Changmei, seeing Ye Qiu’s overwhelming killing intent, felt a sense of foreboding.
“This kid is determined to kill Bai Yujing. If this continues, the sky will fall. No, I can’t stay here. I need to find a way to slip away.”
However—
Before Elder Changmei could escape, a loud voice rang out:
“Benefactor Ye, this is not a place for killing. Please put down your blade!”
Instantly, Elder Changmei’s heart skipped a beat.
“Oh no, why is he here?”
