The Luo Family bodyguards shook their heads repeatedly.
"We can’t disclose that information."
"Please leave at once."
The Luo Family bodyguards were clearly getting impatient.
If they stayed any longer, a fight would surely break out.
Mu Xinlei, looking helpless, glanced back at Chen Qingdi.
Chen Qingdi nodded at him.
"I’m here to save your Elder Luo."
"Without me, he will die today."
"The air is thick with the aura of death. I’m afraid your Elder Luo is already on the brink. You’d better let us pass quickly," Chen Qingdi said.
Hearing his words, the Luo Family bodyguards stared coldly at Chen Qingdi.
"Stop your nonsense."
"If you spout any more, don’t blame us for getting rough," a Luo Family bodyguard said coldly.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures."
"President Mu, it looks like we’ll have to force our way in," Chen Qingdi said.
"Force your way into the Luo Family residence? I’d like to see you try."
The Luo Family bodyguards were no pushovers, of course.
Every one of them was an Innate Realm expert.
However, they were still no match for Gong Liangbu.
Gong Liangbu was already a Post-Innate Realm expert.
And he would soon break through to the Guiyuan Realm.
"Let me handle this."
Gong Liangbu stepped forward.
"Gong Martial Physician, are you sure you want to do this?"
"If you offend our Luo Family, you could be expelled from the Martial Medicine Association," a Luo Family bodyguard said in a low voice.
"So be it. Saving Elder Luo’s life is what’s most important."
"Everything else can wait," Gong Liangbu said.
"Nonsense! Elder Luo is perfectly fine."
Just then, a cold shout came from inside the gate.
A tall man in casual clothes walked straight out.
"Captain Leng, you’re here."
"They’re insisting on forcing their way in."
"And they’re saying Elder Luo is beyond saving."
The two bodyguards at the gate quickly complained.
"You don’t understand. The air is saturated with an aura of death. Elder Luo’s time is up. If we don’t use special methods..."
"Elder Luo really will die," Chen Qingdi said.
"Stop spouting nonsense here. In any case, none of you are coming in today."
"Leave now, and I’ll pretend this never happened."
"If you still refuse to leave, then don’t blame me for what happens next," Captain Leng said icily.
"Gong Liangbu, do it."
"To save Elder Luo, this is our only choice," Chen Qingdi said.
"Yes."
Gong Liangbu nodded lightly.
"A member of the Martial Medicine Association, taking orders from a mere boy."
"And who are you?"
Captain Leng looked coldly at Chen Qingdi.
"I’m a newcomer. Chen Qingdi."
Chen Qingdi gave a simple introduction.
"Never heard of you."
Captain Leng said, shaking his head.
"Like I said, I’m a newcomer. I just arrived in Jingxi not long ago," Chen Qingdi said.
"You’re this arrogant right after arriving in Jingxi, even wanting to force your way into the Luo Family’s home," Captain Leng said coldly.
"I’m not forcing my way in. I told you, I’m here to save a life."
"Desperate times, desperate measures. If you won’t let us pass, we’re going to charge in," Chen Qingdi said.
Elder Luo’s illness could not be delayed any longer, and Chen Qingdi felt that there was something more complicated at play.
Although a dense aura of death filled the air, he could tell it had been artificially created—someone was trying to harm Elder Luo.
The Luo Family was at the apex of the second-tier clans in Jingxi.
Over the years, the Luo Family had made many enemies, but for someone to be able to harm Elder Luo inside Luofu, it had to be a trusted person by his side.
In short, the matter had to be resolved immediately, which was why Chen Qingdi was so anxious to get inside.
But Captain Leng was blocking their path.
And he showed no intention of letting them in.
For a moment, the tension between the two sides was palpable, as if a major fight was about to break out.
If things were allowed to continue like this, the situation would likely spiral out of control.
"What’s this, President Mu? Did you bring these people here to crash the Luo Family’s party?"
Captain Leng looked at Mu Xinlei.
Mu Xinlei quickly shook his head.
"We would never dare think of such a thing."
"This Mr. Chen is a Divine Physician with extraordinary medical skills."
"We came here to save your Elder Luo," Mu Xinlei said with a sincere expression.
But Captain Leng didn’t believe him at all.
Captain Leng’s gaze was frigid.
"Now, get out of here. Immediately."
"Otherwise, I will consider using force to throw you out," Captain Leng said coldly.
"Is there no room for discussion?"
Mu Xinlei was also starting to get annoyed.
"No discussion."
"This is Luo Family territory."
"I’m in charge of security here."
"It doesn’t matter if you’re from the Mu Family. Even if you were from Kyoto, I’d still dare to take you on," Captain Leng said with a cold expression.
With things having reached this point, even the good-tempered Mu Xinlei was losing his patience.
"We rushed all the way here to save Elder Luo."
"Only to be obstructed at every turn."
"My Mu Family and the Luo Family have been friends for generations."
"Is this how you handle things?"
"Go and announce that Mu Xinlei wishes to see Elder Luo," Mu Xinlei said, staring at Captain Leng.
Captain Leng’s full name was Leng Rushan. He was an incredibly arrogant man, though Mu Xinlei usually had no dealings with him.
Seeing the gate right in front of them yet being unable to enter, how could Mu Xinlei not be anxious?
"What’s with all the chatter?"
"Just let me make a move," Gong Liangbu said.
"Alright, all of you stand back. I’m going to see just how tough this Captain Leng really is."
Gong Liangbu glanced at Mu Xinlei.
Mu Xinlei then looked toward Chen Qingdi.
Chen Qingdi backed away, and Mu Xinlei followed suit.
Since the other party was being so disrespectful, Chen Qingdi and his group saw no reason to be polite either. They were here to save a life, after all. In such a critical situation, Chen Qingdi believed the Luo Family would not blame them later for forcing their way in.
Gong Liangbu stared coldly at Leng Rushan.
Leng Rushan’s gaze was just as frigid.
"Gong Liangbu, you’re going to make a move on me?"
"Be careful, you might get expelled from the Martial Medicine Association," Leng Rushan said coldly.
"Hmph. I already told you, I’m not afraid of being expelled," Gong Liangbu said.
"Then don’t blame me for getting rough," Leng Rushan said.
"Make your move," Gong Liangbu said.
Leng Rushan’s figure blurred as he threw a punch straight at Gong Liangbu.
The attack was full of momentum and immense power.
But Gong Liangbu easily neutralized the move.
Gong Liangbu’s performance was far beyond Leng Rushan’s expectations.
