But Chen Qingdi still didn’t quite understand.

"After all, in retaliation for his son’s murder, the Governor has already purged the remnants of the Evil God Hall,"

Wu Jinfeng said.

"You’re that certain,"

Chen Qingdi said.

"I can’t be certain, but I’ve never encountered anyone from the Evil God Hall."

"And around here, it’s best you don’t say those three words either."

"If you’re not careful, you’ll be arrested by the Spirit Police Department,"

Wu Jinfeng said.

"Alright, I understand."

Chen Qingdi smiled and nodded.

Next, Chen Qingdi asked Wu Jinfeng several more questions.

He now had a general understanding of Jingxi.

It turned out that Jingxi had four great Ancient Martial Clans: the Wu Family, the Duan Family, the Dongfang Family, and the Shui Family.

There were also four great Gao Wu Clans, whose status was slightly lower than the Ancient Martial Families.

The four great Gao Wu Clans were the Yun Family, the Wen Family, the Luo Family, and the Xi Family.

In addition, there were all sorts of other families.

Chen Qingdi couldn’t possibly memorize all this information at once.

And the Ancient Martial Clans could be considered first-rate families in Jingxi City.

However, among the Four Ancient Martial Families, the Wu Family did not hold the highest status.

This was because some of the Wu Family’s most important Martial Records had been stolen generations ago.

As a result, the Martial Records the Wu Family currently studied were inferior to those of the other Ancient Martial Families.

But even so, the Wu Family’s strength was not to be underestimated.

They still had two powerful experts at the Grandmaster Realm.

Such strength was already considered top-tier in Jingxi.

However, the Wu Family’s two Grandmaster Powers had only just broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.

They chatted about all sorts of things along the way, and in less than an hour, the car came to a stop.

"We’re here, Mr. Chen. We can get out,"

Wu Jinfeng said with a smile.

"Alright."

Chen Qingdi nodded.

Just as he said that, the door was pulled open.

Two members of the Wu Family announced, "Elder Wu is getting out."

Elder Wu nodded at them and stepped out of the car.

After Elder Wu got out, Chen Qingdi followed.

"Chen, just follow behind me,"

Wu Jinfeng said to Chen Qingdi with a smile.

"Okay."

Chen Qingdi nodded.

Upon entering the Wu Family estate, one could see pavilions, terraces, and towers everywhere, the epitome of a great family’s grandeur.

Ding Luo and Ning Li were carried into a large room.

Seeing the two so heavily injured, Wu Qiang’s gaze turned ice-cold.

"Father, who was it?"

"Who would dare beat your two attendants into this state?"

Wu Qiang said, his face filled with anger.

"If I find out who it was, I’ll destroy them,"

Wu Qiang declared.

"It’s hard to say who they were. We haven’t figured out their identities yet."

"But they were extremely powerful."

"And they seemed to know our Wu Family’s travel route very well,"

Wu Jinfeng said, his brow furrowed.

"And this Mr. Chen, what a coincidence that he just happened to be passing by when you were attacked."

Wu Qiang looked at Chen Qingdi with suspicion.

Surprisingly, when Wu Jinfeng heard Wu Qiang say this, he didn’t speak up for Chen Qingdi.

’It seems Wu Jinfeng didn’t bring me here just to save Ding Luo and Ning Li,’ Chen Qingdi thought. ’He also suspects I was behind all this.’

"Yes, I was just passing by,"

Chen Qingdi said.

"Mr. Chen, based on your accent, you don’t seem to be a local. May I ask where you live?"

Wu Qiang asked, looking at Chen Qingdi with a smile.

"What, are you interrogating me?"

"If that’s the case, I’ll be leaving."

After saying this, Chen Qingdi turned to leave.

Seeing Chen Qingdi’s strong reaction, Wu Jinfeng quickly interjected with a laugh, "Chen, my apologies. My son doesn’t know how to talk."

"Didn’t I already tell you? Chen Qingdi is my lifesaver."

"Do not speak to him in such a tone. Do you understand?"

"Otherwise, I won’t let you off easy,"

Wu Jinfeng said coldly.

"Yes."

Wu Qiang could only nod.

"Elder Wu, it seems you still don’t trust me."

"If I were in league with Zhao Quanzhang and his men,"

"I wouldn’t have spared you."

"Why would I have severely injured Zhao Quanzhang, taken the Yixing Pearl from his hand, and given it to you?"

Chen Qingdi said, looking at Wu Jinfeng with a smile.

"Chen, you misunderstand. I don’t doubt you, really."

"It’s my son who is too sensitive. To be honest with you, this is the third assassination attempt I’ve faced this month,"

Wu Jinfeng said with a look of resignation.

"Although the family has increased my protection, my own Martial Arts are extremely poor. I only survived today thanks to you, Chen,"

Wu Jinfeng said with a grateful expression.

"Then let’s dispense with the pleasantries. Saving them is what’s important."

"Ding Luo and Ning Li are gravely injured,"

Chen Qingdi said.

Just as Chen Qingdi was about to act, a burst of footsteps was suddenly heard from outside.

"Young Master, Martial Physician Gong Liangbu has arrived."

"He is one of the most famous Martial Physicians in Jingxi City."

"On the Jingxi Martial Physician rankings, he’s ranked tenth. His medical skills are said to be unrivaled,"

a Wu Family servant ran up to Wu Qiang and said.

Just as the servant finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe strode in.

"Let me see, who got hurt today?"

The man spoke as he walked up to Wu Qiang, clasping his hands in a salute.

Then he went to Elder Wu and saluted him in the same way.

"Young Master Wu, Elder Wu, you’re both here."

"It’s Ding and Ning who are injured."

"Oh my, their injuries are quite severe."

After a brief look, Gong Liangbu’s gaze narrowed into a line.

This Gong Wuyi was spherical in build, had a few whiskers on his face, and his eyes held a naturally fierce look.

Martial Physicians were somewhat different from traditional doctors.

A Martial Physician’s main role was to treat the ailments of Martial Artists.

Martial Artists naturally have stronger constitutions than ordinary people. A damaged Dantian or obstructed meridians—these were things a regular doctor couldn’t treat.

But a Martial Physician could. Moreover, most Martial Physicians were Martial Artists themselves.

After all, they sometimes needed to use their own Power to clear a patient’s meridians.

This Martial Physician, Gong Liangbu, had quite a reputation in the area.

Since he had arrived, Chen Qingdi didn’t act immediately. ’I’d like to see how skilled this Gong Liangbu is,’ he thought, ’and whether he can actually treat Ding Luo and Ning Li’s injuries.’

However, Ding Luo and Ning Li’s injuries needed immediate attention. Their auras were growing weaker and weaker; they were too severely wounded.

If not for the sliver of Spiritual Energy Chen Qingdi had secretly infused into their bodies when he first saved them, they would likely already be dead.
