Medical and Martial God

Long Xiaoyun, Xu Zengshan, and Du Long looked at each other, their foreheads beading with cold sweat despite Ye Xiu’s casual tone.

"Ye Liangchen is courageous and resourceful. On top of that, he possesses advanced Medical Skills, formidable strength, and an extraordinary talent. With a little nurturing, such a person could one day make the whole world tremble with a single stomp of his foot," Long Xiaoyun said.

Xu Zengshan and Du Long nodded in agreement. The three of them appreciated Ye Liangchen even more now and grew even more eager to bring him under their command.

"I suggest we let Ye Liangchen join our decision-making circle for the operation against Ye Xiu," Du Long proposed.

"Ye Xiu is meticulous and exceptionally strategic, skills we happen to lack. Adding Ye Liangchen, who is an expert strategist, to our decision-making circle will greatly increase our chances of eliminating Ye Xiu," Xu Zengshan stated.

"I agree! Let’s bring Ye Liangchen into the decision-making circle!" Long Xiaoyun declared.

Ye Xiu was trying to figure out where to find something to eat when he suddenly received an invitation to join a group chat.

The Kill Ye Xiu Decision-Making Group?

He promptly accepted the invitation and saw that there were only nine people in the group. Including him, that made ten.

So these nine must be the experts from the Guoyang Long Family, the Xu Family, and Fire Seed Company who have surpassed the rank of War God.

Ye Xiu chuckled coldly. His effortless takedown of Dong Tianming and the Brotherhood Alliance’s elite was a calculated move, intended to show Xu Zengshan, Long Xiaoyun, and Du Long that "Ye Liangchen" was a master strategist.

Sure enough, the trio took the bait and invited him into their core strategy group.

Just then, Long Xiaoyun typed in the chat, "Welcome, Ye Liangchen, to the decision-making circle."

"Welcome!"

"Welcome, Ye Liangchen."

"Ye Liangchen is a true talent, killing Dong Tianming so easily."

"With Dong Tianming dead and the Brotherhood Alliance’s elite wiped out, the alliance is finished. It will surely crumble and become insignificant."

The members of the decision-making circle all welcomed "Ye Liangchen," expressing their admiration.

Ye Xiu snorted. Inviting an enemy into their secret group chat and celebrating like this... What a bunch of morons.

Xu Zengshan typed, "Ye Liangchen, I want you to think about something. Four days ago, Ye Xiu announced he was going to Guoyang, but he still hasn’t shown up. What’s your analysis? What is he planning?"

I’m right here in Han Jin City with all of you, you clowns... Ye Xiu thought, then typed his reply:

"Ye Xiu is staying hidden to put psychological pressure on us."

Xu Zengshan: "That makes sense."

Long Xiaoyun: "Ye Xiu’s method of revenge is simple: he torments his old enemies. Psychological torture is part of his payback."

Du Long: "Spoken like the true vice-chairman of Fire Seed Company. You’ve perfectly described Ye Xiu’s mindset."

A man named Xu Yihuo, who was Xu Zengshan’s son, then asked, "Ye Liangchen, we’re being too passive. How should we counterattack?"

Long Xiaoyun: "Right now, we’re exposed while Ye Xiu is in the shadows. This is very unfavorable for us."

Xu Zengshan: "We have to force him out into the open."

Watching the group chat light up, Ye Xiu plotted his next move to entrap these idiots. After some thought, he typed, "If Ye Xiu went to Guoyang, his home base must be empty. We should send people to Jin Ye City to capture his wife."

The chat went silent for a few seconds, then exploded with messages.

"Brilliant strategy!"

"How did I not think of that?"

"We don’t need to face Ye Xiu directly at all! By capturing his wife, we can force him to surrender."

"Ye Liangchen, your plan is ingenious!"

Du Long: "Ye Liangchen, give the order. The 1,285 test subjects from Fire Seed Company are all yours to command."

Long Xiaoyun: "The members of the Guoyang Long Family are also at your disposal."

Xu Zengshan: "The Xu Family will follow your orders as well."

Ye Xiu stared at his phone and laughed silently. These idiots are handing me command of all their experts’ lives on a silver platter.

He typed, "Fire Seed Company’s test subjects are mostly foreigners, so they’re too conspicuous. For a sneak attack on Ye Xiu’s lair, it’s better to use people from the Xu and Long Families."

"Agreed!"

"You call the shots!"

"No need to consult us, just give the order!"

The nine leaders in the group now placed immense trust in Ye Liangchen and his strategic abilities.

Ye Xiu typed, "We don’t know the true situation at Ye Xiu’s home, so to guarantee success, we must deploy overwhelming force!"

Long Xiaoyun replied, "That makes sense. If we send a large number of our experts to attack all at once, it won’t matter even if Ye Xiu has arranged for powerful bodyguards for his wife."

Xu Zengshan added, "We only get one shot at attacking his lair. It has to succeed."

Ye Xiu typed, "In that case, everyone from the Xu and Long Families at the level of Eighth Grade Grandmaster and above—excluding those of us in this chat—will mobilize. They will head to Jin Ye City tonight and catch his wife completely by surprise."

Xu Zengshan: "Good. I’ll issue the order to the Xu Family experts right now."

Long Xiaoyun remarked, "With so many people moving together, we’ll need a commander. Otherwise, they’ll just be fighting on their own once they reach Jin Ye City."

Ye Xiu typed, "Let Long Wu command them."

"Alright!"

"It’s settled then!"

Instantly, all the Eighth Grade Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, and War Gods from the Guoyang Long Family and the Xu Family received their orders almost simultaneously. They rushed to their respective airports to charter flights to Jin Ye City.

The flight from Han Jin City to Jin Ye City took only an hour and twenty minutes, while the one from Guoyang was about two hours. After factoring in travel to the airports, the plane chartering process, and the drive from the Jin Ye City airport to Tu Mountain Manor, it was still before midnight when Long Wu had her forces in position. The elites from the Xu and Guoyang Long Families had already split into smaller groups and were concealed around the manor.

Long Wu was very cautious. She first sent a scout into Tu Mountain Manor to observe the island where Ye Xiu’s home was from a distance. The scout reported seeing Qin Qing and a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes practicing with swords, with no one else on the island. Only then did Long Wu send a message to her assault team:

"Listen up! Charge Ye Xiu’s home at full speed! Capture Qin Qing alive. Everyone else... Sha Wushe!"

Upon receiving the message, the two hundred-plus experts lurking around Tu Mountain Manor charged onto the property, quickly swarming the island where Ye Xiu’s home was located.

At that moment, Qin Qing and Chloe were in the middle of their sword practice. They were startled to see hundreds of people rushing toward them and froze when they recognized Long Wu at the head of the group.

"Dragon Hollyhock?" Qin Qing exclaimed in shock. It was like seeing a ghost in the middle of the night.

"I’m Dragon Hollyhock’s twin sister. My name is Long Wu." Long Wu looked Qin Qing up and down, feeling an inexplicable surge of irritation. Qin Qing was simply too beautiful; standing before her, Long Wu felt like a plain country girl. She asked, "So you’re Ye Xiu’s wife, Qin Qing?"

"I am," Qin Qing nodded.

"Good. Originally, my plan was just to capture you and take you to Han Jin City to force Ye Xiu’s surrender. But now... I’ve changed my mind."

Jealousy filled Long Wu’s beautiful eyes. She turned to the two hundred-plus experts from the Long and Xu Families behind her and asked, "Who wants to make a cuckold out of Ye Xiu? Raise your hands!"

"Me, me, me...!"

"I’ll do it! I’ll do it!"
