The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 673: Arrival at the Ghost Doctor Sect
Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Arrival at the Ghost Doctor Sect
The next day.
As the east slowly brightened with the rising sun, the darkness that had shrouded the land for a night was thoroughly broken.
Ye Chenfeng breathed in the chilly morning air as he practiced a vigorous set of boxing techniques on the vast Training Ground at the Sect.
Last night, Ye Chenfeng had lain in bed contemplating the black mass of energy within his Dantian, but no matter how much he studied, he couldn’t uncover its nature. In the end, he concluded that the only time this black energy stirred was when he used the Ghost King Thirteen Needles. It seemed that this black mass had no impact on his body.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes watched the light slowly rise in the east. After his visit to the Ghost Doctor Sect, when it came time to accompany Qin Yi to Guiyuan Sect in half a month, it would likely be his first battle in the Ancient Martial World. He wasn’t in a hurry to have the members of the Wing Guard Team enter the Ancient Martial World just yet. The Wing Guard Team was a trump card to be played only in the most critical moments, as an unexpected strike against the enemy.
"Chenfeng, you’re up so early? Did you get used to staying at the Sect last night?" Sun Hengfei sauntered over to Ye Chenfeng, slinging an arm around his shoulder in a brotherly manner. He now truly saw Ye Chenfeng as a brother, hence his casual behavior.
"The air in the Ancient Martial World is much fresher than in the Secular World," Ye Chenfeng replied with a casual laugh.
Sun Hengfei’s eyes suddenly took on a sly look. He sidled closer to Ye Chenfeng and asked, "Chenfeng, I’ve never left the Ancient Martial World for as long as I’ve lived. I’ve heard the Secular World is far more exciting than here, and that there are even more beauties. You must take me out there to see it all sometime."
"No problem. Once I’ve finished my business in the Ancient Martial World, I’ll take you and Xiaoli to play in the Secular World for a while," Ye Chenfeng promised readily.
"Xiaoli, did you hear that? Chenfeng said that once the affairs of the Ancient Martial World are settled, he’s going to take us out to the Secular World for a visit. You’ve always wanted to go too, right? Grandfather and Great-Grandfather have always been against it, but with Chenfeng’s word, they probably won’t have any objections when the time comes," Sun Hengfei enthusiastically informed Sun Xiaoli, who was walking over at that moment.
Sun Xiaoli, with her typically icy demeanor, glared at Sun Hengfei and said, "Heng Fei, can you ever be serious for once? You’re like a child that never grew up. Will any woman ever like you?"
Sun Hengfei had the look of someone who couldn’t care less, casually saying, "Xiaoli, I used to be the ideal man in the hearts of many female disciples in our Sect. Unfortunately, ever since last night when Chenfeng showed up, they’ve all gone crazy over him. I bet they all lost sleep last night because of Chenfeng."
"Do you think women are blind? Compared to Chenfeng, you’re not even on the same level," Sun Xiaoli retorted, her tone slightly unnatural—this was the first time she had referred to Ye Chenfeng by his given name.
"Boss, I’ll go with you to the Ghost Doctor Sect today. I’m your follower. Wherever you go, I’ll go," said Qin Yi as he walked out of the Sect, yawning. Time and again, he had felt Ye Chenfeng’s genuine brotherly affection. He increasingly believed that being Ye Chenfeng’s follower was an incredibly fortunate thing; if Ye Chenfeng asked him to die for him in the future, he would not hesitate or frown even for a moment.
Hearing Qin Yi volunteer to accompany him to the Ghost Doctor Sect, Sun Hengfei immediately said, "Chenfeng, I’ll come with you too. It’s been a long time since I visited the Ghost Doctor Sect myself."
"I’ll go too," Sun Xiaoli uttered coldly.
Ye Chenfeng was just planning a trip to the Ghost Doctor Sect to uncover the secrets of the Ghost King Thirteen Needles. Taking Qin Yi and the other two along was not a problem, so he casually responded, "I don’t mind." freēnovelkiss.com
After having breakfast at the Sect, Ye Chenfeng and the others were ready to set off with Tang Bosheng. Upon hearing that Sun Hengfei and Sun Xiaoli would accompany them, Sun Boyi instructed the two in a low voice, "Heng Fei, Xiaoli, you two better keep an eye on him. We can’t have Chenfeng joining the Ghost Doctor Sect!"
"Great-Grandfather, don’t worry. I’m not good at much, but when it comes to causing trouble, I’m the best," Sun Hengfei assured, thumping his chest.
"Great-Grandfather, Chenfeng belongs to our Sect, to our Suns," Sun Xiaoli said simply.
At the side, Sun Meiqin adjusted Ye Chenfeng’s clothes and said, "Chenfeng, once you’ve finished your business in the Ancient Martial World, mom wants to visit the Secular World again. Your grandfather and uncle will definitely be very happy to see me and your dad."
"Chenfeng, my boy, even though you really do have the skills now, I am still your father," Ye Donghua said, patting Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder before adding, "Chenfeng, this is something I’ve always wanted to tell you. You’ve finally made me proud, so get things sorted out in the Ancient Martial World quickly, then let’s go together and surprise your grandfather and uncle."
"Mom, Dad, you two don’t need to be like this, right? I’m just going to the Ghost Doctor Sect for a day or two. Alright, just wait for me at Zhen Tian Gate with peace of mind, I will definitely bring you back to the Secular World soon," said Ye Chenfeng with a smile before he boarded Tang Bosheng’s carriage along with Qin Yi and others.
The carriage of Tang Bosheng was much more exquisite than the last one Ye Chenfeng took; not only did it look substantial on the outside, but also the seating inside was much softer, which made the bumps along the way feel less uncomfortable.
It took about three hours to travel by carriage from the Zhen Tian Gate to the Ghost Doctor Sect.
During the journey, Ye Chenfeng learned a lot about the Ghost Doctor Sect from Tang Bosheng. The Ghost Doctor Sect was a first-class power with a total of forty Heaven Rank experts. However, the Ghost Doctor Sect held a very special position in the Ancient Martial World because what they were most skilled at was medical expertise. Who wouldn’t get sick once in their life? Thus, the Ghost Doctor Sect had very good relationships with many factions in the Ancient Martial World.
Three hours passed in a flash.
The carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain. After Ye Chenfeng stepped out of the carriage, he saw a series of stone steps leading up to the top. Looking up towards the summit, he could see an extremely ancient building, which must be the location of the Ghost Doctor Sect.
Tang Bosheng said apologetically to Ye Chenfeng, "Mister, the carriage can’t go up to the mountain top and can only stop here."
Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and replied, "It’s fine, I’m not some precious young master."
"Then Mister, let us proceed," said Tang Bosheng, making a polite gesture of invitation.
Ye Chenfeng led the way up the stairs, with Qin Yi, Sun Hengfei, and Sun Xiaoli following behind. In reality, it would take only about ten minutes to walk to the Ghost Doctor Sect from the bottom.
When they reached the mid-mountain, Ye Chenfeng saw not far away a medicinal garden where a group of people was gathering. He casually asked, "What are those people doing?"
"Mister, you might not be aware, but many towns around here send their incurably sick, or even those beyond help, to our Ghost Doctor Sect. Our sect, in turn, uses these people for medical practice. If we manage to cure the illness, we don’t charge a penny; if we fail, there’s nothing more we can do. This way, it’s a win-win situation. You see, the people sent here are basically those who have one foot on the Road to Netherworld already," Tang Bosheng explained to Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng seemed interested, Tang Bosheng asked, "Mister, would you like to go take a look? Anyway, I still need to go inform the Sect Leader. I’ll come back down to find you afterward."
Ye Chenfeng thought that since he had nothing to do at the Ghost Doctor Sect, he might as well observe their medical skills. So he replied, "Okay, then you can find us here later!"
"Mister, let me arrange a disciple for you, to follow your orders," Tang Bosheng offered.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t like the attention that would bring, "There’s no need for that, I’m just going to casually observe. You hurry up and inform your Sect Leader. We’ll wait for you here."
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng refused, Tang Bosheng didn’t insist, "That works too. Mister is a man of spontaneity. I’ll be back shortly." (To be continued.
