The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 678: Pride Goes Before a Fall

In the presence of about twenty disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect, and as Elder Qian Wankai was lost in his wild speculations, a smile crept over Tang Bosheng’s face. He took step by step until he was standing in front of Ye Chenfeng and showed an apologetic expression, bowing respectfully to Ye Chenfeng, he said, "Sir, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting."

Following close behind Tang Bosheng, Hua Wentong and Luo Nanchen, who had been briefed about Ye Chenfeng’s matters in advance, therefore, they did not react with surprise to Ye Chenfeng’s youth.

With respect, Hua Wentong said to Ye Chenfeng, "Sir, we are responsible for inviting you to meet with the Sect Leader."

Similarly, Luo Nanchen also bowed respectfully toward Ye Chenfeng, "I’ve heard of the Sir’s exceptional medical skills; I hope you can offer me some guidance in the future."

The disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect and Elder Qian Wankai, who saw that the three revered elders of their sect not only did not berate Ye Chenfeng, but addressed him with sir here and sir there, treating Ye Chenfeng’s as if he were a senior, left them utterly confused about what exactly was going on?

The left side of Qian Wankai’s face twitched uncontrollably, and his eyes nearly bulged out. The speech he had prepared in his heart was thrown to the back of his mind in an instant, and he began to have a very bad premonition.

The other disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect who had been clamoring just moments ago were petrified in an instant, even holding their breath involuntarily, their eyes wide with shock.

Ye Chenfeng sat on a wooden plank with no intention of speaking, but it was Sun Hengfei who spoke up first, "Grandpa Tang, I’m afraid Chenfeng won’t be able to meet with your Sect Leader. There are people here who want to hold Chenfeng accountable for a crime!"

Since Tang Bosheng and Sun Hengfei’s grandfather, Sun Yang’an, were of the same generation, he always referred to Tang Bosheng as Grandpa Tang.

Upon hearing Sun Hengfei’s words, the three old men of the Ghost Doctor Sect immediately felt that something was awry and turned their gazes to the disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect behind them. They had not been paying attention earlier, but now noticing the caved-in side of Qian Wankai’s face, their expressions grew even darker, knowing the disciples must have had a conflict with Ye Chenfeng.

"What exactly happened here? Can someone step forward and explain this to me?" Tang Bosheng asked angrily with a stern face.

The disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect shivered, as it was clear to anyone with eyes that Ye Chenfeng held a very important place in the hearts of the three saints of the Ghost Doctor Sect, yet they had been speaking rudely to him time and again. Ye Chenfeng was someone even the three saints had to respectfully address as ’Sir’! These were not people they, mere regular disciples, could afford to offend, were they?

Thus, the disciples’ gazes drifted, intentionally or otherwise, toward Elder Qian Wankai, hoping he could resolve the troublesome situation at hand.

Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Qian Wankai knew he had to take control of the situation, so he began, "Elder Tang, there seems to have been a small misunderstanding just now. May I ask who this gentleman is?" Qian Wankai needed to ascertain Ye Chenfeng’s identity before he could figure out what kind of excuse to fabricate.

Seeing that Qian Wankai did not report on the events that had just unfolded and instead appeared unflustered, Tang Bosheng wished he could slap Qian Wankai to death, snapping sharply, "Qian Wankai, don’t think that just because you have been promoted to elder, you can be presumptuous in front of us. Did you not understand my question just now?"

"Since you all want to know the identity of this gentleman, I might as well tell you, as it will soon be no secret anyway." Tang Bosheng glared at Qian Wankai with furious, wide eyes and continued, "This gentleman has mastered the Ghost King Thirteen Needles. He is an esteemed guest of our Ghost Doctor Sect and may even become the Sect Leader of our sect in the future. Now, who will explain what happened here?"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tang Bosheng’s words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating giant ripples one after another. The heads of the disciples and Elder Qian Wankai of the Ghost Doctor Sect felt like they were about to explode. They had not expected that what Sun Hengfei said was true? That this young man had truly mastered the Ghost King Thirteen Needles?

The strength within Qian Wankai’s body was instantly drained away. Understanding the Ghost King Thirteen Needles meant that from now on, everyone in the Ghost Doctor Sect would have to follow Ye Chenfeng’s orders, yet moments ago he had foolishly tried to seize Ye Chenfeng’s needle technique? He must have grown too comfortable in his position as an elder.

Qian Wankai’s body trembled incessantly as he fell back and sat on the ground. When he looked at Ye Chenfeng, who was sitting calmly on the wooden plank, his eyes were filled with terror and reluctance.

Seeing his own master, Qian Wankai, in such a deplorable state sitting on the ground, Zhou Haosheng remembered how he had humiliated and mocked Ye Chenfeng earlier, leveraging his status as the master’s disciple. His heart was entirely enveloped by fear and, feeling warmth in his nether regions, a puddle of urine flowed straight out from his crotch.

The rest of the more than twenty disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect were similarly trembling in fear because they had all mocked Ye Chenfeng. Now, seeing the attitude of the Ghost Doctor Tri-Saints and knowing that Ye Chenfeng was the one who had comprehended the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, they all didn’t know what kind of consequences awaited them?

Seeing that the disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect and elder Qian Wankai had nothing more to explain, the expressions on the faces of the Ghost Doctor Tri-Saints turned exceedingly grim. Fortunately, Sun Hengfei stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Tang, let me tell you what happened just now! The whole incident went like this..."

After hearing that Qian Wankai and the others had made a bet with Ye Chenfeng, shamelessly reneged after losing and that Qian Wankai even coveted Ye Chenfeng’s needle technique in the end, the Tri-Saints saw it as the act of a scoundrel. How could an elder of the noble Ghost Doctor Sect be such a disgrace? Wasn’t this a loss of face for the entire Ghost Doctor Sect?

Besides, this time Qian Wankai and the twenty-something disciples of Ghost Doctor Sect had offended Ye Chenfeng who, in the eyes of the Ghost Doctor Tri-Saints, was already equivalent to the future Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect.

As such, the three old men did their best to quell their inner rage, then, simultaneously, they bowed deeply to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Mr. Ye, it is due to our Ghost Doctor Sect’s lack of discipline that these scoundrels emerged within our ranks. We will definitely give you a satisfactory resolution to this matter today."

Turning their gaze back to Qian Wankai and the others, disciple Zhou Haosheng was the first to kneel before Ye Chenfeng. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" He kept kowtowing to Ye Chenfeng, saying repeatedly, "Please spare me this time! Please spare me this time!"

Zhou Haosheng seemed to have forgotten just how haughty he had been earlier.

After Zhou Haosheng knelt and kowtowed, the other twenty-something disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect also knelt and kowtowed. At this moment, they didn’t care about dignity anymore; all that mattered was Ye Chenfeng’s forgiveness.

Sitting on the ground in a daze, Qian Wankai watched his disciple and many other disciples kowtow to Ye Chenfeng. Gritting his teeth, he had thought that upon taking the position of an elder, he could become even more imposing. But before he had warmed his seat as an elder for long, he was not only mercilessly slapped away but now also had to kneel and apologize to someone else?

However, reality was reality! It could only be blamed on Qian Wankai being too arrogant.

Qian Wankai got up from the ground, and with reluctance in his heart, he knelt before Ye Chenfeng and said, "I beg for your forgiveness this one time, sir."

"How you, the Ghost Doctor Sect, deal with your affairs is not for me, an outsider, to decide. How the Ghost Doctor Sect chooses to handle you is none of my business," said Ye Chenfeng, who was sitting leisurely on the wooden plank, with a casual shrug of his shoulders, his playful gaze turned toward the Ghost Doctor Tri-Saints, waiting for the old men to make their decision.

The Ghost Doctor Tri-Saints looked at one another, nodded in agreement, then unhesitatingly took action. They wasted no time in neutralizing the True Energy Force within both Qian Wankai and the present disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect.

Instantly, the garden was filled with screams as Qian Wankai and the twenty-something disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect were rendered completely powerless.

This prompted a satisfied nod from Ye Chenfeng, who was sitting at ease on the wooden plank. He was quite pleased with the Ghost Doctor Tri-Saint’s decisive and swift style of handling matters.
