Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1967: Kindness to Others Is Cruelty to Yourself!
Han Junfeng possessed a cultivation level of the seventh tier of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the handsome man in white also had the same cultivation level. Both sides were equally matched in strength, so theoretically, it would be difficult for either to humiliate the other.
Yet the reality was that the strike from the handsome man in white not only landed solidly on Han Junfeng’s face but did so with such ease—it was truly unfathomable.
To the passersby on the street, it seemed that Han Junfeng and the handsome man in white were not even in the same realm.
Han Junfeng struggled to get up, clothes disheveled, hair in disorder, gaze somewhat vacant, with traces of blood at her lips and nose, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Well done, Brother Fang Bai!"
Beside him, Xiao Ying clapped her hands, extremely excited.
"You... you..."
Han Junfeng looked at Fang Bai with fear on her face, wanting to say something harsh, but facing Fang Bai’s indifferent gaze, she felt a chill throughout her body and, despite trying for a long time, couldn’t say anything.
Fang Bai paid no attention to Han Junfeng; his focus shifted back to Liu Qingqing.
The woman in his arms was delicate and soft, as if boneless, exuding a faint fragrance from her hair, sobbing softly in his embrace, evoking an involuntary sense of pity.
"Alright, stop crying! Miss Liu, tell me what happened!"
Fang Bai lightly patted Liu Qingqing’s fragrant shoulder, speaking softly.
Fang Bai still remembered that previously, some disciples of the Green Bamboo Sect had inquired about Liu Qingqing’s situation and had heard that she seemed to be doing fine.
Fang Bai had originally planned to look for Liu Qingqing after returning to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace and hadn’t expected to meet her here, much less see her suffering such injustice.
Fang Bai really wanted to kill that fat woman named Han Junfeng, but without understanding the context and details, he wouldn’t act rashly.
Liu Qingqing cried for a while, eventually regaining her composure, only then realizing that she was hugging Fang Bai tightly on the street, causing her pretty face to flush with embarrassment, her fair and slender pink neck turning completely red.
Yet she was reluctant to leave Fang Bai’s embrace; his broad, solid chest and strong, powerful heartbeat made her feel warm, safe, and secure.
She also knew that her rushing into Fang Bai’s arms was entirely an unconscious act, and she feared that such a chance might not come again in the future.
Since so, why not linger a while longer in this embrace, leaving behind a beautiful, sweet memory?
She blushed, lowered her head into Fang Bai’s chest, and softly recounted the series of events: how she was saved by Steward of Frost Tower, Liu Qianren, after encountering danger; became his adopted daughter, and joined Frost Tower, among other things.
"Brother Fang, my adoptive father has treated me well. It’s just that... just that my adoptive mother has some misunderstandings about me, which led to what you saw happen earlier. Please don’t hold it against her..."
Liu Qingqing said this, extracting herself from Fang Bai’s embrace, and pleaded softly on behalf of Han Junfeng.
"Miss Liu, sometimes being kind to others is being cruel to yourself!"
Fang Bai said, walking past Liu Qingqing to stand before Han Junfeng, his face like cold frost, saying coldly, "In consideration of Miss Liu, I’ll spare you today! From now on, Miss Liu is no longer a part of your Frost Tower and has no further ties with you and your husband!"
Han Junfeng harbored intense hatred toward Fang Bai, but knowing this person was much stronger than herself, she couldn’t dare to speak in defiance.
She was eager to sever ties with Liu Qingqing to prevent her from seducing her husband and son, so upon hearing Fang Bai’s final words, she felt secretly pleased.
However, Liu Qingqing was their adopted daughter and a disciple of Frost Tower, and one highly regarded by the Tower. If Fang Bai tried to forcibly take her away, it would definitely provoke fierce opposition from Frost Tower.
Han Junfeng hoped to use Frost Tower’s strength to have Fang Bai killed, thus avenging the recent slap.
"In the Heaven’s Net Realm of the Western Desolate Continent, I have established a sect. Your grandfather, parents, and younger brother, as well as many powerful individuals from the secular world and minor worlds, are there! Would you like to come with us?"
Fang Bai said to Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing heard this and felt a mixture of surprise and joy.
Now that she knew where her family was, and since Fang Bai was the man she liked, how could she bear to stay at Frost Tower any longer? Thus, when Fang Bai asked, she immediately agreed.
The reason she had stayed at Frost Tower previously was mainly to repay her adoptive father, Liu Qianren, not because of any affection for Frost Tower itself, so even if she left Frost Tower, she wouldn’t feel any lingering attachment.
"Brother Fang, I will go with you. But... I wish to see my adoptive father and say goodbye to him before leaving. After all, he did save my life..."
Liu Qingqing said softly.
Although Han Junfeng was harsh to her and filled with malice, Liu Qianren had always treated her well. Only, Liu Qianren was hen-pecked by his wife and felt powerless regarding Liu Qingqing’s grievances.
This time, regardless of how Han Junfeng chased and threatened to scar Liu Qingqing, Liu Qianren was unaware; otherwise, another fierce argument would likely have erupted between the couple.
Liu Qingqing could have quietly left with Fang Bai, but remembering the kindness Liu Qianren had shown her, she felt it improper to leave without saying goodbye, so she planned to take her leave and thank him for his care over the years.
Fang Bai nodded and said, "We cultivators act with a clear conscience. Since your adoptive father treated you well, it is only right that you repay him. Let’s go; we’ll accompany you! Once we find Yaorao in the Land of Extreme North, we will return to the Western Desolate Continent together!"
Liu Qingqing was curious and asked, "Sister Yaorao? Isn’t she with you?"
Fang Bai shook his head and said, "No. I only recently heard news of her. I came to the Land of Extreme North to find her, but unexpectedly encountered you..."
Fang Bai recounted his journeys over the years through the three thousand large worlds, searching for friends and allies, disciples, and loved ones, leaving Liu Qingqing sighing and marveling at his tales.
She had thought that Qin Yaorao and other women had been with Fang Bai all these years, but unexpectedly, they were separated from him just like she was, only recently reuniting.
Fang Bai concluded, "Now everyone is gathered at the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, studying and cultivating. The only ones missing are you and Yaorao. Oh, by the way, this young lady, Xiao Ying, is Yaorao’s junior sister."
He introduced Xiao Ying and Liu Qingqing to each other.
Liu Qingqing found Xiao Ying a bit cold toward her, seemingly with a hint of hostility. Initially, she felt puzzled, but upon further thought, she came to understand and thought, "Could it be that Miss Xiao Ying also likes Brother Fang and sees me as a rival in love? Alas, it’s all because Brother Fang is too excellent, attracting many admirers!"
She proactively spoke to Xiao Ying, her voice soft, her smile gentle, trying to dispel the young girl’s hostility toward her.
