The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 66 Past

Ye Chen looked at the medal for a long time before finally returning it to Ye Lingtian. “You had this custom-made, right? Why did you put my face on it?”

Ye Lingtian shook his head like a rattle. He took a step forward and explained, “Hall Master, this is a misunderstanding. This thing has a history that dates back to a hundred years ago! How could it be custom-made? If you don’t believe me, you can get any expert appraiser to examine it!”

Ye Chen’s expression was solemn. Although he had mastered some spells that could peer into the heavenly secrets, it was theoretically impossible for him to see a hundred years into the past!

This was because there were too many variables present during a hundred-year period, so who could derive the situation from a hundred years ago?

In that case, the main question was, how did his likeness end up on this thing?

Perhaps the young man on the medal just happened to look similar to him…

“Where did you get this?” Ye Chen asked, still rather curious about the whole thing.

“Hall Master, this medal is an heirloom of my family, and the only thing my great-grandfather left for my family. In that era, his knowledge of Feng Shui was definitely the best.”

“Back then, he predicted that the clan would completely disappear after a hundred years. He used a secret technique to peer into the heavenly secrets and discovered that the only solution was to search for a person bearing the purple qi crouching dragon fate.”

“He used the remaining 20 years of his lifespan in exchange for this item, hoping that it would change the fortunes of the clan completely!”

“Moreover, my great-grandfather told his descendants that the person on the medal was also surnamed Ye and that we would meet him again in a hundred years! This opportunity is something that my generation must grasp firmly, or I, Ye Lingtian, will be branded as the sinner who destroyed my clan!”

“Hall Master, I didn’t choose you. It was this thing that chose you.”

Ye Chen shook his head. This was too far-fetched. What era was this even?

However, the old man had indeed mentioned that his fate was rather special; it was the purple qi crouching dragon. This was also an important reason why he had come to River City to look for Xia Ruoxue.

The purple qi crouching dragon fate could break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and change the fortune of others!

Ye Lingtian saw Ye Chen shaking his head and quickly continued, “Hall Master, I can help you deal with that person!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s expression changed instantly. He said coldly, “So, Lingtian, you’ve been investigating me?”

Ye Lingtian immediately knelt down. “I wouldn’t dare investigate you, Hall Master. I just heard some of the rumors and came to know about what happened to the Ye family in River City five years ago…”

11 Ye Chen waved his hand and refused, “I don’t want or need anyone to take revenge on my behalf. Also, if I ever find you meddling in my affairs, then I can only treat you as a stranger from that point on!”

“This subordinate would not dare to interfere.

Please calm your anger, Hall Master.”

Ye Lingtian’s expression changed drastically. He knew that he had overstepped his boundaries. There was a huge difference between taking revenge by one’s own hands and having someone else take revenge in one’s stead. Moreover, he could sense an extremely dangerous aura emanating from Ye Chen. This could only mean that the Hall Master was extremely powerful!

Given Ye Chen’s strength, what need was there for him to interfere?

He wanted to slap himself. This was a prime example of someone butting his head in where it did not belong.

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Lingtian. He decided not to pursue the matter. “It’s not impossible for me to be your Hall Master, but you have to agree to three conditions.”

“Understood!” Ye Lingtian was overjoyed. “Please speak, Hall Master!”

Ye Chen turned around and a magnetic voice resounded throughout the room.

“First, you should by no means interfere with my life. You are not to act without my orders regarding this matter.”

“Second, send someone to protect Sun Yi at all times. Make sure that anyone who dares to touch her bears the consequences.”

“Third, spare no effort in investigating the whereabouts of that man from the capital and continue to dig up any details regarding the incident at Cloud Lake Manor. This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.”

“Ye Lingtian, can you fulfill these three conditions?”

“Yes I can, Hall Master!” Ye Lingtian thumped his chest and responded affirmatively.

“Alright then.”

Ye Chen looked at the time. It was getting late, and Sun Yi was probably still waiting for him, so he said, “I’ve said all that I needed to say, so let’s call it a night. I’ll contact you if I need anything in the future.”

After saying that, Ye Chen prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Ye Lingtian remembered something and called out to Ye Chen, “Hall Master, please wait a moment!”

“Is there something else?” Ye Chen stopped in his tracks.

“Reporting to the Hall Master, a few forces seem to be investigating you recently. The first one is the Chu clan. They’ve retrieved surveillance data from around Sky Stone Mountain and checked through the files on the Cloud Lake Manor incident. However, I’ve used my power to seal off any information about you.”

“The second one is the Xia family. However, the Xia family’s investigation was not an in-depth one.”

“I can’t block the third force.”

Ye Chen frowned. From Chu Shuran’s reaction earlier, it was obvious that she had not noticed his presence.

However, why would the Chu clan retrieve the surveillance data from around Sky Stone Mountain? Could it be that they suspected that he was the culprit behind Yao Jingu’s death?

It was easy to explain the reason behind the Xia family’s investigation. It must be because of that little girl, Xia Ruoxue, and was likely related to the pill formula.

Ye Chen felt a headache coming on. He did not like trouble. Although he was not afraid, if these guys suspected him, it would result in endless troubles and trifles bothering him. Ye Lingtian noticed Ye Chen’s expression and explained, “Hall Master, please rest assured. I will find someone to deal with the deaths of the father and son of the Chen family and Yao Jingu. Even if I am found out, those people will not dare to touch you without sufficient evidence. Still, you should be careful, Hall Master.”

“Thanks.”

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked out.

When the chief and the two powerhouses saw Ye Chen, they were about to kneel when Ye Chen said, “There’s no need to kneel,” and quickly left.

He really was not used to these people and their outdated traditions. This was the 21st century, so could they act more appropriately? Ye Chen left the club and was surprised to see a young girl standing in front of a sports car, looking at something. It was Chu Shuran!

Chu Shuran’s long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her red dress had a low neckline, and her long, slender legs were simply too gorgeous for words.

She was wearing a windbreaker, perhaps due to the cold weather. Her chin was raised, and the look in her eyes was indifferent and a little arrogant.

When she saw Ye Chen walk out, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes and she quickly walked over.

After the conversation ended, her father had left first, after which her mind was filled with the scene of that waiter who called her a courtesan!

She did not hesitate to wait outside for Ye Chen to finish his night shift!

She did not believe that a mere waiter would pose a threat to her once they were out of the club!
