Urban Super Medical Sage

Mandarin Duck Tower, First Level.

Suddenly, it became quiet.

Tap, tap, tap...

In the silent atmosphere, a series of footsteps came from above, from afar to near.

Everyone present lifted their heads, looking towards the wooden staircase in the lobby on the first level.

Soon.

Xu Wu and Ke Ying appeared.

The moment they appeared, they naturally became the focus of attention, with everyone tightly staring at them.

To be precise, they were staring at Ke Ying.

Almost everyone present knew Xu Wu. Xu Wu had come from Wind Province, and these top prodigies had seen Xu Wu more than once before. But Ke Ying, it was the first time...

But that’s not the point. The point is, Ke Ying was actually... actually... holding Xu Wu’s arm.

The two looked like a couple.

This...

Strange!!!

Extremely strange.

It was well-known that Xu Wu was obsessed with Schi Yan.

Not only did the people present know this, but even some ordinary Martial Cultivators in the Wind Province Capital were aware of it.

And today, Schi Yan was present, right here at the scene. Xu Wu appearing so intimately with a woman no one knew, what exactly was this all about?

For a moment, the atmosphere became stiff and awkward.

Many young talents subconsciously looked at Schi Yan.

Schi Yan was still relatively calm, although her face didn’t look too good, slightly biting her red lips, revealing a hint of panic in her awkwardness.

To be honest, she didn’t favor Xu Wu, at least not with romantic feelings. So when Xu Wu found another woman, she felt relieved, without any sadness, disappointment, jealousy, etc...

But today, she had prepared herself to accept Xu Wu’s pursuit!

She even put on makeup, dressed up, and took it seriously.

Unexpectedly...

A dramatic reversal.

She overthought it.

"Yan’er, this..." Yu Yui couldn’t help but want to say something, her face changing between shades of blue and red, her beautiful eyes almost popping out, extremely shocked, with a very complicated mood.

On one hand, she was indignant for Schi Yan. Clearly, Xu Wu had been devoted to Schi Yan, chasing her for many years without changing his heart. Why today, with Schi Yan ready to agree, did he change his heart? It was infuriating.

On the other hand, she felt a bit of uncontrolled happiness and glee. Having always been by Schi Yan’s side, she felt somewhat inferior. Others’ eyes and admiration were always focused on Schi Yan. She felt this was because of the halo Xu Wu brought to Schi Yan due to his devotion. She was truly envious, even jealous. And suddenly, Xu Wu gave up on Schi Yan, making Schi Yan seem like a jewel that suddenly lost its shine, having fallen from a high place, giving her a sense of psychological balance, an emotional release.

"First of all, welcome everyone to this gathering." The next moment, Xu Wu spoke, casting a glance at Schi Yan before withdrawing his gaze. Yet, his heart was bleeding.

Previously, he had invited Schi Yan several times to meals, banquets, etc. Occasionally, Schi Yan would agree, but she would never wear makeup or dress up, clearly signaling disagreement.

And today, Schi Yan had put on makeup, dressed beautifully, shockingly beautiful, indicating agreement. If he proposed today, she would certainly agree to become his woman. But, alas...

Fortunately, Xu Wu was after all Xu Wu, a character destined to be the Son of the Emperor, hardly simple. At least his emotions wouldn’t show on his face.

His smile still contained some pride, some warmth, some friendliness.

He slightly raised his head, his gaze falling freely, his air like a pine tree.

Then, Xu Wu leaned closer to Ke Ying, bringing them closer together. Moreover, he grasped Ke Ying’s hand, with more indulgence in his smile, his voice louder: "Of course, I should introduce my wife, Ke Ying, to everyone."

Yes.

Wife.

Not fiancée or anything like that.

They had already married in the Imperial Academy.

As soon as Xu Wu uttered the word ’wife,’ the hall of the Mandarin Duck Tower’s first level seemed to freeze, with not even a breath heard.

Completely stunned.

Just now, although Xu Wu and Ke Ying were holding hands, Xu Wu hadn’t spoken. Everyone was merely speculating. It could have reversed, perhaps Ke Ying was Xu Wu’s long-lost sister, who knows? She might not be Xu Wu’s woman!

Who knew...

"Everyone, please be seated. Let’s have a drink, first have a drink." Immediately afterwards, Xu Wu broke the awkward and stiff atmosphere.

The young talents present quickly agreed, although their expressions were somewhat odd, no one dared disrespect Xu Wu.

The atmosphere seemed to become lively again.

"Realm of Returning to Truth Seventh Layer Middle Stage?" Su Chen murmured, recognizing Xu Wu’s Realm in a glance, growing somewhat more wary of the Imperial Academy. According to the information, Xu Wu was only a Two-Star Son of the Emperor at the Academy. If Two-Star disciples were at Realm of Returning to Truth Seventh Layer, the Academy indeed seemed terrifying.

As Su Chen looked towards Xu Wu again, Xu Wu was also looking towards where Su Chen and the two others were, but his attention was on Di Qiong, not Su Chen.

Xu Wu knew about Di Qiong’s information. This girl was the one Ke Wuxin gave a death order for, a girl whose life was to be taken.

Normally, tomorrow, almost no doubt, this girl would die in her battle with Yi Fu, with no chance of survival. It’s known Yi Fu was Wind Province’s top prodigy of the past ten thousand years, even he Xu Wu, already the Son of the Emperor now, still wasn’t Yi Fu’s match, quite some distance away.

But Ke Wuxin said this girl named Di Qiong was very unusual, even strange, needing personal assurance of her death, confirming her death. That was Xu Wu’s main reason for being sent, for Ke Wuxin to ensure Di Qiong’s death, ideally bringing Di Qiong’s corpse or shattered Divine Soul back to the Academy for Ke Wuxin, thus affirming her death.

Xu Wu didn’t understand why Ke Wuxin valued Di Qiong so highly, as if, according to Ke Wuxin, she seemed to be undying and indestructible. Deep down, Xu Wu felt Ke Wuxin might be overreacting, but he could only keep such thoughts buried inside.

"Very young, very strong." Xu Wu deeply stared at Di Qiong, assessing internally who was stronger, himself or Di Qiong, but unable to determine. Their Realm was the same, but Di Qiong seemed shrouded in a veil, giving him an inscrutable feeling.

"It seems Ke Wuxin didn’t reveal my presence." A hint of amusement played at Su Chen’s lips. Clearly, Xu Wu didn’t recognize him, nor know him, otherwise, his full attention wouldn’t have been on Di Qiong, ignoring Su Chen completely.
