"Could it be that the people from Dan Pavilion are planning to ambush them on the road?"
Fu Qiuyu watched the carriage disappear into the distance, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation.
"But the people from Dan Pavilion don't seem like the kind who would endure this, unless they have been scared off by him and have truly changed their ways, intending to slink away from Jiangnan Province?"
Fu Qiuyu couldn't figure it out, and eventually, he was too lazy to think any further. He got into the car with Yao Liangbi and others and sped towards the location of their Medicine Alliance.
"Beep beep."
At that moment, the message alert sound from Fu Qiuyu's mobile phone rang out.
Fu Qiuyu took out his mobile phone to look, and his expression immediately shifted from nonchalant to a surge of shock and horror!
If one observed closely, they could see a trace of fear and unrest in his eyes!
"Old Yao, you!!"
Fu Qiuyu's gaze struggled to move away from the phone, and suddenly turned towards the absent-minded Yao Liangbi beside him, his eyes blazing as if Yao Liangbi had committed some unforgivable atrocity against him.
"What's wrong?"
Yao Liangbi, who was still worried about the situation with Mu Jinyu, was startled by Fu Qiuyu's sudden shout. After turning to look at Fu Qiuyu, he was taken aback by his ferocious expression.
Fu Qiuyu suppressed the urge to kill Yao Liangbi and turned the phone screen towards him, letting him see the content.
Yao Liangbi narrowed his eyes slightly and began to look at the content on the screen.
There wasn't much content—just a few photos. They showed a group of people from Dan Pavilion lying on the ground outside the auction house, spitting blood and looking for their teeth.
This wouldn't have been a big deal normally, likely just causing people to secretly ridicule those from Dan Pavilion.
But, standing in front of the sprawled people from Dan Pavilion were three individuals. One was Mu Jinyu, and the other two were Yao Liangbi and his granddaughter!
Seeing these photos, Yao Liangbi immediately understood why Fu Qiuyu was glaring at him with such a murderous look.
Initially, his attendance at the auction with Mu Jinyu had already displeased Fu Qiuyu, who was afraid it would embroil their Medicine Alliance.
And now, Fu Qiuyu, discovering that he had stood by Mu Jinyu's side when he entered the auction, watching him beat the people from Dan Pavilion until they were searching for their teeth, it would be odd if the people from Dan Pavilion didn't vent their anger on their Medicine Alliance!
"What are you doing? Do you realize what you're doing? The friend you brought has now caused a huge disaster! And because of your actions, you may also implicate our Medicine Alliance. Do you understand what you're doing?!"
Fu Qiuyu was livid. These photos had been sent to him by a friend, who had found out and specifically warned him so that their Medicine Alliance would be cautious lately and not be assassinated by Dan Pavilion without even realizing it.
Had it not been for this, he might still be unaware of the deeds Yao Liangbi had done with Mu Jinyu.
If it were just during the auction that Mu Jinyu had harshly confronted the folks from Dan Pavilion, asking them to roll out, then probably only Mu Jinyu would bear their grudge in the end.
But now that Fu Qiuyu had learned of the incident at the entrance of the auction, he realized that after killing Mu Jinyu, the people from Dan Pavilion would not spare Yao Liangbi, who had brought Mu Jinyu to the auction. If they were not careful, the entire Medicine Alliance could become involved!
An oversight, such an oversight!
Yao Bilian watched Fu Qiuyu tirelessly vent his anger and shout at Yao Liangbi, and couldn't help but whisper, "It's no big deal, it's none of our business anyway. Grandfather and I didn't do anything, and besides, we couldn't have stopped it at that time..."
"Slap!"
Yao Bilian hadn't finished speaking.
Fu Qiuyu immediately slapped her across the face, scolding, "What do you, a young girl, understand?"
"When it comes to the people from Dan Pavilion, it doesn't matter whether you did anything. As long as you stood there watching, you can expect their retaliation. Plus, they know you are from the Medicine Alliance, so they won't just take revenge on your Yao Family!"
Listening to Fu Qiuyu's rebuke, Yao Bilian's cheek throbbed with the stinging pain from his slap, filling her heart with immense grievance.
But she didn't even know whom to resent!
Whether it was Mu Jinyu, Dan Pavilion, or the Leader of the Medicine Alliance, none of them were people she could afford to provoke. She could only hate herself for being too weak, so weak that she could be bullied by anyone at will!
"Little Lian, are you alright?"
Yao Liangbi, seeing his granddaughter being slapped by Fu Qiuyu, felt extremely heartbroken and hurriedly asked.
Yao Bilian dared not say anything, pursed her lips, shook her head gently, and just suppressed the grievance in her heart, "Grandfather, I'm fine."
Yao Liangbi heaved a complicated sigh that seemed to age his face, and looking at the furious Fu Qiuyu, he said, "Alliance Hierarch, I am sorry, this matter indeed has my responsibility. Rest assured, after returning, I will resign from my position as Deputy Leader of the Medicine Alliance and personally go to Luo City to ask for punishment from Dan Pavilion!"
"These are your words, you chose to take responsibility for your actions on your own, I certainly didn't force you to go seek death!"
Upon hearing Yao Liangbi's words, Fu Qiuyu was somewhat satisfied in his heart, but spoke with a cold tone.
After speaking, he felt that letting Yao Liangbi go to Dan Pavilion to die and settle the score was not secure enough. If he could also capture Mu Jinyu and take her there as well, it should allow the Medicine Alliance to completely remove itself from the eye of the storm!
However, judging by the strength Mu Jinyu had exhibited at the auction, her power was obvious, and at the very least she had the strength of the Half-Step Divine Realm. It wasn't going to be easy to capture her!
At that moment, the carriage arrived at the estate of the Medicine Alliance.
While thinking about how to capture Mu Jinyu to apologize to Dan Pavilion, Fu Qiuyu ordered Yao Liangbi,
"Old Yao, go get ready, and relay any matters you need to address with the Yao Family as quickly as possible. Once done, hurry to Luo City to ask for punishment!"
"Yes."
Yao Liangbi nodded somberly, leading Yao Bilian toward the building that belonged to the Yao Family within the estate.
Fu Qiuyu watched them leave with a scoff, walking toward the central building of the Medicine Alliance, preparing to convene a meeting to see if there were any solutions.
Soon, in the meeting room, the leaders in charge of various major positions within the Medicine Alliance were all seated at the lower end of the table.
By this time, they had all learned of Dan Pavilion's people being brutally beaten by Yao Liangbi's friend to the point of searching the ground for teeth, and as they sat there, each of them wore a look of worry, unsure of what to do.
"Having Yao Liangbi go to Dan Pavilion to die, can that really solve our Medicine Alliance's calamity?"
"I think it would be safer to capture Yao Liangbi's friend and take him along!"
"But according to the Alliance Hierarch, that young man has at least the Cultivation of the Half-Step Divine Realm, it's not easy to deal with. Otherwise, Dan Pavilion's people wouldn't have been beaten so badly by him!"
"..."
While everyone was engaged in discussion,
an old man with white hair, a face without a single wrinkle, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, and with a straight spine, slowly walked into the meeting room.
"What's all the noise about?"
The moment the old man spoke, the clamor immediately ceased.
What followed was a chorus of cheers and surprised greetings:
"Supreme Elder, have you finally concluded your retreat?"
"Supreme Elder, how is your strength now?"
This old man was the Supreme Elder of the Medicine Alliance, Fang Taiping. Before the darkness and chaos, he was an old Grandmaster at the Peak of Energy Transformation on the verge of death.
But with the revival of Spiritual Energy, his body had been getting better, and after consuming several strains of Spiritual Medicine found by the Medicine Alliance, he had undergone a revival akin to a withered tree blossoming in spring, no different from a young man.
Recently, he even found a top-grade Spiritual Medicine and after consuming it, he secluded himself to break through to the God Realm!
It was no wonder that the members of the Medicine Alliance were shocked and excited to see Fang Taiping at this moment.
Fang Taiping waved his hand and said with a gentle smile, "I have just barely managed to advance into…"
