Zhou Xuan was stunned upon hearing this. The concept of God Kings seemed too distant.
"Uncle-Master, this can't be fake, can it?"
Although Zhou Xuan knew this world contained Immortal Realms, Buddhist Realms, Divine Realms, and so on.
Those were merely on paper.
He hadn't expected there to be God Kings, or so-called Immortal Gods.
Immortal Gods and mortals were both just figments of imagination, or legendary beings.
"Of course, it's real. This is a divine ability passed down by the God Race for millions of years," Elder Huang nodded. "In the Divine Realm, God Kings are supreme Emperors. We cultivators are merely low-tier ants. Above us are the Divine Spirits. And beyond Immortal Gods, there are Upper Realms, and even more powerful realms..."
After speaking, he paused, seemingly contemplating how to continue telling Zhou Xuan about the world.
"What other realms are there?"
"You'll know when you reach the end of your cultivation."
"I will have Lin Fan get you news from the Zhuge family as soon as possible."
"No need! I've already found an opportunity!"
A clear female voice came from outside.
It was Lü Linglong.
Lü Qixuan was nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Xuan asked, puzzled, "Why? What opportunity?"
"Zhuge Changfeng suddenly fell ill, and the Zhuge family is in chaos, searching for renowned doctors everywhere. Zhou Xuan, your opportunity has arrived."
"Concurrently, the Qin family and the Zhuge family are vying for renowned doctors, all for Qin Qingya, who suffers from the Peach Blossom Gu!"
"Is that true?"
"Indeed. How you proceed is up to you," Lü Linglong said with a smile.
"Peach Blossom Gu?"
"Yes, can you solve it?"
"This is incredibly simple for me. However, I choose the elder Mr. Zhuge."
Zhou Xuan smirked coldly.
"Alright, then I'll spread the word for you."
"Thank you very much then!"
Zhou Xuan bowed.
He intended to use this chance to teach Li Ming, that foolish fellow, a lesson.
Soon.
In less than half an hour.
Two groups of people arrived at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Before even meeting Zhou Xuan, they began shouting and confronting each other.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Heh, Zhuge Changfeng is old, and by rights, the chance to survive should go to our Qin family's young lady!"
"How dare you! On what grounds?"
"Naturally, on the grounds that the Qin family is stronger than your Zhuge family!"
"Oh, you're quite bold! Don't tell me you don't know who the divine doctor residing here is?"
"Who?" The other party had a bad premonition!
"It's Zhou Xuan, Master Zhou, whom your Qin family dislikes the most, hahaha..."
The person sent by the Qin family was immediately choked.
He had only heard rumors circulating in the marketplace about a master who could cure the Peach Blossom Gu and had rushed over.
He hadn't expected it to be Zhou Xuan, with whom he had a prior feud! What was he to do?
Seeing him break out in a cold sweat, the attendant from the Zhuge family sneered repeatedly.
"One realizes the scarcity of friends when in need. Your Qin family, who acted so imperiously before, must not have foreseen this day!"
"If you ask me, you deserve this for how you treated Master Zhou before! Such a third young lady, it's fine if she dies, who told her to be so unchaste!"
"You! Huo Qinghai! You're tired of living!"
"Come on, if you're not convinced, come and hit me. Let's see if you can get anyone to leave with you today!"
One had to admit, the person from the Zhuge family was quite interesting.
Zhou Xuan, listening from behind, heard it all clearly and was curious about this remarkable individual.
They were confronting the Qin family without any apparent fear, and it made him feel incredibly satisfied.
He rarely moved when praised, but this person's actions this time stirred a hidden sense of exhilaration.
"No need to invite me. If you're from the Qin family, please leave. I refused Qin Zhan Tian himself when he asked me to treat his illness, let alone a mere individual like you? I won't make it difficult for you; scram!"
The Qin family member's face turned ashen. He was simultaneously embarrassed and humiliated.
The leader, upon seeing Zhou Xuan, suddenly knelt down.
"Please, Master Zhou, save our young lady! She did nothing wrong, and her crimes do not warrant death!"
"Like this?"
The other party thought Zhou Xuan was relenting and quickly nodded.
"Tsk, what a shame. Her only mistake was being born into the Qin family."
"Ah?"
The Qin family members were all left speechless.
"Master, is there truly no room for negotiation? If you are willing, our master said he will give you anything! Just name it!"
"No need, I don't want anything from the Qin family! Go back and tell your master that unless Qin Huaiyu personally kneels to wash my feet, give me a massage, and apologize for a whole night, I might grudgingly agree!"
Zhou Xuan deliberately humiliated him.
Unexpectedly, the other party showed a hint of willingness to negotiate.
Huo Qinghai from the Zhuge family pushed him aside.
"Master, please don't listen to his wild talk! The Qin family patriarch is not someone he can make decisions for. Please help and save our old master. Our master has also said that no matter the cost, as long as the old master is cured, you can name your price!"
As Zhou Xuan expected, he casually clapped his hands. "Then I'll accompany you to the Zhuge family. After all, I don't want to see the beautiful and radiant Miss Zhuge Mingyue disheartened. She is, after all, the old master's favorite granddaughter. It's better for such a treasured darling to stay alive."
This statement was, in fact, a subtle jab implying that Qin Qingya's death was inconsequential.
The Qin family members' faces changed dramatically.
Finally unable to contain themselves, they left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.
All the way, Zhou Xuan could still hear them contacting Qin Huaiyu.
He had only intended to tease and humiliate Qin Huaiyu with his words.
However, he hadn't expected that just as he agreed with Huo Qinghai from the Zhuge family and was about to get into the top-spec Aston Martin DBS,
A fiery red sports car screeched to a halt with a dramatic drift, blocking the Aston Martin.
The only path was now obstructed.
A woman emerged from the car.
It was Qin Huaiyu.
Dressed in a flaming flamingo red dress, her curvaceous figure was perfectly accentuated. Though not revealing an inch of skin, she exuded an aura of abstinence!
"My goodness, could she really be here to apologize and give me a massage for a night?"
Was this a windfall from heaven?
Zhou Xuan watched her approach with a cold smile.
"Master Zhou, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"
"That doesn't seem to concern Miss Qin, does it?"
"I'm truly sorry, the road is too narrow, and my driving skills aren't great. I ended up blocking it."
"Patriarch Qin, if you have something to say, please get straight to the point. I'm not used to this kind of approach."
"Save my sister Qingya, the conditions... I agree..."
"It depends on whether you dare..."
Qin Huaiyu drew out her words, raising an eyebrow at him.
Zhou Xuan swallowed hard, then looked at the numerous experts who followed.
Half of the Qin Wei Army had been deployed, completely surrounding the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, so tightly that not even a fly could escape!
Huo Qinghai's face turned green!
His own old master was still waiting!
Even the doctors had issued a critical illness notice. Without Zhou Xuan, the nearby divine doctor, he was bound to die!
"Patriarch Qin, what is the meaning of this?"
"Huo Qinghai, you're not qualified to speak to me. Get aside!"
"You!"
