Sensing the hostility on Xiao Yunrong’s face, Long Li glanced at her but didn’t respond. Instead, she spoke directly, “Mr. Ye, the Old Dragon King fought all his life and established seven elite special forces units. Dragon Breath is one of them. But due to the increasing number of missions, the casualties have been severe, and the position of chief military doctor has long been vacant. I would like to invite you to join us.”
After speaking, she bowed deeply.
“Uh…” Ye Yunshen hesitated. He had just severed ties with the Shen family and hadn’t figured out where to go next. Dragon Breath was a great backer, but the military had strict discipline. He wasn’t sure he could adapt to it. Moreover, the military was full of eyes and ears—if they discovered his secret of the Nine-layered Mystic Arts, it would be a huge problem.
“Sister Long Li, give it up. Brother Yunshen isn’t going!” Xiao Yunrong immediately rejected her on Ye Yunshen’s behalf. “He’s the man I’ve set my eyes on. How can he go to such a dangerous place like the frontlines? He’s already my private doctor!”
“That’s not for you to decide.” Long Li smiled gracefully. “Serving and protecting the nation is the dream of every hot-blooded man. Isn’t that right, Mr. Ye?”
“Besides, the Old Dragon King also hopes Mr. Ye can join Dragon Breath.”
To win Ye Yunshen over, Long Li even invoked the Old Dragon King’s name.
“Hmph!” Xiao Yunrong clenched her teeth in frustration. Using Grandpa to pressure her? She was furious.
“Dragon Breath, huh? That’s nonsense. Grandpa clearly said it should be our ‘Kunpeng’ unit!”
Before Ye Yunshen could even respond, a new voice rang out.
Da-da-da…
The sound of rapid and chaotic footsteps approached. A group of people rushed over. Some wore special operations uniforms, exuding a powerful and intimidating aura.
Xiao Yunrong and Long Li’s faces changed instantly.
“Senior Brother, I came first! Priority should go to whoever arrived first!” Long Li said with a dark expression, glaring at Kunpeng team leader Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan laughed heartily, “Since when does recruiting someone depend on who came first?”
“Mr. Ye, we of Kunpeng formally invite you to join us. All the paperwork is ready—we’re just waiting for your nod!” Then he added, “Also, I heard you offended a powerful figure in Sucheng? I’ll take care of him for you!”
As Xiao Zhan gave the order, the special ops soldiers behind him immediately stood straight, releasing a chilling killing intent.
“What do you mean take care of him? As if our Dragon Breath couldn’t handle that?” Long Li countered coldly. The soldiers behind her also radiated a terrifying presence.
The two special ops forces were now at odds.
Three years ago, the big shot Ye Yunshen had offended was the most untouchable man in Sucheng. But in Long Li and Xiao Zhan’s eyes, he was nothing.
“Besides, I still owe Mr. Ye a favor!” Long Li puffed out her chest and looked boldly at Ye Yunshen. “Back at the hospital, everyone saw it. As long as Mr. Ye cured the Old Dragon King, I would owe him a favor. Now, that favor can be anything!”
Whoa…
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically. Anything? That was way too broad… It even implied that Long Li herself was part of the offer!
Ye Yunshen smiled awkwardly, “No need for favors… I’m not looking for repayment.”
“Mr. Ye!” Long Li raised her voice and stood tall with her fiery, dominant figure. “Repaying a favor doesn’t depend on what you need—it depends on what I have!”
“…”
Could her hint be any clearer?
Xiao Yunrong was fuming. Wasn’t it obvious Long Li was trying to steal him? What made it worse was that even Xiao Zhan’s team members were starting to stir. The source of this chapter is novelping dot com.
A young genius doctor who could revive the dying—who wouldn’t want him?
Not to mention, he could regulate the body, clear meridians, and enhance combat power!
“Mr. Ye, I think you’re better suited to stay in Sucheng. Concord Hospital sincerely invites you to join us. You can name your own salary! You’ll be second only to me!” A car pulled up, and a group got out quickly.
The speaker was Ning Yuanshan, director of Sucheng’s top hospital, Concord Hospital, also known as the ‘King of Medicine in Su’.
He had previously resented Xiao Yunrong for taking the Old Dragon King to Sucheng’s First Hospital instead of his. But after witnessing Ye Yunshen’s abilities, he was fully convinced.
Knowing that his status wasn’t high compared to the others here, Ning Yuanshan added, “Also, my daughter just returned from overseas with a top-level medical master’s degree. She can be assigned as your assistant!”
Everyone cursed Ning Yuanshan’s shamelessness. He even offered up his own daughter!
“Yuanshan, isn’t that a bit too much? You’re even throwing your own daughter into the deal?” another voice mocked.
Everyone turned gloomy again.
There was no need to ask—it was obvious another force had arrived to compete.
Amidst the crowd’s stunned silence, Fu Longxing appeared!
The Imperial Physician from the Imperial Capital’s Jinfang Traditional Medicine Hall—an absolute titan in the medical world.
Imperial physicians typically never left the capital. But because the Old Dragon King had defended the nation for thirty years and earned countless honors, the Dragon Guard Pavilion feared for his health in old age and reassigned Fu Longxing to care for him.
Yet what even Fu Longxing couldn’t achieve was accomplished by a young, unknown man.
With interest piqued, Fu Longxing said, “Young man, are you interested in becoming my disciple? Join Jinfang Traditional Medicine Hall!”
BOOM!
His words were like a bomb, shocking everyone present.
No one had ever heard of the imperial physician accepting a disciple. Yet Fu Longxing was making an exception—for Ye Yunshen!
Long Li, Xiao Zhan, and Ning Yuanshan all looked grim.
Damn it!
How could they compete with that?
Becoming a direct disciple of the imperial physician was too tempting!
Fu Longxing smiled at Ye Yunshen, waiting for his answer. The others held their breath, tense with anticipation.
“Brother Yunshen…” Xiao Yunrong was anxious too.
She didn’t view Fu Longxing as a rival. Among all these people trying to recruit Ye Yunshen, she only considered Long Li an enemy.
In fact, joining Fu Longxing would greatly benefit Ye Yunshen’s future. But because of Fu Longxing’s status, Ye Yunshen would have to follow him back to the capital. She might not get to see him again. That’s what worried her. Read the latest chapters at novelping . com.
“Hmm…” Ye Yunshen did appear to hesitate, but not because he was weighing options—he was wondering how to decline.
He wasn’t interested in joining any special forces or becoming anyone’s disciple. He had already set foot on the path of cultivation. As long as he had time, both his power and medical skills would surpass all of them.
“I’m sorry, Divine Doctor Fu.” Ye Yunshen sighed and declined gently, “My life is a mess right now, and I don’t even know what my next step is. I can’t dedicate myself solely to medicine.”
Whew!!
Everyone let out a long breath in unison.
But that relief was quickly replaced by shock.
Mr. Ye had refused! He rejected the chance to become the imperial physician’s disciple!
If this news spread, it would rock the entire nation’s medical community. An unprecedented offer from an imperial physician—turned down?
Fu Longxing looked regretful, but didn’t press him. Instead, he looked at Ye Yunshen with even more admiration. “To remain unshaken in the face of great fortune—what rare integrity. Very well, everyone has their own path. If you ever change your mind, come find me. My doors will always be open to you.”
He handed Ye Yunshen his business card and then left with his people.
“Mr. Ye, come to Dragon Breath!”
“Kunpeng needs you more!”
“Mr. Ye, my daughter is very beautiful!”
…
After Fu Longxing left, the remaining three forces dove right back into competing for Ye Yunshen.
They hadn’t dared go all out before, but with the biggest threat gone, the noisy argument resumed.
If Shen Qingqiu and Lin Ruoxi saw this scene, they’d be speechless with shock.
They had just said Ye Yunshen couldn’t live without them, that he wouldn’t survive if he left them.
Yet here he was, being chased by powerful forces on all sides—each one beyond anything they could imagine!
“Quiet, all of you!” Xiao Yunrong suddenly shouted.
The chaotic scene instantly went silent.
“Mr. Ye is already gone—what are you all fighting for?” she snapped irritably.
“Huh?!”
Everyone paused, looked around, and realized Ye Yunshen was nowhere to be found.
“But I do know where he went…” Xiao Yunrong said with a sly grin that no one noticed.
