Chapter 1951 - 1952: Impostor?

Chapter 1951: Chapter 1952: Impostor?

Hearing this voice, Ye Xuan and the others stopped in their tracks.

Turning their heads, they saw a middle-aged man also dressed in a brocade robe, followed by a young man with a handsome appearance.

Judging by their looks, they seemed to be father and son.

At this moment, they were walking over, the middle-aged man was calm, but the young man looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of disdain.

Ye Xuan looked dumbfounded.

What did I ever do to them? Do they just look down on me at first sight?

Xiahou Zhenshan and his daughter both frowned upon seeing this father and son.

With a solemn face, Xiahou Zhenshan said, "Xiahou Zhenkong, what brings you two here?"

Xiahou Zhenkong, Xiahou Zhenshan’s younger brother, although not quite on par with Xiahou Zhenshan, his cultivation in the Hidden Dragon was still quite renowned.

Outsiders naturally wouldn’t know, but within the Xiahou Family, it was almost universally known that Xiahou Zhenkong was quite proud and had never truly accepted Xiahou Zhenshan. He had been wanting, both openly and secretly, to make Xiahou Zhenshan step down so he could assume the position of Family Head.

Xiahou Zhenkong’s lips twitched twice, revealing a slightly mocking smile.

He glanced at Ye Xuan, then spoke slowly and deliberately, "Family Head, our elderly mother is gravely injured, and you’re bringing this ordinary fellow to her place, what are you intending to do?"

"This is the only heir of the Divine Doctor Sect, who bears the Taiyin Divine Needle. Naturally, I brought him to save Grandma!" Xiahou Yudie replied coldly.

"Oh? The only heir of the Divine Doctor Sect?" Xiahou Zhenkong chuckled, "If that’s truly the case, then that’s certainly good. I’m just afraid that this so-called heir of the Divine Doctor Sect might be a fraud."

"A fraud?" Xiahou Zhenshan was furious upon hearing this, "Xiahou Zhenkong, are you insinuating that I’m endangering our elderly mother? How dare you!"

"Calm down, Family Head, don’t get angry so easily."

Xiahou Zhenkong laughed sinisterly twice, then continued, "I’m merely doubting this kid, I never said I doubted you. Are you so agitated because you have a guilty conscience?"

"You..."

Xiahou Zhenshan was momentarily at a loss for words, choking with anger.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan watched everything unfold, feeling quite speechless.

Indeed, every family has its difficulties. The more profound the heritage and the more numerous the descendants, the more severe the internal strife.

Xiahou Zhenshan wholeheartedly wanted to heal the elderly lady of the Xiahou Family, willing to pay any price, but Xiahou Zhenkong had a different agenda altogether.

He simply didn’t want the elderly lady of the Xiahou Family to survive!

Why?

Ye Xuan didn’t even need much understanding to ascertain that this elderly lady must be partial to Xiahou Zhenshan. As long as she was alive, Xiahou Zhenkong could never replace Xiahou Zhenshan as Family Head.

One might say, to ascend to the position of Family Head of the Xiahou Family, the first thing Xiahou Zhenkong needed to do was to ensure the death of the elderly lady...

Ye Xuan wasn’t one to meddle in trivial affairs.

But being directly labeled a fraud, that he could not tolerate.

Thus, amid the standoff, Ye Xuan stepped forward, eyes gleaming with interest as he eyed Xiahou Zhenkong, then cheerfully said, "So, you’re questioning my medical technique?"

Xiahou Zhenkong gave Ye Xuan a cold glance and shook his head, saying nothing. His attitude was evident.

Kid, you’re not even worthy of speaking to me!

Ye Xuan frowned slightly.

Meanwhile, Xiahou Jing, who was behind Xiahou Zhenkong, sneered, "Kid, what do you amount to? How dare you approach my father? Step ten meters back immediately, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

"Rude?" Ye Xuan chuckled, "How, exactly, will you be rude?"

"Courting death..." Xiahou Jing immediately prepared to strike.

"Impudent!" Xiahou Zhenshan barked coldly, "Xiahou Jing, Ye Xuan is a guest of the Xiahou Family, how dare you offend him? Do you wish to be punished by family law?"

Xiahou Jing didn’t dare move, but his face was full of defiance.

Xiahou Zhenkong also frowned, coldly saying to Xiahou Zhenshan, "Family Head, this young man, even if he is truly a Divine Doctor Sect heir, how skilled can his medical technique be? Taiyin Divine Needle? If the Taiyin Divine Needle were so easy to master, it wouldn’t have been lost to time."

Xiahou Zhenshan was about to speak.

Ye Xuan, however, raised his hand to stop him and Xiahou Yudie from speaking, once more smilingly looked at Xiahou Zhenkong, "In a word, if today I can’t heal the serious injury of the Xiahou Family’s elderly lady, you can take my head."

Xiahou Zhenshan and his daughter were shocked upon hearing this.

Xiahou Zhenkong also paused in surprise at these words.

Finally, he started to take Ye Xuan seriously, his eyes gleaming coldly as he laughed, "Do you think it’s meaningful for an ordinary person like you to make such a promise to me? If you fail to save the elderly lady, I’ll kill you. Do you think you can escape?"

Ye Xuan nodded, "I can escape."

"Oh?" Xiahou Zhenkong laughed heartily, "How can you be so sure?"

"You’ll see soon enough." Ye Xuan grinned, his slender figure suddenly blurred, and in the next second, he appeared in front of Xiahou Jing.

Xiahou Jing sensed something was amiss, "Courting death!"

The Qigong within him surged instantly, striking mercilessly at Ye Xuan.

However, before the punch, which nearly contained all his strength, could land on Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan had already preemptively kicked Xiahou Jing in the chest.

In the blink of an eye, a tremendous force of Qigong erupted.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed, and Xiahou Jing’s chest immediately caved in as his body flew in a bow-like arc, crashing into a stone wall in the courtyard, shattering it completely.

Debris scattered, and dust filled the air!

Xiahou Jing lay motionless in the rubble, with no sign of life.

The atmosphere became instantly static.

A moment later.

Xiahou Zhenkong snapped back to reality, roaring in rage, "You scoundrel, how dare you hurt my son! You’re courting death!"

As he spoke, his massive Qigong power erupted.

"Xiahou Zhenkong, stand down!"

At the same moment, Xiahou Zhenshan also regained his senses, stepping in front of Ye Xuan, a stronger aura sweeping forth, forcing Xiahou Zhenkong back several steps.

Xiahou Zhenkong grunted, forcibly suppressing his turbulent blood, and coldly said to Xiahou Zhenshan, "Family Head, what is the meaning of this? That boy dared to hurt my son Xiahou Jing, yet you help an outsider to oppress your own kin?"

"Xiahou Jing was disrespectful and deserved to be taught a lesson!"

Xiahou Zhenshan said calmly, "Besides, Ye Xuan’s actions just now were merely to prove his own strength to you. Do you still think you can kill him without him escaping?"
