Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1276: Don’t Blame Me for Being Disrespectful!

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Don’t Blame Me for Being Disrespectful!

Liu Yunling could imagine the outcome if Fang Bai truly was a Universe Level perfection powerhouse and decided to wreak havoc in the Golden Crow Manor.

If Fang Bai really was a Universe Level perfection expert, then the only one in the entire Golden Crow Manor who could contend with him would be Manor Master Huang Canghai. However, Manor Huang has been exhausting a great amount of True Yuan daily to prolong the life of his son, Huang Yuanqi, and his strength is no longer at its peak. It’s uncertain if he could handle Fang Bai.

Although Golden Crow Manor has over ten thousand disciples, it would not be easy to collaborate and attempt to kill a Universe Level perfection powerhouse. Even if they could kill Fang Bai, the loss would be devastating, greatly weakening the manor.

Therefore, provoking Fang Bai, for the Golden Crow Manor, which is already troubled both internally and externally, would be akin to adding frost on top of snow—a very unwise move.

If his momentary impulsiveness led to a calamity for the Golden Crow Manor, Liu Yunling would truly have no excuse, even if he died a thousand times.

Liu Yunling’s mouth was half open, his gaze fixed on Fang with a face turning increasingly pale, and cold sweat continuously seeping from his forehead.

At this moment, his raging fury had already dissipated into nothingness, not a word of defiance could he utter. He wanted to apologize to Fang Bai and admit his mistake, but his pride prevented him from doing so.

Xia Chenyu was sitting next to Fang Bai, silent as well, her face expressionless, showing neither joy nor grief.

Fang Bai and Golden Crow Manor: one was the person she met in the secular world and took to her heart, the other had saved and sheltered her. With the two in conflict, she too was in a difficult position and decided to stay silent, aiding neither side.

But the moment she saw Fang Bai, she had already decided to follow him and leave, and no one could stop her. Even if the Golden Crow Manor had shown her generosity, it should not confine her freedom.

"Senior Fang, regarding the matter between you and Chenyu, how about we wait until our Manor Master is out of seclusion before discussing further? Additionally, Steward Liu had absolutely no intention of offending Senior Fang, he is just..."

Just as Sun Guangyi was trying to make excuses for Liu Yunling, Fang Bai waved his hand to cut him off, saying, "Regardless, I must take Chenyu away this time, no negotiations on that!"

After a pause, upon seeing the bitter smile on Sun Guangyi’s face, Fang Bai smiled and added, "Alright, I’m not an unreasonable man. We can talk about this matter when your Manor Master comes out. I hope Manor Huang is a person who understands right and wrong, and knows reason. Don’t let me down!"

Sun Guangyi, Li Jingren, and Liu Yunling exchanged glances, their faces showing wry smiles, thinking that Fang Bai’s way of speaking had a commanding tone, seemingly placing himself above Manor Huang.

Having had an unpleasant exchange with Fang Bai, Liu Yunling felt uncomfortable staying in the guest hall and found an excuse to leave temporarily.

Sun Guangyi needed to keep an eye on when Manor Master Huang Canghai would come out of seclusion and also wanted to find out about some recent events in the manor, so he left hastily as well.

As for Li Jingren, who had lost his left arm, he needed to rest, so he stayed behind in the guest hall to accompany Fang Bai in conversation.

"Senior Fang, our Manor Master’s temperament is... ahem... similar to Steward Liu’s; both are straightforward and outspoken. So, if... when you and the Manor Master meet, he might unwittingly say something not too friendly. I hope Senior Fang could be forgiving... There’s no need to rush the matter of taking Chenyu away. We could plan it out over time..."

After watching Liu Yunling and Sun Guangyi leave, Li Jingren thought for a moment before gingerly speaking to Fang Bai.

Li Jingren was genuinely worried that once the Manor Master emerged from seclusion, he would clash with Fang Bai on the spot upon learning about Fang Bai’s intention to take Xia Chenyu away.

Huang Canghai was the master of the manor, with an unparalleled position and his words were law—far beyond comparison to Steward Liu. Huang Canghai’s behavior could influence all the disciples of Golden Crow Manor, and if he lashed out at Fang Bai, it would be difficult to salvage the situation.

Therefore, the best course of action, as Li Jingren saw it, was for Fang Bai to yield a bit and not fall out with the Manor Master, or else it could result in a lose-lose situation for both parties.

Fang Bai grinned and said, "Steward Li, I truly apologize. I’ve always been one to return respect tenfold if shown an inch of courtesy. If your Manor Master treats me with due respect, all is well. But if you act like Steward Liu, all ready to lecture and accuse, don’t blame me for any disrespect shown in return!"

Li Jingren replied with a pained expression, "Senior Fang, if this escalates, it won’t be good for either party..."

Fang Bai said, "Whether this escalates or not is not up to me; it’s up to you. I believe Steward Li understands this better than I do, right?"

In his heart, Li Jingren thought, ’Understand my ass. Do you have any idea how much manpower and resources Golden Crow Manor has spent on cultivating Xia Chenyu? And here you are, brazenly insisting on taking Xia Chenyu away from Golden Crow Manor, how absurd!’

Although Xia Chenyu is willing to go with you, as a disciple of the Manor, she naturally has to abide by the Manor’s rules. If she leaves without permission, she would be scorned by all Sects and Prominent Clans in the True Martial Realm, and if she belonged to one of the stricter Sects, she might even be hunted down.

Sects and Prominent Clans have their own rules, and disciples who do not abide by them usually meet a grim fate.

Of course, in the True Martial Realm where the law of the jungle prevails and strength is revered, if Fang Bai’s power could overwhelm Golden Crow Manor, they would have no grounds to object to him taking Xia Chenyu away.

But from Li Jingren’s point of view, for Fang Bai to overwhelm Golden Crow Manor, his power would have to far surpass that of Manor Master Huang Canghai.

Yet Fang Bai is so young and just a Loose Cultivator; even if he has had great fortune, it’s not likely that he could have reached beyond the Universe Level Realm.

Based on what Li Jingren knew, even the fabled darlings of the Innate Sects were at most at the perfection of Universe Level Realm. How could Fang Bai, however extraordinary, compare to those Innate Sect Disciples with astonishing heritages?

If Fang Bai truly possessed the strength to transcend the Universe Level Realm, when Steward Liu was enraged earlier, he could have easily taken Xia Chenyu and left; why would he stand here listening to me ramble?

Considering it’s because Fang Bai gave face to Xia Chenyu’s feelings that he refrained from reacting, Li Jingren didn’t quite believe it.

Therefore, Li Jingren was convinced that Fang Bai did not have the confidence to take Xia Chenyu away by force; that’s why he did not dare act rashly.

However, despite this, Li Jingren still didn’t dare to offend Fang Bai in the slightest, for Golden Crow Manor was in a precarious state with multiple troubles brewing. If Fang Bai caused mutual destruction with Golden Crow Manor, it could not withstand it and might head towards ruin.

Li Jingren even thought that if Fang Bai was determined to take Xia Chenyu away, as long as he could offer sufficient benefits, there might still be room for negotiation.

"The situation at Eternal Death Zone is dire!"

"We must immediately get the Manor Master to make a decision!"

"What? The Manor Master hasn’t left seclusion yet? What should we do now?"

"The situation is urgent; we must hurry and urge him!"

"It seems to be the only way..."

Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps accompanied by several anxious voices rose from outside.

Following that, several Martial Artists dressed in Golden Crow Manor’s uniform strode into the reception hall.
