Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1282: We’re Even

Just a few months ago, Huang Canghai still hoped that his beloved son, Huang Yuanqi, could recover from his injuries and regain his peak strength.

But now, he no longer has other extravagant hopes; he only wishes that his son’s life can be saved.

Only by preserving a life can one slowly find a way to solve the problem of lost strength.

But if life itself is lost, then everything disappears like smoke in the wind, with nothing left to discuss.

Fang Bai is the sole hope for preserving his son’s life, which is why Huang Canghai does not wish for any mistakes to occur during Fang Bai’s treatment period. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Therefore, after having Shi Cheng and the other three Great Elders guard the surroundings of the Manor Master Hall, Huang Canghai was still not at ease. He ordered Sun Guangyi, Li Jingren, and the other eight Stewards to stand guard at even more distant locations to avoid any defensive oversights that might lead to irrevocable losses.

Since the news of the Essence Stone Vein discovery at Eternal Death Zone was released, Golden Crow Manor has entered a period of frequent troubles, with unidentified Martial Artists often lurking around the manor. No one could guarantee they wouldn’t sneak into Golden Crow Manor and cause chaos.

Fang Bai needs an extremely quiet environment to heal Huang Yuanqi’s injuries. Should anyone break in and disturb them, the consequences might be unimaginable.

Huang Canghai’s decision to have the four Great Elders and several Stewards guard the periphery of the Manor Master Hall was also in anticipation of preventing unforeseen issues.

After the high-ranking officials such as Shi Cheng left, only Huang Canghai and Xia Chenyu remained in front of the Manor Master Hall.

"Chenyu..."

Huang Canghai turned to his side and looked at Xia Chenyu with a complex expression, then pointed towards a small pavilion not far away and spoke softly, "Shall we have a talk over there?"

"Hmm."

Xia Chenyu seemed to understand what Huang Canghai wanted to ask her, nodded her head, and followed him toward the small pavilion.

"Have you decided to leave Golden Crow Manor?"

The two sat opposite each other in the small pavilion, and Huang Canghai asked straightforwardly.

Huang Canghai learned from Sun Guangyi that Xia Chenyu and Fang Bai were Martial Dao partners. Fang Bai had come to Golden Crow Manor to repay the favor owed by Xia Chenyu and then to take her away.

Upon first hearing this, Huang Canghai’s immediate reaction was that since Xia Chenyu was a disciple heavily nurtured by the Golden Crow Manor and would be a pillar of the future, he absolutely could not allow Fang Bai to take her away.

However, after meeting Fang Bai, Huang Canghai realized that if Golden Crow Manor tried to forcefully keep Xia Chenyu, they might pay an unbearable price.

Although Fang Bai was just an Individual Cultivation Martial Artist, he was the most formidable one Huang Canghai had seen in his life.

This formidability referred not only to his Cultivation Level but also to the various abilities possessed by Fang Bai.

Be it Alchemy, Beast Taming, or Formations, Fang Bai not only dabbled in these but seemed to be quite skilled in them as well, which was a rare existence among the countless Martial Artists in the True Martial Realm.

High-grade Pill Masters, Array Masters, and Beast Tamers in the True Martial Realm all have extraordinary influence and are figures that almost all Sects and Individual Cultivation Martial Artists seek to court and please.

Someone like Fang Bai, who possesses multiple abilities and is a Universe Level perfection powerhouse, can indeed say that just by giving a call to arms, he could gather thousands of Martial Artists to serve and be driven by him within a short period.

If Golden Crow Manor dared to forcefully keep Xia Chenyu, Fang Bai, in a fit of anger, might summon many Sects and Loose Cultivators to hold Golden Crow Manor accountable.

Already under immense pressure due to the Essence Stone Vein, Golden Crow Manor, once caught in a conflict on two fronts, would likely be unable to turn the tide.

Huang Canghai dared not stake the future and fate of Golden Crow Manor on a gamble, so after weighing the gains and losses, he decided to let go of Xia Chenyu in exchange for Fang Bai’s support and assistance.

In the long run, forming a good relationship with Fang Bai would bring only advantages and no disadvantages to Golden Crow Manor.

Even in the short term, Fang Bai’s promise to save his beloved son Huang Yuanqi, to vow to help Li Jingren regenerate his severed arm, and to join forces with Golden Crow Manor to seize the Essence Stone Vein—Huang Canghai felt that giving up Xia Chenyu in exchange for these benefits and getting through a major crisis was very worthwhile.

Huang Canghai’s chat with Xia Chenyu was not to retain her but rather to learn more about Fang Bai through her.

"The moment I met Fang Bai, I decided to follow him and leave," Xia Chenyu said seriously in response to Huang Canghai’s inquiry.

"The grace of saving and sheltering me by Golden Crow Manor will be reciprocated by Chenyu in the future," Huang Canghai waved his hand and said, "I know that Fang Bai was willing to help Golden Crow Manor this time largely because of you. If Golden Crow Manor can safely get through this crisis, we will be even."

After a pause, he continued, "Fang Bai, this young man, has a talent that I have only seen once in my life. He is now a Universe Level perfection powerhouse. Unless something unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to advance to the Innate Realm in the future and become one of the top powerhouses. Chenyu, remembering that you were once a disciple of Golden Crow Palace, I ask for nothing else, only hoping that if Golden Crow Manor ever finds itself in trouble, you can persuade Fang Bai to lend a hand."

As Huang Canghai said this, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Xia Chenyu.

A Universe Level perfection powerhouse and head of a prominent clan bowing to Xia Chenyu, a mere beginning Cosmic Level Martial Artist—if others saw this, they would surely be shocked.

Xia Chenyu understood that Huang Canghai showed respect because of her close relationship with Fang Bai, and hurriedly returned the gesture, "Manor Master, there’s no need for such formalities. If Golden Crow Manor ever faces difficulties in the future, as long as Fang Bai and I can help, we certainly will!"

That was exactly what Huang Canghai wanted to hear from Xia Chenyu. Hearing this, his heart leaped with joy, "No matter where you are in the future, the gates of Golden Crow Manor will always be open for you. Also, if you and Brother Fang have time, remember to visit the manor frequently. If you encounter difficulties, you can also seek help from the manor. The tens of thousands of disciples here are your support."

"Thank you, Manor Master."

Though Xia Chenyu knew Huang Canghai was just being polite, she still showed gratitude.

After that, Huang Canghai indirectly inquired about some matters regarding Fang Bai. Xia Chenyu gave half truths and half fabrications, naturally not missing the chance to praise Fang Bai, making Fang Bai appear even more impressive in Huang Canghai’s eyes, feeling that collaborating with Fang Bai was an absolute win.

"Chenyu, I and several other high-ranking members of the manor are here to guard, you should go back and rest first!" Huang Canghai said to Xia Chenyu after chatting for a while in the pavilion.

In Huang Canghai’s view, given that his beloved son was critically wounded and near death, even if Fang Bai could cure him, it wouldn’t be a quick matter, so there was no need for Xia Chenyu to stay.

Xia Chenyu shook her head, "No need, Fang Bai will be out soon."

"What?"

Huang Canghai was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrong, and asked, "What did you say?"

Xia Chenyu pointed towards the Manor Master Hall and smiled, "I said Fang Bai will be out very soon."

"Impossible?"

Huang Canghai shook his head in disbelief, thinking that it was only a few hundred breaths’ time since they left the Manor Master Hall; even if Fang Bai had miraculous abilities, it wouldn’t be possible to cure Huang Yuanqi in such a short time.
