Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 969: Shen Yulin

Huang Miao had not anticipated that Fang Bai would be even more steadfast than Liu Liehu. She was momentarily stunned, then a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Junior Brother Fang, a true man knows when to bend and when to stand. Showing weakness at the right time can also be a means of wise self-preservation. The five of us are no match for Senior Brother Nangong and his group. If we persist in opposing them, they will gravely injure us! Moreover, this area is close to the heart of the Bitao Mountain Range, where the Spirit Beasts are more numerous and powerful. Should we be gravely injured and then attacked by a Spirit Beast, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Huang Miao earnestly and softly tried to persuade him.

Huang Miao was not afraid of dying, but she felt it unwise to face severe consequences over a moment of impulsiveness.

Although the Spiritual Medicine was precious, it was not worth more than their lives. Besides, lost Spiritual Medicine could be found again, but a lost life meant the end of everything.

Hou Ziping deeply agreed with Huang Miao’s words.

With his current strength, Hou Ziping was not afraid of any Direct Disciple of the Inner Court. However, he still harbored great apprehension towards the top Personal Transmission Disciple—he had a two-stage realm difference with Nangong Jian.

This gap endowed Nangong Jian with the power to completely overpower him.

Hou Ziping, thinking along the lines of Huang Miao, did not want to jeopardize everyone’s lives for a few stalks of Spiritual Medicine.

Giving up the hard-earned Spiritual Medicine might feel shameful, but a gentleman’s revenge could wait a decade. Who would say that one day he could not surpass Nangong Jian? Then, he could avenge today’s disgrace without haste.

However, Hou Ziping did not attempt to persuade Fang Bai like Huang Miao had.

Although Hou Ziping had only interacted briefly with Fang Bai, he felt that Fang Bai was profoundly mysterious and elusive during that time.

Hou Ziping firmly believed that the capabilities Fang Bai had displayed up until now were not his true powers. He even thought that Fang Bai was much more mystifying than Tu Hu, who had recently defeated Core Disciple Zhou Tong.

Hou Ziping believed he understood Fang Bai to a certain extent and knew that Fang Bai was not someone who acted impulsively. On the contrary, he was very calm and would not have spoken those seemingly irrational words to Liu Liehu without certainty.

Hou Ziping stared at Fang Bai’s inoffensive and handsome face, lost in thought, when suddenly he thought of a possibility and his eyes widened with excitement.

If Senior Brother Tu Tu Hu had recently shown his prowess by overturning the Core Disciple Zhou Tong, could it be possible that this Junior Brother Fang Bai had a chance against the premier Personal Transmission Disciple, Nangong Jian?

Fang Bai knew that Huang Miao was advising him with the best intentions. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Huang, don’t worry, we don’t necessarily have to directly confront Senior Brother Nangong. Someone will step in for us..."

Caught off guard, Huang Miao was about to inquire further but suddenly felt a premonition and turned to look toward the eastern bank of the river.

This glance was urgent, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Senior Sister Shen?"

From the primordial forest on the eastern bank of the river, another Cultivation Team emerged and quickly moved towards them.

The person in the front of this Cultivation Team was a woman in her early thirties from Bitao Martial Academy, wielding a short blade.

The woman’s complexion was fair, she had a tall figure and an energetic presence. The Martial Artist Aura emanating from her was comparable to that of Nangong Jian.

Upon seeing the woman, Hou Ziping was also surprised and murmured, "What is Senior Sister Shen doing here..."

"Senior Sister Huang, who is this Senior Sister Shen?"

Liu Qingqing asked in a low voice.

Huang Miao said, "Senior Sister Shen’s name is Shen Yulin. She is also one of the top ten Personal Transmission Disciples of Bitao Martial Academy, second only to Senior Brother Ouyang. However..."

She glanced at Shen Yulin and others who were rapidly approaching, then continued, "Here at Bitao Martial Academy, Senior Sister Shen’s character and reputation are much better than those of Senior Brother Ouyang. Moreover, Senior Sister Shen and Senior Brother Ouyang have always been at odds..."

She stopped abruptly, her eyes thoughtful as she glanced at Fang Bai, remembering how Junior Brother Fang had just mentioned that "someone will stand up for us." Could he have been referring to Senior Sister Shen Yulin?

But how did Junior Brother Fang know that Senior Sister Shen Yulin would appear here? And how could he be so sure that she would stand up for them against Senior Brother Ouyang?

Huang Miao certainly didn’t know that Fang Bai had already developed his Divine Sense, which allowed him to be aware of things in all directions and within a two-thousand-meter radius centered on him.

In other words, as long as Fang Bai extended his Divine Sense, he would be alert to every movement within a two-kilometer radius around him.

Recently, when the Cultivation Team headed by Shen Yulin entered the range of Fang Bai’s Divine Sense, they happened to be discussing the grievances between Shen Yulin and Ouyang Jian, leading Fang Bai to realize the irreconcilable conflict between these two major Personal Transmission Disciples.

Later, as Shen Yulin and others neared the Nether River, they discovered Ouyang Jian and his group closing in on the team led by Huang Miao, clearly intent on causing harm to Huang Miao’s team.

In Bitao Martial Academy, many disciples knew about the deep animosity between Ouyang Jian and Shen Yulin. Whatever Ouyang Jian despised and opposed, Shen Yulin was sure to favor and support.

While others feared Ouyang Jian, Shen Yulin was not afraid of him at all. Although she was slightly inferior to Ouyang Jian in a duel, their strength was so closely matched that Ouyang Jian would also pay a heavy price to severely injure her.

Ouyang Jian is a smart man; he would never engage in a battle that causes great damage to himself as well as to his enemy.

Thus, although Ouyang Jian despised Shen Yulin, he was unable to do anything against her.

Similarly, Shen Yulin greatly despised Ouyang Jian and loathed his character. Whenever she saw Ouyang Jian bullying disciples of Bitao Martial Academy, she would step forward to stop him.

Therefore, Shen Yulin was extremely popular at Bitao Martial Academy and, when setting out for mountain training, many disciples hoped to team up with her.

Eventually, Shen Yulin formed a ten-member team consisting of one Personal Transmission Disciple, four Core Disciples, and four Inner Court Disciples.

The overall strength of their team was in no way inferior to the team led by Ouyang Chuang. In fact, it was even slightly stronger.

Upon seeing Ouyang Jian’s group pressing close to the team including Huang Miao, Shen Yulin’s first reaction was that Ouyang Jian and his people intended to bully them.

Unlike Ouyang Jian’s arrogant self-confidence, Shen Yulin was very approachable, could easily interact with most of the Personal Transmission Disciples and Core Disciples, and even befriended disciples from the Inner Court, External Courtyard, and even menial servants.

Such a Personal Transmission Disciple was inevitably much loved and welcomed by the disciples of Bitao Martial Academy.

Having a favorable impression of Huang Miao, the second-ranked disciple in combat power from the Inner Court, Shen Yulin felt that Huang Miao’s personality somewhat resembled her own, and their growth trajectories were nearly identical. Perhaps in another ten or eight years, she could become what Shen Yulin is now.

Seeing that Ouyang Jian and his people were nearly upon them, Shen Yulin’s eyes sparkled brilliantly, and her figure suddenly accelerated, reaching Huang Miao’s side in an instant.
