Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Chapter 60 Playing with words, not martial arts

"Really?" Yin Yuhan chuckled. "If that's what you're saying, then I won't hold back!"

"Furthermore, I need to find allies, including Qingran, so it'll be two against one!"

Li Qingran blushed slightly, and a strange impulse welled up inside her.

She didn't know why Brother Huo had rejected her.

It's now obvious that it's because of Jiang Aiwei.

If there really is a competition, it seems like she doesn't have no hope.

"You people are so good at criticizing others, but you all have double standards when it comes to yourselves!" Chen Huo lectured earnestly. "You tell me to listen to the opinions of War God Murong, but you yourselves won't listen!"

"What's with all this 'stealing' nonsense? I'm nothing!"

"Haha, you really are a scoundrel!" Yin Yuhan seized on the remark and burst into laughter.

Li Qingran and Jiang Aiwei couldn't help but laugh.

Even Murong Bingyun smiled slightly: "You have a very clear understanding of yourself, that's good!"

Chen Huo was speechless.

These women are really mean!

Perhaps the joke eased the awkwardness of their meeting, and their relationship returned to normal.

They chattered excitedly about what to eat for dinner.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama.

There are four now, that's enough for a whole movie!

Never mind, let them be!

After dinner, Jiang Aiwei and the others suggested playing mahjong.

However, they were utterly defeated by Chen Huo last time, so this time they kicked her out of the game and called on Murong Bingyun instead.

Murong Bingyun wasn't very good at it, but she learned quickly, and before long, she was playing quite well.

Chen Huo was happy to have some peace and quiet. After watching the battle for a while, he went back to his room.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing his internal energy and regulating his breathing.

Before he was released from prison, his cultivation level had stagnated and he was unable to make any further progress.

His master's wife always said that once he reached his level, further progress would no longer be possible simply through diligent study and practice.

It takes a moment of enlightenment or a specific opportunity to break through the bottleneck.

Chen Huo has been trying to adjust his mindset during this period, especially today when he had the rare opportunity to fight Feng Lieyang and showed his true strength.

I wonder if my cultivation level will change.

After circulating his internal energy for one cycle, Chen Huochang exhaled a breath of white air, slightly disappointed.

Still nothing!

Since reaching this level, his cultivation has been like water in an ancient well, calm and undisturbed.

It seems that it still depends on luck!

Silent all night.

The next day, Li Qingran and the other two went to work as usual, with Murong Bingyun's assistant, Li Xiuxiu, acting as their bodyguards.

Chen Huo and Murong Bingyun went to the birthday banquet.

The Earth Immortals Association in Jiangcheng represents the most powerful force in the martial arts world.

As the leader of this martial arts force, the Old Earth Immortal was also known as the Old God Immortal.

And since it happened to be his 100th birthday, the birthday banquet was naturally extremely grand.

The event was held at the old immortal's own Daoist temple, inside a palace on the banks of the Jiangcheng River.

Inside and out, red silk banners were already everywhere, and incense smoke curled upwards.

The white sandalwood fragrance permeates the interior and exterior of the building, and coupled with the antique architectural style, at first glance, it truly feels like entering a fairyland.

Those who can enter this venue are either rich or noble, and their status is at least among the top tier in Jiangcheng.

Among them were many important figures who came from other places specifically to offer their birthday greetings.

Chen Huo and Murong Bingyun showed their invitations and entered the Taoist temple.

"The old Earth Immortal truly lives up to his name. The layout and feng shui of this cultivation ground are quite sophisticated; it's indeed an excellent place for cultivation!" Murong Bingyun looked around. "I wonder what level of cultivation this old Earth Immortal has reached?"

Chen Huo scoffed, "War God Murong, you believe in this too?"

"There are many masters among the people, and in every field and profession, there are masters and traditions!" Murong Bingyun said.

"To put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of unsavory characters from the martial arts world, incapable of entering the imperial court. As a member of the imperial court, War God Murong, you should have confidence, not belittle yourself!" Chen Huo shook his head. "In my eyes, the so-called Earth Immortal Society is nothing but a stinking ditch!"

"As for the old earth immortal, he's just an old codger with most of his body buried in the ground!"

"You..." Murong Bingyun glared at her, "Keep your voice down!"

"Whether the old immortal is in the martial arts world or the imperial court, he is at least more senior than us, a true elder. It wouldn't be good for others to hear about it!"

"What's wrong with that? We'll settle accounts with him sooner or later anyway, so what's the harm in a falling out?" Chen Huo said dismissively.

"Chen Huo, our goal is to find out the truth, not to fight!" Murong Bingyun said earnestly. "For today's birthday banquet, I plan to play it safe, not fight. If the old immortal can give me a definite explanation, there's no need to break ties with him!"

"What if he doesn't give it to me?" Chen Huo asked.

"No...we'll talk about it later!" Murong Bingyun sighed softly. "Anyway, listen to me, don't be impulsive, lest you make things worse!"

"Otherwise, there's no need for the old immortal to intervene; I'll just kick you out first!"

Chen Huo curled his lip, thinking to himself, "Who will chase whom is still uncertain!"

"Hey brother, it's been so long! I'm really lucky to run into you today!"

"Mr. Zheng, what are you saying? With your status in Jiangcheng's business circle, seeing me is a piece of cake..."

Just then, several voices praising each other came over.

Chen Huo glanced over and spotted several familiar faces.

These were three heads of the four major families in Jiangcheng: Zheng Hongjun, Zhou Mancang, and Zhu Zhide.

The three were dressed smartly and looked radiant. Behind them was a group of people carrying large boxes, birthday greetings, and gifts, making quite a grand entrance.

They chatted with someone for a while, and then they saw Chen Huo.

In an instant, he turned pale with fright and broke out in a cold sweat.

Previously, the three parties joined forces and paid a huge sum of money to hire the Assassin's Guild to deal with Chen Huo and his group.

They thought victory was assured, but things turned out differently; the entire Assassin Alliance was wiped out.

Upon receiving the news, the three were extremely uneasy, fearing that something might go wrong and that Chen Huo would come looking for revenge.

I never expected to run into the old immortal at his birthday banquet.

But they couldn't hide, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come up to greet him: "Mr. Chen, you've also come to the old immortal's birthday banquet?"

"Yes, what a coincidence!" Chen Huo said with a smile. "How have the three family heads been feeling lately? If you're feeling unwell anywhere, you can tell me, and I'll help you loosen up your muscles!"

Zheng Hongjun and the other two shivered involuntarily, shaking their heads in unison: "Mr. Chen, not for now!"

"Well, we have other things to do, let's talk later!"

After saying that, he hurriedly slipped into the crowd, looking like a thief, feeling extremely guilty.

A cold glint appeared in Chen Huo's eyes.

He knew perfectly well that the Assassin's Guild's underhanded tactics were orchestrated by these very individuals.

However, there's no rush to deal with them for now.

After we finish dealing with the old earth immortal, we will naturally settle accounts with them.
