Chapter 174 The Doctor's Calling

"Whether we win or lose, I will follow Lord Lu's lead," Fatty Chen stated plainly. "Boss Chu, if you have any compassion, you should leave quickly to avoid being implicated!"

"Fatty Chen, how can you say that?" Boss Chu retorted coldly. "Do you think I'm that kind of person? Leaving in times of crisis? If that gets out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Chu family!"

"Since you don't want to leave, why say so much," Fatty Chen stated plainly. "I've always seen you as two-faced towards Lord Lu. I advise you to be sincere, otherwise, if you displease the Lord, you won't fare well."

"Look at what you're saying, I'm not that kind of person!" Boss Chu quickly shook his head. "If that were the case, why would I stay!"

Fatty Chen didn't say much more. Boss Chu had always been someone who only shared in good times but not hardships, which was why he had such strong opinions about him.

Meanwhile, by the shores of Qingzhou Lake, Lu Fan was fighting against three Grandmasters and was not at a disadvantage, which astonished Yun Qingshan.

They were three veteran Grandmasters, and even their combined efforts couldn't suppress Lu Fan in a short time, demonstrating Lu Fan's immense strength.

Qianqiuzi, on the other hand, was leisurely fighting the Han family head, appearing unhurried, as if nothing were amiss.

Although the Han family head was also a Grandmaster, there was still a gap in their abilities, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

"Elder Qian, please finish this quickly," Yun Qingshan urged. "With the strength of the three of us, we may not be able to severely wound him. If you can't defeat him soon, we might be stuck here!"

Qianqiuzi felt helpless. He hadn't intended to get involved, but since Yun Qingshan had said so, it would be improper for him to continue holding back.

In that instant, Qianqiuzi switched from defense to offense, moving at extreme speed towards the Han family head.

The Han family head repeatedly retreated, finding it difficult to parry. In the face of such formidable power, he ultimately couldn't resist. However, he was also a Grandmaster, and though he tried his best to evade, he was unharmed.

But suddenly, Yun Qingshan disengaged and struck the Han family head's back with a palm, not holding anything back.

"Grandpa, be careful!"

Han Qiushui cried out, his heart filled with anxiety. Although his grandfather had broken through to Grandmaster, he hadn't reached the highest realm, and facing such a sneak attack, how could he withstand it.

Boom...

With a loud explosion, the Han family head was sent flying, creating waves on the water's surface. He crashed heavily into a water column by the shores of Qingzhou Lake, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Grandpa!"

Han Qiushui paid no mind to anything else and surged forward, bringing the Han family head under the Twin Towers. His eyes were bloodshot. He had never imagined that the esteemed second in command of the Yun family would launch a sneak attack from behind.

Qianqiuzi looked slightly embarrassed and glanced at Yun Qingshan but said nothing more. Yun Qingshan's actions were likely to be deemed contemptible by others.

Lu Fan, having repelled the two family heads, looked at the injured Elder Han, a surge of anger welling up. "Yun Qingshan, you old scoundrel, you actually attacked from the shadows! You call yourself a martial artist!"

"Why not?" Yun Qingshan sneered. "The victor is always right, the defeated are always wrong. Today, you will die unjustly, and who will remember my actions then!"

"Indeed, martial arts are about victory and defeat!" Zhao family head said coldly. "Now that Elder Han is severely injured and can no longer fight, with the four of us against you, how can you possibly resist!"

Lu Fan stood firm on the water's surface, his eyes filled with killing intent. Even facing four Grandmasters, he showed no fear.

On the river surface by Qingzhou Lake, many martial arts experts from Jiangnan watched with concern, wondering how Lu Fan could remain so composed facing four Grandmasters alone.

Unfortunately, their strength was not sufficient to intervene. Though they had no prior dealings with Lu Fan, he represented the martial arts of Jiangnan and was a banner for the region. If he were to fall, Jiangnan would likely have no more capable individuals, and they would be looked down upon by people from other regions.

"This old man is useless, useless!" Elder Han spat blood. "I have failed Lord Lu for the kindness he has shown the Han family!"

"Grandpa, please don't speak anymore," Han Qiushui's eyes welled up with tears.

Han Yunhai stepped forward and pressed a few points on Elder Han, stopping the bleeding, but his face was filled with worry. Without Elder Han's support, Lu Fan would have to fight alone, and he knew the dangers involved all too well.

It was a pity that despite the resources Lu Fan had provided him, he still hadn't broken through to Grandmaster. Otherwise, he could have helped Lu Fan resist.

"Truly a dying struggle!" Yun Bei sneered. "Facing four Grandmasters and still wanting to fight alone, what a fantasy."

"As expected of Master Lu of Jiangnan," Yun Yiyi said coldly. "He can remain so calm even when facing four Grandmasters. Unlike you, who knelt before others, you have brought disgrace to our Yun family!"

Upon hearing this, the Yun family members all looked at Yun Bei with disdain and anger. Recalling the earlier scene, they also felt it was quite inappropriate.

Although Lu Fan was powerful, Yun Bei, as the young master of the Yun family, had been so terrified that he had knelt down, showing no backbone. Now, he was boasting arrogantly, which was hard to watch.

In contrast, Lu Fan remained full of fighting spirit even when facing four Grandmasters.

"Aunt, I am the young master of the Yun family," Yun Bei frowned. "As my aunt, how can you speak of me like this in front of everyone!"

"I am merely stating facts. Precisely because you are my nephew, I should admonish you," Yun Yiyi stated plainly. "How can the future head of the Yun family be subservient to others, especially in public?"

Yun Bei's expression turned grim, but he didn't argue. He knew very well that continuing to bicker would be of no benefit to him.

"I think this old gentleman is quite seriously injured!" Li Qing frowned. "Regardless, he is an injured person, and I cannot stand by and watch."

With that, Li Qing walked towards Han Qiushui.

"What do you want to do?"

Little White Dragon spoke, blocking Li Qing's path. "It's best not to act rashly, or you'll regret it."

"I am a doctor from the Divine Doctor's Hall. Elder Han's condition is serious. If he isn't treated promptly, even if he recovers, he will likely have lingering issues," Li Qing stated directly. "Please believe me, I would never do anything untoward in front of an injured person."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yun Bei's face turned ashen. "Li Qing, don't you forget, you are aligned with our Yun family. How can you treat them!"

"A doctor's heart is benevolent, it knows no friend or foe," Li Qing stated plainly. "I am not aligned with the Yun family; I hope you don't misunderstand. Today's events have nothing to do with me."

"Aunt, why aren't you saying anything?" Yun Bei's face was ashen.

"He is speaking the truth!" Yun Yiyi nodded. "What do you want me to say?"

"He is helping the Han family head, which means he is going against the Yun family," Yun Bei frowned.
