The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: The Ancient Martial Crown Prince!
Master?

Yan Pianpian felt a complicated knot of emotions…

Right now, it seemed that Huang Xiaolong had indeed quelled the bloody slaughter. The banquet atmosphere was so harmonious, it was as if everybody was having a jovial merry time together.

Moreover, apart from Yan Pianpian, none of the others seemed to see any flaws or mistakes!

Huang Xiaolong, his methods were so bewitching! So devilish! So divine!

Now, Yan Pianpian’s feelings for Huang Xiaolong, apart from admiration, were mostly fear and trepidation, fear to the extreme! Even though she was a martial arts Grandmaster, whenever she faced Huang Xiaolong, she felt a sense of helplessness, a sense of despair, just like an ant facing an ancient mythic beast!

Yan Pianpian had never been so afraid of a person before!

However… the proud divine maiden of the prestigious Yan family, serving someone else as a maid, that was just unacceptable. If the higher-ups in her family found out about it, they would certainly be furious!

“Thi…this…” Yan Pianpian stammered. “You… you erased everyone’s memories?”

“Yes, I erased some of their memories.” Huang Xiaolong cheerfully said while munching on delicious food. “Do you want to try it? I can help you erase a few days’ worth of memories.”

“No! Don’t! You… you stop your mischief…” Yan Pianpian recoiled in horror.

“Ha~~~ You are scared?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Yan Pianpian with a playful gaze. “I’m not scared you’ll tell others about this because, no one would ever believe what you say.”

Yan Pianpian was stunned.

Exactly, if she told people that most of the Gao Family’s members, including the old master, were all just paper-people, people would think she had gone crazy due to overindulgence in her martial arts training.

Similarly, if she told people that everyone present today had been mind-controlled, and had a portion of their memories erased, people would laugh and call her a lunatic…

“So, admit your defeat gracefully, soon call me Master, I want to hear it.” Huang Xiaolong teased with a playful smile.

Yan Pianpian had her pearly white teeth clenching her lower lip, her pretty flushed face was a mixed expression of embarrassment and hesitation, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

Just then—

“Master, you came too?” Lin Zicong and Lin Jing walked up with surprise written all over their faces.

“Little Long, you are truly something. How did you sneak in? We didn’t see you earlier.” Lin Jing looked worried.

“Oh, today is the old man of the Gao Family’s birthday, he invited me to take a drink in his honor, so I gave him face and came.” Huang Xiaolong replied with a smirk.

“Little Long, be serious, what are you trying to do?” Lin Jing thought Huang Xiaolong was being sarcastic.

“Sister Jing, I really haven’t thought about causing any trouble, do you think I would act recklessly?” Huang Xiaolong looked innocent.

“Hahaha~~~ Master Long!” The paper figure of the old master of the Gao family, holding a wine cup, along with the paper figure of Gao Tianxiang, were actually walking straight towards Huang Xiaolong.

“Little Long! Stay composed! Don’t be impulsive!” Lin Jing urgently signaled Huang Xiaolong.

Lin Zicong gave the paper figure of the old master of the Gao family a murderous stare and said in a low voice. “Master, how should we handle this? When it’s time to take action, give us a signal and I’ll capture the old fellow! As they say, ‘capture the leader to capture the thieves’, once we get hold of the old man, the entire Gao family will be in check and dare not to act rashly!”

“What’s the fuss about?” Huang Xiaolong blurted out at Lin Zicong. “Didn’t you notice how polite they are being towards me?”

The old man from the Gao Family came over, with sincerity etched all over his face. He said to Huang Xiaolong, “Master Long, your presence honors our Gao Family! There was a misunderstanding between you and our Gao Family earlier… Today, using this opportunity, I personally want to apologize to you… I hope you can be generous and overlook our past. Tianxiang, it’s all because of you. Why are you not kneeling and kowtowing to Master Long?”

Without a second word, Gao Tianxiang knelt down and began to kowtow loudly to Huang Xiaolong.

Lin Jing and Lin Zicong were dumbstruck by this spectacle!

“Oh… alright, no need to kowtow anymore. From now on, there are no hard feelings between the Gao Family and I,” Huang Xiaolong said casually.

“Thank you for your grace, Master Long! To compensate for the errors made by our family, I… I’ll transfer a part of our family’s assets to you. I mean it from the bottom of my heart,” said the old man of the Gao Family with sincerity.

Upon hearing that, Yan Pianpian shivered with fear. ‘This guy is ruthless! Not only did he destroy a family, but he’s also planning to swallow the assets of the Gao Family… How mercilessly cruel…’

“Forget it, I don’t need the assets of your Gao Family. Anyway, I’m not interested. When I need money, I’ll just ask you,” Huang Xiaolong said impatiently, waving his hand. “You should go serve the others. I haven’t finished eating, so I’m going to continue my meal.”

The old man from the Gao Family and Gao Tianxiang scampered away.

“No way! Little Long, what did you do to bewitch the Gao Family? How did you get the senior member of the Gao Family to behave like your servant?” Lin Jing was completely speechless. “This script doesn’t make sense!”

“Sister Jing, I’ve got charm. The Gao Family was touched by it and they repented, changed their ways, and chose the path of righteousness,” Huang Xiaolong said with a proud smile.

After lunch, Yan Pianpian whispered to Huang Xiaolong. “Come here, I need to talk to you.”

The two of them headed to a quiet, deserted gazebo in the Gao family villa area.

“Yes, that’s right. I lost… but I am in a tough situation,” Yan Pianpian confessed quietly.

“You want to go back on your word?” Huang Xiaolong teased.

“No… No, that’s not it! Hear me out… If I become your maidservant, it would bring great shame upon my family, the Yan Family. The higher-ups in my family… They won’t allow it… This would lead to disputes. We Yan Family are a truly old martial arts family whose legacy is yet to fall, we cannot be compared with the Gao family…”

“Are you threatening me?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

“No… That’s not what I meant…” Yan Pianpian bit her lip, “Even if my family overlooks this issue, my… my… my fiancé… with his pride, he wouldn’t let you off easily.”

“Fiancé?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback. “You have a fiancé? I thought you never had a boyfriend before?”

“This… This marriage was arranged when I was young. My… My fiancé is a man of great influence,” said Yan Pianpian, her clear eyes showing no sign of deceit. “There exist certain old martial arts families in Huaxia that preserve their legacies. Sun Family in Binhai, for example, doesn’t qualify as an old martial arts family because their lineage is too weak and lacks many crucial elements. There are only ten true old martial arts families, my Yan family being the seventh.”

Everything Yan Pianpian was saying was news to Huang Xiaolong, who found it extremely intriguing.

“My fiancé is from the Xuanyuan Family,” Yan Pianpian revealed with a tinge of awe in her eyes. “The Xuanyuan Family is regarded as the first among the ten ancient martial arts families in Huaxia… My fiancé is Xuanyuan Ba.”

Seeing the puzzled look on Huang Xiaolong’s face, Yan Pianpian began to get anxious. “Xuanyuan Ba is the most brilliant talent of the Xuanyuan Family’s generation. He’s outstanding and ranks first among the young generation of the ten ancient martial arts families. He is known as the Crown Prince of martial arts! He is a real genius! At the age of eighteen, he formed the Taizi Party, which has followers all around the world, intimidating lands near and far… I am his fiancée…”

“So what?” Huang Xiaolong asked, clearly confused.

“Don’t you get it! If… if I become your maid, it… it would mean putting you in danger!” Yan Pianpian retorted angrily. “Even though I’ve never met Xuanyuan Ba, he’s known for his extreme pride. If he finds out that his fiancée has become someone’s maid, he… he won’t let you get away with it…”
