Chapter 220 - Breakup!

Zhao Jianfeng’s face turned rather unsightly.

“Why?”

Gao Yingxiang said coldly:

“Old Gao, you’ve weathered many storms.

How can you ask such a naïve question?”

“You surely know who the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian is.”

“With the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian coming out of seclusion, all seven major families in the provincial city have extended olive branches to him.

At this critical juncture, the Gao Family cannot afford any mishaps.”

“I have found out that Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian has come to Yancheng to eliminate someone named Zhou Yu.”

“While Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian is still unaware, you must sever all ties with Zhou Yu.

If the Heavenly Master finds out about your relationship with Zhou Yu, he will surely direct his anger towards you, subsequently affecting my Gao Family.”

“Have I made myself clear?”

Gao Yingxiang added coldly.

Zhao Jianfeng’s face turned pale.

“Mr.

Gao, I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s the best choice to place all bets on Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian.”

“Mr.

Gao, you might not know.

Zhou Yu, despite his young age, possesses unparalleled medical skills and his mastery of martial arts is extremely high.

He is a rare genius…”

“Shut up.”

Gao Yingxiang cut off Zhao Jianfeng abruptly.

“There are many young geniuses in this world, but how many are there like Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian?”

“I warn you, the Gao Family’s stance towards Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian is to try by every possible means to win him over, and even if we cannot, we must not offend him.”

“This is the bottom line.”

Gao Yingxiang’s tone was indisputable.

Zhao Jianfeng’s face turned thoroughly unsightly.

Gao Yingxiang continued:

“Since the incidents of the past have already occurred, I won’t delve into them anymore.

Now, prepare a generous gift and follow me to meet Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian, to apologize and show the Gao Family’s position.”

Zhao Jianfeng fell silent.

He exchanged glances with Zhao Heng, their eyes communicating briefly, then, taking a deep breath, he said:

“Mr.

Gao, on this matter, my Zhao Family, regrettably, cannot comply.”

Gao Yingxiang’s expression darkened.

“Zhao Jianfeng!

What did you say?”

Zhao Jianfeng spoke firmly:

“Mr.

Gao, my Zhao Family will never abandon Zhou Yu.”

Gao Yingxiang stared coldly at Zhao Jianfeng.

“If the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian, who always likes to eradicate the roots, knows you choose to die alongside Zhou Yu, then go ahead.

From today onwards, the Gao Family will no longer protect your Zhao Family.”

After saying this, Gao Yingxiang huffed coldly, stood up, and strode away.

Zhao Jianfeng watched Gao Yingxiang’s retreating figure with a complex expression.

This time, his Zhao Family had thoroughly offended the Gao Family to death.

If Zhou Yu is indeed killed by Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian this time, then the Zhao Family is finished too.

However, Zhao Jianfeng had no regrets.

He picked up his phone and made a call to Zhou Yu.

“Zhou Yu, Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian has already arrived in Yancheng.”

Zhou Yu nodded and said:

“Old Zhao, I already know.”

Zhao Jianfeng said solemnly:

“Zhou Yu, I’m sorry.

I wanted to ask Gao Yingxiang for help, but he is unwilling to oppose Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian.

My Zhao Family has broken with Gao Yingxiang.

This time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you much.”

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

“Who is Gao Yingxiang?”

“He is a member of the Gao Family in the provincial city, and also the main support of our Zhao Family in Yancheng.

His opinion fully represents that of the Family Head of the Gao Family.”

“I see.”

Zhou Yu gave a slight smile.

“Old Zhao, you’ve broken with the Gao Family for me.

That’s not a worthwhile trade.

What if I really can’t defeat Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian?

You’d be dragged down too…”

Zhao Jianfeng said spiritedly:

“Zhou Yu, my Zhao Family isn’t ungrateful.

Thanks to you, this old life of mine and the Zhao Family have been preserved until today.

Having lived this long is already a profit.

If need be, we’ll die together.”

A warm current surged through Zhou Yu’s heart.

Old Master Zhao Jianfeng, to an extent, was quite like the old man.

“You are too kind, Elder Zhao,” someone said.

“A mere Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian is not enough to have us all die together,” he added.

Zhou Yu smiled and said.

The Fang Family.

Fang Chuan and his father Fang Jianming had invited the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian to the Fang Family.

Returning to his home after nearly half a month, Fang Jianming couldn’t contain his excitement.

Shortly after their arrival at the Fang Family, another car drove into their residence.

The car door opened, and a man in his fifties stepped out.

Upon seeing this person, Fang Chuan immediately knelt down to greet him.

“Second Uncle Master!”

This man was Fang Chuan’s second uncle master and a fellow disciple of Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian, Huang Li.

Huang Li nodded.

“I’ve been in retreat refining medicine all this time.

I had no idea such a huge event had happened in your family.

This Zhou Yu has been made to sound quite remarkable.

Is he really that incredible?

Even the elder brother is alarmed?”

Fang Chuan, with tears in his eyes, said:

“Second Uncle Master, this young man is indeed formidable.

Both Elder Brother Yong and Uncle Qian died at his hands.”

“Master has already agreed to help me avenge them.

Now, I am asking you, Second Uncle Master, to treat my father’s legs.”

Huang Li nodded again.

“Lead the way, let’s have a look,” he commanded.

Fang Chuan led Huang Li to Fang Jianming’s room.

Fang Jianming was lying in bed, struggling to get up.

Huang Li waved his hand for him to stay lying down, then began to examine him.

After a thorough examination, Huang Li said:

“Meridian Sealing Technique!”

“A very clever Meridian Sealing Technique.”

“Was this done by that Zhou Yu?”

Fang Chuan quickly nodded and said:

“Yes.”

“Second Uncle, this Meridian Sealing Technique… can you undo it?”

Huang Li said proudly:

“Of course.”

“Although this Zhou Yu’s Meridian Sealing Technique is somewhat unique, in my view, it can at best be considered decent.”

Saying this, Huang Li began the treatment.

He took out acupuncture needles and started applying them to Fang Jianming’s legs.

Half an hour later, Huang Li put away the silver needles.

“All right, Mr.

Fang, you can try to stand and take a few steps.”

Fang Jianming cautiously got up from the bed, stood up unsteadily, and said:

“I can feel my legs.”

“They’ve recovered, my legs have recovered.”

Fang Jianming, overwhelmed with emotion, began to weep openly.

Seeing his father’s legs recovered, Fang Chuan knelt down once more.

“Thank you, Second Uncle Master.”

Huang Li waved his hand.

“As I see it, this young Zhou Yu is nothing special.”

“Uncle Qian was always overconfident; he must have been careless to have been bested by that kid.”

“However, since elder brother has come down the mountain especially for him, let’s give him a chance to meet his end.”

“Chuan, go tell Zhou Yu that he should hurry to the Fang Family to meet his demise,” he instructed.

Fang Chuan looked excited.

“Yes, Second Uncle Master.”
