Chapter 428: I am not a savior!
Take a look at Chapter 428 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor": Su Linglong knew that there were many outstanding women around Fang Bai, and although she... See what happens next!
Su Linglong knew that there were many outstanding women around Fang Bai, and although she had decided to openly compete with the other women, she still felt a bit nervous and slightly resentful when she saw a new, equally outstanding woman appear by Fang Baiâs side.However, Su Linglong soon realized that she was overthinking it.
Although Fang Bai and the woman were sitting in the same office, there was absolutely no communication between them, nor any secret glances or exchange of ambiguous signals, as if two strangers were sitting together.
"Linglong, youâre here?"
When he saw Su Linglong come in, Fang Bai put down the tea and newspaper in his hands, glanced at the Dragon Maiden on the sofa, and said with a touch of annoyance, "Miss Long, I have something to discuss with my friend. Could you please excuse us for a moment?"
The Dragon Maiden paid no attention to Fang Bai; she looked at Su Linglong and then stood up, smiling as she extended her hand to Su Linglong, saying, "You must be Su Linglong, right? My name is Dragon Maiden, and Iâm an old acquaintance of Su Fu, the butler of the Su Family."
"Ah, you really know Butler Su?"
Su Linglong said with a look of surprise.
Su Fu was the Su Familyâs old butler, possessing the strength of a Yellow Level Martial Artist, and was also the master of Su Yifei.opic came to a temporary halt, Su Linglong asked curiously.
"Yes, there is something very important!"
The Dragon Maiden put away her smile and said in all seriousness, "This matter relates to Huaxiaâs future stability, development, and long-lasting peace..."
Su Linglong, seeing the Dragon Maiden speaking so seriously, was startled and asked, "Whatâs happening? Is there some significant event about to occur?"
Fang Bai, somewhat annoyed yet amused, said to the side, "Linglong, donât let her exaggerate the danger!"
"When have I ever exaggerated? What Iâm saying is the truth!" the Dragon Maiden retorted earnestly.
She continued with conviction, "With your abilities, if you were to join the Dragon Guard, how many people in need could you help? How many lives could you save? Isnât this closely linked to the stability of Huaxia?"
"It sounds as though the Earth canât spin without me... Iâm certainly not a savior!"
Fang Bai said, shrugging his shoulders.
"A physician has a compassionate heart, and a martial artist has the heart of a knight-errant. The greatest act of chivalry is to serve the country and its people. As a master who practices both medicine and martial arts, Divine Doctor Fang should unequivocally stand up to uphold fairness and justice!"
"In my opinion, martial artists should focus on pursuing the Martial Dao and should not interfere too much in mundane affairs. Otherwise, it only leads to greater unrest and chaos. Besides, I am a very selfish person â matters that donât concern me, I am too lazy to bother with!"
"Really? Then who was the one who stepped forward to save a person attempting to leap from a building? Who was the one who, upon seeing an elderly person fall, rushed to help them up? Who was the one who took a little girl, who had lost her parents, to the police station? There are many such incidents, but I wonât list them all. I donât believe a selfish person would do these good deeds!"
"Those were just coincidences that I stumbled upon and dealt with as they came. Besides, such trivial matters can hardly bear any relevance to serving the country and upholding justice and fairness, wouldnât you agree?"
During these days, aside from sleeping at night, the Dragon Maiden had been following Fang Bai almost constantly and had witnessed many of his deeds herself.
"Itâs the small day-to-day deeds that best reveal a personâs character and nature. If Divine Doctor Fang pays attention to the fate of common people, then I believe he would not stand idly by when it comes to matters crucial for Huaxiaâs stability, right?"
The Dragon Maiden was articulate and persuasive, but Fang Bai did not wish to argue with her. He simply stayed silent, assuming the unshakable demeanor of "let the storm rage onâI stand firm."
Having listened for a while, Su Linglong finally understood what was going on between the Dragon Maiden and Fang Bai. She found it amusing to see one insisting on a yes to stay, and the other adopting an indifferent attitude.
Although Su Linglong thought it would be good for Fang Bai to join the Dragon Guard, she knew he was a person of strong convictions. If he did not wish to do something, no one could persuade him.
In the evening, upon returning to the villa they were staying at, Su Linglong asked the old butler Su Fu about the Dragon Guard. Su Fu was amazed to hear that the Dragon Maiden herself had personally sought out Fang Bai, even resorting to persistence and strong persuasion.
After all, the Dragon Maiden was the granddaughter of Dragon Guardâs leader, Long Jingtian; she only personally stepped in to invite influential elders and masters from the Ancient Martial World under Long Jingtianâs direction.
Su Fu knew Fang Bai was powerful, but he hadnât expected him to be esteemed to the extent that warranted the Dragon Maidenâs personal invitation. This surely indicated Fang Bai held an incredibly important place in the heart of Dragon Guardâs leader, Long Jingtian.
That night, Su Linglong learned much about the Dragon Guard from Su Fu, gaining a deeper understanding of this organization primarily composed of Huaxiaâs Ancient Martial World martial artists.
Undoubtedly an intelligent woman, the Dragon Maiden, seeing that she couldnât persuade Fang Bai, and knowing the close relationship between Su Linglong and Fang Bai, stopped pestering him. She instead adopted a "roundabout rescue strategy," aiming to build a good relationship with Su Linglong.
Although Su Linglong was naive at heart, she understood the Dragon Maidenâs purpose. Since the Dragon Maiden was a member of the Dragon Guard and Su Linglong had a favorable impression of the Dragon Guard, she didnât mind becoming friends with the Dragon Maiden. However, she made it clear that she was powerless regarding Fang Baiâs decision; if the Dragon Maiden wanted to sway Fang Bai, she would have to do it herself.
