Azure Heaven Saber
Chapter 616 - 616 180 Too Much

Chapter 616: Chapter 180: Too Much Chapter 616: Chapter 180: Too Much The Divine Doctor is back.

This news, like the wind with legs, swiftly swept across the upper layer of Yuezhou City.

The common people at the lower level did not notice much, because the words “Divine Doctor” were far beyond their reach.

But for the elites, especially for the high-grade martial artists, the return of the Divine Doctor is of monumental significance.

The most evident proof is the complete recovery of all the injured, dangerously ill and even dying soldiers in the army and members of the Rainbow Heavenly Clothes.

Even those with internal injuries, previously confirmed to be permanently incapacitating, have also miraculously recovered. What this represents and what it implies doesn’t need any questioning, does it?

For martial art practitioners, often the permanence of irrecoverable internal injuries is much more frightening than death itself. The former signifies the end of progress and a life of weakness in the face of challenges, whereas the latter is just a passing moment.

Leopard Elder made it his business to find He Bibiqu at the earliest.

“Please inform Lord He that Old Leopard from the Universe Building seeks audience.”

What the hell!

The guard was taken aback and rushed in to deliver the message.

Leopard Elder of Universe Building is now a figure of much higher stature than before. He was previously simply the owner of the Universe Building and was a mysterious entity. However, after the incident in Yuezhou City, he and He Bibiqu became the city’s saviors. Rumors circulate of his formidable powers. With his usual elusive demeanor, his request for an audience with Elder He is indeed noteworthy.

It’s clear that Lord He’s might has shaken the world!

While the guard went in to report, He Bibiqu was scolding He Xiangming—

“Look at yourself, you seem shrewd and capable in the day-to-day, but in reality, you’re as dumb as a pig! Tell me, aren’t you as dumb as a pig?”

Spittle was flying onto He Xiangming’s face as he spoke.

Ever since He Bibiqu conscripted her for labor, He Xiangming hadn’t been able to return to her post for several days. A young maiden was being treated like a hard laborer.

He Xiangming didn’t possess the same level of cultivation as Dong Xiaoyan, and the Beast Taming Sect’s techniques weren’t known for combat. After these few days, she was nearly worked to death.

At this moment, she slumped to the ground, the vitality drained from her face.

Even though she was from the Beast Taming Sect and Chief of Yuezhou City, she was helpless against the strong pressure from He Bibiqu. The Beast Taming Sect didn’t dare raise an objection and just allowed He Bibiqu to oppress her.

One reason was his high position and influence, which the Beast Taming Sect didn’t want to provoke, but the main reason was that he was her uncle, her biological uncle. Scolding one’s younger family member was his prerogative, so why interfere?

Inside, He Xiangming felt bitter, even more so than being soaked in a decoction of bitter herbs.

Her grandpa was in the sect and had recently paid her a visit, intending to defend her. But he didn’t even get to say a few words before being scolded by her uncle.

“What have you raised your granddaughter into?!”

He Bibiqu berated his older brother: “If the eldest brother comes to know about how you’ve raised this girl, he will skin you alive!”

He Xiangming’s grandpa left that same night.

“I leave Xiangming to you. She will continue as Chief of Tiannan District.”

“Bullshit Chief!”

“I don’t want to be responsible anymore.”

“You’ve raised a complete idiot in over twenty years of nurturing, what’s the point in you handling it! Don’t you dare argue back, or I’ll teach you a lesson, you ungrateful man!”

Shoot!~

Without uttering another word, Elder He left. When he returned to the sect and relayed the situation, the sect was at a loss.

For disciplining a relative of the same bloodline, even the Master was left with no room to intervene. After all, even her own grandfather couldn’t manage it, where did outsiders come into the picture?

“Let’s just leave it.”

Actually, the higher-ups of the Beast Taming Sect didn’t want to get involved either. Old Master He was a well-connected official, respected even by the Demon Emperor. Who would want to interfere in his matters?

Furthermore, talking about the issue in-depth, considering He Xiangming’s mistake of stealing from the Serpent King’s possessions for personal gain, which even provoked the serpent clan’s mad revenge and caused the sect to suffer heavy losses—someone had to take the blame!

And the person to bear the blame couldn’t be anyone other than He Xiangming, the direct offender. She would have certainly been punished, one way or another.

But under the current circumstances, with Lord He’s action, the sect was powerless and had no say in the matter.

After all, we’re all old foxes. Do you think the higher-ups of Beast Taming Sect do not understand what is going on in He Bibiqu’s mind?

“Let Lord He handle everything!” — This was the opinion of the higher-ups of Beast Taming Sect.

They handed over the wrong-doing child to her own grandfather for punishment – thereby making clear the position of the Beast Taming Sect.

This is the manifestation of politics, the aesthetics of compromise, convenience for both parties and… whatever!

Elder He also breathed a sigh of relief.

With these series of maneuvers, his granddaughter was safe for now.

But what he could never have anticipated is that the punishment under He Bibiqu was just as severe as it would have been had the Beast Taming Sect decided to punish her.

For all these days, He Xiangming had been doing hard labor, collapsed in exhaustion the moment she had a chance to rest. Then she’d have to face He Bibiqu’s thunderous reprimands. It was a misery beyond words.

This time, she had just finished a day of chores and finally had a break.

Yes, it was also the time for Chief He to receive a scolding.
