Chapter 1494: Chapter 1453: Domineering at Home

The bespectacled man pointed at the tall man in front of him and started cursing, unable to refrain from using the most indecent language. The more Lu Chuan listened, the more he got a headache and said in a low voice, “Stop cursing for a moment and tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you hit him?”

“Doctor Lu Chuan, let this ungrateful bastard speak for himself about what he said that made me hit him! Not only I heard it, but everyone else did too!”

“So, what exactly did you say?”

Lu Chuan turned his gaze to the bespectacled man, who was immediately silenced like a rooster being choked, stammering and evading the question.

“I… I was just complaining a little, and now I can’t even speak?”

“Bullshit! Do you dare say that was just complaining? You directly put a label on Doctor Lu Chuan! What’s the problem with him sending his family away? What does it have to do with you? Look at what’s happening in other cities around! Other places have turned into chaos!

Doctor Lu Chuan is willing to stay and protect us, providing us with a safe place. If you’re not grateful, fine, but to speak ill of Doctor Lu Chuan and his family behind his back—is there any humanity in you? You’re a fucking beast!”

With each word, the man grew angrier, even adding a kick, sending the bespectacled man sprawling to the ground!

“If you don’t want to stay, just get the hell out, nobody’s begging you to be here. When you squeezed in just now, you were more eager than anyone else, and now that your pathetic life is saved, you start pointing fingers at others. What the hell do you think you are?”

“Exactly! When we were coming in, I saw it was this person who shoved a girl down. If it weren’t for Nanqing helping her up, who knows what tragedy might’ve occurred!”

“Seeing his shady behavior, you can tell he’s no good! Why should we save such people? Just kick him out already!”

As the crowd grew more agitated, the bespectacled man’s face turned pale, protesting, “What does it matter to you what I say? Don’t you have the same thoughts? It seems touching that he sent his family away and stayed himself, but don’t forget, he can leave anytime he wants!

What if those people come back, and he just leaves us behind?”

“Then let him leave! Without the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall, we would’ve died just now! Are you the sun that everyone needs to revolve around? Doctor Lu Chuan’s willingness to stay is already benevolence to its fullest extent. People like you should die instead of good people!”

Seeing the tension rising, Lu Chuan quickly intervened to calm everyone.

“Everyone, let’s stop arguing and stay calm. There’s no need to have a big fight over this. Although I sent my family away, I promise I will protect all of you and ensure the safety of Cloud City. Otherwise, why would I bother staying and pretending?

Everyone has the freedom of speech. Whatever he wants to say, he can say it. Even I won’t interfere.”

“Exactly! Doctor Lu Chuan doesn’t mind, so why are you all getting worked up?”

The bespectacled man awkwardly got up and put on his broken glasses, strutting arrogantly, “You all think you’re so capable, why didn’t you fight those people just now? Acting tough in your own nest, what kind of skill is that?”

“Enough, you quiet down, too. The intruders within Cloud City have been eliminated. If you’re so dissatisfied, the door is right there; you can leave anytime, nobody’s stopping you. But if you want to stay here, don’t provoke others.”

“Doctor Lu Chuan, what do you mean by this? Their lives count, but mine doesn’t? Look at what they did to me, see how badly they beat me!”

“Doctor Lu Chuan, tell us, why would you save such an ungrateful person!”

“Get out, get out!”

“Get lost! If you don’t scram, I’ll beat you to death today!”

The barely contained anger flared up again because of the bespectacled man, and this time, Lu Chuan chose to remain silent.

He wasn’t a saint; he saved people out of goodwill. Trying to morally coerce Lu Chuan in this way was simply naive.

“Doctor, Doctor Lu Chuan! Please do something! They are going to kill me!”

“I only heard them asking you to leave, which part implied killing?”

“Throwing me out is as good as killing me!”

“But you just complained about hating it here, didn’t you? Isn’t this a perfect outcome for you?”

Lu Chuan was too lazy to waste more words with such a person. He wasn’t a babysitter and had no reason to meddle in these affairs. As long as he could ensure the safety of those inside the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall from bandits, that was enough.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan turned and left, returning inside the medical hall.

Seeing this, the bespectacled man was in despair.

Before him were the increasingly angry crowd who refused to let him near, and his only shield, Lu Chuan, had chosen to ignore him. One could imagine his fate.

Of course, in the end, most people remained rational, merely driving the man out of the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall without causing serious harm.

The courtyard gradually calmed down, and Lu Chuan finally had the time to organize his thoughts.

So much time had passed, yet there hadn’t been any new bandit invasion in Cloud City, suggesting that the nearby bandits had probably all been dealt with by Thousand Faces. However, what was troubling Lu Chuan was the lack of any news about the Martial Alliance. Ever since the Penglai Immortal Domain incident, the Martial Alliance had been actively in the forefront, stirring up trouble, and now that a crisis had appeared, they suddenly seemed to have played dead?

“Just as expected, they can’t be relied on…”

…

Penglai Immortal Domain, Teaching Peak!

Mu Changchen and Kong Zhaozhao finally arrived, rushing into the hall only to find it littered with bodies, and Kong Yuanliang sitting in the main hall, panting heavily, stained with blood—his own or others’ was uncertain.

Noticing Kong Zhaozhao’s presence, Kong Yuanliang’s eyes brightened suddenly, instinctively wanting to stand, but his physical strength and spiritual power were nearly exhausted.

“Father… are you alright?”

“No worries, just a bit too exhausted, didn’t strain myself. What about you? Did bandits reach Little Frost Peak?”

Kong Zhaozhao nodded, responding, “There were bandits at Little Frost Peak too, but Elder Mu appeared suddenly and saved my life.”

“Elder Mu, I am deeply grateful for my daughter’s safety.”

“Sect Master, your words are too kind. However, the Penglai Immortal Sect is in total chaos, with bandits appearing on each peak. This is obviously a long-planned attack. Does the Sect Master have a countermeasure?”

“I have already sent the Law Transmission Elder to consolidate power, and if that doesn’t work, we may have to ask the three Supreme Elders to come out of seclusion.”

“Hmm… that may be our only choice.”

Mu Changchen sighed, put away the Coiling Dragon Staff, and handed over two elixir pills to Kong Yuanliang.

“Elder Mu, these are…”

“Elixir pills for restoring spiritual power, with excellent efficacy, given to me by Lu Chuan. The Sect Master might as well give it a try.”
