Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Duel in the Ten-Mile Willow Forest

"I’m already aware of the matter; if there’s nothing else, you may leave now. And send me Fang Bai’s information to look at later..."

Wang Huashan said with a sigh, then waved his hand.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable power.

"Yes, I understand."

Wang Jingzhong felt as if he had been granted amnesty and slowly rose to leave the bamboo house.

"Inside the bamboo house, the aura released by the old master was so oppressive that I could barely breathe. It seems that the old master’s strength has improved considerably lately!"

Only when Wang Jingzhong reached a spot fifty meters away from the bamboo house did he finally take a long, relieving breath, a hint of joy on his face.

Wang Huashan, a mid-level Profound Rank martial artist and an important member of ’Dragon Guard’ from Huaxia’s Xuan Group, could deter the petty, and as long as he lived, no one would dare to easily provoke the Wang Family.

In other words, the stronger Wang Huashan was, the more stable the Wang Family’s status in Huaxia.

Before long, detailed information about Fang Bai was placed in front of Wang Huashan inside the bamboo house.

Wang Huashan picked up the information and read through it word by word, frowning deeper the more he read.

"To injure two initial Profound Rank martial artists with a single move... Fang Bai’s strength cannot be underestimated! Hmph, that fool Wang Dong has brought big trouble to the Wang Family!"

After a while, Wang Huashan put down the information, his gaze shifting towards the bamboo forest outside the window, his expression changing uncertainly.

"Although Feng Lian and Dong’er were wrong first, Fang Bai’s actions were excessive; he clearly doesn’t regard the Wang Family in his eyes! Well then, it’s been years since I’ve fought with anyone, it might be good to exercise these old bones! I hope this matter can be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction!"

Wang Huashan murmured to himself, his presence surging, his eyes gleaming sharply - he looked nothing like an octogenarian.

......

"Tonight at 6:30, meet me at the Willow Forest ten miles to the West Suburb to settle our grievances. Wang Huashan from Yanjing’s Wang Family awaits your honored presence!"

That very afternoon, when Fang Bai arrived at his office in Yanjing Hospital, he found a note under the tea cup on his desk, which bore these words.

"Wang Huashan from the Wang Family?"

Fang Bai picked up the note and glanced at it, then a scornful smile played on his lips.

This "invitation" from Wang Huashan must have been delivered while he was out of the hospital, otherwise it wouldn’t have escaped his notice.

Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.

After becoming an enemy of the Wang Family, Fang Bai also gathered some information about them through various channels, focusing particularly on the martial artists of the Wang Family.

Compared with other powerful clans, the Wang Family may not have significant influence in the political and business arenas, but they do have numerous, rather strong Ancient Martial Cultivators, which is why they are regarded as a top-tier noble family.

It seems that the Wang Family is connected with some Ancient Martial Sects in the secular world. Many young family members are sent to these sects from childhood to cultivate, and upon mastering their skills, they return to serve and safeguard the family’s interests.

Over the years, the Wang Family has produced a number of martial artists with good qualifications and talent, especially Wang Huashan, who stands out the most.

At forty, Wang Huashan had already become an initial-level Profound Rank martial artist, and at sixty, he broke through to the mid-level Profound Rank, causing a sensation in the secular Ancient Martial World and bringing the Wang Family’s influence and prestige to a peak.

Now, although Wang Huashan is well over eighty, he’s still vigorous and full of life. Even though he hasn’t managed to advance to a higher level, it’s said that he has reached the pinnacle of the mid-level Profound Rank.

Perhaps just a small epiphany is all it would take for Wang Huashan to become a high-rank Profound Level martial artist.

However, given that Wang Huashan is already advanced in age, with diminished vitality and not as quick-witted as he once was, achieving that epiphany to advance in rank is immensely difficult.

"Wang Huashan is the Wang Family’s top expert. If I can handle him, the Wang Family should become more compliant, right? It’s a pity, though, that a mid-level Profound Rank martial artist is still far beneath me, so I can’t enjoy a satisfyingly fierce battle!"

Fang Bai sighed inwardly with regret, as he truly wished he could have a battle with a formidable opponent of equal strength, for it was through such a fierce battle that he could comprehend the arcane mysteries of the Martial Dao and boost his own power.

With a slight vibration of his finger, the "invitation" sent by Wang Huashan instantly turned to dust, floating down into the wastebasket.

After being busy all afternoon, at around half-past five, Fang Bai changed his clothes and was about to leave when a fragrant breeze wafted by, and Su Linglong appeared in front of him again.

"Fang Bai, one of our female colleagues in the nursing department is celebrating her birthday tonight, and she has invited us to have dinner at the ’Mirror Lake Hotel’. Could you come with me? Everyone... everyone is bringing their boyfriends..."

Su Linglong said with a blush, her large eyes filled with anticipation.

Since Su Linglong came to Yanjing Hospital for her internship, she instantly became the most beautiful scenery in the hospital, and the unmarried male doctors, as if injected with chicken blood, pursued her tirelessly.

Su Linglong was so tired of being harassed by those male doctors that she simply implied she already had a boyfriend, and that person was Fang Bai.

Once the news spread, the number of male doctors harassing her immediately dropped by more than half.

What could they do? Fang Bai was not only skilled in medicine but also had good relations with the Lu Family.

Provoking Fang Bai might not be a big deal, but provoking the Lu Family would lead to big trouble, so many of the more self-aware male doctors chose to back off.

However, there was still a small group of male doctors who, like moths to a flame, kept chasing after Su Linglong with the mindset of both being unmarried.

Every morning Su Linglong went to work, she would receive many flowers and love letters, but these, without exception, all ended up in the trash can outside.

"Once you’ve tasted the vastness of the sea, it’s hard to return to the streams."

Having met a divine man like Fang Bai, ordinary men in the secular world couldn’t catch Su Linglong’s eye anymore.

"When does your dinner start?"

Fang Bai glanced at the time and asked.

"Seven o’clock. Why? Do you have plans tonight?"

Su Linglong looked at Fang Bai’s expression and asked cautiously.

"Hmm, I have a personal matter to attend to..."

Seeing the evident disappointment on Su Linglong’s face, Fang Bai smiled and added, "But don’t worry, I will try to finish my business as quickly as possible and aim to arrive at the hotel you’ve booked by seven o’clock... ’Mirror Lake Hotel’, right? Okay, I’ve got it!"

Fang Bai’s scheduled meeting time with Wang Huashan was six-thirty. If Wang Huashan was planning to resolve the conflict between them through force, Fang Bai believed he could easily defeat his opponent.

As a middle-ranking Profound Level and one roughly equivalent to a middle-ranking Earth Level, there was a massive difference in their realms, and they were not even on the same level.

Even if Wang Huashan had set an ambush in the willow forest of the West Suburb, Fang Bai wasn’t the least bit afraid. He planned to bring the Lightning Mink with him, and once on-site, let the little creature patrol around the willows. If they encountered an ambush, it would take care of it.

With man and marten working together, as long as they didn’t come across a Heaven Level Martial Artist, Fang Bai was confident he could deal with the situation with ease.

Hearing this, Su Linglong’s spirits lifted, and she cheerfully said, "Great, then I’ll wait for you at the hotel entrance. Remember, no backing out!"

"No backing out!"

"Then I’m going now! You’d better hurry up with your errand!"

After saying goodbye to Fang Bai, Su Linglong turned around and left with graceful steps.

As for what private matter Fang Bai had to attend to, he didn’t say and Linglong didn’t ask.

Su Linglong was a wise woman; she knew that women who clung to their boyfriends every moment were not as popular as those who gave men enough personal space.
