Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Invite Him to Join the "Dragon Guard"!

Nangong Ming was killed by Fang Bai, and Sikong Lieyang, the Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect, had no idea. He still thought that after Nangong Ming got a few Wood Element Stones from him, he had already returned to the Hidden Sect, "Ghost Doctor Valley".

The disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect left Yanjing under the leadership of Sikong Lieyang that very morning, returning to their stronghold in the Tianshan Mountains.

Before leaving, Lei Bao, the direct disciple of Sikong Lieyang who had a conflict with Fang Bai not long ago, requested his master to step in and teach Fang Bai a lesson, to regain his own face.

As soon as Sikong Lieyang heard the name "Fang Bai", his face turned green with fear. He grabbed Lei Bao by the collar and sternly asked if he had provoked Fang Bai. Hearing that the two had only a minor conflict, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Ming had warned Sikong Lieyang to stay away from Fang Bai and not to provoke him. At that time, Sikong Lieyang noticed a deep fear in Nangong Ming’s eyes when he spoke.

How could a person who even a distinguished Hidden Sect disciple and Earth Level expert feared, be someone the mere Ghost Doctor Sect could afford to provoke?

Although the conflict between Lei Bao and Fang Bai was minor and not enough to provoke Fang Bai into attacking their doorstep, Sikong Lieyang still decided to leave Yanjing immediately to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In Sikong Lieyang’s eyes, all powerful individuals are ruthless and decisive in killing. Who knows if Fang Bai would suddenly get an urge to show up and cause trouble? If they left too late, they might not be able to leave at all.

Seeing his master’s expression and demeanor, Lei Bao also realized that he had offended someone he should not have and dared not mention anything about regaining face again. He hastily packed his baggage and followed his master back to their stronghold in the Tianshan Mountains, "Ghost Doctor Sect".

......

The conflict between Fang Bai and the Wang Family of Yanjing seemed to have subsided on the surface, but some interested parties were still keeping a close eye on Fang Bai after the incident.

That morning, in a secluded mansion in Yanjing City, a man and a woman wearing loose martial arts uniforms were sitting under an ancient banyan tree at a stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea served by a man in black Zhongshan suit, leisurely chatting, with their conversation revolving around Fang Bai.

The man sitting on the left had a rosy complexion and the youthful appearance of a white-haired elder. From his appearance alone, it was difficult to discern his true age.

The woman sitting opposite the elder was in her early twenties, with cherry lips and rosy cheeks, skin white as snow, and a figure that the loose martial arts uniform could not completely conceal, revealing her slender waist and long legs.

This was undoubtedly a stunningly beautiful young woman. What was most remarkable was that in her eyes, there was a mixture of the unique charm of a woman and the bold spirit of a heroine, giving off a distinctive vibe.

The white-haired, youthful-faced elder had an inconspicuous presence; at first glance, he seemed like an ordinary old man. But upon closer inspection, one would notice an air about him as profound and unfathomable as the depths of the sea.

And the spirited young woman, although she was trying her best to contain her aura, couldn’t completely hide her strength — she was a Martial Artist at the middle stage of the Profound Level.

In the Secular Ancient Martial World, a Martial Artist at the middle stage of the Profound Level was already considered a first-class expert. Wang Huashan of the Wang Family of Yanjing, the "Sea-Calming Divine Needle", had strength that was only comparable to this young woman.

The white-haired, youthful-faced elder and the young woman called each other grandfather and granddaughter, although they had no blood relation.

The young woman grew up following the elder and learned all her skills from her grandfather. Only later did she find out that she had been taken from an orphanage and raised by her grandfather, a child abandoned by her parents.

"The challenge at the Ten Li Willow Grove, defeating Wang Huashan with one move... at the ’World Conference of Traditional Medicine’, giving pointers that ultimately led Wang Miaomiao to win first place in the medical skills competition... This Fang Bai is truly an exceptional talent! Yet, it’s strange, why was he unheard of before?"

Putting down his tea cup, the white-haired, youthful-faced elder twiddled his beard and mused.

"Rumors say that Fang Bai once received teachings from a reclusive master as elusive as a Divine Dragon. Grandfather, do you think this is true or false?"

The young woman leaned on the stone table with her hands propping her chin, blinking with curiosity as she asked.

The elderly man with a youthful face nodded and said, "There’s potential everywhere in this world; it’s not entirely impossible! Otherwise, Fang Bai’s sudden emergence and rapid rise would be completely unexplainable."

"Hmm, if I have the chance, I’ll go find Fang Bai for a little sparring session to see if he’s as formidable as Wang Huashan said."

The young woman rubbed her hands together, an eager look of anticipation on her face.

"Absolutely not!"

The elderly man with a youthful face was startled and said sternly, "You are on par with Wang Huashan in terms of strength; if Fang Bai could defeat Wang Huashan with one move, he could defeat you as well! There are no certainties in a fight, and if you were to get hurt, your grandfather would be heartbroken! Sigh, I’m getting old, and in the future, I’m counting on you to take care of me!"

The young woman chuckled and said, "Grandfather, you’re playing the sympathy card again! National Doctor Hua said last time he checked you that you’re in great health, and you could live for several more decades without a problem! So, you really don’t need to worry about being taken care of right now!"

The elderly man with a youthful face laughed heartily, extended a finger, and playfully tapped the young woman on the forehead, saying, "I’m playing the sympathy card for your own good! You girl, always looking to spar and practice with others. Nowadays in ’Dragon Guard’, apart from a few old fellows who are devoted to their quiet meditations, hasn’t almost everyone sparred with you?"

"Grandfather, you said that martial artists can become stronger through constant battle! I spar with others because I want to become stronger, so that one day I can be like you—the leader of ’Dragon Guard’!"

The young woman waved her arm excitedly as she spoke with a surge of enthusiasm.

"You’re taking words out of context!"

The elderly man with a youthful face rolled his eyes and said irritably, "The continuous advancement and strengthening of a martial artist is influenced by many factors: personal aptitude, cultivation resources, and the understanding of Martial Dao, to name a few... It’s unrealistic to think you can level up solely through constant battle!"

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that! Actually... I’m just really curious and I want to meet Fang Bai to see what kind of freak he is. He’s younger than me, yet so much more powerful... Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll just take a look from afar, I won’t pick a fight with him!"

The young woman said with a mischievous smile.

After thinking it over, the elderly man with a youthful face nodded and said, "That’s fine, I won’t object to you meeting him. But, you must complete a mission for me!"

"A mission? What mission?"

The young woman’s eyes lit up.

"Try your best to persuade Fang Bai to join ’Dragon Guard’!"

......

Lately, Fang Bai had noticed that a pair of eyes seemed to be watching him from the shadows on his way to and from his job at Yanjing Hospital.

Through his Divine Sense Diffusion, Fang Bai found out that not only was he being watched by a young woman, but she was also a middle-ranked Profound Level Martial Artist.

Fang Bai now had many friends, but he also had quite a few adversaries, so he always remained vigilant.

However, the woman watching Fang Bai didn’t seem to bear any ill intent, so Fang Bai didn’t bother with her. Otherwise, he would have already brought her out into the open for a clear explanation.
