Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 638 - 623: A Man in the World Should Fight for Dignity

"Let’s talk serious business, I’ve also obtained some information about you online, and heard a bit from various people. What exactly is going on with this situation?" Huangfu Jing asked.

Tangyu curled his lips and said, "This matter, you see, is actually quite complicated. But I’ll keep it simple. You should be aware of the basics—I didn’t kill anyone from the Xuanwu Group. Yu Lingfeng dragged me back just to force some information out of me. However, he underestimated me, thinking everything was within his control, thinking that threatening me with death would make me cave in. I can only say he was too naive. In the end, didn’t I walk out safe and sound? And soon, Yu Lingfeng is going to have to apologize to me obediently. Otherwise, he won’t have good days ahead."

Huangfu Jing’s Liu Mei eyebrows couldn’t help but knit together as she found it difficult to understand the meaning behind Tangyu’s words, "What do you mean?"

Although she didn’t interact much with Yu Lingfeng, in the Capital City Yu Lingfeng was indeed a well-known and influential figure, and when it came to personality, Huangfu Jing also knew a bit—considered to be quite a ruthless character. Regarding the incidents with the Yu Family, the uproar had been quite a sensation in the city, boiling and buzzing for a while, and naturally, Huangfu Jing was aware of it. To be honest, Huangfu Jing never liked Yu Lingfeng, always feeling that he was too hypocritical, too ruthless. With Tangyu having fallen into his hands, she really couldn’t understand how Tangyu managed to emerge unscathed, and even said that Yu Lingfeng would have to apologize to him obediently. Judging by his decisive manner, it was clear that Tangyu was not joking. Knowing Tangyu as she did, he would not speak of something unless he was completely sure, so evidently, Tangyu was very confident about this matter.

This made Huangfu Jing even more puzzled.

"Your incident this time really blew up on the internet, and there have even been protests and demonstrations in numerous places. There are even many passionate students of traditional Chinese medicine who have staged strikes and protests in schools. The impact of this matter has been quite unprecedented, so much so that it has alarmed the higher-ups, and I’ve even heard that ’he’ himself was shocked and issued clear directives. From what I understand, it must have been Ministers Lu and He from the Ministry of State Security who went to Yu Lingfeng’s place to demand your release, right? Were they the ones who got you out?" Huangfu Jing’s sharp mind immediately guessed the sequence of events.

Tangyu shook his head with a smile, "Ministers Lu and He did indeed go to Yu Lingfeng to get me out, but their actions were too slow. Or rather, Yu Lingfeng was too fast. If I had waited for them to rescue me, I would have already been dead. When doing things, I never count on others. What I trust most is myself. Since I dared to go with the people from the Xuanwu Group, I was confident I wouldn’t be sending my life away. If I knew it was a death sentence, do you think I would have cooperated and gone with them? You should know my abilities. Honestly, just two members of the Xuanwu Group and a platoon of soldiers might not necessarily be able to kill me. I’ve always valued my life, not easily letting others take it away."

Huangfu Jing looked at Tangyu, realizing she had thought wrong, "Then how did you come out unscathed?"

Tangyu puffed up his chest and fiddled with his hair, looking self-adoring, "Do I even need to say it? Obviously, it’s because of this face of mine, so handsome it’s off the charts, so dashing it’s falling to pieces, commanding and charismatic, loved by all who see me, a face that makes women bloom at the sight. What can I do, being handsome has its privileges. Yu Lingfeng was utterly shocked by my handsomeness, thus feeling ashamed and meekly let me go."

"..."

"Ahem, don’t glare at me. Just joking to lighten the mood, okay? Actually, it’s thanks to this." Tangyu said, taking out the Founding Medal, in front of Huangfu Jing he had nothing to hide, as he completely trusted her.

"Founding Medal!" Seeing the token in Tangyu’s hand, Huangfu Jing also let out a cry of surprise, her eyes widening slightly. She naturally recognized the Founding Medal Token. This was the real Imperial Sword; nobody was allowed to harm a holder of the Founding Medal, otherwise, they would be prosecuted for treason. Even if a holder of the Founding Medal committed a crime, it could only be dealt with by the head of the state and other high-ranking officials, without any interference from other people or departments.

Such privilege, completely above the Xuanwu Group.

"No wonder you said that, it’s really unexpected, you actually have a Founding Medal in hand. No wonder you were so calm and confident. However, where did this Founding Medal come from? I’ve seen your file, and I don’t believe you could have inherited this Founding Medal." Huangfu Jing said.

"Guess." Tangyu said with a smile.

Huangfu Jing pondered for a while before saying, "The Zhang Family in Donglin City, I remember that the Zhang Family’s ancient general was a founding hero, and he possessed a Founding Medal. The Zhang Family has no heirs, only two daughters. You have a very good relationship with Zhang Xiaoxi and Zhang Xiaodong, and you seem to have cured Zhang Xiaodong’s illness. Therefore, the old man from the Zhang Family gave you the Founding Medal, which he had never used once in his life—is that right?"

They say smart women are scary; Tangyu felt this saying wasn’t quite accurate. More precisely, it should be that beautiful smart women are scary. Huangfu Jing was indeed frighteningly smart, able to deduce the truth from a hint of information.

"You’re too scary." Tangyu shook his head.

Huangfu Jing said, "What’s so scary about me? If I were really that frightening, why would you still dare to approach me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll gobble you up?"

"Heh, if you really wanted to gobble me up, I’d be more than willing, how could I be afraid? How about this, I clean myself up nice and scent myself tonight, and deliver myself to your bed for you to ’gobble’ up?" Tangyu joked. The ’eat’ he was talking about, of course, had a different meaning from the ’eat’ Huangfu Jing was referring to; his ’eating’ was actually suggestive.

Huangfu Jing’s face took on a delicate expression, how could she not understand what Tangyu meant, and she gave him a coquettish glare.

"Alright, you guessed it, no fun," Tangyu said.

Huangfu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and continued, "So what do you mean when you say Yu Lingfeng will apologize to you obediently? Based on what I know of Yu Lingfeng, it is absolutely impossible for him to apologize to you. Moreover, he is the great young master of the Yu Family, as well as the deputy head of the Xuanwu Group, with an extremely prestigious status and identity. Such a person, to ask him to apologize, that would be even harder than killing them. Also, although the matter has caused a stir at the top, it’s not because Yu Lingfeng captured you, nor because Yu Lingfeng’s methods were a bit excessive, but entirely because of the impact of the incident. Could it be..."

"Heh, could it be what, you haven’t figured it all out, have you?" Tangyu said with a smile.

"You are using the impact of this incident to pressure Minister Lu, forcing him to report it up the chain. In the end, under the pressure of the situation, they will choose to sacrifice Yu Lingfeng, or that existence might personally order Yu Lingfeng to apologize to you, to quickly settle this matter," Huangfu Jing said.

"You’re so smart it’s over the top. If I end up marrying you someday, I’ll be exhausted, nothing would escape your discerning eyes. But, I do love how smart you are, heh heh," Tangyu said with a silly grin. Huangfu Jing’s Liu Mei also slightly frowned, Tangyu was being very direct and clear, implying that he wanted to marry Huangfu Jing. However, Huangfu Jing’s attitude towards this matter has always been ambiguous, making it hard for people to see through her intentions.

Is it a rejection? It doesn’t seem so, as Huangfu Jing has never spoken words of rejection. Is it a silent acceptance? That doesn’t seem the case either, as Huangfu Jing has never shown any indication, not even a hint.

In terms of inscrutability, Huangfu Jing certainly was one that Tangyu couldn’t figure out. She really was different from other people. With others, at least, Tangyu could see through them, but Huangfu Jing gave Tangyu a sense of being uncontrollable. Perhaps it was this that further spurred Tangyu’s desire to possess her.

Loving someone is actually quite mysterious. Bickering can be love, just as sweetness can be love, they’re just different expressions of love. How to describe Tangyu’s feelings for Huangfu Jing? It might be the kind of situation where the more unattainable she is, the more he desires her. Of course, Tangyu is not an obsessive person. His love for Huangfu Jing is real, his wish to be with Huangfu Jing is real, but he would never use any means to possess her. Love is a matter between two people, not just one. A melon forced off its vine is not sweet, and this is something Tangyu always believed in.

Huangfu Jing said, "By doing this, you’re making a complete enemy out of Yu Lingfeng and could even draw the wrath of the Yu Family. The Yu Family, one of the six great families in the Capital City, one of the four great military families. They have an unfathomable influence within the military. By doing this, you’re putting yourself in a very dangerous position. Offending the Yu Family because of this, as well as the Xuanwu Group, I don’t think this is a wise move."

The starting point of Huangfu Jing’s consideration was mostly concern for Tangyu’s safety, as she didn’t want to see him come to harm. She understood the power of the Yu Family and the character of Yu Lingfeng. Tangyu’s actions were indeed dangerous.

A corner of Tangyu’s mouth lifted, revealing a devilishly cold smile, "So what if I’ve offended them? I’ve offended plenty of young masters in Donglin City, many of whom want my life, yet here I am, still living well. Constantly enduring, retreating, and hiding is never the solution to a problem. Only when you are strong and your fists are hard enough can you prevent others from provoking you. No conspiracy or trickery can stand against absolute power, everything else is insignificant, powerless. I have my principles when it comes to my actions. The humiliation I received, I will definitely claim back. If I swallowed this incident, in the future, maybe the Xuanwu Group will come after me, or the Azure Dragon Group, or the White Tiger Group, or even the Vermilion Bird Group. Since Yu Lingfeng has provoked me, I won’t be courteous. If he has to lose a chunk of flesh, then he shall lose it. If he has to shed blood, then he shall shed it. His dignity is valuable, but mine is no cheaper. He cares about his dignity, but I care even more about mine. So this matter has to be handled this way."

Huangfu Jing looked at Tangyu, visibly moved, and nodded in support.

A man’s dignity is priceless.

Especially for someone as proud as Tangyu.

When a man lives in this world, he should fight for dignity, and die without regrets!
