Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 732 - 706: Can I Pursue You?

Lu Zheng deeply bowed to Tangyu and two others, his face filled with immense gratitude as he said, "Ghost Doctor, Tangyu, my friend, such immense kindness cannot be thanked with words alone. My Lu Family owes its survival to the three of you. For such a great kindness, we in the Lu Family will never forget, and have no way to repay. Should you need anything today, just say the word, and we in the Lu Family will ascend the highest mountains and dive into the deepest seas without hesitation. Should this vow be broken, may we in the Lu Family not die a good death."

Ghost Doctor also raised an eyebrow and said, "Lu Zheng, my friend, why so serious? We have also met once before, and we have some quarrels with that mysterious force ourselves; this matter was not solely for the Lu Family."

Lu Zheng shook his head resolutely and said, "Regardless, the lives of my family were indeed saved by you, Ghost Doctor my friend, there’s no need to be modest."

As Lu Zheng had a stubborn character, Ghost Doctor shook his head and added, "Suit yourself, but Lu Zheng, my friend, your family ought to consider something. The Great Demon King is merely a small pawn; King Yinshan will surely send more people. When King Yinshan’s people come again, your family will certainly be unable to withstand them."

This problem instantly silenced everyone from Lu Zheng’s family; their faces grew somber like a frost, and sharpness flickered in their eyes. This matter was indeed urgent, pressing down on their chest like Mount Tai, suffocating them. Even just three men had almost obliterated the Lu Family. If more were sent, that would be far more terrifying. The destruction of the Lu Family would then be a mere thought away.

This very real problem was gravely worrisome.

Lu Qian said, "Dad, let’s leave. Better to preserve the root than worry about firewood. Rather than sitting here waiting to die, we should take our young and old and head to the North Desert or Capital City. We still have some assets in Capital City; we could move there, and those assets are enough to support our family’s expenses."

Lu Zheng’s expression turned incredibly grave, and after a long moment, he spoke with a hint of frost in his glance, "This is our home, our ancestral heritage. The Lu Family has been rooted in Kaishan County for nearly three hundred years, handed down to this day. I don’t want to be the one to ruin it. If you want to leave—you go. I will stay here alone; even in death, I want to die at home. I am old now and don’t have much time left. I don’t want to spend my old age displaced and away from home. For the sake of the Lu Family legacy, you all should go."

After these words, Lu Zheng suddenly seemed much older.

This heart-wrenching pain is hard to comprehend unless experienced firsthand.

Lu Qian immediately grew anxious: "Dad, how can that work? How can we leave you here alone? Dad, if we go, we go together. Otherwise, we all stay and die together."

"Yes, Grandfather, let’s go together. Once the storm has passed, we can move back. We’re just leaving temporarily; think of it as going on a trip," Lu Xiangfei also hurriedly added.

Tangyu still had great respect for Old Master Lu’s moral integrity.

Lu Zheng waved his hand, his tone becoming stern: "I will not leave, but you must go. My death is not a loss, but the Lu Family’s legacy must not end. Otherwise, how could I face our ancestors? Go, all of you go. Start preparing now; leave today."

"Dad—"

"Shut up, don’t talk anymore, just get out!" Lu Zheng burst out shouting, his authority immense, leaving no room for disobedience.

Ghost Doctor then spoke up, "Lu Zheng, my friend, there really is no need for this. How about I offer a suggestion?"

Hearing Ghost Doctor’s words, Lu Zheng finally calmed down and looked towards Ghost Doctor, "Please speak, Ghost Doctor my friend."

Ghost Doctor said, "I am now sending my disciple to a place, then I will return to Donglin City. If you don’t mind, you could also temporarily move to Donglin City, and we can support each other. I don’t know how much you know about this matter, but let me tell you, this situation is far from simple. Not just your Kaishan County, but Donglin City, Capital City, and many other places have recently experienced such incidents. We had just resolved a great catastrophe in Donglin City. A mysterious and terrifying force is stirring the storm, aiming to disrupt the entire Ancient Martial World."

"So, this is not something a small Ancient Martial Arts Family like yours can withstand alone. We need to unite all possible forces to confront this calamity. There are also some Ancient Martial Arts Families in Donglin City, when the time comes, we’ll connect and try to form a temporary alliance to protect Donglin City, at least ensuring we are not shattered individually by this storm. Even if you stay behind and let them go, they may not necessarily survive."

"Therefore, the best solution is to move to Donglin City together."

Lu Zheng fell silent. The Ancient Martial World was indeed tumultuous recently, and although he was unaware of many issues, he sensed a terrifying calamity approaching that could stir the entire Ancient Martial World.

In such a storm, his family was indeed tragically weak, a gust of wind could obliterate them.

After a long while, Lu Zheng made a significant decision and nodded, "Alright, Ghost Doctor my friend, I will heed your advice. Our family will first move to Donglin City, and then we will unite together. One more person, one more strength, together to face this great calamity."

Ghost Doctor also let out a long sigh, "Yes, a great calamity, always resulting in countless sacrifices, paying with rivers of blood for the final victory. We in the Ancient Martial World, although peaceful on the surface, have indeed experienced great upheavals in history. This time, it may well be a historic calamity. Our power is too weak; we are not the heroes of tumultuous times, hoping only to safeguard our patch of land to peacefully spend our old age. I am old now, wanting nothing more but to live out my later years in peace."

Lu Zheng also nodded, "We are indeed old, all I wish for is the safety of my family. We are too weak, and should have no other desires. Well, let’s leave temporarily. It’s better than having the Lu Family destroyed by my hand. Let’s hope this calamity passes soon."

"Yes."

In his heart, Tangyu made a firm resolution to swiftly enhance his strength, to better protect those he needed to protect.

In the midst of this major crisis, only sufficient strength could allow one to face it calmly. A hero in chaotic times? Tangyu did not pursue such a title, simply hoping to protect the people around him was enough.

Creak—

The living room door was suddenly pushed open, and a cheerful voice rushed in, immediately jumping beside Lu Xiangfei: "Brother, I was scared to death just now, but luckily, I made it back alive."

Tangyu’s gaze also fell on the newcomer, and he was slightly mesmerized at a glance. Beautiful, truly beautiful, her looks were in no way inferior to Doctor Xiao. Pure and lovely, she seemed like the lively and cheerful type. Her face wore a slight smile, giving off a very bright and sunny vibe. She was dressed in a classical style which did not lose ancient charm, yet blended well with modern fashion trends, a perfect match for her temperament. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Big eyes, twinkling brightly, like the stars in the sky.

Looking at her age, she was just in her early twenties.

Her figure was also quite sultry, on par with Lin Feifei, indeed, a great beauty.

"Cough, Hanni, don’t be rude, didn’t you see we have guests here? Go play outside," Lu Zheng spoke softly, but it was evident he was very indulgent with his granddaughter.

Ghost Doctor chuckled and said, "No worries, no worries."

Lu Hanni then turned to Tangyu and the two men, smiled sweetly, and said, "I have met my grandfather and two brothers. You are the lifesavers of our family, right? Thank you, I will be grateful to you all my life."

Her words were rather sweet, which made Ghost Doctor smile even more broadly: "Hehe, the young lady sure knows how to speak."

Eventually, Lu Hanni’s gaze rested on Tangyu, and after seriously sizing him up for a while, she suddenly screamed, looking at Tangyu with a face full of surprise, "You are the Divine Doctor Tang, right? The savior of traditional medicine? Tangyu, isn’t it?"

Tangyu was slightly taken aback, then smiled slightly and said, "You know me?"

Lu Hanni immediately sat beside Tangyu with a face full of admiration and excitement, staring straight at him and nodded vigorously, "Mhm, I know you. You are very famous, you know. TV, the internet, newspapers, your news was everywhere recently. It’s hard not to know about you. Giggles, I am your devoted admirer, a true fan. Seeing you in person, I’m so thrilled. Idol, let’s take a selfie and sign an autograph for me?"

"Hanni, don’t be ridiculous," Lu Qian also spoke reproachfully.

Tangyu chuckled, "Uncle Lu, it’s fine, no worries."

Lu Qian shook his head helplessly, leaving her to her own devices.

Lu Hanni was not at all unfamiliar with the niceties, indeed she started taking selfies with Tangyu and eagerly asked him for his autograph, acting very much like a cute little fan. Afterward, she was joyously talking to herself, filling the room with her laughter and cheers. Her arrival certainly made the atmosphere a lot livelier.

Tangyu was also a bit overwhelmed by Lu Hanni’s enthusiasm, but he still had a pretty good feeling about the young girl, leaving a very favorable impression.

"Divine Doctor Tang, may I ask you a very personal question?" Lu Hanni suddenly asked seriously.

Tangyu nodded, "Yes, go ahead."

Lu Hanni asked, "Are you married?"

"Uh... no..."

"Giggles, that’s great. So, can I pursue you?"

"..."

Tangyu was instantly taken aback, his face flushing, unable to utter a word. This girl was perhaps too bold. Her grandfather, father, and brothers were all here, yet she dared to openly say such things. Even if Tangyu was willing, it would still be embarrassing to admit. Moreover—well, actually, Tangyu did not know if he was willing.

Little Fish looked on enviously and jokingly, while Ghost Doctor was also there, grinning broadly with a meaningful expression.

The three members of the Lu Family looked at each other, at a loss in the moment, an unforeseen scenario indeed.
