Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1317 - 1316: The Young Lord Proposing Marriage

Lu Ming stood with his hands behind his back, approaching the crowd.

His outfit was evidently carefully chosen, making him appear elegant and imposing.

"Zhaoyue, don't be a stranger with your words... My grandfather came early, having given it careful thought. Zhaoyue, I didn't expect you to truly recover... I'm genuinely happy for you. In the future, should you join our Lu Family, I assure you, nobody will dare bully you! East City will also be my home. You can consider South City entirely your own home."

This time, Hong Zhaoyue ignored Lu Ming.

Because she knew that this man named Lu Ming was of poor character, often taking advantage of others verbally, a total rogue.

No matter what you say about him, his skin is thicker than a fortress wall; he pays no attention to your words.

The East City Lord, Hong He, interjected with arms crossed: "Old Man Lu, isn't it inappropriate for you to propose now? You know my daughter has just recovered from a severe illness, what are you in such a rush for?"

Upon hearing this.

Lu Youqiong laughed: "Not in the least, very appropriate. In Wanxian City, who doesn't know your daughter is a peerless beauty? If Lu Ming could marry such a beauty, it would be a blessing earned over eight lifetimes. Such a beauty, our Lu Family must propose as soon as possible—otherwise, if someone else steps in first, that would be troublesome, wouldn't you agree?"

"Well... No matter how reasonable you sound, I, Hong He, will not consent to this marriage proposal. Please take your leave."

Hong He had long had grievances with the Lu Family.

During numerous meetings of the Five Great Cities, Hong He had argued with Lu Youqiong more than once. The two were like a needle facing wheat awn!

Hong He was particularly critical of the Lu Family's monopolistic handling of spirit stones.

Unfortunately...

It's still difficult to shake the Lu Family's status.

Rather than discussing South City this or that, it's essentially Lu Family's domain.

"Not consent?" Lu Youqiong chuckled, "Do you think it's up to you? Hong He, who do you think you are? Just an East City Lord, look at how proud you are! I seriously don't know where your superiority comes from!?"

"Hmm?" Hong He frowned slightly.

It appeared he was willing to break off relations.

"All spirit stone supplies for the Five Great Cities are managed by me! With just one order, no merchant would dare supply spirit stones to your East City! Tell me, Hong He, what makes Lu Ming unqualified for your daughter?"

"There are plenty of reasons he's unqualified! Must I list them one by one?" Hong He retorted.

"No need! Just one will do." Lu Youqiong crossed his arms, his face brimming with confidence.

"Lu Ming, a dignified cultivator at the peak of the Profound Human Immortal Realm, goes around oppressing low rank cultivators, killing an untold number of cultivators each year—how's that for a reason?" Hong He stated sternly.

"What of it... As cultivators, who hasn't killed before? Those lacking skill blame my grandson? Isn't that laughable? I, Lu Youqiong, say this now: if any opponent Lu Ming challenges kills him, I'll have no complaints, life or death is irrelevant!" Lu Youqiong affirmed, scanning the room with a sharp gaze, "Dare any of you accept my grandson's challenge?"

These words left the crowd dumbfounded.

Lu Ming confidently smiled: "City Lord Hong He, a master in the Primordial Human Immortal Realm—I'm sensible, wouldn't choose him to challenge! Of course, I won't select low rank cultivators either, anyone can refuse! I have never forced anyone, yet now living has become my sin! Is that fair?"

"Is it fair?"

That question left the crowd speechless.

But right then.

Hong Zhaoyue spoke: "Stop confusing the issue, it's my Hong Family not accepting your proposal, what's the point of flaunting your power here? There're many experts in Wanxian City, why don't you challenge them! No matter how formidable you are, it has nothing to do with me! Please leave!"

Those words directly enraged Lu Ming.

As a young master with prestige in South City, Lu Ming had never been spoken to like that, and immediately fumed:

"Hong Zhaoyue, I respect you solely because you're the city lord's daughter! Don't push it! Who do you think you are? Just because you're prettier, do you think the world revolves around you? I can tell you right now, I, Lu Ming, am here to propose, and should anyone dare come again, I will destroy them!"

"You—"

Beside him, Lu Youqiong chuckled while saying: "Lu Ming, don't be so rude."

He said not to be rude, but he was secretly pleased.

Simultaneously, he addressed Hong He: "Though my grandson is somewhat blunt, he did make a point! How about this... City Lord Hong, Zhaoyue, consider it carefully. I'll return in two days."

"You need not return, I can answer you right now." Hong Zhaoyue responded decisively.

"Oh?"

Old Lu squinted and said, "Young people always act impulsively. Almost forgot to tell you, the five-yearly conference is about to start... This time, the guild will redistribute spirit stone supplies based on new proportions. As for East City, I've yet to decide how much to allocate… It might be none at all. You know, with the spiritual energy surge in Huaxia World, more spirit stones are needed to monitor external fluctuations, and the spiritual energy beneath Central City is down to a third... Overall, consider it carefully, don't be so quick to make decisions!"

After saying this, he called to Lu Ming: "Grandson, let's go!"

"Yes!"

After the Lu family left.

Hong He was incensed, swearing: "That old thing! Dares threaten me!? What a jerk!"

Hong Zhaoyue's face also looked grave.

...

At the same time.

Tiandu Mountain, seven gathered.

The Five Hall Masters along with Xu Zhaopei, all arrived before the Tiandu Mountain Hall.

Fang Yu had already arranged everything.

"Alright, let's go!"

The seven flew down the mountain.

Ye Wenjun accompanied Xu Zhaopei.

The others flew independently.

Ye Wenjun, having Phoenix Ancient Jade and a phoenix herself, feared not Ordinary Blood, unlike the others.

An hour later.

The seven reached the summit.

"Nice environment!" Upon landing, they admired the surroundings.

"Hm... Brother Fang, is the Wanxian World you mentioned here?"

Fang Yu laughed and replied, "Certainly not here... But you can enter from here!"

"How to enter?"

With curiosity in their eyes, Fang Yu smiled: "Close your eyes! Count to three and you'll be there."

They actually closed their eyes!

In the moment they closed their eyes!

The Nine Layer Tower suddenly expanded, its peak piercing the space.

The seven were simultaneously enveloped!

As if passing through a time tunnel, crossing time and space!

This mysterious feeling made the other six immediately open their eyes!
