Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Zhang Long of Dragon and Tiger Hall



Watching Li Xuantong, the divine doctor he admired in his heart, cling to Yang Fei like a knowledge-thirsty elementary school student, begging for the teaching of the last four acupuncture techniques, Zhang Long picked himself up from the ground.

Helpless, Yang Fei was so preoccupied with Li Xuantong that he had no time to attend to him, so Zhang Long had to get up on his own.

"Uh, Doctor Li, how do we treat my master's internal injury?" Zhang Long, seeing Yang Fei entangled by Li Xuantong to the point of helplessness, gave a dry cough to interject.

Yang Fei looked at Zhang Long with approval.

Zhang Long was secretly delighted.

But Li Xuantong was annoyed and scolded Zhang Long, "The poison has been removed; the internal injury will heal over time, he won't die."

Zhang Long gave a wry smile; he dared not be disrespectful to Li Xuantong.

His master, Qi Tai, and Li Xuantong had been good friends for many years. After suffering an injury from his enemies, his master sent him straight to Li Xuantong, which showed his trust in him.

"I am Zhang Long from Dragon and Tiger Hall, I wish to thank you again for saving my master's life. May I have the honor of knowing your esteemed name?" Anticipating that Li Xuantong might cling to Yang Fei again, Zhang Long quickly turned to Yang Fei with this request.

Yang Fei replied, "My name is Yang Fei. Don't keep calling me 'benefactor;' it feels awkward."

"Understood, Mr. Yang."

Zhang Long said, and took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Fei, "There's one million in here, the PIN is the last six digits of the card number. Please, Mr. Yang, you must accept this as your consultation fee for saving my master."

Yang Fei, thinking of the Bentley worth millions that this guy drove when he arrived, could tell he wasn't lacking money.

In need of money at the moment, he did not hesitate to accept the offer.

To a wealthy person, one million for a life was not expensive.

Seeing Yang Fei accept the bank card, Zhang Long internally sighed with relief.

Yang Fei took the card and, thinking to fully deliver on the rescue, gave a prescription for nurturing the internal injury, "Follow this prescription, and at most in one month, you'll be healed. Of course, if you can combine it with acupuncture treatment, the results would be even better."

Zhang Long was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Could I trouble Mr. Yang to continue acupuncture treatment for my master?"

Yang Fei hesitated.

He could tell that Zhang Long's master had been injured in a fight, undoubtedly he had enemies.

He had just happened to save Qi Tai, unable to bear leaving him to die.

But continuing treatment for Qi Tai might embroil him in unnecessary troubles.

Seeing Yang Fei's hesitation, Li Xuantong spoke up, "Little Brother Yang, Old Qi is a man of good deeds and righteousness; this time he may have encountered trouble. Your medical skills are unmatched, please help treat Old Qi's injuries."

Zhang Long immediately said, "Mr. Yang, rest assured, I will not let you work in vain; one million for each visit. I just hope my master recovers quickly."

Yang Fei, seeing the sincere look of anticipation in Zhang Long's eyes and Li Xuantong's hopeful gaze, nodded and said, "Alright. For future treatments, you can find me here."

After speaking, he turned to Li Xuantong, "Doctor Li, I actually came today to look for a job."

Li Xuantong's eyes lit up, and he immediately piled on a smile, "Oh, calling me Doctor Li is too formal. I feel an instant bond with you, my little brother; let's address each other as brothers. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Li."

Yang Fei's mouth twitched.

Just a moment ago, he kept insisting on taking me as his master, and now we are equals?

"As for the matter of seeking employment, with your skills, Brother Yang, if you opened a clinic, I would have to close mine. It would be my clinic's great fortune to have someone of your stature condescend to join us."

Li Xuantong made a firm decision, "From now on, you will be the resident doctor at the clinic. By the way, what are your requirements for remuneration? It's not just about working here; you might also guide me on some medical issues. What kind of remuneration would satisfy you?"

Seeing Li Xuantong's earnest desire for knowledge, Yang Fei couldn't bear to refuse.

After all, the place was close to his home, and the offer was good enough.

Zhang Long, having gathered the medicines according to Yang Fei's prescription and worried about his master's injury, said his goodbyes to the two men.

Yang Fei checked the time—it was already past five—and said to Li Xuantong, "Shall I come to work tomorrow?"

Li Xuantong nodded eagerly, "If you're willing, you can start working tonight. We have dinner here, and we can eat while we talk—discuss about medical matters."

Yang Fei said, "I need to go home to cook for my wife."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuantong looked surprised, "You're married?"

So young and already married—he was just thinking how well this lad would match with his own talented and beautiful granddaughter.

But since they had just met that day, it wouldn't have been appropriate to promote his granddaughter. He didn't expect the young man to already be married.

What a pity.

Maybe he should meet his wife sometime. If she wasn't worthy of this young man, he could let him divorce her and then marry his granddaughter.

Li Xuantong somewhat reluctantly saw Yang Fei out of the clinic.

Zhang Long, seeing that Yang Fei was on foot, said, "Mr. Yang, where do you live? I can have Xiao Ma give you a lift."

A man in his thirties immediately came over and respectfully said to Yang Fei, "Good to meet you, Mr. Yang. You can just call me Xiao Ma."

Yang Fei shook his head and said, "Thanks, but no need. I live nearby, just a short walk away."

Zhang Long inwardly expressed regret. He was perceptive and thought by having Xiao Ma take Yang Fei home, they would learn of his residence—knowing that Yang Fei would not be amenable to force, he let the matter go.

Worried that his master's injuries might worsen, he exchanged contact information with Yang Fei.

After watching Yang Fei walk off into the distance, Zhang Long bid farewell to Li Xuantong and left with his master.

On the car ride, Qi Tai slowly regained consciousness.

As the founder of Dragon and Tiger Hall, Qi Tai had come to Binhai alone to make his way in the world. Over several decades, he turned Dragon and Tiger Hall into one of the three great powers of Binhai's underworld.

Compared to the elder of the Chen Family, Qi Tai's life was more legendary.

"Master, have you awakened?" Zhang Long was ecstatic.

The toxins in Qi Tai's body had been eliminated. Though he still suffered from internal injuries, the Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Technique and the emitted Revitalizing Aura used by Yang Fei earlier, not only helped him detoxify, but also had a significant therapeutic effect on his internal organs. He was now able to speak.

"Long, that person targeted me, he came for me. You must leave Binhai immediately while he has not yet taken notice of you," Qi Tai said as soon as he awoke.

Zhang Long's eyes reddened as he said, "Master, you raised me just like my own father. How could I abandon you when an enemy confronts us?"

By the end of his speech, his eyes shone with a fierce light as he harshly said, "Besides, now that we are on guard, if that person dares to come again, I'll make sure he won't return!"

Qi Tai quickly said, "No, that person disappeared for over a decade, and it's unexpected that he has acquired such formidable skills upon his return. You can't beat him. Moreover, this person's sudden appearance, aside from seeking revenge, might indicate there's someone behind him. Binhai is no longer safe."

Zhang Long recalled the young man he had just met in the clinic and an idea struck him. "Master, his Poison Palm is not without a counter. If handled properly, perhaps we can seek strong support to help us survive this disaster."

It was only then that Qi Tai came to his senses, realizing that the toxins in his body had been cleared. He couldn't help but express his amazement, "Li Xuantong can neutralize such poison?"

Zhang Long shook his head and recounted the events that had taken place.

After listening, Qi Tai's expression went through several changes, and he said gravely, "To make the silver needles create an invisible aura, he has cultivated Inner Strength. Long, you must be careful with this Mr. Yang and must not offend him!"

"Inner Strength?" Zhang Long was shocked. "How could he be so young and already have it?"

Qi Tai said solemnly, "I've told you before, there are skies beyond skies, and people beyond people. Don't assume that having learned some martial arts makes you invincible."

"I wouldn't dare. I've always kept your words close to my heart, rest assured, Master."

A glint flashed in Zhang Long's eyes.

He had underestimated Yang Fei's abilities.

He knew that someone like Yang Fei could not be easily swayed to serve others.

But if he could form a good relationship with him in advance, it might have unexpected effects in the future.
