Chapter 130: Injuring Lin Yu (2/2)
Ye Wuchen then nodded. While standing in a corner without a word, he looked at Lin Xiu. Judging by her facial color, the air of death had already invaded her whole body, stripping away the life force out of every corner. Within the day, she would surely die. Tomorrow, her body would become a dried up corpse.
This was the horrible nature of the power of death. It was only because Ye Wuchen’s power of death was not strong enough, that he had to gather his powers and still wait several days for it to take effect.
After a long duration of silence, Ye Wuchen did not move still and just used his eyes to observe. He did not even feel her pulse, made no inquiries, he did not even inspect the body; his face was expressionless. Long Yin eventually could not help asking, “Wuchen, I’ve heard you have extraordinary medical expertise. Are you able to save the Empress? If you can, I will certainly reward you.”
Ye Wuchen turned around, and said, “Is the her maid present? I have something to ask her.”
Long Zhenyang’s heart grew ecstatic at the thought that Ye Wuchen might have discovered something and hurried said, “Please wait for a moment Brother Ye. I will personally call for her.”
Afterwhich he quickly rushed out at his fastest speed.
“This brother, old man here has observed your confident look, with not a single surge in your expression. You seems to have become very aware of something. Does this mean you already know the illness of the Empress?” Shui Nanhe said amiably while stroking his long white beard.
“Just putting on an act.” Lin Zhan, from the side, let out a cold groan that could not be easily heard.
“Oh?” Ye Wuchen did not respond to Shui Nanhe, but instead turned to face Lin Zhan. Knitting his brows, he said, “Superior Lin, do you have some resentment towards me?”
How could Lin Zhan’s loftiness go weak in front of Ye Wuchen? Without any hesitation, he disdainfully said, “Do you know who this immortal here is? He is the medicine expert of the Southern Empire Clan, the most famous master in the world of medicine known all throughout the Heavenly Star Continent, yet even he cannot do anything about the Empress’ illness. Don’t tell me your medical skill are more powerful than his? Some words of advice, don’t put on airs and go back at once to save yourself from disgrace.”
Long Yin’s expression slightly changed, but he did not say anything. During these past few days, even a stupid person would see that the recent happenings caused by Ye Wuchen were intentionally aimed against the Lin Family. The accumulated rancor of Lin Family against Ye Wuchen was already very deep. Now that they met each other in person, such aggressive comments were hard to avoid.
Ye Wuchen heaved a long sigh, seemingly regretfully helpless as he nodded his head, then faced Long Yin as he said, “Your Majesty, there’s something that I fail to understand.”
“What sort of things you don’t understand? Please, do tell.”
“Wuchen had heard before that among the two most powerful families of Tian Long, one of them is our Ye Family. Everyone knows that Old General Ye has been heroic throughout his life, being brave with his numerous outstanding military services. During those days, he killed Gale Nation’s armies, causing them to lose their helmets and abandon their armors. His reputation in the army is clearly incomparable, and he can be regarded as very great. And like father like son, General Ye had followed his father’s footsteps in the battles, fighting side by side with his father, regardless of life and death, he attacked enemies on the frontline, venerable and highly respected. What my Ye Family has become now was in exchange for blood and loyalty that is well deserved! On the other hand, there is the Lin Family. What Wuchen really doesn’t understand is, how could the Lin Family be qualified to be compared with our Ye Family?”
“You!” Lin Zhan pointed at Ye Wuchen, face full of violent rage, but Ye Wuchen did not even glance at him, his bright eyes only stared at Long Yin.
“Impudent, even in front of His Majesty. How dare you talk like that? You, young kid, are not qualified to comment on our Lin Family!” Lin Kuang said angrily.
Ye Wuchen laughed heartily, “What a nice family. Superior Lin Zhan, you must be the current grand master of your family. As the master of the house, you maliciously speak against one of the younger generation who specifically came to treat your sister. Is this the way the Lin Family treats people? And with just a few unimportant words from me, it has caused a terrible rage from two generations of your family. Such great self-cultivation and self-restraint, that you could despise a man of the younger generation like me to the greatest degree. For a family to be under the control of a man like you, how can you be qualified to be compared to my Ye Family?”
Long Yin tightly knitted his brows and said indifferently, “Your words are somewhat inappropriate now. The Lin Family’s contributions to our Tian Long Nation also cannot go unnoticed.”
“Then I dare to question Your Majesty. From my words, was there any statement or word that I’ve mentioned wrong?” Ye Wuchen said, his words neither arrogant nor impatient.
Any knowledable person would be able to hear that every word Ye Wuchen said was true. Lin Zhan’s brief and trivial words had been broaden up by Ye Wuchen, but still remained untwisted. Indeed, Ye Wuchen came specifically just to treat the Empress, yet Lin Zhan faced him with malicious words without reason or cause. How could the head of a family possess such an ugly trait? If such level of self-cultivation and self-restraint were compared to the Ye Family that was not boastful, even with their numerous accomplishments, the two families were very much different.
Long Yin shook his head helplessly. Facing Lin Kuang and Lin Zhan, he said, “General Lin, a while ago you were harsh with your words. Whether you had any misunderstandings with Wuchen before, to talk to a younger generation like this is really unnecessary. It will bring disgrace to the Lin Family, so now you all shut your mouths.”
Lin Zhan did not expect that even the words that he has subconsciously blurted out could bring him great humiliation. Even the Lin Family had been criticized. This time, he could only respond while restraining his belly full of anger and his face red.
When it came to oral arguments, nobody could ever win against Ye Wuchen.
