Chapter 51 Coach Liu
Gusu City Courtyard.
This is a place in Gusu City specially for having breakfast and morning tea, and it is also the best morning tea shop in Gusu City!
Of course, as the best spot in Gusu City, the prices are naturally daunting—an ordinary person's monthly salary could be spent on just one breakfast!
"Family Head Hu, your reserved spot is over there, I'll take you there!"
As Ye Ling and others entered the courtyard, someone immediately came forward to lead the way.
Under the guidance of the server, they took their seats at the spot reserved by Family Head Hu.
"Does Divine Doctor Ye have any dietary restrictions?"
"None, just order what you think is best."
Hearing this, Family Head Hu didn't even look at the menu and just started rattling off dish names, evidently a regular at this Gusu City Courtyard!
"Divine Doctor Ye, the Zhao family and the Hegemon Hall folks have come together, and since your men have injured Zhao Changming and people from Hegemon Hall, I'm afraid this matter won't end well!"
"That Zhao Changming is the younger brother of the current Family Head of the Zhao family, holding significant power and influence."
"And that Liu from Hegemon Hall, it's rumored he's almost stepped half into the Great Grandmaster realm!"
Family Head Hu, with a worried expression, spoke to Ye Ling.
Nowadays, the Hu family is, in the eyes of the Zhao family and Hegemon Hall, probably tied to the same boat as Ye Ling.
When they make a move against Ye Ling, they will surely make a move against the Hu family as well.
Although Family Head Hu is not afraid of the Zhao family, he must fear Hegemon Hall.
Over the years, Hegemon Hall has become the foremost martial arts force in Jiangnan, with operatives in every city.
And in each city, the Hegemon Hall's representative is inevitably a Grandmaster level powerhouse.
This is also why Hegemon Hall, as a martial force, has been able to discreetly control many of the prominent families and clans in Jiangnan.
Hegemon Hall is too powerful, so powerful that it leaves these clans and families in Jiangnan without any will to resist.
Family Head Hu knew in his heart that if Ye Ling was not a match for Hegemon Hall, then the Hu family might meet a tragic ruin!
In recent years, many families have proven with their actions that in Jiangnan, resisting Hegemon Hall means a certain death.
"Is Family Head Hu scared?"
Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Family Head Hu sighed softly and said helplessly, "If it weren't for Divine Doctor Ye stepping in, this old man would have been long dead."
"Old man, of course, isn't afraid of revenge from Zhao family and Hegemon Hall, it might as well be dying from poison!"
"But with dozens of people under my care in the Hu family, this old man is worried..."
Ye Ling looked at him intently and interrupted, "Don't worry, it's just a branch of Hegemon Hall, why fear them?"
Hearing this, Family Head Hu didn't say anything more.
Regardless of the outcome, the Hu family was now bound to Ye Ling's fate.
Even if he wanted to distance himself from Ye Ling at this moment, the people from Zhao family and Hegemon Hall wouldn't let him off.
Rather than surrender on his own, he might as well see if Ye Ling could, like his medical skills, create a miracle.
Upon realizing this, Family Head Hu called Ye Ling and others to start having breakfast.
Before the group had eaten for long, a tall figure strode in from the entrance.
His piercing gaze swept over everyone in the courtyard, finally locking onto Family Head Hu, and he walked over briskly.
He said nothing, simply pulled out a chair for himself and sat down at Ye Ling's table.
"Coach Liu... Coach Liu, how did you come here?"
Upon seeing who it was, the Family Head Hu's expression changed drastically, his voice trembling a bit.
Coach Liu glanced at him and said coldly, "Family Head Hu, you are quite bold, daring to be so close with the guy who injured my disciple?"
Family Head Hu's body trembled, his lips quivered, but he ultimately couldn't say anything more.
"So you are the coach of the Bata Hall Gusu branch?"
Ye Ling looked at him, stuffed a bun into his mouth, and asked with a smile.
Coach Liu's eyebrows twitched, and his wolf-like tiger-like gaze settled on Ye Ling, "It seems you are that Divine Doctor Ye Ling?"
"Since you didn't want to meet me, I had to come personally to see you!"
"Since you know who I am, I won't bother with nonsense."
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "I wonder what advice Coach Liu has for me?"
"You disabled Zhao Qingyun of the Zhao family and injured Zhao Changming. The Zhao family demands an explanation for this. Also, I need an explanation for my disciple who was injured."
Coach Liu's gaze never left Ye Ling as he continued, "Family Head Zhao said if the explanation you provide isn't satisfactory, he will send someone to wipe out everyone in the Su family of Jinling to avenge Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Changming."
"You should know the strength of the Zhao family, exterminating a second-tier family in Jinling is an effortless task for them!"
Upon hearing this, Su Rou, sitting next to Ye Ling, filled her eyes with worry, unable to focus on breakfast anymore.
Although the Su family members didn't care about her, the only person who was kind to her, Old Master Su, was also part of the Su family.
"Are you done talking? Didn't the Medicine God sect or those other family heads tell you anything?"
Ye Ling patted Su Rou's back and then said to Coach Liu.
Hearing this, Coach Liu was startled and asked in surprise, "How did you know they told me some things?"
"Hehe, the Medicine God wants the so-called medical scriptures, and those family heads want me to save them," Ye Ling said with a light laugh, then continued, "For the sake of medical scriptures and their lives, how could they possibly just watch me fall into the hands of the Zhao family?"
Coach Liu nodded and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, lad, to be so astute, too bad the things you do are rather foolish."
"They told me, as long as you are willing to give up the medical scriptures and save those family heads,"
"They are willing to plead to the Zhao family on your behalf, though you might die, the Su family will definitely be safe!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu's expression immediately darkened.
Su Rou, mustering her courage, glared at Coach Liu and said angrily, "Ye Ling only injured them, and they want the entire Su family and Ye Ling's life as repayment!"
"Do your lives mean so little in your eyes?"
Coach Liu glanced at Su Rou, and said with a sinister smile, "Little girl, do you think life is precious?"
"Are you from the Su family? Good, you've also heard our terms. Just let your man agree to our conditions, and the Su family won't have to be wiped out."
Su Rou trembled with anger.
Ye Ling gently patted her back, while his other hand gestured to Coach Liu to come closer.
Coach Liu paused, thinking Ye Ling's action meant for him to come closer, possibly to make it easier for him to beg for mercy.
As Coach Liu moved closer to Ye Ling, Ye Ling suddenly placed his hand on Coach Liu's head!
"Bang!"
Coach Liu's head was slammed on the table by Ye Ling, and the marble table instantly showed several cracks!
