The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Sect Leader Qi looked at Tong Xiuyuan and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Impossible, impossible, I know, you've conspired together. I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced."

Upon hearing what Sect Leader Qi said, Tong Xiuyuan's expression darkened. He looked at Sect Leader Qi angrily and said, "Sect Leader Qi, I, Tong Xiuyuan, have always acted uprightly and honestly. How can I allow you to make such baseless accusations?"

Nangong Yufeng, who was standing to the side, casually said, "Sect Leader Qi, before the match you said that you could beat him even without using your internal energy. Now that you've lost, you're making excuses and saying that someone drugged you. I've seen it all. Are all people in the martial arts world so sore losers?"

After speaking, he leisurely looked at the crowd below the stage.

Upon hearing Nangong Yufeng's words, someone immediately retorted, "Our Half Moon Pavilion has always valued loyalty and righteousness, acted with integrity and uprightness, and was able to take things in stride. We would never associate with the Wind and Thunder Sect."

Upon hearing someone step forward to distance themselves from the situation, the others followed suit, their words filled with contempt for Sect Leader Qi.

Hearing the crowd's words, Sect Leader Qi realized he had misspoke. He never expected to be defeated by this inexperienced brat. Looking at the disdainful glances directed at him from all sides, he knew that today, the Fenglei Sect would be utterly humiliated in the martial world.

Hatred quickly overwhelmed his reason, and while everyone was still discussing it, Sect Leader Qi suddenly made a move, channeling his inner energy into his palm and striking towards Li Muxia.

Li Muxia calculated the time. By now, the effects of the drug should have worn off, and she could already feel the palm wind from Master Qi's palm. Although she wanted to resist, she knew that she probably couldn't resist this time. Resigned, she closed her eyes, crossed her arms to protect her heart, and at least reduced some damage.

Feng Yuhan, who had been keeping a close eye on Li Muxia, saw Headmaster Qi's hand reaching for Li Muxia and quickly made his move. He gathered his inner strength and met Headmaster Qi's attack with a palm strike, while simultaneously wrapping his arm around Li Muxia's waist and pulling her into his embrace.

Master Qi's palm strike was easily blocked by Feng Yuhan's internal force, and he was also blasted away, falling off the stage and coughing up blood while clutching his chest.

The people from Fenglei Sect quickly stepped forward to help Sect Leader Qi up, and looked at Feng Yuhan and said, "Sect Leader Feng, our Fenglei Sect and Dark Shadow Pavilion have never had any grudges, why did you hurt our sect leader like this?"

Feng Yuhan merely glanced coldly at the speaker without answering his question.

Seeing this, Tong Xiuyuan said, "Sect Leader Qi attacked someone with a sneak attack, and Pavilion Master Feng was merely rescuing someone. Sect Leader Qi violated the rules of the arena and is disqualified from the competition. People of Fenglei Sect, quickly take your sect leader and leave this place."

Everyone was convinced that Master Qi was not poisoned when he attacked Li Muxia; the palm strike clearly contained internal force, which any martial artist could see.

At this moment, the crowd's condemnation grew even louder, their words filled with sarcasm directed at Sect Leader Qi and the Wind and Thunder Sect.

Hearing the condemnation from those around them, the members of the Fenglei Sect glanced at the unconscious Sect Leader Qi, then at the arena, gritted their teeth, and carried Sect Leader Qi away from the snow mountain in a sorry state.

Nangong Huaiyuan withdrew his hand. He had subconsciously wanted to save Li Muxia just now. He squinted at Feng Yuhan on the stage and a cold smile crept into his heart: I didn’t expect that the rumored cold-blooded and ruthless leader of the Shadow Pavilion would actually save a man. Interesting, very interesting. Xia Mu, I’m getting more and more curious.

Li Muxia stepped out of Feng Yuhan's arms, cupped her hands, and said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master Feng, for saving me."

Bai Qingshi and the others had also arrived at Li Muxia's side; they had been terrified just now.

Xiaoyaozi looked at Feng Yuhan and could sense that Feng Yuhan had a special feeling for Li Muxia. Just now, when Li Muxia left Feng Yuhan's embrace, he clearly saw the reluctance and longing in the eyes beneath the ghost mask. This kid must like his little disciple. Heh heh, this kid isn't bad; he's worthy of his little disciple. He'll find a way to help them in the future.

Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye checked Li Muxia over and were relieved to find that he was unharmed.

He bowed to Feng Yuhan in thanks.

Feng Yuhan simply nodded slightly, then looked at Li Muxia, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Tong Xiuyuan who had come over.

Tong Xiuyuan approached Feng Yuhan and bowed, saying, "Sect Master Feng, it's been a long time."

Yes, it's been a long time. The last time we met was six years ago at the Martial Arts Alliance Championship. Back then, this young man was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, yet he managed to defeat all sorts of heroes. If he weren't so young, he'd probably be the Martial Arts Alliance Leader by now. He's undeniably a martial arts prodigy. I was tempted to take him under my wing, but unfortunately, he refused.

When they met again, his martial arts skills had improved considerably, and he was probably no match for him now.

Feng Yuhan looked at Tong Xiuyuan and said, "Alliance Leader Tong, it's been a long time."

Tong Xiuyuan: "I wonder if Pavilion Master Feng is also here to participate in the treasure hunt arena?"

Upon hearing Tong Xiuyuan's words, everyone looked at Feng Yuhan, waiting for his answer. They were genuinely afraid he would participate; who could possibly defeat him?

Feng Yuhan glanced at Li Muxia, shook his head, and said, "I was just passing by."

He certainly wasn't there to participate in any treasure hunt competition; someone from the Shadow Pavilion had already signed up. He was just there to check on Li Muxia, worried about what dangers she might be in on the snow mountain.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; thankfully, they were just passing by.

Xiaoyaozi: Just passing by. You're kidding me. You're definitely here to see Xiaxia. Hypocrite.

Tong Xiuyuan: "In that case, why don't Pavilion Master Feng also serve as a referee for this arena competition?"

Feng Yuhan initially wanted to refuse, but considering that Li Muxia still had to participate in the competition, and that sitting close to her on the referee's bench would allow him to rescue her in time, he nodded in agreement.

When Nangong Yufeng saw Li Muxia come down, he quietly came to Li Muxia's side, tugged at Li Muxia's sleeve, and whispered, "Doctor Xia, are you alright?"

Li Muxia turned around in surprise and saw a strange man. She asked in confusion, "I'm fine. Do you know me?"

Nangong Yufeng moved a little closer to Li Muxia and whispered, "It's me, Yufeng."

Li Muxia looked at him in surprise, then leaned closer to Nangong Yufeng and whispered, "You're Yufeng? No wonder I didn't see you earlier. Why are you disguised?"

The two were very close, and Nangong Yufeng could even feel Li Muxia's breath on his face as she spoke. Watching her small mouth open and close, his face involuntarily turned red.

This scene was also witnessed by Feng Yuhan on the stage. Seeing the two of them so close, and Li Muxia smiling as she spoke to Nangong Yufeng, it was so glaring.

Nangong Huaiyuan and Tong Xiuyuan, who were standing to the side, both shivered without realizing it. They wondered if it was just their imagination, but they felt much colder than before.
