CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 140: WOLF’S AMBITION

The night was deep.

In the back alley behind the Imperial Doctor Mansion, Chu Yuan cussed out several local ruffians drenched in blood.

"Wretches! I tasked you with dealing with a fool, yet you botched it. What good are you to the Imperial Doctor Mansion!"

"Master, we didn’t expect to encounter students from Qingtian Academy. But we’ve given that idiot a ruthless beating."

The ruffians explained.

"What use is a beating? He was in the Imperial Doctor Mansion, and when has this master ever shown him a friendly face? I intended to eradicate him before the old grandfather completed his seclusion. Now, great, he’s not dead and he’s escaped."

Chu Yuan scoffed.

"Don’t worry, master, he won’t get far. Qingtian Academy does not permit outsiders to enter, so once that student returns to the academy, that fool will end up on the streets. This area is under our brothers’ control; he definitely won’t make it back to the Imperial Doctor Mansion."

The ruffians vowed confidently.

"If you can’t find him, don’t expect to live either. Don’t forget the poison in your bodies."

Chu Yuan’s expression was chilling, causing the ruffians’ faces to turn pale as they hastily nodded and took their leave.

Chu Yuan turned and entered the back door, as it opened, he saw Grand Doctor Chu standing behind the door.

"Second Master, Chu Beiqing has run away. Second Master, I don’t understand why you don’t deal with him inside the mansion..."

Before Chu Yuan could finish, he made a slashing gesture across his neck.

Chu Beiqing had been a fool for several years, and Second Master Chu had plenty of chances to kill him, yet he hesitated.

"Do you think I care about brotherly love?"

Grand Doctor Chu said with a cold laugh.

Brotherly love?

Where was there any affection to speak of between him and Chu Beiqing, only hatred.

Others thought that Mr. Chu and his brother, Chu Beiqing, had a deep brotherly bond, but little did they know, Chu Tianyi, Second Master Chu, hated Chu Beiqing the most in his life.

That guy was born lucky, the legitimate eldest son of the Chu family matriarch.

Whereas he, Chu Tianyi, was born just a day later, and because his mother was a concubine in the Chu Family, became a bastard.

Since childhood, Chu Beiqing had a noble status, as close as siblings with Emperor Longteng.

But he could only ever be their lackey.

Finally, five years ago, his opportunity arrived.

Chu Beiqing was seriously injured due to an incident, not only losing all his kung fu but also being unable to follow the Human Path, becoming the laughingstock of everyone as a fool.

He, Chu Tianyi, finally had his opportunity, made a shocking debut, took over Chu Beiqing’s achievements, became the Imperial Physician, a significant minister of the country.

He indeed had the chance to kill Chu Beiqing, but he never acted.

"Five years ago, I took Chu Beiqing’s place in the Imperial Hospital, and the imperial physicians did not accept me. In the eyes of Emperor Longteng, only his good brother Chu Beiqing existed. Even the old master was wholehearted in hoping that Chu Beiqing might recover one day. Over five years, I proved myself with my own talent, and now, nobody remembers the once Jade-faced Medical Saint Chu Beiqing. Now in Longteng Country, there is only one Imperial Physician Chu Tianyi."

Grand Doctor Chu’s handsome face was filled with pride.

The hunting hound is cooked when the cunning rabbit is killed.

As of today, five years later, Chu Beiqing has been completely forgotten by the citizens and Monarch of Longteng Country.

Now, if he were to die unexpectedly at the hands of some ruffians, although Emperor Longteng would be saddened, he wouldn’t look into the matter, only granting more regard to the Imperial Doctor Mansion.

Additionally, since Chu Beiqing could not follow the Human Path and had no offspring, upon his death, everything in the Imperial Doctor Mansion, including Chu Beiqing’s years of medical and pharmaceutical texts, would all fall into his hands.

"Second Master is truly thorough in his work. Rest assured, Second Master, now that Chu Beiqing has left the Imperial Doctor Mansion, it will be much harder for him to return."

Chu Yuan had the face of a fawning lackey as he accompanied Grand Doctor Chu into the mansion.
