Our Qiao Family has already learned that the item from back then, was secretly taken away by you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, the clan has sent me to retrieve it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Qiao Guoting’s face remained expressionless as he shook his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do not know what you are talking about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, Elder of the Five Clans, there’s no need for you to feign ignorance. Bring out that item, it would be a fortunate occasion for our clan, and for your current Qiao Family as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, the fate of your Fifth Vein will not just be to flee far away, but complete annihilation!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, there was still no trace of expression on Qiao Guoting’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after waiting a while, he finally spoke bitterly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems that the Qiao Family truly hasn’t taken me, Qiao Guoting, seriously; even a junior dares to insult me so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring out the item, and I will still respect you as an elder. But if you don’t, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi appeared sweet and her smile revealed two dimples, but her words and actions were rather overbearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she said this, the elder standing behind her suddenly stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, he felt an oppressive terror bearing down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm? There’s actually an Explosive Qi Master expert here!” The old man’s heart tightened instantly, and he glanced around, noticing Lin Dong sitting at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong was smirking coldly at him at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible pressure that had just been released was indeed unleashed by Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder, who had been ready to make a move, stopped in his tracks, and instead leaned towards Qiao Xixi’s ear, whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, there is a Master of Energy Transformation present here. It seems we cannot take action tonight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi’s complexion changed ever so slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her original plan was to ascertain whether the item was still in the Qiao Family after her arrival today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qiao Guoting were not willing to admit it, she would have resorted to force, to coerce him into handing over the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they had already fallen out, why bother with further consideration? She intended to proceed in the simplest way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who could have expected that, within this minor Qiao Family, there would be a Master of Energy Transformation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of a joke was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Master of Energy Transformation was an extremely eminent figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful Masters of Energy Transformation could be ranked in the Dragon Rankings. They were sought after by the War department, the Longmen, and various top-tier families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have imagined encountering one here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she also noticed Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems that this person is the Master of Energy Transformation that Old Feng mentioned!” she secretly said to herself, filled with amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even she, accustomed to seeing geniuses in the Capital City, was startled by such a young Master of Energy Transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, Qiao Guoting said gravely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiao Xixi, from the looks of it, it seems you intend to force my hand, this old man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why haven’t you made your move yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi silently cursed in her heart, but her face remained smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder of the Five Clans, you jest. You are my elder, and I would not move against you. The words I spoke were merely in jest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the item is not in the hands of the Elder of the Five Clans, I have disturbed you enough. I shall take my leave now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she did not linger at the Qiao Family, and directly left with the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was decisive in her actions; understanding that with a young Master of Energy Transformation seated here, their goal for tonight was obviously unattainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it was best to retreat immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wait for another opportunity in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left and were in the car, Qiao Xixi said discontentedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How does the Qiao Family have a Master of Energy Transformation standing guard? Who is that young man? What is his relation to Qiao Guoting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiao Guoting only has two granddaughters, Qiao Xue and Qiao Bing, but no grandsons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder known as Old Feng beside her spoke up, “It seems we will have to investigate him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they had gone, everyone in the Qiao Family turned their gaze towards Qiao Guoting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lin Dong’s look carried a hint of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the secret harbored within Qiao Guoting’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not wished to share it with others and had been prepared to take this secret to the grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it was clear that he could no longer hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, he had no choice but to reveal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he spoke to Chu Lan and Chu Yunhai:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two, please step outside for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lan and Chu Yunhai exchanged looks, both appearing somewhat awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, they were outsiders here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were things that Elder Qiao did not wish for them to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying much, however, they obediently rose and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their departure, only Elder Qiao, Qiao Bing, Qiao Xue, Lin Dong, and Chu Yunxiu remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandfather Qiao, should I also leave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong, by now, hardly considered himself part of the Qiao Family, so he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Elder Qiao said, “No need, Lin Dong, you do not need to leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Qiao had always treated Lin Dong as a relative, even though his marriage agreement with Qiao Xue had been dissolved, and the situation was unpleasant. Nonetheless, Elder Qiao still regarded Lin Dong as he would a grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, with Qiao Bing’s involvement, he genuinely considered Lin Dong as close to him as Qiao Xue and Qiao Bing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Dong nodded and did not leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Elder Qiao begin to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you all curious about what just happened? Next, I will tell you about the past of our Qiao Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-06T01:28:03.115Z",1,"novelbin.me","448704bbbec13f37239c3cd788be2dc42b17fd7f200b6c9c41dd4f095f2de637","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-457","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-455",2938,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-cover.jpg"]
