Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City

Chapter 1571 - 1569: Lan Zhengqing, Kneel!

Bang!

In broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Lan Zhengqing actually really knelt down to Mo Fan, his whole face expressionless like a puppet, his eyes empty and hollow, his soul gone.

The Lan Zhengqing who looked down on all beings and acted like he was untouchable.

Just like that, he knelt!

Huff!

Huff!

Huff!

All the亡民present, including Qiu Xi, gasped sharply, held their breath, their hearts skipping half a beat!

Shock.

Way too shocking!

They had never imagined a scene like this would ever appear.

That’s right.

They hadn’t even dared to imagine it before!

Back then Lan Zhengqing was so arrogant and overbearing, so狂妄and violent! It was absolutely impossible for him to bow his head to anyone. Even Gong Wenya could not completely conquer Lan Zhengqing.

Whenever Lan Zhengqing’s name was mentioned, everyone carried fearful hatred with it.

Afraid.

And hateful!

Before they carried out a killing, they would always let the assassin ask the target one question.

And almost all of the targets would ask whose people these亡民were.

When they learned it was Lan Zhengqing.

The fear in their eyes surged up, bursting out on the spot.

Not simple fear, but terror and panic that came from the lungs, rising straight from the depths of their hearts.

Either they turned into lunatics, babbling nonsense; or they turned into mutes, not saying a single word.

This was the fear Lan Zhengqing brought to the Five Elements Realm, already deeply rooted in the heart of every person in the Five Elements Realm, an unshakable shadow!

Yet.

This very Lan Zhengqing who made the entire Five Elements Realm feel fear, shock, dread, panic, admiration, and envy.

At this very moment.

Was willingly, properly kneeling in front of Lin Fan.

No matter how unwilling he was inside, no matter how his tense body resisted.

The undeniable fact was that Lan Zhengqing had knelt, both knees on the ground, respectfully kneeling!

This wasn’t Lin Fan forcing him; he chose to kneel of his own accord.

The impact of such a scene on the亡民and on Qiu Xi went without saying. They had never thought a day like this would come. They all thought that as long as they followed Lan Zhengqing they could climb to the peak of life, shed the身份of亡民, and live like normal people.

They had never imagined that Lan Zhengqing would also have a day when he’d be defeated.

But.

That day had finally come, and it had come so fast.

It completely overturned their imagination and beliefs.

The notions they’d formed before were completely shattered by Lin Fan!

Their image of Lan Zhengqing dissipated with it, vanishing without a trace!

All the亡民had their eyes bulging, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing. Some shook their heads hard, thinking they were hallucinating. Some rubbed their eyes fiercely, thinking they’d misseen. Some even slapped themselves twice, thinking they were dreaming.

But once they realized all of this was real, they completely changed how they looked at Lin Fan.

You have to know.

These亡民had all originally been loyal followers of Lan Zhengqing, unwilling to run, wanting to open up new lands with him, wanting to give their lives for him.

However, Lin Fan had completely crushed their fantasies.

They now all turned to Lin Fan’s side, and toward Lan Zhengqing they only had disdain, disappointment laced with a hint of contempt.

"Young Master Lan knelt down!"

"What Young Master Lan, heh! In front of Young Master Lin, he’s just an ant with an arm cut off!"

"Yeah! Hahaha, just an ant! What was he pretending to be so badass for?!"

"We were really fooled by him, thought he was some big deal. In the end he actually knelt just for an arm!"

"Utterly disgraceful! We were really stupid too, actually let him play us in circles."

"Lan Zhengqing, oh Lan Zhengqing, your lifetime of reputation ends here!"

"The Five Elements Realm will no longer have the legend of Lan Zhengqing! The Lan Zhengqing of the past is already dead at this moment."

All kinds of sighs, all kinds of mockery, all kinds of contempt, all kinds of cheers.

Rang out without end.

Lan Zhengqing knelt on the ground, head hanging, face ashen. He had no reaction at all to the亡民’s extreme ridicule, as if the person they were talking about was someone else, someone who had nothing to do with him.

He just knelt there in the snow, letting snowflakes fall on his body, his head, his shoulders. The swirling snow instantly draped him in a white blanket.

Lan Zhengqing shut out all sounds from the outside world, cleared his mind, knelt straight and upright, and was just about to kowtow.

"Hold it!"

Lin Fan suddenly shouted, stopping Lan Zhengqing’s action.

Lan Zhengqing’s body clearly twitched, and he jerked his head up, fury blazing, his gaze venomous.

"Lin Fan! Don’t push your luck and get too arrogant! ’Spare others when you can,’ you must’ve heard that saying. I’ve already knelt, I’m already prepared to kowtow and admit I was wrong! What else do you want from me?! Don’t you force me—"

He opened his bloody mouth and roared, voice tearing his throat.

Obviously.

Lan Zhengqing had reached his breaking point; the string in his head was stretched taut and could snap at any time.

Once it snapped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t get worked up." Lin Fan lazily waved his hand, smiling leisurely. "I never said I was going to push my luck. What are you so nervous for? The mighty Young Master Lan is already kneeling to me, what more could I be dissatisfied with?"

As he spoke, he twisted Lan Zhengqing’s arm, still playing with it like a toy, grinning roguishly, who knew what nasty idea he was brewing next.

Lan Zhengqing was honestly scared now!

Afraid Lin Fan would suddenly go back on his word and come up with even more humiliating tricks.

Right now he was regretting to the extreme!

If he’d known Lin Fan would be this ruthless, he would’ve just apologized from the start and wouldn’t have had to kneel, kowtow, and apologize like this.

But things had come to this point; he could only cut his losses in time. Otherwise he couldn’t imagine what humiliations might be waiting down the line.

"Then what exactly do you want?!" Lan Zhengqing gritted his teeth and roared.

"I don’t want anything. I’m just giving you a little reminder. You’re not kneeling to me, you’re kneeling to Qiu Xi. Just now you didn’t ’spare others when you could’ with Qiu Xi either. I’m letting you off now, that’s already me being as仁至义尽as I can."

"So you’re not apologizing to me, you’re apologizing to Qiu Xi. Looks like you still haven’t figured it out. I’m the one who beat you, but the one you hurt was Qiu Xi. You need to apologize for your rudeness and disrespect to her, got it?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes and shrugged as he spoke.

Gulp.

Lan Zhengqing swallowed hard, his cheeks twitching slightly.

He let out a long breath in his heart.

He thought Lin Fan was going to pull some new stunt again; turns out it was just to remind him he was kneeling to the wrong person. That was easy, he just had to turn around.

Since he was already kneeling anyway, he had to keep his arm. Otherwise wouldn’t all this kneeling and kowtowing be for nothing?!

Lan Zhengqing twisted his body to face Qiu Xi.

Qiu Xi’s face was full of shock and bewilderment, a faint unease and discomfort rising in her heart. The notion of the mighty Lan Zhengqing kneeling and kowtowing to her was something she had never even considered.

"Brother Lin Fan..."

"Don’t panic, what are you afraid of? Lan Zhengqing’s already shamelessly kneeling; you’re the one who can’t handle it now? Sit still. It’s nothing big. His arm is still in my hand; he wouldn’t dare pull anything."

Lin Fan sneered, pressing one hand on Qiu Xi’s shoulder, speaking softly to reassure her.

"O-okay..."

Feeling the warmth from Lin Fan’s palm, Qiu Xi finally relaxed a bit.

The next second.

Without any warning!

Dong dong dong!

Lan Zhengqing, kneeling facing Qiu Xi, solemnly knocked three loud kowtows and said in a clear voice.

"I’m sorry!"
