The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife
chapter-864

“Why?”

“Because Grandmaster Hai Rong is not the same as Grandmaster Qian Kun. Grandmaster Qian Kun has an in-depth understanding of medical knowledge, but he is rather poor in terms of strength. However, Grandmaster Hai Rong has very great strength.” Old Lady Luo caressed Luo Li’s head. “So, even if the old master of the Mu family was seriously ill, the manor master will at most only cause some troubles to the Mu family. He will not really punish them.”

It was impossible for Grandmaster Hai Rong to damage the reputation of the Mu family due to his temperament. But he would also not avenge the Mu family.

Mu Ling also understood this very well. That was why he was so desperate to form an alliance with the manor master through Nan Xian’s marriage.

What he wanted was power, not to protect the Mu family. Grandmaster Hai Rong could not give him what he wanted.

It was also because of this that the manor master had to cancel the marriage and refuse to let the Mu family visit his manor. Nonetheless, he would still not hurt the Mu family.

If their lives were in danger, Grandmaster Hai Rong would certainly help them.

“Let me give you a simple example. Everyone in the reclusive world knows Tian Ya. They know that he has no other stronger forces supporting him. He has always been fighting alone.” Old Lady Luo smiled bitterly. “Tian Shen Manor, Deities Gate, and the Divine Herbs Sect are the three largest forces on the mainland. They are so famous all over the world because of their strong power.”

“However, there are some strong men who don’t really care about that. They don’t want to build any forces. They are still many strong men who would rather fight alone like Tian Ya.”

Some people thought that building a force would slow down their cultivation. Therefore, they would always find a quiet place to cultivate.

There were too many such powerful men on the mainland.

They did not show themselves to the world. Thus, no one knew their names, which had led to the idea that the three major forces were the strongest in the world.

Luo Li finally understood.

If someone wanted to hurt Xiao Qing, even the manor master might not be able to protect her.

“Furthermore, there are still many places that you don’t know about in this world.” Old Lady Luo’s expression grew more helpless. “The place that Tian Ya has gone to still can’t be reached by anyone to this day. It is said that whoever goes inside the place would basically never return.

“At that time, someone has used a secret method to forcibly retain a soul and step into that world. Many years later, that person’s soul token was broken. Hence, everyone knew that he has died in that world. However, that person has only left a sentence to that soul that remained.

“He told all his disciples to not enter that world! That is their clan’s rule. Anyone who broke the rule would be kicked out!

“No one knows what that world looks like. But if it was not too dangerous, why would that person say this? Li’er, this world is too big. We can only reach certain places in this world. The strong men that you think as strong might not be really strong men.”

Luo Li remained silent. She listened to Old Lady Luo’s words quietly.

If it was not for her grandmother’s words, she really would have continued to think that the three major forces were the strongest in the world. She thought the manor master–Gu Shi could really protect Xiao Qing.

It was only now that she knows how naive she was.

“Grandmother, I understand now.” Luo Li raised her small head. Her eyes glowed. “This world is so big and there are many strong people. I will also work hard to cultivate and strive to catch up with my little fox in the future.”
