Ms. Doctor Divine

Kang Li’s elevation to Clan Leader reflected his past as a formidable figure.

Over time, his edge had been dulled by cultivation and clan responsibilities, but he remained resilient—a person not easily intimidated.

The First Elder’s veiled threat was not lost on Kang Li.

Kang Shi’s insight held truth.

Having endured substantial mistreatment as a man, Kang Li pondered the futility of continued tolerance. If life meant enduring such treatment, he might as well face it head-on; trying was more satisfying than resignation.

In the face of this internal resolve, why concern himself with the First Elder?

Kang Li regarded the First Elder impassively. “Let’s set aside the Medicine Sect. I appreciate your well-meaning intentions, First Elder ~”

With those words, he offered a smile. “There are still matters in the clan that require my attention. I’ll go and take a look.”

The First Elder responded with a forced, fake smile.

The forced smile on the First Elder’s face revealed a deep displeasure as he watched Kang Li depart.

In his eyes, the younger one didn’t understand what was good for him, and the older one seemed equally clueless.

These two individuals must be tired of living.

The First Elder harbored dissatisfaction and entertained alternative plans as he returned.

Kang Yan anxiously awaited news. “How did it go?”

The First Elder continued his charade of a fake smile. “Seems like they’re opting for the hard way. In that case, don’t blame me for being less than courteous.”

“…”

“Go and inform Ziluo to send a message to her father. After the Anicca Clan competition, we can take action. There’s no need to delay any longer. It’s very annoying to deal with these people,” the First Elder declared straightforwardly.

Kang Yan comprehended the message.

In contrast, he felt a sense of satisfaction. Although Kang Shi entering the Medicine Sect meant being under their control, Kang Yan found the situation distasteful. If he could see Kang Shi facing challenges, it would be immensely gratifying. He eagerly anticipated such a turn of events.

“I understand, Father,” Kang Yan responded with a smile.

However, the First Elder was brimming with hostility.

This feeling did not sit well with him.

Simultaneously,

Kang Li sought out Kang Shi personally, finding him engrossed in refining pills.

Relieved to witness the proficient display, Kang Li knew that his son, even in dire circumstances, could seize an opportunity to survive.

“Shi’er,” Kang Li called out.

Kang Shi, absorbed in the final stages of refining a pill, responded after completing the process. He emerged with the finished pill in hand. “Father, what brings you here?”

“Firstly, I wanted to check on your well-being. Secondly, the First Elder approached me, suggesting you join the Medicine Sect. I declined,” Kang Li revealed, scrutinizing the situation and surroundings.

Kang Shi worked with a somewhat dilapidated alchemy furnace, and he had strategically planted herbs in the small courtyard. The meticulous cultivation showcased a high survival rate, along with an effort to exchange for certain herbs.

This aligned with the Anicca Race’s rules, allowing disciples to plant herbs and refine pills. Kang Shi’s actions were well within the acceptable norms.

Furthermore, the pills he produced yielded significant benefits. In the past, he had nothing; now, he possessed various Dharma artifacts and defensive items.

“That’s good. As long as you have refused them, father.”
