ntrol for so many years that it had become a habit, and breaking free from it was incredibly difficult; it would take immense courage."There's nothing left to say. This is your last chance. I estimate..."You..."
A hundred-li journey requires a person to be both angry and embarrassed, as the saying goes: "Don't hit someone's face when you fight, and don't expose their weaknesses when you scold them."
Ye Bufan bringing up the fact that the crown prince had been kidnapped three times in public was tantamount to slapping him in the face.
This matter, after all, was known to everyone in the entire imperial city of the Holy Dragon Empire. It was impossible to conceal it, and there was no way to defend against it.
Gritting his teeth, he said stubbornly, "That was done by bandits to extort money from my royal treasury. What does that have to do with wrongdoing..."
"Well, I don't have time to hear you talk about this nonsense."
Before he could finish his words, Yu Mu Tong impatiently waved his hand. "Let's just stop here for today. Things definitely weren't done by Doctor Ye."
As for who is framing someone, that's a small matter you should investigate yourselves. Figure it out and solve it yourselves. If you can't find out, then it's your incompetence.
"That..."
His words were like a hammer blow, sealing the deal. Bai Li Xingkong and the others - Nan Gong Shangyuan included - exchanged glances before ultimately nodding in resignation.
All present bowed to Mu Tong in farewell before leaving the dwelling of Xuan Tianmen.
"I'm so mad!"
After leaving, Nangong Shangyuan's face was full of anger. "I'm certain that Ye Bufan is the one who attacked us. I just don't know what means he used to bribe the chief steward to speak for him."
Feng Manlou nodded in agreement: “That’s right, it would be impossible to frame him. The poison that could incapacitate a cultivator at the peak of the Great Ascension stage could only have been concocted by someone like him, the Medical Immortal.”
"Bai Li Xing sighed: 'We all know this is all that Ye kid's doing, but as things stand, Xuan Tian Men is determined to protect him. What can we possibly do' "
"Don't worry, everyone," Lin Miaozhen said with a sly smile. "This might not be such a bad thing after all."
"Why not good"
Hua Si Jin said angrily, "Now things are clear. It was Ye Bufan who did this, but the Grand Steward asked us to find the imposter. Where do we even begin to look"
We can't find him, but we can have him come to us.
Li Miaozhen smiled and said, "Haven't you all noticed yet This kid, Ye Bufan, has always been arrogant and reckless."
He had said before, to limit us leaving the Dragon Emperor City today. If we didn't leave, what would the consequences be
"You mean we just have to sit here and wait for that kid to come looking for us"
"That's right, and the benefits don't stop there," Li Miaozhen said. "If Xuantianmen openly stands up to protect Ye Bufan, we really wouldn't dare to do anything to him."
Now the Grand Master has publicly stated that we have other enemies besides ourselves.
This means that we have complete control over how to deal with the person who framed us. We don't have to worry about Xuan Tian Men's face.
When she said that, the anger on the faces of the people around her vanished, and they couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, Elder Li is indeed wise and resourceful. It's really like that."
Baili Xingkong laughed, "Previously we were still worrying about how to deal with that kid under the protection of Xuantianmen, but now it seems everything is unnecessary."
"When Ye Bufan comes to our door himself, we'll treat him as a counterfeit and get rid of him. Even the head steward won't be able to say anything about it."
Everyone else nodded in agreement, thinking it was a stroke of luck.
Li Miaozhen said, "Now the bad things have turned into good things, and what's left is that we must seize the opportunity and never let that kid run away."
"This is impossible!"
Feng Manlou said with confidence, “Even if that kid is a prodigy, we have five peak Nascent Soul cultivators here. There’s no way he can escape!”
Hua Si Jin nodded frequently: "That's right, last time we were careless and fell for his poison. This time, there's absolutely no way that will happen again."
Bai Li Xingkong said: "That's right, if it were a real fight, I could kill him with one hand. Besides, we have five people on our side."
"The reasoning is sound, but we still need to be careful."
Li Miaozhen cautiously said, "That kid rarely wins openly and aboveboard. He always has some tricks up his sleeve. We must be cautious and absolutely not take him lightly."
"He's just good at using poison, that's all," Nan Gong Shang Yuan sneered. "But we don't eat or drink, I don't believe he can poison us. That would be defying heaven!"
His words weren't entirely without merit. To poison a powerhouse at the peak of Mahayana, if you didn't get it into their food, relying on the air alone would be extremely difficult, with almost no chance of success. Wind Manlou said: "Elder Li is right. No matter what, we can only succeed this time, not fail. We still have to be careful."
I suggest that from now on, we few should always be together, and refuse all food, until we completely subdue that kid.
Li Miaozhen said, "Your Highness needn't worry. If we make too much of a fuss, what if he doesn't dare to show himself"
"So the prince should busy himself with whatever he needs to do. We four acted as if we were shut indoors and afraid to go out, just waiting for his arrival."
"Sure!"
Li Miaozhen's proposal was agreed upon by everyone, so Bai Li Xingkong returned to the Prince's Mansion. The four of them returned to the inn.
We found a small courtyard to live in together.
When these people left, Ye Bufan finished the last cup of tea and then bid farewell to Yu Mu before returning to rest.
A silent night, everything was calm.
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Bufan once again dispelled the seal on that woman's body.
After about three hours, half of the remaining seal was broken, leaving only about one-third of it intact.
"Sister, if you come again tomorrow, the seal on you will be completely lifted."
The woman was in high spirits and smiled sweetly, “Thank you, Doctor Ye!”
Ye Bufan bid farewell and left the room. Yu Mù sent him out, then turned back.
"My lord, those people from several sects arrived yesterday. They said that Doctor Ye attacked them..."
Yuan Mutong briefly recounted the events and finally said, "Though I didn't see him leave, I feel he's involved somehow. Should we investigate privately"
"Well, aren't you just bored"
She gave him a withering glance, her bearing radiating the aura of someone in power.
So what If it isn't, so what It's just a bunch of ants. Do we need to bother ourselves with them
The woman waved her hand and said, “This kind of thing shouldn't affect my treatment or the reputation of my Xuan Tian Men. As for the rest, let them do what they want.”
"Yes!"
Yuan Mu Tong respectfully bowed, then turned and walked out.ace couldn't possibly mobilize this many Martial Saints.Ye Bufan picked up his beer and took a swig, smiling. "Of course it's true, I always keep my word."His goal was to thoroughly intimidate the per...
