something wrong with your ears Didn't I make myself clear enoughThis isn't about money. If this gets out, people will think I'm paying protection for my girlfriend. Where would I put my face, Han Li..."This is a long story, and I'd better start from the beginning."

Since Ye Bufan was calm, Nie Guan Yun also made up his mind. At worst, they would die together, so he began to slowly recount the story.

"I was originally from Tianqiong Prefecture. In recent years, I have been doing business in the Barbarous Continent, transporting liquor, silk, and cloth from the human realm to exchange for some specialties here."

Things were going very smoothly at first. Although the Savage Continent resisted the human race, it was very welcoming to doctors and merchants.

Furthermore, the old man has been contributing a considerable sum of wealth to the City Lord's Mansion every year. Therefore, he has remained safe and sound all these years.

"Business has been booming, and we've now established the Official Merchants Association."

He sighed and said, "Everything was going well at first, but then disaster struck."

Yesterday, my daughter lost her handkerchief on the street and just happened to meet Bruhl at that moment.

He is the son of Lord Bayal, the ruler of Shi Lin Prefecture. He has always been domineering and tyrannical here, bullying men and women alike. With the strength of a barbarian king, no one can match him based on sheer power.

This man immediately developed a crooked mind after seeing Xiaoqian and insisted on forcing the old man to marry his daughter off to the city lord's mansion.

"I disagree, and I get labeled that way. Today they came to my door again to try to take someone..."

Nie Guanyun's words came out with gritted teeth at the end, everything was similar to Ye Bufan's guess.

Plots of men bullying women typically follow a similar pattern. The difference lies in the specific father-daughter relationship they encounter.

"Elderly person, what are your plans for the future"

After this kind of thing happened, Shi Linfu can't stay there anymore.

I am preparing to return to Tianqiong Prefecture with Xiaoqian. Over these years, I have earned some money and in the future, I will live a comfortable life as a wealthy man.

Nie Guan Yun said nervously again, "Little Divine Doctor, that City Lord Bayar pampers his son excessively, otherwise he wouldn't have become like this."

You wounded Bruhuan, the lord of the city's people will be here soon. You better leave quickly."

"It's nothing, a mere city lord can't cause much of a stir."

Ye Bufan was brimming with confidence. With his current strength, even a Level 1 Barbarian King wouldn't be in his eyes, and he could even fight against a lower-ranked Barbarian Emperor.

Thinking of the Barbarian Emperor, a red-haired woman immediately appeared in his mind: "Old man, is there a well-known Barbarian Emperor in this Stone Forest Mansion"

Nie Guanyun shook his head: "This is impossible. The Barbarian Emperor holds supreme authority throughout the entire Barren Lands and would never come to a small place like Shi Lin Prefecture."

Ye Bufan thought to himself, it seems that the woman was just passing through and breaking through her cultivation, she doesn't belong here.

But thinking about it, her cultivation had reached the late stage of Barbarian Emperor, comparable to a powerhouse in the late tribulation period.

Such tyrannical cultivation would definitely not be an unknown figure on the Barbaric Continent, nor could it possibly humble itself to a small place like Shi Lin Mansion.

Thinking about this, he asked, "Do you know if there is a red-haired female barbarian queen among the barbarians"

"As for that, I'm not sure. After all, I'm just a businessman. I know little about barbarian affairs."

Ye Bufan secretly sighed and put the redhead woman's matter aside for now.

He continued, "I'm going to Qingye King City. I would also trouble you to draw me a map of the route."

"Is the young physician going to Qinyefang City No need for a drawing, this old man and his daughter are also going to Qinyefang City."

Nie Guanyun said, "In a few days it will be the day that King Qingye chooses a husband. I still have one last batch of goods to send over..."

As soon as he said this, Ye Bufan's expression changed drastically. "What do you mean Who wants to marry someone"

Nie Guan Yun was taken aback by his reaction and blurted out subconsciously, "King Qing Ye!"

"This... how is this possible"

Ye Bufan was excited, "Didn't she just give birth Why is she getting married now"

Before, when Qingye Wang asked him for a seed, he had said it was to refuse the marriage arranged by his family.

Given the timeline, shouldn't the child be born by now Why are you starting to look for a son-in-law again

Although he was completely forced at the time, in his heart he had already regarded the other person as his woman.

Now that his own woman is getting married and he has to find a cheap father for his child, this is something he can't accept no matter what.

Nie Guanyun was completely astonished. He couldn't understand why Qingye King's marriage proposal would elicit such a strong reaction from the little divine doctor.

"That... I don't know either."

My Cloud Watching Merchant Guild is quite small, with most of our business between Tianqiong Prefecture and Shilin Mansion. I've only been to Qingye Royal City once.

This time it's because King Qingye is looking for a husband, and the demand for things like alcohol is huge, so they came here to place an order. I don't know much about the specifics over there.

The old man's words are true. In this era, communication is far less developed than on Earth. All information comes from personal experience and understanding.

And he, being a member of this tribe, wouldn't normally wander about so freely. His language skills are also limited, so his knowledge of the Wild Lands is rather scant.

Ye Bufan also knows that it's not fair to blame others. He can only figure out the specifics by going there himself.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

Then tell me, when is the wedding

Nie Guanyun said, "The steward of the Wangfu said that in three days, he requires me to deliver the wine and water to the capital within three days."

If it weren't for this incident, I would have already left.

Are there still three days left Ye Bufan's hanging heart finally settled.

Shilin Mansion is 100,000 miles away from Qingye King City. At his current speed, he could reach there in a day if he hurried a bit. Three days would be more than enough time.

His heart was still very eager. He said, "Elderly person, please prepare quickly, we'll leave now, the sooner the better."

Nie Guanyun said, "There's nothing left to prepare. Let's go now."

The goods ordered by King Qingye had already been prepared inside his storage ring, he just needed to leave with his daughter.

He took out some money to dismiss the household staff, and then he and Ye Bufan prepared to leave.

Just then, a violent commotion erupted outside, followed by several deafening booms. The outer walls of the Nie family estate collapsed with a thunderous roar, and hundreds of barbarian soldiers surged in from beyond.

These people are clad in armor and wield weapons, each one radiating a menacing aura.

Leading the way was a sturdy middle-aged man, none other than Bayar, the lord of Shi Lin Prefecture.

Behind him, four men carried a stretcher on which sat his son, Bruhwan.

"Who is it Did they eat a lion's heart Someone dares to touch my son in Shi Lin Mansion!"

"Come out here, I'll cut him to pieces today!"

Bayar was the emperor of this Stoneland, wielding absolute power over countless lives. He spoke with an air of authority that commanded respect.

Just seeing his son beaten like that, he was furious and immediately led his soldiers over to take revenge.

In his eyes, he was the heaven and earth at Shilin Mansion, with no one to rival him.

Nie Guan Yun was about to step forward, but Ye Bu Fan pulled him back.

He strode out, his gaze sweeping over the assembled crowd. Then with a flick of his wrist, a golden beam slashed through the air.

These barbarians hadn't even seen how he made his move before a deafening boom echoed from behind them.

Everyone turned around and saw that a ditch, about a hundred zhang long and bottomless, had appeared in the street behind them.nishment on his face."This..."At this moment, Jiang Fangzhou and the others steadied themselves once more, preparing to strike again, but he raised his hand to stop them."Well, we're not their match."...
