hree-colored ice spirit ginseng, unable to help but curl his lip."Is this what you call top-quality Real Sancai Bingling Ginseng is over a foot long, yours is barely half that! It's clearly smaller."T..."Yes!"
Li Hongru and Wang Wuyi's two old faces flushed crimson, utterly losing all composure as they stood there. They slunk away shamefacedly.
As soon as they left, the other imperial physicians didn't dare to stay any longer and fled the hall one after another.
And just then, a voice dripping with playful sarcasm echoed from the doorway.
"Brother, what's wrong Who made you angry Was it these incompetent doctors under your command"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in white robes and holding a folding fan walked in from outside.
Then, turning back respectfully, he said, "Elder sir, please."
Behind him, an old man with white hair and a long beard walked in, his face full of arrogance.
Ye Bufan's expression changed slightly. This old man truly had the capital for pride; his aura was powerful, and although he couldn't tell what realm he was in specifically, he was definitely among the ranks of celestial immortals.
Xiao Yin's eyebrows raised slightly. The young man who came was Ice Summit Empire's Second Prince Xiao Chong, his younger brother, and the biggest competitor for the throne.
"Brother, those people can't cure Father's illness, so it doesn't matter. You don't need to be angry. After all, they are all useless."
Xiao Chong sneered, "But don't worry, although your men are all trash, my imperial brother has invited a master."
At this point, he looked respectfully at the white-haired elder: "This is Elder Seven from Tiangang Sect, renowned as the Divine Physician Saint Hand."
The elder nodded slightly: "My name is Leng Xilou!"
When the two people finished speaking, Xiao Yin's expression changed involuntarily.
Even though he had never met Leng Xilou, his reputation was well-known.
To put it figuratively, his status in Tianganzong is equivalent to that of Ya Lao in Liuguang Jianzong. He is a master healer with extraordinary medical skills and is known as a divine doctor.
And he keenly sensed that the visitor's purpose in coming today was far from ordinary.
Once upon a time, Tiangang Sect and Liuguang Sword Sect were both among the Four Great Sects, but they also had competition between them, such as the current Bingqiong Empire.
Each sect has its own sphere of influence, and the Ice Pinnacle Empire is located right between the two major sects.
Although it is now a vassal state of the Liuguang Sword Sect, due to its vast territory, large population, and abundant resources, it is also a highly desirable target in the eyes of other sects.
The Tiangang Sect had sent people to negotiate several times, but they were all rejected by Xiao Honglie.
Today, the Seventh Elder personally came to our door. To say there's nothing else going on would be naive.
As for Xiao Chong's thoughts, he was crystal clear. As long as he could pull Xiao Honglie back from the brink of death, the position of prince would likely belong to him in the future.
As expected, before he could even react, Leng Xilou spoke directly.
"I can cure your father's illness, but afterward the Bing Qiong Empire must belong to my Tiangang Sect."
"This won't do!"
Xiao Yin directly refused, “My Bing Qiong Empire is based on the Liúguāng Sword Sect and has nothing to do with Tiāngāng Sect, nor will it belong to you.”
"Xiao Yin, what are you doing Don't you dare harm our father!"
As a member of the royal family, no one is a pushover. Xiao Chong directly threw a big hat at him.
"Our Bingqiong Empire is mainly composed of the Liuguang Sword Sect, but so what My father is critically ill, but has anyone from the Liuguang Sword Sect come to visit"
Just as Xiao Chong seized the opportunity to launch an offensive against Xiao Yin, a faint voice rang out from the side: "Yes, it's me."
Ye Bufan originally wanted to ignore the dispute between the two brothers, but since this matter involved the Liuguangjianzong, he couldn't just stand idly by.
It's not like I can just run there myself and drive the Ice Barrier Empire all the way to Tian Gang Sect. If I did that, I probably couldn't explain it to the Grand Elder when I get back.
That is why he spoke up.
Xiao Chong frowned, as if only now noticing Ye Bufan and the other.
"Who are you What makes you think you have the right to speak to me"
Ye Bufan said faintly, "I'm just from the Liuguang Jianzong. Aren't you looking for me"
Xiao Yin said, "This is the holy envoy sent by Liuguang Jianzong to treat my father!"
His heart was complicated, but there was no other way now. He could only stand on Ye Bufan's side.
Since the situation is now very clear, Xiao Chong has gotten connected with Tiangang Sect. With Leng Xilou backing him, if I go any further, I will inevitably lose to my own younger brother.
Now I can only treat a dead horse as a living one, gritting my teeth and standing on the side of Tiangang Sect, hoping Ye Bufan won't completely disappoint me.
Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment, then burst into a fit of arrogant laughter.
"Haha, that's hilarious! "
He laughed uproariously, "Big brother, I didn't expect that you would be fooled by such a low-level trick! This guy is obviously a con man, how could he possibly be from the Liuguang Sword Sect"
To be honest, with your current mental state, you're really not suited to inherit the throne from your father. Otherwise, the entire Ice Citadel Empire would be ruined under your rule.
"This..."
Xiao Yin's expression changed. To be honest, he had been feeling a little unsettled these days. After seeing Ye Bufan just now, the psychological gap was too big, and for a moment, he was at a loss and didn't think much about it.
Now that Xiao Chong has brought it up, he felt a tightness in his chest. Could it be that he had really been deceived
Although no one in the Ice Citadel Empire should dare to impersonate the Saint Messenger of the Flowing Light Sword Sect, these are just guesses. Perhaps there really are those who are fearless.
And considering Ye Bufan's appearance, it's very possible. Even the most ordinary outer disciples of Liuguang Jianzong wouldn't be without Xianyuan.
If that's really the case, then this person has truly disgraced themselves.
At that, his expression immediately darkened. “Holy Envoy, do you have any credentials”
Of course!
Ye Bufan thought to himself, "Just wait until I take out the deputy hall master's token and give you all a fright."
After he finished speaking, his mind moved, and his divine sense swept towards the storage ring inside. To his astonishment, he couldn't find the token.
"This... my token"
At this moment, he was filled with shock. The item was inside his storage ring; theoretically, it shouldn't have been lost.
If someone could enter their own storage ring silently and invisibly with their divine sense, what level of cultivation would that be This is impossible no matter what.
The most crucial point is that the fairy crystals and various spiritual herbs inside the ring were all intact, yet a token was inexplicably missing. This simply doesn't make sense.
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Xiao Yin's eyes flashed a fierce light: "What, you don't have it It seems like you're really an imposter!"
The bold villain, daring to impersonate the Holy Envoy of the Sword Sect, what crime should he be charged with
"Bring him to me!"
Xiao Yin's rage, all of it, was poured out on Ye Bufan.
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing the guards around him about to make a move, Ye Bufan hastily shouted, then flipped his wrist, and a token appeared in his palm.
Everyone's expression changed, and they all looked over. Afterward, Xiao Chong laughed heartily again.
"Hahaha, it's hilarious! They're actually a registered disciple of the Liuguang Sword Sect!"
Then he looked at Xiao Yin again, "Big brother, the Liuguang Sword Sect is really giving you face. They only sent a registered disciple. It's really laughable!"
Originally, Ye Bufan couldn't find the deputy hall master's token. Unable to do anything about it, he could only take out his own identity token.
Although there's a vast difference in status, at least it proves my identity and prevents these guards from butchering me. to chickens is never a good sign. I won't take this position of deputy hall master!"After he finished speaking, he was about to return the token in his hand.Huabingyu said, “Don't worry, take it easy...
