Chapter 1,228. Who came up with this wicked name?

Miyamoto Kazuki's smile grew more insidious: "That… it's not too big of a deal, we just hope that after the treatment, you can help our Family Head achieve a Breakthrough to the Saint Rank."

Ye Bufan's expression changed: "My goodness, that's not a big deal? Do you take me for a Medical Immortal?"

"Well, aren't you a Medical Immortal? And our Family Head has been stagnant at Celestial Realm Great Perfection for many years, with a deep foundation, only a tiny bit away from a Breakthrough."

Miyamoto Kazuki said with a smile, "Our Miyamoto believes you have this ability. As long as you can help our Family Head achieve a Breakthrough, we will immediately send Ms. Changsun back unharmed."

Ye Bufan sneered inwardly. This was an empty promise. Little did they know that he had already overheard the conversation between Miyamoto Hideki and Miyamoto Arataichi, and was well aware of their plot.

But he didn't care. Since they wanted to play, he would play along and see who could outwit whom.

"You're right, I can indeed help your Family Head achieve a Breakthrough, but I'll add to my conditions: 2 billion usd, not a single cent less."

In fact, he was very clear that the Miyamoto's plan was to kill the donkey after it had ground the mill, and they would never give him any benefits, nor would they release Changsun Dongju.

However, if he agreed too readily, it would make the Miyamoto suspicious. Only by opening his mouth wide and increasing his bargaining chip would the other party believe him.

Sure enough, seeing Ye Bufan agree to his terms, Miyamoto Kazuki was overjoyed.

"Mr. Ye, 2 billion usd is too much. Our Miyamoto doesn't have that much liquid capital. How about this? 500 million usd."

"1.5 billion usd…"

"800 million usd…"

Ye Bufan said, "1 billion usd. This is my bottom line."

"Deal! As long as you can cure our Family Head's injuries and help him achieve a Breakthrough to the Saint Rank, we will immediately present 1 billion usd with both hands."

Miyamoto Kazuki said, sneering inwardly, "I hope you'll be alive to spend it."

"Then it's settled. You rest and recuperate. I'll come find you when all the medicinal ingredients are ready."

After he finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Ye Bufan called out to Miyamoto Kazuki, then a light flashed in his eyes, and he used the Soul Capture Technique.

Where exactly was Mermaid Island? Why couldn't even the Watanabe Family's strength find this island? Even if he rescued Changsun Dongju in the end, he had to figure it out, otherwise it would become a knot in his heart.

"Tell me, where is Mermaid Island?"

He asked this question.

Although this guy in front of him had no cultivation, he was a core member of the Miyamoto, so he should know where Mermaid Island was.

A hint of confusion flashed in Miyamoto Kazuki's eyes, and he said, "It's 30 miles in the East Sea of Kyoto. It has already returned."

"Returned?" Ye Bufan's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "The Mermaid Island you're talking about is a ship?"

Miyamoto Kazuki said, "It's our Miyamoto's private yacht."

"Uh…" Ye Bufan had an urge to curse, "Who came up with such a terrible name?"

He never expected that Mermaid Island was the name of a ship. No wonder he had searched almost all the islands in the Great Dog Country, and even the Watanabe Family couldn't find where this Mermaid Island was. It turned out to be just a ship.

However, recalling the situation at the time, Miyamoto Hideki said that Changsun Dongju was hidden on Mermaid Island. Even if he searched the entire Kyoto, he wouldn't find her.

It seemed that at the time, the other party meant that the person was hidden on the ship, and he couldn't find anyone on land, which misled him and made him focus on the islands.

But now it was too late even if he knew. It was too late to search that yacht and rescue her. He could only think of a way later.

But at least he figured out what was going on. With a thought, he withdrew his Soul Capture Technique and casually erased Miyamoto Kazuki's memory.

Miyamoto Kazuki felt dizzy for a moment, then returned to normal.

He didn't care either, raising his hand to pat his head. Perhaps the dizziness was caused by overwork these past few days.

"Mr. Ye, you rest. I'll go back first."

After speaking, he turned and left the room.

As soon as Miyamoto Kazuki left, Ye Bufan's phone rang. It was Watanabe Yui calling.

The call connected, and a voice full of apologies said, "Ye Jun, I'm sorry. We have searched all the island data here, and we haven't found Mermaid Island."

"It's okay, I've already figured it out. It's not an island at all."

Ye Bufan briefly explained the situation of Mermaid Island, "You don't need to look anymore. I've already negotiated terms with the Miyamoto."

"Ye Jun, this is the second thing I wanted to tell you." Watanabe Yui said, "Just now, the Watanabe Family received an invitation from the Miyamoto, asking us to send out Saint Rank masters to jointly kill you after you cure Miyamoto Arataichi.

I guess they didn't just invite our Watanabe Family. The other major families should have also received invitations."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. The Miyamoto really thought highly of him, inviting so many masters.

It seemed that his sudden departure earlier had made them wary, and they felt that his actions were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Watanabe Yui asked, "Ye Jun, should we agree or not?"

"Agree, of course, agree." Ye Bufan said, "Tell Lin Tianyu to continue impersonating Watanabe Mitsuyoshi, and then listen to my command."

The reason he had Lin Tianyu impersonate Watanabe Mitsuyoshi before also had this meaning, and now it was just the right time for it to play a role.

When the other party had his mole, it would be much easier to rescue Changsun Dongju. Otherwise, if he had to worry about repercussions, he would definitely be in a lot of trouble.

"Then I understand."

Watanabe Yui hung up the phone after speaking. Ye Bufan also put away his phone and playfully scanned the corners of the room.

Under his Divine Sense, he could clearly see the several eavesdropping devices in the room, but he had already set up a soundproofing barrier, so the other party could only see him making a call but couldn't hear anything. They must be anxious.

In fact, that was exactly the case. Miyamoto Hideki sat in his room, watching Ye Bufan make a call but couldn't hear a single word, which made him extremely angry.

He looked at Miyamoto Kazuki next to him and said angrily, "What's going on? Where did you get that eavesdropping equipment? Why did it break down at a crucial moment?"

"Young Family Head, this is the best eavesdropping equipment. It has never had any problems during countless tests, but who knew it would suddenly break down now?"

Miyamoto Kazuki was also very puzzled as to why several eavesdropping devices collectively failed, and everything returned to normal as soon as the call was hung up.

Miyamoto Hideki waved his hand, "Forget it, don't worry about it so much for now. He's going to die anyway."

Soon it was noon, and all the medicinal ingredients purchased by the Miyamoto arrived.

Miyamoto Kazuki came to Ye Bufan's room: "Mr. Ye, all our medicinal ingredients have been gathered. Please make your move."

Ye Bufan said, "Where is my mother? She must be next to me when I treat him."

Miyamoto Kazuki said, "Don't worry, Ms. Changsun is already on her way and will arrive in half an hour. Would you like to check the medicinal ingredients now?"

"You send the medicinal ingredients over first. I'll refine them, and then I can treat your Family Head."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Miyamoto Kazuki's attitude was very polite. He waved his hand outside, and someone immediately brought in the purchased medicinal ingredients.

After placing all the medicinal ingredients, he asked, "Mr. Ye, do you think this is acceptable?"
