Chapter 1717: The Unreasonable Lady of the City Lord

"How did you do that?"

Although Zhai Lingxiu appeared calm, a stormy sea raged within her heart.

She had been feeling unwell recently and had seen several renowned doctors, but none had found the problem.

Yet, this Young man, with just a touch, had cured her illness. It was simply too miraculous to believe, and if she hadn't experienced it herself, she probably wouldn't have believed it.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "My exclusive secret skill cannot be passed on. You just need to know that I am an excellent doctor."

"Stop playing tricks. If you're not afraid of death, then come with me."

After Zhai Lingxiu finished speaking, she led the way forward, with Ye Bufan and Su Dingfang following behind.

About 20 minutes later, their group appeared in front of the City Lord's Mansion. Looking at the tall, majestic, yet luxurious residence before him, Ye Bufan secretly marveled. He had never imagined that the scenes he had seen in TV dramas would genuinely appear before him.

Zhai Lingxiu led everyone into the City Lord's Mansion, passing through several courtyards, and finally arriving at the door of a room, which was the bedroom where City Lord Zhai Tianfang resided.

Standing at the door of the room was a Young man in his twenties, with a worried look between his brows. He was Zhai Lingxiu's elder brother, Zhai Tianfang's son, and the Young City Lord, Zhai Gang.

"Brother, I've brought someone to treat Father's illness."

Zhai Lingxiu stepped forward and said.

"Oh! It's Doctor Su. Thank you for your trouble."

Compared to Zhai Lingxiu's straightforward style, Zhai Gang was quite polite and seemed more like a gentle scholar.

His attention was entirely focused on Su Dingfang, completely ignoring Ye Bufan beside him.

However, Ye Bufan dared not underestimate this Young man at all. He felt a huge pressure from Zhai Gang, bringing an extremely dangerous feeling. The opponent's cultivation was at least at the Nascent Soul Stage or above.

"It's nothing. I, Su, will do my best."

Until now, Su Dingfang's heart had always been in his throat, as he had no confidence whatsoever in treating the patient's condition.

"Please follow me."

After Zhai Gang finished speaking, he pushed open the door and led everyone into the room.

Upon entering, Ye Bufan immediately felt a chilling Killing Intent rush towards him. The temperature inside the entire room felt like a different world from outside, extremely cold.

In the center of the room was a bed, and on the bed lay a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, his face pale and his eyes tightly closed.

What was most terrifying was that his eyebrows and beard were still covered with a faint white frost.

Sitting by the bedside was a beautiful young woman of about 30, who was continuously wiping the middle-aged man's face with a towel.

However, shortly after the towel was removed, his eyebrows and beard were once again covered in white frost, showing the intensity of the cold Qi within his body.

Zhai Gang bowed to the beautiful woman: "Aunt, a doctor has come to treat Father's illness."

This woman was precisely Liu Meiniang, the wife of Zhai Tianfang, the City Lord of Tianlang City.

Ye Bufan glanced at her; although her expression was very serious, her words and actions exuded the charm of a mature woman, full of allure.

"It's great that a doctor has come. I, your mother, was dying of anxiety."

Liu Meiniang showed an anxious expression on her face and looked over. When she saw Su Dingfang, her expression changed involuntarily.

"Aren't you Su Dingfang from Taiping Medical Center? You've been here before. Why are you here again? Have you found a way to cure my husband, or are you after the million-gold reward?"

"This…"

Su Dingfang's old face immediately turned a liver-like color, completely at a loss for how to answer.

He had just glanced at Zhai Tianfang on the bed; his condition was much more severe than when he had seen him before. He couldn't treat him before, and now he was even more helpless.

Just then, a faint voice sounded: "I am the one to treat the City Lord."

When Ye Bufan said this, everyone present was startled, including Zhai Gang, who couldn't help but size him up a few times, not expecting this Young man to also be a doctor.

When she clearly saw Ye Bufan's face, Liu Meiniang's expression instantly darkened.

"Boy, are you joking with me?"

Ye Bufan's expression remained calm: "Of course not. I am a doctor, and I am here to treat the City Lord."

Liu Meiniang said, "How can a mere greenhorn like you be qualified to treat my husband?"

"Since I say I can cure it, then I am confident. The City Lord's Mansion's notice clearly states that if I cannot cure the City Lord's illness, I am willing to accept a beating to death!"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, Su Dingfang wanted to step forward to stop him.

But after thinking about it, whether he cured it or not, the outcome today was already destined, so he ultimately held back and said nothing.

"Even if your worthless life dies 100 times, it's not worth one finger of my husband's. How could I let you treat him recklessly?"

Liu Meiniang refused without hesitation, then called out from outside the door: "Someone, drag this madman out and beat him to death!"

Hearing these words, everyone present's expressions changed. Ye Bufan also frowned. He had absolute confidence in his Medical skill, but he hadn't expected the City Lord to have such an unreasonable wife.

Just as he was hesitating whether to resist, Zhai Lingxiu let out an angry shout: "All of you, get back! Who dares to touch the doctor I invited?"

Originally, several warriors had already rushed in menacingly, but hearing her angry shout, they immediately retreated in fear.

Ye Bufan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting this young lady to stand up and speak for him at a crucial moment.

If he really had to break ties and fight for his life, he was quite confident he could escape from the City Lord's Mansion.

But that would completely go against his original intention, which was only to use the City Lord's Mansion to help him find medicinal ingredients, not to establish a powerful enemy.

Moreover, if he escaped, it would harm the Su Family father and daughter, which was also not what he wanted to see.

Liu Meiniang said discontentedly, "Zhai Lingxiu, what are you doing? Letting such a Young man treat your father, do you want to kill him?"

"You are the one who wants to kill my father! I've invited a doctor, and you won't let him treat him. Are you just going to let my father die?"

Zhai Lingxiu retaliated, not giving an inch. It was clear that the relationship between her and this aunt was not harmonious.

"What did you say? How could I wish for my husband to die!" Liu Meiniang cried angrily, "Zhai Lingxiu, have you forgotten how your father became like this? It was all those quack doctors who harmed him."

Zhai Lingxiu argued: "He is the doctor I invited, and his Medical skill is very good. I've already tested it, so how could he be a quack!"

Ye Bufan secretly nodded. It seemed that the display he had put on earlier was quite effective, having completely conquered this little girl.

"What a joke! How old is he? Even if he started learning Medical skill at birth, how good could he be? In any case, I cannot let him treat my husband haphazardly!"

Zhai Lingxiu was furious: "Then what do you want? Are you just going to watch my father get sicker day by day?"

Liu Meiniang said, "Of course not. I have already sent someone to the Royal City to invite Divine Doctor Xue. As soon as the Divine Doctor arrives, my husband's illness can be cured immediately."

Just as the two were arguing back and forth, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door: "Divine Doctor Xue has arrived!"
