Chapter 2013 Bullying Me

The female assassin realized things were going south. She threw away the dagger in her hand and prepared to retreat, but it was already too late.

With a muffled thud, her body was thrown backward like a broken sack, slamming heavily into the wall.

When she fell to the ground again, her bones were shattered, and she was completely lifeless.

At this, the joyful atmosphere in the room vanished, immediately followed by a series of piercing screams.

These courtesans present were all ordinary people; they had never seen such a scene before. Seeing someone dead, they were all scared out of their wits, panicking, and frantically running towards the door.

In the blink of an eye, only the madam was left in the room.

Ye Bufan dealt with the female assassin with one punch, then looked over with a cold gaze.

Although the madam hadn't left, she was now pale with fright, trembling all over.

“Young… Young Master, I… I really don’t know what’s going on.”

Ye Bufan could tell she wasn't lying and asked in confusion, “Is she not one of your girls?”

“No, really not!” The madam quickly explained, “I found her a bit strange earlier; there are many girls on the market now, and I’ve never seen her before.

However, new girls come in here every day, so I didn't pay too much attention, thinking I'd question her after this was over, but I didn't expect something like this to happen.”

“So that’s how it is. Then who did this?”

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, and just then, a figure flashed through the room, directly taking Song Yaoji from beside him.

He was startled; this person’s speed was extremely fast, and the Aura emanating from him was also extremely astonishing. He was clearly a strong expert at the Body Integration Stage.

Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged scholar of forty or fifty years old appear in the room, wearing a gray robe, with a face as fair as jade, holding a folding fan.

If an ordinary person saw him, they would truly think he was a powerless scholar, but Ye Bufan could clearly feel that this was definitely a very formidable and ruthless character.

The man took Song Yaoji back ten meters away, then pointed with his folding fan, and the madam fell to the ground with a thud, fainting.

At the same time, eight more dark figures appeared in the room, surrounding Ye Bufan in the center. Any one of these people, if pulled out, would be a strong expert of the Void Refining Realm.

Ye Bufan didn't recognize these people, but Song Yaoji was full of joy, looking at the middle-aged scholar and calling out, “Elder Wang, did Father send you to save me?”

It turns out this person

was Wang Jin, an Elder of Prince Anshun’s manor, whose cultivation was second only to the previous bald Zhao Lian, having already reached the Body Integration Middle Stage.

Before Wang Jin could speak, Song Yaoji turned to Ye Bufan, gnashing her teeth and shouting, “Elder Wang, quickly kill him! I want to dismember him into ten thousand pieces.”

“No, just capture him; I want to kill him with my own hands…”

At this moment, her eyes were filled with hatred. As a Princess of the Prince’s manor, when had she ever suffered such humiliation and hardship over so many years?

Wang Jin smiled slightly, gentle and refined: “Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle this person.”

Song Yaoji shouted again, “Hurry up and act! I want to kill him!”

Wang Jin nodded, then turned his head to look over: “Young man, no wonder the Prince values you so much; you truly have some skill.

However, having been poisoned by Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder and having recklessly used your True Qi, your death is imminent!”

“Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder?”

Ye Bufan still had a faint smile on his face, picking up the wine glass in front of him, “Are you talking about what was put in here? I just thought the taste was a bit different, and it was quite good to drink!”

Wang Jin frowned slightly, evidently not expecting such a reaction from the other party upon learning he was poisoned.

“Young man, do you think I’m trying to trick you? If you’re poisoned by Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder, you’ll surely die without an antidote!

Now, come back with me and obey the Prince’s orders; perhaps you can still save your life, otherwise, today will be your death day!”

Ye Bufan chuckled mockingly: “There are so many scammers these days. When you say that, I really feel like you’re taking advantage of my honesty.

I feel perfectly fine right now; where do I look poisoned at all?”

“You…”

Wang Jin was so angry he was speechless for a moment. When others were poisoned by Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder, they were all scared out of their wits, but this guy in front of him was acting as if it were a joke.

“Speechless, aren’t you? I told you, you’re taking advantage of an honest person.”

As Ye Bufan spoke, he stood up from his seat, “Didn’t you say Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder? Then I’ll walk a few steps and see.”

After speaking, he began to walk forward step by step.

Wang Jin’s expression changed: “Young man, I tell you, if you are poisoned by Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder, you will surely die within seven steps, and besides, you have already recklessly used your True Qi, so you won't even last seven steps.”

He wasn't worried about Ye Bufan's safety; rather, Song Jian had given orders before he came that if they could capture him alive, they should, but if not, they could kill him on the spot.

If this guy in front of him died so confusedly, his merit would be

reduced by half.

Ye Bufan, however, paid no attention, walking forward with large strides while counting numbers aloud.

“One step… two steps… seven steps… eight steps… Huh, I’ve already walked over a dozen steps, and look, nothing’s happened? I told you you were taking advantage of an honest person!”

As he spoke, he jumped a few times in place, showing that his body had no problems whatsoever.

“I…”

Wang Jin’s old face instantly turned a liver-like color; he truly couldn't understand what was going on.

Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder was absolutely an extremely potent poison; it had been used countless times before, always proving effective, and never before had a situation like today occurred.

Moreover, he had just witnessed with his own eyes the woman putting the poison into the wine, and Ye Bufan had drunk it without any suspicion, so how could it have no effect?

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, maybe it’s because I drank too little, so the effect isn’t good?”

Ye Bufan seemed to be comforting him, reaching back to grab the wine pot.

“I’ll drink a bit more; maybe it will work then.”

After speaking, he walked around the room while drinking from the pot, “One step, two steps, three steps…”

Wang Jin was completely dumbfounded. Even though he was well-experienced, this was absolutely the first time he had seen such a situation—someone so cooperative with being poisoned.

Song Yaoji, beside him, was also stunned, having never seen such a situation either.

“You’re not doing well like this. Is it fake medicine? Look, I’ve already drunk a whole pot, I’m almost drunk, and I’ve walked over a hundred steps, but there’s still no effect at all.”

Ye Bufan threw the empty wine pot aside and shook his head, seemingly quite regretful that the Seven Steps Intestine Severing Powder had no effect.

“Did you buy fake medicine? You must be careful next time. If not, try it yourself in advance. Look how awkward it is when there’s no effect.”

“Uh…”

Wang Jin almost choked on his own saliva; it was the first time he had ever heard of someone buying poison and trying it on themselves first.

But the current problem was that the person truly wasn’t affected, which made him rack his brains trying to figure out what was going on.

Actually, it wasn't his fault. The Di family members knew that Ye Bufan had an immune body to all poisons.

But when they arrived at the Prince’s manor, they all died before they could explain clearly, so the people on Song Jian’s side simply didn’t know about this situation.

Seeing him like this, Ye Bufan spoke again, “Don’t worry about this kind of thing. Why don’t you try putting in some other medicine?”
