Chapter 2228 Like a surging river

Guan Chengfang immediately hurried forward, his Face full of urgency: "My Lord, how will this matter be handled?"

Dugu Yuan ignored him and walked to his seat, where a small eunuch immediately filled his tea cup.

He picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and then, after setting it down, said, "Grandfather has already sent someone to find Ye Bufan. When he arrives at the palace, Grandfather will know at a glance whether it's true or false."

"Since Old Ancestor has agreed to act, it will surely be a walk in the park."

Guan Chengfang's Face was filled with excitement, and he clenched his fists.

For some reason, he had a hunch that Ye Bufan was definitely the assassin who had infiltrated the palace at night.

As long as the Imperial Old Ancestor made a move to kill him, he would not only be able to get revenge but also save his mansion and recover all the money he had lost.

Ye Bufan sat in the Gu Yi Men Clinic, drinking tea and waiting. He originally thought the next people to arrive would be from the Laiyang Royal Mansion, but unexpectedly, the door opened, and an old eunuch appeared at the doorway.

Mei Yongcheng looked plump and had a very kind Face, but his entire being exuded an arrogant and cold aura.

From a small eunuch to his current position, the only one he served carefully was the Imperial Old Ancestor. Other than that, even the current Emperor and Prince Kaoshan were not qualified.

It was precisely because of this that his expression was stern and aloof after entering the room.

"Which one is Ye Bufan?"

Jiang Fangzhou was about to step forward but was pulled back by Ye Bufan. It was clear that this old eunuch was a Dongxu Stage expert, and he needed to be handled carefully.

"That would be me. May I ask how to address this Gonggong?"

He had a kind smile on his Face, looking extremely amiable, as if he had met an old friend he hadn't seen in years.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person. Mei Yongcheng was quite satisfied with his attitude and nodded slightly.

"This old servant is Mei Yongcheng, from the palace. I would like to ask Dr. Ye to come with me to diagnose a noble person."

Ye Bufan's Face held a smile, but his mind was racing.

This old eunuch was clearly at the Middle Stage of Void Tempering. There were only a few people in the entire imperial family who could make him serve them so carefully.

If it were the Emperor or Prince Kaoshan, he would have surely mentioned their titles. Since he didn't state the identity, there could only be one person: the Imperial Old Ancestor Dugu Xiu.

It seemed that after Yan Feng returned, Dugu Yuan had not completely dispelled his doubts about him and still wanted to investigate further, to let that Old Ancestor determine if he was the one who entered the palace at night.

If he didn't go, it would immediately confirm the other party's suspicions, and he probably wouldn't be able to stay in the Imperial City anymore.

If he went, and once he revealed a flaw, then a net would await him.

However,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In an instant, he made a decision: he must go. He was confident that even the Old Ancestor would not be able to discern his true identity.

Firstly, it was Ye Erlang who acted that day, so the other party would not sense his Qi.

Secondly, when he escaped that day, the cultivation he displayed was comparable to the Peak of Body Integration Stage, but the Qi he showed was only at the Middle Stage of Body Integration, which would not arouse suspicion from the other party.

Although he had made his decision, he wasn't going for nothing. At the same time, he wanted to extract some benefits from the other party, to collect some interest.

"So it's Mei Gonggong, my apologies for not recognizing you!"

Ye Bufan put on an extremely respectful demeanor, then reached out and pulled out a small box.

"Gonggong, this is a small gift for our first meeting, a token of my respect."

With that, he presented the box with both hands.

A hint of disdain flashed in Mei Yongcheng's eyes. As the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Family, a rare expert who had always been by the Old Ancestor's side, what treasures hadn't he seen over the years?

A small doctor actually wanted to bribe him; it was simply wishful thinking.

"Dr. Ye, please take it back. This old servant doesn't like these things."

Mei Yongcheng was unceremonious and directly waved his hand in refusal.

"Oh! Gonggong is a great figure, so it's normal that my small gift doesn't catch your eye."

Ye Bufan still smiled brightly, without any awkwardness, and put the small box back.

Before Mei Yongcheng could react, he began to speak voluminously again.

"I don't know why, but when I see Gonggong, I feel a sense of kinship. I've been to a few places, and I've formed an indissoluble bond with Gonggong.

For example, Zheng Sanbao, Gonggong Zheng, from the Tianfeng Empire, and Zhang He, Gonggong Zhang, from the Daxing Empire, are both my good friends.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. I can't call them Gonggong anymore. I've already helped them restore their broken bodies, and now they are normal people.

The Medicinal Pill I used was the one I just offered to Gonggong, called Heaven Mending Pill. It's not too precious, but it can repair all human defects.

It seems that Mei Gonggong is truly loyal to the Imperial Family, not caring about such things at all…"

"Uh…"

Mei Yongcheng initially had a nonchalant expression, not paying any attention to the other party, but as he listened to the end, his expression became incredibly grim.

Having reached his current Realm, there were very few things that could tempt him.

As for women, needless to say, as a eunuch, he didn't even look at such things.

Financially, he wasn't as rich as an Empire, but he enjoyed all the Cultivation resources provided by the Great Shun Empire, so he didn't need to worry about money at all.

As for status, looking across the entire Tianluo

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zhou, he only recognized the Imperial Old Ancestor and didn't put anyone else in his eyes.

Whether it was Prince Kaoshan or the current Emperor, they all had to be respectful when they saw him.

If there was anything in this world that he wanted to do but hadn't, it was to restore his broken body and become a normal man.

However, this was something he had only dreamed of before, never seeing any hope.

He never expected that one day, someone would actively present the opportunity to him, and he would miss it.

He knew Zheng Sanbao and Zhang He. Although their cultivation was not as high as his, they were considered outstanding among eunuchs.

Yet, he never expected that the two of them had now completely restored their bodies and left the Imperial Family.

At this moment, his heart was filled with regret. He wished he could immediately slap himself twice. Why did he put on an act just now? Wouldn't it have been better to just accept it?

He swallowed with difficulty, his voice hoarse as he said, "Dr. Ye, is what you just said true?"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Of course it's true, Gonggong is truly loyal. My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless…"

"Uh…"

Mei Yongcheng quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about that. Have Zheng Sanbao and Zhang He really restored their broken bodies?"

"How could that be false? I handled it all myself; there won't be any mistakes."

Ye Bufan said, "Gonggong seems to have been out of touch with worldly affairs for a long time. If you go back to the Imperial Family and ask around, you'll know. How could I possibly deceive you?"

"Dr. Ye, please wait a moment. I need to attend to some private matters first."

Mei Yongcheng was also a cunning old fox and wouldn't easily believe others.

He turned and left the Gu Yi Men Clinic, then took out a communication jade slip and sent a message to inquire with the current Grand Chief Eunuch of the Great Shun Empire.

The current Grand Chief Eunuch was still his Disciple by seniority, so he naturally dared not hide anything and sent back all the information about Zheng Sanbao and Zhang He.

At this moment, he had no doubts whatsoever. The Young man in front of him truly had the ability to help eunuchs restore their broken bodies.

After confirming, Mei Yongcheng was filled with regret. What kind of foolish thing had he just done?

He now wished he could immediately get his hands on that Heaven Mending Pill, but he had just refused it, and now he couldn't bring himself to ask for it, losing Face.

It seemed he could only build a good relationship with this Young man and slowly find a way.

Thinking of this, he stepped into the Gu Yi Men Clinic again, completely transformed from before. The arrogance had vanished, and his old Face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Divine Doctor Ye, you are indeed a young prodigy! This old servant is willing to be friends with a person like you!"
