Chapter 2236 Passing the Test

“Uh…”

Yan Feng was stunned for a moment; he had just returned from the Gu Yi Men Clinic and hadn't even caught his breath before being asked to find Ye Bufan again.

This Young man was sought by Prince Kaoshan, then by His Majesty; he had only just arrived in the Imperial City but was already stirring up such a storm, he truly was a remarkable individual.

Dugu Yi frowned, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“No.”

Realizing he had been distracted, Yan Feng quickly said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Ye Bufan is not currently at the Gu Yi Men Clinic.”

Dugu Yi asked, “Then where is he?”

Yan Feng replied, “He was just invited away by Prince Kaoshan; he should be at Prince Kaoshan's Residence now.”

“Oh?” Dugu Yi asked curiously, “What does Prince Kaoshan want with him?”

“This subordinate is not entirely sure, perhaps for a medical consultation.”

Since it concerned the Imperial Old Ancestor, Yan Feng dared not say too much before clarifying the situation.

“Then, go to Prince Kaoshan's Residence now and bring him here.”

Dugu Yi thought for a moment; this matter concerned the reputation of the royal family and should not be publicized before a result was achieved.

“When you go to find him, just say that I also need a medical consultation.”

“Yes!”

Although Yan Feng did not know what was happening here, as the Imperial Guard Commander, he knew there were some things he should not know, so he assented and withdrew.

Ye Bufan followed Mei Yongcheng into the inner city and arrived at Prince Kaoshan's Residence.

Before coming, he had already made ample mental preparations; the other party must want to investigate whether he was the one who entered the Imperial Palace that night.

That night, he had not revealed his appearance; the other party would want to confirm his identity through two ways: one was Aura, and the other was Cultivation.

Cultivation was relatively simple; although his actual combat power was in no way inferior to a Combined Body Realm Peak expert, what he displayed was only Body Integration Middle Stage, so as long as he controlled his Aura and the richness of his True Qi, he could pass through.

However, his Aura always needed to be changed; he was a doctor, and Wood-attribute True Qi was obviously the most suitable.

Thinking of this, the Chaotic True Qi within his body slowly circulated, making some subtle changes to his Aura.

Chaotic True Qi could be Yin or Yang and could transform into any of the Five Elements attributes.

Without alarming Mei Yongcheng, he silently completed this transformation.

Under the guidance of the old eunuch, he proceeded unimpeded directly into Prince Kaoshan's Residence.

Coming here for the second time, he really wanted to scan the place with his Divine Sense to see if there was any trace of Situ Dianmo.

But he knew this was absolutely not allowed; from the moment he stepped into the palace gate, he was probably already under the scrutiny of that old monster.

Ye Bufan kept his Aura restrained, his gaze fixed downwards, silent and unmoving, appearing quite nervous, as if it were his first time entering the Imperial Palace.

“Divine Doctor Ye, no need to be nervous.”

Mei Yongcheng comforted him, then led him into a guest room.

“Please wait here for a moment; this old servant will go and inform them.”

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving only Ye Bufan in the room.

As a guest room in Prince Kaoshan's Residence, the decor was luxurious, with all sorts of pastries and fruits readily available.

But Ye Bufan touched nothing, just sat there properly, looking incredibly nervous and constrained.

He knew this was the most crucial moment; he absolutely could not show any flaw, otherwise, it would be a disaster, and he would at least not be able to stay in this Imperial City.

Sure enough, after a short while, a faint, almost imperceptible Divine Sense swept over him.

The opponent's Cultivation was extremely powerful, and the method used was also very clever; if his Mental Energy hadn't been incredibly strong, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Ye Bufan's expression remained unchanged, as if he knew nothing.

That Divine Thought swept back and forth over his body several times before slowly disappearing.

Ye Bufan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed he had passed the test for now.

In a secret room not far away, Dugu Xiu sat in the center, with Dugu Yuan and Mei Yongcheng accompanying him.

As he slowly opened his eyes, Dugu Yuan asked, “Grandfather, how is it? Was the person from that night Ye Bufan?”

“The Aura is wrong.”

Dugu Xiu said, looking at Mei Yongcheng next to him, “You have had the most contact with him; do you think it could be this person?”

“This old servant believes it is not.”

Mei Yongcheng respectfully said, “The Little fellow has Body Integration Middle Stage Cultivation, which is not bad among the younger generation.

But he is still a bit lacking; not to mention Old Ancestor, even from my hands, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Furthermore, he opened such a prominent clinic in the Imperial City, charging outrageously high prices, making himself known to everyone.

If he were the assassin from that night, he would absolutely not have such audacity.”

“I also think so.”

Dugu Xiu waved his hand, “Just deal with him and let him go; there’s no need to meet him.”

“Yes!”

Dugu Yuan assented and withdrew, and he and Mei Yongcheng arrived at the guest room a moment later.

“Divine Doctor Ye, this old servant would like to introduce you; this is Prince Kaoshan of our Great Shun Empire.”

“Greetings, Your Highness!”

Ye Bufan quickly came forward to bow.

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

Dugu Yuan nodded and sat down on a nearby chair.

“Where are you from?”

Ye Bufan said, “I am from the Tianfeng Empire.”

Dugu Yuan asked again, “Then why did you come to my Great Shun Empire?”

“The Tianfeng Empire is too small, and there are few rich people; I want to earn more Spirit Stones to Cultivate quickly.”

“Then why not go to the Daxing Empire? That is the wealthiest place in my Tianluo State.”

Ye Bufan said, “Reporting to Your Highness, I have some enemies in the Daxing Empire, so it is inconvenient for me to practice Medical skill there, which is why I came to the Great Shun Empire.”

Dugu Yuan nodded; he hadn't found anything of value, so he dismissed the doubts in his mind.

“Since that is the case, please examine me.”

Saying this, he extended his right hand and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in front of him.

Ye Bufan took his pulse, and as his hand touched the pulse, his eyebrows involuntarily twitched.

Seeing his unusual expression, Prince Kaoshan asked, “What’s wrong, Dr. Ye? Is there something wrong with my body?”

Ye Bufan said, “No problem, absolutely no problem. I am simply amazed at how incredibly healthy Your Highness’s body is.

If I’m not mistaken, you must usually be immune to all illnesses!”

“Your Medical skill is indeed good.”

Dugu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, unsure whether he was satisfied with his own body or with Ye Bufan's diagnosis.

Just then, a young eunuch entered, leading the Imperial Guard Commander Yan Feng.

“This subordinate greets Your Highness.”

Dugu Yuan glanced at him, “What, something happened?”

Yan Feng had just left, so he shouldn't have returned so quickly.

“It’s like this, Your Highness, His Majesty wishes for Dr. Ye to go and treat him.”

“Oh! Go!”

Dugu Yuan waved his hand; he had already dismissed the doubts in his mind, and there was no need to keep Ye Bufan.

After the two left, he said to the young eunuch beside him, “Throw Guan Chengfang out. He provided so many false messages and wasted my time. Don’t let him see me again.”

“Yes!”

The young eunuch assented and withdrew.

In another room, Guan Chengfang was like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously awaiting news.

Finally, the door opened, and he excitedly rushed over, only to be grabbed by the neck by several guards and dragged out, thrown outside the mansion gate.

At this point, Guan Chengfang could guess the result without being told, and his heart was filled with utter despair.

From this moment on, the Guan family was completely finished, with no chance of recovery!
