Chapter 2248: Going to Grab the Bride

Yan Feng said, "My subordinate has already investigated clearly. This matter started because of the Gu Yi Men Clinic…"

He recounted all the information he had gathered from beginning to end, including how the rumor of Ye Bufan possessing the dragon absorption stone spread, and how many experts went to seize it.

Finally, he said, "A masked Black-Clothed Man suddenly appeared, severely wounded Dr. Ye, snatched the dragon absorption stone, and then fled into the Minister of War's Residence. What happened later can only be described as an unexpected calamity."

Dugu Yi's expression was gloomy: "Who all participated in this matter? Has it been investigated clearly?"

Yan Feng said, "The Black-Clothed Man's identity is very mysterious. We haven't found out who he is yet. What has been investigated clearly are the people who entered the Gu Yi Men Clinic.

There are the Yin Yang Two Immortals, who are well-known in the Jianghu, and Zhu Rong Lingtian, the Sect Leader of Fentian Gate.

However, these people have all disappeared now, and we don't know where they went."

Dugu Yi did not speak. As the Emperor of the Great Shun Empire, he naturally knew how many powerful individuals were within his borders.

Fentian Gate is the largest Sect, and it should not be provoked unless absolutely necessary.

The Yin Yang Two Immortals are also Dongxu Stage experts. To deal with them would probably require the Old Ancestor to take action.

This matter can only be treated as a muddled account for now, to be addressed when an opportunity arises later.

After a brief silence, he asked again, "You said Dr. Ye was injured. How is his condition?"

"It is said he was severely injured, but there is no danger to his life. With his Medical skill, he should be able to recover after a period of recuperation."

Dugu Yi merely asked casually, then continued, "In the next few days, strengthen the defenses within the Royal City. Do not let any more mishaps occur before Prince Kaoshan's wedding."

"Yes! Your subordinate will do his utmost!"

Yan Feng agreed and then withdrew.

The content of their conversation was basically the version that had spread throughout the Royal City.

It was rumored in every corner of the streets that a mysterious Black-Clothed Man had stolen the dragon absorption stone and severely wounded Divine Doctor Ye.

And at this moment, the Divine Doctor Ye, who was said to be severely injured by everyone, was lying on a rocking chair, eating fruit fed to him by Lu Xueman, looking incredibly content.

Jiang Fangzhou asked, "Ye Dage, are we not opening our clinic?"

"No, we've achieved our goal."

Ye Bufan said, "Now the entire Great Shun Empire knows my reputation. If Situ Dianmo still doesn't come, either she has her own difficulties, or there are circumstances we don't know about."

Nalan Yujia said, "Then what do we do next?"

"Wait for news," Ye Bufan said. "Hurry up and Cultivate. If we get news, we'll go snatch her early. If not, we'll wait until the wedding day to snatch her. In short, we are definitely going to snatch her."

"Understood."

Everyone knew that snatching a bride in the Great Shun Empire Royal City would be incredibly difficult, so they all seized the time to Cultivate and diligently improve their Cultivation.

Thus, days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the day before Prince Kaoshan's wedding.

As before, Ye Bufan had waited for so many days, but still hadn't received the news he desired.

Late into the night, the door opened, and Lin Sisi walked in from outside.

"Dr. Ye, this is the Mysterious Yellow Grass you asked me to find for you. I finally found it."

She said, handing over a jade box.

Ye Bufan took the jade box, opened the lid, and inside was a withered yellow small grass, which was precisely the Mysterious Yellow Grass he had been searching for for a long time.

Now that he was in the Great Shun Empire and not very familiar with Jubao Pavilion, he had entrusted the task of finding this Medicinal Herb to Lin Sisi, and only today did it finally yield results.

"Thanks!"

Ye Bufan said, putting away the Mysterious Yellow Grass, then took out two small jade bottles and handed them over.

"These are Medicinal Pills I refined. They can strengthen the body, prolong life, and keep one young."

"Thank you, Dr. Ye."

Lin Sisi immediately accepted them with a joyful smile. She now clearly understood his Medical skill, and naturally knew that the Medicinal Pills inside were absolutely good things that money couldn't buy.

Ye Bufan asked again, "How is it? Is there any news from that side?"

To avoid alerting anyone these past few days, he hadn't left his room and had been asking Lin Sisi to inquire about news from the palace.

"There is news," Lin Sisi said. "Tomorrow is Prince Kaoshan's wedding day. Just now, my aunt and I went into the palace to visit Princess Situ."

Ye Bufan nervously asked, "How was it? Did you see her?"

Lin Sisi nodded, "I saw her, but there wasn't much contact, just a simple greeting.

I secretly asked my aunt why I hadn't seen the Princess before, and my aunt said she probably left Prince Kaoshan's Residence and went somewhere, and just returned tonight."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded. He was also extremely curious about Situ Dianmo's whereabouts, but until he rescued her, he couldn't figure out exactly what had happened.

Lin Sisi then said, "Oh, and there's another strange thing. Before today, Prince Kaoshan suddenly disappeared for three days, and no one knew where he went or could see him.

Normally, before the wedding, he should be busy, but he left everything to his subordinates and only appeared tonight."

Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow: "Do you feel he has changed at all from before?"

"Changed?"

Lin Sisi clearly

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

was a bit surprised by his question. She thought carefully for a moment and said, "He doesn't seem to have changed much!

If there's anything different, it's that he seems even more arrogant than before, not even putting my aunt in his eyes much."

Ye Bufan's lips curved into a smile: "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

Lin Sisi looked puzzled, clearly not understanding the meaning in his words.

"You don't need to know this; knowing it won't do you any good."

Ye Bufan said, "From now on, our transaction is over.

You are you, and I am I. There will be no further contact between us. You came to see me tonight for a medical consultation, understand?"

Lin Sisi was also an extremely intelligent woman, and her expression immediately changed when she heard him say this.

"Dr. Ye, you're not planning to snatch her, are you? I'm telling you, that's absolutely impossible. With that Old Ancestor of the Royal Family, you'll only be throwing your life away if you go."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. He had waited here for so long, and this was the opportunity he had been waiting for, so how could he give it up?

"Alas, then be careful!"

Lin Sisi knew she couldn't stop him, so she said her goodbyes and left.

After she left, Nalan Yujia and the others immediately walked in: "How is it? Is there any news?"

"Yes."

Ye Bufan briefly recounted the news Lin Sisi had brought.

Nalan Yujia said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go snatch her now!"

Even the usually calm Lu Xueman said, "That's right, snatching her now should be a bit easier than tomorrow."

"Don't rush, it's not time yet."

Ye Bufan, however, shook his head: "It's not appropriate to go now. We'll wait until the wedding tomorrow to snatch her."

Everyone had no objections to his arrangement and immediately went back to Cultivate and adjust their state, waiting for tomorrow's battle.

Early the next morning, everyone waited at the door, but after a long wait, Ye Bufan still showed no movement.

It wasn't until late morning that he opened his door and walked out.

Xiao Qing put down her game console and pouted, "Why are you so slow? If we wait any longer, they'll have already finished the ceremony."

"It's fine, we'll still make it if we go now."

Ye Bufan finished speaking, then led everyone into the air, flying towards the Royal City. Now that they were going to snatch a bride, why would they care about flight restrictions?

Anyway, after today, they would leave the Great Shun Empire and never return.
