Chapter 2253 It Turns Out to Be Her

“Don't worry, let me explain slowly.”

Dugu Xiu said, “Not long after the engagement, one night, someone suddenly broke into Prince Kaoshan's Residence and directly took Situ Dianmo away.

At that time, I was in seclusion Cultivating, and I didn't know the specific situation. By the time I came out, she had already been taken away.”

“What, taken away?” Ye Bufan's heart tightened, and he asked, “Who was that person? Were there any clues later?”

Dugu Xiu said, “That person’s Cultivation was very high, at least at the Dongxu Stage Middle Stage or above. The guards in the Residence couldn't stop him at all, and none of the Elder were his match.

Because of this, that person easily took Situ Dianmo away, without even revealing his appearance.

Later, the Residence secretly sent people to investigate for a long time, but there was no clue at all. Situ Dianmo seemed to have vanished into thin air.

To get her back, we could only hope that the person would come again. So from then on, I monitored the entire Residence every night until I met you.”

Only then did Ye Bufan understand why he was discovered by this Old thing that night when he only used a Soul Capture Technique. It turned out that someone had already alerted him before.

He also understood why Lin Sisi had searched for so long without finding any news of Situ Dianmo; it turned out she wasn't in the Imperial City at all.

Although he couldn't use Soul Searching Technique, he had been using his Divine Sense to observe the other party's expression changes, and even mental fluctuations, to confirm that what he had just said was not false.

The clue to Situ Dianmo had just been found, but now it was interrupted again, which made him feel quite annoyed.

But what had happened could not be changed by anxiety. At least it was confirmed that Situ Dianmo had appeared in Tianluo State, so he could only search slowly in the future.

He calmed himself down and asked again, “What's going on with this woman? Since Situ Dianmo has already been taken away, why bother bringing such a fake one over?”

“Because this concerns the face of the entire Imperial family.”

Dugu Xiu said, “The engagement ceremony had already been held. If the Princess Consort were stolen at the time of the wedding, once it spread, the entire Imperial family would lose face.

In desperation, Situ Yuan came up with an idea: find a woman who closely resembled Situ Dianmo, then disguise her to fool this wedding.

But he was in charge of all this, and I didn't pay much attention.”

Ye Bufan asked several more questions, confirming that there was no more useful information.

Dugu Xiu said, “Divine Doctor Ye, I have answered all your questions. Now, shouldn't you remove the poison from me?

As long as you release me, I swear to heaven that I will never be your enemy again.”

This was his most pressing concern: first, to have the poison removed, and second, to be allowed to leave.

Ye Bufan smiled coldly, “Because of your selfish motives, you harmed Situ Dianmo. Do you think I will let you go?”

Dugu Xiu became a little anxious, “But you just promised that as long as I answered your questions, you would let me go.”

“That's right, I did say that, and I always keep my word.”

Ye Bufan's face showed a mischievous smile, “I promise not to lay a hand on you, but I can't guarantee for them.”

Because this Old thing had harmed Situ Dianmo, who was now of unknown life or death, how could he easily let the other party go?

With a wave of his hand to the side, Jiang Fangzhou, without any politeness, stepped forward and snapped Dugu Xiu's neck.

This Old Ancestor of the Dugu family, who had lived for hundreds of years, had just completed his Possession and Rebirth, but in the blink of an eye, his dream of longevity was ended.

After dealing with Dugu Xiu, Ye Bufan turned to look at the fake Situ Dianmo.

“Tell me, what is the purpose of your actions? Why did you impersonate Situ Dianmo?”

The woman in front of him giggled, showing no signs of nervousness.

“That dead Old thing already made it clear, the purpose was for me to save face for the Imperial family.

For me personally, this is also a good thing. If I really marry Prince Kaoshan, then I will have wealth and honor, and never worry about food and clothing.”

“Really?”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “Since you're so willing to be a Princess Consort, why did you later insist on leaving with me?”

“Hehe, you mean that? I just thought it was fun.”

Ye Bufan said, “Is it just for fun? Then why did you secretly stab me?”

“For wealth, of course! Think about it, if I killed you at that moment and saved that Old thing, I would become a meritorious minister of the entire Great Shun Empire Imperial family, and I would have endless money for the rest of my life.”

This woman was still spouting nonsense.

“Is that so? A rather full explanation.”

Ye Bufan smiled coldly, “Then tell me, since you are a Combined Body Realm Peak expert, why did you pretend to be a weak woman with no strength before? And why did you run to my Gu Yi

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Men Clinic for help?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on the woman's face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of astonishment.

“You actually know who I am? When did you figure it out?”

Not only her, but Nalan Yujia, Lu Xueman, and others beside her also showed astonished expressions.

Ye Bufan's words had made it very clear: this woman was Lan Meier, who had previously run to the Gu Yi Men Clinic for help.

Now that her identity was exposed, she no longer continued to pretend. The muscles on her face twisted, slowly returning to her original appearance.

“You… it's actually you! So you've been deceiving us all this time!”

Nalan Yujia realized she had been deceived by this woman and immediately burst into a rage, “How dare you deceive me! I'll twist your neck right now.”

Lan Meier giggled, showing no sign of tension or fear.

“Sister Nalan, don't be so anxious yet. Your man hasn't finished asking. He won't agree to kill me.”

Indeed, Ye Bufan reached out to stop Nalan Yujia. Even if he were to kill this woman, he needed to clarify her identity and purpose before acting.

“Wait a moment, let's get things clear first.”

Lan Meier smiled again, “Ye Bufan, I'm really curious how you saw through me?

That Cultivation Technique of mine for concealing Cultivation is a secret passed down only within my sect. It has no flaws. Even a Dongxu Stage expert cannot see through it. How did you figure it out?”

“Because I am a doctor.”

Ye Bufan said, “Your Cultivation Technique for concealing Cultivation is indeed very powerful; I couldn't find any flaws either.

But the problem is, the difference between a Cultivators and an ordinary person is not just Cultivation.

In the eyes of a doctor, everything from muscles and bones to blood flow speed and the width of Meridians is completely different.

Because of this, the first time I took your pulse, I became suspicious of your identity.

You were clearly a Body Integration Stage expert, yet you pretended to be a weak woman. Who would believe that you had no purpose?”

“I never expected this. It seems I was careless.”

Lan Meier said, “I originally thought my plan was flawless, but I didn't expect your Medical skill to be so profound.”

Then she asked again, “If that's the case, why didn't you expose me then? Why didn't you drive me out or just kill me?”
