Chapter 495: Consultation Fees

Ye Bufan said, while eating an apple, “Of course I can tell, you’re just bluffing.”

“Xiao Fan, how can you speak to Senior Situ like that? Apologize at once!”

Sima Wei was extremely nervous and once again shielded Ye Bufan.

But unexpectedly, Ye Bufan pulled her into his arms, then placed her beside the sofa: “Don’t worry, Senior Situ is no match for us right now, and his goal isn’t to kill me.”

“I…”

Sima Wei was about to say something more when she noticed Situ Changkong had already dispelled his Killing Intent, and said with a gentle expression, “Young man, you truly exceeded my expectations.

Then guess again, since I don’t want to kill you, what do you think I want to do?”

“You want to be cured.” Ye Bufan tossed the remaining apple core into a nearby trash can, then said, “The reason you put on such an Aura was to see if I could identify where your illness is.”

A flicker of excitement suddenly flashed in Situ Changkong’s eyes: “Young man, did you see it?”

Ye Bufan said, “What do you think?”

Sima Wei was completely confused by the two men’s riddles, grabbing Ye Bufan’s hand and asking, “What are you two talking about? Quickly tell me, what’s going on?”

Ye Bufan said, “Senior Situ’s visit this time, his so-called plan, is not his true objective, or rather, not his primary objective.

His most important issue is a physical problem, and he wants to see if I can find the cause of his illness, or rather, help him solve the problem.”

Sima Wei said in surprise, “Are you saying Senior Situ is sick?”

Ye Bufan said, “Not sick, but rather a problem with his body due to cultivation.

Although his Aura is powerful now, he is actually just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. His Dantian suffered a severe injury and has not yet recovered; he probably doesn’t even have the cultivation of the Profound level initial stage.

If he were to attack me now, I am confident I could kill him within three moves.”

He spoke bluntly, but to Situ Changkong’s ears, it was like heavenly music. He immediately said with excitement, “It seems what the outside world says is true, Mr. Ye is indeed a Divine Doctor.”

Sima Wei turned to Situ Changkong and asked, “Grandpa Situ, what exactly is going on? Is everything Xiao Fan said true?”

“He is right. I only have my previous Sword Intent left, and my actual cultivation is only at the Profound level initial stage.”

Situ Changkong sat down on the sofa opposite Ye Bufan

and said faintly, “This Old Man has practiced martial arts since childhood and was called a martial arts Genius by the world. At eighty years old, I reached the Heaven Rank Middle Stage, but unfortunately, after so many years, I have not been able to advance further.

Some time ago, I was a bit too eager for quick success and suffered a severe injury when attempting to Breakthrough to the Heaven Rank Late Stage. Although I have recuperated for over a month, I am currently only at the Profound level initial stage.

Normally, with my severe injuries, this Old Man would not leave Xuanyuan Pavilion. The reason I personally came to see Young Brother Ye this time is for my internal injuries.

I heard that Young Brother Ye’s Medical skill is extraordinary and that he possesses the means of an Immortal, so I personally came to see.”

As the president of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association and the famous Sword Saint, Situ Changkong had always been a lofty existence.

At this moment, he was impressed by the Medical skill Ye Bufan displayed, even changing his address to Young Brother.

Ye Bufan, however, was not appreciative and said with dissatisfaction, “I say, Old Man, if you’re seeing a doctor, just say you’re seeing a doctor. Why put on such a display to scare me? Now I’m very unhappy, and I won’t treat your illness.”

He had indeed been startled by Situ Changkong just now, but fortunately, with his Divine Sense, he easily saw through the other party’s true state.

“Young Brother Ye, please don’t be angry.”

Situ Changkong immediately panicked. Although his status was high, everything was built upon his cultivation.

If his cultivation truly declined from this point, then everything in the future would be castles in the air, and he would have nothing.

“Young Brother Ye, although I heard your Medical skill is profound, you are still too young, so I tried this method to test you. It was this Old Man’s momentary confusion, please don’t take it to heart.”

Sima Wei understood the truth of the matter, let out a sigh of relief, glared at Ye Bufan, and said, “You fellow, honestly, can you cure Grandpa Situ’s illness or not?”

Ye Bufan, of course, wasn’t genuinely holding a grudge against Situ Changkong. This Old Man had single-handedly established the Huaxia Martial Arts Association back then, making immense contributions to stabilizing the situation in Huaxia, and was still very much worthy of respect.

However, he had just been startled, so he had to get some interest back.

“Of course I can cure it.” Ye Bufan said, “However, this is a difficult and complicated illness, so you must offer a consultation fee that truly moves me.”

Sima Wei said, “Xiao Fan, don’t be so greedy, okay?”

Ye Bufan smiled slyly and said, “I don’t want money, nor do I lack it, but since Senior Situ has come seeking medical treatment, we also need to bring some good things that I might fancy, right?”

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

This Old Man is an elder of Xuanyuan Pavilion, so he naturally possesses all kinds of information. He is well aware of his own situation and certainly knows what he likes.

Since he came seeking medical treatment, he must have brought some things that could impress him.

Moreover, as the Sword Saint of Huaxia, having roamed the Jianghu for so many years, if he didn’t have any treasures on him, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Indeed, Situ Changkong smiled slightly: “You Young man, you truly have many tricks up your sleeve. How about this as a consultation fee?”

As he spoke, he pulled out a white jade plaque, with a vivid red ‘Order’ character carved on the front, and the four characters ‘Situ Changkong’ on the back.

Sima Wei exclaimed upon seeing it, “This is the Martial Arts Association’s President’s Token? Grandpa Situ, you’re going to use this as a consultation fee?”

Ye Bufan sensed it was a good item, took it in his hand, and said, “What is this thing for?”

Sima Wei said, “The President’s Token represents Grandpa Situ’s identity and status. Wherever you go, you can mobilize the power of the entire Huaxia Martial Arts Association.”

Ye Bufan laughed: “So, this is the Martial Arts Association’s imperial sword?”

Sima Wei said, “Although the form is different, the meaning is the same.”

“Alright, I’ll take this.”

Ye Bufan said, putting the President’s Token into his pocket.

Situ Changkong said, “Young Brother Ye, are you satisfied with my preparation? Can we start the treatment now?”

Although he appeared calm, as a Heaven Rank Expert who had suddenly lost his cultivation, he felt insecure every day and was already extremely impatient inside.

“Yes, yes, of course I can cure it.” Ye Bufan’s lips curved into another mischievous smile, “Senior Situ, I wonder if you merely want your internal injuries healed, or if you wish to advance further?”

“Young Brother Ye, you mean you can help me advance further?”

Upon hearing Ye Bufan’s words, Situ Changkong, disregarding his status, shot up to his feet.

He was exactly one hundred years old this year. He reached the Heaven Rank Middle Stage at 80, meaning he had been stuck at this level for a full 20 years.

To Breakthrough to the Heaven Rank Late Stage, he had tried countless methods and consumed countless Spirit Medicine over the years, but to no avail.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so impatient as to forcefully attempt to Breakthrough, ultimately suffering Qi Deviation and injuring his Dantian.

Ye Bufan chuckled: “It should be possible. I have ninety percent confidence, but the consultation fee will be extra.”
