Finally getting rid of the last trace of cold air, Ye Bufan let out a long breath. At this moment, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and the true energy in his dantian was also depleted.
This treatment was still too taxing on him, and he couldn't give up on cleaning up a meridian halfway, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.
The woman was sitting on the bed, with a hint of joy blooming from the corners of her eyes under her veil.
As a client, she felt the effect of the treatment most clearly. Since the injury, her arm had been feeling like it had fallen into an ice cellar every day. After countless famous doctors, she could not cure it, but now she finally felt a trace of warmth.
"Thank you, little miracle doctor!"
Compared with before, there was a hint of gratitude in the woman's voice.
"That's it for today. The rest will be treated tomorrow."
After speaking, Ye Bufan took back all the silver needles and stood up from the bed.
As soon as he stood up, a huge feeling of weakness came over him, and his body shook uncontrollably.
This treatment took too much of a toll on him, almost to the point where he was almost exhausted.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a sharp dagger stabbed directly into his neck.
All this happened so suddenly. Everyone's attention was focused on the woman, wanting to see the effect of the treatment. They never expected that an assassin would arrive at this time.
Ye Bufan, on the other hand, suffered from a great loss of consciousness due to excessive consumption, and did not feel the danger until the last moment.
He wanted to dodge, but unfortunately his whole body was weak and powerless, and he was too late to use the particle gun.
He couldn't help but feel despair in his heart. He hadn't returned to Earth yet, hadn't seen his relatives yet, was he going to die here?
At this moment, there was a burst of energy fluctuations nearby, and a black shadow appeared out of thin air in the room, and then the sharp sword intent was directed towards the assassin in black.
The assassin's attention was focused on Ye Bufan. Seeing that he was about to succeed, he felt a little relaxed.
At this moment, he was suddenly attacked, and it was too late to react. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and swing the dagger in his hand with all his strength.
I hope to be able to kill the enemy and kill the target before death.
It's a pity that his speed is far inferior to that of the long sword. Before the dagger could touch Ye Bufan, his head was already flying high.
As a stream of hot blood sprayed on the spot, his arm hung softly, and the short knife fell to the ground with a clang.
Ye Bufan breathed a long sigh of relief. At that moment, the sword had almost touched his skin. If he had moved an inch further, he might have been killed on the spot.
Fortunately, there was no danger and he finally escaped. When he looked back, he saw a dark figure beside the woman.
This man was silent, wearing a black robe and a hood on his face, but his whole body exuded extremely powerful pressure, just like a ghost walking out of the dark night.
It was obvious that the man in black was guarding that woman, but this was not surprising. A woman of such noble status must be surrounded by expert guards.
The woman on the bed asked: "Doctor Ye, how are you? Are you okay?"
At this moment, the people in the City Lord's Mansion also came to their senses, and Zhai Tianfang immediately arranged for people to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire City Lord's Mansion to see if there were any hidden assassins.
Zhai Lingxiu drew out her steel knife and stood by Ye Bufan's side. At the same time, she asked with concern: "Doctor Ye, how are you? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine!"
Ye Bufan nodded to her, then looked at the woman on the bed: "Thanks for helping!"
"It's a trivial matter. Besides, saving Dr. Ye also saved myself!"
The woman's answer was very direct, without any hypocrisy. Her current injury depended entirely on the young man in front of her, so she would not let anything happen to him.
Soon the city lord's palace conducted another investigation and found no trace of the assassin.
Zhai Tianfang said: "Dr. Ye, if you stay in the city lord's mansion these days, I will do my best to ensure your safety."
"No, I'll just take a rest first."
Ye Bufan rejected his kindness. Since someone wanted to attack him, he couldn't hide here and be beaten passively. He had to find a way to fight back.
Moreover, with the opponent's methods, the City Lord's Mansion is not absolutely safe, and assassins may sneak in again at some point.
In this case, the top priority is to restore your own strength as much as possible. Only when you are strong can you be protected.
Soon Zhai Tianfang arranged a quiet room for him to recover his exhausted cultivation. Zhai Lingxiu personally led a team of guards to guard the door to protect him.
Ye Bufan stuffed several pills into his mouth one after another, and then began to sit cross-legged and meditate. After about half an hour, all the consumed energy had been restored.
He exhaled a long breath, felt the power surging in his body, and felt much more at ease.
"Why did we meet an assassin again? Who sent this guy?"
If you want to deal with the enemy, you must at least know who the opponent is.
He calculated his opponent from beginning to end. The core members of the Shang family had been eliminated, and people from the Li family in Kyoto had arrived here. The assassin should have nothing to do with them.
The same is true for the He family. Since they have asked for help from the Northern Qiong Sword Sect, they will not use the Assassin's Guild.
In this way, the Fang family became the biggest suspect. The other party did not dare to attack him directly, so it was completely reasonable to attack him through assassins.
But the guess is just a guess, and there is no conclusion yet.
Thinking of this, he took out the sound transmission jade talisman and sent a message to Luo Yudie, hoping to see if the intelligence network at Jubao Pavilion had relevant information.
It was not long before Luo Yudie's voice echoed in his mind.
"The Assassin's Guild does have a mission to assassinate you, offering a reward of 10 million gold coins, and Zhao Si, who was next to Fang Furong, appeared there a few hours ago."
With this information, Ye Bufan could confirm that the assassin came from the Fang family.
Just as he was thinking about how to solve this problem for the Fang family, another message came through.
"An hour ago, people from the Li family in the capital arrived at Tianlang City and are currently staying at the Fulai Inn.
They are collecting your information now, and I believe they will take action soon.
Little brother, you are in so much trouble, be careful and deal with it carefully. If that doesn't work, hide in my Treasure Collection Pavilion and my sister will protect your safety."
Ye Bufan frowned. He had a lot of troubles. Before the Fang family here could solve them, a strong man came from the Li family in the capital.
According to the information previously obtained from Luo Yudie, the Li family in the capital sent two strong men at the level of gods, and five others at the Nascent Soul stage.
Facing such a powerful force, one must act first, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
But at the same time, the Fang family has to deal with it, otherwise it would be a huge headache to have assassins staring at them all the time.
After thinking about it for a while, he made a decision in his mind, and then walked out of the door.
