Ye Bufan smiled and said: "Oh, Chief Manager, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Zhang He. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Ye, I have stopped being the chief steward of the royal family. Now I am just a casual cultivator. From now on, you can just call me brother."
Ye Bufan didn't care that the other party was no longer an eunuch, so it was reasonable for him not to be the general manager.
Ye Bufan nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"
Everyone was a little curious, after all, they and Zhang He had just separated not long ago.
"That's right. I just received news that the Du family was planning to take action against my brother, so I rushed over to see if I could help."
As he said this, he asked around, "Isn't that old ghost Du Shengkun here?"
"No, we didn't see anyone from the Du family."
Although Ye Bufan is not very old, he has experienced too many things and is already an old man.
Knowing that you only speak three words when meeting people, it is better not to reveal your trump card easily.
Zhang He said: "Oh! Maybe I am faster and can catch up with them.
Let's do this, I'll stay and escort my brother for a while to avoid any accidents."
Ye Bufan hesitated and said, "It's not necessary. I feel sorry for bothering you like this."
"What does this mean? If you say this, you are alienated from my brother."
Zhang He waved his hands and said unhappily, "Brother, what I am today is all thanks to you. Such a great kindness must be repaid. Otherwise, who do you think I am?"
Speaking of this, Ye Bufan couldn't refuse and said, "Then there's Brother Lao."
"It's okay, your business is my business, why should we be so polite between brothers..."
As Zhang Hezheng was talking, suddenly several more figures came galloping from a distance.
After landing, it was Zhang Lao Zhong Limei of Shenjian Villa, followed by two middle-aged men behind him.
One is the second elder Ma Yuanwu, who is at the early stage of Dongxu Realm, and the other is the third elder Dong Zhongmou, who is at the peak of the integration stage.
Behind the three people there were seven or eight ordinary disciples, all of whom were above the combined stage in cultivation, and Zhao Mingzhen was among them.
Seeing their arrival, Zhang He stepped forward with a look of surprise on his face and said, "Brother Zhong, are you here to help Brother Ye too?"
"Yes, I heard that the Du family was going to take action against Dr. Ye, so I specially invited him to visit our Shenjian Villa."
Zhong Limei said with a smile, "Dr. Ye, it's too dangerous here, please come back to Shenjian Villa with us.
Mr. Zhong promises that when you come to our place, no one will be able to hurt you even a hair, not even the Du family or the Leiyun Sect, not even the royal family of the Daxing Empire."
Ye Bufan shook his head: "The elder is interested, but I still have things to do. I will handle the Du family's affairs myself, so I won't bother."
"Dr. Ye, if you have anything to do with me at Shenjian Villa, I will immediately arrange for someone to handle it for you. You will definitely be satisfied."
Zhong Limei had no intention of giving up and said again, "I am here on behalf of the owner of the village this time. I sincerely invite you. I also ask Dr. Ye not to refuse."
"No need." Ye Bufan said, "Only I can handle my matters, and no one else can do it for me. After the matter is finished, I will definitely go to Shenjian Villa to express my gratitude in person."
Seeing his refusals one after another, Ma Yuanwu said impatiently: "Great Elder, why bother talking to him? Just catch this kind of person back."
After he said this, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed. They originally thought that Shenjian Villa was really inviting them sincerely, but they didn't expect that they were actually here to kidnap someone.
Zhang He shouted angrily: "Zhong Limei, what do you mean?"
"Brother Zhang, don't worry, listen to me slowly."
Zhong Limei still had a faint smile on his face, "After I returned to the Villa, the owner heard that Dr. Ye had such miraculous alchemy skills. He immediately became interested and invited you to come to my Divine Sword Villa to refine elixirs."
Ye Bufan immediately understood what the other party meant and smiled coldly.
"It seems that your Divine Sword Villa wants to kidnap me and make elixirs for you for the rest of my life, right?"
Now it is very clear that Shenjian Villa wants to capture him and make him their own alchemy machine.
"Dr. Ye, don't speak so harshly."
Zhong Limei said, "We at Shenjian Villa invited you intentionally. We will have whatever you want when you come to our place, and we can meet all Dr. Ye's requirements.
Why float around in the rivers and lakes when your life is in danger at any time."
"I sincerely invite you, and what you say is really nice."
Ye Bufan said, "Stop your determination, I won't go no matter what."
"Boy, I'm giving you some face, aren't I? You really think of yourself as a person. You have to go today if you go, or if you don't go, you have to go."
Ma Yuanwu shouted fiercely, "Not only do you have to go today, but you also have to hand over the treasures on your body, including the strange fire and the nourishing spring."
Ye Bufan said angrily: "It seems that your Shenjian Villa not only wants to rob people, but also robs me of my treasures."
Zhong Limei smiled and said: "Dr. Ye, why are you so angry? You will live in my Shenjian Villa for the rest of your life.
We are all a family, so there is no distinction between you and me, so what belongs to you is naturally ours."
Zhang He said angrily: "Zhong Limei, don't go too far. Brother Ye is a young leader. In three months, he will represent our Tianluo Prefecture to participate in the Genius Monster Competition."
Zhong Limei smiled and waved his hand: "I thought the same way before and started to love talents.
But I can’t control that much now. Although the honor of Tianluo State is very important, it is not as important as the interests of my Shenjian Villa.”
Ye Bufan sneered: "What a wonderful Excalibur Villa, what if I don't go?"
Ma Yuanwu curled his lips: "Boy, who do you think you are? Do you think Zhang He can protect you?"
Ye Bufan said coldly: "Then you give it a try."
Zhong Limei raised his hand to stop Ma Yuanwu and said again, "Dr. Ye, we are just getting along, there is no need to ruin the harmony.
Although I, Shenjian Villa, don’t want to kill you, there are still so many people around you.
Once you start taking action, you might accidentally kill one or two, and you won't feel very comfortable then, right?"
"Great Elder, why do you have to talk so politely to a young boy?"
Dong Zhongmou said directly, "Young man named Ye, to tell you the truth, you all have to leave with us today.
Make elixirs for us when you get here, otherwise all the people around you will die."
Zhao Mingzhen also squeezed to the front and said with a proud look on his face: "Young man named Ye, this is what will happen if you provoke me at Shenjian Villa!"
Ye Bufan finally understood. It turned out that these people had planned it long ago and used the people around him to force him to submit.
Once you agree, you will refine elixirs for them for the rest of your life and become the elixir-refining machine of Shenjian Villa, and you will never get ahead again."
Jiang Fangzhou couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "Bah, you shameless people, get out of here! My elder brother will not make medicine for you."
Ye Bufan said: "I won't leave with you, get out of here!"
"Boy, if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."
Ma Yuanwu yelled with murderous intent: "Believe it or not, I will kill a few of them right now to show you."
A flash of panic flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes, and he stepped in front of Xiaoqing: "If any of you dare to touch my sister, I will fight with you!"
Ma Yuanwu chuckled: "It seems you care about this little girl, right? Then I'll kill her first to show you."
After saying that, he moved his feet, bypassed Ye Bufan like a ghost, and reached out to grab Xiaoqing, who was concentrating on him.
