Dugu Xiu said, "Shortly after the engagement, someone suddenly broke into the patron's palace at night and took Situ Dianmo away.
I was practicing in seclusion at the time and didn't know the specific situation. When I came out, the person had already been taken away."
"What, was taken away?" Ye Bufan felt nervous and asked, "Who is that person? Are there any clues later?"
Dugu Xiu said: "That man's cultivation level is very high, at least above the middle stage of Dongxu. The guards in the palace can't stop him at all, and no one among the elders is his enemy.
Because of this, the man took Situ Dianmo away easily without even seeing his appearance.
Later, the palace secretly sent people to investigate for a long time, but there were no clues at all. Situ Dianmo seemed to have disappeared from the world.
If I want to get that person back, I can only hope that that person will come again, so from then on, I monitored the entire palace every night until I met you later."
Only then did Ye Bufan understand why he was discovered by this old monster that night when he just used a soul-stirring technique. It turned out that someone had alerted him before.
I also understood why Lin Sisi had been searching for so long but could not find any news about Situ Dianmo. It turned out that he was not in the imperial city at all.
Although he was unable to use the soul-searching technique, he had been paying attention to the other person's expression changes and even mental fluctuations with his spiritual consciousness to make sure that what he just said was not false.
He had just found the clue to Situ Dianmo, but now it was suddenly interrupted, which made him feel quite upset.
But things have already happened, and there is nothing you can do if you are anxious. At least it is confirmed that Situ Dianmo is in Tianluo Prefecture, and you can only look for it slowly in the future.
He calmed down and asked again: "What's going on with this woman? Since Situ Dianmo has been taken away, why did you bring such a fake here?"
"Because this concerns the face of the entire royal family."
Dugu Xiu said, "The engagement ceremony has been held before. If the princess is stolen during the wedding, once word spreads, the whole royal family will lose face.
In desperation, Situ Yuan came up with an idea, which was to find a woman who looked exactly like Situ Dianmo, and then disguise herself to fool her into getting married.
But he was responsible for everything, and I didn’t pay much attention to it.”
Ye Bufan asked a few more questions one after another, and was sure that there was no useful information anymore. Dugu Xiu said: "Doctor Ye, I have answered all your questions, is it time to detoxify me now?
As long as you let me go, I can swear to God that I will never be your enemy in the future."
This is what he is most concerned about, firstly, to get rid of the poison in his body, and secondly, to be able to let himself go.
Ye Bufan smiled coldly: "Just because you harmed Situ Dianmo for your own selfish interests, do you think I will let you go?"
Dugu Xiu was a little anxious: "But, you just promised that as long as I answer your questions, you must let me go."
"Yes, I did say that, and I always keep my word."
A smirk appeared on Ye Bufan's face, "I promise I won't do anything to you, but I can't promise them."
Just because this old guy harmed Situ Dianmo, and now he doesn't know whether he will live or die, how could he let him go so easily.
Waving his hand to the side, Jiang Fangzhou was not polite at all. He stepped forward and broke Dugu Xiu's neck with a click.
This ancestor of the Dugu family, who had lived for hundreds of years, had just completed his rebirth, but his dream of longevity ended in the blink of an eye.
After getting rid of Dugu Xiu, Ye Bufan turned back and looked at the fake Situ Dianmo.
"Tell me, what is your purpose for doing this? Why are you pretending to be Situ Dianmo?"
The woman in front of me chuckled, showing no signs of nervousness at all.
"Didn't that dead old man make it clear enough that he wanted me to give face to the royal family?
For me personally, this is also a good thing. If I really want to marry the patron king, then I will be rich and prosperous, and I will have no worries about food and clothing."
"Really?"
Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "If you are so willing to be a princess, why did you ask to leave with me later?"
"Hehe, if you say this, people just think it's funny."
Ye Bufan said: "Is it just for fun? Then why did you stab me secretly?"
"For the sake of wealth, think about it, if I kill you at this time and rescue that old monster, from now on I will be a hero of the entire Dashun Empire royal family, and I will have money that I can't spend all my life."
This woman is still talking nonsense.
"Really? The reason is quite good."
Ye Bufan smiled coldly, "Then tell me, since you are a strong man at the peak of integration, why did you pretend to be a weak woman with no strength? And why did you run to my ancient medical clinic to ask for help?
?”
After he said this, the smile on the woman's face disappeared instantly, revealing a look of astonishment.
"You actually know who I am, when did you find out?"
Not only her, but Nalan Yujia, Lu Xueman and others next to her also showed shocked expressions.
Ye Bufan's words have made it very clear that this woman is Lan Mei'er who ran to the ancient medical clinic for help.
Now that her identity was revealed, she no longer continued to pretend. The muscles on her face twisted and slowly returned to their previous appearance.
"You...it's you. It turns out you have been lying to us before!"
When Nalan Yujia realized that he had been deceived by this woman, he became furious and said, "How dare you lie to me? I will break your neck right now."
Lan Meier smiled, showing no trace of nervousness or fear.
"Sister Nalan, don't worry yet. Your man hasn't finished asking me yet. He won't even agree to kill me."
Sure enough, Ye Bufan stretched out his hand to stop Nalan Yujia. Even if he wanted to kill this woman, he had to understand the other party's identity and purpose before taking action.
"Wait a minute and let's talk about it after we figure things out."
Lan Meier smiled again: "Ye Bufan, I'm really curious how you saw through me?
My set of techniques to hide one’s cultivation level is a secret that has not been taught to the sect. It has no flaws and even a strong person in the Dongxu stage cannot see through it. How did you see through it?”
"Because I'm a doctor."
Ye Bufan said, "The technique you use to hide your cultivation is really powerful, and I can't see any flaws.
But the problem is that the difference between a cultivator and ordinary people is not just in cultivation.
In the eyes of a doctor, everything from the muscles and bones to the blood flow rate and the width of the meridians are completely different.
Because of this, I had doubts about your identity when I checked your pulse for the first time.
You are obviously a strong man in the integration stage, but you pretend to be a weak woman. Who can believe that you have no purpose?"
"I didn't expect it. It seems I was careless."
Lan Meier said, "I thought my plan was perfect, but I didn't expect your medical skills to be so powerful."
Then she asked: "In that case, why didn't you expose me at that time? Why didn't you drive me out or kill me directly?"
