"Did you hear that? He admitted it himself. How can such behavior be allowed? This is the Holy City! Our Holy Church's doctrine is to unconditionally help anyone in need!" The Duke said excitedly, bringing up the Holy Church's doctrine.
He felt that everyone should now be on his side, and that they should despise and condemn Ye Lang's shameless money-grabbing behavior!
"Excuse me, Your Duke, the Young Master is not a member of the Holy Church and is not required to abide by Holy Church doctrines! This fee is simply a reasonable consultation fee; you are free not to pay it!" After saying this, the thin, dark-skinned boy addressed the people in line, "Next, please come in. Please respect the elderly and children. If you have any critically ill patients, please let us know, and we will treat them first!"
"Your Duke, please leave here. We will have someone escort you back!" the Knights of Light said again.
"..." The Duke remained silent. He hadn't expected that even after all this, the situation would remain unchanged. He was still going to be expelled, while Ye Lang would continue to be the "money-grabbing Divine Physician."
"This is unfair! I want to see Bishop Eden!!" the Duke shouted, revealing that he was an acquaintance of Bishop Eden.
"..." Everyone fell silent. Everyone knew what had happened Bishop Eden and Ye Lang, but they didn't expect the Duke to bring up his name.
Isn't this just inviting humiliation?
"Even if Bishop Eden comes, it won't make a difference. He'll send you back anyway. His relationship with the Divine Physician Young Master is far from ordinary!" The Knights of Light wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
"How could this be? Just who is this Divine Physician? Why does he have such influence?" The Duke began to doubt Ye Lang's identity. He believed that only someone with an extraordinary background could have such influence and make everyone speak up for him.
"We don't know his background, we only know that he is a doctor worthy of our respect!!"
Everyone present could give the same answer, because no one cared about Ye Lang's identity; what they cared about was that Ye Lang was a doctor whose medical skills and ethics were worthy of respect.
"Respect? A doctor who only cares about money is obviously no good!" the Duke said angrily.
"Smack!"
The Duke was slapped across the face, but the person who hit him was Ye Lanyu, which surprised both the Seventh Princess and the other girl. Why would Ye Lanyu hit someone?
Ye Lanyu herself didn't know the answer to this question. She stared blankly at her hand, wondering why she had made the move and what it had to do with her.
However, at this moment, no one cared who made the move. As long as someone attacked the Duke, everyone would do the same thing: celebrate and cheer!
"Good!!"
"Well done!!"
"This kind of person deserves to be beaten up!!"
"You dare hit me, do you know that..." The Duke pointed at Ye Lanyu, enraged by the words of the crowd. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to kill Ye Lanyu ...
Wow, this girl is so beautiful!
Only then did everyone get a clear look at Ye Lanyu 'Ye Lanyu beauty!
At this moment, the Duke straightened his clothes and said with great poise, "Miss, if you apologize to me, I will not pursue your rudeness!"
Ye Lanyu frowned. She felt that what she had done was very rude and that she should apologize to the Duke, but for some reason, she resisted the thought and felt that it was the right thing to do.
"I'm sorry, it's only right that I hit you, although I don't know why I felt that way!" Ye Lanyu said frankly, without hiding her inexplicable feeling.
"..." The Seventh Princess and the two women remained silent.
Those present, however, continued to applaud and cheer, "That's right, it was justified to beat him up. Who told him to insult our Young Master here? Let me tell you, our Young Master has rules about accepting money!"
"What kind of rule is this, charging ten thousand gold coins?!" the Duke roared, getting angry just thinking about it.
"How did you even get this Duke? Look at all of us. Who can afford 10,000 gold coins? Charging 10,000 gold coins is only for you. It's not the same for others. Some people can even get it for free," one of the people in line said disdainfully.
"Why? Why do I have to pay ten thousand gold coins?" The Duke was confused and began to notice the problem himself.
"Young Master's consultation fees always depend on his mood. Perhaps it's because you're unpleasant to look at that that Young Master's charging you so much! However, you can definitely afford it, because Young Master never asks people to do things beyond their capabilities. He won't charge those who don't have money, and it's only right that those who have money take a little more of the consultation fee to cover their expenses. Otherwise, how will Young Master afford to buy medicine?" another person said. Paying for medical treatment is only right and proper, and at the very least, the cost of the medicine should be paid.
"I... I don't have that much money!!" The Duke was speechless and could only say that he didn't have any money. Of course, whether he had money or not, someone would soon answer that question.
"Duke Grace, you must be joking. You're worth at least 100,000. Is it not worth giving up one-tenth of that for your health?" another voice said, exposing the Duke's lie.
And this voice was also surprising, not only because this person knew about the Duke's wealth, but also because the voice belonged to one person—the one they had just mentioned.
"Bishop Eden, how could you do this..." The Duke was very surprised. He did not expect that even the person who came, Bishop Eden, would oppose him.
"What's wrong with me? Since we've known each other, I'm just giving you a heads-up. You'd better use 10,000 gold coins to buy back your health. You won't get another chance like this. The Divine Physician isn't a member of the Holy Church. He could leave at any time!" Bishop Eden warned.
After a long silence, the Duke gritted his teeth and said, "I have just offended the Divine Physician. Do you think he would agree?"
He had figured it out. Even Bishop Eden was on Ye Lang's side, so he should just obediently listen to him for a good outcome. Judging from Bishop Eden's attitude, he was still helping him.
That's right, Bishop Eden was helping him. After all, they had known each other for a while, and the Duke had given the Holy Church a lot of benefits, so they had to give him face!
Bishop Eden waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! He might not even remember who you are by then. You're not important to him at all! Just pay your consultation fee honestly and don't try anything funny, or your fate will be very pitiful!"
