"What tricks are you using?" the Duke asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Don't pretend to be poor and try to get the consultation fee waived. Even if you can fool everyone, you'll still suffer. There was once a rich man who pretended to be poor, and no one knew he was rich. In the end, he was still punished!" Bishop Eden recalled, and almost everyone found it unbelievable when they thought of that man's situation.
"What's wrong with him?" the Duke asked, but the people nearby didn't seem to care, as if they weren't interested in the matter, perhaps because they already knew about it.
"Nothing much, it's just that our Muddleheaded Divine Physician gave him the wrong medicine, which made him unbearably itchy all over. He scratched his skin raw all day long and could only beg the Divine Physician to save him. And our Divine Physician just blankly said, 'Why did you take medicine randomly...'" Bishop Eden sighed.
"..." The Duke fell silent. From Bishop Eden's few words, he seemed to see the misery of the man who had used tricks, and he could better understand Ye Lang's infuriating personality.
Therefore, he decided that he shouldn't try to outsmart Ye Lang, as it would be detrimental to him and he would only learn a lesson. The best course of action was to obediently pay the 10,000 gold coin consultation fee.
It was this decision that saved him from a disaster; otherwise, he would have been in a terrible situation!
For some reason, everyone who deceives Ye Lang ends up taking the wrong medicine. If it were just that Ye Lang the wrong medicine, people might suspect that he did it on purpose and that he wasn't actually confused and gave the medicine to the wrong person.
In fact, it's not just Ye Lang who gives the wrong medicine; sometimes, by sheer coincidence, they themselves take the wrong medicine!
This is what everyone finds amazing; they all believe that Ye Lang is under divine protection, otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen...
"It's alright, there aren't many people. Mom, are you tired? I'll carry you over there to rest, and I'll join the queue!" Chen Pi was used to this kind of scene. This wasn't the first time he had sought medical help, and he was familiar with this situation.
"Okay, I feel great right now!" the old man said.
"Yeah, I feel really comfortable too..." Chen Pi said before going to join the queue.
At this moment, Ye Lanyu was still being harassed by that Duke, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hit him earlier!
"Get the hell out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Ye Lanyu said coldly.
"You look beautiful when you're angry. Can we be friends?" the Duke continued, oblivious to the danger, and even tossed his sparse hair.
"I know I'm beautiful, you don't need to tell me that!" Ye Lanyu waved her hand, and the icy aura froze the Duke's feet on the ground, making it impossible for him to follow her.
"??" The Duke wanted to follow, but found that his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, so he looked down.
"Ah... what, what's going on? Why are my feet frozen?" the Duke cried out, terrified by Ye Lanyu's ice.
"?!" Bishop Eden looked at the Duke's feet, seemingly in disbelief. Although he could guess that it was Ye Lanyu's doing, he did not know when Ye Lanyu had cast the spell.
Not only Bishop Eden, but also the nearby Knights of Light were all unsure when Ye Lanyu had used magic, and they could hardly believe it.
They couldn't believe that someone could cast a spell so silently right under their noses. Even if they hadn't noticed, it was still something that ordinary people couldn't do.
This incredibly beautiful young girl appears to be a hidden master, possessing a level of skill that seems unusually high for her age.
"Duke Grace, it seems you've offended someone you shouldn't have. Consider this a small lesson for you! Since Bishop Eden is helping you, we'll take our leave now!" The Knights of Light took their leave and returned to the Muddleheaded Hall, back to their posts.
"Girl, you just wait!!" The Duke was furious. He was already angry and had originally wanted to tease Ye Lanyu to vent his anger, but Ye Lanyu tricked him and made him embarrass himself in front of everyone again.
"Afraid of you? Do you have anyone with you?" Ye Lanyu said contemptuously.
"Snort!"
The Duke snorted, took out a small cylinder with a tiny tail from his person, held the cylinder up to the sky with one hand, and pulled hard on the tail with the other.
"Chirp!"
A beam of light shot out from the small cylinder, accompanied by a sharp sound, and flew into the sky!
Isn't that a signal flare? Are they trying to gather reinforcements?
"Setting off fireworks in broad daylight? Who's so stupid?" Ye Lanyu and Ye Lang, though in different places, said the same thing at the same time.
"Ye Lanyu, this isn't fireworks!"
"Young Master, this is not fireworks!"
The Seventh Princess and Alvin, who was beside Ye Lang, spoke at the same time, but neither explained what it was, because both siblings said it in a very casual manner—
"This is fireworks!"
Okay, okay, let's just call it fireworks! Speaking of which, signal flares are a type of fireworks, just with a slightly different purpose.
"Duke, what do you mean by this?" Bishop Eden frowned, clearly disliking the Duke's summoning of troops.
The Duke, oblivious to Bishop Eden's displeasure, replied excitedly, "I want to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"
"Do you want to teach her a lesson here?" Bishop Eden asked in a deep voice.
The Duke still didn't notice anything amiss and nodded, saying, "Yes, right here. I'm going to teach her a lesson and let her know that I, the Duke, am not someone to be trifled with!"
"Don't blame me for not warning you, this is not your territory. You can't do whatever you want here. If you offend the Divine Physician inside, you'll have that disease for the rest of your life!" Bishop Eden made things clear, then turned and left, entering the Muddleheaded Hall.
"The Divine Physician is inside, what's there to be afraid of? I don't know how you became a bishop!" The Duke said disdainfully as he watched Bishop Eden walk in.
"You brat, just wait here. My men will be here soon. Then you'll obediently become mine... hahaha..." The Duke lewdly laughed at Ye Lanyu.
"Ye Lanyu, he's flirting with you. Give him some hail!" the Seventh Princess said slowly.
"Do you need to teach me this!" Ye Lanyu gently raised her hand, and suddenly a block of ice the size of a brick appeared in mid-air, floating in the air. Well, those that were not launched just floated in the air, while those that were launched naturally rushed towards the Duke with a whistling sound.
