any years honing herself in society, knew that this annual salary was already quite high and showed an envious expression.Huang Xiaomei simply curled her lips, wasn't it just 600,000 What was so great...Ye Bufan looked up, the girl in front of him was about twenty years old. She wore a pink long dress and her beautiful face radiated nobility and fierceness.

While he was sizing up the girl, she was also sizing him up. A pair of beautiful big eyes looked him over from head to toe.

"Are you Ye Bufan"

"Yes, it's me!"

Ye Bufan nodded, it was clear that the other party should have been born into royalty, with a high status.

The girl asked again, “I heard you’re the number one on the Celestial Wind Academy’s Heaven Ranking and your cultivation is very high”

"Before, that was the case, but now it's not. Now I am part of Lingxiao Academy and have nothing to do with Cangfeng Academy anymore."

"Which academy you're from doesn't matter, what matters is that you're first on the Heavenly Ranking." The girl said bluntly, "Go ahead and attack. This princess wants to see just how capable you are!"

"This... this isn't very appropriate, is it"

Ye Bufan didn't expect the girl to actually challenge him. He glanced back at the palace gate; it was clearly not appropriate to fight here.

"The county lord said that if it's suitable, then it's suitable."

Before he could even make a move, the girl slapped him directly with her palm.

Seeing the other party so domineering, Ye Bufan no longer tolerated it and directly raised his hand to meet him.

He was just about to fight when suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his sea of consciousness, followed by dizziness and lightheadedness.

"Bad, this is a divine consciousness attack technique!"

Ye Bufan's heart was immediately thrown into turmoil. As someone who possessed the Divine Sense Blade, he naturally understood the reason behind this.

While his attacks are not as formidable as his peak-period divine consciousness blade, they are definitely divine consciousness-based attack techniques.

If it had been before he was injured, he could have easily repelled the opponent's attack with his powerful psychic abilities.

But now it's impossible, his spiritual power is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, it's too much of a gap.

Before he could even react, the girl's palm struck his chest.

With a bang, he flew backwards several meters and crashed into a large tree by the roadside.

Although this girl was quite forceful, she didn't try to kill him. Her palm strike wasn't heavy at all and couldn't harm his powerful physique.

Even so, he got up from the ground looking disheveled and covered in dirt.

"Is that all you got You call yourself the number one on the Heavenly Rankings This Cangfeng Academy doesn't seem so impressive after all."

Her pretty face was filled with arrogance, like a victorious little hen. She walked towards the palace gate with her hands behind her back and an air of pride.

The guards at the palace gates greeted her with utmost respect, offering no obstruction whatsoever. They didn't even seem surprised by what she had just done.

Ye Bufan wore a wry smile, he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out the door, he would encounter such a willful princess.

Actually, he had already seen through it. The other party's cultivation was not very high, only at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage.

This level of skill wouldn't be considered top-tier in either Cangfeng Academy or his own Lingxiao Academy.

But the most dire thing is that the opponent has a divine consciousness attack technique, which will double her combat power and even achieve the effect of killing across ranks.

Seeing that the girl had already left, he didn't bother anymore. His true energy surged, shaking off all the dust from his body.

"Hold on!"

Just as he was about to leave, someone called out to him from behind.

Ye Bufan frowned, how come there are so many people in the imperial palace, making it impossible to leave

He turned back and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walking towards him.

This man was about thirty or forty years old, with a fair complexion and handsome features. He could be considered a maturely charming gentleman, but as he walked, there emanated from his entire being an aura of authority and ruthlessness.

Although a warm smile played on his face, Ye Bufan could see a glint of cunning in his eyes.

Behind him followed two elderly men in black. Although their demeanor appeared calm, the aura emanating from their bodies was extraordinary, unmistakably that of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Prince Song Jian of Anshun!

An idea popped into my head instantly. Although I had never met this person before, I was certain that he was Song Jian.

A middle-aged man came before Ye Bufan, with a slight smile: "Dr. Ye, I am Prince An Shun Song Jian."

I'm so sorry, my daughter was being a bit rude just now. Please forgive her.

It seems I was right. The other party is indeed Prince Anshun. He just didn't expect that the willful girl just now would be his daughter.

He was also somewhat surprised that Song Jian would find him so quickly. It seemed that the other party had a very strong hold within this palace.

Although not yet at the point of absolute control, every move the Empress Dowager made was known to him.

"Have met the prince."

No matter what, the on-stage things still need to be done. Ye Bufan bowed to Song Jian.

"Doctor Ye, please don't be so humble. I've heard you're a rising star for a long time, and seeing you today confirms it."

Song Jian had a kind smile on his face, as if he were looking at an outstanding junior.

"Dr. Ye is from Tianlang City, right"

Ye Bufan nodded. "That's right, I am from Tianlang City."

Song Jian smiled and said, "Tianlang City is a good place. The Empress Dowager had been unwell before, but after going there for a while, she came back miraculously cured."

Ye Bufan thought to himself, as expected, he's a cunning old fox. This guy is clearly implying that it was him who cured Hua Ziyue.

"That was the Empress Dowager's good fortune, as heaven has blessed her."

He naturally wouldn't say much about such things and directly started practicing tai chi.

Song Jian said again: "I've long heard that Dr. Ye is a young talent and accomplished at a young age."

Not only is he a skilled physician capable of bringing the dead back to life, but he also possesses extraordinary martial arts talent. Upon entering Cangfeng Academy, he immediately secured the top spot on the Heavenly List. Now, he has risen to become the Dean of Lingxiao Academy.

Meeting someone is always better than hearing about them, and today's meeting confirms this.

The other party's unceasing praise caused Ye Bufan's heart to immediately rise. The other party definitely wouldn't come to praise him out of boredom, there must be ulterior motives.

He respectfully replied, "Your Highness flatters me!"

"That's not flattery; Dr. Ye is truly gifted." Song Jian smiled at him, his smile widening. "I wonder what Dr. Ye thinks of my daughter"

"".

The other party's turn was so sudden that Ye Bufan wasn't quite prepared, and subconsciously said, "Of course the county princess is a rare beauty, not only with captivating features but also just now she pointed out flaws in my cultivation!"

"It seems Dr. Ye has a good impression of my daughter, so how about I match her with Dr. Ye"

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan was so shocked that he stood there dumbfounded.

He never expected that the Prince An Shun, who had been talking to him for so long, actually wanted to marry his daughter to him.

What is the other party's purpose Are they so optimistic about themselves

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the other party was up to. But one thing was certain, this guy definitely didn't have good intentions towards him.

Even without the Li family incident, this An Shun prince was absolutely an extremely treacherous and cunning person.

Song Jian didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and continued to say cheerfully, "My daughter has been pampered since she was young, and only a talented young man like Dr. Ye could control her."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. But I am but a commoner, dull-witted and unworthy of the princess's attention."

Ye Bufan now understands, this old fox is clearly letting him choose a side.

Once this marriage is accepted, whether or not it ultimately becomes successful, it is equivalent to openly declaring oneself as standing against the Empress Dowager.

He just couldn't understand why the other party cared so much about him, a small figure. Could it be that his recent performance had been too dazzling

Seeing his refusal, Song Jian's smile vanished instantly from his face, replaced by an endless aura of majesty.

"So, you're refusing"nd saw that they had already gone deep into the camp; the entrance they had passed through earlier was nowhere to be seen.Feng Tianxiang said, "Fang Senior Brother, aren't you overthinking things"This...
