Chapter 287 (2/2)

“I pity him, he’s bald…”

“...”

Everyone suddenly had the same reaction: pity…

That was because everyone knew what was going to happen, and who would be involved.

A small team appeared before the duke. There weren’t many, just three or four of them but they made a very powerful team. They were high-ranked members of the Sacred Teachings’ Light Riders.

These were riders sent by the Sacred Teachings to protect their doctors. These doctors were the jewels of the Teachings, nothing must happen to them. Naturally, the city sent the best riders to protect them.

At the same time, they were also there to protect Ye Lang and maintain the order at the clinic. They would warn, attack and chase away anyone who threatened the safety of the region.

Although they were not considered Ye Lang’s bodyguards, Ye Lang was now mentoring the people they protected. For this, they respected him as a teacher- though he’d already earned their admiration from what he had done. That was why anyone who insulted Ye Lang would naturally also be dealt with.

“Excuse me, my lord, please leave. Sheng City does not welcome you and you are forbidden from setting foot into Sheng City ever again,” said one of the Light Riders, maintaining their professionalism. It wasn’t because they respected him, they were used to being courteous.

“What do you mean I’m not allowed in? I’m a follower of the Teachings, and I’ve contributed a lot!” The duke was stunned since the appearance of the riders.

He didn’t expect the House of Confusion to be guarded by Light Riders, and these riders seemed to respect Ye Lang too. He’d just insulted Ye Lang, were the consequences going to be serious?

The Sacred Teachings. Even the three empires respected this power, no one would want to rub them the wrong way. At the same time, no one wanted the religion as their enemy either, they wanted their blessings too.

This duke was also a follower of the religion and at the same time a powerful man. Regular religious workers had to respect him for he’d helped the city during a time of great need. That was why he could be this arrogant, he thought no one would dare cross him in this place. As for the towns outside the main city, he never cared for the people there.

“The Teachings will remember your contributions, but we still do not welcome you here. You have just insulted an honoured guest of the Teachings- he was the one who cured our people of the plague, he cured many, many of our followers and even our doctors,” said the rider. He didn’t know who this man was, but as a follower, the duke still had the right to know why he was banished.

“I… I know this, but why does he want me to pay ten thousand gold coins? This is a robbery!” The duke softened his tone, as if he’d just remembered Ye Lang was the legendary genius doctor who saved tens of thousands of people. And among these people were many followers of the Sacred Teachings.

These tens of thousands of people would naturally honour and respect him, he was almost a saint in this region.

Right now, he was here to ruin this saint’s reputation to gain a little footing for himself. At the same time, he had to change the topic of conversation.

He didn’t want to provoke the rider, that would be very stupid.

A thin, dark youth appeared at the entrance. “Well, the sir did say this indeed IS a robbery. If you don’t like it, then you may leave. Don’t disturb the other people here.”
