Chapter 288 (1/2)

“You heard him! Even he admits he’s robbing us. How could we allow this? This is a sacred place, the Sacred Teachings tell us we must help anyone who needs help without condition!” said the duke excitedly, dragging the Teachings into this matter.

He felt like everyone would start to agree with him. They should too, they should condemn such a shameless daylight robbery!

“I’m sorry, my lord, the genius doctor isn’t a follower of the Sacred Teachings so he doesn’t have to follow its doctrine! The fees they charge are reasonable medical bills, you can choose to not pay!” once the thin, dark youth finished, he turned to the rest of the queue, “Next please! Please be aware of the elders and young children around you, please report anyone with a life-threatening condition- we’ll deal with you first!”

“Sir, you should leave. We’ll escort you out!” said the Light Rider.

“...” The duke fell silent. He couldn’t believe nothing changed even after his speech. And that Ye Lang would continue robbing the people.

“This is unfair, I want to meet Pope Eden!!” shouted the duke. He must be someone close to the pope.

“...” Everyone fell silent, for they all knew what happened between the pope and Ye Lang. They didn’t expect the duke to even drag the pope’s name into this.

He… He was literally embarrassing himself!

“Even if Pope Eden arrives, it’d be useless. He’ll ask you to leave too, his relationship with the genius doctor is not what you think!” the Light Rider was about to laugh, but stopped himself.

“How? Who is this doctor, why is he so powerful here?” the duke started to be suspicious of Ye Lang’s identity. Only someone very powerful could have such an influence over the people, where everyone had to defend his name in public.

“We don’t know, but we know he’s a doctor worth our respect!”

Everyone in the crowd gave the same answer because no one ever cared about Ye Lang’s identity. They only cared that Ye Lang was a respectable doctor.

“Respect? A doctor who only cares about money is scum!” cursed the duke in anger.

Slap!

Someone slapped the duke across his face. The person who hit him was Ye Lanyu! The seventh princess and Zhen Xiaoyan were both very surprised. Why did Ye Lanyu hit him?

Even Ye Lanyu couldn’t answer the question. She stared at her hand, her mind suddenly blank. She was surprised at herself. Why did she hit him? Was what he said any of her business?

However, no one cared who she was. When they saw someone slap the duke, everyone did the same thing-- they cheered!

“Good for him!!”

“Awesome!”

“People like him deserve it!”
