Chapter 1712: The Terrifying Assassin Guild
pt, he had completely seen through the coldness of the world.Those who once called each other brothers have now become strangers overnight. Among them, Ye Bufan is the first to be like a beacon in th..."Uh... well, I don't know. My master just gave it to me, who knows where he got it from. As long as it works, that's all that matters."
Yè Bùfán also knew that there was no way to explain this matter, so he could only dump it all on the nonexistent master.
Su Caiwei didn't know all that, and looked at Ye with envy. "Big Brother Ye, I'm so envious of you, to have such an amazing teacher."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, Miss Su, I have something else I want to ask you."
"Ye Bufan immediately changed the subject. “Do you know about the Assassin's Guild"
Su Caiwei said, "Of course I know. Everyone in Tianlang City knows. It's not a secret at all. Why did you suddenly ask this"
"No worries, I heard a few guests chatting about it today and got curious, so I wanted to learn more."
Ye Bufan asked, “Aren't assassins just killers Shouldn't they be hiding secretly Why is there a guild”
"Brother Ye, it seems you really don't understand the outside world. Assassins not only have guilds, but they are right in the most bustling part of Tianlang City..."
Su Caiwei spoke eloquently, giving a detailed account of the entire Assassin's Guild.
"Normally, this would be something done in secret, but the guild's power is so overwhelming now. They are so strong that no one dares to challenge them."
It is said that a hundred years ago, the city lord of this city took action and wiped out the assassin guild in the city.
The next day, from the city lord to the lowest clerk, everyone in the government office was assassinated and hanged at the city gate.
Since then, all the countries on the Kunlun Continent reached a tacit agreement with the Assassin's Guild, and they refrained from interfering with each other.
The empire won't send anyone to exterminate the Assassin's Guild, and the Assassin's Guild generally wouldn't accept assassination missions targeting core members of the empire...
After Su Caiwei's introduction, Ye Bufan raised a few more questions before getting a preliminary understanding of the situation in this kingdom.
Originally, in the Kunlun Continent, the strength of various kingdoms was not that strong. Not to mention that they couldn't compare with ancient China on Earth, even compared to the feudal dynasties of ancient times, they were inferior.
The powerful members of the Imperial Wang clan are still relatively safe, but those who have fallen into decline not only attract the ire of the Assassin's Guild, but even large sects, influential families, or martial arts academies would be too much for them to handle.
In this case, the existence of the Assassin's Guild in broad daylight wouldn't be surprising.
Ye Bufan asked again, "Miss Su, how is the status of doctors in your place"
"A doctor's status is still pretty good, after all, many people rely on doctors to save their lives."
Of course, this is only in comparison to ordinary people. Compared to royal families, aristocratic nobles, and powerful figures from major sects, there is still a huge gap.
But if one were an alchemist, their status would be elevated, and they would be treated as a honored guest wherever they went by various factions.
"Oh!" Ye Bufan asked again, "How about doctors' income For example, the Ma family father and son who came today, are they very wealthy"
He was truly puzzled, wondering just how much money the Ma Fu father and son actually had to be willing to offer 200,000 gold coins for his life.
Su Caiwei said, "Doctors' income is very substantial. For example, our Taiping Medical Hall can earn thousands of gold coins a day."
However, my father has always been sympathetic to the poor. Many people would seek medical treatment from him without paying, and he even sometimes paid for them. Therefore, our family didn't have much wealth.
But Ma Fuxing and his son are different. They only treat the wealthy, and they are very money-oriented. They probably have around a million in savings over all these years.
This is still because, the vast majority of patients came to our Tai Ping Medical Hall. The reason they were so eager to drive my father and me out of Tianlang City was that they wanted a monopoly and to make more ill-gotten gains by charging higher prices.
"Where is Qingde Medical Hall located How does its location compare to our Taiping Medical Hall"
Su Caiwei didn't think much about it and said directly, "Just on the other end of this street, we're on the east side, they're on the west side, the positions aren't too different."
Ye Bufan nodded. "I understand."
The two chatted for a while longer, then Su Caiwei went back to sleep. Ye Bufan, however, left the room alone and quietly slipped out of the clinic, disappearing into the night.
He walked down the main street of Tianlang City, a wave of emotion washing over him. Having grown accustomed to the bright lights and bustling nightlife of modern society, he found himself quite out of place in this pitch-black night.
According to Su Caiwei, he soon found the Qingde Medicine Hall on the other side of the street.
In a room inside the clinic, Ma Fu and his son Ma Zhiqiang were sitting together drinking.
Ma Fu drained the cup of wine in one gulp and then set it down, slapping the table with his hand.
"That damn Ye Bufan, if it weren't for him suddenly showing up, the Taiping Medical Hall would already belong to my father and me!"
Ma Zhiqiang also had bloodshot eyes, his face filled with hatred.
"Worst of all, that bastard even destroyed our family's cultivation. How are we supposed to make money now"
"So he has to die," Ma Fu said. "We posted a task in the Assassin's Guild this time, that kid is as good as dead."
Ma Zhiqiang put down his wine glass, sounding a little uneasy: "Our mission was released during the day, so we should have results by now. Why hasn't the Assassin's Guild sent any news back"
“I think that boy is very skilled. I wonder if there will be any accidents”
"How could there be an accident That's the Assassin's Guild. The moment we paid them 200,000 gold coins, Ye Bufan was destined to die."
Ma Fu said confidently, “Even if that kid has some skill, so what Even if one assassin fails, the Assassin's Guild will send stronger assassins immediately until they kill him. They won’t rest until he’s dead.”
Ma Zhiqiang nodded. "Father is right. It is said that there is no one on the Kunlun Continent that the Assassin's Guild cannot kill, let alone a small medicine shop attendant."
Ma Fu said: "Once we kill that boy, dealing with Su Dingfang and his daughter will be much easier. Then we can figure out a way to get our hands on the Taiping Medical Hall."
"Good idea, too bad the ones dying are you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open with a bang, and Ye Bufan walked in with a smile on his face.
"You... how did you get here"
Both the father and son were terrified upon seeing Ye Bufan, their hands trembling and faces contorted with fear.
"Didn't expect you guys to be so wealthy, actually taking out 200,000 gold coins to buy my life." Ye Bufan looked at the two with a playful smile, "Since you're so rich, I naturally have to help you spend it."
"You... Ye Bufan, as long as you don't kill us, we are willing to give you all the money."
"That's negotiable," Ye Bufan said, looking at the two of them. "The most important issue now is, what about the task you posted on the Assassin's Guild"
Ma Fu quickly said, "This is easy. I'll go back and withdraw the task tomorrow."
Yè Bùfán asked: "You won't lie to me, will you Can a task still be withdrawn after it has been published"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!really okay Please don't let our Gao family hold you back.""Uncle Gao, do you see me as that impulsive person"Looking at Ye Bufan's confident eyes, Gao Jiajun hesitated for a moment before finally mak...
