Ye Tian listened and shook his head slightly, "That won't do. He is a filial son, I will fulfill his wish."
Seeing Ye Tian's disagreement, Tang Xuan Si smiled, "Without this method, I fear it will be difficult to subdue this King of Bannan."
Ye Tian replied, "Man proposes, but fate disposes."
He paused, "You first resolve the issues with the Tang Sect. I will go to Bannan today."
Zhang Long Sheng said, "I will accompany you, sir." He was still hoping Ye Tian would go with him to deal with the Gu King.
Ye Tian nodded, "Yes, that would be good. After I cure Gong Tian Li's mother, I will accompany you to Miao Jiang."
Tang Xuan Si said no more and stated, "Alright, I will have someone arrange a car."
Half an hour later, three cars drove out of Tang Garden. Zhang Long Sheng and his retinue took two cars, while Ye Tian, Nong Yu, and Yin Ning rode in one.
The journey from Shu to Bannan was about two hundred kilometers. The road was relatively smooth, and in less than two hours, the cars had entered Bannan territory.
Nong Yu then dialed the phone of Gong Tian Li, the King of Bannan. When the call was answered, a middle-aged man's voice came through, "Who is this?"
Nong Yu said, "Divine Doctor Ye heard that the King of Bannan is a filial son, and that his mother is gravely ill, causing him to lose his appetite. Therefore, he deeply admires him. Divine Doctor Ye has now entered Bannan and wishes to diagnose and treat the old madam."
The other party asked, "Which Divine Doctor Ye?"
Nong Yu replied, "We are passing through Bannan now. You have fifteen minutes to consider. Once the time is up, Divine Doctor Ye will leave."
At this moment, in a manor in Bannan, a butler-like figure walked up to a middle-aged man, holding a mobile phone. The middle-aged man was over 1.9 meters tall, with square eyebrows and large eyes, exuding a tiger-like aura. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had not slept for several days and nights.
The butler cautiously approached and said in a low voice, "Sir, we just received a call, it was for you. Not many people know this number. The caller said a Divine Doctor Ye has arrived, and he greatly admires your filial piety, so he wishes to come and treat the old madam."
The middle-aged man, who was Gong Tian Li, the King of Bannan, had encountered similar situations before, where most were exaggerated attempts to trick him, causing the old lady unnecessary distress. He said indifferently, "No need to bother."
The butler said, "Sir, the caller said they are just passing through, and if there is no reply within fifteen minutes, they will leave."
Gong Tian Li pondered for a few seconds and asked, "You mean, the person who came is surnamed Ye, what is his name?"
The butler replied, "I didn't have time to ask."
"Surname Ye, Divine Doctor..." Gong Tian Li paced back and forth a few times, then suddenly said, "Didn't someone recommend a famous doctor in the capital also surnamed Ye? Could it be the same person?"
The butler said, "Sir, aren't you preparing to contact that Divine Doctor Ye? I think it would be better to meet him. If it's him, we'll save ourselves the trouble of going to the capital."
Gong Tian Li nodded slightly, "Alright, please invite him over. If it's genuine, that's best. If he's a fraud, then kill him outright!"
The butler quickly responded, "Yes!"
On the other side, Nong Yu received a return call. The other party said, "My lord welcomes Divine Doctor Ye and is waiting with open arms."
Nong Yu said coldly, "If you welcome him, why doesn't Gong Tian Li call himself? It seems you are not truly welcoming. Let's forget it. As the saying goes, a doctor does not knock on doors; we were inconsiderate." With that, she hung up the phone.
Ye Tian was satisfied with Nong Yu's actions. He knew that appearing too agreeable would only arouse suspicion.
The butler on the other end was slightly taken aback and looked at Gong Tian Li.
Gong Tian Li had heard clearly. He hesitated for two seconds, then reached out and took the phone, dialing again.
When the call was connected, Gong Tian Li said, "Is this Divine Doctor Ye? I am Gong Tian Li."
Nong Yu handed the phone to Ye Tian. Ye Tian said calmly, "I am Ye Tian."
Upon hearing Ye Tian's name, Gong Tian Li's heart stirred, and he said, "Divine Doctor Ye, I have long admired your name. I heard you have treated many important figures in the capital, and I am very impressed."
Ye Tian replied, "Treating the sick and saving lives is the duty of a physician. I am passing through this area and was deeply moved by Mr. Xi's filial piety. If there is a need, I am willing to lend my humble strength."
Gong Tian Li said, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Ye! My mother is gravely ill and in need of a good physician. It is wonderful that Divine Doctor Ye can come. May I ask where Divine Doctor Ye is now? I will personally come to welcome you!"
