In the front row.
Ji Ningyue's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened involuntarily.
At this moment, though her attention was on the road, her thoughts were on the conversation behind her.
She was very curious about Chu Fan's attitude towards her.
She actually hoped to win Chu Fan's favor.
Facing her aunt's intensely curious gaze, Chu Fan reiterated his previous stance: he was not interested in romantic matters at the moment and would discuss it later.
Hearing this reply, Ji Ningyue's eyes dimmed with disappointment.
Was she really incapable of capturing the young master's heart?
Qin Xue glanced at Ji Ningyue and said helplessly, "Xiao Fan, I think she's quite good. Her figure is great, her appearance is beautiful, and she's also very talented!"
"You're not young anymore, you should seriously consider it."
Chu Fan did not want to discuss these matters further. Moreover, Ji Ningyue was right beside him, and talking too much would only make her overthink. He responded with silence.
The car arrived at the foot of the Shan Hai Pavilion.
Qin Xue looked out the car window and asked curiously, "Xiao Fan, what are we doing here? Are we meeting someone?"
Knowing that Chu Fan had developed in Shan Hai City to this point, he had met many influential people.
Qin Xue instinctively assumed Chu Fan was taking her to meet someone.
Chu Fan shook his head, "We're not meeting anyone, we're staying here!"
Having lived in Shan Hai City since leaving the village, how could she not know what Shan Hai Pavilion was?
Qin Xue's face was filled with surprise, "I, we're staying at Shan Hai Pavilion?"
Shan Hai Pavilion, wasn't it rumored to be the place of the King of Shan Hai?
Chu Fan nodded, "Yes, we are staying at Shan Hai Pavilion!"
Recalling the rumors about the King of Shan Hai that her daughter had told her, Qin Xue asked hesitantly, "Xiao Fan, you, you wouldn't be the legendary King of Shan Hai, would you?"
"I am!"
Towards his aunt, Chu Fan felt there was nothing to hide.
"You..."
At that moment, Qin Xue truly didn't know what to say.
She really hadn't expected her nephew to be the King of Shan Hai that countless people were speculating about and so curious about.
No wonder, even after provoking the Imperial Medical Hall, he wasn't worried about being targeted at all.
This was Qin Xue's first time at Shan Hai Pavilion.
After Chu Fan led her on a tour, she complained, "Xiao Fan, you child, how many more things are you hiding?"
"Auntie, I'm not hiding anything!"
"As you know, I don't like to show off. This Shan Hai Pavilion is just a temporary residence for me, there's no need to flaunt it!"
Qin Xue nodded in satisfaction.
"That's a good mindset. Young people shouldn't be arrogant."
Chu Fan grunted and added, "Auntie, I hope you can keep this a secret for me!"
"You know the demeanor of the Nan family. There are some things they don't need to know."
Having been married into the Nan family for many years, Qin Xue naturally understood the Nan family's ways and nodded in agreement.
Thinking that his aunt was worried about the development of Yuxue Pharmaceutical, Chu Fan then said, "Auntie, just continue developing Yuxue Pharmaceutical!"
"Ningyue is here, so if you need any material supplies or sales channels, just talk to her directly!"
"Don't worry about the targeting from the Imperial Medical Hall!"
Knowing Ji Ningyue's relationship with Chu Fan and understanding that Chu Fan was the legendary King of Shan Hai, Qin Xue's anxiety lessened considerably.
She immediately began discussing relevant matters with Ji Ningyue, who had been silently following along.
Chu Fan returned to his room and called the Central War Emperor.
Suddenly receiving Chu Fan's call, the Central War Emperor was startled. After taking several deep breaths, he quickly answered.
"My Lord, what are your orders?"
His tone was humble and respectful.
"The Imperial Medical Hall, you should know about it, right?"
The news of Chu Fan's contempt for the Imperial Medical Hall and the breaking of the Imperial Medical Token had already reached the War Emperor Hall.
At this moment, the Five Great War Emperors were gathered, discussing how the War Emperor Hall should respond to this matter.
Remain neutral?
Or seize this opportunity to strengthen their relationship with Chu Fan.
Unexpectedly, as they were discussing, Chu Fan's call came.
The Central War Emperor glanced at the other four people and quickly replied, "We know!"
"In the Dragon God Kingdom, the Imperial Medical Hall and the War Emperor Hall are of equal standing, and we have had extensive contact!"
"However, in recent years, some old geezers in the Imperial Medical Hall, relying on their profound medical skills, have often shown arrogance towards the War Emperor Hall, acting as if they want to stand on top of us and relieve themselves."
"If it weren't for the fact that our brothers, who were seriously injured on the battlefield, sometimes still needed treatment from people in the Imperial Medical Hall, we would have made the Imperial Medical Hall disappear from the Dragon God Kingdom long ago!"
In other words, the War Emperor Hall was also very displeased with the arrogance of the Imperial Medical Hall in recent years.
However, since they held the key to saving lives, even with their displeasure, they had to endure it.
Chu Fan couldn't be bothered to think so much.
He said directly, "I am very unhappy with the Imperial Medical Hall right now!"
"I'm giving you an opportunity. Before dawn tomorrow, not a single branch or member of the Imperial Medical Hall in Shan Hai City is allowed to remain."
"If you dare not, then I will handle it myself!"
The Five Great War Emperors heard Chu Fan's words and looked helpless.
They knew that the Imperial Medical Hall had thoroughly angered Chu Fan this time.
The few who had long been dissatisfied with the Imperial Medical Hall nodded to the Central War Emperor, agreeing to take on this task.
Using a borrowed knife to kill, it was the best stratagem.
The War Emperor Hall and the Imperial Medical Hall, being part of the Dragon God Kingdom, had no reason to act against the Imperial Medical Hall.
However, now that Chu Fan, this demon god, had intervened, the War Emperor Hall had a reason to suppress the Imperial Medical Hall.
They could even take this opportunity to completely eliminate some of the arrogant individuals within the Imperial Medical Hall.
A department with no combat power, only knowing how to cure diseases, also dared to try and step on top of the War Emperor Hall?
The Five Great War Emperors would not allow it.
"My Lord, please rest assured. Before dawn tomorrow, there will be no more personnel from the Imperial Medical Hall in Shan Hai City!"
Chu Fan let out a soft hum and hung up the phone.
"Brothers, let's go!"
"Go!"
The Five Great War Emperors were filled with enthusiasm, completely forgetting their identities as War Emperors.
It would be dark in another two hours.
Time was pressing.
The members of the War Emperor Hall immediately mobilized, led by the Five Great War Emperors, and rushed towards the three strongholds of the Imperial Medical Hall in Shan Hai City.
Bai Sui Ju, the largest stronghold of the Imperial Medical Hall in Shan Hai City.
Sun Hongji, an Imperial Medical Envoy who was slapped by Chu Fan during the day, was currently mobilizing the various forces of the Imperial Medical Hall to prepare for the attack on Yuxue Pharmaceutical and the Nan family at dawn tomorrow. Suddenly, the Central War Emperor, along with members of the War Emperor Hall, broke in.
As a disciple of the Third Elder of the Imperial Medical Hall, Sun Hongji naturally recognized the Central War Emperor.
He quickly got up and politely greeted, "Sun Hongji, pays respects to the Central War Emperor!"
"May I ask the reason for the Central War Emperor's visit?"
The Central War Emperor's face was icy.
"I am here today to inform you that all members of the Imperial Medical Hall's strongholds must get out of Shan Hai City before dawn!"
Sun Hongji was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Central War Emperor, are you mistaken?"
"Asking all the members of the Imperial Medical Hall's strongholds to evacuate Shan Hai City?"
"You heard correctly, it means all the people from your Imperial Medical Hall must leave Shan Hai City!"
Seeing that the Central War Emperor was not joking.
Sun Hongji couldn't help but ask, "Central War Emperor, our Imperial Medical Hall and your War Emperor Hall have always been on good terms."
"Hongji truly does not understand the reason for this action?"
The Central War Emperor's stern eyes suddenly fixed on Sun Hongji, causing him to take two steps back.
"The reason is very simple!"
"You have provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked!"
