"Sir, this medicinal herb is extremely important to me," Yun Yiyi spoke again. "I hope you can part with it!"
"And if I say no?" Lu Fan smiled. "Are you going to rob me?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Yun Yiyi smiled. "But I will obtain this medicinal herb, no matter the means!"
"If you truly have the ability, you can try to take it," Lu Fan said abruptly. "Within Jiangnan, no one dares to speak to me like that!"
Yun Yiyi did not believe him and lunged towards Lu Fan, her movements ethereal and her body agile.
Seeing one person disappear, the bald man was stunned. Both Lu Fan and Yun Yiyi were extremely agile, unlike ordinary people.
Lu Fan held the medicinal herb as if he were in an empty realm. Even with Yun Yiyi's agility, she couldn't snatch the herb from him.
After several attempts, Yun Yiyi stopped and frowned, "Who exactly are you? How can you have such fast footwork that even I cannot catch up?"
"Just an ordinary person. I've already bought this medicinal herb. You shouldn't be chasing me!" Lu Fan stated directly. "I don't have time to play here with you, so I'll be going!"
"It's not that easy to leave. If you don't leave the medicinal herb, you won't escape my grasp!" Yun Yiyi smiled.
Lu Fan didn't take it seriously. Let alone this young girl, even a Grandmaster would be no match for him.
Watching Lu Fan leave, Yun Yiyi said nothing more and turned to walk away, her dissatisfaction evident.
Lu Fan walked along the main road with the medicinal herb in hand, not paying much attention to the farce that had just occurred.
Yun Yiyi left the herbal market and went to a pharmacy, calling out to a man inside, "Senior Brother, I was bullied outside. Why are you still here seeing patients!"
"A patient's condition is urgent!" the middle-aged man replied. "What happened to make Junior Sister Yun so upset?"
"I found a thousand-year-old herb, which should have great efficacy," Yun Yiyi said directly. "If I can obtain it, perhaps many patients can be cured."
"If that's the case, why don't you keep the herb with you?" Li Qing gave her a look. "I still have many patients here. After all, this is the third day of the free clinic, and there are still four days left to complete. I cannot leave arbitrarily!"
"I sprinkled tracking powder on him!"
Yun Yiyi stated directly, "Senior Brother, you must accompany me. At the very least, we need to snatch that medicinal herb back."
"Look at what you're saying. If you truly bought this herb, why would it be in someone else's hands?" Li Qing said irritably. "You probably want to snatch it, which is why you're acting like this!"
"Senior Brother, you are my Senior Brother!" Yun Yiyi gave him a look. "How can you say that about me? If you're not going to help, fine, but I'll tell Master about this when we get back!"
"Forget it, forget it. No matter what, I'm still your Senior Brother," Li Qing said helplessly. "Where is that person? We can discuss it properly!"
"Follow me!" Yun Yiyi quickly smiled. "If discussion were useful, would I have said so much nonsense?"
On the street, Lu Fan was about to return to Tianfu Courtyard when a man and a woman appeared in front of him. The woman was the one he had met at the herbal market.
"What a coincidence!" Yun Yiyi clasped her hands. "We meet again!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you've done something to me," Lu Fan said, dusting himself off. "Otherwise, how would you know my direction?"
"Stop the nonsense. Hand over the medicinal herb now, and I'll pay a hundred times the price!" Yun Yiyi stated directly. "If you refuse, you'll lose both the herb and your life!"
"How can I talk to you!" Li Qing glanced over, then looked at Lu Fan. "Little brother, my junior sister and I are both doctors. The medicinal herb you have is of great use to us. We hope you can kindly part with it."
"It seems you've found a helper!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Negotiations are impossible today."
"Little brother, don't misunderstand. That's not what we mean," Li Qing quickly explained.
"That's right, that's exactly what we mean," Yun Yiyi said without politeness.
"In that case, why say more!" Lu Fan flicked his sleeve. "The two of you attacking together are no match for me!"
"Arrogant, too arrogant!" Yun Yiyi looked at Li Qing. "Senior Brother, he's completely looking down on you. Even I can't stand it!"
Li Qing frowned. He was a peak martial arts master and cultivated both medicine and martial arts. He never expected Lu Fan to be so disrespectful.
"Little brother, I'll remind you one more time!" Li Qing said. "This medicinal herb is of great use to us!"
"No need to say more!" Lu Fan waved his hand, his expression indifferent. "Just fight, isn't that more direct?"
Li Qing's expression changed drastically. Lu Fan's provocation made him extremely displeased.
"Senior Brother, there's no need to hesitate. This fellow's skills are not weak, and even I might not be able to defeat him," Yun Yiyi said. "So, Senior Brother, don't be afraid and just make your move."
Li Qing stood frozen for a long time before nodding. "Since that's the case, I won't be polite."
At that moment, dozens of silver needles shot out from Li Qing's body, surrounding Lu Fan. However, to avoid harming Lu Fan, he used tranquilizer needles. If it were a life-or-death battle, they would likely be poison needles. Li Qing understood this distinction.
Looking at the silver needles flying like sharp swords, Lu Fan snorted lightly, stomped his foot on the ground, and dozens of stones flew up, instantly blocking the silver needles and destroying them.
Li Qing stood stunned, finding it incredible. In all these years, no one had ever been able to do this.
Lu Fan's ability to dodge in time showed considerable martial arts talent, but the method Lu Fan displayed was unbelievable.
Yun Yiyi stood to the side, her face embarrassed. Li Qing's silver needles had never missed before, yet in front of Lu Fan, they were insignificant, leaving them even more bewildered.
"You can control objects?"
As if remembering something, Li Qing looked at Lu Fan. He knew very well that the silver needles he used were propelled by his own strength and inertia to achieve flight. But Lu Fan, by simply stomping his foot, could control other objects, which explained everything.
Facing Li Qing's questioning, Lu Fan paid no mind and didn't even answer, simply leaving.
Li Qing wanted to ask further, but Lu Fan had already disappeared.
"A master, definitely a master!" Li Qing exclaimed. "We might have gotten ourselves into big trouble!"
