The Divine Urban Physician

Not long after, Ye Chen arrived at the city gate and submitted his information. After a brief inspection, the city guards allowed Ye Chen to enter.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with realization. It seemed that Bai Shan did not engage in any deceit. Otherwise, he would not have been permitted to enter the city.

Upon entering Heavenly Capital City, Ye Chen proceeded toward a restaurant named the Heavenly Wind. According to the information provided by Ge Qing, the Heavenly Wind Restaurant was a relatively good establishment, though not overly extravagant, within Heavenly Capital City.

Such a restaurant was the most suitable place for gathering information.

Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the restaurant and chose a slightly more expensive private room.

A waiter approached Ye Chen with a smile. ”Sir, may I know what you need?” he inquired.

”Bring me a serving of all of the best dishes in your establishment along with a jug of fine wine,” Ye Chen replied casually.

The waiter’s eyes brightened at this request, and the smile on his face widened. A wealthy patron like Ye Chen certainly deserved special treatment.

”Very well,” he responded respectfully. ”Please wait a moment. I will have the dishes served to you right away!”

After saying this, he turned and walked toward the kitchen.

”Wait a moment.” At that instant, Ye Chen suddenly called out to him.

The waiter turned around, looking at Ye Chen in confusion.

At the same time, he assessed Ye Chen. Given his injuries, he did not appear to be a member of a wealthy family. Could it be that he had ordered too many dishes merely to put on an act and was now regretting it?

Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand and tossed a small bag into the waiter’s hand. He smiled and said, ”This is my tip for you.”

The waiter accepted the bag and was momentarily stunned. Then, disbelief washed over his face. He scanned the bag with his spiritual sense and found that it contained a substantial amount of wealth.

Initially ecstatic, he quickly composed himself. No matter how affluent this young master was, he would not likely throw money around indiscriminately, right?

With this thought, he regarded Ye Chen with a hint of fear.

Ye Chen noted the waiter’s expression and smiled. ”You need not worry. It is merely my first time in Heavenly Capital City. I wish to ask you a question.”

The waiter felt relieved upon hearing this. If Ye Chen had offered such a generous tip for no reason, he would not have dared to accept it. Since Ye Chen sought information, it was considerably simpler.

Immediately, the waiter leaned in with a smug smile. ”Young Master, you have approached the right person. If you have any inquiries, feel free to ask. I do not mean to boast, but although my cultivation level is low, nothing in the city escapes my notice!”

Ye Chen chuckled. ”That is wonderful. I would like to ask you if a foreign cultivator, who covered his face, had an argument with anyone in your city?”

Upon hearing this, the waiter contemplated for a moment before his eyes brightened.

However, the waiter’s expression quickly darkened. After a moment of silence, he responded hesitantly, ”Young Master, if you were to ask others about this matter, they might not know, but I am quite familiar with it. This is because it occurred in our establishment!”

”Oh?” Ye Chen felt a wave of delight. He observed the waiter’s expression and understood that the waiter had some reservations. This, too, indicated that he indeed possessed valuable information.

Ye Chen smiled, maintaining a calm demeanor. ”If you have any reservations, I will not press you. However, I assure you that if you provide me with anything useful, I will not treat you unfairly.”

”As far as I know, the cultivator you are inquiring about is not from the Southern Region!” The waiter took a moment to gather his courage before deciding to speak.

Ye Chen’s eyes brightened. He raised his hand and tossed out another bag. ”Continue!”

The waiter accepted the bag, his joy evident. He assessed Ye Chen and grinned.

”You are not from the Southern Region, are you? The boss instructed me not to share this matter widely, but your generosity compels me to speak...”

”The person you seek appears to be from the border between the Western Region and another region. You are aware that our Southern Region is relatively isolated and does not maintain friendly relations with people from other regions. That day, he came to our restaurant to dine and happened to be spotted by a distinguished guest of our city. Originally, given that person’s status, he should not have chosen our restaurant to eat...”

The waiter’s words flowed freely, and just as he was about to continue, a cold voice interrupted the conversation.

”Which fool is inquiring about that worthless individual? Waiter, did your boss not instruct you to keep this matter confidential?”

Upon hearing the scolding, the waiter turned his head in horror.

Although he had been whispering in Ye Chen’s ear, how could he escape the keen senses of cultivators?

At first, no one had not paid much attention to conversation. After all, who would be so interested in a waiter conversing with a customer? However, he had not anticipated that this man would actually observe the scene and even overhear the content of their conversation...

Ye Chen frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

He noticed a young man with well-defined features, though his face appeared pale and his footsteps wobbly, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He wore an extravagant black robe made of heavenly silk and was accompanied by a slightly hunched old man.

Ye Chen briefly glanced at the young man before shifting his gaze to the old man, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Though the young man exuded an aura of coldness and dominance, suggesting he was a powerful expert, his actual cultivation level was not particularly high.

In fact, he was the type who relied heavily on medicinal pills. Although such people possessed a certain cultivation level, their combat abilities were often lacking.

Ye Chen had never been particularly interested in such individuals.

Even if they hailed from prestigious families, they needed to possess true capabilities, like Ji Xuan and Xing Zitang.

As for the old man accompanying the nobleman, he was rather intriguing.

This individual employed a peculiar method to conceal his true cultivation level, making him appear as an elderly man who had reached the peak of the Star Aperture realm.

Although this disguise was clever, in the presence of Ye Chen’s formidable spiritual sense, such minor tricks were inconsequential.

With a single glance, Ye Chen discerned the truth.

This old man’s actual cultivation level had reached the Sealed Gate realm.

Even though Ye Chen’s current strength had already surpassed the early stage of the Sealed Gate realm, having such a strong expert at his side indicated that the force backing this young man was certainly not weak.

The Southern Region was truly a land filled with hidden talents and formidable individuals.
