138: Chapter 138: Impersonation!
Before long, the attendees of the Treasure Appraisal Convention gradually dispersed.
Ling Feng refused the invitations from Ouyang Rui and others from the Ouyang Family, planning to return to the Wenxian Sect overnight.
After a brief exchange of courtesies, Ling Feng bid farewell to the mbers of the Ouyang Family.
To his surprise, Ouyang Rui even presented him with a “Treasure Token” from the Treasure Pavilion.
This Treasure Token was indeed a valuable item.
The Treasure Pavilion was not limited to just one in Hanwu County; it was scattered throughout the entire Sky White Empire, and even in the Four Great Empires of the Eastern Spirit Domain.
As long as one held the Treasure Token, they could enjoy an eighty percent discount at any branch of the Treasure Pavilion within the Eastern Spirit Domain.
The Ouyang Family in Hanwu County was rely a small branch under the Treasure Pavilion.
And those who held the Treasure Token were esteed guests of the Treasure Pavilion.
Ling Feng did not decline; his own wealth was not abundant.
As the saying goes, the poor pursue literature and the rich pursue martial arts.
If one wants to surge ahead on the path of Martial Arts, there are too many expenses.
This Treasure Token could save him a considerable amount of money.
Ouyang Jing accompanied Ling Feng as he left, all the way to the great entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.
“That’s enough, no need to see off any further.”
Ling Feng gently patted Ouyang Jing’s shoulder, inwardly knowing that he had not helped him out of true sincerity.
However, obviously, Ouyang Jing truly considered him an esteed elder brother.
“Brother, may we et again!” Ouyang Jing gave Ling Feng a deep bow, as Ling Feng’s actions that night had almost changed his destiny, and he was naturally filled with imnse gratitude.
“May we et again.” Ling Feng smiled slightly and then turned to Lin Xian’er, who had been following by his side, and asked indifferently, “Miss Lin, where do you plan to go next?”
“I…” Lin Xian’er pursed her lips, “I plan to rest in Hanwu County tonight, and return to the Heavenly Position Academy early tomorrow morning.
What about you, Brother Lin?”
“Returning to the sect!”
“Then…” Lin Xian’er bit her lip, her eyes fixed on Ling Feng, “Let escort you out of the city.”
Ling Feng was taken aback and looked at Lin Xian’er curiously, wondering if Lin Xian’er also had feelings for him…
As he was unsure how to respond, suddenly a particularly arrogant voice ca from a distance, “A pair of lovebirds, how cozy!”
This voice was full of sarcasm and revulsion that one didn’t even need to look back to know it belonged to Jia Lang.
At that mont, Jia Lang was followed by several guards in black armor, and by his side were several middle-aged n with powerful auras and piercing gazes, indicating their extraordinary abilities.
“Jia Lang!” Lin Xian’er frowned, gritting her teeth, “Don’t sling mud!”
“Hmph!
Lin Xian’er, I thought you were so pure and holy maiden, but it turns out you’re nothing but a spoiled woman who’s been played with!”
The vulgar and obscene words spewing from Jia Lang’s mouth were utterly repulsive, and Lin Xian’er, who had never heard such vulgarities, was imdiately trembling with anger.
“Young Master Jia, what is the aning of this!”
Ouyang Jing, who was about to leave, suddenly saw Jia Lang approaching with a group of guards from the City Lord Mansion and elders from the Jia Family, all with unfriendly expressions.
He imdiately stepped forward, speaking in a stern voice, “This is still the Treasure Pavilion’s place, Young Master Jia, don’t be too arrogant!”
“Who the hell do you think you are?
Get lost!” Jia Lang glared at Ling Feng with a sneer, “Guards, heed my command—seize that impostor who claims to be a Divine Country Imperial Physician and cripple his Energy Sea first!”
“What?”
Upon hearing these words, the guests who were preparing to leave the event were startled one after the other.
“Impersonating a Divine Country Imperial Doctor?”
“Impossible, who would have the audacity to impersonate a Divine Country Imperial Doctor!”
“It can’t be, could Ling Feng actually be an imposter?”
Both Ouyang Jing and Lin Xian’er felt their hearts surge with shock and tumult.
A Divine Country Imperial Doctor, though not an official position, was still a title granted by the Imperial Family after a comprehensive selection process, allowing one to receive the Divine Country Imperial Doctor Token.
Moreover, each newly selected Divine Country Imperial Doctor would be formally registered and their nas announced to all the commanderies, spreading the word throughout the Four Seas.
Returning ho, Jia Lang was initially dejected, unsure of how to deal with Ling Feng, but when he ntioned the matter to a trusted old butler, the butler imdiately spotted a flaw.
Indeed, on the docunt issued by the Empire this year, there were several new Divine Country Imperial Doctors added, but the youngest among them was nad Sun Siyi!
And Ling Feng was clearly younger than Sun Siyi, and moreover, there was no ntion of a Ling Feng in the docunt.
Hence, the old butler boldly speculated that Ling Feng’s Divine Country Imperial Doctor Token must be a forgery!
Impersonating a Divine Country Imperial Doctor was a serious cri, warranting the mobilization of the commandery’s garrison for a strong suppression.
Thus, this scene unfolded.
Naturally, they did not know that Han Xiao’s Divine Country Imperial Doctor Token, was personally made for Ling Feng by the Cangqiong Sect Master and carried the sa authority.
Ling Feng’s na was also registered, it’s just that the information had not yet been distributed to the various commanderies.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Ouyang Jing stood by Ling Feng’s side, gritting his teeth and saying, “Where is your proof that my older brother is falsely claiming to be a Divine Country Imperial Doctor!”
“Exactly, without evidence you can’t just slander people!”
There were also people in the crowd who had a strong impression of Ling Feng; at the Treasure Appraisal eting, he had won everyone’s respect with his appraising skills—even Mr.
Lio Xudong from the Treasure Appraisal Guild praised Ling Feng endlessly.
How could he possibly be impersonating a Divine Country Imperial Doctor?
Lio Xudong, who was originally about to leave in his carriage, saw Ling Feng being encircled and imdiately jumped down, shouting loudly, “I absolutely trust the character of young friend Ling Feng!”
The crowd of onlookers grew bigger, and the elders from the Treasure Pavilion also rushed out.
After understanding the situation, Ouyang Rui stepped forward with a chuckle, “Young Master Jia, there must be so misunderstanding here.”
“Humph, I knew you wouldn’t believe it, but so people have the audacity to commit such acts of contempt for the Empire’s laws!”
Jia Lang smugly took out a bamboo scroll from his bosom, slowly unrolled it, and laughed loudly, “This year, the newly added Divine Country Imperial Doctors are only three, and the youngest among them is nad Sun Siyi.
The other two are both well over fifty!
Among the three, there is definitely no one nad Ling Feng!”
After saying that, he tossed the bamboo scroll to the ground with a sneer, “If anyone doubts, you can take a closer look and see if there is a Divine Country Imperial Doctor nad Ling Feng listed there!”
As his voice faded, the surrounding area erupted into uproar.
There was no need to check; Jia Lang’s attitude alone made it certain that Ling Feng’s na was definitely not on the bamboo scroll.
Does that an Ling Feng was truly impersonating a Divine Country Imperial Doctor?
This was a capital offense!
