The other three were Yun Ming, Long Yeyue, and Ya Li. The three of them stood at the very front, with Yun Ming as their leader.
"So he really came back…"
Yun Ming's gaze fell on Di Tian first. He was somewhat surprised, but more than that, happy — and even a little excited. This was a perfect opportunity to deal with him once and for all.
The deputy director of the Federal Police Department and the deputy director of the Medical Bureau both knew Yun Ming. When they saw him return, their hearts tightened in panic.
They both regretted coming here and subconsciously turned to look at Yun Ming.
Ya Li and Long Yeyue both looked at Di Tian with caution. Even though he was not releasing any aura, he still made them feel pressured.
"I already made myself very clear last time — we will not give you the pill formula," Bi Ji spoke first, breaking the silence.
Yun Ming did not speak. After a brief quiet moment, the deputy director of the Medical Bureau braced himself and said:
"Only by handing over the formula can we verify whether there is something wrong with your pills. This concerns whether you can clear your name."
"For your own sake, and for the safety of the public, you should still hand it over for inspection."
"O–Otherwise, we will classify your pills as toxic according to regulations, and you will no longer be allowed to sell them."
After being glanced at by Di Tian, his whole body turned cold, but he still forced himself to finish speaking.
The deputy director of the Police Department also gathered his courage and said:
"If you cannot prove that your pills are safe, then we will seal your shops according to federal law and ban you across the entire Federation."
"Not only will you be unable to open stores in Bright City — you won't be able to open them in any other cities either."
"I still advise you to hand over the formula to the Medical Bureau for inspection, to prove your innocence."
Yun Ze's expression did not change. Gu Yue Na and Di Tian were both cold and indifferent. Bear Lord looked like he wanted to tear them apart.
"No," Bi Ji refused decisively.
"The formula is a secret of our Dragon-Phoenix Hall. It will not be revealed."
"Handing over the formula for inspection is completely unnecessary in my view."
"Even if we gave you the formula, you wouldn't understand anything from it anyway. It would be no different from blank paper."
"If you want to inspect something, you can inspect the finished pills — that actually has meaning."
"If you think one pill is too random, then test ten, or a hundred. We can accept that."
"But asking us to hand over the formula — no. No matter how many times you come, the answer will be the same."
"We have professional physicians who can read and judge formulas. There is no such thing as 'we wouldn't understand it,'" the deputy director of the Medical Bureau explained.
"Inspecting the formula is to check the root of the problem, so we don't have to test pills one by one. That would be troublesome."
"All pills sold on the market have had their formulas inspected. The fact that yours weren't checked before was already special treatment."
"But now that an incident has occurred, we have to check it. Otherwise, we can't explain ourselves to the public."
"Those pills were refined and sold by your Medical Bureau, so of course you inspected them," Bi Ji said coldly.
"But you never inspected pills made by forces like Tang Sect either."
"What — do you think our Dragon-Phoenix Hall is easy to bully, so you're giving us special treatment?"
"And besides, you've already come here five times. I haven't seen you think it was troublesome before," Bear Lord added.
The deputy director of the Medical Bureau smiled awkwardly and forced an explanation:
"They never had incidents, so there was no need to inspect them."
"I'm not targeting you. I just want to avoid another incident."
"And testing pills one by one is time-consuming and exhausting — it also wastes your time."
"Heh. You really are good with words," Bi Ji mocked.
Then she directly threw out a final line:
"We will never hand over the formula. Don't even think about it. If you want it, you can try taking it by force."
The deputy director of the Medical Bureau did not dare reply.
"The Medical Bureau and the Federal Police are acting according to the law. You must cooperate with them," Yun Ming said coldly and forcefully.
Seeing that persuasion wouldn't work, he said this to deliberately provoke conflict.
"The hell does it have to do with you?" Bear Lord exploded.
"Are you from the Medical Bureau or the police? Who are you to say we must cooperate?"
"Some trash from Shrek dares to act arrogant here? Bah! Dragon-Phoenix Hall doesn't welcome you, you grandson. Get lost."
Bear Lord didn't give him any face at all and directly cursed and waved him away.
The police and medical officials fell silent. Ya Li and Long Yeyue's faces turned ugly.
Yun Ming's face sank, killing intent undisguised.
"You're courting death."
"He's not courting death. He's just chasing away a grandson," Di Tian said calmly.
The police deputy director said nervously:
"Lord Yun Ming was invited by us to help…"
"You still dare to speak?" Bear Lord glared at him.
The man's heart shook violently. He forced a smile but was deeply afraid.
He was only a level-92 Title Douluo — in front of an Ultimate Douluo, he truly had no temper.
"Openly opposing federal law and provoking Shrek Academy — your Dragon-Phoenix Hall is really arrogant," Yun Ming said coldly.
"Who's arrogant — you or us? Don't you know it in your heart?" Bear Lord sneered.
"If you want to fight, just say it. Don't look for excuses."
"You're a quasi-god yet you act so indecisive — like a woman."
"Yun Ming, stop pretending," Di Tian said coldly.
"If you want to kill us, or destroy Dragon-Phoenix Hall, just say it."
"You want to kill us, and we want to kill you too. Let's just go outside the city and fight to the death."
"Don't act like you're righteous while trying to make us the villains. It's disgusting."
"Then let's fight outside the city," Yun Ming said simply.
"If you don't die today, I won't be called Yun Ming."
"Good. You want to kill me? I want to kill you too," Bear Lord snarled.
"Let's see who dies. Don't run away then."
"I hope your strength is as hard as your mouth," Yun Ming said.
Then he flew west with Ya Li and Long Yeyue.
"I'll be waiting seventy li west of Bright City. Don't be too scared to come."
His voice echoed from afar.
