Chi Mei's Big Deal
Chi Mei's sudden appearance startled everyone in the room.
What they were discussing right now could be said to be confidential information, so they had set up restrictions around the room.
However, even under such circumstances, Chi Mei still appeared in their room without anyone noticing.
They couldn't help but wonder how she'd managed to get here.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Last time, Chi Mei had snuck up to the sixth floor right under Jiao Qi's nose. Meng Huairong and Ye Zichen hadn't noticed her either.
It wasn't until she'd kicked the door open that they noticed.
Ye Zichen sat in his chair and frowned. Chi Mei was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Jiao Qi had been in a defensive stance, but when he saw that it was Chi Mei, he relaxed. He glanced at her a few times, but said nothing.
He really didn't know how to address her.
"It seems I came at a bad time?"
After entering the room, Chi Mei sensed the atmosphere and stuck out her tongue. Although she said that, she didn't try to avoid suspicion. She sat across from Ye Zichen, picked up a fruit, and took a bite out of it.
Before entering the room, Chi Mei had said that they'd been surrounded, but Jiao Qi had his yao awareness spread out and hadn't sensed anything out of the ordinary.
He wasn't sure if she was telling the truth, so he cupped his fists at Ye Zichen.
"Master, I'll go take a look."
Ye Zichen nodded at Jiao Qi, then turned to Meng Huairong.
"Huairong, you go take a look as well."
"Understood."
The two ninth-stage earth supremes left the room. Ye Zichen's gaze landed on Chi Mei, and he said disdainfully, "You really think of this place as your own.
Do you really think of this place as your own home? "
Ye Zichen sighed helplessly at Chi Mei, then poured himself a cup of immortal brew.
"Didn't you leave a few days ago? Why'd you come back?"
"What? A beauty like me coming to look for you is the result of eight lifetimes of good fortune. Look at you, and you're still so upset? " Chi Mei bit into her fruit and pouted. "You've caused such a ruckus lately, selling Sea Condensing Pills like you're dying. Don't you know how many families have their eyes on you? I'm worried about your safety, so I came back to protect you. "
"Are you sure?"
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows in disbelief as he sipped the wine.
"I think you're the same as those other families. You've also targeted me."
Chi Mei's face instantly reddened. In truth, part of the reason she'd come here was because she'd been eyeing Ye Zichen's wealth.
Eighty percent of the Lower Lands' resources were in Ye Zichen's hands. Who wouldn't be tempted?
However, she was different from those clans. Those clans wanted to keep the wealth for themselves, but she wasn't one of them …
She could lower herself to be Ye Zichen's wife!
Licking her lips, Chi Mei squinted her eyes and smiled like a little fox, not saying anything. Ye Zichen knew that he had guessed correctly when he saw her shyness.
"Don't stare at me. Hurry up and go back to your brother to split the family property. Right now, he's definitely richer than me. Besides, you also know that I have a gang to maintain. I've already prepared to give all the resources I get from selling Sea Condensing Pills to the gang. "
"Who's eyeing your little toy?"
When Ye Zichen mercilessly exposed her, Chi Mei glared at him in embarrassment and anger.
She really didn't understand. In terms of looks, she was a beauty that could topple cities and kingdoms. Countless men stared at her, but why didn't Ye Zichen even look her in the eye?
Chi Mei felt that her charm had been greatly insulted!
Chi Mei took a bite of the immortal fruit and said angrily, "I'm here for something serious."
Ye Zichen immediately put on a look of disbelief. How could she be looking for me for something serious?
"Tell me about it."
Ye Zichen gestured for her to continue. Seeing his expression, Chi Mei felt like cursing him to pieces in her heart, but she still gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Recently, people from the Divine Mountains have come down. You should know, right?"
People from the Divine Mountains had definitely come. Recently, the Lower Lands were in an uproar over the sale of Sea Condensing Pills. There were quite a few spies from the Lower Lands. When faced with such a juicy piece of meat, it wasn't surprising that the Divine Mountains had sent people down.
His spies had noticed quite a few people acting strangely. If he was right, they were most likely here for him.
Chi Mei nodded noncommittally, then continued, "Some of them are here for you.
"Some of these people are here for you. I'm sure you're well aware of that. Any clan would be envious of the resources they obtained from selling Sea Condensing Pills. But that's not why I'm here. Although you're a bit greedy, you're no fool. I trust that since you dared to do this, you naturally have a backup plan. There's no way you're just sitting there waiting to be slaughtered! "
Ye Zichen never would have guessed that Chi Mei would give him such a high evaluation. He straightened up in surprise, then cupped his fists.
"I'm truly moved beyond words to receive your praise, Miss Chi Mei."
"Don't be so glib-tongued with me. It's irritating." Chi Mei waved Ye Zichen away in exasperation. Suddenly, a mysterious expression appeared on her face. She glanced around, lowered her voice, and said, "I came looking for you because I have a big deal to discuss with you."
"A big deal?" asked Ye Zichen suspiciously.
"Hey, I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Gao Family is actually the Xiao Family's overseer of lightning. Every fifty years, the Xiao Family comes to the Gao Family for resources. Just a few days ago, they sent people down again. "Chi Mei squinted her eyes and laughed.
"Hmph, it seems you intentionally lured that Gao Family silkpants to my place!" Ye Zichen laughed calmly.
"Don't say that," said Chi Mei angrily. Chi Mei pouted angrily and said, "I was indeed molested by that brat, but that's not important. What's important is that the Gao Family's money-grubbing methods are formidable. Although you've recently become rich by dumping Sea Condensing Pills, you're still lacking compared to the Gao Family's years of painstaking effort. "
"What do you mean?"
In truth, Ye Zichen had already guessed most of it, but he still wasn't sure, so he asked deliberately.
"I know where they're doing business, and I know the route the Gao Family took to get there."
Chi Mei's eyes were filled with faint excitement. She licked her lips with her pink tongue as she spoke.
