It was past 9 p.m. when Ye Chen returned home. He saw his daughter doing her homework on the table as soon as he opened the door.
Meanwhile, Ye Hai and Wu Lan were watching TV.
"Daddy!"
The little girl put down her homework immediately and pounced at Ye Chen while blushing. She opened her arms and said in her baby voice, "Daddy, give me a hug. I want a hug!"
"Sure!"
Ye Chen squatted down and caught the little girl. He then picked her up and rubbed her little face. His face was extremely gentle. "My dear daughter, did you miss me?"
"No, I didn't." The little girl stretched her arm out and giggled while touching his stubble.
Wu Lan said while smiling, "Usually, this little girl would be asleep at this time. However, she insisted on waiting for you today. She wouldn't go to sleep no matter how I coaxed her."
"Grandma, you're so naughty. I'm not talking to Grandma anymore."
Mengmeng covered her eyes with her hands and peeked at Ye Chen through the gap. "Daddy, where did you go? Why are you only back now? "
"Daddy went to work and earned money to feed our Mengmeng," Ye Chen explained patiently while holding the little girl's chubby little hand.
The little girl's eyes were filled with tears.
"Daddy, you've worked hard."
Warmth flowed through Ye Chen's heart when he heard that. He said while smiling, "Since you know that I've worked hard, why don't you kiss me?"
"Daddy, you're so naughty. Grandpa and Grandma are watching." The little girl was shy and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Ye Hai coughed and turned around with Wu Lan at the same time. They stared at the TV in all seriousness.
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. Subsequently, he was going to put her down. Never had he thought that the little girl would move her little mouth to him all of a sudden and kiss his cheek. Subsequently, she covered her eyes with her hands like a quail.
"Now, it's Daddy's turn to kiss you, right?" Ye Chen touched the spot that the little girl had kissed, feeling relieved and happy.
Now, he finally understood why most families would rather have a daughter than a son.
A daughter was really a father's sweet little jacket. She knew how to act coquettishly and comfort her father. If it were a son, he would be so mischievous that one would want to pin him to the ground, take off his pants, and beat him up.
"You wish!"
The little fellow rolled her eyes at him, then struggled out of his arms and threw herself heavily into Wu Lan's arms, acting very tsundere.
Ye Chen smiled warmly and walked into the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, he realized that Mengmeng had fallen asleep in his mother's embrace. Ye Chen took a good look at her for a while and grew fonder of her. This girl was becoming more and more like her mother.
He chatted with his parents for a while about the interview and then returned to his room.
…
The next day was Saturday. Initially, Ye Chen wanted to bring the little girl out to play. However, he received a call from Gu Shaokun. Ye Chen glanced at the little girl who was watching television and walked out of the house quietly to pick up the call. "What's up?"
"Sir, we've almost gathered all the medicinal ingredients you've asked for." Gu Shaokun respectfully went straight to the point and said, "But we're still missing one main ingredient …"
Ye Chen asked immediately, "What medicine?"
"Heavenly Spirit Flower!"
On the list of medicinal ingredients that Ye Chen gave Gu Shaokun back then, apart from the medicine to treat his wife, there were also medicinal ingredients to refine the Qi Blood Pill, the Blood Marrow Pill, and the Rebirth Pill for Mengmeng. The Heavenly Spirit Flower was the key ingredient to refine the Blood Marrow Pill, and there was no substitute.
Ye Chen was rather disappointed. Just when he was going to tell him to forget about it, he suddenly heard Gu Shaokun say carefully, "We've searched the entire Tiannan Province and finally found this in a Chinese medicine store. B-But they're not selling it!"
"Why not?" Ye Chen said with mixed feelings.
"I heard that the daughter of the owner of this Chinese medicine store has a strange disease. They've looked for famous doctors everywhere, but it's useless. Therefore, he's offering the Heavenly Spirit Flower as a reward for famous doctors to treat his daughter's illness. He even announced that he'll give the Heavenly Spirit Flower to whoever treats his daughter's illness!"
Gu Shaokun hesitated as he spoke to this point, "Sir, what do you think …"
"I can treat her!" Ye Chen smiled calmly.
He didn't know any medical skills, but he was a cultivator. For cultivators, mortals' birth, old age, sickness, and death could all be solved through spiritual energy or elixirs.
"Sure, I'll get Brother Hu to pick you up right away!"
Gu Shaokun was surprised and overjoyed. He then hung up the phone, not suspecting that Ye Chen was lying at all.
Soon, Ye Chen received a call from Ah Hu. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Chen got him to stop at the entrance of the district. He left after saying goodbye to his parents and Mengmeng.
This time, Ah Hu did not drive the Bentley that he had last time. Instead, he drove a black BMW.
Although that was the case, it still caused a commotion at the entrance of the district that was not rich. Especially the military license plate on the BMW, it shocked some of the people.
There were even a few familiar faces among the crowd. They were Liu Feng, Ye Wen, Zhao Qian, Zhou Kai, Zhang Li …
Ah Hu got out of the car as soon as he saw Ye Chen. He said respectfully, "Sir!"
He was filled with endless fear and respect for the young man before him. After all, Ye Chen had only used a surge of True Energy to knock his gun off his hand the other day.
"Let's go." Ye Chen nodded and got into his BMW directly.
As the car drove away, Zhou Kai, who was in the crowd, rubbed his eyes and said, "Did you guys notice that the person who got into the car looked a little … like Ye Chen?"
"I wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't mention it. Now that you mention it, I think he looks a little like him," Zhang Li exclaimed. Shock and doubt filled her face.
Liu Feng scoffed immediately. "How could it be him? The military license plate aside, the BMW alone costs 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Do you think that Ye is qualified to sit in it?"
"That's right. It might just be his back."
Zhao Qian had disdain written all over her face. She turned her head to look at Ye Wen next to her and said, "Wenwen, Ye Chen is your cousin. You're the most familiar with him. Tell me, is that him?"
Ye Wen watched the BMW drive away quietly. She thought to herself for a few seconds while frowning. Subsequently, she shook her head and said, "I don't think so."
Although she did not have much contact with Ye Chen's family, she learned a little about them from her mother. For example, one of Ye Chen's parents was a janitor while the other was a cleaner. There was also a child with leukemia in the family.
With such a family background, it might be a problem for them to buy a tricycle, let alone a BMW.
Liu Feng was secretly relieved to hear what she said. He pretended to be calm and said, "That's what I said. It's just a back view."
…
Ah Hu drove very fast. With the license plate, he did not encounter any traffic police along the way. Over two hours later, he successfully arrived at his destination — the Medicine Anthology Pavilion!
The three Tiannan provinces included Qiannan, Diannan, and Xiangnan.
Qiannan had dense forests and was close to the Miao tribe, so it was rich in medicinal herbs. Meanwhile, Xiangnan was rich in vegetables while Diannan was rich in fruits.
Gu Shaokun introduced the basic situation after he got into the car. The Medicine Anthology Pavilion was a century-old Chinese medicine store in Qiannan. It was famous and had a powerful background there.
Meanwhile, the owner of the Medicine Anthology Pavilion, Sun Zhaonian, was known as the Qiannan Medicine King.
Ah Hu parked his car near the Medicine Anthology Pavilion directly. Before he got out of the car, he saw all sorts of people crowding outside. They were discussing the Medicine Anthology Pavilion.
Ye Chen walked straight to the middle of the crowd after getting out of the car. He noticed two hunks guarding the entrance of the Medicine Anthology Pavilion. They were scanning the crowd in an unfriendly manner.
Meanwhile, there was a reward notice pasted on the brick wall. It was similar to what Gu Shaokun said.
The general idea was that the daughter of the Medicine Anthology Pavilion's owner was seriously ill, and they were looking for a famous doctor. The Heavenly Spirit Flower and ten million yuan in cash would be given as a reward. The most interesting thing was that if the man was single, he could even marry the owner's daughter.
A doctor wearing glasses next to Ye Chen seemed to be tempted.
A bespectacled doctor next to Ye Chen seemed to be tempted. Just when he was about to step forward to take the results, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man reminded him out of kindness, "Do you want to die? It's not that easy to take the reward notice!"
"What do you mean?" The man was confused.
"Anyone who takes the reward notice will be killed if they can't treat Ms. Sun's illness!"
The man's face turned pale. He retreated a few steps back immediately and said while gulping, "I-is it that serious?"
"It's not? Haha, you didn't see it. There were a few people who went in earlier. Some claimed to be Medical Saints, some claimed to be Medical Gods, and some were even medical experts from overseas. However, all of them were carried out with broken limbs.
"Young man, I think you're young, so I'm advising you not to get involved in this. Although ten million yuan is tempting, and although the Medicine King, Mr. Sun's daughter is beautiful, you need to be alive to enjoy it.
Let's just watch from here. "
The man looked around at the people. He got rid of the unrealistic thought in his head when he realized that everyone was watching a good show. He crossed his arms and grinned, anticipating the reckless guy who dared to take the reward notice.
At this moment, an ordinary-looking young man took two steps forward and tore down the bounty notice that was pasted on the outside.
The young man smiled calmly when he saw the two hunks guarding the entrance.
