Chapter 411: I Must Have Been Blind to Not Have Recognized You. Please Forgive Me, Mr. Ye!
Li Ying’s pretty face changed slightly after hearing what Old Zhang said. She opened her mouth in an attempt to explain.
However, Yao Bingyue said coldly, “Oh? Who is that? I’d love to know who dares to humiliate my father.”
No matter how calm she sounded, everyone sensed the chill in her tone. Old Zhang turned around innocently as he gestured at Ye Chen. “It was that little brother. I suppose you know him, Ms. Yao.”
Many of them smirked and looked at Ye Chen. A smug look filled their eyes, including Li Zewei’s.
‘Didn’t you say that you can refine medicinal pills? Didn’t you say that the Spiritual Medicine Mountain’s sect leader is your slave? Now, the Yao Huayuan of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain’s daughter is here. The boss is here, so let’s see what you’ve got to say for yourself!’
Captain Dong frowned but said nothing eventually. To him, what Ye Chen said earlier was just ridiculous, thus it was good to teach him a lesson.
Yao Bingyue lifted her eyes to follow the people’s gaze. She was completely stunned.
If one looked closer, they would notice that her hand that was holding the walking stick was shaking. She seemed to be excited.
Old Zhang thought that Yao Bingyue was enraged upon seeing her reaction. He could not help but have a mocking smirk appear at the corner of his lips.
Yao Bingyue walked to Ye Chen with her walking stick. She was walking very quickly. To the people, she looked like she was going to teach Ye Chen a lesson.
However, in the next second, they saw her tossing her walking stick away when she arrived in front of him. She knelt before Ye Chen while shaking as she said respectfully, “Yao Bingyue greets you, Master!”
Everyone fell into silence immediately. All of their expressions froze, and they stood still as if they had turned into sculptures. However, the shock within them lingered.
What did they just witness?
Yao Bingyue, the daughter of Spiritual Medicine Mountain’s master, the one and only medicine refinement holy land in China whom many cultivators admired, had just knelt to Ye Chen. On top of that, she had called him master!
Li Ying was dumbstruck.
Li Zewei, Captain Dong, and the rest had disbelief on their faces.
When Ye Chen saw their expressions, he held his head down and looked at Yao Bingyue. “It’s chilly on the ground. Get up!”
He could feel that Yao Bingyue had changed a lot since experiencing what happened before. She was respectful of him now.
In reality, he was very secretive about killing the five experts on the world leaderboard in Hong Kong. However, the news had leaked, and the Spiritual Medicine Mountain was one of the sects that got the news. After all, the Spiritual Medicine Mountain had businesses all over the world, thus it was a piece of cake for them to learn about the news quickly.
The news stunned Yao Huayuan and Yao Bingyue.
“Thank you, Master!” Yao Bingyue thanked him as she shuddered.
Old Zhang could not believe what he was seeing. He could not help but ask, “My niece, w-what are you doing?”
‘Could the brat have been telling the truth? Is Yao Huayuan really his slave? How is that possible?!’
Yao Huayuan was not just the Spiritual Medicine Mountain master, but he was also a cultivator whose name had spread all over China. He was an Illuminating G.o.d powerhouse!
“Shut your mouth!” Yao Bingyue turned her head and glared at him.
Old Zhang’s face turned pale as he felt rather humiliated. “Niece, did this brat speak the t-truth?”
“Niece?” Yao Bingyue smirked. “Who is your niece? Old Zhang, don’t you think you can cling onto me just because they call you the grandmaster. In reality, you’re nothing to our Spiritual Medicine Mountain. Your family in Wannan is as weak as an ant to us!”
She looked at Ye Chen with respect and said while glancing at the people, “That’s right. Indeed, Mr. Ye is our Spiritual Medicine Mountain master. He has unparalleled medicine skills, as well as the ability to refine medicinal spills. Instead of making full use of such an expert, you guys brought me here. This is foolis.h.!.+”
“What?”
The people were terrified and shocked to hear that. Li Ying covered her red lips with her hand while Old Zhang retreated a couple of steps back!
If they had scorned what Ye Chen said earlier, they had to believe it now given Yao Bingyue’s behavior and words!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Old Zhang’s head. He inhaled sharply, appearing like he was wors.h.i.+pping Ye Chen like a G.o.d when he looked at him again because he suddenly recalled an expert taking the years of Yao Huayuan and his daughter’s life away earlier. He thought it was unfortunate that he had no fate of meeting the expert.
Never had he thought the expert would be standing right before him!
He walked over immediately and bowed at Ye Chen as he thought to his point. “I must’ve been blind not to have recognized you. Please forgive me, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen gave a short response. He then looked at the shocked Li Ying next to him. “My time is limited. Where’s the Dragon King? Bring me to him!”
“Oh, oh. S-sure!” Li Ying snapped back to her senses, and she led the way in a panicked manner.
She was secretly shocked. She had a rough idea of who Ye Chen was as she knew that he ranked No. 1 on the Heaven Leaderboard. However, she had no idea that he possessed medicine skills. She had hired him because of Old Chen’s recommendation. Given that n.o.body could treat the Dragon King’s injury, she had taken Old Chen’s suggestion as the last resort.
She felt hopeless in the beginning as Ye Chen did not show his medicine skills off at all. She never thought that Ye Chen would be the Spiritual Medicine Mountain master.
It seemed like the people out there had underestimated him!
She secretly inhaled sharply.
Ye Chen lifted his feet and followed her while Captain Dong and the rest stayed put. They were dumbstruck as they watched him left, feeling like a cold blanket had just been thrown on them.
…
Over ten minutes later, Ye Chen followed Li Ying into a house. The house looked no different from a hostel, but Ye Chen noticed there were many unique materials mixed in the building through his Divine Consciousness. It became an extraordinarily tough defence building from the integration.
It was so tough that if a bomber dropped a bomb from the sky, it could not do anything to the house at all. It would be untouchable even if a few Martial Dao masters were to attack it together.
The Dragon Soul certainly lived up to its name!
Ye Chen secretly nodded. The security around the house was strict. It had sentries almost every five steps, and there were also all sorts of thermal imaging cameras.
Soon, he followed Li Ying into a room. The room was facing the south while being located in the north, and it was rather bright. However, there was the stench of cow dung and herbal fragrance coming out of it.
Meanwhile, there was an ice casket placed in the middle of the room. There was an old man lying in the ice casket. He had mediocre features, and he looked like a farmer. Meanwhile, his arms were placed on his chest. With his eyes closed, he looked peaceful.
Meanwhile, there was an old bull lying next to the ice casket.
As Ye Chen and the rest entered, the old bull that was initially low-spirited stood up. It slid its hooves across the ground, glaring at Ye Chen with hostility in its eyes.
“It’s alright, Old Huang!” Li Ying comforted immediately, “Mr. Ye is here to save the Dragon King!”
She introduced after seeming to notice Ye Chen’s doubt. “Mr. Ye, this bull is named Old Huang. It’s been the Dragon King’s pet since he was young. It’s 30 years old now.”
Ye Chen was surprised. Theoretically, a bull’s lifespan was 12 to 18 years. On average, they lived until 15 under the premise that they suffered no diseases. However, the bull before him was already 30.
The almighty Dragon King of China had a pet bull!
That was interesting!
