"Xin'Er, just put your mind at ease." Li Chuan chuckled as he reassured, "Even if the Black Dragon Sect decides to make trouble, they'll co after first. So while I'm not in Jiangzhou City, it'll throw them off! Besides, with the force we have now—one hundred and eight generals—and in a few days, eighteen more masters finishing their training, that power is enough to intimidate most factions!"
"As for Taohua Village, I've found that ever since I went there, my cultivation speed has skyrocketed like a rocket. That place is truly a Feng Shui treasure!"
Yang Xin'Er snorted coldly, "I think it's because the village girls there are lush and refreshing! Just look at you!"
Li Chuan: "Alright, alright! You always bring that up... Look, arrange an SUV to get to Taohua Village. I'll send you the address now."
"Alright, send the address."
...
Just as Li Chuan got into the car Yang Xin'Er had sent and was getting on the highway, she called again: "Fang Daoshen has put a bounty out to hire the experts on the Black List to kill you!"
Li Chuan was montarily stunned, then laughed, "Would anyone really take a job to kill ?"
Yang Xin'Er: "The Black List is full of hidden talents, it's normal for so capable but low-key experts to be there. Moreover, Fang Daochang has offered a five hundred million bounty, soone will definitely take the job, maybe they've already started moving."
Li Chuan couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Five hundred million? Fang Daochang is really insulting ! I have more than five hundred million just in my bank account, and he's using five hundred million to sha ?"
Yang Xin'Er: "..."
Dude, that's not the point!
"Alright, I get it." Li Chuan said, "You don't have to worry so much. If soone actually cos to kill , it'd be like courting death."
Li Chuan had just gotten out of the car when he was taken aback by the scene before him.
Previously, Taohua Village was very quiet, but this ti back, he noticed many workers had arrived, with many engineering vehicles parked by the roadside. A group of helted people were already surveying by the river, seemingly discussing how to build a bridge.
This made Li Chuan sigh with emotion.
It's really all about having money!
Without money, who would care about this poor mountain village? Back in the day, being able to make a concrete road leading to town was an enormous blessing.
But with this, Li Chuan could at least let go of a worry, as Zhou Ruolan had ntioned this several tis.
Li Chuan humd a tune all the way back to the village committee's courtyard.
The courtyard was quite peaceful, Zhou Ruolan presumably had gone to school, as it also needed rebuilding.
Seeing that no one was in the courtyard, he simply turned and walked out, heading to Chen Sisi's dicinal field.
Her fields of Yuan Hu and Pseudostellaria had already been harvested, and she was currently gleaning in the fields.
Upon seeing Li Chuan, a touch of resentnt flashed in Chen Sisi's eyes: "Have you forgotten , you rascal? You haven't co looking for for so many days!"
Li Chuan chuckled, "No such thing, I just went back once, and the mont I ca back, I ca to see you."
Saying this, he winked at Chen Sisi.
That simple glance was enough to make Chen Sisi lose control of her longing for Li Chuan and she pounced on him!
Soon, the small grove by the dicinal field was filled with the lody of spring.
Approaching sunset, Li Chuan walked leisurely towards the village committee with a fish and half a wild rabbit that Chen Sisi had given him.
Originally, Chen Sisi wanted to cook personally, but after an intense encounter with Li Chuan, her body felt like it had fallen apart, leaving her with no energy. In the end, she handed Li Chuan so fresh hunted ingredients before collapsing into a heavy sleep!
Li Chuan had no choice but to take the ingredients back to the village committee to cook them himself.
Before he even reached the village committee's gate, Li Chuan saw two rcedes G-Class parked at the entrance. Judging by the plates, they were coming from the provincial capital.
Just from the four 7's and four 5's on the plates, Li Chuan could tell that the car owners were unlikely small nas.
He didn't have friends in the provincial capital, only enemies, so these car owners weren't likely looking for him.
If they weren't looking for him, then they must be looking for Zhou Ruolan.
Curious, Li Chuan quickened his pace a little.
Upon entering the yard, he saw a young man in a pink suit with pointed leather shoes sitting at the table in the yard, chatting eagerly with Zhou Ruolan.
But as for Zhou Ruolan, her face clearly showed disdain.
Behind the young man stood two elderly n dressed in martial arts jackets and four black-clad bodyguards.
Seeing Li Chuan approaching, the young man slowly stood up, looking Li Chuan up and down, then smiled, "So you are Li Chuan, the designated resident point person for Taohua Village from the Jiangzhou College of Traditional Chinese dicine?"
"Yes." Li Chuan nodded, the other party's deanor was towering and condescending.
"I am Han De from the provincial capital's Han Family, the heir of the Han Family." Han De revealed a smug expression when ntioning the Han Family.
Li Chuan: "Oh."
"..."
Seeing Li Chuan's calm deanor, Han De was sowhat displeased.
What's the big idea?
He's from the prestigious Han Family in the provincial capital, yet this bumpkin didn't show any fright, fear, or anxiety upon hearing his na?
How could he be so calm?
Anyway, Han De found Li Chuan's reaction very unsatisfying!
But on second thought, maybe the other party was really just a bumpkin who hadn't heard of the Han Family. If that were the case, he could be forgiven.
Li Chuan ignored Han De's failed attempt to flaunt himself and looked at Zhou Ruolan, "Teacher Zhou, I brought so wild ga back, should I prepare dinner for the two of us, or what?"
Li Chuan had previously agreed with Zhou Ruolan when he treated her to breakfast that if they were to eat together later, Li Chuan would cook, and Zhou Ruolan would handle the post-al tasks.
After all, Li Chuan was genuinely too lazy to wash dishes; he only enjoyed the process of creating delicious food.
Before Zhou Ruolan could speak, Han De loudly declared, "What kind of question is that? Can't you see we're here too? Of course, you have to prepare our dinner! Ruolan and I have been close friends since childhood, great friends! Childhood sweethearts!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ruolan showed an expression of contempt and said to Li Chuan, "Cook a bit more, let him eat and leave quickly!"
Li Chuan nodded, "These fish and rabbit taste best with chili, Brother Han, can you handle spice?"
Zhou Ruolan loved spicy food, and he knew that, so he specifically asked Han De.
"Spicy? That's nothing! They call the Spicy King in the provincial capital!" Han De felt insulted by Li Chuan's skeptical gaze.
"Oh, alright then."
Li Chuan nodded and turned to head for the kitchen.
Soon, the dishes were served at the table.
Spicy rabbit, spicy boiled fish, spicy bok choy, spicy chives, and spicy eggs!
Seeing the dishes in front of him, Han De's face turned dark!
