"Just like you, they're from the Ancient Martial Realm."
"People from the Ancient Martial Realm?" Ye Tianfan couldn't help but furrow his brow. The dicinal herb Lingxi Poria is extrely rare, and those who know its na are even fewer. Even in the Ancient Martial Realm, fewer than twenty people would have heard of Lingxi Poria.
Most importantly, although Lingxi Poria is extrely rare, its dicinal efficacy is quite ordinary. It's not so kind of Immortal Herb that can bring the dead back to life. Its greatest function is to cure the heart-piercing poison, but beyond that, it doesn't have any significant use.
And now, soone actually wanted to take Lingxi Poria ahead of ti. What exactly is this person's intention?
Ye Tianfan pursued further questions with the old man, but the old man just shook his head continuously, not knowing the person's identity.
"You don't even know who the other person is, and you just handed over the Lingxi Poria?" Ye Tianfan raised an eyebrow, clearly disbelieving the old man.
The old man chuckled and said, "First, Lingxi Poria is of no use in my hands. Second, the terms offered by that person were very tempting. Third, I'm not curious about his identity. After all, curious people who ddle in affairs don't tend to live long."
Ye Tianfan couldn't refute the old man's reasoning. He was right; although Lingxi Poria is a rare herb of a thousand years, its efficacy is not strong. It is indeed useless in the old man's hands. Besides, soone as cunning as this old fox, who has survived until now under the threat of a death sentence, naturally has his survival thods.
"Then I'm sorry to have disturbed you." Ye Tianfan cupped his hands, preparing to turn and leave. Since Lingxi Poria was no longer in his possession and he was unwilling to say more, Ye Tianfan could only choose to leave.
"Wait a mont."
Just as Ye Tianfan was about to turn around and leave, the old man called out to him, saying, "Aren't you curious about the terms that person offered ?"
Ye Tianfan shook his head, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with ."
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Ye Tianfan and said, "It seems we're both alike, neither of us curious."
Ye Tianfan chuckled indifferently, "It's different. You lack curiosity because you're afraid of dying, while I'm afraid of trouble."
"Since you're here, eting you is fate, I would like to ask for your help." After hesitating for a mont, the old man still spoke up.
"Sorry, I don't have ti for that."
Ye Tianfan didn't even consider it, directly refusing the old man, his figure disappearing outside the villa.
This ti, Ye Tianfan's purpose was clear, which was to obtain the Lingxi Poria. Now that he hadn't gotten the Lingxi Poria, he didn't want to stir up any more troubleso matters.
This old fellow had managed to protect himself wisely in prison and escape the death penalty, and naturally, he must have extraordinary ans. His request for help would surely be no good deed, potentially dragging out a whole slew of trouble.
Ye Tianfan left, but the old man picked up the red wine next to him again, standing outside the villa door, looking in the direction where Ye Tianfan had disappeared, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be back."
The old man murmured this sentence, his expression full of confidence, as he raised his hand to close the villa door.
After leaving the prison, Ye Tianfan returned to the villa, still worried about Qin Ruong. Having been with her for so long, Qin Ruong had always been the high-spirited daughter of a wealthy family. But this ti, Elder Qin being taken away hit her too hard. It wouldn't do for her to continue staying holed up in her room like this.
"Is Ruo ng still in her room?"
Ye Tianfan stopped a servant to ask.
"The young miss has gone out."
"Gone out?"
Surprise filled Ye Tianfan's eyes. Two hours ago, when he left, Qin Ruong was still locked in her room, sobbing softly. How had she gone out so soon?
"Where did she go?"
The servant shook his head, "I don't know, but it seems a gentleman ca to see the young miss, and afterward, she went out with him."
A gentleman?
A man?
Ye Tianfan suddenly felt disoriented, his head feeling slightly radiant.
In the dead of night, Qin Ruong actually went out with a man?
"Do you know that man?"
The servant shook his head, "I don't know him."
What the heck?
He's even a stranger?
Ye Tianfan imdiately took out his phone and dialed Qin Ruong's number.
"Hey, where did you go?"
Qin Ruong's voice ca through, "At Finis Western Restaurant."
Ye Tianfan's expression changed imdiately. Finis Western Restaurant is a 24-hour western restaurant, known as a date spot, a paradise for couples in love. Almost every month, soone proposes at this restaurant.
In the dead of night, Qin Ruong went to Finis Western Restaurant with a strange man. No matter how you think about it, sothing feels off.
Ye Tianfan wanted to remind Qin Ruong that she was already a married woman, but he swallowed the words before they left his mouth. Ye Tianfan trusted Qin Ruong, she would never do sothing reckless with so random man.
"Wait for , I'm on my way."
"Mm."
Qin Ruong replied, offering no explanation, and directly hung up the phone.
Having just returned to the villa, Ye Tianfan turned and left again, heading straight for Finis Western Restaurant. But when he arrived at the place, he discovered Qin Ruong sitting alone by the window, while the chair opposite her was empty.
"I heard you ca with a man?" Ye Tianfan approached Qin Ruong's side, bluntly asking.
Qin Ruong nodded, not denying it, and directly pointed to the north side of the western restaurant.
There, a handso man was sitting in front of a piano, fingers long, eyes slightly closed, passionately playing a wedding march.
"Your friend?"
Qin Ruong shook her head, then nodded, saying, "Kind of."
What do you an 'kind of'?
It either is or isn't!
Qin Ruong's 'kind of' left things up in the air, what was she implying?
"He's Leng Xingfeng, the executive president of the Leng Group in Dongzhou City, he used to pursue , and now..."
Ye Tianfan raised an eyebrow, saying, "Seems he hasn't given up..."
"Mm."
Qin Ruong nodded, surprisingly admitting it outright.
"What? You two ca here so late, is there sothing going on?" Ye Tianfan sat across from Qin Ruong without reservation, saying, "Looking to rekindle an old fla?"
Qin Ruong's face turned abruptly angry, "What are you talking about?"
"Then you two..."
"Discussing business!"
Ye Tianfan let out an 'oh', looking toward Leng Xingfeng.
No matter the angle, Ye Tianfan couldn't shake the impression of a pretty boy from him, an aura that was unstoppable, emanating from the inside out.
Yet what puzzled Ye Tianfan the most was Qin Ruong herself. Just monts ago, her emotions were down, yet in the blink of an eye, she was dining with Leng Xingfeng at a western restaurant.
This change was just too abrupt.
