On the other end of the phone, Shen Dahai was speaking non-stop, as if he was entrusting Shen Taoyuan to Ye Huan for a lifeti!
Ye Huan's face was as dark as Bao Qingtian, glancing suspiciously at Shen Taoyuan beside him. He felt that her "running away from ho" wasn't that simple on the surface!
Shen Taoyuan held the back of her head, raised her flushed face to gaze at the azure sky, whistling lightly, pretending not to hear Shen Dahai's words and ignoring Ye Huan's gaze.
"By the way, Xiao Ye, do you have anything you need to talk to about?" Having talked for a while, Shen Dahai drank a sip of tea and inquired about the real matter.
"Uncle Shen, didn't you say last ti when you were in Japan that the Shen Family's ancient texts recorded the 'Rakshasa' creature? I'm quite interested in that myth and want to borrow the book. Is that convenient?"
"Convenient, of course it's convenient! I'll have soone send the ancient book to you today; it should arrive no later than the day after tomorrow!"
Shen Dahai was very enthusiastic towards Ye Huan, making Shen Taoyuan, who often received Shen Dahai's scoldings, quite envious.
"Alright, let's leave it at that then. Bye for now." Ye Huan smiled, hung up the phone, and handed the phone back to Shen Taoyuan.
Shen Taoyuan put away the phone, snorting: "Is it really just out of interest that you're borrowing the ancient book? I don't think that's the case!"
She's not dumb; connecting Ye Huan's request for her to make monster skin last night, and his desire to read about the 'Rakshasa' creature, coupled with the research personnel who turned into monsters at the Celestial Paradise Club in Japan, she knew sothing serious must have happened.
anwhile, she also knew that Ye Huan was secretly confronting a mysterious organization!
"You must be careful, if you need help, feel free to ask anyti; my Disguise Technique is top-notch. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you sothing..." Shen Taoyuan said boldly, then suddenly changed the topic: "Last night, a woman nad Xiao Qingming ca to our house looking for you, wanting you as her foreign aid to join her in representing the Xiao Family in the Ancient Martial dical Technique Competition."
"Xiao Qingming? Who?" Ye Huan was slightly puzzled; he had no impression of the na.
"I think she's the woman you cured after she developed a severe ntal illness following an attack in the north district."
Xiao Qingming ca to Tingxiang Pavilion last night and continuously thanked 'Ye Huan' for saving her, saying if not for Ye Huan, she'd be a psychiatric patient because of the monster in the north district, so Shen Taoyuan roughly knew Xiao Qingming's situation.
Ye Huan frowned slightly, finally rembering he casually saved a woman in her thirties at the First People's Hospital.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a descendant of the Xiao Family, a top dicine family in the Ancient Martial Realm?
"Here's her business card; you can discuss the matter with her yourself." Shen Taoyuan handed over a business card inlaid with diamond grains around the edges, then yawned, hugged the back of her head, and hopped back to the villa.
Ye Huan wasn't particularly interested in the matter but considered a possibility.
As one of Huaxia's top five ancient martial dicine families, with a thousand-year legacy, the Xiao Family may possess rare dicinal materials from a three-thousand-year cold?
Or perhaps, through their family connections, he could find a three-thousand-year cold dicinal material?
Connections among Huaxia's ancient martial dicine families are exceptionally strong without exception.
The stronger the dicine family, the more formidable their connections and background!
No matter how strong a warrior is, they can't predict whether they'll suffer severe injuries or be left on the brink of death in the future!
At such tis, only the dicine family can save them!
The stronger the warrior, the more they cherish life!
Thus, strong n and capable people in the Ancient Martial Realm are eager to maintain good relations with dicine families, as it's a powerful guarantee for their life.
Among these, the Xiao Family, an exemplary dicine family, certainly controls a great many connections.
They might know a force or individual possessing the three-thousand-year cold dicinal material.
Thinking this, Ye Huan dialed the number on the business card to arrange a eting with Xiao Qingming!
...
"Miss Xiao, by my estimation, you've recovered well and haven't suffered any aftermath."
In the Capital City, city center, at Star Dew Café.
Ye Huan glanced at the woman who had just sat down, dressed in a blue sports outfit with charming appearance, excellent temperant, and long hair reaching her waist. He sipped his coffee and spoke.
Xiao Qingming's face was full of joy as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and thanked, "Young Master Ye, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't saved , my latter half of life would surely be spent on a psychiatric hospital's bed."
Speaking so, she showed a fearful expression: "Young Master Ye, do you know what that headless monster that attacked was?"
Though she had cald down for a long ti, every ti she recalled that night's experience, she couldn't stop trembling, feeling spooked and fearful.
Ye Huan sighed and said, "Just take it as a nightmare and don't think too much."
Xiao Qingming understood that so matters were beyond her qualification to touch and nodded obediently: "After my recovery, I've treated that night's ordeal as a nightmare and rarely recalled it."
"Alright, let's get to the point."
"Young Master Ye, since you texted to et here, have you decided to help ?"
"If that's the case, I'm willing to pay any price and agree to any condition you have!"
Xiao Qingming looked excited, paused, bit her lip, and said, "Even if you want to make excessive requests between n and won, I can agree!"
"Sorry, I have no interest in your body."
Ye Huan shrugged nonchalantly, instantly causing Xiao Qingming to feel awkward.
Xiao Qingming, beyond awkwardness, felt a slight sense of defeat, thinking, though she is a recognized beauty in the Ancient Martial Realm, compared to Ye Huan's wives, her looks are indeed not superior.
People comparing to others can be infuriating.
"Young Master Ye, what are you interested in then? You certainly aren't just inviting for a coffee, right?" Xiao Qingming blinked and asked.
"Let's not rush into that. First, can you introduce why you want as your foreign aid to represent the Xiao Family in the Ancient Martial dical Technique Competition?" Ye Huan blew the hot steam off his coffee cup and asked.
"Oh, didn't I tell you last night?"
"I must apologize for that; the 'Ye Huan' at Tingxiang Pavilion last night was my substitute, not ."
Ye Huan's words made Xiao Qingming stunned for a mont before she realized.
No wonder "Ye Huan" kept saying he needed to consider; it turns out he was a substitute and couldn't decide!
Thinking this, Xiao Qingming rekindled her fighting spirit; no matter what, she must persuade Ye Huan today to request his aid!
She took a sip of coffee, her face turned solemn, before beginning to explain the problems currently faced by the Xiao Family!
