After breakfast, Xiao Yifeng headed to the place where Kuang Shi and the others were staying.
"Young Master, you really had us worried to death yesterday,"
Kuang Shi said as soon as he saw Xiao Yifeng.
"Do you have so little faith in your Young Master? I’m not so easily troubled."
At this moment, Dahu and Erhu also quickly walked over.
After these days of training, both had become more robust, and a sharp momentum faintly emanated from them; both had already broken through to the Middle Stage of Dark Energy.
"You two have improved your strength nicely; you haven’t let me down!"
Xiao Yifeng said as he looked at the two.
"Don’t worry, Boss, we will definitely not let you down,"
Erhu said confidently.
"By the way, Boss, about my mother..."
Dahu looked at Xiao Yifeng with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Rest assured, I have already arranged everything. I’ve hired someone special to look after Auntie. She won’t be in any trouble, so you can focus on improving your strength."
"By the way, I’m going to personally buy some medicinal ingredients later and prepare a medicinal solution for you two to use; it should enhance your strength even further."
Then Xiao Yifeng came to the room where Xiu Haojie was staying; the latter was leaning on the bed, his complexion had recovered.
Xiu Haojie called out, seeing Xiao Yifeng.
"You seem to have recovered well."
"Yes, I owe it all to you. If it weren’t for you, I would have fallen into their hands by now,"
"What plans do you have next? They won’t let it go easily, not having caught you."
Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.
"For now, I can only take it one step at a time and find a place to hide first."
"Then you can stay here for the time being; they likely won’t find this place so easily,"
Xiao Yifeng said directly.
"This... wouldn’t that be inappropriate? I might bring trouble to you all!"
Xiu Haojie looked at Xiao Yifeng with some hesitation.
"Since we’ve met, it’s fate. I’m not the kind of person who’s afraid of being implicated. Just settle in here!"
Xiao Yifeng stated nonchalantly.
"Brother Xiao, thank you. I, Xiu Haojie, will surely repay this kindness a hundredfold!"
Xiu Haojie’s gaze was firm as he looked at Xiao Yifeng.
"No need for such courtesies!"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head, chatted for a while with Xiu Haojie, and then left the room.
"Young Master, won’t there be any problems with him staying here, his identity?"
Kuang Shi approached Xiao Yifeng and asked in a grave voice.
"Rest assured, my judgment of people isn’t wrong; he’s not of an evil sort. As for his identity? It’s not simple!"
After speaking these words, Xiao Yifeng left and went to the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion to buy a batch of medicinal ingredients.
"Sir, what do you need?"
As soon as Xiao Yifeng walked into the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion, a clerk from the pavilion approached.
"Where’s your steward?"
Xiao Yifeng swept his gaze around but did not see Wu Yong.
"Oh, our steward is in the back hall. Do you need to find our steward, sir?"
"No, you take this prescription and prepare the herbs for me."
Xiao Yifeng handed over a list to the other party and activated his Clairvoyant Eye, instantly enveloping the entire Heavenly Medicine Pavilion.
Soon, Xiao Yifeng saw Yun Yan’er and Steward Wu Yong discussing the Fire Spirit Ganoderma.
"Sir, your herbs are all ready!"
The shop assistant delivered a large package of herbs to Xiao Yifeng.
After paying for the herbs, Xiao Yifeng left immediately, but he did not go far, choosing instead to sit in his BMW X5.
Before long, Yun Yan’er and Wu Yong left with several men in white robes escorting them. They got into a business van and drove away, with Xiao Yifeng following behind in his car.
Xiao Yifeng was just as interested in the Fire Spirit Ganoderma; after all, it was an incredibly rare medicinal ingredient. Most importantly, if he could obtain this Fire Spirit Ganoderma,
he would then be able to refine an elixir that enhances strength, known as the Fire Spirit Pill. This pill’s effects were even more potent than those of the Tempering Pill, greatly improving one’s physical constitution and enhancing an individual’s strength.
Therefore, Xiao Yifeng was naturally very interested in the Fire Spirit Ganoderma. His Clairvoyant Eye had revealed that they were on their way to purchase it, prompting him to follow suit.
Yun Yan’er’s vehicle arrived at a small courtyard in the Tianhai suburbs. She and Wu Yong then went inside.
In the courtyard stood a group of people, led by none other than Hua Hai, the Young Master of the Hua Family from Yanjing.
"Hua Hai, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Hua Hai, Yun Yan’er frowned slightly.
"If Yan’er can be here, why can’t I?"
Hua Hai looked at Yun Yan’er with a smile playing on his lips.
"Hua Hai, please call me Yun Yan’er from now on. We’re not that familiar!"
Yun Yan’er huffed coldly.
"Yan’er, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and both our grandfathers are among China’s top three National Physicians. We’re a pair made in heaven, a perfect match. Why must you be so averse to me?"
A look of helplessness flashed in Hua Hai’s eyes as he gazed at Yun Yan’er. He had always harbored affection for her, but she had always been indifferent to him.
"Hua Hai, I already told you that I don’t like you. Don’t set your sights on me anymore."
Yun Yan’er said with pursed lips, about to walk towards the house when Hua Hai suddenly spoke up.
"Yan’er, you might as well save your efforts. The Fire Spirit Ganoderma is already in my hands."
A smile emerged on Hua Hai’s face as he patted a box held by a man next to him.
In a flash, the complexion on Yun Yan’er’s face changed, and she turned her gaze towards Wu Yong.
"Steward Wu, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that the deal was all set?"
Wu Yong was just as dumbfounded, walking towards the house. A minute later, he emerged with an ugly expression on his face.
"Miss, Young Master Hua bought the Fire Spirit Ganoderma with a price five times higher than ours," Wu Yong told Yun Yan’er.
Yun Yan’er’s fair complexion turned sour as she swept her gaze towards Hua Hai. "Hua Hai, you dare engage in such despicable, underhanded schemes."
"Yan’er, you’re wronging me. I bought the Fire Spirit Ganoderma fair and square with money. How can you say it was underhanded?"
Hua Hai looked at Yun Yan’er with a smile on his face.
For a moment, Yun Yan’er was so angered that she was at a loss for words.
"Of course, Yan’er, if you want this Fire Spirit Ganoderma, you can still have it, as long as you’re willing to give me a chance to pursue you, to become my woman, Hua Chun!"
Yun Yan’er’s expression changed, and she flatly refused.
