Wang Ruolan even felt her breathing had stopped.
She suddenly felt that the Second Brother in front of her was so unfamiliar.
Not only could she not see through him at all, but he also seemed like a demon who could see through her completely.
Just a moment of eye contact and Wang Ruolan’s back was already covered in cold sweat. "You, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Take this and give it to that guy named Ye Guichen." Wang Renfeng handed a small bottle to Wang Ruolan.
The bottle was only the size of a thumb and looked ordinary.
Wang Ruolan, unable to move her body, did not reach out to take it, but instinctively asked.
In her mind, Wang Renfeng surely had no good intentions, and the contents of the bottle were certainly not anything good.
Wang Renfeng straightened up, an evil smile on his lips. "Because he is in my way and deserves to die! Hehe, besides, I’m very interested in him. If he can be refined into a Ghost Slave, wouldn’t that be nice?"
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
The next second, it seemed as though the binding on Wang Ruolan’s body was lifted.
"What if I don’t do as you say?"
Wang Ruolan blurted out.
To be honest, Ye Guichen had saved Wang Xiao, and Wang Ruolan felt grateful to him.
Although Wang Renfeng was her second brother, that devilish appearance of his made Wang Ruolan reluctant to help him from the bottom of her heart.
Especially now, the entire Prince Mansion was searching for Wang Renfeng.
If she really helped Wang Renfeng, wouldn’t she be aiding the evil?
"If you don’t help me, then there’s nothing I can do either." Wang Renfeng placed the small bottle on the bed beside Wang Ruolan. "But, you’re in your forties now. How would it feel if you suddenly appeared to be in your eighties or nineties, with sagging muscles and a deformed figure?" Get full chapters from novel★fire.net
He waved his hand dismissively and walked out of the room without saying more.
Wang Ruolan heard Wang Renfeng’s words and felt as if needles were stabbing her heart.
She instinctively picked up a mirror and glanced at her face.
At that glance, Wang Ruolan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Her originally smooth skin had turned dull.
Even more terrifyingly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had deepened considerably.
Wang Ruolan was terrified and quickly chased after him.
But where was Wang Renfeng’s trace to be found?
It was as if Wang Renfeng had never appeared at all.
"Wang Renfeng, what kind of person are you?"
At this moment, Wang Ruolan suddenly realized that she knew nothing about her second brother she had been with for decades.
After arranging to meet Wang Xiong with Wang Xiao the next day, Ye Guichen bid Wang Xiao farewell.
He had just walked out of the villa when he saw Mai Gu standing outside.
"Sect Leader." Mai Gu hurriedly greeted Ye Guichen with a grin.
Ye Guichen felt helpless about his uncle.
Although he had reluctantly agreed to become the Sect Leader of Shennong Sect, Mai Gu, who was forty or fifty years older than him, constantly calling him felt quite odd.
However, Ye Guichen knew Mai Gu’s temperament well, so he chose to selectively ignore it. "Uncle, why haven’t you left yet?"
"I’ve been waiting for you." Mai Gu walked up to Ye Guichen, asking softly with a grin, "Sect Leader, how did it go with King Jinling?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Guichen asked, puzzled.
Mai Gu chuckled dryly. "You saved his life, after all. Didn’t he make you any promises?"
"Oh, that." Wang Xiao wanted to give Ye Guichen money, but Ye Guichen had over a hundred billion now. Although Wang Xiao was King Jinling, taking out such a large sum at once wasn’t realistic.
If he gave too little, Ye Guichen wouldn’t think much of it.
So, Wang Xiao decided to keep this favor in mind and repay it later.
Ye Guichen originally didn’t expect Wang Xiao to repay him.
Saving people was just a matter of convenience.
Moreover, Ye Guichen had some idea of Mai Gu’s purpose for coming to Jinling.
As the leader of Shennong Sect, although he could delegate duties, he couldn’t ignore everything.
Having grown up with Li Fengxian, Ye Guichen knew that despite her outward appearances, she had a special attachment to Shennong Sect.
These years, despite her erratic behavior and obsession with poisons, deep down, she probably still wanted to revive Shennong Sect and make it flourish.
Reviving the sect isn’t a matter of overnight.
Now that they could form an alliance with King Jinling, with his support, establishing Shennong Hall in Jinling shouldn’t be difficult.
"Let’s go." Ye Guichen said as he started walking out.
Wang Xiao had arranged a car to take Ye Guichen and Mai Gu back to the hotel.
In the car, Ye Guichen handed a bank card to Mai Gu. "Uncle, I haven’t done much as the Sect Leader. Take this card; it has only a hundred billion or so. Use it as the startup fund for our Shennong Sect’s development. I know why you’re in Jinling. Since you’re targeting Jinling, go ahead. Money won’t be a problem. If anyone dares to obstruct, let me know."
Mai Gu was about to take the card, but hearing the amount made his hand tremble, nearly dropping it. "Sect Leader, did you say this card has over a hundred billion?"
Mai Gu had seen much over the years, having established his ground in Qinghe, with assets amounting to a few billion.
But Ye Guichen, without a word, handed over more than a hundred billion. How could Mai Gu not be shocked?
"What, not enough?" Seeing Mai Gu hesitate, Ye Guichen asked.
Mai Gu nearly tumbled off his seat.
"It’s enough! Sect Leader, you’re amazing! So generous! For just a Chinese Medicine Hall, even with the high land prices in Jinling, it’ll just need a few million. With over a hundred billion, I could establish a nationwide chain!" Mai Gu couldn’t help but marvelling, almost giving a thumbs-up to Ye Guichen.
The Sect Leader is the Sect Leader after all.
Handing over a hundred billion just like that.
Such magnanimity, Mai Gu thought he couldn’t match.
Ye Guichen had no concept of money.
The only reason he forced Pang Quan to give him money was partly to show the Azure Dragon Commerce their place and not let anyone embezzle his money.
Money earned through his skills, how could Pang Quan even think of swallowing it?
Since the founding of the Heavenly God Temple, Ye Guichen never bothered to know how much money was in its coffers. For daily expenses, he had little use, with individuals managing the temple’s companies, ensuring consistent profits.
Seeing Mai Gu’s awe, Ye Guichen simply nodded. "Great. As long as it’s enough. As I said before, though you consider me the Sect Leader, I don’t want to meddle in everything. Handle the sect matters with Master Su."
Mai Gu was overjoyed, holding the card carefully, his heart pounding.
Just then, Ye Guichen’s phone rang.
Seeing Duan Nanye’s number, Ye Guichen answered, "Brother Duan?"
