A Peerless Master

Ye Fan tapped the desk and said solemnly, "Boss, you have to deliver my letter along with the Jade Buddha! If you lose my letter, I'll make a Nightmare Talisman and stick it on your forehead so you can't sleep all night."

"You know how to draw talismans, too?" Zhou Jinzhi asked in surprise.

Ye Fan gave him an inscrutable smile. "Didn't I tell you? I've read widely since childhood, remember everything I see, and possess unrivaled wisdom. It's only drawing talismans. Nothing to make a fuss about."

"You're really something!"

"You're too kind, too kind!"

Zhou Jinzhi was speechless. This guy has delusions of grandeur!

Ye Fan paid and turned to leave.

Watching Ye Fan walk away, Zhou Jinzhi pondered for a moment before calling Old Master Bai. "Old Bai! Yes, it's me, Old Zhou. I just got a prescription from a peerless master. Here's what it says... Have Physician Hua take a look and see whether it might help with Young Master Bai's condition."

Not long after Ye Fan returned to his apartment, someone knocked on the door.

"Cousin, what brings you here?" Ye Fan asked.

Wu Sihan looked at Ye Fan. "You harassed Young Master Bai?"

"Young Master Bai? You mean that really handsome guy?"

Wu Sihan nodded. "Yes, Young Master Bai is very handsome."

"I didn't harass him. I just want to pursue him," Ye Fan said.

Wu Sihan looked at Ye Fan and said irritably, "That's Young Master Bai! Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

Ye Fan looked at Wu Sihan in confusion. "Why would I get beaten up?"

Wu Sihan was speechless. Ever since his younger cousin had been thrown out of the Ye Family, he hadn't been quite right in the head!

"Since when have you liked men? Didn't you always like Liao Tingting?"

Ye Fan waved a hand dismissively, his face full of disdain. "Don't bring up Liao Tingting. How could an ordinary, shallow woman like her be worthy of me? I don't like men. I just happened to fall in love with Young Master Bai at first sight!"

In the cultivation world, male cultivators outnumbered female cultivators, so many men paired up with each other.

Cultivators often went into secluded cultivation for decades or even centuries. When some powerful cultivators emerged after a hundred years, even their grandchildren had already passed away. Many cultivators sought immortality and placed little importance on having children, preferring to find a partner who would face life's trials alongside them and offer mutual support.

Wu Sihan rubbed his forehead, somewhat surprised that Ye Fan now considered Liao Tingting an ordinary, shallow woman.

"It's about time you came to your senses! You won't be able to win Young Master Bai over," Wu Sihan said.

"Cousin, I read in a financial magazine that you're a businessman with an adventurous spirit! Why are you such a coward? That magazine's editor really misjudged you," Ye Fan said indignantly.

Wu Sihan rolled his eyes. "I'm saying this for your own good!"

Ye Fan waved a hand. "Don't worry. I'm not planning to make my move yet. Before I officially pursue him, I need ten billion. But how am I supposed to get ten billion?"

Wu Sihan was speechless. That was a good question. He wanted to know the answer, too!

"Fan, you have to keep your feet on the ground in business and take things one step at a time!" Wu Sihan said.

"Then when will I ever get to marry him?" Ye Fan asked glumly.

Wu Sihan was speechless. Not in this lifetime!

"You're still young. You have plenty of time. Take it slowly, slowly..." Wu Sihan said.

Ye Fan sighed. "All right, then..."

Wu Sihan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Ye Fan had been thrown out of the Ye Family, he had stopped behaving predictably, leaving Wu Sihan utterly exhausted. "Young Master Jiang hasn't come to cause trouble for you, has he?"

"Why would he cause trouble for me? He respects me so much!" Ye Fan asked, utterly baffled.

Wu Sihan was speechless.

"Have you prepared a gift for the old master?" Wu Sihan asked.

Ye Fan nodded. "It's ready?"

"A Jade Pendant worth five thousand?" Wu Sihan asked.

Ye Fan nodded. "Yes."

Wu Sihan looked at Ye Fan and thought, You little brat. You gave Young Master Bai a Jade Buddha worth three million, but you're giving the old master a Jade Pendant worth five thousand. Don't you think that's embarrassingly cheap?
