Ye Fan cultivated in the mountains for a few days before heading home.
The first thing Ye Fan did upon returning to Cang City was go to the Wu Family to pick up his turtle!
Ye Fan had not expected another pleasant surprise to be waiting for him there.
"This was sent from Capital City?" Ye Fan asked, his face lighting up.
"Yes, here's the delivery slip, but the sender didn't leave a name!"
Ye Fan beamed. "I know who it was. He's thin-skinned and felt embarrassed, but that's fine. As long as I know."
"Uncle, was it Auntie?" Wu Haoqiang tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve, eager for gossip.
Ye Fan nodded delightedly. "Yes, exactly! It was your auntie. Your uncle played the hero and saved the beauty, and your auntie was moved."
"Uncle, you're the best!" Wu Haoqiang said excitedly.
"Your auntie really went all out!" Ye Fan said.
Wu Haoqiang nodded. "He sure did. Dad and Mom said it's all good stuff. Some of those medicinal herbs are impossible to get without the right connections."
"Wonderful! Your auntie is so considerate! I'm definitely going to win him over," Ye Fan said happily.
His main reason for returning this time was to refine qi-boosting pills.
However, the herbs needed to refine them were expensive. He had been wondering what to do, only for someone to send them straight to him. With these herbs in hand, he should be able to pick up the remaining supplementary ingredients at a few pharmacies.
Wu Sihan frowned as he listened to Ye Fan and Wu Haoqiang's conversation.
Wu Sihan found that his son and Ye Fan had quite a lot in common, but why couldn't he make much sense of what they were saying?
"Ye Fan, could these things have been sent by Young Master Bai?" Wu Sihan asked.
Ye Fan nodded. "Yes, probably. He's fallen for me."
Wu Sihan was speechless. Are you sure?
"It's all good stuff! As expected of the man I've set my sights on. He's so generous," Ye Fan said smugly.
Wu Sihan was speechless. If Bai Yunxi really sent these things, does that mean he has a fairly good impression of Ye Fan?
"Ye Fan, although the door to your old apartment has been repaired, there are people coming and going all the time, which isn't very convenient. I found you another place-a villa with better security. Strangers aren't allowed into the villa complex, so your privacy will be protected too," Wu Sihan said.
Ye Fan blinked at Wu Sihan in confusion. "You're giving it to me?"
Wu Sihan nodded. "Yes, it's yours!"
Ye Fan gave Wu Sihan a peculiar look. "Cousin, why are you suddenly being so generous?"
"Ye Fan, that Jade Pendant you gave Haoqiang seems pretty good," Wu Sihan said, a little awkwardly.
Ye Fan ruffled Wu Haoqiang's hair. "Yes, it is. Huh? It looks like the Jade Pendant has been activated. Xiao Qiang, did you get kidnapped again?"
Wu Haoqiang shook his head. "No, no! A dog tried to bite me, and then it went flying. Uncle, you have no idea how cool you are! That dog just whooshed into the air."
Ye Fan nodded. "So that's what happened."
Tang Ning looked at Ye Fan and asked cautiously, "Cousin, now that the Jade Pendant has been used, does that mean it won't work anymore?"
Ye Fan shook his head. "It still works. It'll only stop working once its spiritual radiance is exhausted. It should have another two or three uses left." He glanced at Wu Sihan and suddenly remembered his opposition to feudal superstition, so he corrected himself. "Actually, the Jade Pendant is just decorative. It doesn't do anything."
Tang Ning was speechless.
Wu Sihan's face grew a little hot under Ye Fan's gaze. "Fan, I think this Jade Pendant is quite good. There are so many of us in the Wu Family. Perhaps you could..."
Ye Fan nodded. "Sure, I'll make one for each of you."
Ye Fan figured that since Wu Sihan had given him a villa, he ought to return the favor.
Just as Ye Fan was preparing to move, his phone rang.
"Hello? Oh, it's Old Man Zhou! What's the matter?"
"An old friend of yours fainted and is in the hospital? Then have a doctor look at him! Why call me?"
"You'll give me ten million as long as I wake him up? That sounds great! I'll come take a look."
Ye Fan put down his phone and turned to Wu Sihan. "Business has come knocking. The move can wait. Let's go to the hospital first!"
Wu Sihan looked at Ye Fan and asked cautiously, "Ye Fan, is this Old Man Zhou you mentioned Mr. Zhou?"
"That crooked jade dealer!" Ye Fan said.
Wu Sihan was speechless. So it is Mr. Zhou. He actually asked Ye Fan to treat his friend.
Wu Sihan smiled. "I'll drive you over."
Ye Fan smiled. "Sure!"
As soon as Ye Fan reached the hospital, he spotted Mr. Zhou pacing anxiously by the entrance. "Boss Zhou, if I wake the patient up, will you really give me ten million?"
Wu Sihan shot Ye Fan an exasperated glare. Ye Fan, you idiot. When you meet someone as important as Zhou Jinzhi, even if you don't try to get on his good side, you shouldn't ask him for money!
"Fan, surely you trust Boss Zhou's reputation?" Wu Sihan scolded.
Ye Fan nodded. "I don't! The first time I bought something from him, he tried to rip me off!"
Wu Sihan was speechless.
Zhou Jinzhi rolled his eyes, utterly at a loss. "Would you like me to transfer the ten million to you first?"
"That would be great!"
Zhou Jinzhi was speechless.
Wu Sihan was speechless.
"Ye Fan, let's go see the patient first," Wu Sihan said, trying to smooth things over.
Ye Fan nodded reluctantly. "Fine."
