Chapter 157: Reversal of Positions, Ye Huanhuan Comes Seeking to Acknowledge a Brother_3
No less than five powerful factions have offered Chen Yi a hefty annual salary of hundreds of spirit stones,
Chen Yi didn't agree to any of them, none seemed particularly suitable.
The resources that Chen Yi's future cultivation requires are plentiful, something these families simply couldn't offer,
Plus, he has specific demands for his upcoming cultivation environment and taking into account Liu Emei's situation,
He must find a secluded place with the attributes of ice and water, a second-tier spiritual vein, and also have alchemy facilities,
Furthermore, it needs to have convenient trading, a place where Chen Yi can be self-sufficient through his medical skills and alchemy,
Considering all these factors, none of the powers that currently court Chen Yi meet the criteria.
Three days later,
The influx of visiting guests came to an end, Wang Tengfei, Zhao Chengyu, and Song Chengcheng all left.
Wang Tengfei was busy with the law enforcement team's affairs while Zhao Chengyu was waiting for Chen Yi to continue his treatment,
Now that Chen Yi has successfully reached the Foundation Establishment, Zhao Chengyu felt considerably relieved. His treatment should speed up, thinking of the unfavorable situation in Zhao's Family Island, Zhao Chengyu felt very anxious.
As for Song Chengcheng, she has been completely held up for the past few months. Although the injuries she sustained in the Demon Territory were mostly healed by Chen Yi on the spot,
Some damage to her meridians from frostbite still needs to be gradually healed,
These few months, her heart has been consumed by Chen Yi's Foundation Establishment, she didn't pay much attention to her own situation,
Chen Yi noticed her situation, and asked her to stay on Wangyue Island for a while. After these days passed, Chen Yi would specifically treat her once.
Upon hearing this, Song Chengcheng's heart trembled at the thought of possibly having to undress for the treatment again, feeling a bit flustered,
But in the end, she still nodded lightly in agreement,
All for the pursuit of the Dao, Chen Yi was a mere physician, he wouldn't have any untoward thoughts.
Then on this day,
After bidding farewell to Chen Yi, just as Song Chengcheng and Zhao Chengyu stepped out of Huichun Hall,
A stern-looking young woman in a red dress walked towards them.
Zhao Chengyu's face showed surprise. The woman was extremely beautiful, not inferior to Song Chengcheng on the side,
Just that she was slightly frowning, as if she was contemplating something,
Zhao Chengyu looks over and was met with the woman's sharp gaze. He immediately sensed a killing intent.
Such sharp sword intent, somewhat similar to Wang Tengfei's, but her cultivation level is much higher than Wang Tengfei's,
This woman is at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, her face looked somewhat familiar. Soon, Zhao Chengyu remembered her identity:
Miss Ye Huanhuan of the Ye Family!
"Greetings, Miss Ye, I am Zhao Chengyu from the Zhao family."
Zhao Chengyu performed a salute. His Zhao family bought a second-tier premium array from Ye Huanhuan, which played a significant role in a family war a few years ago. Seeing Ye Huanhuan, he felt grateful towards her.
"Oh~, so it's you. So, this is Chen Yi's clinic, is he inside?"
Ye Huanhuan glanced at Zhao Chengyu and asked. As she spoke, her brows furrowed even tighter.
Song Chengcheng didn't recognize her, she was initially standing aside. But when she realized that she was here for Chen Yi as well, she couldn't help but become curious,
What does this female cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment want to do with Chen Yi?
"This is Daoist Chen's clinic."
"I see, you may leave."
Ye Huanhuan waved her hand, dismissing Zhao Chengyu as if shooing a fly.
Because she had been managing the family affairs on Wangyue Island,
A few days ago, her family tasked her with courting a newly established Foundation cultivator. At first, she didn't think much of it,
But when she heard that the person was none other than the newly established cultivator and former Turtle Doctor, Chen Yi,
Ye Huanhuan felt extremely uncomfortable.
This old man actually achieved Foundation Establishment success?
Didn't he cultivate the Turtle Sutra? So this martial method can be used to establish a Foundation?
Moreover, the family, from some unknown source, found out that Chen Yi might be a hidden second-tier alchemist, and asked her to go courting him at all costs,
Ye Huanhuan remembered the words she said when she met Chen Yi years ago:
"Just spit it out!"
"You dared to say this?"
"Get lost, don't ever appear in front of me again!"
Her face was a bit hot as she remembered,
Now, Chen Yi indeed hasn't appeared in front of her, it is her who has come forward to ask Chen Yi for help.
"Daoist Ye, I didn't expect to see you still in Wangyue City, has everything been well for you recently?"
Last time, Chen Yi saw Ye Huanhuan be extremely humble, not only did she have to bow and address him as senior, but she was also scolded by her,
Now, seeing Ye Huanhuan again in Huichun Hall,
Chen Yi, in his green robe, his skin as smooth as jade, greeted Miss Ye with a smile.
Now he, too, is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, at the same level as Ye Huanhuan, calling Ye Daoist Friend shouldn't be a problem.
Ye Huanhuan put away her sharp sword intent, returning back to her youthful charm:
"Giggles, Brother Chen, decades ago you helped me refine the Gold Body Pill. Now we meet again by chance in Wangyue City, calling me Daoist Ye seems a bit distant,
Brother Chen, just call me Huanhuan, or else I would think you are avoiding me~"
Ye Huanhuan skipped forward charmingly, smiling at Chen Yi as if trying to charm him.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi almost didn't recognize her. Was this the same Ye Family Foundation cultivator who swatted Chen Yi away like a fly?
"I dare not, if possible, as an old man, may I address you as Miss Ye?"
Not everyone could just call her "Huanhuan".
"Brother Chen, you're being silly~ Where are you old? Your appearance is even better preserved than mine~"
Ye Huanhuan said playfully with a smile, against her discomfort, she tried to force a connection with Chen Yi, trying to acknowledge him as her older brother no matter what.
Chen Yi naturally didn't agree.
Ye Huanhuan may seem innocent, but she's shrewder than anyone, if she acted overly friendly it usually meant she was up to something,
Chen Yi remained vigilant in his heart.
The two sat down and chatted for a bit, Ye Huanhuan asked Chen Yi for skincare tips, and Chen Yi recommended his beautifying regimen.
Speaking of the beautifying heritage, Liu Peng seemed to know that his father tried to trick Chen Yi. However, he didn't try to demand the second-tier essence of the heritage from Chen Yi, and since he didn't mention it, Chen Yi kept silent. The incident was thus settled unnoticed.
Then, Ye Huanhuan seemed to be still reminiscing about the "Green Lotus Hermit" she met on Spirit Fish Island,
"If it weren't for Green Lotus Hermit living in seclusion on Spirit Fish Island, we might have fallen into the hands of Jiang Hao, the evil cultivator,
Speaking of this,
Brother Chen, you stayed on Spirit Fish Island for so many years, you really didn't find any traces of the Green Lotus Hermit?"
