"Ailing, Sisi, do you two have any thoughts about Jiang Chen?" Li Ruoxi asked.
"Not at all," Zhou Ailing replied, her face turning red.
Liu Sisi remained silent, her expression complex.
"Sisi definitely isn't interested in Jiang Chen. Although he has great abilities, he's not the handsome little fresh meat that Sisi likes," Li Ruoxi teased with a laugh.
"Who says Jiang Chen isn't handsome? He's the most handsome man I've ever seen," Liu Sisi defended.
"Haha, Sisi, you really are fickle," Li Ruoxi chuckled.
The girls, including Lin Bingbing, found it hard to sleep that night. They chatted and laughed until two in the morning before finally drifting off.
Meanwhile, Xiao Junyong and Cheng Shunwu also struggled to find sleep. One son had been killed, and one grandson had been murdered, yet they could not seek revenge. It was incredibly frustrating for them both as they searched for reasons to convince themselves to forget about it. However, no reason could dissolve the hatred in their hearts. Even if they chose silence now, one day it would inevitably erupt. Of course, whether they exploded or not was of no concern to Jiang Chen.
The next day, Lin Bingbing and the others slept until nine before waking up. Jiang Chen and Lin Bingbing returned to Hangcheng first and then parted ways, with Jiang Chen heading back to Nangang City.
A year had passed, and Jiang Chen decided it was time to attend to some serious matters. The seven treasures he mentioned to Yue Hui were the Seven Divine Artifacts needed to unlock the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm. He intended to hurry and search for them. The first artifact was located in the Kunlun Divine Realm, currently occupied by the Takeda Family. Jiang Chen had learned this information from a divine master he encountered last year while cultivating on Kunlun Mountain. However, the master hadn’t revealed his name but mentioned that they would meet again if fate allowed.
Jiang Chen planned to visit the Takeda Family in a few days to reclaim the Kunlun Divine Realm.
At Huafei Villa, the spiritual mist grew denser, resembling a fairyland from afar. During the New Year period, Lin Yin diligently learned household chores and practiced her cooking skills. She had become quite a competent housekeeper, at least able to keep Huafei Villa spotless and prepare delicious meals.
In this world, there was nothing one couldn't learn. Lin Yin wasn't originally a wealthy young lady; during the time when the housekeeper went home for the New Year, she took on household duties with impressive skill.
After returning home, Jiang Chen occasionally visited his company. It was currently managed by Zhuyong, Ma Wenlai, and Zhou Dafeng; everything was running smoothly without him needing to worry as chairman. His visits felt more like interruptions for the three senior managers, so he decided to go less frequently and instead spent most of his time cultivating at Huafei Villa.
After three days at Huafei Villa, on Thursday afternoon of New Year's Day twenty-eight, Jiang Chen's phone rang.
Looking at the screen, he saw it was Ye Ming calling.
Ye Ming was his disciple whom he had taken on last year in Gusu. He had only guided her in cultivation for a few days before becoming too busy to continue. During the New Year holiday, Ye Ming called to wish her master well and mentioned that she planned to go to Shanghai after the holiday.
Ye Ming's mother, Ye Xinru, naturally called Jiang Chen to express her gratitude for saving her daughter and taking her as a disciple. She also explained her decision to send Ye Ming to Shanghai.
Since childhood, Ye Ming had never been welcomed by the other members of the Ye Family, and she naturally held no fondness for them in return. Now that she was healthy again, she was unwilling to stay with the Ye Family, so she requested to live a normal life in Shanghai. Ye Xinru thought this was a good idea and bought a villa for her daughter in Shanghai, which would also facilitate her training. She hoped that Jiang Chen would visit and guide her daughter from time to time. Jiang Chen agreed at that moment.
Now, Ye Ming was calling, likely because she had arrived in Shanghai. Jiang Chen answered the phone, and he heard Ye Ming's voice on the other end: "Hello, Master!"
"Ha ha, Ye Ming, you said you would go to Shanghai after the New Year. Are you there now?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Yes, I just arrived two days ago. When are you coming to Shanghai? I can pick you up," Ye Ming replied.
"I'll come to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, Saturday. No need to pick me up; just send me your address when the time comes, and I'll find you. Also, you don't have to call me Master, especially in front of others; it makes me feel old," Jiang Chen chuckled.
"Alright then! I'll send you my location on WeChat. What should I call you?" Hearing Jiang Chen agree to come to Shanghai made Ye Ming happy.
"Okay, let's keep in touch on WeChat. Just call me by my name when we're out!" Jiang Chen said.
Since Jiang Chen had promised Ye Xinru, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word and planned to visit Shanghai. Moreover, he needed to depart for Island Nation from Shanghai since it had international flights.
On Saturday, Jiang Chen took the high-speed train to Shanghai. After exiting the train station, he called Ye Ming to let her know he had arrived.
At that moment, in a café on the Bund in Shanghai, Ye Ming received the call with delight. After hanging up, she sent her location to Jiang Chen.
"Who was that, Ye Ming? It can't be your boyfriend, right?" asked a girl sitting across from her wearing a round hat with a curious expression.
This girl was Zhao Wenjing, one of Ye Ming's rare childhood friends. Despite Ye Ming's illness and her family's good financial situation, she had few friends. Zhao Wenjing didn't mind Ye Ming's condition and they got along well.
Zhao Wenjing was dressed in designer clothes and looked like an elite professional fresh out of a corporate environment. After graduating from university, she stayed in Shanghai for work at a decent company. Her boyfriend was a local from Shanghai, and they were already discussing marriage.
A couple of days ago, after arriving in Shanghai with her mother and Master Chen, Ye Ming sought out Zhao Wenjing as soon as they left.
Ye Ming came to Shanghai intending to experience life as an ordinary person first and was looking for a job. Luckily, she had successfully secured one after an interview yesterday.
"No, it's not that; he's a Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine who cured my illness, so I'm treating him to a meal!" Ye Ming didn't tell the whole truth.
"Oh, a Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine? He must be quite old!" Zhao Wenjing said with some disappointment. Generally speaking, people thought only those who had practiced traditional medicine for many years could be called Masters.
Ye Ming shook her head. "No, he's quite young; he might even be younger than me."
"Young? Is he handsome? Is he from Shanghai?" Zhao Wenjing asked with surprise and curiosity.
"He's from Southeast Province and looks quite refined," Ye Ming replied.
"Ye Ming, you mentioned before that you didn't plan on returning to Gusu. You're preparing to settle down in Shanghai now; since this Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine isn't local despite curing your illness, you shouldn't consider him too seriously. Do you know how much pressure ordinary workers face when buying property in Shanghai? Even though your family is wealthy, you can't expect him to rely on your support! By the way, my boyfriend is coming over soon with a handsome guy; I'll introduce you two! You should seize the opportunity! That guy is local from Shanghai and comes from a wealthy family—he's the perfect high-class rich guy," Zhao Wenjing said enthusiastically.
