Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 57: Just What Kind Of Person Is He?

The people on the second floor all thought that Su Qiming’s actions were a bit excessive; after all, Ye Chen hadn’t treated the disease yet.

However, they didn’t say anything. Not only them, but Zhi Qiang also remained silent, and his eyes flashed with greed.

Whether Ye Chen could treat the disease or not didn’t matter to him now. He only cared about the tier-7 cauldron. As long as it was on Ye Chen, he could take it for free after dealing with him.

"Since the old man is giving me this, I won’t refuse," Ye Chen nodded with a calm look.

Hearing this, Su Qiming smiled and said a few words before taking his leave.

With the cauldron in his hand, Ye Chen didn’t have any interest in other items; hence he also decided to leave.

On the way back, many people spread what happened inside the star moon pavilion. It shocked everyone in the mystic city. They didn’t expect the formula of the tier-4 pill would be given for free.

Moreover, Ye Chen, who had taken out the formula and mocked Zhi Qiang, received a tier-7 cauldron from Su Qiming, and he even promised to treat the congenital disease of Su Ying.

It was like some kind of joke, and many people suspected whether or not someone was exaggerating things. However, it didn’t take long, and they all understood it was the truth.

After learning this, everyone’s reaction was different. Some praised Ye Chen, some badmouthed him for not knowing his place, while some hated him. Especially the alchemists who were proficient in medicine.

They have all failed to treat Su Ying, and now a mere Qi-gathering wanted to do this. How could they not feel humiliated? It was as if their skills weren’t as great as his.

Of course there were also people who believed in Ye Chen’s skills; however, they all wanted to know the secrets of Ye Chen and were even planning against him.

Ye Chen, who was at the center of all this, remained unaware and walked out of the great market with four figures.

"Brother, I will take my leave here," at this moment the fatty Li Zhenyuan spoke.

He had been following him because he wanted to know when he should come up with ingredients and what he should bring.

After talking for a while, they both decided the fatty would come to the Azure Cloud Sect after three months.

"You should be careful about Zhi Qiang; that old man is a crafty guy," Ye Chen warned him.

In response, Li Zhenyuan nodded with a serious look. He knew that old foggy was no joke. He wasn’t like Mo Chongsheng and will definitely be ruthless.

"Don’t worry, brother, I know my limits," he said and turned towards Li Mei and Lan Ming.

"Sisters-in-law, I have some ability to see fate from the face of a person, and I can already deduce a few things from you both. Such as sister-in-law Lan Ming is going to chance upon good luck."

"As for sister-in-law Li Mei, you also have good luck; however, it might be accompanied with calamity, so be careful," he warned with a serious look.

Hearing this, the first one to react was Ye Chen. He didn’t hesitate and slapped his bald head ruthlessly.

"Fatty, what nonsense are you talking about?" he said with a furious glare.

Hearing him Li Zhenyuan rubbed his aching bald head and wanted to say he was telling the truth; however, seeing Ye Chen’s cold eyes, he nodded with a shiver.

"Yes, yes, I am talking nonsense. Haha, sister-in-law Li Mei, you don’t have to worry about anything as long as you stay with brother," Li Zhenyuan explained with a laugh before escaping away hastily with his fat body.

Watching him disappear, Ye Chen snorted with dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Mei, don’t worry about that fatty’s words; he only knows how to talk nonsense," he assured her with a smile.

Hearing him Li Mei snorted with a red face; however, she didn’t say anything because she was dissatisfied with Fatty when he called her sister-in-law. Although she felt happy, she didn’t want to admit it.

Ye Chen saw through her thoughts and smiled in response.

’Well, as long as she doesn’t take his words of calamity seriously,’ he muttered in his heart with dissatisfaction towards Fatty.

The calamity was a godlike opportunity for Ye Chen, as he could save his cute junior sister and cultivate feelings at a deeper level.

However, if she already knew this and avoided it, wouldn’t his chances of cultivating feelings remain a dream?

Although he teased her and bullied her, he didn’t have any intention of forcing her. Because of this he was waiting for some opportunity like this, but now that fatty had messed up everything.

"Chen’r, aren’t you afraid of the power behind the Su family?" At this moment, Jing Xiao spoke with a serious expression.

Ye Chen knew what she was talking about; however, he didn’t care.

"So what? Do you really think I will bow to anyone?" He sneered with a cold look.

Hearing him Jing Xiao was speechless, but she knew what he told her was the truth. Even if she were in his shoes, she would do the same.

"Okay, but be careful; after all, they are not easy to mess with," she reminded.

In response, Ye Chen just shrugged with a nonchalant look; as for Li Mei and Lan Ming, they were both puzzled at what they were talking about.

However, they didn’t inquire since it didn’t look like they were of any help.

The only thing they understood was that it was related to the Su family.

’This guy is too crafty. I have to make sure not to fall into a disadvantageous situation when I am with him,’ Jing Xiao muttered inwardly with a faint sigh.

She was a medicine master, so how could she not see through his thoughts? There was a saying that said misfortune and fortune coexisted together.

Su Ying’s current condition was misfortune, and if he treated her, then she would definitely soar in the sky.

If not, Ye Chen won’t ask for an exorbitant amount of money for treatment. Even though the Su family was rich, they would have trouble with taking this amount of money.

So, what was Ye Chen planning? He was simply going to ask them to pay in installments. Unless they paid in full, they will always owe a favor to him. Moreover, the more Su Ying soars in this time, the more they would feel indebted.

One had to know that the whole southern province of kingdoms was governed by the Su family. So, if he can gain the favor of them, then no one can provoke him and the Azure Cloud Sect, which were in the southern province.

Even the first grade had to think before taking action because behind the Su family stood the royal family of the Golden River Kingdom.

They wouldn’t just sit and watch after seeing a first-grade sect going against one of their pillars. Of course, they would also hate Ye Chen if he tried to use them as chess piece, hence why she reminded him.

Nevertheless, she was shocked to see that Ye Chen could see this far, and the curiosity in her heart only increased.

’Just what kind of person is he?’ she muttered in her heart.

…

It was already noon when Ye Chen returned to the azure pavilion with Li Mei and Lan Ming.

As for Jing Xiao, she was in the jade mountain pavilion just opposite to Azure Cloud.

"Senior brother, is this tier-3 ginseng important to you?" Li Mei inquired as she saw him taking out the herb, which he had purchased from the disciple of the Frostfire Sect.

Lan Ming also gave him a curious glance, wondering why he had bought it.

"No, it’s not the herb that is important." Ye Chen shook his head and threw away the tier-3 herb into the spatial ring.

After that he took a closer look at the bronze box.

This was what made his spiritual root tremble with excitement; even now it was still trembling, wanting to devour it.

But of course, Ye Chen wouldn’t let it do as it wishes unless he uncovers the mystery behind it.

"Brother Chen, is there something hidden in the box?" Lan Ming asked with twinkles in her eyes.

Li Mei was also more or less the same, as she felt her senior brother must have picked some treasure.

Watching their reactions, Ye Chen chuckled faintly.

"There is something hidden in the box… However, we just can’t open it like this," he said seriously.

"Yunqi, are you here? I need your help with some formations," he called out.

"Hmm, what formations do you need?" Zhen Yunqi’s voice came with a hint of surprise.

"A powerful concealing formation and as well as something that can block visions," Ye Chen said after a moment.

His spiritual root was definitely not a normal one, so there was no way it would like some trash on the road.

Hence, he was sure whatever the spiritual root was interested in must be something good.

Moreover, it was definitely a treasure that can allow spiritual root to go under mutation. If people outside found out about this, they would definitely fight with life and death, even ignoring the city rules.
