Chapter 138 - The Spokesperson Yue Lao
When Bai Dahai took his wife and daughter away, Ye Zichen pursed his lips and smiled when he thought back to the scene of them meeting, "Hai-ge, thank you so much."
"You're still treating Hai-ge like an outsider," Xiao Hai frowned slightly unhappily. He poured a cup of tea for Ye Zichen and said, "Taste it, this is Da Hong Pao that Hai-ge asked people to buy at a very high price."
"You know that I don't really understand tea," as Ye Zichen gave an excuse, he took a sip from his tea cup. "Not bad."
"You only know how to say that," Xiao Hai shook his head with a smile. Then he quickly retracted his smile. "Are you sure you want to do this? The person behind Hao Wen is not normal. I feel like you already earned enough by removing the unstable factor of Bai Dahai.
"People are greedy," Ye Zichen rotated his neck meaningfully, then crossed his legs. "If I allow Hao Wen to continue on like this, he will be a worrying unstable factor for me. Since he has someone supporting him, then it isn't completely awful for me to contact the person behind him."
Xiao Hai sighed. He could feel Ye Zichen's determination just from his expression.
Although Ye Zichen kept on calling him Hai-ge, Xiao Hai did not think that he understood Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen was mysterious, and capable.
Nothing about him could be seen through.
Xiao Hai nodded with a smile as he finished his cup of tea, "Then Hai-ge won't try to talk you out of it. Just decide it by yourself."
"Haha, Hai-ge has no need to worry, I'm not a child," Ye Zichen chuckled. When he suddenly thought of Zhuge Kongming, who was in the supermarket, he couldn't help but ask. "Hai-ge, has there been any reaction to the news I asked you to spread in your circles?"
Xiao Hai was confused for a moment. After quite a while, he finally understood and said, "You're talking about that child called Zhuge Kongming?"
"Yes," Ye Zichen nodded.
This child had been by his side for too long. Although it wasn't much for him to feed this child, Ye Zichen had too many secrets, so allowing the kid to carrying on staying there wasn't going to work.
What's more, the parents who lost their child would worry!
"No news," Xiao Hai shrugged. "Both Dongfang Wenyi and I spread the news in our circles, but we didn't hear which family in the capital had a child that ran away from home."
"Then could he be from other places?"
Ye Zichen knew the reason for that kid to run away from home, so that child might have intentionally made up a false address in fear of Ye Zichen using it as a way to find his parents.
"You should be clear about how your Hai-ge does things. I did think that maybe he wasn't someone from the capital, but I didn't hear any news of children running away from home from other provinces."
…
This time, it was ye Zichen's turn to get stressed. Just what did this kid, Zhuge Kongming do?
From the looks of him, he seemed like the child of a rich family, but there was no news about him in the circles.
Could Zhuge Kongming's family's circle be different to Xiao Hai's…
Or did his parents not realize? If that's the case, then these parents are too neglecting.
Xiao Hai raised his eyebrows when he saw the troubled look on Ye Zichen's face, "How about I help you ask in other circles!"
"Then I'll be troubling Hai-ge."
Ye Zichen rubbed his head while being uncertain of what to do after leaving the Xiao family.
Xiao Yumei was a workaholic, he could barely see her free at the jewelry store, so he didn't want to go and disturb her…
Su Yan and Xia Keke both have lessons in the afternoon.
Thinking about it, Ye Zichen seemed to be only able to go to the small supermarket.
"There hasn't been anyone that has come to cause trouble at the supermarket, right?" Ye Zichen sat in the chair at the cashier's counter and smoked. To be fair, it was pretty nice having the little shopkeeper, Zhuge Kongming around.
At least someone cleans up the supermarket pretty nicely.
"No one came to cause trouble, but there were a few that wanted to buy stuff. However, I just sent them away by telling them the supermarket haven't opened yet." Zhuge Kongming took out a can of coke form the fridge, then muttered after a sip. "Zichen-ge, I have always been really curious, what's the point of opening this supermarket if you're not selling?"
Ye Zichen immediately rolled his eyes when Zhuge Kongming said this.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
"Oh," Zhuge Kongming twitched his mouth bitterly, then ran out of the supermarket to look at the sky.
Ye Zichen was also troubled as he looked at the entire supermarket, which was full of goods.
He didn't know what was going on with the Heavenly Court, but no one came to ask him to stock up. This wasn't quite like the mass sales he imagined.
Ye Zichen looked at Yue Lao's moments, the daily advertisements were very on point.
But why wasn't Yue Lao coming to him to stock up!
On the other hand, there was no need for him to think about Monkey Bro, Bajie and Erlang Shen.
According to Ye Zichen's recent observations, the three of them weren't cut out for this.
However, the more troubling aspect was Immortal Lady He….
Ye Zichen stared at Immortal Lady He's profile picture in the chat group for a long time. Only she had Nine Heart Lotus Roots.
Yet, he didn't know her, and this immortal lady just entered the group.
If he just casually adds her, it might have the opposite effect. What's more, the Eight Immortals might not want stuff like soft drinks from him…
Dingdong.
Dingdong.
Ye Zichen's phone vibrated several times at that moment.
Someone spoke up in the spokesperson group.
Yue Lao: Great deity!
Yue Lao: @Only Idealism, great deity!
Since this geezer sought him out in the spokesperson group, could there be sales?
"Here!"
"Great deity, stock up!"
At that moment within Yue Lao's home in the Heavenly Court, Yue Lao, who's hair was completely white, seemed like he hasn't rested for a long time. However, his eyes revealed an excited light…
That was a light that would only be revealed when a businessman notices profits!
"Do you want to be an agent!"
"Yes, I want to be an agent."
"Sure, private chat."
Not long later, Yue Lao and Ye Zichen started in their own chat.
Yue Lao: Great deity, this time, I need…
Yue Lao listed a long list of products and the required quantity. From the looks of it, it seemed like Yue Lao was about to open a supermarket in the Heavenly Court.
Ye Zichen calculated it approximately, it would require at least a hundred thousand cultivation experience.
This was definitely a huge deal for him. Normally speaking, he would directly send everything out.
However, he had a slight issue…
"Do you know Immortal Lady He!"
"Immortal Lady He of the Eight Immortals?"
"Yes, that's her. Do you know her?"
"Of course I do, I was the one who screwed up her relationship with Han Xiangzi back then.
…
So it was this geezer's fault.
Ye Zichen knew about Han Xiangzi and Immortal Lady He since he was young, he felt rather sorry for them since they didn't end up together. He never would have expected Yue Lao to have been the one to screw it up.
More importantly, screwing up someone else's relationship…
They shouldn't be in that good of a relationship, right?
"Then are you on good terms with Immortal Lady He?"
"I'm on amazing terms with her," Yue Lao suddenly replied.
Ye Zichen was a bit confused when he saw this message!
Wait!
Screwing up their relationship, yet being on good terms.
"You're not lying to me?"
"How would I dare to lie to great deity, my relationship with Immortal Lady He is truly amazing."
"Alright," Ye Zichen smiled. "Then introduce me to Immortal Lady He. If you succeed, then I'll give you twenty percent off whenever you need to stock up from me in the future!"
"About this…"
Ye Zichen thought Yue Lao would instantly agree, yet, Yue Lao actually hesitated.
After a long while, Yue Lao sent out a slightly testing message.
"Great deity, do you want to pursue Immortal Lady He?!"
Chapter 139 - Got silently rejected by immortal Lady He
Pursue your ass!
This geezer, Yue Lao, truly doesn't say too many things that are unrelated to this job. His very first question was whether Ye Zichen wanted to pursue her!
Does he, Ye Zichen, dare to pursue her? If he did, then wouldn't Han Xiangzi beat him to death?
He's one of the Eight Immortals, and he's a mere mortal…
"I don't want to pursue Immortal Lady He, I just want to request an item from her. Help introduce me."
"That's alright."
When Ye Zichen saw this message, he was speechless once more. What the hell? So Yue Lao wouldn't allow him if he really wanted to pursue her?
"One moment, celestial sovereign."
It seemed like Yue Lao went to find Immortal Lady He. Thus, Ye Zichen put his phone onto the table and stretched lazily.
Zhuge Kongming was very weird. He didn't have the bad habits that children his age should have.
He was very quiet and obedient.
If Ye Zichen didn't call him, then he would quietly sit at the entrance and look at the sky, thinking about unknown matters.
"Kongming, it's pretty boring staying at the supermarket every day, right?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Zhuge Kongming turned over, and instantly frowned, while his eyes seem to be on the verge of tears, "Zichen-dage, do you want to kick me out…."
I really do have this intention!
Ye Zichen thought to himself. However, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the child's pitiful look.
"Where are you going to go if I chase you away? I just wanted to ask if you're bored. If you are, then I'll bring a laptop over for you, so you can play games when you have nothing to do."
"Really? That's great!" Zhuge Kongming's eyes brightened. "If Zichen-ge can buy me a computer, that's obviously for the best."
….
So direct.
Without saying any words of wanting to decline.
"Sure, then I'll bring it over for you next time," Ye Zichen smiled, while Zhuge Kongming also nodded with a smile. "Oh yeah, want to tell me about your family and that engagement partner?"
"Don't mention it," Zhuge Kongming twitched his mouth. "There isn't much to say about my family. They count as small rich businessmen. As for that engagement partner…"
"What about your engagement partner?"
"I heard that the girl is quite a few years older than me. I've never seen her. I don't even remember her name. She seemed to be called Xia something…" Zhuge Kongming thought about it for a while. However, it seemed like he couldn't recall it, causing him to wave his hand. "Never mind, but this isn't important. I have seen her photo, she's kind of pretty, but she's not my type."
Ye Zichen had no doubt that she was pretty.
Children of large families like theirs would often look quite good, especially girls…
Even if they weren't born that way, it can be altered! Technology is so advanced now, the hospitals can satisfy you even if you want to turn into an alien.
"Why types can a little brat like. What do you know?"
"I just don't like her," Zhuge Kongming frowned.
At this moment, the phone Ye Zichen had put onto the table rang.
He picked up the phone, and gave a cue for Zhuge Kongming to go on the side, before opening his WeChat.
The first thing he did was to see if anyone added him. However, he didn't see any friend requests of Immortal Lady He.
"Celestial sovereign!"
"Celestial sovereign what? Where's Immortal Lady He?"
Yue Lao was too inefficient. Immortal Lady He didn't find him!
"Celestial sovereign, I spoke with Immortal Lady He just now, she…"
"What about her?"
"Never mind, let me send you a screenshot."
Dingdong.
Yue Lao sent over a screenshot, which Ye Zichen took a look at…
Yue Lao: Lil' He!
Immortal Lady He: I'm here!
Yue Lao: How have you been recently?
Immortal Lady He: Pretty good, I'm just a bit bored.
Yue Lao: Didn't you just enter our Heavenly Court chat a bit more in the group if you're bored!
Immortal Lady He: Yeah, it's pretty lively.
Yue Lao: Yeah, just chat a bit if you have nothing to do, improve your relationship with other celestial friends. Oh yeah, you saw that celestial sovereign Nameless when you entered the group, right?"
Immortal Lady He: That Only Idealism?
Yue Lao: Yeah, that's him.
Immortal Lady He: I saw…
Yue Lao: That celestial sovereign is a master. He lives with Taibai Jinxing.
Immortal Lady He: Really? That's pretty amazing!
Yue Lao: That celestial sovereign wants to get to know you…
…
That was where the chat log ended, and Immortal Lady He did not reply afterwards.
Ye Zichen looked over it for a while. To be honest, he didn't feel like there was anything wrong.
Yue Lao had paved the way pretty well, and also told Immortal Lady He about his position. He was unable to feel any dislike from Immortal Lady He's words…
Why did she stop speaking!
At the same time, at the Eight Immortal Manor.
Han Xiangzi clenched his teeth hatefully as he stared at Ye Zichen's profile pic in the chat group. Meanwhile, Iron Crutch Li and Han Zhongli, who were playing go, looked towards him and asked.
"What's with the expression!?"
"The brat who was newly ascended wants to chat up Immortal Lady He."
"How do you know?" Iron Crutch Li was confused.
Han Xiangzi lifted his phone in his hand and said, "I just chatted with Yue Lao for a moment using Immortal Lady He's phone, Yue Lao directly said that the celestial sovereign Nameless wants to get to know Immortal Lady He! Think about it, what could it be aside from wanting to chat her up, since Yue Lao asked in person?"
"Ol' Han, that's not quite right. It's not that good that you used Immortal Lady He's phone, right?" Han Zhongli frowned.
"We brothers know that you're interested in Immortal Lady He, but didn't your relationship get broken off before we ascended!? You two are destined to not be together, so what is this for!"
"But I'm not happy about it either."
Han Xiangzi's eyes were filled with annoyance. At the same time, Immortal Lady He walked in from the outside with a basket.
Han Xiangzi quickly deleted his chat with Yue Lao, then returned the phone to its original position.
Iron Crutch Li and Han Zhongli couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this, while continuing to play go.
It was like nothing happened at all.
"Celestial sovereign, I said pretty much everything I wanted to say, but that Immortal Lady He seems…"
Yue Lao stopped himself. However, it wasn't like Ye Zichen did not what he wanted to say.
Damn, isn't that Immortal Lady He too narcissistic?
Does she really think that I wanted to hit on her?
"Never mind, you don't need to bother yourself with Immortal Lady He? Don't you want to stock up? I'll give you ten percent off!"
Yue Lao, who was in the Heavenly Court, smiled. He managed to get ten percent off even when he couldn't finish the task. He really got a huge advantage.
Dingdong.
Your intimacy level with Yue Lao increased by 100. Current intimacy level: 330.
"Thank you so much, celestial sovereign."
"You're welcome."
Ye Zichen smiled, then scrolled up to the list Yue Lao sent before going to the basement.
Zhuge Kongming, who had been staying near the entrance, frowned. Then said towards Blackie, who was floating in midair, "Go and have a look."
"That's not too good, right?" Blackie hesitated. No matter what, Ye Zichen was his boss.
"If you're not going? Then I'm not going to help you nurture your soul," Zhuge Kongming shrugged, causing Blackie to instantly stop resisting.
Blackie's soul had condensed a lot more after Zhuge Kongming's nurturing. Since he had tried the benefits, it was impossible for him to give it up just like that.
"Sure, then I'll go and have a look, but if Boss Ye…"
"Just go," Zhuge Kongming lifted his head. "I just want to see what secrets Zichen-ge actually has!"
Chapter 140 - Zhuge Kongming's identity
Ye Zichen counted up the number of items according to Yue Lao's list and scanned it over.
Dingdong.
Dingdong.
Not long later, a bunch of red packets appeared on the chat with Yue Lao. After sending all of the items, Ye Zichen also stretched lazily and prepared to receive the cultivation experience.
"Blackie, why did you come here?"
Ye Zichen didn't think that there was any special issue being seen by Blackie. Humans and ghosts don't interact normally, what's more, Blackie was his subordinate, so he wasn't afraid of the secret being leaked.
"Just to come and take a look."
"Take a look if you want."
Ye Zichen nodded. At this moment, Yue Lao received all the items, then sent another message.
"Sky Sovereign, how much cultivation experience is this?"
"About a hundred thousand or so. I don't want to calculate in detail, so just give me ninety thousand with the ten percent discount."
"Okay."
Dingdong.
You received Yue Lao's red packet.
Cultivation experience x90000.
Dingdong.
Celestial position increased. Currently a Level 5 Celestial Official.
Celestial Badge: Sky Sovereign Nameless (Cultivation Experience: 91612. Total Cultivation Experience: 102500. Level 5 Official Position)
His celestial position increased once again.
But what exactly was that for?
However, he really did have tons of cultivation experience. Of course, he is still a distant away from buying those secret scriptures from the Treasure Shop.
However, if he tried his luck at the roulette…
Dingdong.
You received Heavenly Court Dog Food x1.
Dingdong.
You received Heavenly Court Cabbage x1
Dingdong.
You received Heavenly Court Soil x1.
…
Ye Zichen wanted to cought up blood. He got things worth 100 cultivation experience all three times.
It was like opening treasure chests in a video game…
Tons of losses!
Ye Zichen collected his thoughts, and eyed the celestial badge with a frown.
F*ck, he had ninety something thousand cultivation experience just now. Now, he only had sixty something thousand left.
"Celestial sovereign, then let's chat next time."
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and hurriedly stopped him when he saw that Yue Lao wanted to leave immediately after getting the products.
"Wait a moment!"
Yue Lao, who was about to go and sell the products within the celestial halls, suddenly paused, then asked in confusion.
"What other requests does celestial sovereign have?"
"How is that geezer Old Lord Taishang…"
Ever since Ye Zichen deleted Old Lord Taishang from his friend list, the two of them never talked. Ye Zichen had deleted Old Lord Taishang on an impulse. It was also because he felt that his business in the Heavenly Court would definitely be through the roof, and also due to him learning Old Lord Taishang's special medical skills!
Ye Zichen thought that he wouldn't require Old Lord Taishang's pills.
However, he could have never imagined that reviving Liu Jing would require Old Lord taishang's Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill.
Most importantly, this was a celestial leveled pill…
Ye Zichen wanted to see the situation from Yue Lao to see if he could request the pill from Old Lord Taishang.
"About Old Lord, the old daoists that refine pills all have a stubborn temper. I chatted with him about it, and asked him if celestial sovereign would step back, he could… However, he said that he won't have any interactions with celestial sovereign in the future. That's why, about half of the stuff I asked for are the stuff he wants."
Ouch.
It seemed like the situation wasn't good.
Ye Zichen scratched his head and sent a message in annoyance.
"Then does Yue lao know who I can purchase the Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill from?"
"Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill?"
Yue Lao couldn't help but to be shocked when he saw the name of this pill. This was a celestial leveled pill. There wasn't anyone else could possibly provide it outside of Old Lord Taishang within the Heavenly Court.
"Only Old Lord Taishang has it. However… Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill is a celestial leveled pill, even that geezer…"
The road to revival was truly filled with trouble. From Yue Lao's words, it seemed like even Old Lord Taishang might not be able to provide it.
If even Old Lord Taishang, one of the Three Pure Ones, could not provide it, then…
Ugh.
"How about this. Yue Lao, just help me ask Old Lord Taishang. Recently, I really need this pill."
"Then, no problem."
"Sure, that's it. Find me when you need to stock up.
Ye Zichen never thought that revival would be easy, but he didn't think that reviving someone would be so hard.
Ye Zichen scratched his head in frustration. When he raised his head, he saw that Blackie, who was behind him, was completely shocked.
"Do you feel like it's rather amazing? I feel that it's amazing as well," Ye Zichen pursed his lips and smiled. "You've been in supermarket, what do you think about the kid, Zhuge Kongming?"
"Pretty nice, quite obedient."
"I feel like the kid is quite obedient as well, but him continuing to stay here isn't going to work," Ye Zichen did not suspect Blackie of being on Zhuge Kongming's side at all. He merely sighed, "I have plenty of secrets on me, he'll find out sooner or later if he stays here. Never mind, stay here properly and protect Kongming, do you understand?"
"Understood," Blackie immediately nodded.
Seeing that, Ye Zichen waved his hand towards Blackie, "Alright, go back up."
Ye Zichen sat with Zhuge Kongming for a while longer. He only patted Zhuge Kongming's shoulder when the night arrived, then left the supermarket after giving Blackie a cue.
The moment the supermarket door closed, Zhuge Kongming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What secrets does Zichen-gege have? You should have seen it right? Tell me quickly."
Zhuge Kongming did not appear to have any ill intentions at all, it was as if he was purely curious about the secret.
"Boss, he…"
Blackie continued to hesitate. He was a true, loyal soldier while he was alive, and had never done any double-agent sort of thing.
"I definitely won't tell anyone else, and won't cause trouble for Zichen-gege. I'm just curious, so tell me."
"…"
"If you don't say it, then I won't help you nurture your soul ever again."
Seeing that Zhuge Kongming truly got hold of his weak spot, Blackie clenched his teeth after a brief thought, "Actually, Boss…"
Blackie did speak, but even though the sound of him moving his lips could be heard, no sound came out of his mouth.
"Ghost Controlling Sigil," Zhuge Kongming frowned, then searched Blackie. Not long after that, a sigil appeared in his hands.
"Now speak."
"Oh."
Blackie straightforwardly talked about what he saw underground.
Hearing that, Zhuge Kongming couldn't help but smile, "I knew Zichen-gege was someone from our side. I expect for him to be able to contact the ones in the Heavenly Court, he should be someone from the Nine Hidden Families, but…"
Zhuge Kongming frowned. He looked at the Ghost Controlling Sigil in his hands…
"This thingy should be a treasure from the ghost servants of the Underworld. Why would someone of the hidden renowned families stick such a precious sigil on you," Not long later, Zhuge Kongming was stunned as he realized. "Wait, the person that has this Ghost Controlling Sigil stuck on them cannot betray their master. You wanted to reveal Zichen-gege's secret just now… Zichen-gege stuck this sigil on you?"
"Yes!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier…"
A hint of franticness appeared on Zhuge Kongming's face. By ripping this sigil off…
"Ugh, why am I so stupid!"
Zhuge Kongming hit his head. Ye Zichen brought this ghost over, of course he stuck the sigil on.
Why didn't I think of that when I ripped it off!
At the same time, Ye Zichen, who was standing at the side of the road and waiting to take a taxi back to school, felt a sudden pain from his chest.
Ugh.
A mouthful of blood spurt out from Ye Zichen's mouth uncontrollably.
Liu Jing, who was floating beside Ye Zichen, was instantly stunned when she saw this.
"Ye Zichen!"
Chapter 141 - Do me a favor
Ye Zichen opened his eyes.
A scene of pure white entered his eyes.
The pain from his chest had already disappeared. When he thought back to the scene back then…
Why did laozi vomit blood?
"You're awake?" a soft laugh rang out beside his ear.
Ye Zichen turned his head, and saw Lin Xiyue, who was still in her police uniform, sitting at the side of his bed looking at him with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Ye Zichen sat up and looked at her with a look of confusion.
From what he remembered, he fainted when he vomited blood…
"You bumped into me?"
"What do you think?" Lin Xiyue said with a look that seemed to be hiding something. "If it wasn't for me bumping into you, you might have been eaten by a wild dog."
…
This woman's mouth was so deadly, why didn't he notice it before?
After chatting for a while, Ye Zichen asked as if he suddenly thought of something, "Is Liu Qiang still in your hands?"
"No, he has already been handed to the Ministry of Justice already. If there are no surprises…"
Lin Xiyue did not finish her sentence, but Ye Zichen already knew that Liu Qiang would most likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Then Zhao Ziming…"
He knew that Zhao Ziming is Lin Xiyue's boyfriend, but Ye Zichen just feel like that sort of man wasn't a good choice for her.
"I feel like you should break up with him quickly…"
"Then who am I supposed to be with after breaking up with him? You?"
"That's alright too!" Ye Zichen smiled, then raised his arm to flex his biceps. "Actually I'm pretty capable!"
"Be serious," Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes and sighed softly. "My relationship with Zhao Ziming isn't as simple as you think. It isn't possible for us to break up."
With that, she lifted her wrist to look at the time with a smile, "I got the hospital to do a check up for you just now, but they didn't find anything. I'm not your family, so I won't accompany you overnight here!"
Hmm?
What did that sound so weird?
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and revealed a playful smile, "Staying overnight doesn't require you to be a family member, right?"
"Then what… You…" Lin Xiyue blushed, then cursed with eyes with a hint of rage, "You! Go! And! Die!"
Lin Xiyue grabbed a pillow on the bed and chucked it towards Ye Zichen's head, before walking out of the medical ward.
"That police girl," Ye Zichen couldn't help but smile, then looked at the time.
Two in the morning.
"That female officer had been taking care of you until now," Liu Jing, who sat on the other side of Ye Zichen said softly. "You have to thank her when you have time."
"I know," Ye Zichen rubbed Liu Jing's little head, while his heart was filled with confusion.
Why did he feel a sudden pain in his chest, causing him to vomit blood then?
Could he have a hidden illness? But he had never had any kind of diseases since he was young, and Lin Xiyue had said that the checkup didn't find anything.
After finding himself unable to understand it for a long while, Ye Zichen licked his lips and jumped down from the bed.
"What are you going to do!"
"Go home. Do you want me to stay in the hospital? I can't stand this place," With that, Ye Zichen arched his back and ran outside.
"Lil' Friend Ye, you're awake?" An old man walked out from the corner of the corridor when Ye Zichen nearly reached the elevator.
Deng Cheng!
Ye Zichen felt a bit speechless when he saw this old man.
He was clearly an expert, why was he standing guard in the hospital in the middle of the night.
"Where are you going?" Deng Chen glanced at him.
Ye Zichen frowned, "Can't you tell? Of course I'm going home."
"Then did you do your discharge procedures yet?"
"Who helped me do the admittance procedures?"
"…"
The two stared at each other silently for a moment, before Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, "Alright, Officer Lin helped me do them, right? Look, I helped you with out with several troubles, just help me do my discharge procedures. I'm completely fine."
"…"
Deng Cheng continued to remain silent.
"What, you're unwilling?" Ye Zichen put his hands on his waist and spoke like an arrogant elder. "I helped you deal with two medical incidents. It could be said that I'm your savior. You should be honored helping your savior do something."
"…"
Deng Cheng continued to remain silent.
Ye Zichen felt a bit awkward due to the atmosphere. Thus, he scratched his head and patted Deng Chen's shoulders, "Comrade Deng Chen, just treat it as doing me a favor."
"Then help me do a favor as well," Deng Chen, who had remained silent, suddenly asked.
"What do you want me to help you with? Never mind if you want me to come to the hospital to be a doctor, my interests don't lie there."
"I don't need you to come here and be a doctor. A friend of mine will come to Bingcheng soon, I want you to take a look at him…"
"Me? Take a look?" Ye Zichen pointed at his nose in disbelief. "With such a senior medical titan like you here, what need do you have for a brat like me?"
"Your ability in Chinese medicine is much better than even some old people. Laddie, don't look down on yourself."
Who's looking down on himself? I just don't want to help, okay?
Ye Zichen twitched his mouth silently.
At this moment, Deng Chen spoke up once again, "I only ask you to have a look since there's no other way, just treat it as giving face to this old man, okay?"
"Ugh, I've lost. Since you told me to take a look, then I will, but don't blame me if I can't treat it."
"I am beyond thankful for you doing this."
Ye Zichen made an "ok" gesture, then waved his hand, "No problem, just find me then. You can go and find Huang Shengmei if you can't find me. I heard that you have an empty attending physician position. She's on pretty good terms with me. Pretty good! Oh yeah, I'll trouble you for the matter about the discharge procedures. Remember, Huang Shengmei is on pretty good terms with me…"
Deng Chen shook his head helplessly after hearing Ye Zichen emphasis on Huang Shengmei's name several times.
The attending physician position as going to be hers anyways. It would be hers even if Ye Zihen didn't say anything, but since he said that, there was no harm in doing him this favor.
Ye Zichen sneakily ran back home. The moment he entered the house, Lil' White ran over excitedly with his eyes shining with a green light.
"Boss, you're hurt?"
Ye Zichen was shocked when he heard Lil' White's words as he turned on the lights in the mansion, "How did you know?"
"I can see it," With that, Lil' White turned on his scanning eyes once again.
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. It seemed like these scanning eyes aren't useless at all, they just need to be slowly developed.
However…
The heck use was being able to tell that he was hurt? It wasn't like it could heal him.
Thinking that, Ye Zichen raised his hand and smacked Lil' White's head again.
"Boss, why did you hit me again."
"My hand was itchy."
"I… Fine, boss is amazing."
Ye Zichen chuckled when he saw Lil' White's troubled expression. It really was nice having such a little guy at home.
Dingdong.
Ye Zichen's phone vibrated as he laughed with Lil' White.
No one sent him a message, but there was a "1" on his friend list.
Hang Xiangzi has sent you a friend request.
Chapter 138 - The Spokesperson Yue Lao
When Bai Dahai took his wife and daughter away, Ye Zichen pursed his lips and smiled when he thought back to the scene of them meeting, "Hai-ge, thank you so much."
"You're still treating Hai-ge like an outsider," Xiao Hai frowned slightly unhappily. He poured a cup of tea for Ye Zichen and said, "Taste it, this is Da Hong Pao that Hai-ge asked people to buy at a very high price."
"You know that I don't really understand tea," as Ye Zichen gave an excuse, he took a sip from his tea cup. "Not bad."
"You only know how to say that," Xiao Hai shook his head with a smile. Then he quickly retracted his smile. "Are you sure you want to do this? The person behind Hao Wen is not normal. I feel like you already earned enough by removing the unstable factor of Bai Dahai.
"People are greedy," Ye Zichen rotated his neck meaningfully, then crossed his legs. "If I allow Hao Wen to continue on like this, he will be a worrying unstable factor for me. Since he has someone supporting him, then it isn't completely awful for me to contact the person behind him."
Xiao Hai sighed. He could feel Ye Zichen's determination just from his expression.
Although Ye Zichen kept on calling him Hai-ge, Xiao Hai did not think that he understood Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen was mysterious, and capable.
Nothing about him could be seen through.
Xiao Hai nodded with a smile as he finished his cup of tea, "Then Hai-ge won't try to talk you out of it. Just decide it by yourself."
"Haha, Hai-ge has no need to worry, I'm not a child," Ye Zichen chuckled. When he suddenly thought of Zhuge Kongming, who was in the supermarket, he couldn't help but ask. "Hai-ge, has there been any reaction to the news I asked you to spread in your circles?"
Xiao Hai was confused for a moment. After quite a while, he finally understood and said, "You're talking about that child called Zhuge Kongming?"
"Yes," Ye Zichen nodded.
This child had been by his side for too long. Although it wasn't much for him to feed this child, Ye Zichen had too many secrets, so allowing the kid to carrying on staying there wasn't going to work.
What's more, the parents who lost their child would worry!
"No news," Xiao Hai shrugged. "Both Dongfang Wenyi and I spread the news in our circles, but we didn't hear which family in the capital had a child that ran away from home."
"Then could he be from other places?"
Ye Zichen knew the reason for that kid to run away from home, so that child might have intentionally made up a false address in fear of Ye Zichen using it as a way to find his parents.
"You should be clear about how your Hai-ge does things. I did think that maybe he wasn't someone from the capital, but I didn't hear any news of children running away from home from other provinces."
…
This time, it was ye Zichen's turn to get stressed. Just what did this kid, Zhuge Kongming do?
From the looks of him, he seemed like the child of a rich family, but there was no news about him in the circles.
Could Zhuge Kongming's family's circle be different to Xiao Hai's…
Or did his parents not realize? If that's the case, then these parents are too neglecting.
Xiao Hai raised his eyebrows when he saw the troubled look on Ye Zichen's face, "How about I help you ask in other circles!"
"Then I'll be troubling Hai-ge."
Ye Zichen rubbed his head while being uncertain of what to do after leaving the Xiao family.
Xiao Yumei was a workaholic, he could barely see her free at the jewelry store, so he didn't want to go and disturb her…
Su Yan and Xia Keke both have lessons in the afternoon.
Thinking about it, Ye Zichen seemed to be only able to go to the small supermarket.
"There hasn't been anyone that has come to cause trouble at the supermarket, right?" Ye Zichen sat in the chair at the cashier's counter and smoked. To be fair, it was pretty nice having the little shopkeeper, Zhuge Kongming around.
At least someone cleans up the supermarket pretty nicely.
"No one came to cause trouble, but there were a few that wanted to buy stuff. However, I just sent them away by telling them the supermarket haven't opened yet." Zhuge Kongming took out a can of coke form the fridge, then muttered after a sip. "Zichen-ge, I have always been really curious, what's the point of opening this supermarket if you're not selling?"
Ye Zichen immediately rolled his eyes when Zhuge Kongming said this.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
"Oh," Zhuge Kongming twitched his mouth bitterly, then ran out of the supermarket to look at the sky.
Ye Zichen was also troubled as he looked at the entire supermarket, which was full of goods.
He didn't know what was going on with the Heavenly Court, but no one came to ask him to stock up. This wasn't quite like the mass sales he imagined.
Ye Zichen looked at Yue Lao's moments, the daily advertisements were very on point.
But why wasn't Yue Lao coming to him to stock up!
On the other hand, there was no need for him to think about Monkey Bro, Bajie and Erlang Shen.
According to Ye Zichen's recent observations, the three of them weren't cut out for this.
However, the more troubling aspect was Immortal Lady He….
Ye Zichen stared at Immortal Lady He's profile picture in the chat group for a long time. Only she had Nine Heart Lotus Roots.
Yet, he didn't know her, and this immortal lady just entered the group.
If he just casually adds her, it might have the opposite effect. What's more, the Eight Immortals might not want stuff like soft drinks from him…
Dingdong.
Dingdong.
Ye Zichen's phone vibrated several times at that moment.
Someone spoke up in the spokesperson group.
Yue Lao: Great deity!
Yue Lao: @Only Idealism, great deity!
Since this geezer sought him out in the spokesperson group, could there be sales?
"Here!"
"Great deity, stock up!"
At that moment within Yue Lao's home in the Heavenly Court, Yue Lao, who's hair was completely white, seemed like he hasn't rested for a long time. However, his eyes revealed an excited light…
That was a light that would only be revealed when a businessman notices profits!
"Do you want to be an agent!"
"Yes, I want to be an agent."
"Sure, private chat."
Not long later, Yue Lao and Ye Zichen started in their own chat.
Yue Lao: Great deity, this time, I need…
Yue Lao listed a long list of products and the required quantity. From the looks of it, it seemed like Yue Lao was about to open a supermarket in the Heavenly Court.
Ye Zichen calculated it approximately, it would require at least a hundred thousand cultivation experience.
This was definitely a huge deal for him. Normally speaking, he would directly send everything out.
However, he had a slight issue…
"Do you know Immortal Lady He!"
"Immortal Lady He of the Eight Immortals?"
"Yes, that's her. Do you know her?"
"Of course I do, I was the one who screwed up her relationship with Han Xiangzi back then.
…
So it was this geezer's fault.
Ye Zichen knew about Han Xiangzi and Immortal Lady He since he was young, he felt rather sorry for them since they didn't end up together. He never would have expected Yue Lao to have been the one to screw it up.
More importantly, screwing up someone else's relationship…
They shouldn't be in that good of a relationship, right?
"Then are you on good terms with Immortal Lady He?"
"I'm on amazing terms with her," Yue Lao suddenly replied.
Ye Zichen was a bit confused when he saw this message!
Wait!
Screwing up their relationship, yet being on good terms.
"You're not lying to me?"
"How would I dare to lie to great deity, my relationship with Immortal Lady He is truly amazing."
"Alright," Ye Zichen smiled. "Then introduce me to Immortal Lady He. If you succeed, then I'll give you twenty percent off whenever you need to stock up from me in the future!"
"About this…"
Ye Zichen thought Yue Lao would instantly agree, yet, Yue Lao actually hesitated.
After a long while, Yue Lao sent out a slightly testing message.
"Great deity, do you want to pursue Immortal Lady He?!"
Chapter 139 - Got silently rejected by immortal Lady He
Pursue your ass!
This geezer, Yue Lao, truly doesn't say too many things that are unrelated to this job. His very first question was whether Ye Zichen wanted to pursue her!
Does he, Ye Zichen, dare to pursue her? If he did, then wouldn't Han Xiangzi beat him to death?
He's one of the Eight Immortals, and he's a mere mortal…
"I don't want to pursue Immortal Lady He, I just want to request an item from her. Help introduce me."
"That's alright."
When Ye Zichen saw this message, he was speechless once more. What the hell? So Yue Lao wouldn't allow him if he really wanted to pursue her?
"One moment, celestial sovereign."
It seemed like Yue Lao went to find Immortal Lady He. Thus, Ye Zichen put his phone onto the table and stretched lazily.
Zhuge Kongming was very weird. He didn't have the bad habits that children his age should have.
He was very quiet and obedient.
If Ye Zichen didn't call him, then he would quietly sit at the entrance and look at the sky, thinking about unknown matters.
"Kongming, it's pretty boring staying at the supermarket every day, right?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Zhuge Kongming turned over, and instantly frowned, while his eyes seem to be on the verge of tears, "Zichen-dage, do you want to kick me out…."
I really do have this intention!
Ye Zichen thought to himself. However, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the child's pitiful look.
"Where are you going to go if I chase you away? I just wanted to ask if you're bored. If you are, then I'll bring a laptop over for you, so you can play games when you have nothing to do."
"Really? That's great!" Zhuge Kongming's eyes brightened. "If Zichen-ge can buy me a computer, that's obviously for the best."
….
So direct.
Without saying any words of wanting to decline.
"Sure, then I'll bring it over for you next time," Ye Zichen smiled, while Zhuge Kongming also nodded with a smile. "Oh yeah, want to tell me about your family and that engagement partner?"
"Don't mention it," Zhuge Kongming twitched his mouth. "There isn't much to say about my family. They count as small rich businessmen. As for that engagement partner…"
"What about your engagement partner?"
"I heard that the girl is quite a few years older than me. I've never seen her. I don't even remember her name. She seemed to be called Xia something…" Zhuge Kongming thought about it for a while. However, it seemed like he couldn't recall it, causing him to wave his hand. "Never mind, but this isn't important. I have seen her photo, she's kind of pretty, but she's not my type."
Ye Zichen had no doubt that she was pretty.
Children of large families like theirs would often look quite good, especially girls…
Even if they weren't born that way, it can be altered! Technology is so advanced now, the hospitals can satisfy you even if you want to turn into an alien.
"Why types can a little brat like. What do you know?"
"I just don't like her," Zhuge Kongming frowned.
At this moment, the phone Ye Zichen had put onto the table rang.
He picked up the phone, and gave a cue for Zhuge Kongming to go on the side, before opening his WeChat.
The first thing he did was to see if anyone added him. However, he didn't see any friend requests of Immortal Lady He.
"Celestial sovereign!"
"Celestial sovereign what? Where's Immortal Lady He?"
Yue Lao was too inefficient. Immortal Lady He didn't find him!
"Celestial sovereign, I spoke with Immortal Lady He just now, she…"
"What about her?"
"Never mind, let me send you a screenshot."
Dingdong.
Yue Lao sent over a screenshot, which Ye Zichen took a look at…
Yue Lao: Lil' He!
Immortal Lady He: I'm here!
Yue Lao: How have you been recently?
Immortal Lady He: Pretty good, I'm just a bit bored.
Yue Lao: Didn't you just enter our Heavenly Court chat a bit more in the group if you're bored!
Immortal Lady He: Yeah, it's pretty lively.
Yue Lao: Yeah, just chat a bit if you have nothing to do, improve your relationship with other celestial friends. Oh yeah, you saw that celestial sovereign Nameless when you entered the group, right?"
Immortal Lady He: That Only Idealism?
Yue Lao: Yeah, that's him.
Immortal Lady He: I saw…
Yue Lao: That celestial sovereign is a master. He lives with Taibai Jinxing.
Immortal Lady He: Really? That's pretty amazing!
Yue Lao: That celestial sovereign wants to get to know you…
…
That was where the chat log ended, and Immortal Lady He did not reply afterwards.
Ye Zichen looked over it for a while. To be honest, he didn't feel like there was anything wrong.
Yue Lao had paved the way pretty well, and also told Immortal Lady He about his position. He was unable to feel any dislike from Immortal Lady He's words…
Why did she stop speaking!
At the same time, at the Eight Immortal Manor.
Han Xiangzi clenched his teeth hatefully as he stared at Ye Zichen's profile pic in the chat group. Meanwhile, Iron Crutch Li and Han Zhongli, who were playing go, looked towards him and asked.
"What's with the expression!?"
"The brat who was newly ascended wants to chat up Immortal Lady He."
"How do you know?" Iron Crutch Li was confused.
Han Xiangzi lifted his phone in his hand and said, "I just chatted with Yue Lao for a moment using Immortal Lady He's phone, Yue Lao directly said that the celestial sovereign Nameless wants to get to know Immortal Lady He! Think about it, what could it be aside from wanting to chat her up, since Yue Lao asked in person?"
"Ol' Han, that's not quite right. It's not that good that you used Immortal Lady He's phone, right?" Han Zhongli frowned.
"We brothers know that you're interested in Immortal Lady He, but didn't your relationship get broken off before we ascended!? You two are destined to not be together, so what is this for!"
"But I'm not happy about it either."
Han Xiangzi's eyes were filled with annoyance. At the same time, Immortal Lady He walked in from the outside with a basket.
Han Xiangzi quickly deleted his chat with Yue Lao, then returned the phone to its original position.
Iron Crutch Li and Han Zhongli couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this, while continuing to play go.
It was like nothing happened at all.
"Celestial sovereign, I said pretty much everything I wanted to say, but that Immortal Lady He seems…"
Yue Lao stopped himself. However, it wasn't like Ye Zichen did not what he wanted to say.
Damn, isn't that Immortal Lady He too narcissistic?
Does she really think that I wanted to hit on her?
"Never mind, you don't need to bother yourself with Immortal Lady He? Don't you want to stock up? I'll give you ten percent off!"
Yue Lao, who was in the Heavenly Court, smiled. He managed to get ten percent off even when he couldn't finish the task. He really got a huge advantage.
Dingdong.
Your intimacy level with Yue Lao increased by 100. Current intimacy level: 330.
"Thank you so much, celestial sovereign."
"You're welcome."
Ye Zichen smiled, then scrolled up to the list Yue Lao sent before going to the basement.
Zhuge Kongming, who had been staying near the entrance, frowned. Then said towards Blackie, who was floating in midair, "Go and have a look."
"That's not too good, right?" Blackie hesitated. No matter what, Ye Zichen was his boss.
"If you're not going? Then I'm not going to help you nurture your soul," Zhuge Kongming shrugged, causing Blackie to instantly stop resisting.
Blackie's soul had condensed a lot more after Zhuge Kongming's nurturing. Since he had tried the benefits, it was impossible for him to give it up just like that.
"Sure, then I'll go and have a look, but if Boss Ye…"
"Just go," Zhuge Kongming lifted his head. "I just want to see what secrets Zichen-ge actually has!"
Chapter 140 - Zhuge Kongming's identity
Ye Zichen counted up the number of items according to Yue Lao's list and scanned it over.
Dingdong.
Dingdong.
Not long later, a bunch of red packets appeared on the chat with Yue Lao. After sending all of the items, Ye Zichen also stretched lazily and prepared to receive the cultivation experience.
"Blackie, why did you come here?"
Ye Zichen didn't think that there was any special issue being seen by Blackie. Humans and ghosts don't interact normally, what's more, Blackie was his subordinate, so he wasn't afraid of the secret being leaked.
"Just to come and take a look."
"Take a look if you want."
Ye Zichen nodded. At this moment, Yue Lao received all the items, then sent another message.
"Sky Sovereign, how much cultivation experience is this?"
"About a hundred thousand or so. I don't want to calculate in detail, so just give me ninety thousand with the ten percent discount."
"Okay."
Dingdong.
You received Yue Lao's red packet.
Cultivation experience x90000.
Dingdong.
Celestial position increased. Currently a Level 5 Celestial Official.
Celestial Badge: Sky Sovereign Nameless (Cultivation Experience: 91612. Total Cultivation Experience: 102500. Level 5 Official Position)
His celestial position increased once again.
But what exactly was that for?
However, he really did have tons of cultivation experience. Of course, he is still a distant away from buying those secret scriptures from the Treasure Shop.
However, if he tried his luck at the roulette…
Dingdong.
You received Heavenly Court Dog Food x1.
Dingdong.
You received Heavenly Court Cabbage x1
Dingdong.
You received Heavenly Court Soil x1.
…
Ye Zichen wanted to cought up blood. He got things worth 100 cultivation experience all three times.
It was like opening treasure chests in a video game…
Tons of losses!
Ye Zichen collected his thoughts, and eyed the celestial badge with a frown.
F*ck, he had ninety something thousand cultivation experience just now. Now, he only had sixty something thousand left.
"Celestial sovereign, then let's chat next time."
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and hurriedly stopped him when he saw that Yue Lao wanted to leave immediately after getting the products.
"Wait a moment!"
Yue Lao, who was about to go and sell the products within the celestial halls, suddenly paused, then asked in confusion.
"What other requests does celestial sovereign have?"
"How is that geezer Old Lord Taishang…"
Ever since Ye Zichen deleted Old Lord Taishang from his friend list, the two of them never talked. Ye Zichen had deleted Old Lord Taishang on an impulse. It was also because he felt that his business in the Heavenly Court would definitely be through the roof, and also due to him learning Old Lord Taishang's special medical skills!
Ye Zichen thought that he wouldn't require Old Lord Taishang's pills.
However, he could have never imagined that reviving Liu Jing would require Old Lord taishang's Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill.
Most importantly, this was a celestial leveled pill…
Ye Zichen wanted to see the situation from Yue Lao to see if he could request the pill from Old Lord Taishang.
"About Old Lord, the old daoists that refine pills all have a stubborn temper. I chatted with him about it, and asked him if celestial sovereign would step back, he could… However, he said that he won't have any interactions with celestial sovereign in the future. That's why, about half of the stuff I asked for are the stuff he wants."
Ouch.
It seemed like the situation wasn't good.
Ye Zichen scratched his head and sent a message in annoyance.
"Then does Yue lao know who I can purchase the Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill from?"
"Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill?"
Yue Lao couldn't help but to be shocked when he saw the name of this pill. This was a celestial leveled pill. There wasn't anyone else could possibly provide it outside of Old Lord Taishang within the Heavenly Court.
"Only Old Lord Taishang has it. However… Three Striped Soul-Clearing Heaven-Returning Pill is a celestial leveled pill, even that geezer…"
The road to revival was truly filled with trouble. From Yue Lao's words, it seemed like even Old Lord Taishang might not be able to provide it.
If even Old Lord Taishang, one of the Three Pure Ones, could not provide it, then…
Ugh.
"How about this. Yue Lao, just help me ask Old Lord Taishang. Recently, I really need this pill."
"Then, no problem."
"Sure, that's it. Find me when you need to stock up.
Ye Zichen never thought that revival would be easy, but he didn't think that reviving someone would be so hard.
Ye Zichen scratched his head in frustration. When he raised his head, he saw that Blackie, who was behind him, was completely shocked.
"Do you feel like it's rather amazing? I feel that it's amazing as well," Ye Zichen pursed his lips and smiled. "You've been in supermarket, what do you think about the kid, Zhuge Kongming?"
"Pretty nice, quite obedient."
"I feel like the kid is quite obedient as well, but him continuing to stay here isn't going to work," Ye Zichen did not suspect Blackie of being on Zhuge Kongming's side at all. He merely sighed, "I have plenty of secrets on me, he'll find out sooner or later if he stays here. Never mind, stay here properly and protect Kongming, do you understand?"
"Understood," Blackie immediately nodded.
Seeing that, Ye Zichen waved his hand towards Blackie, "Alright, go back up."
Ye Zichen sat with Zhuge Kongming for a while longer. He only patted Zhuge Kongming's shoulder when the night arrived, then left the supermarket after giving Blackie a cue.
The moment the supermarket door closed, Zhuge Kongming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What secrets does Zichen-gege have? You should have seen it right? Tell me quickly."
Zhuge Kongming did not appear to have any ill intentions at all, it was as if he was purely curious about the secret.
"Boss, he…"
Blackie continued to hesitate. He was a true, loyal soldier while he was alive, and had never done any double-agent sort of thing.
"I definitely won't tell anyone else, and won't cause trouble for Zichen-gege. I'm just curious, so tell me."
"…"
"If you don't say it, then I won't help you nurture your soul ever again."
Seeing that Zhuge Kongming truly got hold of his weak spot, Blackie clenched his teeth after a brief thought, "Actually, Boss…"
Blackie did speak, but even though the sound of him moving his lips could be heard, no sound came out of his mouth.
"Ghost Controlling Sigil," Zhuge Kongming frowned, then searched Blackie. Not long after that, a sigil appeared in his hands.
"Now speak."
"Oh."
Blackie straightforwardly talked about what he saw underground.
Hearing that, Zhuge Kongming couldn't help but smile, "I knew Zichen-gege was someone from our side. I expect for him to be able to contact the ones in the Heavenly Court, he should be someone from the Nine Hidden Families, but…"
Zhuge Kongming frowned. He looked at the Ghost Controlling Sigil in his hands…
"This thingy should be a treasure from the ghost servants of the Underworld. Why would someone of the hidden renowned families stick such a precious sigil on you," Not long later, Zhuge Kongming was stunned as he realized. "Wait, the person that has this Ghost Controlling Sigil stuck on them cannot betray their master. You wanted to reveal Zichen-gege's secret just now… Zichen-gege stuck this sigil on you?"
"Yes!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier…"
A hint of franticness appeared on Zhuge Kongming's face. By ripping this sigil off…
"Ugh, why am I so stupid!"
Zhuge Kongming hit his head. Ye Zichen brought this ghost over, of course he stuck the sigil on.
Why didn't I think of that when I ripped it off!
At the same time, Ye Zichen, who was standing at the side of the road and waiting to take a taxi back to school, felt a sudden pain from his chest.
Ugh.
A mouthful of blood spurt out from Ye Zichen's mouth uncontrollably.
Liu Jing, who was floating beside Ye Zichen, was instantly stunned when she saw this.
"Ye Zichen!"
Chapter 141 - Do me a favor
Ye Zichen opened his eyes.
A scene of pure white entered his eyes.
The pain from his chest had already disappeared. When he thought back to the scene back then…
Why did laozi vomit blood?
"You're awake?" a soft laugh rang out beside his ear.
Ye Zichen turned his head, and saw Lin Xiyue, who was still in her police uniform, sitting at the side of his bed looking at him with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Ye Zichen sat up and looked at her with a look of confusion.
From what he remembered, he fainted when he vomited blood…
"You bumped into me?"
"What do you think?" Lin Xiyue said with a look that seemed to be hiding something. "If it wasn't for me bumping into you, you might have been eaten by a wild dog."
…
This woman's mouth was so deadly, why didn't he notice it before?
After chatting for a while, Ye Zichen asked as if he suddenly thought of something, "Is Liu Qiang still in your hands?"
"No, he has already been handed to the Ministry of Justice already. If there are no surprises…"
Lin Xiyue did not finish her sentence, but Ye Zichen already knew that Liu Qiang would most likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Then Zhao Ziming…"
He knew that Zhao Ziming is Lin Xiyue's boyfriend, but Ye Zichen just feel like that sort of man wasn't a good choice for her.
"I feel like you should break up with him quickly…"
"Then who am I supposed to be with after breaking up with him? You?"
"That's alright too!" Ye Zichen smiled, then raised his arm to flex his biceps. "Actually I'm pretty capable!"
"Be serious," Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes and sighed softly. "My relationship with Zhao Ziming isn't as simple as you think. It isn't possible for us to break up."
With that, she lifted her wrist to look at the time with a smile, "I got the hospital to do a check up for you just now, but they didn't find anything. I'm not your family, so I won't accompany you overnight here!"
Hmm?
What did that sound so weird?
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and revealed a playful smile, "Staying overnight doesn't require you to be a family member, right?"
"Then what… You…" Lin Xiyue blushed, then cursed with eyes with a hint of rage, "You! Go! And! Die!"
Lin Xiyue grabbed a pillow on the bed and chucked it towards Ye Zichen's head, before walking out of the medical ward.
"That police girl," Ye Zichen couldn't help but smile, then looked at the time.
Two in the morning.
"That female officer had been taking care of you until now," Liu Jing, who sat on the other side of Ye Zichen said softly. "You have to thank her when you have time."
"I know," Ye Zichen rubbed Liu Jing's little head, while his heart was filled with confusion.
Why did he feel a sudden pain in his chest, causing him to vomit blood then?
Could he have a hidden illness? But he had never had any kind of diseases since he was young, and Lin Xiyue had said that the checkup didn't find anything.
After finding himself unable to understand it for a long while, Ye Zichen licked his lips and jumped down from the bed.
"What are you going to do!"
"Go home. Do you want me to stay in the hospital? I can't stand this place," With that, Ye Zichen arched his back and ran outside.
"Lil' Friend Ye, you're awake?" An old man walked out from the corner of the corridor when Ye Zichen nearly reached the elevator.
Deng Cheng!
Ye Zichen felt a bit speechless when he saw this old man.
He was clearly an expert, why was he standing guard in the hospital in the middle of the night.
"Where are you going?" Deng Chen glanced at him.
Ye Zichen frowned, "Can't you tell? Of course I'm going home."
"Then did you do your discharge procedures yet?"
"Who helped me do the admittance procedures?"
"…"
The two stared at each other silently for a moment, before Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, "Alright, Officer Lin helped me do them, right? Look, I helped you with out with several troubles, just help me do my discharge procedures. I'm completely fine."
"…"
Deng Cheng continued to remain silent.
"What, you're unwilling?" Ye Zichen put his hands on his waist and spoke like an arrogant elder. "I helped you deal with two medical incidents. It could be said that I'm your savior. You should be honored helping your savior do something."
"…"
Deng Cheng continued to remain silent.
Ye Zichen felt a bit awkward due to the atmosphere. Thus, he scratched his head and patted Deng Chen's shoulders, "Comrade Deng Chen, just treat it as doing me a favor."
"Then help me do a favor as well," Deng Chen, who had remained silent, suddenly asked.
"What do you want me to help you with? Never mind if you want me to come to the hospital to be a doctor, my interests don't lie there."
"I don't need you to come here and be a doctor. A friend of mine will come to Bingcheng soon, I want you to take a look at him…"
"Me? Take a look?" Ye Zichen pointed at his nose in disbelief. "With such a senior medical titan like you here, what need do you have for a brat like me?"
"Your ability in Chinese medicine is much better than even some old people. Laddie, don't look down on yourself."
Who's looking down on himself? I just don't want to help, okay?
Ye Zichen twitched his mouth silently.
At this moment, Deng Chen spoke up once again, "I only ask you to have a look since there's no other way, just treat it as giving face to this old man, okay?"
"Ugh, I've lost. Since you told me to take a look, then I will, but don't blame me if I can't treat it."
"I am beyond thankful for you doing this."
Ye Zichen made an "ok" gesture, then waved his hand, "No problem, just find me then. You can go and find Huang Shengmei if you can't find me. I heard that you have an empty attending physician position. She's on pretty good terms with me. Pretty good! Oh yeah, I'll trouble you for the matter about the discharge procedures. Remember, Huang Shengmei is on pretty good terms with me…"
Deng Chen shook his head helplessly after hearing Ye Zichen emphasis on Huang Shengmei's name several times.
The attending physician position as going to be hers anyways. It would be hers even if Ye Zihen didn't say anything, but since he said that, there was no harm in doing him this favor.
Ye Zichen sneakily ran back home. The moment he entered the house, Lil' White ran over excitedly with his eyes shining with a green light.
"Boss, you're hurt?"
Ye Zichen was shocked when he heard Lil' White's words as he turned on the lights in the mansion, "How did you know?"
"I can see it," With that, Lil' White turned on his scanning eyes once again.
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. It seemed like these scanning eyes aren't useless at all, they just need to be slowly developed.
However…
The heck use was being able to tell that he was hurt? It wasn't like it could heal him.
Thinking that, Ye Zichen raised his hand and smacked Lil' White's head again.
"Boss, why did you hit me again."
"My hand was itchy."
"I… Fine, boss is amazing."
Ye Zichen chuckled when he saw Lil' White's troubled expression. It really was nice having such a little guy at home.
