Chapter 38 (1/2)

After five minutes, the bell rang.

Ye Chen knew that the medicinal herbs had arrived.

As soon as he had opened the door, he noticed that there were a few people standing outside the hallway.

They were not the typical porters one would expect. Instead, two of them were old people while one was a young lady.

The three of them were holding bunches of medicinal herbs in their hands; there were more of them splayed out on the ground in an orderly manner.

Ye Chen knew two of them; they were Zhu Rende and his granddaughter, Zhu Zixuan.

As for the other old man, he did not recognize him. However, he could sense that he was the same type of person as him.

“Old Zhu, don’t tell me that Virtuous Benevolence Hall couldn’t even send a worker to come over. Why did you guys come all the way here?” Ye Che asked amusingly.

Old Zhu smiled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Ye, we didn’t want to bother you at first, but we were worried that the workers would not be careful with the medicinal herbs and damage them accidentally. Therefore, I personally brought Zi Xuan and a close friend of mine to come over… If we’re troubling you, please forgive us.”

“Come on in.”

Ye Chen invited the three of them into his house.

The three of them carefully placed the medicinal herbs on a circular table in the living room.

Even though the three of them were part of the same world, they were slightly astonished after seeing the grandiose and opulent decor of the house.

The penthouses in Great Tomson had prices that not any Tom, Dick, and Harry could afford. Its prices were scarier than some of the villas in River City.

Zhu Rende thought it was a bit odd when he saw Ye Chen take a taxi just to get to Virtuous Benevolence Hall that day. However, after seeing the place Ye Chen stayed at, everything made more sense to him.

It seemed like this young grandmaster was just a humble man.

Zhu Zixuan stepped into the house, and she was slightly surprised. In her head, Ye Chen wore clothes and had a vibe that was akin to a poor man. However, it seemed like Ye Chen was in a realm of wealthiness that stretched far beyond hers.

When she recalled the day she had rattled on and insulted him about how he was just a country bumpkin, she could feel her face becoming flushed; she wished she could find a place to burrow into.

If a guy who lived in a penthouse in Great Tomson was a country bumpkin, what was Zhu Zixuan?

The three of them hauled all of the medicinal herbs inside the house. Initially, Ye Chen wanted to offer them a drink. However, out of his expectations, the place had no water because he had just moved in. It was not like he could offer them the swimming pool water to drink, right?

“Uh… I don’t stay here often so I’m sorry to tell you that I don’t have any water… How about I go downstairs and buy some for you guys?”

Zhu Rende shook his head repeatedly. “Mr. Ye, we’re not thirsty… But we actually have something we’d like to ask…”

Naturally, Ye Chen knew that they had another purpose for coming over. He sat on his sofa and bluntly said, “Go on.”

Immediately after that, Qin Yuanming jumped up to him and kneeled before him as he said, “Your humble servant, Qin Yuanming thanks thee, Grandmaster Ye for your life-saving grace!”

‘Grace?

‘Life-saving grace?’

Ye Chen was dumbfounded. Within his time frame, he had only saved one person, and that was Shen Haihua. ‘Where did this old man come from?’

“You are…”

Qin Yuanming hastily explained, “Grandmaster Ye, to tell you the truth, I am Zixuan’s master. I impart to her my martial arts skills, and you have perfected my Seven Sun’s Heart method. Other than that, you have allowed me to successfully breakthrough my bottleneck in martial arts. Now, I’ll never have to worry during practice! From this day onward, you will be Qin Yuanming’s eternal benefactor!”

Ye Chen finally understood that he had saved Qin Yuanming’s life by amending the problem in Zhu Zixuan’s cultivation method.

His whole life.

He suddenly thought of something and curiously asked, “When you called me your grandmaster, what’s that supposed to mean? Are grandmasters good?”

When they heard what Ye Chen had said, they were all stupefied. Evidently, this included Qin Yuanming and both members of the Zhu family; the granddad as well as the granddaughter!

A martial arts grandmaster who did not know the meaning of being a grandmaster?

Was he a martial arts powerhouse that was able to manipulate True Qi outside of his body?

The types of realms were taught to everyone who stepped foot into the very first class of martial arts!
