Chapter 139: then translation of title

Other families' elders have personally come to apologize, so Lin Meng couldn't keep holding onto it; she smiled at Fang Fang and said:

Fang Family head, thank you for your reminder; I won't pursue Fang Siyao's matter, but I still need to take her back for strict discipline.

Fang Fang felt her face heat up from Lin Meng's latter sentence; she knew clearly who was right or wrong, so she couldn't stubbornly argue in front of so many people.

The Fang Family's generations of divine doctors are well-reputed; she wouldn't do something that smashes her own family's sign.

Let this matter drop; no one really cares about Fang Siyao lying dead on the ground.

In the end, Fang Fang couldn't bear to watch; she called two clansmen and had them carry Fang Siyao away as if she were unconscious.

After Lin Meng came to her senses and wanted to find that White Daoist to talk, the person was already gone from this place.

Hearing the Guan master say, the White Daoist recently gained some insight from his Dao comprehension and will go into overnight meditation.

Therefore Lin Meng didn't bring up the sparring matter again.

Although the blessing ceremony ended, many people still lingered in Xiao Nantian.

They had been waiting for Lin Meng from afar, waiting in the parking lot, and finally waited for Lin Meng and Ye Chenjing to come out together, with Dong Jiaxu and Fang Fang following beside them.

Dong Jiaxu never managed to interject a word, and was furious at his own inadequacy.

Meanwhile Fang Fang only chatted a few sentences with Ye Chenjing; when she mentioned buying medicinal materials, Ye Chenjing brushed it off.

But Fang Fang was somewhat urgent.

"Little Ye, help me communicate more with that mysterious medicinal materials merchant; see if we can sell me some Wild Ginseng alone."

"Mysterious medicinal materials merchant? Are you talking about me?"

Lin Meng perked up her ears; the Fang Family head is renowned abroad, already high-ranking and powerful, yet because of seeking medicine, she lowered her posture greatly.

If she knew that mysterious medicinal materials merchant was right beside her, who knows what reaction she'd have?

Ye Chenjing furtively glanced at Lin Meng, saw her expression normal and unmoved, so he could only continue acting as the agent.

After thinking, he said:

"I will convey the Fang Family head's sincerity, but you also know that Wild Ginseng shouldn't be circulating in the market; the fact that they have some is already very rare."

Fang Fang immediately responded, "Understood, understood; as for price, my Fang Family will have no second thoughts; that old lady will patiently wait a bit longer—one Wild Ginseng can save many lives..."

Lin Meng listened, but thought inside, those lives saved are only the rich's; ordinary people can't afford Wild Ginseng.

It's a pity that in this world, things are priced according to value; the rarer the resource, the harder it is for ordinary people to reach.

Fang Fang said goodbye to Ye Chenjing, and specially gave Lin Meng a friendly nod before leaving.

After the Fang Family head left, those wealthy families still thinking about the peace talisman swarmed over.

Lin Meng immediately shoved the peace talisman into Ye Chenjing's hands, spreading her hands to the crowd.

"Sorry, the peace talisman went to General Manager Ye; if you want to buy, go find her—I won't interfere."

After saying that, Lin Meng patted her butt and left.

That peace talisman was indeed useless for her; fortunately Ye Chenjing had helped her a lot, and this time he had actively invited her to attend the blessing ceremony.

Giving the peace talisman directly to him for free, Lin Meng didn't feel she was losing out.

Ye Chenjing looked at the peace talisman still warm in his hand, then at Lin Meng's carefree departing back, smiled helplessly, and there was a hint of indulgence deep in his eyes.

He half-informed, half-boasted to the crowd:

"Sorry, she gave me the peace talisman; I'm not selling it."

Ye Chenjing, with his long legs, took a step and left the crowd an aloof, tsundere-like back view.

Watching the peace talisman finally end up in the hands of Ye Chenjing, that aloof young top star, everyone completely gave up their hopes.

"Ah, missing out on the peace talisman this time, the next person probably won't get it until half a year later."

"Forget it, this Ye Family member is not to be provoked; trying to get something from him is harder than snatching life from King Yama's hands."

"But it's really strange—what exactly is the relationship between Miss Lin and General Manager Ye? Saying they're lovers doesn't seem quite right, but saying they have no relation at all, I don't believe it."

"That Miss Lin has an outstanding demeanor; perhaps she's a low-key wealthy family's miss? The woman Ye Chenjing can bring by his side—she's the first."

"……"

The guests dispersed, Xiao Nantian returned to tranquility.

In the alchemy room, only the two Bai brothers.

The Guan master recalled today's blessing ceremony, thought a bit, and said to the White Daoist beside him:

"Brother, do you feel that the girl who got the peace talisman today is somewhat different?"

The White Daoist opened his eyes; although his pupils were unfocused and he was old, he was exceptionally spirited.

He steadied his gaze and said:

"You noticed too? I probed today; she says she's not an outsider to the Fang, but her aura makes even me feel wary."

The Guan master exclaimed in shock, "Even you feel wary? Then she must be incredibly formidable!"

The White Daoist shook his head, very cautious.

"Maybe I'm mistaken; after all, she's too young."

But the Guan master suddenly thought of something, his face tensed, and he carefully leaned close to the White Daoist's ear and muttered a few words.

The White Daoist suddenly widened his eyes, muttering to himself.

"You mean those people? Probably not; they haven't appeared for several generations, and few people know about them..."

Ye Chenjing escorted Lin Meng home; all the way, he clenched the peace talisman in his palm, treating it like a treasure.

Lin Meng, upon seeing it, couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"General Manager Ye, you also cherish your life this much? Looks like giving you this peace talisman was indeed the right choice."

Ye Chenjing, hearing that, was suddenly stunned, looking at Lin Meng in puzzlement.

"You really want to give it to me?"

Even though the Fang Family head had reminded her, "This talisman is indeed useful; keep it for yourself, wear it close to your body normally."

Ye Chenjing decisively returned the peace talisman to Lin Meng; the talisman is precious and indeed can ward off disaster, and Lin Meng only feels at ease when she carries it.

Lin Meng, however, threw the talisman back to Ye Chenjing.

"Forget it; I gave it to you in front of all these people—how could I ask for it back?"

"Besides, to be frank, this peace talisman is useless to me; your life is precious, so keep it—consider it my gift to you, and you owe me a favor."

"How can that be?"

The peace talisman was stuffed back into Lin Meng's hand by Ye Chenjing again.

"How could it be useless for you but useful for me? This was originally yours—keep it safe."

Ye Chenjing allowed no objection, firmly refusing to take it.

Lin Meng stared at the peace talisman in her palm, momentarily speechless.

Saying that to Ye Chenjing, she doubted he'd believe it, but she couldn't say it either, since she herself had cultivated immortality and this peace talisman only works for mortals.

The driver, Uncle Fu, watched the two in the back seat mutually deferring with a smile, having long seen through their intentions.

This is because they each value the other's safety more than their own, which is why they keep pushing this peace talisman back and forth.

It seems the Ye family is about to have good fortune; Old Ye Director will finally rise to prominence.

"Forget it, I'll still give it to you; I really have no use for it. Look, my grandfather left me a nine‑eyed heavenly pearl—this thing works far better than a peace talisman."

Lin Meng pulled out the nine‑eyed heavenly pearl from her chest, and Ye Chenjing glanced at it, inwardly complaining.

He knows the Lin family's situation—Lin Meng's grandfather is so poor he's in debt—could this nine‑eyed heavenly pearl possibly be genuine?

Only Lin Meng would believe that old man's nonsense.
