Chapter 421: No Means No!_1

"No wonder you have such abilities at such a young age."

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family didn’t take his anger out on Yin Tian just because the person who caused trouble in the Zhou Family had such a deep connection with him.

He simply nodded his head, looking at Yin Tian, and said softly, "There may have been some misunderstandings between us before. Considering the great price my Zhou Family has paid, let’s end our grudge here, okay?"

Yin Tian didn’t agree, merely responding indifferently, "All this will have to wait until after I meet my fiancée tomorrow."

"Yin Tian! Don’t be shameless..."

A middle-aged man couldn’t help yelling out.

But before he could finish speaking, he was silenced by a look from the Patriarch of the Zhou Family.

Following that, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family continued, "Good, come over tomorrow afternoon, and I will have someone take you to your fiancée."

"Acceptable."

Yin Tian nodded slightly, not refusing.

After a while, the young man returned.

Following him was an old man carrying a medicine chest.

The old man had a childlike appearance and clearly took great care of himself.

"Family Head Zhou."

The old man stepped forward to the Patriarch of the Zhou Family and said, "Forgive my incompetence, but I am truly powerless regarding Mr. Zhou’s condition."

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family waved his hand dismissively, "You’re too modest, Divine Doctor Sun. I understand the state of Xiao Liu’s health better than anyone. It’s regrettable to trouble you so late at night. That young friend is here to receive you. Please, Divine Doctor Sun, follow the young friend and leave."

Divine Doctor Sun looked at Yin Tian with puzzled eyes, scrutinizing him carefully, and realized he didn’t recognize Yin Tian.

"Young friend, who are you?"

Divine Doctor Sun asked out of curiosity, certain that he had never met Yin Tian before.

"Who I am is not important. I have come to find you because there is a very urgent matter."

"What matter?"

"It’s not convenient to discuss here, shall we head back to the Sun Family first?"

Divine Doctor Sun pondered for a moment, then finally nodded his head, "Very well."

Yin Tian and Divine Doctor Sun walked away from the Zhou Family, with the members of the Zhou Family glaring at Yin Tian, looking as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Only when Yin Tian and Divine Doctor Sun had left did the members of the Zhou Family return to the side of the Patriarch of the Zhou Family. "Dad, why did you let him go?"

"How much loss has that guy caused our Zhou Family? How can you let him go so easily?"

"Yes, with so many of us here, wouldn’t capturing him be as easy as turning our hands over?"

"And, why did you agree to let him take Xia Nianbing? She is our Zhou Family’s important opportunity to turn things around!"

Hearing his people’s words, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family let out a cold snort, "Hmph!"

Upon hearing that snort, everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family said, with an indifferent expression, "You all just think about how to take revenge on the kid, but do you understand how powerful he is now? Even I can’t fully gauge his depth."

"If we were to fight and even I couldn’t subdue him, allowing him to leave triumphantly, tell me, how could the Zhou Family continue to stay in the Inner City afterward?"

At these words, everyone bowed their heads in silence, not daring to speak.

A young man, unable to contain his anger, bravely raised his head and asked, "So are we just going to let that guy get away with bullying us?"

"Who said that?"

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family sneered, "Tomorrow, when Qian returns, and as he’ll already be in the Imperial Capital along with a few of his friends—those who all have powerful backgrounds—it will be perfect. With them taking action, regardless of success or failure, Yin Tian is bound to make enemies with them."

"Using someone else’s knife to kill, to observe from behind the safety of walls, that’s the best strategy for our Zhou Family."

Upon hearing the Patriarch of the Zhou Family’s words, everyone suddenly realized.

"So that’s it."

"Grandfather had already planned ahead."

"Father is wise. I am impressed!"

Everyone began to utter flattering words.

The Patriarch Zhou slowly turned his head, looking in the direction that Yin Tian had left, "Yin Tian, do you really think the Zhou Family is easy to bully?"

...

"Young friend, what is it that you’re looking for me for?"

Walking home alongside Yin Tian, Divine Doctor Sun, unable to hold back his curiosity any longer, asked.

Yin Tian continued walking and turned to look at Divine Doctor Sun, "It’s somewhat difficult to broach."

"What’s the matter? Do you have a problem with andrology?"

Divine Doctor Sun asked, puzzled.

Yin Tian: "..."

"No."

Yin Tian shook his head, "I’ve come to ask you for something, Old Mr. Sun."

"What is it?"

"Qingxin Lingming Grass."

Upon hearing these five words, Divine Doctor Sun immediately refused without hesitation, "No!"

"Qingxin Lingming Grass is a legacy passed down by my ancestors. If I give it to you, how would I face the forebears of the Sun Family in the future?"

"Old Mr. Sun, that plant is extremely important to me, it’s a matter of life and death. I implore you to make an exception."

"I’ve already told you, no means no!"

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the front door of the Sun Family house.

Old Mr. Sun pushed the door open with a sweep of his arm and strode in.
