Chapter 45: Ye Chen Proactively Reveals His Identity

Zhang Xiaoxiao's body was practically beyond cure; if it weren't for meeting him, Zhang Xiaoxiao wouldn't have lived much longer.

Seeing Ye Chen's expression change drastically, Zhang Hai was extremely worried and asked Ye Chen: "How is it? Is there still hope?"

After hearing Zhang Hai's words, Ye Chen lightly exhaled, stood up, and said to Zhang Hai: "Yes!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Zhang Hai's face showed excitement.

"Really?!"

"For this matter, I have no need to lie to you."

"Next, I will treat her; please step out for a moment."

"This."

Zhang Hai's face showed difficulty; obviously he was not reassured. Seeing Zhang Hai's reaction, Ye Chen was not surprised, so he sent a mental transmission to Zhang Hai.

"Older brother Zhang, if you believe me, please go out first; also, please keep this mental transmission I sent you confidential."

When Zhang Hai heard Ye Chen's mental transmission, his face was full of shock, and his heart was overcome with tumultuous waves.

"A cultivator?!"

This was the only thing Zhang Hai could think of; otherwise he couldn't explain why Ye Chen could still be heard when his mouth was shut.

He clearly saw that Ye Chen's mouth didn't move at all.

"Alright, I entrust my daughter to you."

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, he pulled Ji An and left the second floor together.

Ji An was still a bit dazed at the moment; he didn't understand why Zhang Hai, who had been worried just a second ago, now pulled him away without hesitation.

Ji An turned his head to glance at Ye Chen and Zhang Xiaoxiao, then asked Zhang Hai puzzled: "Older brother Zhang, what on earth is going on? You were still worried just a moment ago—why did you suddenly change?"

Upon hearing Ji An's words, Zhang Hai solemnly said to him: "Younger brother Ji, I call you younger brother; please listen to one more thing from me, alright?"

Ji An rarely saw Zhang Hai show such an expression, so he said to Zhang Hai with great seriousness: "Older brother Zhang, speak; I will definitely listen."

After Ji An finished speaking, Zhang Hai glanced at the second floor, then said to Ji An: "If possible, you must definitely befriend Ye Chen; remember, it is a must!"

When Ji An heard Zhang Hai's words, his face was full of confusion, and he asked Zhang Hai: "Why is that?"

However, when Zhang Hai heard Ji An's question, he merely shook his head and said nothing more, because he clearly remembered that Ye Chen had instructed him to keep it absolutely secret.

"I can't say more, but remember: befriending Ye Chen will absolutely not be a loss for you."

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, he said nothing more; while Ji An, after Zhang Hai finished, raised his head and glanced at the second floor, and even now he still hasn't figured out what exactly is going on.

He lifted his head and glanced at the second floor; he was very curious about what Ye Chen was doing now.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already caused Zhang Xiaoxiao to fall into a deep sleep.

He looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao, at this sunny, cheerful little girl, his heart filled with bitterness.

"What a fine child, yet tormented by illness to the point of being inhuman."

Ye Chen said, feeding a "Supreme Health Pill" into Zhang Xiaoxiao's mouth.

The Supreme Health Pill might be of little use to him, but for an ordinary person like Zhang Xiaoxiao, it is a miraculous elixir.

After Ye Chen fed Zhang Xiaoxiao the Supreme Health Pill, her complexion improved at a visible speed.

Seeing this, Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, there is no major problem."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he took Zhang Xiaoxiao's pulse again; this time her pulse had stabilized considerably, and the cancer cells in her body were almost gone.

Ye Chen knew that it's impossible for a human body to have zero cancer cells; of course, that's for ordinary people—if his body had cancer cells, that would be beyond the norm.

After doing these things, he placed Zhang Xiaoxiao properly, then went downstairs; when he came down the second floor, Zhang Hai spotted him at once, hurried over to Ye Chen, and asked: "How is it?"

"It's fine now; just pay attention to rest afterward."

After Ye Chen said that, Zhang Hai's heart finally relaxed.

"Then that's good; no problem, no problem."

"She is sleeping upstairs now; after she wakes up, you can take her to the hospital for a check-up."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Zhang Hai couldn't contain his excitement: "This matter truly deserves my deepest thanks; if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know what to do."

As Zhang Hai spoke, tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"A man's tears are not shed lightly, but only when he reaches the point of sorrow—this saying fits perfectly here."

"It's alright; to dispel your worries, you can take your daughter to see a doctor this afternoon or tomorrow."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Zhang Hai tightly grasped Ye Chen's hand, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Younger brother Ye, you've done me a great favor; I'll give you these medicinal materials for free, and I'll try to gather any other materials you need by tomorrow."

At this moment, Ji An, who had been listening to their conversation from the side, was full of confusion.

"When did cancer become this easy to cure? Could this Ye Chen be a quack from the jianghu?"

This is exactly what Ji An is thinking at this moment.

Ye Chen did not send him a mental transmission, so Ji An doesn't know Ye Chen's identity; his suspicion of Ye Chen is understandable, but if he knew Ye Chen's identity, he might be even more fervent than Zhang Hai.

Given that he himself deals in antiques, it's impossible for him not to be obsessed with such matters.

But Ye Chen doesn't know what Ji An is thinking; even if he did, he wouldn't pay it any heed.

Alright, I'll entrust this matter to Older Brother Zhang; I will definitely make up any shortfall in money later.

Upon hearing Ye Chen say he would make up the money he owed, Zhang Hai hurriedly said to Ye Chen: "You saying that really makes you too distant; you saved my daughter's life—no amount of money could repay your kindness, so how could I dare to take your money?"

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, Ye Chen also found it hard to refuse, so he said to Zhang Hai: "Then I'll just take a small advantage."

Ye Chen said to Zhang Hai.

"Hahaha, it's just a little money; as long as my daughter is safe and sound, that's fine. You don't know—her mother passed away early, I've been raising her alone, she is my spiritual pillar. I don't know how I'd go on without her."

As Zhang Hai spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down.

"How pitiful are the hearts of parents everywhere."

This was what Ye Chen had in mind, but the next moment he remembered his old man Ye Nan, who only knows to pressure him when playing games; thinking of that, Ye Chen flared up.

"Damn old fogey, all he does is pressure me all day; even making money isn't this tiring."

Ye Chen thought to himself.

Having said that, he suddenly glanced at the time; he still remembered he was just a kindergarten student, it was already almost four p. m., nearly time for school to let out, so he told Zhang Hai and Ji An.

"Zhang big brother, Ji big brother, I have something to do, I'll head out first; if you have anything, call me."

"I'll see you off."

Zhang Hai said; hearing that Zhang Hai wanted to see him off, Ye Chen hurriedly refused, saying: "No need, I'll just take a taxi back; help me prepare some medicinal herbs—I need them by this Sunday."

Having said that, Ye Chen didn't wait for Zhang Hai to speak, and walked straight out.
