Seeing Ye Chen's sincere invitation, Qin Aoxue nodded and followed Ye Chen into the villa happily.

After entering the house, Ye Chen invited Qin Aoxue to sit on the sofa in the living room, then took out a tea set and brewed a pot of tea for her.

Qin Aoxue carefully held the tea Ye Chen had brewed and said: "By the way, Master Ye, I went to see Sister Wanting two days ago!"

"Oh?" Ye Chen asked curiously: "Did you go to her company or her house?"

"Went to her house," Qin Aoxue said: "I was worried that Sister Wanting would be in a bad mood after experiencing so many things, so I went to her house to see her."

Ye Chen nodded. Remembering that ever since he solved the Song family crisis and let Song Wanting regain her position as the heir of the Song family, he hadn't had time to go see her, so he asked Qin Aoxue: "How is Wanting's state now?"

Qin Aoxue tilted her head and said: "Sister Wanting's state is quite good."

As she spoke, she remembered something and hurriedly said: "By the way, Master Ye, Sister Wanting has an Akita dog at home, very purebred and very cute. I don't think there's another Akita in all of Jin Ling with such good bloodlines. She said it was a gift from your friend?"

"Right," Ye Chen smiled: "When I was in Japan a few days ago, I took her to stay at a Japanese friend's house. That Japanese friend had quite a few Akita dogs at home. Seeing that Wanting liked them, he gave her one."

Qin Aoxue's eyes were full of envy as she said: "Sister Wanting's Akita is named Xiaoyou, and she's a girl. I've already agreed with her that when Xiaoyou grows up and has a litter of puppies, she will give me one!"

Ye Chen smiled: "Then you have to wait at least a year."

Qin Aoxue said: "It's okay, a year will pass quickly."

As she spoke, she asked Ye Chen again: "By the way, Master Ye, do you have time in the next few days?"

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Is something the matter?"

Qin Aoxue said somewhat shyly: "It's like this... Ever since I defeated Ito Nanako in the competition last time and won the championship, I have been practicing hard at home, but I always feel that my progress is slow. I think the main reason is that I don't have a senior coach to teach me hand-in-hand. So if you have time, I would like to invite you to sit at my home again and give me some guidance. I don't know... I don't know if it's convenient for you, Master Ye..."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's a small matter. How about this: after I finish refining the medicine, I naturally want to invite everyone to sit together and have a meal, and send the medicine to everyone by the way. At that time, I will trouble your father to prepare a banquet at home and invite everyone to gather at your house. I will go over a few hours early to give you some guidance."

Upon hearing this, Qin Aoxue was overjoyed and said: "That's really great, Master Ye! In that case, I will tell my dad when I go back and let him prepare the best banquet at home!"

Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, do you know who gave Sister Wanting that Akita?"

Qin Aoxue shook her head: "Sister Wanting said it was your friend, but she didn't say who exactly."

Ye Chen smiled: "It was Ito Nanako, whom you defeated in the competition."

"Ah?!" Qin Aoxue exclaimed and blurted out: "It was her?"

Ye Chen smiled: "That's right, it was her."

Qin Aoxue hurriedly asked: "Master Ye, how is Ito Nanako's injury? Last time in the competition, I didn't control the effectiveness of the pill you gave me well, so I accidentally injured her. I don't know how she is recovering..."

As she spoke, Qin Aoxue felt somewhat guilty and sighed: "Actually... actually, Nanako's strength has always been much stronger than mine. The championship of that competition should have been hers. I relied entirely on the divine medicine you gave me, Master Ye, to improve my strength in a short time. Although I won the competition, I didn't win it very honorably..."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Aoxue, there's actually nothing honorable or dishonorable about it. Competition is about one's own strength and everyone's mastery of the rules. Although part of your strength relied on the pill to improve, that also belongs to your personal strength. Moreover, you passed the doping test of the competition completely, proving that you didn't take any prohibited substances, so everything is in accordance with the competition rules."

After saying this, Ye Chen added: "It's just like the black-tech bionic shark-skin swimsuits that swimming athletes used to participate in competitions."

"This kind of bionic high-tech swimsuit can greatly reduce the resistance of swimming athletes in the water. Including American swimming stars like Phelps, they relied on shark swimsuits to break 14 world records in just one month, and Phelps alone won more than twenty Olympic gold medals."

"Naturally, this also included the help of such swimsuits, but at that time, the competition rules didn't explicitly prohibit such swimsuits, so people won their gold medals with peace of mind, and there was nothing dishonorable about it."

Qin Aoxue nodded lightly and said: "I understand what you mean..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Competition is about playing by the rules, so you don't need to have any psychological burden in this regard. Not only should you not have any psychological burden, but you should also continue to participate in such international competitions and strive to win glory for the country!"

Qin Aoxue hurriedly said: "Okay Master Ye, Aoxue will definitely go all out in the future and strive to win a few more championships!"

As she spoke, Qin Aoxue looked at the time and said somewhat shyly: "Master Ye, you must have things to do in the afternoon, so Aoxue won't disturb you anymore. Please don't forget what we just agreed on..."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, after I refine the medicine, I will contact your father."

Qin Aoxue nodded, stood up, and said respectfully: "Master Ye, then I'll take my leave!"

Ye Chen also stood up and said: "I'll see you out."

After seeing Qin Aoxue out and watching her leave, Ye Chen took the medicinal materials she had sent and returned to his bedroom on the second floor with Xiao Churan.

The medicinal materials Qin Aoxue sent were enough for him to refine a batch of healing pills and a batch of Rejuvenation Pills.

The healing pills were of no use to him anymore, but such medicine still had great efficacy for ordinary people. Song Wanting met with misfortune in Japan, and it was relying on that pill that she saved her life.

Therefore, refining a batch of such pills and giving them to Qin Gang, Wang Zhenggang, Li Tailai, and Shi Tianqi could be considered his return for the gifts they sent before the New Year.

As for the Rejuvenation Pill, Ye Chen also planned to refine another batch, one of which would be given to Qin Gang, and as for the rest, they could be kept for emergencies.

In one afternoon, Ye Chen refined thirty ordinary healing pills and thirty Rejuvenation Pills.

Looking at this batch of newly refined pills, Ye Chen suddenly thought of his mother-in-law, Ma Lan, at some moment.

In fact, for such a small external injury as a broken leg, at most a quarter of a healing pill would be enough to make her jump around.

And he had thirty of them in his hand.

Calculated, it was enough for her to break her leg one hundred and twenty times.

At this moment, Ye Chen also hesitated whether to reward her with some medicinal residue to let her recover early.

But after thinking about it, he immediately dismissed the idea and muttered: "Forget it, she doesn't deserve it!"

Just as Ye Chen finished refining the pills, Du Zhenhua, far away in Yan Jing, called Lai Qinghua, who was on the other side of the ocean.

Lai Qinghua was over a hundred years old, but because he had taken the Rejuvenation Pill, his physical state was still very robust.

He generally woke up at five o'clock in the morning, practiced a set of Tai Chi, and then a set of Five-Animal Boxing, in order to achieve the purpose of strengthening his body.

After practicing boxing, he would go to his study and use three ancient coins to simply cast a hexagram for himself.

Divination with three ancient coins is the most commonly used method of the Six-Yao Eight-Trigrams.

Unlike most Feng Shui masters, these three ancient coins of Lai Qinghua are almost all treasures among ancient coins.

The largest one is the priceless Three-Hole Spade of the Warring States period.

The remaining two are the extremely rare Tai Xia Zhen Xing in the world.

Many people who have played with ancient coins for a lifetime may not have the opportunity to see one of them.

Just as he finished casting a hexagram and was contemplating the hexagram presented by the few copper coins in front of him, Du Zhenhua's call came through.

Lai Qinghua answered the phone and smiled slightly: "I was wondering why the hexagram today showed that an old friend was coming, while the inner image seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. I didn't expect your call to come through."

Du Zhenhua sighed: "Master Lai is indeed a master of divine calculation. I admire you, I admire you!"

Lai Qinghua laughed: "Zhenhua, there's no need for such flattery between us. What's the matter calling me so early?"

Du Zhenhua hurriedly said: "Master Lai, it's like this. I have a granddaughter who has been wanting to find her savior, but she hasn't found any clues for a long time, so I want to ask you to help cast a hexagram and give her some hints. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

Lai Qinghua laughed: "Your granddaughter knows how to repay kindness. Since that's the case, give me her birth date and time, and tell me the general clues about her being saved, and I'll cast a hexagram to see."

Du Zhenhua hurriedly told Lai Qinghua Su Zhiyu's birth date and time, as well as the time and process of her and Su Zhifei being kidnapped in Japan.

Lai Qinghua muttered to himself: "The incident happened in Japan. Japan is to the east of China. In Feng Shui, the east is the Azure Dragon position..."

As he spoke, Lai Qinghua counted on his fingers, then grabbed the ancient coins on the table, closed his eyes, shook them in his palm for a moment, and then threw them out.

Looking at this, his brows immediately furrowed, and he said: "Strange! Zhenhua, in your granddaughter's hexagram, there is actually a sign of seeking the dragon!"

"Seeking the dragon?!" Du Zhenhua asked in surprise: "Master Lai, what do you mean by seeking the dragon?"

Lai Qinghua said sternly: "Seeking is to search, and dragon is the true dragon. This hexagram shows that the person your granddaughter is looking for has an extremely strong fate and is not simple at all!"
