Chapter 148: I

Early the next morning.

Ye Chen was about to go out to buy groceries when he received a call.

The person calling was actually the little pepper of the Qin family, Qin Aoxue.

Qin Aoxue got through and asked delicately, "Master Ye, may I ask if you are at home now?"

Ye Chen gave a hum and said, "I’m at home. Why, do you have something to find me for?"

Qin Aoxue said, "My dad asked me to send you some medicinal materials, saying it was ordered by Miss Song Wanting. I wonder if it’s convenient for you now? If it is, I’ll send them over."

His wife Xiao Churan had gone to work on her studio, and his father-in-law had driven his mother-in-law to the Tang Chen Yipin villa to check on the renovation progress, so Ye Chen was alone at home, and it wasn't inconvenient at all.

So he said, "It’s convenient, you can come directly."

Qin Aoxue hurriedly said, "Okay Master Ye, I’ll be there soon!"

A few minutes later, Ye Chen heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Qin Aoxue, who had long black hair draped over her shoulders, was wearing a beige dress, and looked beautiful and incredibly ladylike, standing at the door, dragging a huge suitcase, with a shy face.

"Master... Master Ye, hello... I am Qin Aoxue. I wonder if you still remember me..."

Qin Aoxue was extremely nervous at this moment.

Ever since her father told her about the importance of Master Ye to the family’s future yesterday, she had been tossing and turning all night and couldn't sleep well.

In her mind, naturally, it was all about Ye Chen.

She was also at the age of a young girl’s spring.

Which girl didn't want to find a handsome, rich, and capable man to be her husband?

And looking around, in the whole world, there wasn't a single man who could compete with Ye Chen!

This was the true candidate for a peerless good husband!

Not to mention that her father hoped she could have progress with him, even if he didn't say it, she couldn't help but be fascinated by him in her heart.

Ye Chen didn't know why Qin Aoxue was so nervous. When he saw her last time, she was still very arrogant and insisted on competing with him.

How come when they met again today, it was like she had changed into a different person?

The fiery little pepper had suddenly turned into a fresh and delicious little cucumber?

So he asked curiously, "What’s wrong with you today? It seems like you’ve changed a lot from before?"

Qin Aoxue said shyly, "Master Ye, before, Aoxue was ignorant and was reckless and frivolous in front of the Master. I hope the Master will forgive me..."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "It seems the change is really quite big."

After saying that, he stepped aside and said, "Don't talk at the door, come in."

Qin Aoxue hurriedly nodded and carefully pulled the suitcase in.

Ye Chen saw that she was having a hard time pulling this huge suitcase. One had to know that Qin Aoxue was also a practitioner and had quite a bit of strength. Ordinary strong laborers might not be her opponents. Since she was struggling so much, it seemed this suitcase must be very heavy.

So he asked curiously, "What did you put in this suitcase? Why is it so heavy?"

Qin Aoxue hurriedly said, "Master Ye, these are all the medicinal materials my father prepared for you, and they are all one-in-a-million top-quality medicinal materials!"

After saying that, she laid the suitcase on the living room floor and opened it.

What met his eyes were indeed top-quality medicinal materials!

They were even top-quality medicinal materials that Ye Chen himself had no way to buy!

Ye Chen was a bit shocked and couldn't help asking, "How could your father get so many and such good medicinal materials?"

Qin Aoxue hurriedly said, "Master Ye, you may not know, but my Qin family operates many businesses, one of which is medicinal materials. Our ancestors have been medicinal material merchants since the Qing Dynasty. We have our own mule and horse teams collecting the top medicinal materials from all over the world, and then transporting them to the capital to sell to princes and nobles, and transporting them to Jiangnan to sell to rich merchants. For so many years, we have never lost this business."

As she spoke, Qin Aoxue hurriedly added, "By the way, my father asked me to tell Master Ye that if Master Ye has any needs for medicinal materials in the future, just tell us directly, and the Qin family will definitely do their best to meet Master Ye’s needs!"

Ye Chen was also surprised.

Ever since he accidentally obtained the "Nine Profound Heaven Scripture," he had been attracted by the mysteries within it. There were many skills and prescriptions for refining medicine, but he had never even heard of many of the medicinal materials.

He had been worrying about this matter, but he didn't expect that the Qin family was a century-old medicinal material merchant!

This was truly a case of "finding nowhere to look after breaking through iron shoes, and getting it without any effort"!

So he said with undisguised joy, "Good! Very good! With the help of your Qin family in the future, my medicine refining will be much easier!"

Hearing Ye Chen talk about refining medicine, Qin Aoxue hesitated again and again, gathered her courage, and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Ye Chen was shocked by her sudden action and asked in surprise, "Qin Aoxue, what are you doing?"

Qin Aoxue knelt on both knees, clasped her hands, and begged piously, "Master Ye! My father heard that you are going to refine magical medicine, and he is longing for it in his heart, so he told me again and again to ask Master Ye if, after you refine the magical medicine, you could also... also... also..."

Qin Aoxue stammered for a long time but couldn't say the words behind.

She had been pampered since she was a child, always admired and envied by others. When had she ever begged others in a low voice? Not to mention shamelessly asking others for things.

Therefore, this thin-skinned little girl was now embarrassed to say her true needs.

Seeing her stammering, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel anxious for her.

However, even if Qin Aoxue didn't say it, he understood her request in his heart.

So he said lightly, "Does your father also want a magical medicine?"

Hearing this, Qin Aoxue nodded like a garlic pounder!

Then, she hurriedly said, "If it’s too difficult for Master Ye, we will never force it!"

Ye Chen smiled.

The medicine he was going to refine for Shi Tianqi and the others, what could be called magical medicine? It was nothing more than one of the lowest-level medicines in the "Nine Profound Heaven Scripture."

This kind of thing was easy and effortless to refine. As long as there were raw materials, a bunch could be produced in minutes, faster than kneading dough and steaming buns. What the Qin family wanted was just a medicine, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

The most important thing was that he would have to rely on the Qin family to prepare medicinal materials for him in the future.

If he could take the Qin family for his own use this time and let them become his disciples, then it would be much easier in terms of medicinal materials in the future.

So, he looked at Qin Aoxue, who was shy, red-eyed, and full of begging, smiled slightly, reached out to help her up, and smiled, "If your father wants my medicine, it’s not that I can’t give it."

"Really?" Hearing this, Qin Aoxue was immediately excited and unable to restrain herself.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Of course it’s true. Even if I don't look at your father’s face, I can't refuse for the sake of a little beauty like you."

In fact, Ye Chen was just teasing.

But he didn't expect that after Qin Aoxue heard it, her heart would bump like a deer!

At this time, in order to buy people’s hearts, Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "Well, since I have a fate with your Qin family, this time when I refine the magical medicine, I will give your Qin family two!"
