Chapter 2787: Charcoal in the snow

When Lin Wan'er was moved by Ye Chen's actions, Ye Chen said very seriously to the three old men, "Three old gentlemen, after taking the Rejuvenation Pill this time, the three of you will live to be over a hundred years old. In order not to cause too much suspicion from the outside world, Mr. Qiu might as well invest in a medical research institution. In this way, when the outside world questions why you don't grow old, it can be considered a plausible explanation."

Qiu Yingshan said without hesitation, "Young Master Ye, don't worry, I will definitely invest in a few more similar enterprises and institutions."

Ye Chen nodded and said to Sun Zhidong, "Old gentleman Sun is in a high position, and suddenly has such a change, so you should also pay attention and don't cause too much suspicion."

Sun Zhidong said without hesitation, "Young Master Ye, I have decided not to return to Yan Jing anymore. From now on, I will stay by Miss's side with Old Zhang to serve her."

Old Zhang also smiled and said, "I have always been by Miss's side, and I have almost no contact with the outside world, so it will be safer relatively."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Three of you, prepare in advance. When you take the Rejuvenation Pill next time, you three might have to start living in seclusion."

These three people are already in their nineties. If they take another Rejuvenation Pill, their life span will reach one hundred and fifty years. At that time, it will definitely attract world attention.

And Ye Chen's words also made the three of them excited.

They originally thought that Ye Chen could give them a Rejuvenation Pill, which was already their blessing and good fortune for several lifetimes, but they didn't expect that Ye Chen even planned a second Rejuvenation Pill for them!

Lin Wan'er was also pleasantly surprised at this time, and hurriedly said to the three, "Hurry, hurry, thank Young Master Ye for the blessing again!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said hurriedly, "Forget it, forget it, thanking once is enough, I can't stand being thanked so often."

As soon as the voice fell, the three old men said in unison excitedly: "Thank Young Master Ye for the blessing!!"

Ye Chen was helpless, and just as he didn't know what to say, he suddenly received a call from Chen Zekai.

Ye Chen signaled to the others before answering the phone. Chen Zekai said on the other end of the phone, "Young Master, the Boeing 777 you are monitoring has taken off from Buenos Aires again!"

Ye Chen frowned instantly and asked, "Where is the route they applied for?"

Chen Zekai said, "The route is the same as before, flying to Australia first."

Ye Chen's heart tightened instantly.

He didn't know that at this moment, it was morning in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Wu Feiyan, who hadn't left the station for many years, was alone on that ultra-long-range Boeing 777 private jet, intending to go to Myanmar.

Hearing that the other party's current route was Australia, Ye Chen's first thought was: "Could it be that Wu Feiyan saw through my empty city strategy so quickly?" 【2787

Lin Wan'er, on the opposite side, heard the content of Ye Chen's inquiry to Chen Zekai and immediately said to Qin Ao and the three, "The three of you go down first; I still have matters to discuss with Young Master Ye."

The three hurriedly stood up, respectfully bid farewell to the two, and then left the top-floor villa together.

After the three left, Lin Wan'er hurriedly asked Ye Chen, "Young Master, I heard the content of Young Master's phone call just now; could it be that the Anti-Qing Society's plane has taken off again?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said, "It's the same plane, and the destination is still Australia. But they are definitely using Australia as a springboard, flying to Australia first to refuel, and then immediately flying to Asia. It is very likely that they are still coming to China."

As he spoke, Ye Chen asked her, "Miss Lin, in your opinion, could it be that Wu Feiyan has seen through my strategy?"

"Unlikely." Lin Wan'er said very solemnly, "Young Master brought out the portrait of the Master, which is enough to make Wu Feiyan keep her distance. She has no way to confirm the authenticity behind it, and she doesn't even dare to confirm it, so I believe she will definitely not send anyone to Jin Ling again."

Ye Chen frowned and said, "Then what do you think this plane is carrying, and where is it going?"

Lin Wan'er said, "As for this, I dare not speculate rashly."

Having said that, she added, "No matter who is on this plane, as long as their final destination is not Australia, they will definitely apply for the flight path for the next leg of the journey before arriving in Australia. It takes at least twelve hours to fly from Buenos Aires to Australia, so where this plane is ultimately going will likely be clear in about eight hours."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, "It seems I will only know tomorrow morning."

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and comforted him, "Young Master need not worry too much. Based on my understanding of Wu Feiyan, she will definitely not come to Jin Ling again. Perhaps this plane is carrying other people to other places to carry out other missions."

Ye Chen gave an 'en' and said, "Thinking too much now is useless. I'll know where this plane is going in eight hours. If they are coming to Jin Ling, I will at least have more than ten hours to prepare."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said, "When there is any further action from the other side, please notify me immediately, Young Master."

"Okay!" Ye Chen agreed readily and said, "Miss Lin, it's getting late, I won't disturb you any further."

Lin Wan'er immediately said, "Then I will see you out, Young Master."

As she spoke, she remembered something and said to Ye Chen, "Oh, that's right, Young Master, please wait a moment."

Just as Lin Wan'er finished speaking, she stood up and ran quickly up the stairs.

Soon, she came down holding something wrapped in a red cloth and handed it to Ye Chen, saying earnestly, "Young Master, inside this is the piece of lightning-struck wood from the Mother of All Tea. I have carried it with me for so many years, but I could only use it as a memento. Previously, Young Master said there was a magic tool that could summon heavenly thunder, which I imagine must have been destroyed when Earl Changsheng self-detonated. I will give this piece of lightning-struck wood to you to refine into a magic tool!"

Ye Chen looked at the object in Lin Wan'er's hand, feeling incredibly surprised in his heart.

He had originally been thinking in his heart whether he could ask for this lightning-struck wood from Lin Wan'er's Mother of All Tea.

After all, this was a tea tree that had once survived a heavenly tribulation. Not only was its own Daoist cultivation profound, but this lightning-struck wood had also been struck by heavenly thunder from the tribulation. If he used it to refine a Thunder Command, its power would definitely be much greater than the Thunder Command he had before!

It just so happened that he had no magic tools left now, only Lin Wan'er's ring, and he was in urgent need of a magic treasure that could be used for attack. Lin Wan'er's lightning-struck wood came at just the right time and could solve his pressing need.

Therefore, he didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Wan'er and said very gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Lin. This lightning-struck wood is truly like charcoal in the snow; I am currently lacking materials to refine magic tools!"

Lin Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Young Master, this lightning-struck wood has indeed become charcoal, just don't burn it up, Young Master."

Ye Chen said with a smile, "That goes without saying! I will refine it well when I go back tonight and re-refine a Thunder Command!"

Lin Wan'er nodded, handed the lightning-struck wood into Ye Chen's hand, and said earnestly, "Being able to be transformed into a magic tool in Young Master's hands, this piece of lightning-struck wood can be considered to have found its final destination."

Ye Chen held the lightning-struck wood in his hand and simply channeled a bit of spiritual energy into it. He could immediately feel the surging energy within it that could not be described in words, as if he were in a primeval forest in spring, with infinite vitality right before his eyes.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "It really is the lightning-struck wood of the Mother of All Tea... Just this piece of lightning-struck wood alone makes one feel it is unfathomable!"

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly, "It is best if it is useful to Young Master; it was not in vain that I carried it with me for over three hundred years."

Ye Chen said gratefully, "Miss Lin, rest assured, I will not let this piece of lightning-struck wood down and will definitely do my best to forge it into an extraordinary magic tool!"

Lin Wan'er nodded and smiled, "That would be even better!"
