Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 281 - 147 Chen Yi, Your Face is Really Thick_4

Now it seems that even Immortal Cultivation Families have their share of hardships which only high-ranking members of these families can truly understand.

Chengyu didn’t tell me because he didn’t want to break our nearly 40-year-old friendship,

But for some minor favours, Chen Yi was willing to extend a helping hand.

“Then I should thank you, Doctor Chen. In the coming days, I will be living in the cave mansion that Chengyu rented out,

If Doctor Chen has any news, he can find me through Chengyu.”

After saying this, Zhao Chongwen and Liu Changsheng left again in a low-key manner. Upon exiting the door,

Liu Changsheng helped Zhao Chongwen up, pretending they were there for a medical consultation so as not to draw the attention of either the Tan Family or the Wu Family.

…

Before Chen Yi went to the Ye Family residence, he diligently practised the Restraint Skill dozens of times at home, reducing the intensity of his Vitality and Blood,

And concealed the Mana and Daoist rhymes, and the rhythm of his Vitality and Blood, that should all be hidden at the bottom of the Nine Nether.

That girl Ye Huanhuan has a naturally sharp Divine Sense. Back when she was at the Mid-stage Qi Refining level, getting close to Chen Yi allowed her to detect the Vitality and Blood coursing within him,

And now that she had reached Foundation Establishment, her Divine Sense had become even more powerful. With her personality, she would undoubtedly probe Chen Yi without any consideration for politeness,

This was also why Chen Yi did not wish to meet high-level leaders,

Encountering reasonable ones was fine, as they generally did not investigate the details of juniors. But when meeting those who are curious and don’t value the feelings of junior cultivators, their attitude is: If my Divine Sense has seen something, what are you going to do about it?

Having made all necessary preparations, Chen Yi arrived at the Ye Family residence,

“This junior, Chen Yi, requests to see senior Ye Huanhuan of your esteemed clan. I have met senior Ye on Spirit Fish Island before. I would appreciate if you could pass along the message to her.”

Chen Yi handed over a few spirit stones and a porcelain bottle containing a Gold Body Pill to the cultivator at the gate.

“Doctor Chen, the master of our house invites you inside.”

Not long after, Chen Yi was ushered inside by a maid.

Having passed a series of pavilions and buildings, Chen Yi arrived at a small courtyard, as soon he entered, he was hit by a surge of rich spiritual energy.

At least the intensity of a Second Tier, mid-grade spiritual vein!

Chen Yi analysed in his mind.

In the courtyard, a tall girl in white clothes and pants sat with her eyes closed, forming seals with her hands,

A cold light flew up and down in the air, wherever it passed, rocks and soil was cut open like tofu.

The Ye Huanhuan of today had shed her youthful liveliness and appeared more solemn and murderous.

Chen Yi stood at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time, only bowing his head in salute after Ye Huanhuan had retrieved her flying sword:

“This junior, Chen Yi, pays his respects to senior Ye.”

“Chen Yi, I remember you; you are the Turtle Alchemist who exchanged a pill furnace for three pills.”

Ye Huanhuan eyed Chen Yi and spoke lightly.

“What are you here for? Let me tell you beforehand, if it’s about Tan Feng picking on you, I can’t help you. The favour you owed from those three pills is far from enough to cover this.”

For some reason, Ye Huanhuan was also aware that Tan Feng was interested in Chen Yi’s servant. Although the Ye Family was stronger than the Tan family, Tan Feng was a Foundation Establishment disciple of Qinglong Island. Without a significant reason, Ye Huanhuan was unwilling to provoke such a person.

She was the one who spoke first, blocking this path for Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was taken aback, and understood the implications. His wariness towards Tan Feng increased by another notch. This guy must have spread some rumours in some places; otherwise, Ye Huanhuan, who also belonged to the upper echelons of Wangyue City, would not have known about it.

“Senior Ye, I, Chen Yi, did not come here because of Tan Feng. It’s because the Zhao Family Island wants to secretly buy a Second Tier, top-grade defensive array from you for protective purposes.”

Seeing that she was unwilling to engage in further conversation, Chen Yi did not waste words either so as not to waste a high-level cultivator’s time and invite displeasure.

“Second Tier, top-grade array?”

“Hmph!” Ye Huanhuan looked displeased,

“That thing is the fundamental foundation of our Ye Family. Once an array is sold to someone, it cannot be sold to a second party,

Do you think a tiny favour like gifting a pill would get me to give away one of my family’s arrays?

Chen Yi, you really have a thick skin!

Brokering this deal on behalf of the Zhao Family, do you think you, who is at the peak of Body Refining third layer, are worthy?”
