Chapter 24 So That’s What He Likes

Ye Liuxing's brow furrowed, his dangerous gaze falling on Agui behind Situ Yunfeng, clearly blaming him for letting someone in so casually.

Agui, of course, knew his young master was angry. He spread his hands helplessly, revealing a black card.

He found it baffling that the Heavenly VIP card, rarely seen, was appearing in such numbers today. Even if he wanted to stop them, he wouldn't dare.

Upon seeing the Heavenly VIP card in Agui's hand, Ye Liuxing understood everything.

The Heavenly VIP card was called so not only because its holders enjoyed the greatest discounts and best services, but also because it conferred the rights of a guest elder of the trading firm.

Agui was merely a receptionist; how could he possibly stop a guest elder?

He waved his hand, signaling Agui to retreat, and stepped forward himself, cupping his fists. "Young Master Situ's esteemed presence graces Fengyun Trading Firm; it is truly an honor!"

To be honest, Ye Liuxing had met Situ Yunfeng once before, but it was only a fleeting encounter, so he hadn't recognized him at first.

It was only after Huo Qinghe sent him a telepathic message that he realized the person before him was actually the young master of Medicine King Valley.

Although Medicine King Valley's strength was comparable to Liu Yun Sect, its influence and fame were on par with the four great families like the Ye family.

This was because everyone in Medicine King Valley was skilled in medicine.

Imagine, whether ordinary people or cultivators, who doesn't get sick or injured at some point? When sick or injured, don't they need a physician? So, who would dare offend a group of physicians?

Furthermore, the old valley master of Medicine King Valley, Situ Jinglei, was the only person capable of alchemy in the four empires. All the small and large families and powers were eager to curry favor, so who would dare provoke Medicine King Valley?

Therefore, although Medicine King Valley was located in the remote Tianqi Kingdom, its status was transcendent.

Situ Yunfeng, as the young master of Medicine King Valley, was only young but his medical skills had already reached the pinnacle, and he was even vaguely touching upon the threshold of alchemy. This was why Situ Yunfeng possessed a Heavenly VIP card for Fengyun Trading Firm.

Situ Yunfeng replied with a grin, "Young Master Ye is too kind! Situ Yunfeng has come uninvited today, please forgive me, Young Master Ye!"

When he saw Ye Lingyuan, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He produced a wine jar from somewhere, tossed it to Ye Lingyuan, and said, "Ah Yuan, how have you been?"

Ye Lingyuan grabbed the wine jar from mid-air, holding it steadily. A smile surfaced on his face as he teased, "Situ, we haven't seen each other in days, and you've only become more flamboyant."

He and Situ Yunfeng shared a life-and-death brotherhood, so their conversations were naturally informal.

Situ Yunfeng's face darkened. Could the word "flamboyant" be used to describe him? Sudancn.com

"Ah Yuan, I was just delayed by something. Do you have to make fun of me like this?"

Ye Lingyuan laughed and cursed, "Since you know you were delayed, why are you here now?"

Situ Yunfeng looked a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who had broken his promise. Now that he was caught red-handed, even with his thick skin, he felt a bit remiss.

However, the matter of Qingfeng's injury was not suitable for discussion in front of outsiders, so he changed to telepathic communication. "Don't worry, regarding Qingfeng, I've already sent my junior sister ahead. She should have arrived at the manor by now."

Ye Lingyuan glanced at him, also telepathically replying, "That's more like it. It seems you haven't lost your mind."

Situ Yunfeng chuckled and continued telepathically, "Ah Yuan, to be honest, I met an interesting woman on my way here. I've been chasing her ever since!"

Ye Lingyuan raised an eyebrow, staring at him incredulously for a moment, then telepathically said, "I'm quite curious, what kind of woman could make you, who's so afraid of women, chase after her like this!"

Ye Liuxing, being experienced, knew they were communicating telepathically, but Zi Linling looked at the two of them exchanging glances with a bewildered expression.

However, she soon relaxed, thinking to herself, "No wonder this King of Hell doesn't allow women near him; he's into that! I wonder who this man in red is, that he can make this ice-cold King of Hell look at him with favor?"

If Ye Lingyuan knew Zi Linling's thoughts at that moment, he might have erupted in fury and killed someone.

Just as Zi Linling's imagination was running wild, Situ Yunfeng took a sip of wine, extended his slender index finger, and suddenly pointed at her, saying, "It's her!"

He didn't use telepathy for these three words; he shouted them out directly. At once, the entire place fell silent.

Situ Yunfeng didn't care if others were stunned. He arrogantly walked up to Zi Linling and said, "Little Lingling, from now on, if you need any medicinal herbs, just tell this young master, and I guarantee you'll have plenty!"

However, he failed to notice Ye Lingyuan's face darken, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint.

Ye Liuxing, on the other hand, tightly clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands. His usually harmless face was also filled with gloom.

Both of them stared intently at Situ Yunfeng's every move, as if he were a big bad wolf luring away a little white rabbit.

Zi Linling was stunned by this sudden scene. She didn't know the man in red at all!

She quickly searched the original owner's memories again and concluded that the original owner didn't recognize him either.

This was strange. Since neither she nor the original owner knew him, why was he calling her "Little Lingling"?

Was he just being overly familiar?

Looking at Situ Yunfeng before her, Zi Linling's wariness intensified, as Du Lao had told her that this man was also a Hua Yuan realm expert.

Although not as monstrously at the peak of the Hua Yuan realm as Ye Lingyuan, he was still at the mid-stage of the Hua Yuan realm.

Zi Linling thought to herself, what kind of luck was this? When others transmigrated, they encountered rookies around their own level, but why did she have to meet only big shots?

She cautiously took two steps back and asked, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Situ Yunfeng proudly smoothed a lock of hair hanging over his forehead and said, "This young master is Situ Yunfeng, the debonair and handsome young master of Medicine King Valley. You can call me Situ! As for knowing each other? We know each other now, don't we?"

"Young Master of Medicine King Valley? Situ Yunfeng?"

Zi Linling raised an eyebrow, drawing out her words, "Oh... never heard of it!"

In fact, the original owner's memories did contain information about Medicine King Valley, but it was very little.

The original owner only knew that Medicine King Valley was similar to Liu Yun Sect, a great power superior to the Tianqi, Jinxia, and Qionghua three kingdoms. Every three years, they would select geniuses with medical talent and train them in the valley.

Situ Yunfeng was taken aback. This was the first time he had been treated like this. However, he quickly recovered, smoothed the lock of hair over his forehead again, took a swig of wine, and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Interesting! Very interesting!"
