Chapter: 1714
Ye Chen nodded slightly: "Thank you for your guidance, the young master has learned something."
Lai Qinghua hastily waved his hand, saying: "Don't mention it, Ye little master! I'm just a humble man, and our paths have crossed. I don't know if we'll ever meet again in the future, but if you need my services, I can cast your horoscope for you."
Ye Chen had an unconscious urge to agree, but after thinking for a moment, he still shook his head and said: "Old master, there's no need to predict the future. As someone with a stubborn disposition like me, my fate is likely to veer off course if I gaze into the unknown too early. It would be better for me to take things slowly and go at my own pace."
Lai Qinghua was utterly stunned.
For many years, he had been revered as a top-notch diviner, with countless people eager to consult him, willing to sacrifice anything to get his predictions right. He had seen it all – from the highest to the lowest, from the most prosperous to the most destitute.
However, even among these numerous visitors, there were still many who refused to have their fortunes told. But he was seeing Ye Chen for the first time, and Ye Chen's complete lack of interest in knowing what the future held was truly a rare sight.
In shock, Lai Qinghua couldn't help but look at Ye Chen with newfound respect.
So, he bowed to Ye Chen and said, "Ye young master, I suppose we'll have the pleasure of meeting again!"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded his head, saying, "Old sir, may your journey be smooth!"
When they returned to the parking lot, everyone was looking at the two with a puzzled expression, not understanding what this old man and young boy who had just met for the first time could have talked about for so long.
Lai Qinghua knew Ye Chen didn't want to reveal his identity, so he directly told the person in charge of security, "Trouble me to prepare a car. I'll tidy up my luggage, then send myself to the airport."
The man was surprised and asked, "Old master, are you leaving now?"
Lai Qinghua nodded and smiled, saying, "Four years have passed, and I've already completed my promise to your family's head, so it's time for me to go back."
The man hurriedly said with great respect, "Old master, don't you want to visit Ye family and see the family head? Or shall I notify the family head to come see you?"
The person in charge of security had a very clear understanding, that the old sir from the Ye family held him in extremely high esteem.
Ye Chen's grandfather was only 69 years old this year, while Lai Qinghua was already over a hundred years old.
Just as Lai Qinghua was called back from abroad by his family, he was arranged to live in Ye's mansion. Every day, people would attend to him with great care, but after Ye Ling Shan was built, Lai Qinghua insisted on moving out and living here.
It wouldn't be right for him to let the old master, over a hundred years old, stay at Ye family's ancestral tomb, no matter how well-prepared it was. There were even designated areas for work and residence, but he still felt that it couldn't be allowed.
Despite his efforts to persuade Lai Qinghua, he was determined to move here.
Because he had been waiting for the right opportunity, waiting for the door of life to open, waiting for Ye Chen's appearance and receiving the elixir of immortality from him.
Now that four years have passed and the opportunity has arrived, it's time for me to leave.
So he told the person in charge: "Trouble notify your family head, saying I've kept my promise to them, and I've been away too long. I miss home now, so I won't be saying goodbye. If there's any good luck, let's meet again on the rivers and lakes!"
After that, he patted the air with his hands, looked at Ye Chen for a moment, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Then he turned around, raised his head, laughed loudly, and exclaimed: "I'll laugh out the door as I leave! As my generation, we're not humble people!"
After saying that, the person had already taken a step out and was walking away. JrNovels.com
