Chapter: 5396

"There's nothing unsafe." Lin Wan Er said sincerely. "Let them not do anything, and we'll think deeply for a year or so. It's impossible for them to come up with this. I almost got caught by them before, and I had to escape into the deep mountains, only to find that I ended up studying at Jining University instead of hiding away. That's unexpected."

Old Zhang sighed and said respectfully, "Miss, please forgive me for speaking out of turn. If you choose to avoid society here in Purple Gold Manor, it would be a good choice, but if you go to university, you'll suddenly have to interact with many people, even though they're all university students. As long as your exposure increases, there will definitely be risks."

Lin Wan Er nodded slightly. "I understand this principle, but I've already run out of other options. With the resources and strength I can muster, trying to take on the Clearing Alliance is simply a fool's dream, and I don't want to hide away for life either. The only way to change my current situation is to cooperate with Shen Ye, so even if this decision has some risks, I'm willing to try it."

Old Zhang said anxiously, "I'm just a foolish old man, not knowing that you've already considered everything, Old Master, and presuming to offer advice to Miss. It's really too presumptuous..."

Lin Wan Er waved her hand dismissively. "Old Zhang, every decision has risks. What I need to do is take more risks to gain a better future. If I die because of this, I'll be content as long as Shen Ye can protect my father's ring and prevent it from falling into the Clearing Alliance's hands."

Old Zhang nodded lightly and said respectfully, "Miss, Old Master understands! Since that's the case, Old Master won't bother Miss anymore!"

... Meanwhile...

Shen Ye received a phone call from Chen Xiaohua. As soon as he answered the phone, Chen Xiaohua spoke in a low voice: "Master Shen, Elder Hong came to my grandfather's house to report something."

"Is that so?" Leaf Chen smiled slightly: "So it seems he has already broken through, what's his attitude like?"

"He's got a pretty good attitude...," said Chen Xiaohua awkwardly: "But he insists on coming to our place at Golden Pavilion to help my grandfather, and we don't really have any use for him around here, so he's just sitting in the shop right now..."

Leaf Chen laughed: "No problem, let him sit there for now. I'll go over later."

"Okay!" said Chen Xiaohua gratefully: "Master Leaf, this time I'm truly grateful to you. If it weren't for you, my grandfather's one lifetime reputation would probably be destroyed by surnamed Hong."

Leaf Chen spoke calmly: "It was just a small favor. Don't make such a fuss. Next time if we can't resolve something, I'll notify you immediately."

After finishing the phone call with Chen Xiaohua, Leaf Chen tidied up and left the house, heading to Golden Pavilion to visit Shen Ye.

At this moment, inside Golden Pavilion, Shen Ye was accompanying Chen Xiaohua as he examined patients. The shopkeeper was helping a patient who had already received medical treatment and written prescriptions, while the thin and bearded Hong Changqing was currently saying to the shopkeeper: "Hey, put down your scales and let me help you dispense medicine!"

The shopkeeper grumbled unhappily: "I just won't let you do it. What am I supposed to do?"

Hong Changqing grew annoyed: "Don't you understand respect for the elderly? Master Leaf has allowed me to come here and report to Shen Ye, so naturally I can't just sit around doing nothing! Find something for me to do, and then you can take a break for a bit. That way we'll both be happy."

"Cut it out," the shopkeeper said disdainfully: "You're thinking too much! If you want to fight, go ahead and hit me. Leaf Master will have to clean up after you when the time comes!"

"Hey!" Hong Changqing's face turned iron-green with anger, but facing this young one, he didn't dare to really take action, and could only say begrudgingly: "Young one, why not do it this way? Let us both go our separate ways, and I'll accept you as my apprentice from now on! You'll absolutely benefit endlessly!"

The shopkeeper sneered: "Who wants to be your apprentice? Do you want me to learn how to steal and cheat from you?"

Hong Changqing's face turned red with anger, pointed at the shopkeeper, and was unable to speak due to his rage.

Just then, Ye Chen walked in and teased: "Oh, Master Leaf's face looks terrible! It doesn't look good at all!"

As he heard Ye Chen's voice, Hong Changqing's tense body relaxed.

After seeing Ye Chen walk in, he immediately approached him, took two or three steps back, and knelt down on both knees. Then, with gratitude, he said: "I am your humble servant, Hong Changqing. I thank Master Ye for taking me under his wing!"

Receiving the elixir bestowed by Ye Chen, Hong Changqing went through a brief period of meditation and then smoothly entered the dreamland of the Great Round Fullness. JrNovels.com
