Chapter 52: Ye Chen visit Gu Yunqi

Three days later, at a café near Jiāxīn Garden, Ye Chen and Lin Xiyan sat facing each other.

“You’ve recovered so quickly?” Lin Xiyan asked, somewhat stunned, looking at Ye Chen sitting opposite her.

She couldn’t detect the faintness in him anymore. Although he hadn’t fully regained his strength, he seemed mostly restored. Did he possess some special constitution? It had only been three days, and Ye Chen had seemingly been resurrected from near death.

“It’s all thanks to the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Dew Pill master gave me,” Ye Chen said with a wry smile, not hiding anything. Lin Xiyan was smart; even if he didn’t say it, she would have guessed it soon enough.

“Master is really partial...” Lin Xiyan mused with a hint of jealousy in her voice. All seven sisters had joined the sect earlier than Ye Chen, but in the end, the master gave the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Dew Pill to Ye Chen.

They hadn’t even seen it. She knew of the miraculous healing effects of the pill, no wonder Ye Chen recovered so quickly.

“So, are you here to give me the formula for the Beauty Pill?” Lin Xiyan asked with anticipation.

“Um...” Ye Chen nodded. Despite reluctance in his heart, he pulled out an ancient formula and handed it to Lin Xiyan. After all, he had promised her and couldn’t go back on his word.

Lin Xiyan’s hands trembled as she held the formula, her heart pounding with excitement. With the formula for the Beauty Pill, her Lin family might ascend to the top echelons of Jiāng city.

She didn’t doubt whether Ye Chen would give her a fake formula; despite their average relationship, she was his senior sister, and she believed he wouldn’t deceive her.

“One day... I will stand at the pinnacle of this city!” Ye Chen vowed as he stepped out of the café, gazing at the surrounding skyscrapers.

In the vast city of Linjiang, he had no place to call his own. He must succeed, if not for anything else, then for himself.

“Mr, I’m heading to the Blue’s Bar,” Ye Chen hailed a taxi and directed it towards his destination.

Arriving outside the Blue’s Bar, Ye Chen paid the taxi fare and got out. He had learned from Lin Xiyan that his third senior sister often spent her time drinking in her bar.

“Sorry, sir, our bar is not open during the day,” the security guard at the entrance politely stopped Ye Chen, looking at him as if he were a fool.

Doesn’t he know bars don’t operate during the day? What was he doing at a bar in broad daylight?

“I’m not here to drink. I’m looking for your boss, Gu Yunqi,” Ye Chen replied with a smile, not offended by the guard’s actions. Having been humbled by past experiences, he now respected basic human decency.

“And what do you need our boss for?” the guard asked suspiciously, knowing that if the boss had an appointment, they would usually be informed in advance.

Moreover, Gu Yunqi had a slight aversion to men, so most visitors were women. Those who fancied themselves as charming and tried to approach her usually ended up ‘disappearing’.

“I’m her junior brother. Please let her know I’m here. She’ll see me,” Ye Chen assured.

“Alright, wait here then,” the guard hesitated but decided to inform her, aware of Gu Yunqi’s unpredictable nature.

If this guy really was her junior brother and he didn’t let him in, he’d be in trouble. He also knew about Gu Yunqi’s history of apprenticeship and that she had only recently taken over the family business.
