Chapter 410: He’s Merely A Slave of Mine!
Whirr…
As the helicopter hovered above the base, the giant propellers were humming. Meanwhile, the crowd that was up to 100 strong on the ground lifted their heads one after another to look at it.
“We’re here, Mr. Ye!” Li Ying took a good look at the members down there and turned her face to look at Ye Chen. She reminded him coldly, “Mr. Ye, I risked my career to get you here. I hope that you won’t disappoint me!”
“You guys will find out whether you’ll be disappointed or not!” Ye Chen closed his eyes to rest, not caring at all.
Li Zewei secretly scoffed as he watched Ye Chen. ‘I’d like to see how the people down there are going to tear you apart when you fail to treat the Dragon King later.’
He knew the people from the Dragon Soul very well. All of them were elites chosen from the military. With high standards, they were rather conceited. They were not fools. They were proud and confident.
If they found out that Ye Chen was the so-called miracle doctor, all of them might attack him.
Li Ying secretly shook her head while urging the pilot to descend. The strong wind created by the propellers blew a portion of gra.s.s on the ground away.
Meanwhile, the noise of the discussion was getting louder.
“Wasn’t Sister Li going to hire a miracle doctor? Why did she bring a young man? Don’t tell me that this guy is a miracle doctor!”
“Look at him. He’s only 20. How is he a miracle doctor? He wouldn’t be one even if he started learning medicine when he was still in his mother’s womb!”
“What nonsense is she pulling by getting such a person to treat our leader?!”
“We’ll teach that guy a lesson later…”
Meanwhile, the man with the square face who was standing aside looked grim as he was getting triggered. Next to him, Old Zhang had mockery on his face. He paused when he saw Ye Chen while he secretly scoffed.
‘I thought they’re hiring some G.o.d! I can’t believe it’s a childish brat!’ He secretly shook his head. ‘I was worried earlier, but it seems like I was overthinking!’
As the helicopter landed, everyone went after it and surrounded it. The man with the square face walked out among the crowd and said to Li Ying with an unfriendly expression, “Xiaoli, so he’s the expert that you hired?”
The rest too were taking a good look at Ye Chen in an unfriendly manner.
Just when Li Ying was going to explain herself, Li Zewei, who was next to her, took the lead to speak, “That’s right. He’s the so-called miracle doctor!”
He emphasized the term ‘miracle doctor’ as if he was worried that they would not get it. Gloat filled his eyes.
The crowd gasped as soon as they heard that. Although they speculated that, they still thought it was unbelievable despite Li Zewei’s confirmation.
“What’s this, Sister Li? What’s wrong with you? Which part of this guy looks like a miracle doctor?”
“That’s right. This guy looks weak and sickly. He might be ill himself. How is he going to treat our leader?”
“Get him out. This is the Dragon Soul, not a place for any Tom, d.i.c.k, and Harry, especially scammers!”
Li Ying’s pretty face changed upon hearing the people’s discussions. She never expected them to have such a great reaction. Li Zewei smirked, showing an expression that he expected that to happen. He could not help but look at Ye Chen by instinct. However, Ye Chen appeared calm as if he did not hear the crowd’s complaints.
“Xiaoli, you must be kidding me!”
Even the man with the square face could not help but condemn her. He said in a straightforward manner, “You don’t believe in Old Zhang, but you believe in a young man. Are you out of your mind?”
If he was not such a calm person, he would have gotten someone to chase Ye Chen out right away.
Li Ying explained immediately, “Captain Dong, it was Old Chen who recommended Mr. Ye. Old Chen said that he can refine medicinal pills, so I suppose he has great medicinal skills too.”
“Which Old Chen?” Captain Dong asked, “Old Chen from the military?”
“Who else if not him!?” Li Ying nodded.
Captain Dong frowned and took a good look at Ye Chen. “You can’t just believe it even if it was Old Chen who recommended him. This is a serious matter after all. Moreover, how do you know if he can refine medicinal pills just because Old Chen says so?”
He could not help but turn his head to ask Old Zhang behind him as he spoke to this point, “Old Zhang, do you know this man?”
To him, since Old Zhang was the grandmaster of China who knew many people and came from the medical field, he should know if Ye Chen was really an expert.
Old Zhang did not even look at Ye Chen. He shook his head lightly with his eyes closed. “I admit that I have an excellent connection, but it’s my first time seeing this little brother. I’ve never heard of his name.”
He opened his eyes and looked at Ye Chen in an intimidating manner. “So, you can refine medicinal pills? Can you prove it to me?”
‘I’ve been living for so many years, and I think that I’ve got a deep understanding of Chinese medicine. I’m even called a grandmaster, and I wouldn’t dare to say that I can refine medicinal pills. However, this brat dares to say that he can refine medicinal pills?’
“That’s right. He will prove himself as soon as he shows the medicinal pills that he’s refined.”
The rest reacted too.
Li Ying could not help but glance at Ye Chen nervously.
Ye Chen chuckled softly as the people stared at him. “Indeed, I can. But why must I show them? Why must I prove myself?”
“If you don’t prove yourself, it’s impossible for us to allow you to treat our leader.” Captain Dong grinned as he thought Ye Chen was just pretending to be tough.
Old Zhang added, “From what I know, the Spiritual Medicine Mountain is the only sect in the entire China who can refine medicinal pills. Little brother, are you a Spiritual Medicine Mountain disciple? What kind of relations.h.i.+p do you have with Yao Huayuan?”
“Yao Huayuan? He’s merely a slave of mine!” Ye Chen shrugged and said, “It was you guys who begged me to come here. I didn’t come here myself shamelessly. Please get your facts right!”
The people were enraged to hear his claims.
“I can’t believe that he says we begged him. What a mad brat! We’re already so mad. I can’t believe there’s someone who is madder than us!”
“It’s alright to be mad, but you need to be worthy to be mad. Brat, why don’t we spar? I’ll make you bleed as red as the flowers.”
Li Ying could not help but feel p.i.s.sed off when she realized that Ye Chen had enraged the people. When she was trying to mediate the situation, another helicopter flew over from far.
Joy filled Captain Dong’s face at the same time. “Xiaomao and the rest have returned!”
Before this, he had listened to Old Zhang’s suggestion after Li Ying left. He then sent two people to the Spiritual Medicine Mountain in Ganzhou to invite the sect leader, Yao Huayuan, over.
As the helicopter landed, two men and a woman walked out of it. The woman looked rather old, but she refused to be held. She walked with a stick and would cough occasionally.
Captain Dong, Old Zhang, and the rest went over immediately. Old Zhang was rather shocked as he asked, “Are you Ms. Yao?”
He heard that the Spiritual Medicine Mountain had offended a cultivator back then which caused the cultivator to attack the Spiritual Medicine Mountain and perform a method to take Yao Huayuan and Yao Bingyue’s years of life away. He did not believe that, but he changed his mind when he saw her with his own eyes now.
He could not believe there was such an expert in this world!
“Stop your nonsense. Where’s the Dragon King? Bring me to him!” Yao Bingyue coughed a few times while holding the walking stick. It seemed to be strenuous for her to walk. If not for Dragon Soul giving her a handsome reward this time, she would not have left the Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
“Wait!” Just when Old Zhang was going to nod, he noticed Ye Chen who was behind him and suddenly said, “Ms. Yao, let me introduce you to someone.”
“Who’s that?” Yao Bingyue was impatient.
Old Zhang revealed a sly smirk. “This man is here to treat the Dragon King too. He says he can refine medicinal pills. He even says that Brother Yao is his s-slave!”
