Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 73: A Little Girl Blocking The Way

"Young friend, you have shown kindness to these two and as well as to this simple wanderer. Although I do not hold any great powers as them, I won’t hesitate when it comes to help, so feel free to visit me any time," Wei Sun spoke with a kind tone.

Ye Chen had given everyone here an opportunity, which was to witness the tribulation. No matter his medicine skills or alchemy skills, he was grateful towards him.

Of course, like Su Qiming and Hong Fang, he also wanted to support him for personal reasons.

Hearing the three, Ye Chen neither displayed shock nor a pleased expression. He just nodded with a faint smile and said a few words appreciating their intentions.

Su Qiming, Hung Fang, and Wei Sun were a bit disappointed when they saw Ye Chen remaining calm; however, they also approved of this nature.

After all this, Ye Chen won’t suffer a loss, especially if someone is making empty promises just to get some benefits from him.

Of course, they were not referring to themselves but to others who would come to know his ability in the future.

"Xiao Chen, you won’t mind if I talk with little girl Zhen Yunqi and Jing Xiao for a while, right?" Su Qiming inquired suddenly.

Since he wanted to support Ye Chen, he, of course, had to support his sect as well as the rumored wife.

Although he knew such rumors were not true, it was better to believe it since Ye Chen talked to her in an intimate way.

Jing Xiao understood what the old man Su was thinking, and she couldn’t help but grit her teeth, especially after seeing her childhood friend giving her a good glance.

However, she didn’t deny it since she was happy to get help. She was, after all, not Zhen Yunqi, who didn’t care about her sect at all.

"It would take some time, so why don’t you three go back or stroll around the city?" Zhen Yunqi suggested after some thought.

She really didn’t care about the sect; however, she had to gather natural treasures for Ye Chen as well as sell herbs grown by him. Who could be a better buyer if not for these three?

Especially since she can even give a good excuse that he needed these natural treasures for his alchemy formation; as for herbs, she can make any reason, such as discovering an abandoned herb garden at the back of the mountain range.

"Hmm, okay then, I will go back with Xiao Mei and Xiao Ming," Ye Chen replied as he understood what she wanted to do.

After that he said a few words to everyone, which shocked them; however, he didn’t care and took his leave with Li Mei and Lan Ming.

"Old Su, you better be careful and don’t let out any news," Hong Fang spoke with a grave look.

Wei Sun and Jing Xiao nodded in agreement and recommended keeping a tight eye on everything.

Just now Ye Chen had revealed Su Ying possessed a thunder special physique. It was a happy thing at first; however, when Ye Chen inquired about the person who had almost succeeded in treating her, everything changed.

Because the reason that person failed to treat her was not the Nether Beast egg but the Thunder Physique’s self-defense.

Although Ye Chen didn’t know what that person did, he was sure he must have come with ill intentions; hence, he warned Su Qiming about it.

"Don’t worry; I will make arrangements today," Su Qiming spoke with a serene look, but anyone could see his eyes were filled with anger.

How could he not be angry after learning someone had tried to harm his daughter? He swore once he found that old woman, he would tear her into pieces.

"Ying’er, you are tired because of the changes in the body, so go and rest; we will talk later," he suggested, after which he took everyone else into a meeting room where they would discuss important things.

Now Su Ying was alone, left in her room, looking into the distance with a complex gaze. No man had ever seen her body; even the medicine experts who came were not allowed to treat her unless they proved they could do it.

But everyone else failed to do so except that old woman and Ye Chen.

Moreover, there was also something she couldn’t understand, and that was the purple lighting in her body, which displayed liking towards Ye Chen.

If she knew Ye Chen had used his blood essence in refining the pill, she would understand, but no one told her this; hence, she remained puzzled.

…

Just as Ye Chen came out of Su Ying’s courtyard, a handsome figure followed him silently.

He was none other than Su Ming, who got instructions from his father to ensure the safety of Ye Chen and his companions.

There were, after all, many cultivators outside the Su family estate; who knows if someone will try something?

"Brother Chen, that old man Su doesn’t have any good intentions towards you," Lan Ming complained with a pout.

Although she didn’t mind Ye Chen having other women, it was different if other women married him because of family arrangements.

In this cultivation world, the marriage was complicated, and there were even ranks between women. She and Li Mei won’t care about this much as long as they can stay with Ye Chen.

However, it was different for women who married him for their family profits. This might even cause his backyard to burn; after all, women were proficient in burning things.

"Xiao Ming, let’s forget about that old man; he can’t do anything to me. However, what about your grandfather? Are you sure he won’t be angry after knowing you are strolling with me rather than setting up the stall?" Ye Chen questioned as he pinched her pouty cheeks.

"Humph! I will let him know who I am if he really dares to be angry with me," Lan Ming stated without any shred of fear.

After which she shrewdly started to inquire about the treatment of Su Ying. Li Mei also joined, asking a few questions here and there.

Su Ying was, after all, a beauty, and they both couldn’t help but get reminded of how he treated Jing Xiao.

However, could they really get Ye Chen to speak about what they want?

Of course not!

All Ye Chen told them how hard the disease was and what complicated needle technique he had to use.

Failing to get an answer, both Lan Ming and Li Mei were dissatisfied, but before they could speak, the carriage they were riding came to a sudden stop.

The three of them couldn’t help but look outside only to discover the gate of the Su estate filled with a lot of people.

Of course, no one dared to stop them except a sixteen-year-old little girl with a cute angry face.

"Ye Chen! Get out and face me! I know you are inside the carriage!" The little girl shouted with hatred as if he had wronged her and killed everyone in her family.

Lan Ming and Li Mei couldn’t help but look at Ye Chen with a dubious expression, wondering if he sneaked out at night to bully some little girls.

"Hey, I am not that kind of person," Ye Chen rolled his eyes at the two and stopped the coachman from taking action.

He wanted to know what was going on; moreover, there was finally something entertaining.

Maybe someone had ordered the little girl to falsely accuse him. How could he just ignore this? He had to get to the bottom of this.

Hence, he didn’t hesitate and walked down from the carriage.

Li Mei and Lan Ming also followed him silently.

They didn’t believe Ye Chen would do something like harm little girls, so they were curious about what the little girl wanted from him or if she was sent by someone.

"You finally have the guts to come down! Good, now we should settle everything at once!" The little girl roared and took out a long red whip.

The onlookers who were watching the drama couldn’t help but perk up. They were here for information but also for entertainment like this.

Behind the gate of the Su estate stood a handsome figure watching everything. However, Su Ming didn’t have any intentions of taking action. He even stopped city guards from stopping the little girl.

’Let’s see what right you have to get protected by me,’ he thought with a dissatisfied look.

He was, after all, a nascent soul cultivator with a status of city lord. Yet his father didn’t hesitate to assign him as Ye Chen’s bodyguard?

How could he tolerate this?

Of course he wasn’t an impulsive person. The little girl was in the fifth stage of the Qi gathering realm, same as Ye Chen. Only after finding this did he make such a decision.

’You can cure my big sister, so you must have this ability; if not, don’t blame me for not saving you.’ Su Ming thought to himself.
