As a noblewoman in the capital, Mrs. Ye was well-informed. The bottles used for the ointments were entwined lotus porcelain jars, crafted with exquisite artistry, and the ointments inside must have been brought from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Guo Hao scratched his head awkwardly, exuding an honest simplicity, and picked up the white bottle to explain: "This is the finest antiseptic medicine from Dragon Tiger Mountain, along with Black Jade Discontinuity Ointment, made by the Divine Doctor of Medicine King Valley, intended for use in our mountain. After being injured, just apply a little antiseptic medicine to immediately stop bleeding."

After the explanation, he placed the white bottle steadily on the table.

He casually picked up the other black bottle to introduce.

"This is Black Jade Discontinuity Ointment, with an extraordinarily miraculous potency. Ordinary people’s injuries resulting from beatings or falls can heal with this ointment applied promptly, day or night, restoring them to normal with some pain in the process. On this visit, I haven’t brought much, and I hope madam won’t disdain it."

He was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his character bore a sense of righteousness.

Mrs. Ye stood up and hurriedly refused. It was Xiao Chen’s friends’ first visit; how could she accept their items. "You should take it back; you young people traveling outside, security isn’t what it used to be, keep it for self-defense. I’m just a woman, I have no use for it. Xiao Chen is good, and so are his friends."

Praised, Guo Hao smiled, revealing his small tiger tooth, yet his hands still refused to accept the two bottles of ointment.

In his eyes, gifts once given cannot be taken back.

Beside him, Peng Ran, who was handsome and clearly more outgoing than Guo Hao, also had more opinions, sometimes Guo Hao would heed his opinions more, said, "Mrs. Ye, there’s no need for courtesy. Senior Brother Shen’s martial arts skills are highly esteemed at Dragon Tiger Mountain, unparalleled, and he’s a role model for us junior disciples. He grew up in the Ye Mansion, and our coming here this time to follow him is a chance to meet you. These small gifts are also to thank you for your care of Senior Brother Shen."

Mrs. Ye was in a dilemma.

This...

Both sides of the youths took turns persuading, accepting or not, she was at a loss.

At this moment, footsteps were lightly heard.

The people from Tingling Garden arrived at the main hall.

Upon seeing the three visitors in the hall, especially the girl in a light green buttoned-to-the-chest ruqun with eyebrows like emerald feathers, sitting leisurely, Ye Zhi was even more annoyed.

Isn’t this Ling Que, the one who fought with her in Bronze City?

The future Vermilion Bird of the Investigation Factory as well, what’s she doing at the Ye Mansion...

What she thought in her heart, she didn’t conceal on her face, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing at my house?"

Ling Que was much more composed, stood up and said, "Here to find Brother Chen." Then she bypassed Ye Zhi, ran behind her with a smile, and sweetly said, "Brother Chen, I’ve come to find you."

The lack of contrast adds no harm.

One moment she was stern-faced, the next she was smiling like a flower.

Shen Chen nodded faintly, not responding much, which pleased Ye Zhi, who showed a smile of approval towards him.

Peng Ran and Guo Hao were slightly excited too, approached to surround him: "Senior Brother, after a year, we finally see you."

The three arrived unexpectedly!

Shen Chen was unprepared, sternly asked, "Hmm, who told you I was here?"

Ling Que, eager to talk more with him, answered quickly before the two junior brothers could speak, "It was Master Pei. Before coming, we visited the National Master Mansion and learned you grew up here and are still living here, so we rushed over to find you."
