“Alright.” Ford quickly left the room.
After Ye Leng’an tidied up, he sat down and heard a knock on the door.
She did not need to guess to know who it was. She leaned lazily on the sofa and did not get up, replying directly, “The door is unlocked. Come in!”
The door was pushed open and Huangfu Ruiling entered.
“Yo!” Ye Leng’an raised her eyebrows when seeing the person who had entered.
She smiled and teased, “Why aren’t you sitting in a wheelchair today?”
Huangfu Ruiling was not angry when she heard Ye Leng’an’s teasing. He just said lightly, “There’s only you and me on this floor. There’s no need to pretend. ”
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s explanation, Ye Leng’an felt a little strange, but it disappeared immediately. She smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Zhongyu Yiran to be so infatuated!” She actually dragged her body all the way overseas.”
There was a hint of joking in her tone. Of course, there was also a hint of seriousness in it. She was telling the truth. Zhongyu Yiran’s body was already very weak. Even after a period of recuperation, there was not much improvement.
“She didn’t come for me.” Huangfu Ruiling sat down on the sofa opposite Ye
Leng’an, and then slowly said, “She came here for the same reason as you.”
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words, the laziness on Ye Leng’an’s body immediately disappeared. She sat up straight, frowned, and said, “She’s also doing this for the auction? She wants the Seven Star Flower?”
Yes, Ye Leng’an’s target this time was the Seven Star Flower. This Seven Star Flower was no longer an ordinary medicinal ingredient, but a spirit herb. One had to know that a spirit herb like the Seven Star Flower was very rare even in the cultivation world. It was even more difficult to find a Seven Star Flower in the modern world that lacked spiritual energy.
So when she heard that there was a Seven Star Flower in the auction, she was tempted.
“That’s right.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded, “Or rather, she is not the one who wants the Seven Star Flower. She is here to bid for it on behalf of someone else.”
“Ordinary people won’t be able to use this Seven Star Flower at all!” Ye Leng’an had a flash of inspiration. “Are they from the Hidden World?”
It was impossible for ordinary people to know the preciousness of the Seven Star Flower. They would only treat the Seven Star Flower as a rare item. However, those who knew alchemy knew that this Seven Star Flower was a rare spiritual plant. Therefore, the person who wanted to obtain the Seven Star Flower could only be someone from the Hidden World.
“That’s right, it’s the Hidden World’s alchemy aristocratic family, the Ye family.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded and replied, “If the people from the Hidden World’s aristocratic families want something from the outside mortal world, it will not be so easy. Of course, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin and not conducive to cultivation, so they do not bother to come. Most importantly, they feel that there is no need to make the trip personally.”
“The Ye family?” Ye Leng’an didn’t know much about the Hidden World. “Do they specialize in alchemy?”
“That’s right,” Huangfu Ruiling said, “The Ye family is an alchemy family. Of course, their family is also very good at medicine. However, this time, the person who asked Zhongyu Yiran to help bid for the Seven Star Flower was not from the Ye family’s main line, but from a branch of the Ye family. That person is acquainted with Zhongyu Yiran!”
Generally speaking, those who knew alchemy were all physicians. After all, the prerequisite for alchemy was to be proficient in medical theory. However, people who were proficient in medicine might not necessarily know alchemy. Therefore, it was easy to find a doctor with superb medical skills, but it was rare to find a good alchemist.
“Then their relationship should be quite good.” Ye Leng’an smiled and said, “After all, to be able to make Zhongyu Yiran drag such a body across the sea and travel a long distance to participate in the auction abroad, you can imagine their friendship.”
“It’s just an exchange of benefits.” Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently, “Zhongyu Yiran needs medicinal pills to nourish her body, and the other party needs this spiritual plant.”
Ye Leng’an understood. ‘The other party probably thought that people in the mortal world didn’t know the Seven Star Flower at all, so it was impossible for them to spend a lot of money to bid for the Seven Star Flower. That was why they asked Zhongyu Yiran for help!”
However, that was the truth. If she hadn’t come this time, it would have been easy for Zhongyu Yiran to bid for the Seven Star Flower. It was a pity that the Ye family’s people had made a wrong guess. Therefore, their plan was destined to fail this time.
Huangfu Ruiling nodded and said, “If you don’t want to see Zhongyu Yiran, I can let her stay in a hotel later.”
He did not feel anything about Zhongyu Yiran coming over in his name. Perhaps, Zhongyu Yiran’s existence was nothing special to him.
“No need!” Ye Leng’an blinked and smiled. “But which room is she staying in?”
If they lived on the same floor, it would be a little awkward to meet each other!
“She doesn’t live here.” Huangfu Ruiling explained, “She lives in the guest building next door.”
“Then it seems that we’ll run into each other often.” Ye Leng’an was a little surprised. “I think she probably doesn’t know that I’m here for the Seven Star
Flower!”
From the looks of it, she and Zhongyu Yiran should be considered competitors.
“You will know when the time comes,” Huangfu Ruiling replied lightly.
After resting, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an also came to the dining room, ready for dinner.
Huangfu Ruiling sat in the wheelchair again. Ye Leng’an pushed him downstairs.
Downstairs, Ye Leng’an saw that Li Yi was no longer in the living room. However, Zhongyu Yiran was still there. She sat alone on the sofa as if she was in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
When she saw Huangfu Ruiling, her eyes lit up. However, when he saw Ye
Leng’an pushing the wheelchair behind Huangfu Ruiling, her eyes darkened.
At this moment, Ye Leng’an felt like he was an evil mother-in-law who was trying to break up a couple. After imagining such a scene in her mind, she couldn’t help but shiver.
“What’s wrong?” Huangfu Ruiling could feel Ye Leng’an’s strange behavior behind him and could not help but ask.
“I’m fine. I just let my imagination run wild.” Ye Leng’an stuck out her tongue and replied with a smile, “In the end, I was disgusted by the things I imagined.”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s explanation, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t say anything more. However, a trace of gentleness flashed in his eyes. However, it was fleeting, happening so fast that even if one saw it, one would suspect that it was an illusion.
Zhongyu Yiran pursed her lips, her eyes flickering with a dark light..
