263: Chapter 263 Taking Over the Herb Field

"That's quite true."

Beside her, Jing Yue also nodded. Since this Qishan Villa now belonged to her brother-in-law, why would he even need to knock?

Then, a maid went over to open the door.

Opening the door, she looked at the people outside. "Are you here to see Lord Ye?"

"Yes."

Yue Ling and the others quickly replied.

Hearing this, Zhou Lingxue and the others walked over and looked at Huang Bai and his group.

They naturally knew Huang Bai. "Pharmacist Huang, why have you come? Is there something you need with our husband?"

Yue Ling and the others stared at Zhou Lingxue and the group, their eyes widening in disbelief at what they were seeing.

They had heard before that Ye Qing's contracted weapon spirits were all beautiful, but seeing them today, 'beautiful' was an understatement!

Any one of them picked at random was a world-class beauty, appearing like a Heavenly Immortal descended to earth.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Ye Qing had only contracted them because of their looks!

"Is Lord Ye not at home?"

"He's not," Zhou Lingxue shook her head. "He was invited by King Fenghai to the Modu Military Department."

"Is something wrong?"

"Are there some high-Rank exotic plants you're planning to give us?"

Zhou Lingxue added a few more words.

In an instant, the expressions of many young women nearby turned strange. Good grief.

Sister Zhou really is the mischievous one!

Asking such a question right off the bat.

Huang Bai: "..." Huh?!

Asking me for high-Rank exotic plants?

Weren't all my previous high-Rank exotic plants already taken by you guys?

I don't have many left now, and even the ones that remain are mostly planted in the medicinal garden, which will all be yours in the end anyway.

I understand now; it's not just Ye Qing who's sly—these girls are quite mischievous too.

"No, it's just that these friends of mine wanted to talk to Ye Qing about expanding the medicinal garden. Since he's not here, we won't go in. We'll take our leave now."

To be honest, Huang Bai was feeling a bit fearful.

He felt that if he stepped into the manor, he would surely lose something.

"We're leaving. No need to see us out."

Huang Bai said as he led the group outside.

The others looked at Huang Bai with confusion on their faces. Why did this guy seem like he was afraid of something?

These few girls made Huang Bai this scared?

This Old Huang is really regressing as he gets older.

"You saw it yourselves; Ye Qing isn't home. He was called away by King Fenghai, likely for something important. Let's head back for now and wait until he returns before coming to find him again."

Huang Bai spoke, and the others nodded.

"We're in no hurry to go back; there's no rush."

"Exactly, we also want to meet this legendary figure."

"If we can also take over the medicinal garden matters, it would be a great thing for us."

...

As they spoke, their faces were filled with excitement. If they could take over the medicinal garden, they would be connected to Ye Qing, and there would surely be many benefits in the future.

They headed back first.

Meanwhile.

In the Modu Military Department.

Ye Qing was in King Fenghai's office.

"Sigh, no matter where you go now, you cause quite a stir," King Fenghai said while looking at Ye Qing. His meaning was clear, referring to how Ye Qing had taken Modu by storm today, with all the family heads flocking to him.

Ye Qing sat down and took a sip of tea. "I originally just planned to go for a stroll, but I didn't expect to run into some old acquaintances and have all this happen. However, it seems Jing Yao and the others encountered similar situations when they went out. It looks like I should just stay quietly in the villa; going out really does cause a commotion easily."

Looking at Ye Qing's composed manner, King Fenghai had an illusion—it was as if the person sitting before him wasn't a youth, but a King-level Expert, like one of those old fellows.

But this feeling wasn't bad either.

As expected of the junior he thought highly of.

"Although Qishan Villa is nice, staying inside all the time is no fun. Tomorrow, why don't you come with me and a few others in the Marquis Realm to check out the Fissure?"

King Fenghai immediately suggested, "This trip is to show you the Fissure and also to check the situation inside to make sure there are no abnormalities."

The Fissure?!

Hearing this, Ye Qing's interest was piqued. After all, Qian Tu had mentioned it to him before.

There were things inside that interested him.

In Ye Qing's plan for coming to Modu, he had already intended to visit the Fissure. Now that King Fenghai had brought it up...

Seeing Ye Qing in thought, King Fenghai assumed he was unwilling. "If you don't want to..."

Hmm?!

"Why wouldn't I be willing?"

Ye Qing put down his teacup. "I already intended to go in and take a look. I'm quite interested in these things."

"Good!"

Most people truly didn't dare enter the Fissure; after all, there were too many terrifying legends about it.

Of course, many weren't just legends. Several veteran King-level Experts from Huaxia had entered the Fissure over a decade ago and got lost inside. Despite several search attempts, they were never found and have yet to emerge.

Now, not only was Ye Qing not afraid, but he even showed interest in the Fissure, which was beyond King Fenghai's expectations.

Ye Qing then stood up. "Then I'll head back first. We leave tomorrow morning, right?"

"Yes."

King Fenghai nodded; he also needed to make some preparations.

"Get some good rest tonight. When we go tomorrow, things in there can change in an instant, and there might be danger."

King Fenghai said, and Ye Qing nodded.

He then walked outside without any hesitation.

After Ye Qing left, King Fenghai stood up and went to the window. Watching the departing Ye Qing, he nodded. "This kid is a good prospect. Setting everything else aside, his character alone is that of someone destined for greatness."

"I like him. Yao Yao's judgment is indeed good. But about Xiao Yue... tsk, how do I bring it up?"

In an instant, King Fenghai fell into distress.

Meanwhile, a while later.

Ye Qing returned to Qishan Villa.

He had originally planned to continue watching the fashion show, but by the time he returned, everyone had already started eating.

It seemed today's fashion show was over.

Sigh.

"Oh? Husband, you're back."

"Hurry and come eat!"

...

As the words reached him, Ye Qing sat down.

"By the way, husband, after you left, Huang Bai came looking for you with a few friends. They arrived in quite a hurry. Those friends looked like senior Alchemists, and it seemed they wanted to discuss taking over the Medicinal Field with you."
