346: Chapter 346 It's time to leave

This...

Sophia did not expect that this medicine would be so effective.

Furthermore, according to what her brother said, this medicine really was a powerful divine medicine.

She was stunned, and Sophia immediately began to calculate whether her remaining money would be enough.

It seemed... it wasn't enough.

Now she was in trouble.

On the other side, John was still exclaiming, "Goodness, Ye Qing is incredibly generous. Such medicine is a priceless treasure outside, and now he just gave it to you because of a single word from you."

"No, that's not it, brother. This medicine wasn't given for free..."

Sophia said, "I bought this from Ye Qing."

"Did you pay for it?" John was stunned upon hearing this and immediately asked back. After all, Sophia hadn't brought much money with her this time, had she?

Moreover, such a divine medicine was already beyond what Sophia could afford.

"I didn't. Ye Qing said he didn't want money, but I insisted on paying. I said I would owe it for now and pay him when I return to the West. Seeing how you were singing its praises just now, and since you were the one who ate the medicine, and now your injuries are healed and your strength has improved, you should be the one to pay."

John: "..."

Goodness, is that what you're planning now?

But listening to Sophia, it didn't seem like there was any problem; he was the one who ate the medicine, and it had indeed improved his strength.

Furthermore, if he were to go and ask Ye Qing for such medicine, Ye Qing might not give it to him. In a sense, he seemed to have gotten the better end of the deal.

But why did this whole thing feel so strange?

"Brother, you don't really expect me to pay, do you? I'm afraid I don't have enough money."

"Then why don't you just stay here at Qishan Villa and let yourself be sold to Ye Qing?" John said half-jokingly.

Sophia was stunned upon hearing her brother's words. She had actually thought about this before, but that was just a thought.

She was nothing more than a Wasted Artifact Spirit now; how could Ye Qing possibly be interested in her?

The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. She pushed John again, but the John of now was different from the one before.

He now stood there as immovable as an iron tower; a Wasted Artifact Spirit like Sophia simply couldn't budge him.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Once we return to the West, we will send the money to Ye Qing."

John also put away his joking manner.

A few hours later.

King Fenghai finished dealing with his matters and returned to Qishan Villa once again.

He spoke about the situation regarding the Breakthrough at Modu Barrier.

Many Families heard this, and expressions of longing appeared on their faces.

This Ore really seemed like a rare treasure. They could now use the Ore for the Disciples of their own Families. There were some talented youths among their Family members, so they could use the Ore to cultivate them well. It would be great if they could produce a star of huaxia.

In an instant, every Family began to make their own calculations.

King Fenghai looked at Joseph, "There is a letter here for you, sent from your jurisdiction."

Oh?

Joseph's eyes narrowed, and he took it to read. Hearing King Fenghai's words, John and Sophia also leaned in to look.

They read the contents of the letter.

Then, their brows gradually furrowed.

"It seems that after we left, they've become quite lawless. These bandits actually dare to intercept our goods. It seems I must return to properly deal with them."

John said.

Beside him, Joseph's eyes were also gloomy. There were some bandits around his jurisdiction whose strength was passable, and they made a living by robbing and plundering. Previously, because his and John's strength was well-known, those bandits dared not touch their goods or the Families within his jurisdiction.

As it turned out, this time when they came to Huaxia, those bandits must have thought something had happened to them, and they had become rampant, plundering their goods. They were simply courting death!

"For such a small matter, let the juniors go back. You've only just arrived in Huaxia; there are still many other places you haven't visited, and some old friends you haven't seen."

King Fenghai understood the situation and spoke to Joseph. Joseph nodded and looked at John, "Then you go back first; I will stay in Huaxia for a while longer."

John nodded, and beside him, Sophia quickly added, "Father, I will go back too. I have things to do over there."

The matter she spoke of was, naturally, raising money for Ye Qing.

After all, she didn't have the habit of not paying back debts.

"Hmm? What are you going back to do?"

Joseph was puzzled. After all, he had had a small plan before: to let Sophia stay at Qishan Villa, to get to know Ye Qing and become familiar with him. If she could form a Contract with Ye Qing, that would be a great thing.

After all, before he came to Modu Barrier, he thought Ye Qing was very powerful, but now, he felt that Ye Qing would be the number one person in Huaxia in the future.

Condensing one's own Domain while at the Marquis-level, and condensing more than one type of Domain at that—with such strength, what else could he be if not the future number one person of Huaxia?!

"I'm going back for some things. Oh, Dad, don't worry about it. I'll just go back with my brother."

"Alright, alright."

Joseph had an expression of frustration—wishing she could live up to his expectations. How could she not seize the opportunity given to her like this!

Beside them, King Fenghai watched Joseph's expression and seemed to understand something. This look was quite similar to his own back then.

It seems this old guy also had the same thoughts as he did back then!

Fine, fine, fine, is this the trend now?

King Fenghai thought to himself, then rubbed his nose. Did he set a bad precedent?

Forget it, never mind.

"Sister Sophia, are you leaving already?"

"Why are you in such a rush to leave? It would be so nice to stay here for a while longer. There are still many places we haven't taken you to visit."

"Exactly, exactly, don't be in such a rush."

"..."

Everyone said, expressions of reluctance appearing on their faces. They had originally thought they could successfully get Sophia to form a Contract with Ye Qing, but now it seemed there was no progress at all. They had hoped to have one more comrade-in-arms to endure the bombardment together.

But now, sigh!

Sophia also shook her head, "Sisters, I really do have things to take care of back home. Thank you all for your hospitality and company during this time. If you have time in the future, come visit us often; we have many fun places over there too."
