Urban Martial Saint

Zhao Chengshuang fished around for quite a while, but in the end, nothing came out. Eventually, he just slumped in his chair and said, ”Ye Zi, tell me you’re kidding. This medicine... it’s just ordinary Power Pills, they’re worthless...”

Ye Qing stared at him intently, frustratedly saying, ”What do you think!”

”Ahahaha...” Zhao Chengshuang suddenly burst into sobs, crying, ”I’ve eaten twenty million! I’ve eaten twenty million! I’ve eaten twenty million oh! I’ve never had a meal this expensive in my life!”

Zhao Chengshuang seemed to have gone mad, clutching his head and rolling back and forth, until finally he calmed down a bit and sharply asked Ye Qing, ”Is it too late for me to go to the hospital and have my stomach pumped?”

Ye Qing said, ”If you cut out your intestines, you might still get several million for them!”

”Then forget it!” Taking a deep breath, Zhao Chengshuang said, ”Damn it, just consider it a health boost for myself.”

Looking at the medicine bottle again, he said dejectedly, ”Ye Zi, is it really what Senior Tie said, that this medicine costs twenty million a pill?”

”You think I’m lying to you?” Ye Qing said. ”Senior Tie told me himself, twenty million, and that’s when it’s even available for purchase—you can’t find it on the market!”

Zhao Chengshuang’s face twitched again, and after a while, he glared at Ye Qing and said, ”Damn it, how did something so valuable end up in your hands?”

Ye Qing explained the whole story from beginning to end, and then said, ”Now you know why I want to see Miss Shen, right?”

”Holy shit, there’s really such good luck? Like striking gold from the sky, but it’s huge chunks of gold!” Zhao Chengshuang’s eyes widened and he said, ”According to what you said, Miss Shen accidentally left this behind?”

”Definitely!” Ye Qing replied.

”Since she lost it accidentally, she definitely doesn’t know where she lost it.” Zhao Chengshuang chuckled mischievously and said, ”Why don’t we just keep the medicine? Even selling one or two pills would be enough to spend for a lifetime, and it would cover the expenses of your orphanage too!”

Ye Qing glared at him and said, ”It’s someone else’s property, how can we keep it? Stop thinking about such crooked ideas; the key is to hand over the medicine to Miss Shen!”

”Damn, you really are too honest!” Zhao Chengshuang said. ”There’s a limit to being honest, man. Returning a few thousand or even a few million to someone, sure. But a few hundred million, and you still return it—are you out of your mind?”

Zhao Chengshuang grumbled, but he knew Ye Qing’s character and understood the medicine definitely couldn’t be kept. However, thinking that he had just eaten one, he didn’t know whether to feel fortunate or sad. If he hadn’t eaten that one, he would probably have to return all of them to Shen Qingyi. Yet, having eaten it, he just couldn’t accept the price tag of twenty million!

”Why not directly give it to Shen Qianyue?” Zhao Chengshuang asked.

Ye Qing said, ”It’s Miss Shen’s item, it would be better to personally hand it over to her.”

”Damn, you just want to see her again!” Zhao Chengshuang scoffed and said, ”Alright, alright, I got it. I’ll think of a way for you. We won’t have enough face to see Miss Shen on our own, we’ll have to ask Hua Yu for help!”

With that, Zhao Chengshuang called Lin Huayu directly and explained the situation in detail to her.

Upon hearing it was about Ye Qing, Lin Huayu didn’t hesitate at all, promptly agreeing to help arrange it, instructing Ye Qing and Zhao Chengshuang to just come directly to the Lin family.

Knowing that Lin Huayu could arrange it, Ye Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly, along with Zhao Chengshuang, left by car heading straight to the Lin family.

Ye Qing drove while Zhao Chengshuang sat in the passenger seat, muttering along the way about getting Ye Qing to leave him a pill for future life-saving purposes. Ye Qing couldn’t be bothered with him, determined not to let the guy touch the medicine bottle again.

”Hey, this medicine really does work wonders!” While Zhao Chengshuang was muttering, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, lifting his legs up and saying, ”Look, my legs have gone back to normal, there’s no more problem!”

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Chengshuang astonished. It was supposed to take two more months for his broken legs to heal normally. He had barely taken the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, and now they were back to normal. It seemed Senior Tie was right, this Ziyu Chenxiang Pill was indeed miraculous!

”Twenty million, truly worth it!” Zhao Chengshuang was completely convinced, but again, he became more agitated in asking Ye Qing for the medicine, although Ye Qing ignored him completely.

As they approached the Lin Family Courtyard, just a short distance away, Zhao Chengshuang knew he had no chance of getting the medicine and began muttering as he prepared to enter the courtyard and surprise the Lin family members.

Ye Qing drove the car and stopped suddenly about five hundred meters from the Lin Family Courtyard, opened the door, and got out.

”Hey, what are you doing?” Zhao Chengshuang asked in surprise, watching as Ye Qing walked into a small forest next to them and couldn’t help but laugh, ”You kid, we’re almost at the Lin family, couldn’t you hold it a bit longer before needing a bathroom break? Prostate problems, huh?”

Ye Qing ignored him, circled the small woods, and found several sunflowers. Bending down, he carefully dug up the sunflowers and wrapped their roots in his coat before returning to the car.

”What’ve you got there? Hey, aren’t those sunflowers?” Zhao Chengshuang eyed the flowers in Ye Qing’s hands and exclaimed, ”Ye Zi, you’ve got some unique tastes, huh? These flowers are everywhere, and you went to the trouble of digging a few up? Damn, wrapping them in your clothes, too. Your clothes are way more expensive than those shabby flowers. What are you thinking? If you want to grow sunflowers, I can buy you a few pots next time, so you don’t have to dirty your clothes!”

”These are for Miss Shen!” Ye Qing replied.

”Ah?” Zhao Chengshuang inspected the flowers closely and said, ”Ye Zi, you’re not feverish, are you? Gifting a young lady sunflowers? Have you lost your mind? What’s the message here, ’flowers of the sun’? Damn, do you have to be so blunt? If you’re going to give flowers, at least give roses!”

As Zhao Chengshuang grumbled, the vehicle entered the Lin Family Courtyard. Ye Qing was now considered a distinguished guest of the Lin family, and with Zhao Chengshuang accompanying him, they encountered no obstacles at all.

Lin Huayu had already arranged everything. As soon as they entered the courtyard, a young girl ran over, mysteriously guiding them to the back garden.

Lin Huayu lived in one of the lofts, and the girl led them straight to Lin Huayu’s loft, telling both of them, ”Go ahead, the young lady is waiting inside!”

”Wow, this feels like something out of ’Romance of the West Chamber’,” Zhao Chengshuang joked as he swaggered, no longer needing his crutches, while eyeing Ye Qing, ”Do I count as a matchmaker?”

”...” Ye Qing was speechless and simply ignored him, marching into the loft.

The loft where Lin Huayu resided was decorated warmly, suiting a girl’s taste. As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Huayu and Shen Qingyi sitting in the living room, engaged in some conversation.

”Cousin!” Zhao Chengshuang began to shout as he entered the room but then corrected himself, ”My two cousins!”

”Cut it out, Ms. Qingyi here isn’t related to you!” Lin Huayu retorted with a pout. Spotting Ye Qing, she immediately ran over excitedly, ”Ye, you’re here!”

Ye Qing nodded, feeling an indescribable joy when he saw Shen Qingyi.

Upon seeing Ye Qing, Shen Qingyi also stood up slowly, her eyes filling with delight. She approached and nodded at Ye Qing, not saying much, but her intentions were very clear.

With a cheeky face, Zhao Chengshuang insisted, ”How are we not related? You’re my cousin, she’s your cousin, so technically we are relatives. I’m older than her, so of course, I’m her cousin too. Right, Ms. Qingyi?”

”Get lost!” Lin Huayu shoved Zhao Chengshuang aside and then turned to Ye Qing, ”Ye, do you need my cousin for something?”

Entering the room and seeing Shen Qingyi, Ye Qing was momentarily distracted. Hearing her question, he quickly regained his composure, took out the Blue-and-white Porcelain Vial from his pocket, and handed it to Shen Qingyi, quietly saying, ”Miss Shen, you left this in my car. I came here to bring it to you today. I apologize, I accidentally dropped one!”

”What is this?” Lin Huayu asked curiously.

”Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, it’s a holy medicine!” Zhao Chengshuang explained.

Shen Qingyi looked at the vial, smiled slightly, and said, ”Ye, I left the medicine on purpose.”

”Left it on purpose?” Both Ye Qing and Zhao Chengshuang were stunned. Such a valuable thing, left on purpose?

”Ye, you were injured while saving me. This medicine was left for you to heal!” Shen Qingyi explained, ”I intended to give it to you directly, but since you declined, I had no choice but to leave it in your pocket. Ye, this medicine is now yours, you don’t have to return it to me!”

”Really?” Zhao Chengshuang immediately perked up, eagerly reaching for the medicine bottle in Ye Qing’s hand but was pushed away by Ye Qing.

”Miss Shen, this ... this is too precious. How can I accept it?” Ye Qing said, feeling uneasy as he offered the medicine bottle to Shen Qingyi, ”I ... I can’t accept this medicine. My injuries are not serious now, thank you for your concern!”

”Ye, once I gave you the medicine, it became yours, I can’t take it back,” Shen Qingyi insisted, ”Besides, I’m at the Shen Family Manor every day, I don’t need this medicine. You should keep it for yourself as you encounter more situations when you’re outside.”

Ye Qing waved his hands hastily, ”How can that be possible? This medicine is too precious, I truly can’t accept it!”

”Ye, this...” Shen Qingyi began, reaching out to stop him, but after uttering a few words, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

”Qingyi, Mr. Ye is right, this medicine shouldn’t be given away lightly!” The newcomer was Shen Qianyue, who seemed to have arrived unnoticed, still wearing a calm smile as he walked into the room and took the small vial from Ye Qing’s hand, ”Mr. Ye, thank you for bringing the medicine back. This is the Shen Family’s Healing Holy Medicine, of great importance and should not fall into the hands of outsiders. Qingyi is young and doesn’t understand, so we’re grateful to Mr. Ye for his discernment in returning the medicine. Thank you, Mr. Ye!”
