Chapter 358 - 358: The Boat of Friendship
The car stopped outside the courtyard.
Nan Yan and the other two got out of the car.
Shen Junqing rubbed his chin and commented, “The people living here seem to have a lot of status.”
This was the ancient city area.
Despite the old and somewhat humble appearance of the courtyards here, each one was worth over a hundred million yuan.
Some of them couldn’t even be bought regardless of how much money you had.
Living here wasn’t just a matter of having money; it was about something more.
Sun Chan’s residence had an excellent geographical location, and its value was even higher.
Nan Yan reminded him earnestly, “Three Brother, when you meet my Second Master later, please be more serious. He’s a bit old-fashioned in his thinking, so don’t leave a bad impression on him.”
“Your Second Master?” Shen Junqing was a bit surprised. “Yanyan, how many masters do you have?”
An unusual point of interest.
Nan Yan thought he would be concerned about who her Second Master was… “Two,” Nan Yan thought for a moment, then added, “Currently, it’s two.”
“Oh…” Shen Junqing nodded. He finally hit the key point with his next question, “So, who are your two masters?”
After all, she was so capable; her masters must be even more remarkable!
Bai Chen was particularly curious about her Second Master.
So he looked at her, waiting for her response.
Nan Yan couldn’t help but smile and replied slowly, “My Grand Master is the divine physician Hua Shifang, and my Second Master is the Medicine King Sun
Chan.”
Shen Junqing:
This was a bit too much to handle.
He felt weak in the knees!
Those legendary figures turned out to be her masters!
He wasn’t dreaming, was he…
Compared to Shen Junqing, Bai Chen had a stronger capacity to absorb this shock.
However, he was even more curious and asked, “How did Medicine King Sun
Chan end up taking you as his disciple?”
“You don’t even know how to cultivate herbs.”
Nan Yan shrugged, “Because he wants to pass down Hundred Herb Garden to me…”
To be honest, she felt that she wasn’t cut out for herb cultivation. Giving it to her would be a waste.
But when she thought about the people she had encountered in her Master’s sect, her gaze turned cold.
She would rather let Hundred Herb Garden go to waste in her hands than allow it to fall into someone else’s possession!
And her Master’s Divine Physician Sect!
No matter for what reason her Master chose to retire from the world and no longer concern himself with worldly affairs, the things that belonged to her Master should not be taken by others!
Bai Chen was momentarily stunned, then he emotionlessly embraced her shoulder. “Little Yanyan, remember this. You have a part in Dark Realm as well. You’ve been acting as a figurehead manager for too long. Don’t think about staying idle any longer!”
Nan Yan: ‘
“But, aren’t you three managing Dark Realm well?” she asked.
Bai Chen coldly snorted, “Recently, Dark Realm is expanding its operations, and we’re short on manpower. If you refuse to share the workload, Li Yuan will come personally and drag you back.”
“I’m the diplomat, he’s the warrior. Little Yanyan, decide which role you want.”
Nan Yan: ‘
Shen Junqing ‘accidentally’ overheard their conversation and was left dumbfounded.
Nan Yan was actually a part of Dark Realm.
Moreover, she was part of Dark Realm’s management.
Shen Junqing naturally knew that Dark Realm had four managers, but only three of them were publicly managing the website.
Bai Chen, Li Yuan, and Zui Gui.
Could it be that Nan Yan was the mysterious and never-seen-before Pioneer?
This was… beyond shocking!
Dark Realm was established nine years ago, and after three years of development, it became the world’s largest international trading network.
Nine years ago, how old was Nan Yan?
She was just a nine-year-old child…
Shen Junqing felt that this revelation was even more shocking than when he learned that her Grand Master was the divine physician Hua Shifang and her Second Master was the Medicine King Sun Chan.
He needed a moment to digest this.
His heart was struggling to cope!
Nan Yan and Bai Chen didn’t avoid telling him all this, in fact, they deliberately informed him.
Bai Chen had long known Shen Junqing’s true identity and also knew that Nan Yan had a good relationship with Shen Junqing.
Out of consideration for Nan Yan, he showed a bit more tolerance.
Recently, they had been spending a lot of time together and had somehow found common ground, so their boat of friendship had begun to develop. Nan Yan made a sensible choice and picked “Diplomat.”
After all, Bai Chen’s personality was much better than Li Yuan’s, and she could negotiate with him.
If Li Yuan had come, she might really have been taken back.
The three of them waited outside for another five minutes, but the courtyard door remained tightly closed.
Bai Chen frowned, “Why isn’t anyone opening the door? Let’s keep knocking.”
Nan Yan knocked on the door again.
They waited a bit longer, but still no one came to open the door.
“What’s going on? Is the Medicine King not at home?”
“I’ll make a phone call.”
Nan Yan took out her phone and dialed Sun Chan’s number.
Before leaving, she had received a call from Sun Chan, telling her that he was back and asked her to come and find him.
In such a short time, nothing should have happened, right…
The call was quickly answered.
“Second Master, where are you? Aren’t you at home?”
“Have you arrived?” Sun Chan’s cheerful voice came through, “If you’ve arrived, just wait a few minutes, I’ll be home soon.”
“Alright.”
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he was safe, she was willing to wait as long as necessary.
Five minutes later, Sun Chan returned on an old-fashioned bicycle.
Presumably, because he knew she was waiting for him, he pedaled very quickly.
The bicycle was almost running when it approached them, and he only firmly squeezed the brakes when he was right in front of Nan Yan and the others, sliding several meters before coming to a stop.
Nan Yan: ‘
Shen Junqing:
Bai Chen: ‘
Who would have thought that the Medicine King Sun Chan’s mode of transportation would be a beaten-up bicycle?
However, Nan Yan only hesitated for a moment before understanding.
After all, upon their first meeting, she had sensed that he was down-to-earth and thrifty.
Sun Chan’s gaze swept over Bai Chen and Shen Junqing before turning to Nan Yan. He complained, “Yanyan, you brought friends over, but you didn’t tell me in advance.”
“If I had known you were bringing friends, I would have come back earlier.” When others came to ask for medicine, Sun Chan was usually indifferent.
But when his obedient disciple brought friends, it was different; they were considered guests.
Nan Yan explained, ‘We didn’t wait for long.”
Shen Junqing and Bai Chen quickly added that they didn’t wait long either.
What a joke.
Waiting at Sun Chan’s doorstep was an honor!
They were more than willing to wait, no matter how long it took.
Sun Chan leaned the bicycle against the wall, opened the door, and invited them in. He said, “Come on, get inside quickly, don’t stand outside.”
Just as they entered, Tang Cheng also brought Ji Yunmiao.
Ji Yunmiao had been detained for two days and looked haggard. She no longer resembled the ethereal little fairy who had been aloof from worldly matters. She stared at the people in the room in panic, trembling all over.
Especially when she saw Sun Chan, she instinctively retreated and dared not approach.
Nan Yan simply dragged her in front of Sun Chan and asked, “Second Master,
I’ve brought her. How do you intend to deal with her?”
Sun Chan examined Ji Yunmiao for a moment and then asked in a stern tone,
“Who is your master?”
