Ye Tianchen couldn't help but glance at Fifth Master Jiang.
"I'll accept your apology. Let's end this matter here."
Fifth Master Jiang said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your magnanimity!"
"I wonder if Mr. Ye has time today. I'd like to host a banquet to express my apologies. Please honor us with your presence."
Ye Tianchen waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that! I have other things to attend to today."
The people present were once again shocked beyond words.
Fifth Master Jiang is definitely a person of status and influence, especially with ties to the underground!
He proactively extended an invitation, yet Ye Tianchen refused without hesitation!
And yet, Fifth Master Jiang showed no temper, only a trace of disappointment on his face.
Ye Tianchen said, "Patriarch Liu, is it okay if Pengfei comes with me for a while?"
Liu Guofeng smiled and said, "Of course, there's no problem. Today, Manager Li Pengfei gets a paid leave!"
Ye Tianchen then went with Li Pengfei to Villa No. 1.
Liu Guofeng took a glance at Fifth Master Jiang, who remained standing by his side.
"Jiang Chengwu, do you have other matters?"
Fifth Master Jiang opened his mouth and said, "Patriarch Liu, thank you for your guidance!"
Liu Guofeng's eyes were sharp as he said, "Oh? How did I guide you?"
Fifth Master Jiang said, "I admit, in terms of status, power, and insight, I'm not as good as Patriarch Liu. Therefore, for you to show such respect to Mr. Ye, I too must show respect!"
When Fifth Master Jiang earlier admitted his mistake and apologized to Ye Tianchen, even Liu Guofeng felt surprised!
Hearing Fifth Master Jiang's words now, Liu Guofeng couldn't help but nod.
Liu Guofeng said, "Jiang Chengwu, it's impressive that you realize this point!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you've suffered an internal injury that's never healed?"
Fifth Master Jiang nodded to this, without any denial. After all, it was a semi-public secret.
Liu Guofeng said, "Mr. Ye should be quite confident in curing you!"
Upon hearing Liu Guofeng's words, Fifth Master Jiang's eyes widened instantly, but then he seemed deflated.
He shook his head and said, "Impossible! Even the three Divine Doctors of East Sea are powerless!"
Liu Guofeng said, "Then what do you think of my old master's condition?"
Fifth Master Jiang hesitated to respond, as he had heard of Old Master Liu's illness! Compared to his own condition, it was even harder to treat!
Liu Guofeng said, "Mr. Ye cured it with ease!"
Hearing this, Fifth Master Jiang was stunned and full of disbelief!
"It turns out, Mr. Ye is not only exceptional in Martial Arts at such a young age but has also carved a niche for himself in Medical Dao!"
"Perhaps it's precisely because of these two points that you have such respect for Mr. Ye!"
Liu Guofeng also nodded.
In fact, Liu Guofeng too realized Ye Tianchen's martial prowess only after witnessing the conflict between Ye Tianchen and Fifth Master Jiang!
Fifth Master Jiang realized he had lost a tremendous opportunity!
Earlier, Ye Tianchen had extended an invitation for him to follow, which he declined, clashing instead!
Ye Tianchen was unlikely to offer a second chance!
He not only lost the chance to follow a rising dragon but also missed the opportunity to have his years-long internal injury cured!
Liu Guofeng said, "Fortunately, Mr. Ye accepted your apology. There might be room for maneuver, but you'll have to seize any opportunities on your own moving forward!"
Fifth Master Jiang clasped his hands in thanks to Liu Guofeng, saying, "Thank you, Patriarch Liu, for the reminder! If Patriarch Liu ever needs anything, just say the word! I shall take my leave now!"
The reason Liu Guofeng gave these pointers to Fifth Master Jiang was because, overall, Fifth Master Jiang had a good disposition. Furthermore, since Ye Tianchen had suggested his following, Liu Guofeng wanted to observe Fifth Master Jiang's attitude and help make it happen. It was also a way to indirectly serve Ye Tianchen!
After Fifth Master Jiang left.
Liu Guofeng immediately reported today's events to Old Master Liu.
Old Master Liu, upon hearing, praised repeatedly, saying, "Guofeng, you acted decisively this time, very well done! From now on, I'll live in Villa No. 2!"
"Who would have thought that Mr. Ye is a dual excellence in medicine and martial arts! This makes him even more worth our utmost efforts to associate with!"
"Alright, stop wasting time on the phone with me. Didn't Mr. Ye suggest a few changes around the villa? Go oversee it personally!"
"In a bit, I'll come over personally too!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Guofeng also made his way to Villa No. 1 without delay.
Meanwhile, inside Villa No. 1.
The villa was perfectly equipped, with even prepared tea leaves and such!
Ye Tianchen and Li Pengfei sat together, drinking tea and chatting.
Li Pengfei's nerves remained numb! Completely overwhelmed!
Even in this short time, through the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see Liu Guofeng personally directing several workers planting pine trees!
And at that moment.
Ye Tianchen received a call from Liu Yaxin.
"Ye Tianchen, what did you call me for? I was just at a newly constructed underground shopping mall, and the signal wasn't great..."
Liu Yaxin offered an explanation.
Ye Tianchen said, "Oh, nothing much. I was buying a villa at your Dragon and Phoenix Garden and ran into some issues. It's resolved now. Carry on with your work!"
Liu Yaxin asked, "Which villa did you buy?"
Ye Tianchen replied, "I didn't buy one. Old Master Liu directly gave me Villa No. 1!"
Liu Yaxin laughed and said, "Well, that makes things easy for you. Everything's fully equipped for you to move in! Wait, things like beddings still haven't been bought!"
"How about this, I'll buy everything and send it over! Consider it a housewarming gift!"
"But, you must treat me to dinner!"
Without further ado, Liu Yaxin hung up the phone.
On the phone, Liu Yaxin didn't seem surprised at all that Old Master Liu gifted this villa!
Ye Tianchen didn't avoid Li Pengfei while on the call.
So, Li Pengfei heard everything clearly!
Likewise, his heart was a bit overwhelmed by the shock.
Liu Yaxin is not only the heiress of the Liu family but also the president of their Liu Group! She's the boss of the boss of Li Pengfei's boss! Several levels above and someone he must look up to!
In the meantime, through the window, Li Pengfei witnessed yet another astonishing scene.
The old patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Zhengde, had also arrived.
He and Liu Guofeng both personally oversaw the planting of those pine trees.
This left Li Pengfei feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Tianchen, I'll go out and greet them, otherwise I..."
At that moment.
Liu Zhengde and Liu Guofeng finished planting the trees and quickly left without pause, seemingly afraid of being an eyesore in Ye Tianchen's presence!
Ye Tianchen smiled and said, "Alright, they've also left. Now you can relax! How about staying over tonight? I'll make a few dishes, and we can have a drink!"
Li Pengfei was about to agree, but then a message notification sounded from his phone, and after checking it,
There seemed to be a hint of urgency in his expression as he said, "Tianchen, I have some things to handle at home today."
"Let's arrange a day where we won't stop until we're drunk!"
Ye Tianchen said, "Pengfei, are you in any kind of trouble?"
Li Pengfei shook his head, smiling, "No. If I really had an issue, I'd definitely tell you! Haha, after all, you know so many important people!"
