The Mountain Raised a Monster: Now the World Pays
Chapter 73
"You... you were awake the whole time?" Wei Yanran turned around.
She saw Ye Beichen already sitting up, staring straight at her!
Wei Yanran's face flushed red with embarrassment. "Did you hear everything?"
"Did you know what just happened?"
Ye Beichen nodded. "I knew everything, but I couldn't speak."
Wei Yanran was mortified, feeling extremely awkward. She tried to explain, "Ye Beichen, I... I... you, I..."
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious."
"I don't like you, ah... no, don't misunderstand..."
Wei Yanran was about to go crazy.
Her heart was pounding wildly!
Internally, she screamed, "Wei Yanran, what are you saying?"
Ye Beichen spoke slowly, "Still, I must thank you for bringing me back, otherwise I would have had to sleep on the streets."
"Let me take a look at your formula."
"Uh, okay."
Wei Yanran's mind went blank.
Whatever Ye Beichen said now, she could only agree.
Instinctively, she handed the folder in her hand to Ye Beichen.
Ye Beichen opened it and studied it for a few minutes.
Then, he picked up a pen from the table beside him and started writing and drawing.
Two minutes later, he closed the folder!
"I've already modified your products. There shouldn't be any issues now. The efficacy should be more than ten times what it was before," Ye Beichen said, leaving a remark:
"Consider it a thank you."
He turned and left.
"Huh?"
Wei Yanran was stunned.
By the time she came to her senses, Ye Beichen had already disappeared without a trace.
She looked down and opened the folder, noticing that some of the herbal ingredients had been altered by Ye Beichen.
"Is this a joke?"
Wei Yanran was in disbelief.
This was a beauty product formula she had spent over two years developing.
In just two days, it was set to launch in Zhonghai!
Originally, all the experiments, initial development, and clinical tests had been completed.
Unexpectedly, a problem arose at the last moment.
Wei Yanran immediately thought that this was Wei Ziqing's doing!
But with only two days left, she was running out of time.
"Beep beep beep—!"
At that moment, Wei Yanran's phone rang.
A call from the laboratory: "Miss, there's a problem with the experiment."
"All the initial data is now inconsistent."
"Our initial data was fake, there's a mole in the lab!"
Wei Yanran had already anticipated this outcome, but hearing the news from the lab still made her shiver.
She took a deep breath, "Okay, I understand."
"If it really doesn't work, just give up."
Even now, she couldn't believe it.
How could a formula Ye Beichen casually modified in less than five minutes have any effect!
At this moment, Wei Yanran felt nothing but despair!
"Miss, are you really going to give up?" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with bitterness.
Wei Yanran sighed, "Give up..."
"Alright."

She hung up the phone.
Wei Yanran sat there, her eyes vacant, her heart filled with despair.
If she failed this time, she would be completely out of the game.
In the future, she would have no status in the Wei family!
Perhaps, she would only be used as a tool for marriage alliances.
An entire hour passed.
Wei Yanran's gaze hardened as it fell on the folder. She gritted her teeth and said, "A desperate situation calls for desperate measures. Ye Beichen, don't let me down!"
...
Ye Beichen returned to the residence of his Eighth Senior Sister.
It was close to six in the morning.
He didn't sleep.
He meditated until seven the next day, and sure enough, Eighth Senior Sister Lu Xueqi arrived.
She wrapped her arm around Ye Beichen's and spoke softly, "Little Junior Brother, you should head to Zhonghai."
"In a week, the Military Martial Arts Tournament will begin."
"You promised Eighth Senior Sister that you'd secure a top ten position! Don't let me down."
Wang Ruyan also smiled and said, "Little Junior Brother, Ninth Senior Sister is in Zhonghai."
"You can go and have fun with her."
Ye Beichen smiled.
He knew his two senior sisters wanted him to leave Dragon Capital!
However, he had already learned some information about his mother.
Ye Mingyuan wasn't his father, so staying in Dragon Capital didn't mean much.
Ye Beichen smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll head back to Jiangnan first."
"Hmm?"
Lu Xueqi was a bit puzzled.
"Why did you agree to leave? Not going to the Ye Family?" Wang Ruyan frowned.
Ye Beichen chuckled, "My dear senior sisters, I know you mean well, thank you! Don't worry, I'll find my mother, and I'll secure a place in the Military Martial Arts Tournament!"
"Eighth Senior Sister, is breakfast ready? I'm starving."
Ye Beichen smiled, got out of bed, and went to wash up.
Lu Xueqi frowned, "What's going on? Little Junior Brother seems a bit strange?"
"Could it be, he already knows about her..." Wang Ruyan was startled.
Lu Xueqi shook her head, "Absolutely not! Alright, let's not mention this again. It's best if Little Junior Brother can leave Dragon Capital! Let him go to Zhonghai to distract him for a while."
"Alright."
Wang Ruyan nodded solemnly.
After breakfast, Ye Beichen boarded the high-speed train back to Jiangnan.
He still chose not to fly.
Flying at ten thousand meters high is really unsafe!
If someone went mad and used the plane to kill him...
At ten thousand meters high, Ye Beichen wasn't confident he could survive.
On the high-speed train back, Ye Beichen closed his eyes to rest. The Heaven and Earth Prison Suppression Tower's voice came through: "Kid, let me sense the outside world for a bit!"
"I haven't sensed the outside world for tens of thousands of years."
"Sure."
Ye Beichen casually replied.
"Buzz—!"
In an instant, Ye Beichen's mind trembled!
Everything within a radius of several hundred meters was clearly visible to him!
The high-speed train was racing along!
The tracks rumbled!
Ants crawled on the ground.
Birds soared in the sky!
Even the whispers and low conversations in the train carriage were crystal clear to Ye Beichen.
"What's going on?"
Ye Beichen suddenly stood up, shocked.
"Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"
Wan Lingfeng, sitting beside Ye Beichen, looked at him in astonishment.
The master was fine, so why did he suddenly ask 'what's going on'?
What was happening?
Others in the carriage also looked over, frowning at the disturbance.
"Nothing, nothing."
Ye Beichen shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.
He was also surprised to find that he could sense Wan Lingfeng's martial arts level!
He could clearly feel:
Great Grandmaster peak!
"Alright."
Wan Lingfeng sat down, puzzled.
The Heaven and Earth Prison Suppression Tower's voice came through: "Hehe, this is sensory sharing!"
"Everything I can sense, you can sense too!"
"Within a five hundred meter radius, nothing can escape your eyes."
"Not only can you sense external things, but you can also clearly sense the level of any martial artist within five hundred meters."
"What a pity! If I were at my peak..."
"There are three Martial Spirits and one Martial King in the carriage?" Ye Beichen looked in a certain direction, his face serious, "People from an ancient martial family!"
...
"What's going on?"
At the other end of the carriage, a few young men and women, along with an old man, looked over.
A young girl spoke, using Internal Force to transmit her voice, "That young man seems to be called Ye Beichen!"
"He's from Jiangnan, and he's been causing quite a stir lately."
"The one next to him is War God Lingfeng, Wan Lingfeng!"
A young man sneered, "What kind of bullshit War God, these secular nations just love to give impressive-sounding but utterly useless titles!"
"I could kill that Ye Beichen with one punch!"
"As for War God Lingfeng, I could make him kneel and sing 'Conquer'."
The old man beside him frowned, "Buchen, don't act recklessly!"
"The ancient martial families have survived to this day because they don't get involved in secular conflicts."
"Dragon Nation is somewhat different from the feudal dynasties in history," the old man shook his head.
"What's different? They're still just paper tigers," Jiang Buchen said dismissively.
"That guy named Ye Beichen is looking over!"
The young girl said.
Another young man spoke, "Could he have discovered us?"
"Impossible, who does Ye Beichen think he is, that he could discover our presence?" Jiang Buchen shook his head.
But in the next second.
The faces of the people from the ancient martial family changed slightly.
They saw Ye Beichen stand up and walk directly towards them!
