?60: Chapter 60: Zhuo Family Visit 60: Chapter 60: Zhuo Family Visit As an Ancient Martial Grandmaster, no one understood the importance of the elixir before her more than Gu Wan’er.

    This was a matter of life and death, no matter how innately talented in Martial Arts you were or how unmatched your power was, compared to one’s own life, all that was merely fleeting clouds.

    A dozen breaths later, Gu Wan’er finally calmed down, and she directly ordered Gu Xiangyun, “Bring all the jade artifacts here for Mr.

    Ye to choose from.”

    Watching this scene unfold before him, Ye Xuan was not surprised at all.

    The Nourishing Yuan Pill was the lowest level of elixir among Cultivators, but in the eyes of these Ancient Martial Artists, it was as mythical as an Immortal Pill.

    However, the Nourishing Yuan Pill was refined from the essence blood of a Mutant Beast from the Blood Sea.

    Although its effects seemed miraculous, it had a significant downside—the lifespan of anyone who consumed this pill would not exceed ten years.

    Of course, Ye Xuan naturally would not mention this, and even if he had, Gu Wan’er would have been somewhat disappointed but would still regard this pill as a treasure.

    After all, for someone who was facing death, to be able to live another ten years was an enormous blessing.

    Soon, various jade artifacts were brought over.

    As Ye Xuan sifted through them, he selected a dozen Jade Pendants and two Jade Sword Pendants into his bag, while he ignored the other jade artifacts.

    “Mr.

    Ye, how much is this elixir priced at?

    Do you have any more of these pills?” Gu Wan’er asked, clutching the Nourishing Yuan Pill tightly in her hand as if she feared Ye Xuan might have a change of heart.

    “The price is for you to decide, and this elixir was something I stumbled upon by chance, and I only have this one,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

    Clearly, Gu Wan’er did not believe Ye Xuan.

    If such a precious pill was truly the only one, how could this man willingly part with it for auction?

    However, since Gu Wan’er was sharp-witted, she naturally did not continue to press the subject.

    After exchanging phone numbers with Ye Xuan, she respectfully saw him out of the auction house.

    Watching Ye Xuan walk away, Gu Xiangyun asked in a low voice, “Miss, should we send someone to follow him and find out more about him?”

    Gu Wan’er shook her head, her eyes heavy with caution, “Do not act rashly, this man could tell that I am an Ancient Martial Grandmaster, yet I could not discern his level of cultivation.

    He is definitely above me.

    If others find out we are tracking him, it might lead to serious trouble.”

    “But can we really put this pill up for auction?” Gu Xiangyun spoke in a low tone.

    “Such a valuable pill, how could we actually auction it?

    It’s just a formality, the pill will naturally be sent back to the family,” Gu Wan’er stated confidently.

    ...

    Although Ye Xuan had walked far away, the conversation between the two was clearly heard by him.

    Ye Xuan enjoyed dealing with intelligent people.

    Undoubtedly, Gu Wan’er was one of them.

    She knew whom she could provoke and whom she could not, which greatly pleased Ye Xuan.

    As for the destination of the Nourishing Yuan Pill, Ye Xuan hardly cared.

    As long as Gu Wan’er could continue providing him with jade artifacts, he wouldn’t mind giving her the pill.

    However, if she became greedy and tried to scheme against him, her fate would be extremely miserable.

    Ye Xuan’s principle was, what I give you is yours, what I have not given you, if you try to seize it, the only outcome is death.

    Ye Xuan’s thoughts returned as he directly headed back home.

    Now that he had these jade artifacts, although he couldn’t set up a particularly powerful array, ensuring his family’s safety was more than adequate.

    Biyun Pavilion, the home of Ye Xuan.

    As day turned to evening and night descended, Ye Xuan’s mother woke up early.

    Yet, her complexion was somewhat pale and her spirit listless, a sign she was still somewhat weak.

    “Ling’er, where is your brother?” Mrs.

    Ye quietly asked.

    “He went out, should be back soon,” Ye Ling’er obediently replied.

    “Ah!”

    With a sigh, a complex look appeared in Mrs.

    Ye’s eyes.

    While she had fallen injured at the Bohai Hotel, and her consciousness had been somewhat muddled, she knew that Ye Xuan had killed someone.

    This made her worry about Ye Xuan, fearing that the Suspended Mirror Department might come knocking on their door and take Ye Xuan to jail.

    “Mom, are you feeling better?” The door was gently pushed open, and Ye Xuan entered with a smile, approaching Mrs.

    Ye.

    “I’m fine, it’s just you, Xuan...”

    Mrs.

    Ye paused, wanting to say more, but how could Ye Xuan not see the worry in her eyes?

    “Don’t worry, everything has been taken care of,” Ye Xuan reassured her.

    Looking at Ye Xuan’s smiling face, Mrs.

    Ye knew he had his secrets.

    Since he hadn’t shared them with her, pressing further would only make him feel uncomfortable.

    Thump, thump, thump!

    A knock on the door echoed from outside, prompting Ye Xuan to extend his divine sense.

    As the scene outside the door formed in his mind, Ye Xuan instructed Ye Ling’er to take care of their mother, then turned and went to answer the door.

    Opening the door, he saw Mr.

    Zhuo and Zhuo Junting standing outside.

    Upon seeing Ye Xuan, Mr.

    Zhuo, looking embarrassed, said, “I apologize for visiting unannounced today, I hope Mr.

    Ye will forgive us.”

    Facing the grandfather and granddaughter, Ye Xuan’s expression remained unfazed, as if he had known that the Zhuo Family would come visiting.

    He did not respond and walked directly toward the living room, leaving Mr.

    Zhuo and his granddaughter to hurriedly follow.

    In the living room.

    Ye Xuan leaned back on the sofa while Mr.

    Zhuo and his granddaughter stood awkwardly, uncertain whether to sit or remain standing.

    In this oppressive atmosphere, Ye Xuan directly broke the silence: “I don’t want to ask what your Zhuo Family’s relationship with that woman is, nor do I want to know the purpose of your visit today.”

    Having said this, and after giving Mr.

    Zhuo a deep look, Ye Xuan continued, “All I want to know right now is everything about the Leng Family in Taian.

    If you don’t want to tell me, you are free to leave now.”

    Ye Xuan’s attitude was straightforward, giving Mr.

    Zhuo only two options: either provide the information about the Leng Family or leave.

    This left Mr.

    Zhuo unable to use any of his prepared defenses.

    “Ye... Mr.

    Ye... Your lifesaving grace....”

    Before Mr.

    Zhuo could finish, Ye Xuan waved his hand to interrupt: “That Jade Talisman was sold to your Zhuo Family by me for two million.

    We owe nothing to each other, let’s leave it at that.”

    Clearly, Ye Xuan had no intention of giving Mr.

    Zhuo leeway for negotiation, which deeply furrowed Mr.

    Zhuo’s brow, unsure whether to reveal the true nature of the Leng Family.

    Watching the indecision on Mr.

    Zhuo’s face, Ye Xuan sketched a cold smirk and issued a dismissal: “I’ve already given you a chance.

    It’s your Zhuo Family that failed to appreciate it.

    You can go now.”

    Mr.

    Zhuo might have tried to say something more, but upon seeing Ye Xuan’s indifferent gaze, he swallowed his words.

    After a helpless sigh, he called Zhuo Junting and left the Ye residence.

    “Brother, who were those people?” Ye Ling’er stepped out from the room, her face filled with confusion.

    “Heh!”

    With narrowed eyes, Ye Xuan let out a cold laugh and said, “Merely some foolish people.”
