76: Chapter 76 Every part of him is a treasure

Seeing this scene, Li Yiran and Xiao Yuxin were dumbfounded; they didn't understand what Xiao Yuchen was doing.

It was a bit like a palace maid serving an emperor during a meal—whatever the emperor spat out, she had to catch.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Xiao Yuxin finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it, just eat your food."

Snapped back at by her brother, Xiao Yuxin looked at Li Yiran for help. Li Yiran understood immediately and asked the same question.

"Yuchen, what are you doing?"

Hearing the two women ask the exact same question, Xiao Yuchen was speechless. It was obvious they had coordinated this beforehand.

He could brush off his sister, but he didn't dare brush off Li Yiran; if a girlfriend gets angry, she's not easy to coax.

"It's nothing. I've been developing a type of Medicinal Pill recently that requires a child's tears to assist in Alchemy, so I just took the opportunity to collect some." Xiao Yuchen found a random excuse.

After collecting about twenty drops of tears, Dashan's emotions finally began to stabilize.

Looking at the crystal-clear tears in the jade bottle, Xiao Yuchen almost laughed out loud.

"This Dashan really is a treasure from head to toe. In the future, I must treat him like a little ancestor."

After a lovely dinner, Xiao Yuchen took the three of them out for a stroll. Having stayed in the orphanage for so long, Dashan had become somewhat disconnected from the outside world.

That evening, Xiao Yuchen took Dashan to a shopping mall and a children's playground, then went to a night market to eat snacks, not returning home until after ten o'clock.

Worried that Dashan might be afraid, Xiao Yuchen let Dashan sleep with him.

The next morning, Xiao Yuchen woke up very early as usual. Since it was Sunday and Xiao Yuxin and Li Yiran wanted to sleep in, he wasn't in a rush to make breakfast.

The night seemed peaceful, but the upper society of Jiangcheng was in turmoil. Yesterday afternoon, the Wang Family of the Four Great Families had been carved up by several large families, and the Li Family had leapt up to become one of The Three Great Families.

Those small families that had once been attached to the Wang Family were like ants on a hot pan. In order to protect themselves, they scrambled to use their connections to find Xiao Yuchen's address.

Because they knew that Xiao Yuchen was the true Master of Jiangcheng; even the Martial Arts Association had recognized his status in the Jiangcheng martial arts world.

Ding-dong!

Hearing someone ring the doorbell, Xiao Yuchen hurried to open the door, fearing it would disturb the three people sleeping inside.

However, when he saw the two people at the door, Xiao Yuchen was visibly stunned.

"Qian Fusheng? Why is it you?"

The person who arrived was none other than Qian Fusheng, whom Xiao Yuchen had met while waiting for his sister to finish school in the parking lot. He had once been Wang Youzhi's lackey, and his father was the president of a large bank.

"Brother Chen, I really didn't expect you to remember me. Oh right, let me introduce you; this is my father, Qian Jinxin."

Xiao Yuchen glanced at Qian Jinxin, who was standing next to Qian Fusheng. The father and son were cut from the same cloth; no one would believe they weren't father and son.

"Hello. Please, come in. Is there something you need by coming here so early in the morning?"

Xiao Yuchen was reasonably polite; after all, he had previously promised to let Qian Fusheng be his underling, but he hadn't been going to school and hadn't seen Qian Fusheng.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that you know Alchemy and understand Medical Skills. It just so happens that I have a five-hundred-year-old ginseng root here. It's useless to me, so I'll give it to you."

Upon seeing the ginseng, Xiao Yuchen's eyes lit up. Five-hundred-year-old ginseng like this was hard to find nowadays, and many Advanced Medicinal Pills required ginseng as an ingredient.

However, Xiao Yuchen was not a greedy person. Without knowing the other party's intentions, he wouldn't accept the item.

"You should state your business first. I don't like taking other people's things without reason."

"Brother Xiao, it's like this: although we were previously very close to the Wang Family, our relationship was purely cooperative. Now that the Wang Family has fallen, I hope you won't implicate my Qian Family."

As the president of a large bank, Qian Jinxin had never been as humble as he was now, even when facing the Four Great Families; after all, the relationship between the Four Great Families and the bank was one of mutual benefit.

But now, facing Xiao Yuchen, he lowered his posture significantly. Because he had been too close to the Wang Family, he was worried about retaliation from the several large families.

Knowing that his son was actually Xiao Yuchen's underling, he hurried over with his son, partly to seek Xiao Yuchen's forgiveness.

On the other hand, he also wanted to latch onto Xiao Yuchen's thigh. By building a good relationship with such a big figure, the status of his Qian Family in Jiangcheng would definitely rise.

"Mr. Xiao, why say such things? Your son already explained it to me before, and I even promised to let him be my underling. Besides, you haven't provoked me, so why would I make a move against you?"

Xiao Yuchen had always been clear about grievances and gratitude. Even with the Wang Family and the Qi Family, he hadn't wiped them out completely; he disdained making moves against innocent ordinary people.

"Of course, we naturally trust Mr. Xiao's character. Additionally, our bank would like to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Mr. Xiao; we hope you will consider it."

"Cooperation? I'm just a high school student; you should know that, right? How are we to cooperate?"

Although Xiao Yuchen had already taken control of Jiangcheng, he was genuinely making friends with everyone. Despite having the ability, Xiao Yuchen had never thought about interfering in other families' affairs.

"Mr. Xiao, you are too humble. Everyone knows you are now the Master of Jiangcheng, and the several large families all listen to you. As long as you say the word, our bank can gain many partners." Qian Jinxin lowered his posture and buttered him up.

"Fine. For the sake of your son, I will mention it to the heads of the other families, but I won't interfere in exactly how they choose."

"That is only natural. You just need to recommend us to them."

With the matter settled, Qian Jinxin bid farewell. He understood Xiao Yuchen's power; as long as Xiao Yuchen said a word, who wouldn't give him Face?

"Wait a moment. This ginseng of yours is indeed useful to me. How about this: I'll trade you a Medicinal Pill for it. Doesn't your son want to become a Martial Artist? I'll give him a body tempering pill."

"Although this body tempering pill cannot increase cultivation, it can improve one's Physique and enhance Cultivate talent. Once you take the body tempering pill, you will already be much stronger than an ordinary person."

"What? A body tempering pill? Are you really going to give us a body tempering pill?" Qian Jinxin was very surprised. To him, the value of a body tempering pill was much higher than the ginseng; he was getting the better end of the deal.

"Yes, take it. I don't want to take your things for nothing."

"Good, then thank you, Brother Xiao."

Taking the body tempering pill, the two of them left. Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Yuchen tied on his apron to make breakfast, but just as he entered the kitchen, the doorbell rang again.

Xiao Yuchen thought Qian Jinxin and his son had returned, but after opening the door, he discovered it was two people he didn't recognize.

A middle-aged man and a sweet-looking girl, who looked about his age.

"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Yuchen was certain he didn't know these two people.

"You must be Mr. Xiao. I am the president of the Tianhai Group, Tian Gui, and this is my daughter, Tian Ruyu."

"Oh, hello. Is there something you need?" Xiao Yuchen was very surprised. Why did some inexplicable people keep coming by today?
