Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Hey, junior sister's here. Judging from your appearance, you're on vacation, aren't you? Are you planning to go back to your hometown?" Li Wenlong said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's a holiday. I went to Longjin Residential Area, and Da Huang said Master wasn't there. I guessed Master would be here, so I came over!"

Xiao Qi put down his luggage, walked over to Ye Chen, and naturally gave Ye Chen a shoulder massage.

"How do you plan to get back? Is there a direct high-speed train?" Ye Chen asked.

"The train only goes to the city center. You'll need to transfer somewhere along the way, and then take a bus when you arrive!" Xiao Qi said with a smile.

"I see. It must take quite a while, right?" Li Wenlong pondered.

"The train takes about 28 hours, and the bus takes about 6 hours, so it's not too bad!"

Li Wenlong blinked: "That adds up to more than 30 hours! You call that okay? Wow, I can't even imagine what it's like to sit for that long. I wonder if my back can take it."

"I wasn't planning on going back, but I dreamt that Grandma missed me, so I decided to go back and see her!" Xiao Qi pursed her lips.

Ye Chen naturally knew that Xiao Qi wasn't going back because he was worried about the travel expenses.

The round trip would probably cost around a thousand yuan, enough for her food expenses for two or three months.

Ye Chen nodded: "It is indeed quite far. Here's what we'll do: cancel your train ticket, and I'll take you back tomorrow!"

"Huh? Master, are you serious? It's a bit far to drive me back. I can just take the train!" Xiao Qi's eyes widened.

"Who said I have to drive you home? Can't I fly?" Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

"Oh, by plane? But plane tickets are so expensive! You shouldn't even be able to get a ticket if you book at the last minute!" Xiao Qi said weakly.

"I've already made arrangements. Just come to Longjin Residential Area to find me at 8 a.m. tomorrow!" Ye Chen said calmly.

Xiao Qi's hand trembled slightly, and he unconsciously increased the pressure while massaging the shoulder: "Is it...is it settled?"

"Yes, yes, keep this pressure, keep going!" Ye Chen showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Master, are you really going to take me home?" Xiao Qi still looked incredulous.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly: "Yes, I'll also go and see if your family has any local specialties, and what kind of environment could produce a cultivation genius like you."

Ye Chen had always wanted to visit Xiao Qi's house.

After all, it is necessary for a master to care about the basic situation of his disciple's family.

I'll take advantage of the year-end holiday to go there.

"But, but Master, I, my family doesn't have much stuff, the road is very bad, you..." Xiao Qi's voice was barely audible as he spoke.

"I'm not going to stay at your house permanently, what's the rush?" Ye Chen snorted.

"Oh!" Xiao Qi said "oh" and didn't continue.

Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang; it was an unknown number.

Ye Chen answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

"Ye Chen, it's me, Lin Shuili. My dad has already made an appointment with that master; they'll be coming to my house soon. When would you like to see them?"

"Okay, I'll be right there. See you later!" Ye Chen said and hung up the phone.

"I have something to take care of, I need to go out for a bit!" Ye Chen said, getting up.

"Just go directly to Longjin Residential Area. There's a room available for you on the second floor. Bring your luggage and you won't have to travel back and forth!" Ye Chen said to Xiao Qi.

"Does Master want me to go with you?" Xiao Qi asked.

Ye Chen waved his hand: "It's not a blind date, so you don't need to oversee it for now. I'm going to catch some imposters. You can deal with these things later!"

After saying that, Ye Chen left the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Li Wenlong and Xiao Qi exchanged bewildered glances: "Senior brother, Master can catch floating objects?"

"I don't know? Hmm, it's not unreasonable for cultivators to be able to catch floating things!" Li Wenlong pondered, rubbing his chin.

......

Ten minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at the Half-Mountain Cloud Sea Villa.

When he arrived, the master that Lin Shuili had mentioned had not yet arrived.

"Ye Chen, you're here! You're here so fast! Are you just passing by?" Lin Shuili asked.

"Yeah, it just so happened to be nearby, so I came over!" Ye Chen nodded.

With Ye Chen's arrival, the chilling aura emanating from Lin Shuili vanished instantly.

This feeling is undeniable.

At this moment, Ye Chen was like a fireplace in the cold winter, making people want to get closer.

A moment later, a Maybach slowly pulled up in front of the villa.

Two middle-aged men got out of the car; one looked like a fat boss, and the other looked like a wise and sage.

If nothing unexpected happens, the people who come are Lin Shuili's father and that so-called master.

The portly shopkeeper ushered the middle-aged man, who had an air of otherworldly wisdom, into the courtyard: "Master Li, please!"

The venerable Master Li nodded slightly and stepped into the courtyard first.

Lin Shuili immediately went up to greet him, "Dad, Master Li!"

"Xiaoli, is that the person you were talking about? His name is Ye, Ye something!" Lin's father glanced at Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen!" Lin Shuili said, taking her father's hand.

"Oh, Ye Chen, what does his family do? What's their financial situation like? Although time is tight, I don't want you to just marry anyone!"

Lin's father patted Lin Shuili's hand and slowly spoke.

At this moment, Master Li spoke up: "Whether it's suitable or not, I'll just do a fortune telling for your daughter!"

Mr. Lin slapped his forehead: "Right, right, Master Li is here! I almost forgot about that. We'll have to trouble Master Li then!"

It's clear that Lin's father held this Master Li in high esteem.

"Of course, of course!" Master Li squinted at Ye Chen, seemingly lost in thought.

"Come in, come in and let's talk!" Lin's father called out and went inside first.

They treated Ye Chen like he was invisible the whole time, as if he were a son-in-law who had come to live with them, and didn't treat him very well.

Ye Chen and he were complete strangers. Their reunion today was purely by chance, and it all started because of Master Li. Therefore, his only target was Master Li.

As for Lin's father, to be honest, Ye Chen had no intention of befriending him.

Just finish what you need to do and leave!

After everyone had entered the house, Ye Chen closed the door behind him and slowly spoke:

"Mr. Lin, do you know why everything's going wrong in your family? It's because someone's set you up!"

Upon hearing this, Lin's father frowned instantly, glanced at Lin Shuili, and scolded, "You told me everything? Didn't I tell you to keep quiet?"

Lin Shuili lowered her head, not daring to look her father in the eye.

Master Li's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp as he looked at Ye Chen with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to see right through him.

"Ye Chen, right? You can't just say things like that. What do you mean by being set up?" Master Li said slowly.

Ye Chen glanced at Master Li, then looked at Lin's father: "This isn't anything shameful, so why hide it? Haven't you thought about why your family has been experiencing so much misfortune? Are you just thinking of using a 'lucky charm' to bring good fortune? Will a 'lucky charm' solve the root of the problem?"

Lin's father stared intently at Ye Chen, his eyes growing deep. After a long while, he spoke in a low voice, "Oh~, I'd like to hear what kind of nonsense you can spout!"

Ye Chen chuckled lightly: "Judging from your expression, you still don't believe me. But if I told you that your house has been afflicted by a ghost-raising formation, you definitely wouldn't believe me either!"

When Ye Chen mentioned the Ghost-Raising Array, Master Li trembled.
