Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen was both amused and exasperated. Well, this was quite a spectacle.

Looks like I'll have to wear a mask when I go out from now on.

Surrounded by a group of girls asking for autographs and photos, this treatment is simply the best he's ever received in Xiamen!

If a boy saw this, he would become a public enemy!

In the end, Ye Chen still fulfilled the girls' requests, signing autographs for some and taking photos with others.

Make sure every fan leaves satisfied.

After seeing them off, Ye Chen repeatedly reminded everyone not to let anyone else come, as it would disrupt the normal order of the clinic.

Although there weren't many people at the clinic today, it's not good if fans keep coming.

Is he here to see patients or to hold a fan meeting?

About 10 minutes later, two more girls walked in through the door.

Ye Chen rubbed his forehead, and then...

Fortunately, there were only two people this time, which is better than fewer people, at least there won't be any chatter.

The two girls who came in this time were dressed in a retro style.

She has a somewhat ethereal, fairy-like appearance.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh that the quality of his fans was quite high.

With looks, figure, and style, she could easily become a minor internet celebrity if she started a live stream online.

As Ye Chen was secretly admiring the scene, one of the more aloof girls spoke up.

"You must be Ye Chen!"

Her voice had an ethereal quality, as if she were a fairy who didn't eat the food of this world.

Although her voice is very pleasant, it doesn't always feel comfortable to listen to.

I guess it's because he doesn't like that tone of voice; it gives off a cold and arrogant vibe.

At least one thing is certain: the newcomers are probably not his fans, because they don't have the same fervor as the previous fans.

Not a fan, then...

Ye Chen shook his head: "No, what do you want with Ye Chen?"

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the aloof girl's expression remained unchanged.

However, another girl who seemed rather shy immediately frowned. She took out her phone, looked at it, and then looked at Ye Chen.

After scrutinizing her several times, she became somewhat annoyed: "You are clearly Ye Chen, please don't lie to me, okay?"

Ye Chen shrugged: "Fine, since you even have a photo, just pretend I'm Ye Chen. What do you want with Ye Chen?"

The aloof woman nodded expressionlessly: "As long as you're Ye Chen, someone wants to see you. Come with us!"

Her voice remained ethereal, and her words seemed to carry an undeniable charm.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourselves first? How am I supposed to know you're not just after my body?" Ye Chen smiled slightly.

These two are interesting; they immediately wanted him to go with them.

The reason is that someone wants to see him?!

This is hardly taking him seriously.

Why can't you come to see him in person? Why make him go to see you? How arrogant do you have to be?

The aloof and beautiful woman remained calm, saying indifferently, "We come from a humble family. Our young master wishes to see you and specifically sent us to invite you over!"

Ye Chen nodded: "From a poor family, huh? I'm familiar with that. I myself come from a poor family!"

The aloof and beautiful girl frowned slightly: "Ye Chen, I'm not joking with you!"

Seeing that the other party finally reacted, Ye Chen said half-jokingly:

"Oh, so you can get angry too. I thought you were a robot!"

The aloof girl frowned and stared coldly at Ye Chen, without saying a word!

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, or rather, somewhat stagnant.

"Ye Chen, stop grinning like that. We're talking to you very seriously!" the girl who seemed rather shy said unhappily.

Ye Chen shrugged: "Boring. You can go back now. I know many people from humble backgrounds. I don't know who your young master is. If he wants me to treat his illness, he can come over himself!"

"You—" The seemingly shy girl gritted her teeth, pointed angrily at Ye Chen, and seemed to be preparing to speak.

The aloof and beautiful woman spoke again: "Do you know the true value of the words 'humble family'? Our young master is the only son of the sect leader of this humble family, and also our young sect leader. For him to invite you over is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes, you know?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Yes, yes, this is too much of a blessing for me, I am not worthy of it, so please leave!"

Upon closer inspection, it appears that both girls are also cultivators, with their cultivation level likely between the second and fourth levels of Qi Refining.

Based on what she said, the "humble family" she mentioned should be a esoteric sect.

However, how poor must a prestigious sect be to have such a name?

Ye Chen had indeed never heard of a sect with such a name; it was probably a hidden sect.

Of course, it's also possible that he's ignorant and doesn't know, which is quite normal.

He's only been involved with the Xuanmen (Taoist sects) for a short time; how could he possibly know about so many different sects?

The aloof girl seemed surprised that Ye Chen would refuse so decisively.

"Ye Chen, don't think you can be arrogant just because you joined Tian Shu. You need to know that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your current level. You're only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so you should keep a low profile!"

The aloof and beautiful woman spoke coldly, her words carrying a strong warning.

Ye Chen gave her a strange look: "Is there no internet in your village? Don't you watch any of the latest trending short videos?"

Eighth level of Qi Refining? That's information from last year. Don't you guys update your data?

The aloof girl was slightly taken aback. Short videos? What short videos?

"Stop rambling. I'm having a serious conversation with you. Those kinds of entertainment videos only interfere with our cultivation. I never watch them!!!"

Ye Chen instantly understood; these guys really didn't have internet access in their village.

Even if they have internet access, they don't use it much; they only know how to cultivate.

It seems like the kind of hermit who lives in the mountains where time seems to stand still.

Perhaps for them, the internet is mostly used for looking up information.

Their understanding of Ye Chen was still based on what they had known not long ago; they thought he was just a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

I have no idea what has happened in the past week.

No wonder he dared to speak to Ye Chen in that manner.

If they had watched the trending videos during the Chinese New Year, they would probably know that Ye Chen's true strength was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

If they knew that Ye Chen was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I wonder what they would think?

Will he still be so aloof when he speaks?

They should be able to speak properly then, right?

"Alright, since you're all focused on your cultivation, there's nothing more to say!"

Ye Chen suddenly felt that he had nothing in common with the other party, and he was too lazy to explain anything. He even lost the desire to show off.

These people haven't seen his videos, so no matter how much he brags, it's useless.

So what if he's at the eighth level of Qi Refining? As long as you're happy. He even wants the whole world to think he's at the eighth level of Qi Refining!

Ye Chen shook his head: "You two should go back. My TCM clinic is busy; I have to see patients here and can't leave. If your young master needs anything, let him come over himself. What are you two doing here?"

"Ye Chen, have you thought this through? So many people want to curry favor with our young sect leader, and you actually dare to refuse? Do you know how foolish this decision is? Beidou can't protect you forever!"

Some shy girls gritted their teeth and spoke up.
