Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Master He's thoughts were a bit jumbled, but he couldn't ignore Elder Chen's words.

So he went to consult another Foundation Establishment ancestor for a solution.

The final decision after discussion was that the poor family would follow Elder Chen's instructions and close the mountain!

As for Master He's hatred over the loss of his son, it could only be suppressed for the time being.

Whether there will be retaliation later, or whether it will be done in secret, remains to be seen.

That night, Master He issued an apology letter.

They showed great remorse and even offered a small sum of money as compensation!

It was also announced that the sect would be closed from today onwards for internal reorganization.

Within three years, no more students from impoverished families will appear in the world!

Since they have shown a good attitude in admitting their mistake and have also indicated that the mountain will be closed, there's nothing more to say.

It's not appropriate for BeiDou to make any more public moves.

The fact that people from poor families adopted a proper attitude served as a warning to others.

Beidou has regained its reputation, and the incident involving uneducated people can only be temporarily put to rest.

Ye Chen looked at the apology letter with some emotion.

Why don't people from poor families get excited?

Shouldn't they have raised an army to take revenge on him? How could they tolerate this?

Or have they sensed the danger behind them and decided to lay low for now?

In that case, he'll have to slow down or try a different approach if he wants to target those from poor families.

If Ye Chen were to openly continue his attack at this point, it would certainly give others grounds for criticism, and they would seem unwilling to let the matter rest.

There are probably people in the organization's upper echelons who are waiting to see him make a mistake!

He certainly couldn't hand over his weaknesses to someone else at this point.

But Ye Chen wasn't so magnanimous as to let the poor family off the hook; it was absolutely impossible.

Even if the other party closes the mountain and indicates that they will not take any further action against him, it won't work.

Promises between adults are best taken with a grain of salt; they're less reliable than a man's crotch, and nobody will actually believe them.

This is no ordinary grudge; it is the hatred of killing one's son in addition to the hatred of the sect's supreme elder being wiped out.

This blood feud can only be resolved with blood.

No one is so magnanimous as to truly forgive and forget!

How can anyone sleep soundly if an enemy sect is left to lurk there covetously?

Ye Chen himself was not afraid, but he still had family and friends around him.

If one day the poor family suddenly turns against him, the price will definitely be high, which is not what he wants to see.

Since we've already formed an enmity, and a deadly one at that, how can we not eliminate the root of the problem?

Ye Chen frowned in thought. If he wanted to make a move against the Han family, he would at least have to wait until they showed a weakness!

But the other party announced the closure of the mountain, and their attitude was very upright. Where is the flaw?

flaw......

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Wasn't there a poor student at the hotel?

That big, living person was full of flaws!

He must make good use of such a good chess piece!

Then both the poor and the outside world will have nothing to say!

At this moment, Xiaoling, who was still lounging around in the hotel, had no idea that she had become the key to Ye Chen breaking the deadlock!

She spent the whole day on her phone, so she naturally saw the news that Hanmen apologized and closed the mountain gate.

She was wondering if she should go back since the sect had closed its gates.

Why is the mountain gate being closed for no apparent reason?

Was he afraid of Ye Chen? Or did he have some other plan? Or had he encountered some danger?

Why hasn't anyone contacted her to ask her to go back?

Oh, she got a ton of calls during the day...

But no message was sent. Important things are always communicated via both text message and phone call.

Xiaoling decided to wait and see before deciding whether to go back.

She felt uneasy about going back now.

The young sect leader and the supreme elder have both perished; the sect leader certainly can't swallow this insult, and she didn't answer the phone this afternoon...

If I go back rashly, I'll just become the target of their anger!

Moreover, if the sect is in trouble, wouldn't it be even more unwise for her to go back now?

So Xiaoling ordered another takeout to calm her nerves.

Let's wait a while longer before discussing it further.

At least the sect leader's emotions have stabilized somewhat, and we'll only return after confirming there's no further danger to the commoner sect...

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, many businesses in Xiamen had already resumed operations, so the city seemed to have come back to life, with a sudden increase in the number of people.

There seem to be more people passing by the entrance of Xuanzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic than before.

People passing by would peek inside the TCM clinic before leaving.

They probably wanted to see if the great god Ye Chen was there!

During the Spring Festival, the matter concerning Ye Chen caused quite a stir.

Now that they are "realizing" Ye Chen's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, they still have some curiosity.

To their disappointment, Ye Chen, who was not focused on his studies, was not at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

That day, Ye Chen was brewing tea in the courtyard, while Zhou Caiwei was cultivating in the courtyard.

Lin Rongrong suddenly arrived...

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Rongrong, whose expression was slightly desolate, and sighed inwardly.

Everyone else looks greasy and shiny from the New Year celebrations, but she doesn't seem to have had a very happy holiday!

Lin Rongrong called out from outside the courtyard, "Ye Chen!"

Hearing the noise, Zhou Caiwei stopped her cultivation and glanced outside the courtyard.

She had met Lin Rongrong a few times and knew that she was Huang Dong's girlfriend.

To outsiders, she might seem like his girlfriend, since they've been living together for so long.

Zhou Caiwei glanced at Ye Chen with some confusion. Why did Ye Chen seem to dislike her?

Aren't he and Huang Dong good brothers?

Although Zhou Caiwei was puzzled, she chose to remain invisible at this time.

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Rongrong and said calmly, "Class monitor, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Lin Rongrong sensed the coldness in Ye Chen's words and nervously clutched the hem of her clothes. "Ye Chen, I... I know I made some mistakes, but I've realized them. Could you... could you help me arrange a meeting with Dongzi? I want to apologize to him!"

"Don't you know where Dongzi's villa is? Just go there directly. His villa isn't going anywhere. I can't influence his decision. I don't want to be the middleman in your affairs!"

Ye Chen refused outright!

In the past, Ye Chen might have hesitated to refuse people out of consideration for his old classmate.

He used to be bad at refusing people, and he suffered a lot because of it.

But having experienced more, he is now very decisive in refusing others.

Refuse to do things you don't want to do.

A clean break is better for both sides!

Interfering in other people's romantic relationships never brings any good and can easily lead to trouble.

Lin Rongrong clearly did not expect Ye Chen to refuse so decisively this time.

"Ye Chen, I... I... please, for the sake of our classmate relationship, do me a favor!"

"You know Dongzi loves me, and you don't want us to end up like this, right? For your brother's happiness, shouldn't you try to persuade him?"

Lin Rongrong played the emotional card.

However, this move was no longer effective against Ye Chen.

Ye Chen shook his head: "I respect Dongzi's choice, and I won't interfere in your affairs. I won't offer any further opinions on your relationship. Whether you end up together or not is none of my concern. Go find him yourself!"
