The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan felt that what the fat man said made sense.

But they didn't know what Tian Boguang's purpose was in doing this.

"Anyway, you should think it through yourself. This Mengyao looks like a feisty little devil; she's not so easy to deal with."

"Keeping someone close could be a ticking time bomb."

The fat man kindly offered a reminder.

Hearing this, Chen Huan laughed instead, "What's wrong with Little Chili?"

"After eating all kinds of sweets, it's nice to change things up once in a while."

Actually, Chen Huan had another important reason that he didn't mention.

He knew that Mengyao had a fairly good foundation in cultivating qigong.

She was even more than a level above Ouyang Hong, whom he had first met.

If I find an opportunity to take Mengyao under my wing, we can definitely have a better discussion about cultivation.

I'm currently in an awkward bottleneck period. I've tried several times but haven't been able to break through, and I don't even know why.

Therefore, he wondered if he could find a breakthrough through Mengyao.

As for what Mengyao is really thinking, and what schemes Tian Boguang has up his sleeve, we can only deal with it as it comes.

The two chatted for a while, then heard footsteps behind them.

Mengyao walked over with a dejected expression, carrying only a small sports backpack.

"I don't have much luggage," Chen Huan said casually.

Mengyao rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

She has a cold and aloof mature woman vibe.

Chen Huan didn't think much of it, but the fat man was a little annoyed.

He muttered to himself, "Shall I just book a hotel for you two later?"

"Go and take care of the important business first."

Mengyao's face turned pale instantly, and fear even showed in her eyes.

Clearly, he had been worried about this all along.

Just when I feared most, the fat man advised Chen Huan to get straight to the point. He was really wicked.

Chen Huan smiled calmly, "Don't scare them."

"Let's go to the hospital to get checked out in a bit."

"I wonder what the situation is like there."

Hearing Chen Huan's response, Meng Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The way he looked at Chen Huan after that was no longer as cold and resentful as before.

I arrived in a car provided by the Medicine King Association.

The same was true when we went back.

On the way, Chen Huan sent Zhao Liping several messages, but she did not respond.

I figured it was probably because there were too many people attending the event that they were so busy.

In other words, Chen Huan didn't pay too much attention to it.

He initiated a conversation with Mengyao, asking, "Is your Medicine King Society really a tradition passed down from ancient times?"

Mengyao glanced at him and hummed in agreement.

The fat man suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Hey, there seems to be a budget hotel over there, it's quite close by."

Mengyao immediately tensed up, changed her attitude, and answered in detail, "As far as I know, that's how it is. Initially, it was a very mysterious and powerful organization."

"However, many things have been lost in the process of being passed down to this day."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been in this situation..."

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "What do you usually do? How do you make a living?"

Mengyao glanced at him again, "There are people in the club who specifically manage the business, but I don't know the specifics."

"So, does this business include refining some pills?" Chen Huan guessed casually.

Mengyao immediately tensed up, "How did you know?"

Chen Huan rubbed his nose and said, "The Medicine King Association must have some connection with medicine."

Mengyao nodded. "You're quite smart."

"We do produce some drugs that are rare on the market, but they are quite effective and are sold to high-ranking officials and wealthy people."

"The money obtained is enough to cover the association's expenses."

Seeing that Mengyao spoke with a hint of smugness and pride.

Chen Huan couldn't help but criticize, "It's really rare. Most people wouldn't make something like a corpse pill."

"After all, it's too immoral and too cruel, so it's not necessarily true."

Mengyao frowned. "Don't jump to conclusions. Does our local Medicine King know how to make corpse pills?"

"That kind of thing is strictly prohibited here."

Chen Huan blinked. "What do you mean by your local Medicine King Association?"

"Could it be that there is more than one Medicine King?"

Mengyao raised her eyebrows. "What, you didn't know?"

"The Medicine King Society was indeed originally an organization, but it later disintegrated and scattered throughout the country."

"It is said that there are even branches of the Medicine King Association overseas."

"We are just one of them."

Chen Huan stared in disbelief. "So, the guy I met before who made corpse-refining pills, the Medicine King he mentioned, isn't you?"

Chen Huan was able to tell from Meng Yao's expression that her information about whether the Medicine King she belonged to could refine evil drugs like Corpse Pills was accurate.

Looking at it this way, I realize I really did misunderstand them a bit.

"Of course not."

"You know, we may be enemies, but on matters of principle, we won't lie."

Chen Huan became increasingly embarrassed, rubbing her nose, unsure of what to say.

Meng Yao, on the other hand, became more talkative. "Have you encountered other members of the Medicine King Association before?"

"What did you do to him?"

"Given your temper, the other party probably won't have a good ending, right?"

Chen Huan coughed awkwardly twice. "Let's not talk about this."

"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that there were so many Medicine Kings."

"Are other places the same as yours?"

Mengyao frowned. "Are you referring to strength?"

"Are you trying to find out the details because you're afraid other members of the Medicine King Society will cause you trouble later?"

Chen Huan pursed her lips, "I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm just curious."

"Because I also have some knowledge of medicine."

Mengyao stared intently at him. "No wonder you were completely immune to my poison before."

"What exactly do you do? I was wondering if you were in the same line of work."

Chen Huan suddenly realized, "No wonder your association president inquired about my background before."

"You think I'm also a member of the Medicine King Society?"

Mengyao immediately responded, "Yes, Chairman Tian has such suspicions, which is why he had me follow you..."

At this point, I suddenly realized I had let something slip.

He quickly stopped talking.

Chen Huan grinned, "As expected, Tian Boguang wanted you to come with me to gather more information."

Mengyao seemed a little flustered. "Now that you know, what are your plans next?"

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "They've come to me willingly, I can't just send them back, can I?"

"Wouldn't this make you feel awkward?"

Mengyao snorted coldly, "You're not exactly a saint either, you're getting a good deal and still acting innocent."

"Aren't you afraid that if I stay by your side, I'll try to harm you at any moment?"

Chen chuckled, "That sounds pretty exciting, I'd love to give it a try."

Mengyao was silent for a moment, then asked timidly, "When you first took a liking to me, was it because of that?"
