Chapter 52 - Ye Chen visit Gu Yunqi

“You’ve recovered so quickly?” Lin Xiyan asked, somewhat stunned, looking at Ye Chen sitting opposite her.

She couldn’t detect the faintness in him anymore. Although he hadn’t fully regained his strength, he seemed mostly restored. Did he possess some special constitution? It had only been three days, and Ye Chen had seemingly been resurrected from near death.

“It’s all thanks to the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Dew Pill master gave me,” Ye Chen said with a wry smile, not hiding anything. Lin Xiyan was smart; even if he didn’t say it, she would have guessed it soon enough.

“Master is really partial…” Lin Xiyan mused with a hint of jealousy in her voice. All seven sisters had joined the sect earlier than Ye Chen, but in the end, the master gave the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Dew Pill to Ye Chen.

They hadn’t even seen it. She knew of the miraculous healing effects of the pill, no wonder Ye Chen recovered so quickly.

“So, are you here to give me the formula for the Beauty Pill?” Lin Xiyan asked with anticipation.

“Um…” Ye Chen nodded. Despite reluctance in his heart, he pulled out an ancient formula and handed it to Lin Xiyan. After all, he had promised her and couldn’t go back on his word.

Lin Xiyan’s hands trembled as she held the formula, her heart pounding with excitement. With the formula for the Beauty Pill, her Lin family might ascend to the top echelons of Jiāng city.

She didn’t doubt whether Ye Chen would give her a fake formula; despite their average relationship, she was his senior sister, and she believed he wouldn’t deceive her.

“In three days, it will be my grandfather’s 70th birthday. I know you want to make a name for yourself, and I will help you make connections then,” Lin Xiyan said, deeply inhaling and trying to calm her excitement.

She had principles; the value of the Beauty Pill formula in her hands far exceeded the three billion she gave Ye Chen. Since he wanted to make a splash in the upper circles of Jiāng city, she might as well help him out.

“Then, thank you, senior sister,” Ye Chen finally smiled, relieved. He was worried about not having someone to introduce him to that circle, and now Lin Xiyan was voluntarily offering help.

Having completely offended Shen Qingqiu, he really didn’t know how to contact these elites. Now, Ye Chen felt much more balanced; after all, the Beauty Pill wouldn’t be much useful in his hands.

“Alright, I’ll leave first if there’s nothing else,” Lin Xiyan smiled and then stood up to leave in her domestic sedan. Her priority was to discuss the production of the Beauty Pill with her father.

Watching Lin Xiyan drive away, Ye Chen began to ponder. As far as he knew, except for his second and fifth senior sisters, the others were all in Jiāng city.

To establish himself quickly in Jiāng city, he certainly needed the help of a few senior sisters. Though their family backgrounds were not as prominent as the eldest sister’s, they were more than capable of helping him rise.

“With only three days left until Elder Lin’s grand celebration, I should visit my third senior sister first…”

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and then headed towards the exit. His sixth senior sister, an icy character, was likely with Shen Qingqiu, as they shared a similar cold demeanor and got along well, especially considering that the former was an orphan. As for his seventh senior sister…

Just the thought of the white-haired lolita made Ye Chen’s heart skip a beat. She might look deceivingly young and cute, with her petite stature of only 1.5 meters, but she was notoriously crafty and merciless when it came to pranks.

Moreover, Ye Chen had heard that his third senior sister, Gu Yunqi, wielded considerable influence in the underground world of Linjiang City.

If Gu Yunqi was willing to help him, it would be the fastest way for his rise to power. He was determined to dominate both the legitimate and underground sectors.

“One day… I will stand at the pinnacle of this city!” Ye Chen vowed as he stepped out of the café, gazing at the surrounding skyscrapers.

In the vast city of Linjiang, he had no place to call his own. He must succeed, if not for anything else, then for himself.

“Mr, I’m heading to the Blue’s Bar,” Ye Chen hailed a taxi and directed it towards his destination.

Arriving outside the Blue’s Bar, Ye Chen paid the taxi fare and got out. He had learned from Lin Xiyan that his third senior sister often spent her time drinking in her bar.

“Sorry, sir, our bar is not open during the day,” the security guard at the entrance politely stopped Ye Chen, looking at him as if he were a fool.

Doesn’t he know bars don’t operate during the day? What was he doing at a bar in broad daylight?

“I’m not here to drink. I’m looking for your boss, Gu Yunqi,” Ye Chen replied with a smile, not offended by the guard’s actions. Having been humbled by past experiences, he now respected basic human decency.

“And what do you need our boss for?” the guard asked suspiciously, knowing that if the boss had an appointment, they would usually be informed in advance.

Moreover, Gu Yunqi had a slight aversion to men, so most visitors were women. Those who fancied themselves as charming and tried to approach her usually ended up ‘disappearing’.

“I’m her junior brother. Please let her know I’m here. She’ll see me,” Ye Chen assured.

“Alright, wait here then,” the guard hesitated but decided to inform her, aware of Gu Yunqi’s unpredictable nature.

If this guy really was her junior brother and he didn’t let him in, he’d be in trouble. He also knew about Gu Yunqi’s history of apprenticeship and that she had only recently taken over the family business.
