While crafting the elixir, Jiang Chen turned off his phone because this wasn't just any ordinary elixir, and he needed to devote himself entirely without any disturbances.
Thus, Jiang Chen's phone had been off for three days!
"Hello, Jing Yi!" Jiang Chen dialed Ye Jingyi's number.
In Yan Hu's mouth, the lady was Ye Jingyi, Gong Lin was Miss Gong, and Yè Yùwán was Miss Yè, because Yan Hu knew that Jiang Chen treated all three women very well.
But the most important in his heart was still Ye Jingyi!
"Jiang Chen, the chairman of Hualong Group's grandfather is celebrating his hundredth birthday, and they have invited us to attend the birthday feast. They specifically asked for both you and your disciple to come. When on earth did you take on a disciple? Don't lead him astray, you!"
Ye Jingyi's teasing voice came through the receiver, filled with an excited emotion.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Where are you?"
"I'm at the Jiang Family." Ye Jingyi spoke softly.
"I'll be right back!" Jiang Chen said softly, his voice tender as he detected the longing in Ye Jingyi's words, feeling a warmth surge in his heart.
Ye Jingyi and the other two women had been following him, and although he had been rushing around recently and not spending much time with them, they had not complained at all, which made Jiang Chen feel a sense of guilt towards the three women.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the Jiang Family!" Ye Jingyi's voice clearly carried a touch of joy.
After hanging up, Jiang Chen looked up at the Elder of Chixiao and said softly, "Elder, I must leave now!"
"Good!" The Elder of Chixiao did not retain Jiang Chen, having heard the phone call and knowing Jiang Chen had matters to tend to.
Nodding slightly, Jiang Chen called Yan Hu and a few others, and then he began descending the mountain.
"Young Master!"
"Master!"
"Mr. Jiang!"
At the mountainside, Jiang Chen met with Yan Hu and the others but was somewhat surprised to see Mo Tianze and Mo Tiancheng," Venerable Sir, Elder Wu, are you also descending the mountain?"
"It's time to leave! After being here for such a long time and finally convincing this fellow to come around, I must hurry and take him back to the family to visit!" Mo Tiancheng said with a beaming smile.
Jiang Chen glanced at Mo Tianze and smiled slightly. The two brothers had both broken through to the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm. Since they had broken through, it meant their mental states had been elevated, and it seemed their past grievances were now resolved!
"Well then, let's all go together!" Jiang Chen called out, and everyone headed down the mountain.
At the mountain foot, the Mo brothers bid farewell to Jiang Chen and left on their own, while Jiang Chen and his group got into a car and headed toward Jincheng.
Jiang Family of Jincheng.
In Jiang Chen's loft at the Jiang Family, Ye Jingyi, with a joyful face, ran from the bedroom to the living room, where Gong Lin and Yè Yùwán were sitting, both with a hint of sadness in their expressions.
"Lin Lin, Yu Wan, Jiang Chen is coming back!" As soon as Ye Jingyi entered the living room, she shared the good news with her sisters, smiling broadly.
"Really!?"
"This damned guy, he finally remembers to come back!"
Gong Lin and the two exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong with you two?" Ye Jingyi noticed the faint sadness in their expressions only now.
Gong Lin hesitated, turning her head to look at Yè Yùwán.
Yè Yùwán slightly furrowed her brows and pouted, "That Wu Liancheng from the Wu Family, he's been pestering me every day, nearly driving me crazy!"
"Didn't you tell him you are with Jiang Chen?" Ye Jingyi frowned slightly, sitting down beside Yè Yùwán.
Yè Yùwán said in a deep voice, "I mentioned it, but he seemed to have some backing, a look of not fearing Jiang Chen, and moreover…"
Her voice paused for a moment as Yè Yùwán looked towards Gong Lin.
Gong Lin spoke softly, "There was a problem with the extraction of the diamond mine in Diamond Country. Originally, we had an agreement with the local elders, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly broke the contract and said that if we wanted to cooperate with them, Yùwàn must be with Wu Liancheng."
"What? How did the officials of Diamond Country get involved with Wu Liancheng?" Ye Jingyi asked in surprise.
"I'm not very clear about that either, but I think the Wu Family must have a strong backing behind them, otherwise they wouldn't dare to entangle Yùwàn despite the pressure from the Jiang Family!" Gong Lin said gravely.
Ye Jingyi nodded, "That must be it. Let's wait for Jiang Chen to return and talk to him about it; he has many connections, so he might be able to find out who is behind the Wu Family."
"Hmm!" Gong Lin and the others nodded in agreement.
Bang bang bang!
A series of knocks sounded. Yè Yùwán stood up and opened the door, "Uncle Jiang."
The person standing at the door was Jiang Minglong. After waking up in Chixiao Sect, he had left as soon as his injuries improved and hurried back to the Jiang Family, which was desperately in need of manpower. With Jiang Chen running around everywhere, Jiang Minglong took charge of overseeing the Jiang Family, unwilling to burden the already heartbroken Elder Master Jiang any further.
Jiang Minglong smiled slightly, speaking softly, "I won't come in. Call Yue Jingyi and Lin Lin to come eat with me at my place, your aunt made dumplings."
"Okay," Yè Yùwán nodded.
Jiang Minglong did not enter, instead, he turned and left.
Although Jiang Minglong was Jiang Chen's father, since only Ye Jingyi and the other two women were in Jiang Chen's loft at the moment, it was proper for Jiang Minglong to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
"What's wrong? Was it Uncle Jiang?" Ye Jingyi approached the door with the others.
"Hmm!" Yè Yùwán nodded, "Uncle came to invite us to eat dumplings."
"Uncle came to invite us himself?" Ye Jingyi asked again.
Yè Yùwán responded somewhat perplexed, "Yes, what about it?"
"This… If it were just a simple meal, a phone call would have sufficed. Him coming personally to our door… it's probably not just about having a meal," Ye Jingyi said with a hint of apprehension.
Although the three women had established a relationship with Jiang Chen for quite some time, they were still somewhat afraid of displeasing Jiang Minglong and his wife.
"Is this… could it be…" Gong Lin hesitated, speaking tentatively, her face slightly flushed.
"What's wrong?" Both Ye Jingyi and the other woman turned to look at Gong Lin.
Gong Lin stammered, "Your aunt talked to me yesterday, saying… saying…"
"Saying what?" Yè Yùwán asked urgently.
"Aunt said, the Jiang Family is not very populated right now, it's time… time to add some vitality!" Gong Lin said with a flushed face.
"Vitality?!" Yè Yùwán frowned in confusion, "What does that mean? Are we recruiting guards or housekeepers?"
A realization flashed through Ye Jingyi's eyes, and she blushed slightly, teasingly said, "Yùwán, why don't you handle this adding vitality?
"Right, right, you handle it!" Gong Lin quickly nodded.
"Sure, that's just hiring people, no problem," Yè Yùwán casually said.
As she spoke, Yè Yùwán turned and walked out of the loft.
Behind her, Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin exchanged glances and covered their mouths, giggling silently.
Yè Yùwán turned her head with a look of confusion.
Once the three women arrived at the residence of Jiang Minglong and Shen Xiaoqin, and after they finished their meal, Yè Yùwán finally understood why Ye Jingyi and the other had laughed.
