Ye Si had just stepped out of the hospital when she received a call from Lu Chengsheng.

As soon as she answered the call, an anxious and excited voice rang out from the other end. “Leader, I have some news about the spiritual ginseng. Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up.”

“I’m at Hortford Hospital.”

“Why are you at that unlucky place again? I’m just nearby. You don’t move, okay? I’ll come and pick you up.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Ye Si stood under a big tree by the road, looking down at the mottled shadows with a faint smile on her face.

Now that she had spiritual energy in her body and had received news of the spiritual ginseng, there was finally hope for Grandpa Xi’s illness.

About ten minutes later, Lu Chengsheng came speeding over in a super eye-catching Chevrolet in bumblebee colors. Today, he was wearing a nice and cool t-shirt with work overalls, but that only made the silk scarf on his head appear even more gaudy.

He got out of the car and opened the door like a gentleman. He bowed mischievously and said, “Leader, please get in the car.”

Ye Si smiled and patted his head. “If your fans find out, will they form a queue to beat me up?”

“They wouldn’t dare! Leader, don’t worry. I have taken precautions to guard against my identity’s sudden exposure. I won’t cause you any trouble.”

As they were talking, a plain black Maybach luxury car passed by the two.

In the car, Mu Feng was driving conscientiously as he reported, “Mr. Xi, I’ve just received news that the thing you’re looking for has been found.”

No one responded from the backseat.

Mu Feng glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Xi Zhimo’s eyes were fixed on something outside the window. His face was so ominous it was terrifying.

Mu Feng followed his gaze and looked out of the window, and he suddenly understood.

Wasn’t this Miss Ye and the man who had bumped into Xi Zhimo?

Why were they together?

After a long while, Mu Feng still did not receive any reply from Xi Zhimo.

He could only endure the huge pressure in his heart and asked again, “Mr. Xi?”

“Find out who that lunatic is,” Xi Zhimo ordered with a displeased expression.

“Yes, Sir.” Mu Feng took the opportunity to continue. “Mr. Xi, we have some news on the 10,000-year-old ginseng you’re looking for. It will be put up for auction at the underground auction hall in Herlesburg. The auction will start the day after tomorrow.”

Xi Zhimo’s dark eyes grew more icy. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? We’ll head straight to the airport.”

Mu Feng had no way to defend himself and could only turn around at the next intersection in silence.

In the other car, Lu Chengsheng told Ye Si the time and place. Ye Si asked with a puzzled look, “It is such a rare treasure. Why are they in such a hurry?”

Lu Chengsheng grinned and replied, “I don’t know. But these things are not important. As long as we can spend money to settle it, it’s good enough, isn’t it?”

Ye Si didn’t say anything. She took out her phone and started to book plane tickets.

Lu Chengsheng quickly stopped her. “Leader, I’ve already prepared the plane ticket and luggage for you. We’re on our way to the airport now.”

“Not bad, Number Nine. You have become so reliable when you carry out your tasks now.”

“Hehe! It’s our duty as underlings to provide comprehensive service to our Leader.” Lu Chengsheng tilted his head and happened to see Ye Si moving her fingertips slightly. He exclaimed, “No way, no way! Leader, you’ve only been reborn for a few days, and you’re already able to deploy the Oracular Skill? You’ve already absorbed spiritual energy into your body?”

“Mm-hmm. I possessed the spiritual energy-gathering body when I was reborn, so I could absorb spiritual energy.”

Ye Si didn’t hide anything or beat about the bush. As she spoke, she sent a message to her parents, telling them she was going on a two-day trip and reminding them not to worry.

At this moment, Lu Chengsheng’s face was filled with disbelief. The Leader was actually reborn with the spiritual energy-gathering body!

Tsk! Tsk! This was already beyond fortune smiling upon her. In fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that the entire heaven was smiling and heaping blessings on her.

Lu Chengsheng recalled that he had trained hard for ten years after rebirth, yet he couldn’t even take half a step onto the path of cultivation. A child who wasn’t favored by fortune was simply pitiful.

Ye Si knew what he was thinking, so she spoke up to comfort him, “Don’t be discouraged. I’ll help you when I have the chance.”

Lu Chengsheng’s mood immediately lightened substantially. He said obsequiously, “Thank you, Leader. You’re really beautiful and kind, with the heart of a Buddha. You’re the religious faith in my life, the lighthouse in the dark, the guiding beacon in the confusion, and in my uncertainty…”

“Drive carefully.

“Alrighty!”

Someone’s over-the-top flattery was ruthlessly cut off.
