Chapter 1764: Sweeping Away the Clouds

Zhai Lingxiu followed, saying, “That’s right, don’t be afraid of that bastard. With me here, I don’t believe he can cause any trouble.”

After speaking, she picked up a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of Tai Chi Taro Puree, blew on it vigorously, then slowly brought it to her mouth.

“Oh my, this is really too delicious!”

After one bite, she immediately cried out joyfully, then launched an attack on the delicious food in front of her.

Seeing that neither of them took the He Family seriously, Kang Yongnian stopped saying anything and likewise picked up his chopsticks to enjoy the delicious food in front of him.

Although He Changqing had left, the ingredients for the two dishes he left behind were still good, and Ye Bufan simply rearranged them.

First, he took out some seafood soy sauce and other dipping sauces, re-seasoned the Immortal Fish, as for the fragrant deer meat, it was much simpler, mixed with sesame oil and Lao Gan Ma, the taste immediately improved by several Ranks.

“Young man, your cooking skills are truly superb.”

Kang Yongnian took another bite of the fragrant deer meat and immediately praised it profusely, giving a thumbs up.

“Young man, why don’t you come to my restaurant to be the head chef? I’ll give you 1 million Golden Coins a year.”

Zhai Lingxiu’s face immediately showed a look of astonishment. A salary of 1 million Golden Coins a year was absolutely top-tier throughout the entire Kunlun Continent. This Old Man was truly willing to spend a fortune for food.

Ye Bufan picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, then nodded with satisfaction.

“Old Man, thank you for your kindness, but I still prefer to be a doctor.”

What a joke, not to mention that his first priority was to find a way to return to Earth, even if he stayed, he couldn’t be a chef here.

After all, the items in the Storage Ring were consumed with each use, only enough for himself to enjoy, how could he possibly give them to others?

Most importantly, he wasn’t short of money now. The Storage Ring had almost 10 billion Golden Coins, so how could he put a million-dollar salary in his eyes?

The three of them sat there, eating and drinking, having a great time.

Meanwhile, on He Changqing’s side, he returned to the He Family in a state of disarray with his men, and immediately began to furiously gather his forces.

The Family Head He Tianda and Grand Elder Su Boya were both absent, so he gathered the remaining Elders, a total of 5 Nascent Soul Stage experts and 20 Golden Core Stage experts, then aggressively returned to Zuixian Restaurant.

In his opinion, with so many experts, even Zhai Lingxiu couldn’t stop him. Today, no matter what, he would tear that young Shopkeeper into ten thousand pieces.

He had just left with his group when He Tianda and Su Boya returned.

They had just received news that the Shang Family had been wiped out overnight, so they personally went to investigate the situation.

Upon arriving, they found that the rumors were true. The Shang Family was indeed deserted, completely turned into a haunted house, and all the core figures had disappeared.

The two of them immediately became worried. After all, the three Families were not far apart in strength, and the Shang Family’s true strength was even slightly stronger than the He Family’s.

Now that even the Shang Family had been wiped out overnight, didn’t that mean that if the other party wished, they could also wipe out the He Family overnight?

He Tianda arranged for people to investigate, and the final result was surprisingly odd.

The reason the Shang Family was wiped out was because they had offended Ye Bufan, the new young Shopkeeper of Taiping Medical Center. The legend said they were wiped out by the teacher hidden behind that person.

He Tianda said with a solemn expression, “Grand Elder, what kind of cultivation do you think is needed to silently wipe out the entire Shang Family?”

Su Boya also had a grave expression: “In terms of strength, a Soul Transformation Stage expert could wipe out the Shang Family, but they absolutely couldn’t do it as silently as this, not even a single corpse can be found. I guess the other party should be at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage, or even stronger.”

He Tianda nodded in agreement: “That’s indeed the case. It seems that the background of that Young man is truly extraordinary.

When we go back, we must tell those below that before thoroughly investigating the other party’s background, we absolutely cannot provoke them, otherwise the Shang Family will be a lesson for us.”

As the two of them spoke, they returned home. Upon entering, they found something amiss. The Family was unusually quiet, and most of the experts guarding the He Family were absent.

He Tianda immediately called over the gate guard: “What’s going on? Where are the people in the Family? Where have they all gone?”

The guard quickly and respectfully said, “The Da Shao just returned, and everyone was taken out.”

“What did he take people out to do?”

He Tianda was a bit surprised.

“I’m not entirely sure about that, but the Da Shao looked very angry, and his mouth seemed to be scalded, I don’t know why.”

He Tianda nodded, not taking it too seriously. For large Families like theirs, it was quite normal to take people out for revenge.

But just as he had walked two steps, a guard beside him whispered.

“Family Head, I did hear something. At that time, the Da Shao was very angry and kept cursing a young Shopkeeper from a medical center. It’s very likely he took people to deal with him.”

Upon hearing these words, He Tianda immediately (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) trembled as if electrocuted, immediately stopped his steps, and asked with a grave expression: “Do you know what that young Shopkeeper’s name is?”

“This subordinate does not know, I only heard the Da Shao say his surname seemed to be Ye.”

“A young Shopkeeper surnamed Ye?”

Upon receiving this answer, He Tianda and Su Boya exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

There weren't many medical centers in Tianlang City to begin with, and young men surnamed Ye were even rarer. Thus, the answer was already obvious: it seemed that the one He Changqing was going to deal with was Ye Bufan of Taiping Medical Center.

But just now, the Shang Family was annihilated overnight because they provoked him. Now his own son was going to provoke that person. Isn’t this courting death?

Suddenly, a chill rose from the bottom of He Tianda’s heart. He grabbed the guard and asked, “When did the Da Shao leave? In what direction did he go?”

The guard was startled, unable to understand how the usually calm Family Head could become like this.

He stammered, “He left about a quarter of an hour ago, saying he was going to Zuixian Restaurant.”

He Tianda threw him aside, then soared into the air and sped towards Zuixian Restaurant, with Su Boya following closely behind.

At this moment, the two of them had only one thought: they hoped they could make it in time, that things had not yet reached an irreversible point.

At Zuixian Restaurant, Ye Bufan looked helplessly at the empty table in front of him. Logically speaking, there were quite a few dishes prepared today, enough for at least three people.

But Zhai Lingxiu and Kang Yongnian, like starving ghosts who hadn’t eaten for days, devoured everything in a whirlwind. Before he had barely touched his chopsticks, everything had already been swept clean by the two of them.

Even the two dishes He Changqing left behind were eaten completely after he modified them.

“Satisfying! I haven’t eaten this satisfyingly in a long time!”

Kang Yongnian drained the half-glass of wine in front of him, then wiped his mouth, a look of contentment on his face.

“Little brother, if you have any more delicious food in the future, just bring it to my Zuixian Restaurant. This Old Man is willing to taste it with you.”

Ye Bufan had a line of black on his forehead. Damn, this Old Man is truly shameless. You’re not a beautiful woman, why would I bring you if I have good food?

And “taste it together”—it’s clearly all for you to eat.

And just then, a noisy commotion came from outside the door, followed by an angry shout from downstairs: “Ye, get out here!”
