"Achoo!"
Chen Nan sneezed loudly as soon as he arrived at the medical hall.
"Could it be that Xia Zhi misses me so soon?"
Chen Nan rubbed his nose, thinking of Chen Xia Zhi's reluctant look when he sent her to Yingcai International School.
There were two reasons for sending Chen Xia Zhi to school.
First, to let her learn knowledge, get into her favorite university, and thus change her destiny.
Besides that, he had a little ulterior motive.
Once Chen Xia Zhi left home, she wouldn't have to follow him around all day.
He could also find an opportunity to mend his relationship with his third sister, Chen Han Lu.
Yes.
The reason he and Chen Han Lu were like strangers had a lot to do with Chen Xia Zhi.
For example, after the siblings quarreled, Chen Han Lu would forgive him as long as Chen Nan said a few words of appeasement.
But after the two younger sisters grew up, they learned to be jealous.
Especially after rejecting Chen Han Lu that year, she already disliked him, not to mention Chen Xia Zhi fanning the flames.
As a result, it directly deepened the hatred between the siblings.
But now, it was different.
Chen Xia Zhi had gone to a boarding school, and he could take advantage of this time to repair the rift between him and Chen Han Lu.
------
Half an hour later.
Chen Nan earned twenty yuan.
He had completed today's task.
Then he found paper and pen and wrote down the medicinal ingredients for refining the Qi Enlightenment Pill.
Qi Enlightenment Pill, this was a celestial elixir.
It required over thirty kinds of precious medicinal materials to refine, and once successful, it could make a person have a photographic memory and be exceptionally intelligent.
This was what he prepared for Chen Xia Zhi.
This girl's academic performance was average, and even if she studied from the first year of high school to the third year, she might not be able to get into a key university, let alone be a third-year student now.
Therefore, as an elder brother, he had to prepare a Qi Enlightenment Pill for her.
Only in this way could she make a stunning debut in the college entrance examination next year.
"Sister Shan Shan, can I come up?"
Chen Nan went to the second floor and greeted her politely.
He Shan Shan's gentle voice came, "Come up!"
Chen Nan chuckled and went to the second floor. "Well, I have to go out for a while, can you look after things for me?"
???
He Shan Shan was confused.
When did this guy become so polite?
When he doesn't act mischievous, I feel a little unaccustomed...
Wait...
Could he have lost interest in me?
For some reason, He Shan Shan felt a strange anxiety.
Even so, she still said, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I'll call you if anything comes up."
The moment Chen Nan turned to go downstairs, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Although he didn't know how to pursue women, he knew about playing hard to get.
This kind of thing had to be done with a balance, like nine shallow and one... deep...
------
At noon, Chen Nan left Yangxin Hall with some medicinal ingredients.
Although Yangxin Hall was the largest pharmacy in Jizhou, it did not have all thirty-six medicinal ingredients for refining the Qi Enlightenment Pill. One reason was that these ingredients were very expensive, and even if he spent all his savings, he was still short of several kinds of herbs.
Especially the Thousand-Year Dragon Saliva Incense and Hundred-Year Epiphyllum, these two main ingredients.
Even Yangxin Hall dared not promise to obtain them, only saying that they would try to inquire about their whereabouts.
Chen Nan was not too worried about this.
After all, being anxious was useless.
Because whether it was the Thousand-Year Dragon Saliva Incense or the Hundred-Year Epiphyllum, both were heavenly treasures, and even if they could be found, they would be priceless.
The immediate task was to make money, the more the better.
"Old Jiang, help me inquire about the whereabouts of Thousand-Year Dragon Saliva Incense and Hundred-Year Epiphyllum." Chen Nan called Jiang Jian Cheng.
Actually, calling Li Ping An would be more effective for this matter.
After all, Li Ping An was a disciple of the Red Handkerchief.
Once he mobilized the entire Outer Eight Sects, he would surely be able to find both herbs in the shortest possible time.
And deliver them to him for free.
However, before Wu Shan passed away, he had instructed him that although the Outer Eight Sects were united, there were also contempt and disputes within them.
If Chen Nan revealed his identity, although the Eight Sects would do things for him, they would not be convinced, and he would even be severely looked down upon.
So.
Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to use the connections of the Outer Eight Sects.
This was also why Chen Nan had not summoned those people from the Outer Eight Sects.
Because in the eyes of the Outer Eight Sects now, he was just a small figure, with a higher seniority at most!
"Chen Nan, hurry back, the medical hall has been sealed."
While waiting for a car by the roadside, Chen Nan received a call from He Shan Shan.
Her tone was anxious and revealed unease.
"Sister Shan Shan, don't worry, I'll be right back!"
Chen Nan kept looking left and right, hoping to see a taxi, but there were very few cars on the road at noon.
Just then.
A Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped in front of him.
The passenger window rolled down, revealing a stunningly beautiful face: "Handsome guy, where are you going? Do you want a ride?"
Chen Nan did not stand on ceremony, opened the door and got in. "Take me to the shantytown, thank you!"
Sister Jiu started the car and drove towards the shantytown at the fastest speed.
Glancing at Chen Nan from the corner of her eye, she smiled and said, "We only met yesterday at 2046, and today we meet in this vast sea of people. Don't you think this is fate?"
Chen Nan: "And then?"
Sister Jiu shrugged her slender shoulders, "Fate, it's arranged by heaven, the greatest!"
Chen Nan asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Sister Jiu's expression froze, and she smiled meaningfully, "So direct?"
"We're both adults, there's nothing wrong with being direct," Chen Nan closed his eyes and said, "If you've really thought it through, you can book a room, take a shower, and wait for me."
"If not, then I advise you not to court disaster, and don't use your charm techniques on me."
His voice was calm.
But Sister Jiu's delicate body trembled violently.
Especially in her heart, great waves were rising.
She had been in society for many years, and this was the first time she had encountered someone who could see through her charm techniques at a glance.
She knew that the person in front of her was not ordinary.
Especially the aura he exuded unconsciously made even her feel uneasy and frightened.
Fortunately, she did not sense any danger from Chen Nan, so her courage grew.
She let out a soft hum and said playfully, "Naughty little brother, some things take time, it's about letting nature take its course, you can't rush. Without the fusion of souls, what's the difference from animal mating?"
Chen Nan slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "From what you're saying, you want to procreate with me?"
Sister Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Even if I wanted to, would you be willing?"
Chen Nan shook his head helplessly, "Is there any point in you being like this?"
"Huh?" Sister Jiu looked confused.
Chen Nan sneered, "You're clearly a virgin, yet you act so openly. There's no point in you doing this! As I said before, if you've thought it through, book a hotel room, take a shower, and wait for me."
"You're clueless!" Sister Jiu's face turned red, but the idea of going to a hotel to book a room had already taken root and sprouted in her heart.
