Only then did he realize that his careless words seemed to reveal too many secrets.
However, the words he spoke were like water being thrown away. He did not bother to explain, but just asked: "Can you find these medicinal materials?"
"I don't have it with me, but the Alchemist Guild does!"
Huang Yan nodded, then smiled bitterly and said: "But even I don't have the right to use those rare medicinal materials!"
"Oh? Are there any in your Alchemist Guild?"
Ye Chen was not discouraged and asked: "Then who has the right to take it out?"
"President, Vice President!"
Without thinking, Huang Yan responded: "Everything in the Alchemist Guild, the president and vice president have the right to use!"
"Is Lu Jinghuan also qualified to get it?" Ye Chen's mind moved.
I thought that from now on, I would never have any more interactions with this old bastard.
Now it seems that fate is not over yet!
"Although I can't take it out and give it to you, I will try my best to find a way, or ask the president!" Arayan said apologetically.
Ye Chen had helped her so much, but she couldn't help with the first request he made.
I feel so ashamed!
"I'm very grateful that you have this heart, but no need, I will find a way myself!"
Ye Chen smiled and prepared to leave.
Huang Yan said again: "By the way, what are your plans next?"
"I……"
"Let's go to the Southland Center!"
Ye Chen was about to tell a lie, but An Qian spoke first.
"Really? What a coincidence!"
Huang Yan beamed with joy, "I happen to be returning to the center of the Southern Territory, so why not go on the road together so that I can have someone to take care of me on the way!"
"This... is okay too!"
Ye Chen only hesitated slightly before agreeing.
He originally didn't want to go with Huang Yan, lest his secrets be revealed more.
But Xi'an said so, so there's no harm in being together.
After all, Huang Yan is not considered an enemy, and his status in the center of the Southern Territory is quite high, so he might be able to help him solve a lot of unnecessary troubles.
…
The next day.
Ye Chen and his party have already left Gumo City.
"Sir, do you really have spiritual fire?"
While riding forward on horseback, Huang Yan asked cautiously.
"No!"
Ye Chen shook his head, "I said I wanted to collect the medicinal materials for the Imperial Pill, just to find a senior alchemist to refine them, and then resell them to make some money!"
"this……"
Huang Yan obviously didn't believe it.
But Ye Chen didn't want to say more, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Ye Chen, as if to change the subject, looked at An Xi on the other side, "Girl, are you hungry?"
"I wasn't hungry at first, but when you said that, I suddenly felt hungry too!" An Qian nodded.
"Then you go hunt some game quickly and let's find a place to roast it for a while!" Ye Chen suggested.
"You bastard, why do you keep calling me around?"
An Qian immediately glared over, "I'm not your maid, why do you keep shouting at me?"
"But you are a female man, and you said you would protect me. Do you want to break your promise?"
Ye Chen said with an innocent face: "I am almost starving now. If I starve to death like this, you have failed to fulfill your responsibility to protect me!"
"I thought you were a modest gentleman before, but now I find you more and more a scoundrel and a stinky gangster?" Qian An was heartbroken, looking like he was not being kind to others.
"Okay, since you don't go, then we'll starve to see who dies of hunger first!" Ye Chen shrugged.
"you……"
"Gulu!"
An Qian was about to get angry, but her stomach made a serious protest.
"Okay, I'll be honest with you!"
An Qian said angrily: "This time, I will be wronged once. When I am full, I will see if you go next time, huh!"
After saying that, An Xin spurred his horse and whip, and ran towards a forest not far away.
"Haha, this little girl is so easy to be fooled!"
Ye Chen smiled heartlessly.
But this scene made Huang Yan next to him look a little complicated.
To be exact, I’m a little envious!
She was always polite when talking to Ye Chen.
And Ye Chen seemed to be more deliberate when talking to her.
But between An An and An Xin, they always bickered over trivial matters, and seemed to be very close to each other.
This made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Sir, may I ask what your relationship is with Miss An Xin?"
Seeing that An An was out of sight, she suddenly asked.
"Oh, rest in peace, the wild girl I picked up on the road!" Ye Chen said casually.
"...Picked it up on the road?" Huang Yan was speechless.
At the same time, she was also a little disappointed.
It seemed that Ye Chen didn't want to answer, so he was perfunctory.
The more this happens, the more she wants to break this barrier.
As her thoughts whirled, she suddenly pointed to the sky in the distance and pretended to be surprised: "Ye Chen, what do you think that is?"
In order to increase the sense of intimacy, she also deliberately changed her title from "Gongzi" to "Ye Chen".
As a result, Ye Chen glanced sideways, and then calmly replied, "Nothing."
"I'm teasing you!"
Huang Yan covered his mouth and smiled.
As for Ye Chen, he just cracked his lips with a smile on his face, as if he was forcing himself to laugh.
The smile on Huang Yan's face gradually solidified, and finally turned into embarrassment.
Actually...it's just like this?
This is completely different from when Ye Chen and An An were arguing!
When Ye Chen and An An were arguing, it was natural. If the two of them weren't arguing, they would look abnormal.
And she tried to get closer to Ye Chen, but instead of getting what she wanted, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Since then, the two fell into a long silence.
"I'm back!"
Soon after, An An returned with three hares.
"I knew you could do it!"
Ye Chen cast an appreciative look.
"This girl is a natural hunter. I just caught a few rabbits. It's easy to catch!"
An Anxi boasted proudly at first.
Immediately, she seemed to realize something again, and her eyes towards Ye Chen became sharp again, "Ah, I know your sinister intentions. You are deliberately feeding me the ecstasy soup so that you can use me to continue doing it in the future.
These menial jobs are tiring, right?”
"It's nothing, you're overthinking it, I'm not that kind of person!" Ye Chen denied it three times.
"You obviously have it!"
An Qian snorted coldly: "You are a person who lies endlessly and never tells the truth!"
Finally, she said to Luo Yan: "Master Luo Yan, you have to be more careful in the future. Although this guy looks like a gentleman on the surface, he is actually a beast in disguise!"
"Uh...this..."
Huang Yan's face was full of embarrassment and complexity.
But An Anxi didn't think much and threw the three hares to Ye Chen, "The time has come to test your cooking skills!"
"But I don't know how to bake!"
Ye Chen subconsciously caught it, but said without anger: "Isn't this what you usually do?"
"Who said I have to do it?"
An Qian rolled his eyes, "From now on, our division of labor must be clear, otherwise you will always take advantage of me!"
Seeing that Ye Chen still had a grimace on his face, she immediately raised her leather saddle and said, "Are you going or not?"
"I'm going, can't I go? I'm afraid of you!"
Under the threat of force from An An, Ye Chen had no choice but to give in. As he walked towards the stream, he cursed in a low voice: "This wild girl is getting more and more excessive. With such violence, no man will dare to want her in the future!"
Although the voice was small, An Anxi still heard it.
"Ye Chen, are you looking for death? You are asked to do something, but you dare to curse this girl and no one wants her?"
