Chapter 56 - Brother Went For A Walk By The Lake With The Protagonist
As the sun rose, Ye Anping got up early as usual according to his biological clock, and after performing a simple set of boxing in the backyard, he went to Sky Street to buy breakfast. Then, he opened the physiotherapy center for customers.
After today, there would be no need to worry about the Seven Slayers Sect as the Black Star Sect would take the blame for killing Wu You.
All that was left was to help his sister enter the Foundation Building stage.
But that would probably be two or three months later, so he was not in a hurry.
As he was lying in a rocking chair in the main hall, time passed, and before long, a flying sword landed at the entrance to the physiotherapy center.
As usual, Bai Yuexin was coming to help after morning classes, and she was also bringing one or two brothers and sisters who wanted to experience physiotherapy.
Today, she brought a younger brother who was relatively short and looked seventeen or eighteen years old.
Ye Anping looked at him and recognized him as a regular customer.
Ever since Bai Yuexin first brought him, he came here almost every day.
But it was rare for him to come directly after morning classes. He would normally come here in the afternoon.
"Welcome..." Ye Anping greeted him.
Before the greeting was finished, the disciple who was a junior to Bai Yuexin and a senior to Ye Anping bowed ninety degrees and gave Ye Anping a ceremonial salute.
?
Ye Anping was puzzled. "What happened?"
The disciple surnamed Xu approached Ye Anping, took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag, and offered it with both hands.
"This is a bottle of Foundation Building pills that I refined. I hope Young Master Ye will accept it."
Seeing this, Ye Anping hurriedly got up from the chair, cupped his hands as well, and refused. "Senior Xu, I wouldn't dare to accept this."
"Young Master Ye, there's no need to be formal. This is just a meager thank-you gift."
Ye Anping was confused, so he glanced at Bai Yuexin, who was giggling, and motioned for her to explain.
Bai Yuexin covered her mouth in amusement and said, "Anping, Brother Xu especially came here today to thank you. Thanks to your physiotherapy, he broke through to the late stage of Foundation Building last night, so take his gift. He saw that you are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining and refined these for two days and two nights specifically for you."
"Oh?"
"In fact, Brother Xu has been in a bottleneck at the middle stage of the Foundation Building for more than 20 years. He has tried many ways, and the elders have also helped him, but to no avail. But after a few physiotherapy sessions, he finally passed the bottleneck."
The disciple nodded. "I am ashamed to say, I have tried many methods in the past twenty years with no success, but Young Master Ye, your physiotherapy has been very effective. I did it once and felt it might help me break through the bottleneck. Please accept this gift."
Hearing this, Ye Anping didn't refuse anymore. He took the pills and congratulated him. "Then, I would like to congratulate you, Brother Xu, on your successful breakthrough."
"Thank you."
Brother Xu cupped his hands, looked at Bai Yuexin, and said, "I came here to express my gratitude, thinking it would be quieter in the shop at this time. Sister Bai, Young Master Ye, I have something to do now, but I will be back in the afternoon."
"Go on~" Bai Yuexin waved goodbye.
"Brother Xu, I won't send you off."
After watching the flying sword departing, Ye Anping opened the bottle and sniffed the pills inside.
---Lower medium quality Foundation Building pills.
It's useless for his sister, and there's no point in keeping it for himself. He could only give it away or sell it.
Seeing his expression, Bai Yuexin guessed that he didn't think much of the gift. She hooked her arm around his neck from behind and smiled. "You don't like it? Why didn't you just say so?"
"I still have some manners." Ye Anping glanced at her and hastily broke away from her arm. "I hope you can also show some manners and not hug me randomly."
"Oh..." Bai Yuexin puffed her cheeks, then smiled. "Anping, it's great. When Brother Xu spreads the word about his breakthrough, you'll never have to worry about customers for your physiotherapy business, right?"
"I think it's better to be quiet and free like now."
"If you have a shop, of course, the more customers, the better. If you are too busy, you can take the opportunity to raise the price. I think your price is too low. How much do you earn in a month?"
"I'm not worried as a boss, but you worry as an accountant?"
"What accountant?!" Bai Yuexin grabbed his face. "I worry as your elder sister."
Ye Anping shrugged and replied nonchalantly. "Let's see what happens later. If there are really more people, I will limit the number or increase the price."
"How about..." Bai Yuexin paused and asked. "You teach me? When there are too many people, I can help you with it."
It was not impossible.
But he happened to cut his sister's meridians a lot in order to practice this technique.
The effectiveness of this physiotherapy method was emphasized by the subtlety of turning the spiritual power into a needle and threading through the meridians like a needle and thread.
"You won't learn it before a few years pass."
"How will I know if I don't try? Maybe I'm talented?" Bai Yuexin said proudly. "Anping, don't look at the fact that I was knocked out of the ring before. I am still a single spirit root genius anyways! Hmph."
Seeing her like this, Ye Anping was wordless for a long time.
No matter how you look at it, she is out of depression, right?
What about his 20% discount coupon?! Eh?!
Ye Anping sighed and said. "We'll talk some other day. By the way, I'm going to the Willow Moon Lake with Miss Feng in a while, so help me take care of the shop."
"Ah? Willow Moon Lake? Why are you going there?"
"Taking a walk and talking about some matters."
Bai Yuexin pouted. "You... you guys are already dating?"
"Nope."
"But if you go to Willow Moon Lake, what is this if not a date?" Bai Yuexin frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Anping, that Feng girl is indeed pretty and has outstanding talents, but listen to my years of experience with people: that girl is not a good match for you at all."
Ye Anping was momentarily tempted to praise her for having a very good eye, but in the end, he only said, "I told you, we're just going for a walk."
"Take your big sister's advice." Bai Yuexin raised her index finger and lectured him. "When you're looking for a girl, don't just look at her appearance. Many girls are wolves in sheep's clothing."
"I know."
"No... You don't know. Let me tell you a story..."
Then, Bai Yuexin told Ye Anping a story like a local version of King Zhou and the Fox Spirit.
The general meaning was that the more beautiful people are, the more poisonous their hearts are, and beauty is the source of disaster.
Ye Anping couldn't stop her from talking, so he simply listened to her as a story.
Before long, it was lunchtime, and Feng Yu Die arrived.
In order to avoid suspicions, Ye Anping asked her to come to the physiotherapy center and act as a girl who was fascinated by him, but she was so cheeky.
In the past few days, every time at lunch, she would come on time to eat roasted chicken, and if she couldn't finish eating, she would pack it and take it back.
Feng Yu Die was now wearing that emerald green dress, but before she could speak, Xiao Tian suddenly flew over and sat on Ye Anping's shoulder, pointing at her. "Young Master Ye, we're here again. Today, Yu Die is wearing the dress you sold her. Isn't she pretty? Why don't you praise her?"
"..."
Ye Anping was speechless.
Looks like this little guy had a lot of persistence. Since the last encounter, every time she saw him, she always sat on his shoulder and kept chattering.
Several times he was distracted and almost answered her.
Seeing that Ye Anping didn't react at all, Xiao Tian thought for a while, then moved to his ear and peeked inside, showing a surprised expression.
"Wow~ Young Master Ye, how long has it been since you took out your earwax? What a big lump!"
"..."
If Ye Anping made a move toward his ear, it would be like an admission that he could see her.
Fortunately, he cleaned his ears when he got up this morning. Otherwise, his words would have made him feel awkward.
It was so annoying even when he ignored him. Wouldn't it be more annoying if he didn't?
Ye Anping chose to continue to ignore it.
