The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1635 Capable people dislike owing favors.
Fang Wubing looked at it carefully, then handed it to a maid in red next to him.

The maid in red took the paper, glanced at it, and her eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

Lin Chen glanced at it but didn't pay any attention. If the pill formula was so easy to figure out, there would be no need for someone to teach it.

Let alone figuring out the correct dosage of the pill formula, even if you give the correct formula to the other party, without the alchemy techniques from the original alchemy classics, the only outcome of refining the pill will be failure.

Fang Wubing explained, "Brother Lin, please don't be offended. She is Zhu Lan, who is skilled in alchemy. She is responsible for most of the pills I take."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It seems that the maids around you are not only stunningly beautiful, but also have their own unique skills."

Fang Wubing laughed and said, "That's right. Qiu Cha is skilled in medicine, tea making and brewing; Xia Ri is skilled in alchemy; Chun He is skilled in cooking; Dong Mei is skilled in socializing; Bai Lan, Qing Yuan, Ju Jian, and Zhu Dao are our sword attendants, each skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; and there's Aunt Leng, who will lead us to safety if anything happens..."

Lin Chen smiled and praised, "Young Master Fang, you really enjoy life to the fullest. No wonder you are one of the top ten wealthy young masters in the Immortal Realm!"

Fang Wubing chuckled and said, "Brother Lin, please don't laugh at me. Although they are maids, I treat them all as family. They have been with me since I was a child. If they have offended me in any way, please don't hold it against me for my sake."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You flatter me."

Fang Wubing picked up his teacup: "My health is not good, so I never drink alcohol. I can only drink tea to satisfy my cravings. Today, Brother Lin has diagnosed my health and pointed out the way forward. I will use tea instead of wine to toast Brother Lin."

Lin Chen raised his glass: "It was nothing, don't mention it."

With the topic of medical treatment in mind, the two became more casual in their conversation, chatting about all sorts of things.

Lin Chen listened more and spoke less, but the atmosphere was not awkward.

Lin Chen did not press Fang Wubing about his specific identity within the sect, and Fang Wubing also refrained from asking Lin Chen any further questions; both remained polite to each other.

After a cup of tea, the two had become quite familiar with each other.

Fang Wubing returned to his room, and his maid Xia Ri followed him in to help him make his bed.

"Young master, do you believe that the Phoenix Crimson Blood Pill can cure you?"

Fang Wubing smiled slightly: "Why don't you try and see?"

Xia Ri said worriedly, "I still don't quite believe it."

After a pause, Xia Ri added, "Of course I hope that you can get better, young master, but I feel that what he said was somewhat vague. I am a little worried that he knows your identity and is just trying to use you to get the Phoenix Blood."

Fang Wubing laughed and said, "Are you worried that after we gather all the medicinal materials for him, he will say that the refining failed and then embezzle all the medicinal materials?" Xia Ri nodded: "I do have that concern. After all, we have never even heard of the Phoenix Crimson Blood Pill he mentioned. It seems a bit unbelievable that it is a pill from another region."

Fang Wubing shook his head: "He's not that kind of person."

Summer asked curiously, "Why do you say that, young master? You've only met once."

Fang Wubing laughed and said, "Eyes, people's eyes can't lie... Given my status, what would an ordinary person do if they knew?"

Summer replied, "They should be very enthusiastic?"

Fang Wubing reached out and pulled out a handkerchief, covered his mouth, coughed lightly a few times, and his face turned even paler.

Xia Ri walked over worriedly and helped Fang Wubing up: "Young Master, are you alright?"

Fang Wubing shook his head and sighed, "This damn body is such a hassle. His description is quite accurate. A leaky water tank. Heh, if it weren't for the leak, how could I, the holy son of the Duobao Dao Sect, not even be able to break through to the Golden Immortal realm?"

Xia Ri helped Fang Wubing sit down by the bedside. Fang Wubing instructed, "When the flying boat reaches the next city, find someone to send a message to my father, attaching this prescription, and ask him to seek Phoenix Blood, gather all the medicinal materials, and send it to the Northern Profound Sect."

Xia Ri agreed briefly, then couldn't help but ask, "Does the young master really believe him?"

Fang Wubing laughed and said, "As I just said, a person's eyes can't lie. Most people would know that I come from Duobao Dao Sect, and seeing my entourage, even if they didn't know my identity, they would definitely ask me questions and then warmly befriend me. But he didn't."

"Why didn't he ask? On one hand, it might be because he didn't care what my status was; it didn't matter to him. On the other hand, if he didn't ask me, it was because he hoped I wouldn't ask him either."

Summer frowned: "Why?"

Fang Wubing sighed, "You guys spend most of your time on the mountain, so you don't know much about human relationships. Dongmei definitely won't ask why."

"The White Crane Immortal Sect produced a genius named Su Shaoling, who enjoyed a period of glory. However, this glory was basically due to Su Shaoling alone. Apart from him, the White Crane Immortal Sect was not worth mentioning."

"Lin Chen treated me like an ordinary stranger, polite but keeping his distance, which shows that he was wary of me and that he didn't really want to deal with me."

"The truly capable people in this world are like this: strong and confident, they don't want to cultivate any connections..."

Summer muttered, "Then why did he offer to treat you?"

Fang Wubing chuckled: "Because I treated him to tea. Capable people dislike owing favors..."
