Shen Ye looked up and nodded: "So many women went in... that must be it, let's go over there."

The group quickly walked to the entrance of the clinic, but as soon as they arrived, they overheard a conversation between Li Xingyun and the woman who had come for treatment.

"Little miracle doctor, I want to get breast augmentation. Do you have any methods?"

"Of course there are, and there are several kinds."

"What method is effective quickly?"

"Hehe, acupuncture of course, but we'll have to wait until tonight!"

"Why do you have to wait until tonight... Ugh, little miracle doctor, you're so mean! I'll come back tonight then, remember to save a bed for me!"

"Okay, okay..."

Listening to the conversation in the clinic, Shen Ye and the others had very interesting expressions. Lu Linxuan even blushed and complained, "Business is pretty good, but... Senior Brother is too unserious. I don't know where he learned that from."

Anyway, it's not with me... Shen Ye thought to himself, and then stepped inside.

Inside the clinic, Li Xingyun was surrounded by a group of women, so he didn't notice them coming in.

After Shen Ye entered, he didn't say anything. He just stood to the side, smiling as he looked at the women surrounding him. He noticed that most of them were good-looking and dressed in a flamboyant manner. However, many of them had a worldly look on their faces, as if they were women engaged in some kind of special industry.

"No wonder he spoke so boldly and bluntly." Shen Ye shook his head with a wry smile, then winked at Lu Linxuan, whose face had turned from red to black.

then……

"Senior brother!" An angry voice echoed throughout the clinic.

Upon hearing the words "senior brother," Li Xingyun was taken aback for a moment, then immediately looked up and around. He then saw Shen Ye, who was standing behind him with three women, and Lu Linxuan, who was standing with his hands on his hips and glaring at him.

Li Xingyun was afraid that his junior sister would be angry, so he quickly said to the women around him, "I'm sorry, sisters, I have something to do and I have to close up shop. Please come back tomorrow."

After saying that, he half-pushed and half-coaxed them out, their faces full of displeasure.

"Brother Shen, Junior Sister, what brings you here?" Li Xingyun asked after closing the clinic door.

"Of course I'm here to see you for a medical checkup." Shen Ye didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, pushing Miao Chengtian out from behind him and continuing, "My maid has a congenital incurable disease, and I want you to take a look at her."

"Born with a blocked meridian?" Li Xingyun glanced at Miao Chengtian curiously, then immediately looked away. This was his brother's woman, and he didn't dare to look at her any longer.

"Let me take your pulse first," he said.

Miao Chengtian glanced at Shen Ye, and seeing him nod, she extended her slender, snow-white wrist.

Li Xingyun raised two fingers and gently touched the ground, then withdrew them after a few breaths.

“It is indeed a terminal illness, and it’s already very serious,” he said, frowning.

"Is there any hope of treatment?" Before Shen Ye could speak, Xuan Jingtian asked anxiously.

Li Xingyun relaxed his brows and said, "Of course there are doctors, but it might be a bit troublesome. Not only will acupuncture be required, but medicine will also be taken."

"What kind of medicine do we need?" Shen Ye asked. Li Xingyun knew acupuncture, so the most important thing now was the medicine.

"I have most of the medicine here. I'll write up a prescription for the rest. You can buy them according to what's written on it. However, there are a few medicines that might be hard to find." Li Xingyun said, handing the prescription he had just written to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye picked up the prescription and glanced at it, but since he had never studied traditional Chinese medicine, he didn't recognize any of the ingredients. So he handed it to Shi Yao and asked her to make a few copies so that everyone could go and buy them together.

Shi Yao took the prescription and began copying it down, while Miao Chengtian clung tightly to Shen Ye's arm. Although Li Xingyun said she could still be saved, she was still inexplicably nervous, even though she had no symptoms at all.

Gently patting Miao Chengtian's hand, Shen Ye took the prescription Shi Yao gave him and said to Xuan Jingtian, "You stay here to take care of Miao Chengtian, the rest of us will go out to buy medicine."

“Young master, I’ll come too.” Miao Chengtian shook his arm.

"You're the patient now." Shen Ye pinched her cheek. "I've taken care of me for so long, now it's my turn to take care of you."

"Ugh!!!" Perhaps the words were a bit too powerful, because Miao Chengtian's tears fell down in an instant. Ignoring the people around her, she hugged Shen Ye's neck and kissed him.

"Tsk!" Li Xingyun wisely turned his head to the side, and then saw Lu Linxuan stomp his foot hard and let out another sigh.

With some difficulty, Shen Ye pushed Miao Chengtian away, gave Xuan Jingtian a few more instructions, and then went out with Lu Linxuan and Shi Yao, along with Li Xingyun who was helping out.

Yuzhou is so big, there are countless clinics and pharmacies. As soon as the four of them went out, they took the prescription and went to buy medicine separately. Anyway, Li Xingyun said that he would take the medicine for a long time, so they were not afraid of buying duplicates.

As soon as Shen Ye left the house, he headed straight for the south of the city. He went into every clinic and pharmacy along the way to inquire about their services. Before long, he had several medicinal herbs wrapped in oil paper in his hand.

Seeing that only a few medicinal herbs were missing from the prescription, Shen Ye's mood immediately brightened, and even his steps became much lighter.

At this point, he had arrived in the south of the city. When he saw a pharmacy next to a pawnshop ahead, he walked straight over to it.

However, as they passed by the pawnshop, a soft, sweet voice with a strong accent came from inside: "Uncle, this is a treasure I brought from Miao territory. How come it's only worth so little silver?"

Accustomed to the Central Plains Mandarin, Shen Ye glanced into the pawnshop subconsciously, and then his eyes froze instantly.

Inside the pawnshop, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with purplish-red hair and wearing a silver headdress that is only found in the Miao region, was holding a small gourd in one hand and patting the pawnshop cabinet with the other.

……

Chapter 444! Chi Meng

……

"She is... Chi Meng?"

The girl's name instantly popped into Shen Ye's mind.

"Why would she come... No, anything can happen in the current plot, and it's normal to pass through Yuzhou on the way from Miao territory to the Central Plains."

He knew that Chi Meng left Miao territory to find the Bad Commander Yuan Tiangang, and now most of the Bad Commanders were active in the Central Plains. If she wanted to find the Bad Commander, she could only go to the Central Plains. The shortest route from Miao territory to the Central Plains was the route through Sichuan, Chongqing and Guanzhong.

Just then, inside the pawnshop, the shopkeeper, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, said to Chi Meng, "Little girl, this is no treasure at all. It's just an ordinary gourd. If it weren't for its exquisite craftsmanship, I would have thought even one tael of silver was too much, let alone two taels."

"Nonsense, this is clearly a treasure." Chi Meng slammed her hand on the counter again, but her voice was still soft and sweet, without a trace of anger.

“It’s worth at least... worth ten taels of silver.” Then she gestured ten with both hands.

"Three taels at most, or you should pawn your things somewhere else, little one." A glint of shrewdness flashed in the pawnshop owner's eyes, but he waved his hand impatiently.

"It's only worth three taels..." Chi Meng looked at the gourd in her hand, feeling extremely regretful. Why was she so greedy? She had already spent all the silver she had brought with her when she secretly slipped out before even reaching the Central Plains.

However, if she had no money, she would go hungry, and that was what Chi Meng feared most.

"Alright, three taels it is, just give me the money quickly." Chi Meng reluctantly placed the gourd on the counter, then stretched out her fair little hand to the pawnshop owner.

"I'll give it to you right away, I'll give it to you right away."

While looking down to get the silver, the pawnshop owner couldn't help but grin. That gourd was worth hundreds of taels of silver, let alone ten, but he had tricked it into giving him away for only three taels. He just needed to tamper with it and turn it into a dead pawn, and he could make hundreds of taels of silver in a flash sale.

However, just as he took out the silver and threw it on the counter, preparing to take the small gourd away, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind the girl and pressed down on the gourd in front of him.

"Shopkeeper, the way you do business is going a bit too far," Shen Ye said coldly, staring at the pawnshop owner.

The shopkeeper wanted to glare back defiantly, but when he saw Shen Ye's cold eyes, he suddenly panicked and his tone softened. However, he still forced himself to say, "It's not excessive. This is the price. Three taels is already very high."

"Yes, big brother, this uncle said it's worth at most three taels!" Chi Meng was in a hurry for money and actually spoke up for the pawnshop owner.

Shen Ye was speechless. How could this girl have no common sense about the martial arts world? He said in an annoyed tone, "You little girl, you've been cheated and you're still paying for it! This little gourd of yours is not only exquisitely crafted, but also quite useful. If this guy tampers with it a little, your treasure will become a dead pawn. When he resells it, he can easily make several hundred taels of silver!"

"Nonsense! This thing is no treasure at all, it's only worth three taels." The shopkeeper panicked even more, then added, "And you find her someone willing to pay several hundred taels! See who's willing to pay!"

“Yes, yes!” Chi Meng was not as tall as Shen Ye, and nodded repeatedly below his arm.

Then, she saw the big pot in front of her pull out several glittering gold ingots from behind it.

"These are gold ingots worth ten taels each. There are three ingots in total. According to the current gold-silver exchange rate, they are worth at least two hundred taels of silver. Little girl, take them carefully."

As he spoke, Shen Ye placed the three gold ingots in his hand into Chi Meng's outstretched hand.

The heavy weight of the three gold ingots in her hand made Chi Meng's mouth drop open. Although she was the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, her daily life was taken care of by others, and she rarely had any contact with money. She couldn't help but mutter, "I only need one tael of silver for a meal. Now I have more than two hundred taels of silver. Can't I eat more than two hundred meals?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye's lips twitched, but he knew that this girl liked to eat and could eat a lot, so he wasn't too surprised. He just looked at the pawnshop owner.

"Now this gourd is mine."

The pawnshop owner, realizing the prize was about to slip away, hurriedly said, "I'll offer the first price."

“But the highest bidder wins, and besides, she took my money first.” Shen Ye glanced at the few pieces of silver in his hand, sneered disdainfully, and then stuffed the small gourd into his pocket.

Seeing Shen Ye tuck the gourd into his waistband, the pawnshop owner became anxious again. But just as he was about to say something, he saw Shen Ye lightly slap the counter, leaving a handprint on it. He immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say and then stammered, "Please take care, gentlemen. I won't see you off."

Ignoring the pawnshop owner, Shen Ye glanced at Chi Meng, who was holding the gold and seemed lost in thought, then turned and left the pawnshop. Helping Chi Meng was just a side thing; curing Miao Chengtian's illness was more important.

However, as soon as he left, Chi Meng came to her senses and quickly followed behind him, saying, "Big brother, is my gourd really worth that much money?"

"If you don't think it's worth it, you can redeem it now." Shen Ye took out the gourd and handed it to her.

"No need, no need, I won't have anything to eat if I don't have money." Chi Meng hurriedly held the gold in her arms and shook her head vigorously.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye simply smiled and then turned to walk towards the pharmacy next to the pawnshop.

Seeing Shen Ye enter the pharmacy, Chi Meng thought for a moment and followed him inside.

Shen Ye handed the prescription to the pharmacy clerk who came to greet him, then glanced at Chi Meng beside him and teased, "Why are you still following me now that you've got the money? Have you taken a fancy to me?"

So much time has passed, and he believes he might have some qualities that attract women, but he doesn't think he can make a stranger fall in love with him at first sight; it would take at least some time to get to know her.

"I'd like to treat you to a meal, since you gave me a lot of money," Chi Meng said matter-of-factly.

Shen Ye shook his head: "No need, I just finished lunch not long ago."

“Then I can treat Big Brother to dinner,” Chi Meng said immediately.

"That's still a bit early." Shen Ye glanced outside the pharmacy. It was only a little past noon, and there was still a long time before evening.
