Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The benefits of Lingpin Tofu Soup have gradually been discovered, especially by the elderly and women.

Zhao Jing refused all offers from wealthy individuals who wanted to purchase the formula at high prices.

Ye Yu also told them to add a little Qingli fruit powder to their food every day, but not too much, for fear that their bodies couldn't handle it, and that they had to do it slowly.

Some women found that after drinking Lingpin Tofu Soup, their blood and energy improved, and if they drank it for a week in a row, their skin would become much smoother. They started trying every means to queue up to buy the soup.

So Zhao Jing and the others took even better care of the Qingli tree, watering it several times a day.

Ye Yu found it amusing. After she continuously watered the Azure Glass Tree with the Heart-Tempering Milk for three days, the Azure Glass Tree reached its most vigorous period, with lush branches and leaves, and a vibrant green color.

Most importantly, all the dozen or so fruits that had formed earlier have ripened, and the fruits are plump, large and round, completely unlike their previous shriveled appearance.

In addition, it has produced more than thirty small fruits, which will ripen when the time comes.

From then on, Lu Xiaoting had a new hobby: every day she would stand under the tree and count the fruits to make sure they were all there, for fear that they would be stolen.

Her concerns were not unfounded.

Since Lingpin Tofu Soup became a hit, some people with ulterior motives have tried to copy the recipe.

They may look similar, but their taste and effects are completely different.

A few days ago, when no one was home, a thief climbed over the wall and sneaked into Ye Yu's house, ransacking the place, especially the kitchen, which was turned upside down.

After Ye Yu found out, she took the surveillance video to the police station and reported it to the police.

They then worked through the night to create another array and set it up around the courtyard. This way, although people could see the courtyard, they couldn't enter and would just wander around in place.

She also had Zhao Jing and Xu Jia's bracelets and necklaces re-forged to prevent unscrupulous people from taking advantage of them.

At school, Ye Yu suddenly became more popular. Firstly, her classmates' elders asked her to get closer to them, and secondly, Ye Yu was different from before; she was now confident and outgoing, able to chat and laugh with them.

When it was lunchtime, Li Qian took Ye Yu's hand and went to the cafeteria. After getting their food, they sat down to eat with several classmates they were close to.

Ye Yu was listening to Li Qian talk about gossip in the entertainment industry when she heard a girl next to her say, "Hmph, so what if her family owns a small shop? Who knows what kind of banned substance was added to that soup to make so many people unable to live without it."

Ye Yu turned around and saw a girl with an apple-shaped face and some freckles talking to several other girls. Lin Qiaowei was also sitting with her.

One of the girls sitting with Ye Yu whispered, "The person who spoke is Wang Wan. Her family owns several hot pot restaurants called Yonghui Hot Pot. She's probably just jealous of your family's business. Don't take her words to heart."

Wang Wan's words were deliberately meant for Ye Yu to hear. Ever since her family's business became slow, her parents had been giving her less and less pocket money.

I didn't get to buy her the bracelet I promised. She had already shown it off to her classmates, but I didn't bring it out, and several classmates laughed at me for a long time.

So she attributed all the reasons to Ye Yu.

When she saw Ye Yu looking at her, she said provocatively, "Why are you looking at me? Is it because what I said is true and you're feeling guilty?"

When the students eating in the cafeteria saw that someone was causing trouble, they all gathered around to watch.

Ye Yu looked at Wang Wan as if she were an idiot: "Spreading rumors comes at a price."

"Hmph, my dad has already sent your family's lousy soup for testing. He said that the reason so many people are attracted to eat it is because it contains banned substances, which is why they can't live without it."

"Oh, so your dad also patronizes our business. But didn't he check around? We have all the food test reports posted in the lobby of our shop, and they're all fine. He even categorized the Lingpin Tofu Soup as a nourishing tonic."

Seeing that Wang Wan's smug expression was gradually freezing, Ye Yu added, "Don't waste your dad's money on the test. Give me the results later, and I'll put them on my family's shop."

"If your family fabricated the evidence, then the result must be that you fabricated the evidence."

Ignoring her shouting, Ye Yu took out her phone, opened a picture, and said to Wang Wan, "A few days ago, a thief broke into my house. It was recorded by the security camera. After we called the police, they caught him. He admitted that he had taken money from the owner of Yonghui Hot Pot Restaurant to steal the recipe from my house."

"You're talking nonsense, you're slandering me, it's impossible, you're spreading rumors."

“What I’m showing you is his confession. Your dad even paid the fine.” He then held the phone up to her face and said, “It also has his signature and fingerprint on it.”

Wang Wan tried to snatch Ye Yu's phone, but failed.

Ye Yu held up her phone in front of the other classmates and looked at Wang Wan, saying, "Do you need me to post this on the school's online forum?"

Wang Wan broke down in tears, covered her face, and ran out of the cafeteria.

During afternoon classes, Granny Kong called Ye Yu to the dean's office. When she went in, she saw Zhao Jing, Wang Wan, and her father, Wang Yonghui.

The dean of students, who was sitting on the sofa, said first: "Teacher Kong has already explained what happened in the school cafeteria. Wang Wan was in the wrong first, and the school will punish her for spreading rumors."

"Ultimately, this is a business matter between your two families, and the children shouldn't be involved. They have the college entrance exam this semester, which is such an important time. They should focus solely on their studies."

Zhao Jing and Wang Yonghui listened to the lecture and repeatedly agreed. In the end, the school gave Wang Wan a punishment for spreading rumors and made her give a self-criticism at the flag-raising ceremony the following week.

Wang Yonghui was so angry that he didn't even glance at Wang Wan before leaving the house. When Wang Wan saw that her father ignored her, she covered her face and started crying again.

Zhao Jing and Ye Yu followed Granny Kong out of the office and exchanged a few words about Ye Yu's grades.

Granny Kong also told Zhao Jing to take Ye Yu's phone home, reminding her that phones were not allowed at school.

After Zhao Jing agreed, she smiled and asked Ye Yu to take her mother to the school gate.

"Mom, why is Teacher Kong being so nice to you?" Ye Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. Her homeroom teacher was known for being unusually serious, but today she had surprisingly smiled.

Zhao Jing smiled smugly: "I gave your homeroom teacher and the dean of students ten servings of tofu soup and hot pot base each."

Ye Yu suddenly realized and praised Zhao Jing for her skill.

After seeing Zhao Jing off, she returned to the classroom, where her close classmates gathered around to ask her what had happened.

Ye Yu said she was fine, and the teacher already understood the whole story and would announce the results next Monday.

Everyone started speculating, and they didn't disperse until the school bell rang.

Wang Wan went home with her father and was scolded severely again. Her mother, unaware of the situation, interrupted her while wearing a face mask, saying, "Why are you scolding the child? Can't you talk things out?"

Wang Yonghui recounted what had happened that day, and her mother became angry as well.

Wang Wan knows many of her classmates' mothers at school. If they go home and tell them, she will never be able to hold her head up high again.

So the scolding went from one person to two, and Wang Wan, unable to bear the injustice, turned around and ran out of the house.

Feeling incredibly wronged, she ran to a nearby park and burst into tears. Suddenly, a pack of tissues was thrown into her arms.

Wang Wan looked up and saw a man with dyed yellow hair, wearing a thin jacket, riding a motorcycle.

The man said, "Don't cry. Such a pretty little girl will catch a cold if she sits here crying."

Wang Wan was a little wary of him: "Thank you, but my home isn't far from here. I'll be back right away."

The man added, "That's right. Let's go home quickly. It's so cold, it's heartbreaking."

Hearing his words, Wang Wan felt a surge of grievance again. No one cared about her anymore; her parents only cared about their own pride and didn't consider her feelings at all.

It's all Ye Yu's fault. Qiao Wei is right, she's a scheming woman, ruthless and vicious. All the classmates were deceived by her.

Seeing that she was upset again, the man got out of the car and sat next to her: "What's bothering you? Can you tell me?"

Wang Wan thought that since they didn't know each other, it wouldn't hurt to talk about it, so she told him what had happened that day.

The man stood up for her after hearing this, and Wang Wan felt that someone finally understood her, so she opened her heart even more.

Towards the end of their conversation, the man invited her to visit his shop. Wang Wan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed and hopped on the motorcycle.
