After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Second Uncle, you're too kind. Only you can help with this. Besides, it's a promise you made to the Qin family yourself."

Despite Yang Guangyao's mockery, Ye Bai remained unperturbed and continued to speak with a smile.

"A promise I made? I don't remember it."

Yang Guangyao was stunned, completely unaware of what Ye Bai was talking about.

"Hehe, Second Uncle, you really have a bad memory. Have you forgotten? In front of Old Madam Qin, you said that you would ask for help if you needed any medicinal herbs."

"Now, Old Madam Qin's body is only missing two more medicinal herbs to be fully recovered. If we can't find them, it will be very difficult for the old lady to recover. How can we then ask the Zhu family for help?"

Ye Bai smiled faintly, too lazy to hide anything, and directly explained the pros and cons clearly.

As for how to choose, that's Yang Guangyao's business.

He, the adopted son of the Ye family, was not taken seriously by Yang Guangyao, but Ye Xuanyuan, the biological son of the Ye family, was the other party's nephew.

The saying goes, "A mother's love is as deep as her brother's," so the father and son have a very close relationship.

Moreover, Yang Guangyao was hoping to curry favor with his nephew in the future, so he naturally dared not delay the other party's affairs.

After a brief exchange of glances, Yang Guangyao coldly snorted, "What kind of medicinal herbs do you need? Let me see if I have any here..."

At the time, he was just saying some polite words in front of Old Madam Qin, but he never expected that Ye Bai would actually come to his door, which made it impossible for him to refuse.

Of course, if it was just one instance of breaking a promise, Yang Guangyao wouldn't care.

He wasn't the head of a wealthy family, or even the head of the Yang family; he was just "Yang the Second," and didn't care much about face.

But these medicinal herbs are for treating Old Madam Qin's illness. If she can't be cured, there will be no way to negotiate with the Zhu family on behalf of the Ye family, and the consequences would be too serious.

If the Zhu family pulls in and confirms Ye Xuanyuan's charge of "attempted rape," it will be too late.

Therefore, Yang Guangyao ultimately had no choice but to give in.

Since the resort, worth over 20 million, has already been given away, sending some more medicinal herbs won't make a difference.

But when Ye Bai wrote down the names of those two medicinal herbs, Yang Guangyao felt uneasy.

He had reason to suspect that Ye Bai was playing him.

"I don't have either of these two medicinal herbs here. And I reckon that none of the medicinal herb merchants in Jingzhou have them on hand."

Suppressing the urge to turn against Ye Bai, Yang Guangyao took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Second Uncle, do you know where I can get some? The kind that can arrive as soon as possible?"

Ye Bai was slightly disappointed by Yang Guangyao's answer. He had originally thought that the other party had a very large medicinal herb business, but now it seemed that he had obviously overestimated him.

"If there's a time limit, then we'll have to try our luck in nearby cities. But I don't think it's going to be very promising. Jingzhou is the largest distribution center for medicinal herbs within a radius of over a thousand kilometers. If Jingzhou doesn't have something, other cities will probably have a hard time getting it too."

"Okay, I'll call my friends and ask them for you."

Yang Guangyao sighed and took out his phone.

He really didn't want to help Ye Bai, but the other party was asking for medicine for Old Madam Qin, so he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

Having decided to help, Yang Guangyao was quite decisive and began making one phone call after another.

After calling more than a dozen times, they still couldn't find out which herbal medicine merchant had those two herbs.

Just as Yang Guangyao had predicted, there was no need to even think about finding those two medicinal herbs in any other city within a thousand miles.

"Actually, I think there's definitely a place where it can be found..."

Yang Guangyao put down his phone, took a sip of tea, and then spoke.

"where?"

Ye Bai's heart stirred slightly.

Have you heard of Radiant Pharmaceuticals?

Yang Guangyao thought for a moment and asked.

"really……"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Bai's eyes, and he nodded helplessly.

He guessed that Yang Guangyao was probably referring to Guangmang Pharmaceuticals, and he was right.

Unfortunately, even Queen Qin couldn't get the medicinal herbs from Guangmang Pharmaceuticals, so Ye Bai probably wouldn't be able to either.

The title of leader of the Xuanmen sect is only useful to members of the Xuanmen sect.

It's completely useless to ordinary people who don't even know what Xuanmen is.

But since things had come to this, Ye Bai could only try his luck.

"Since you already know, I won't say any more. Good luck."

Yang Guangyao was somewhat gloating, clearly aware of how difficult it was to deal with Guangmang Pharmaceutical's business department.

However, when Yang Guangyao thought that it would be bad for the Ye family if Ye Bai really couldn't get the medicinal herbs, he started to worry again and gave a final reminder.

"The business manager of Guangmang Pharmaceutical is named Fang Yishuo (pronounced shuo in the fourth tone). She is a very difficult woman. She is cold-blooded and ruthless and does not care about her own family."

"However, this person also has a major weakness, or rather, a fetish: he has a strong liking for handsome young men. If you can cater to his tastes, you might be able to buy those two medicinal herbs..."

Ye Bai was dumbfounded after hearing this. Was Yang Guangyao trying to get him to sacrifice his body?

It was already quite an achievement that his uncle, who was just a cheap second uncle, could tell him so much information. So Ye Bai didn't ask any more questions and left with Shen Lu.

"Young master, you're not really planning to offer yourself to that flirtatious female manager, are you?"

As they descended the stairs, Shen Lu finally couldn't help but look at Ye Bai and ask, her face filled with a conflicted expression.

Obtaining medicinal herbs for Old Madam Qin was of utmost urgency, and no price was too high to pay.

Shen Lu genuinely didn't want her son-in-law to be harmed by a woman who looked like a public bus and was likely to have various STDs.

She was even considering whether she should quickly tell her mistress so that she could persuade the young master.

If the son-in-law really gets sick, wouldn't that mean they're all in danger too?

Pah! No, it's the young lady who's in danger, what does it have to do with her!

The little girl's pretty face turned bright red as she drifted off into daydreams.

"Don't even think about offering your head! There must be other ways."

Ye Bai smiled and gently tapped Shen Lu's head. He didn't dare to use too much force because this girl was already stupid enough. If he tapped her a few more times, she would probably lose her mind even more.

"Young master, look, they seem to be buying some medicine..."

Upon entering the wholesale market on the first floor, Shen Lu spotted Qin Yuemei and Tian Yurou again and quickly pointed them out to Ye Bai.

The mother and daughter were clearly buying medicinal herbs, and they were even wearing masks, looking rather furtive.

Soon, the two paid and left with their bags, unaware of Ye Bai and Shen Lu not far behind them.

"Boss, what medicine did that mother and daughter buy just now?"

Ye Bai walked up to the stall and asked with a smile.

"It's up to you..."

The boss had just rolled his eyes, about to retort to Ye Bai, when he saw two red bills appear in front of him. He immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say and accepted the money with a big smile.

"They bought raw aconite..."

The boss said in a low voice.
