Everyone could not help but be puzzled, but they did not say anything and let Xiao Qianquan go.

“l feel tired. We have to rest for a while.’

Sikong Wuyuan said wearily.

“I’ll bring some people to let you rest now,” the village chief hurriedly said.

At night, they went to bed.

At night, due to the village chief’s unstable condition, Jiang Ming could only rest in the room next door.

Chu Wanwan personally stood by the village chief’s side.

“I’m really sorry, Jiu Zhu. The room next door is a little tattered and hasn’t been tidied up yet.”

Jiang Ming shook his head when he saw her blaming herself.

“I’ll sleep anywhere. I don’t have a problem with my sleeping arrangements.

Besides, I’m not that pampered or delicate. If I can sleep well, I’ll sleep.” He yawned.

He was really tired. Even if it was a thatched cottage, he felt that he could fall asleep.

Jiang Ming woke up naturally. He opened his eyes and sat up.

At this moment, no one knocked on the door, and no one brought him food. He was a little hungry, so he opened the door and planned to find something to eat himself.

Coincidentally, there was someone standing there, pushing a small dining cart.

“Sir, our eldest miss has said that you can eat whenever you wake up. We kept these warm.’

This person was the head chef of the village. He was polite and had a kind demeanor.

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded and nodded.

He did not expect Chu Wanwan to be so thoughtful, and he could not help but feel flattered.

“How’s the village chief?” he asked after some thought.

“Don’t worry, sir. The village chief has woken up and can eat now. He specially instructed me to tell you that he now feels light and strong. His heart doesn’t feel bad, and there’s no pain in any part of his body. Thank you, sir, for saving his life.’

Jiang Ming nodded and had a simple meal. After washing up, he went to see the village chief.

He went to check on his condition after saving him.

The village chief was eating porridge and meat with Chu Wanwan. His eyes were filled with happiness.

“Jiu Zhu, come quickly!’

When he saw Jiang Ming, the village chief was so excited that he almost stood up. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly realized that he was still recovering from his illness. He could only warmly invite Jiang Ming to sit beside him.

Jiang Ming did not bother with formalities and accepted the invitation gladly.

He saw that Chu Wanwan looked tired. He nodded and smiled politely at Chu

Wanwan. “Thank you for your hard work, Young Miss.”

Chu Wanwan’s face immediately turned red when she saw his smile. She bashfully lowered her head.

The village chief saw this.

“Haha, Jiu Zhu, please give me a check-up. I think I should be fine.”

The village chief smiled and looked at Jiang Ming, who was sitting beside him. His satisfaction was beyond words.

Jiang Ming nodded and asked the village chief to extend his hand to take his pulse.

According to what he thought, his situation should be good.

After a few minutes, Jiang Ming looked at the village chief and said, “Chief, your condition is fine. However, don’t work too hard in the future. You should also drink less. Moreover, don’t smoke anymore.”

“Mm, alright! I’ll listen to you.”

The village chief agreed immediately, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Chu Wanwan, who was beside him, also smiled. She was very happy.

After the chief finished eating, he was quite serious. He put a hand on Jiang Mings shoulder and smiled.

“Jiu Zhu, I’m going to visit an old friend. I hope you can come with me.”

He did not like Jiang Ming before, but now he liked him a lot.

Jiang Ming was stunned and looked up at Chu Wanwan.

He had a vague feeling that she seemed to want to do something.

Chu Wanwan smiled and nodded.

When Jiang Ming saw this, he immediately knew what Chu Wanwan was planning.

He did not expose her and immediately said that he would just follow the chief.

Chu Wanwan was overjoyed.

“That’s the village chief’s best friend. If you’re not his son-in-law, you can’t meet him!

Jiang Ming could only shake his head when he heard that.

It seemed that this misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger. He would explain himself and leave when he got the Yellow Gall Grass.

The group of them boarded the carriage.

On the way, Chu Wanwan kept talking. She told Jiang Ming in advance that the old friend of the village chief was called Qiu Zeshen. He was a very generous person and had a special treasure at home.

Jiang Ming was also thinking about Chu Wanwan!s words.

He had a feeling that she knew something or sensed something, which was why she told him that.

After leaving the village, they went in the opposite direction. Fortunately, the journey was not far.

When Jiang Ming and the other two arrived at Qiu Zeshen’s house, they noticed the door and walls.

They were made with resplendent gold and jade. The house was really incomparably luxurious.

“Idiot! ”

“Damned Qiu!”

Jiang Ming was stunned by the way they addressed each other.

As the village chief and his old friend spoke, they had already hugged each other.

Jiang Ming smiled.

This friendship was amazing.

“Let me introduce you to each other. This is Jiu Zhu. He has excellent medical skills. He cured my illness.”

In front of his good friends, the village chief spared no effort in introducing Jiang Ming.

Qiu Zeshen’s cheerful face suddenly became much more restrained. He carefully observed Jiang Ming, making Jiang Mings hair stand on end.

He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Was this person trying to see through him?

However, the village chief did not seem to notice his friend’s expression. He even told Qiu Zeshen, “This kid has a good foundation. He’s just a little unstable. Teach him some spells or give him a secret realm to stay in. Give him more resources.’

The more the village chief spoke, the more anxious he became.

Qiu Zeshen listened unhurriedly, his eyes looking at Jiang Ming from time to time.

Jiang Ming knew what was going on.

This person was very wary of him. He was probably not easy to deal with.

“Sure.”

In front of his old friend, Qiu Zeshen looked at Jiang Ming and agreed.

“However, practicing martial arts and cultivating one’s body is not something that can be done overnight. If you really want to practice, I’m afraid you’ll have to stay here for a night. Let’s have a good chat so that 1 can learn how to teach you.”

Jiang Ming frowned when he heard that.

Staying overnight? Wouldn’t he have to leave the village chief?

This would not do. There was still no sign of the Yellow Gall Grass.

He quickly declined.

“No, I’d better go back with the village chief. My friends are waiting for me. Moreover, although the village chief’s illness has been cured for a while, he still needs to be observed carefully. I can’t disregard the lives of others for my own selfish interests.’

“Hehehe…

Hearing his words, the village chief was overjoyed.

However, Qiu Zeshen put on a fake smile and said bluntly, “It’s rare to see such kind young people nowadays.”

“He’s such a good young man.”

The village chief was all smiles, so Qiu Zeshen took advantage of his good friend’s inattention to stare at Jiang Ming again.

Jiang Ming felt as if a sharp sword was stabbing into him.

“Alright then.”

Seeing that he could not keep Jiang Ming, Qiu Zeshen changed his mind.

“Since you’re not willing to stay, I won’t force you to stay. However, that idiot likes you so much. I can’t let you come here for nothing. Come with me.”
