Chapter 137: Song Xiyan
Song Xiyan looked at the front of the shop. Taking off her glasses, she peeked inside and saw only two girls sitting there, doing nothing.
“What’s so special about this place?”
After confirming once more that this was indeed the location her grandfather had given her, she pushed the door open and stepped inside.
“Excuse me, is Bai Chen here?”
……
“So, it’s normal for my body to be in this condition?”
Bai Chen nodded.
“That’s right, so you don’t need to worry. You will be well again soon, and when that happens, your speed in practicing martial arts will only get faster. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say you could travel a thousand miles in a day.”
“If time permits, I sense you might even be able to participate in this Martial Arts Assembly in Jiangnan.”
“What! Is it really that exaggerated?”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Su Qing Li’s mouth opened slightly, revealing her pink tongue.
Bai Chen nodded.
“Why don’t you give it a try? You may have enough time.”
Bai Chen wasn’t lying to Su Qing Li.
Just using the remaining spiritual energy from the divine medicine helped Nan Shi Yue advance from the early stage of the acquired realm to the late stage.
Since Su Qing Li had awakened her Profound Yin Body and still had Bai Chen’s lingering spiritual energy inside her, combined with the Small Zhou Tian Breathing Technique from the Su family, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to reach the mid-stage in just a few days.
After explaining this to Su Qing Li and chatting for a while, Bai Chen left the hospital.
When he returned to the medicinal meal shop, he saw a striking young woman sitting inside.
“Eating?”
Fang Yu and Zhao Ya shook their heads at Bai Chen.
At this moment, Song Xiyan looked at Bai Chen and then stood up.
“Are you Bai Chen?”
Hearing Song Xiyan’s question, Bai Chen nodded, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“Yes, what do you need?”
Song Xiyan observed Bai Chen for a moment, noticing that she couldn’t sense any aura from him, which puzzled her.
However, her good upbringing and her grandfather’s advice before he passed led her to extend her hand.
“Let me introduce myself; I’m Song Xiyan. My grandfather is Song Ziwen, and he asked me to come find you. Also, I will be participating in this Martial Arts Assembly in Jiangnan.”
Hearing this, Bai Chen unexpectedly regarded Song Xiyan with a newfound interest.
“You are twenty-five this year, right?”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Song Xiyan slightly furrowed her brow.
“What’s wrong?”
Bai Chen smiled slightly as memories floated into his mind.
Thirty years ago, he was still awakening and had accepted Song Ziwen and his group of disciples.
After that, he drifted away for more than twenty years until he woke up again five years ago.
He even toasted at Song Xiyan’s birth celebration.
“Nothing much. I even attended your full moon celebration back then. I can’t believe how much you’ve grown.”
Upon hearing this, Song Xiyan furrowed her brows even deeper.
Bai Chen didn’t look very old; what did he mean by that?
He had attended her full moon celebration?
Song Xiyan was about to get angry, but she couldn’t help but think of her grandfather Song Ziwen’s advice.
“Mr. Bai has helped our Song family, so you must not offend him when you meet!”
“You should treat Mr. Bai as you would treat me, understand?”
At that time, Song Xiyan thought Bai Chen was around her grandfather’s age and a close friend of his.
She didn’t expect Bai Chen to look about her age.
How could he have toasted at her full moon celebration at his age?
“Mr. Bai, you must be joking. You should be about my age, right?”
Hearing Song Xiyan’s words, Bai Chen realized that Song Ziwen probably hadn’t explained his identity to her.
Or maybe this group of young people just didn’t believe in Bai Chen’s existence.
After all, he was simply too extraordinary for them to comprehend.
“By the way, this is something my grandfather asked me to bring you. I will be staying in Lintai for the next few days, and after the Martial Arts Assembly in Jiangnan, I will return home.”
At that moment, Song Xiyan could hardly wait to leave.
Her first impression of Bai Chen had been quite good, but his words were starting to make her feel that he was a bit strange.
He seemed very young, yet he acted so mature.
In an instant, Song Xiyan even thought her grandfather was trying to set her up with Bai Chen.
The idea that Bai Chen had helped the Song family was just an excuse her grandfather made up.
Song Xiyan took out a box and opened it, releasing a refreshing fragrance.
Bai Chen stared at the herbs inside the box, momentarily stunned.
Aren’t these the herbs from the medicinal garden near his secluded location?
How did Song Ziwen send them over?
When he secluded himself on Qingluan Mountain, the spiritual energy in that area was quite abundant, so he had planted some herbs for future use.
Recently, there had been so much going on that he nearly forgot about this matter.
Now, as Song Xiyan brought these herbs, she helped relieve some of his pressure.
Although the herbs weren’t very old, they were full of spiritual energy.
They would greatly benefit Nan Yue Ran and Bai Nian Nian.
After Song Xiyan saw Bai Chen accept the herbs, she prepared to leave.
But Bai Chen spoke up as he saw her about to go:
“Why don’t you stay for a meal? I haven’t seen your grandfather in many years; tell me about him.”
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Song Xiyan initially planned to turn away, but her stomach growled at that moment.
And then she recalled her grandfather’s words.
“Once you arrive in Lintai, you must listen to Mr. Bai!”
“You absolutely must not disrespect Mr. Bai!”
Meanwhile, Bai Chen had already started boiling water.
With the herbs and food going into the pot, a delightful aroma filled the air, making Song Xiyan’s pores open up.
Smelling this scent, Song Xiyan couldn’t help but swallow.
Beside her, Fang Yu and Zhao Ya directly pulled Song Xiyan to sit down.
Fang Yu eagerly asked Song Xiyan:
“Is your grandfather Song Ziwen?”
Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Song Xiyan nodded and then looked at her with confusion.
Fang Yu’s face showed some excitement.
“My master is Hu Lin! I’m Fang Yu! My master is a good friend of your grandfather!”
Song Xiyan was stunned upon hearing Fang Yu’s words.
Indeed, her grandfather, Song Ziwen, had many friends, including the two War Gods of the Nine Provinces and Hu Lin, the Number One Divine Doctor in the Nine Provinces.
But how could this young girl be Hu Lin’s disciple?
Wondering about this, Song Xiyan was caught off guard when Bai Chen brought over the food.
She glanced at the meal, noting it was made of ordinary ingredients, just with a few added herbs.
Previously, she had eaten very precious and rare ingredients.
Could ordinary ingredients create delicious food compared to those rare ones?
However, despite that, smelling the lightly pleasant aroma, Song Xiyan couldn’t resist taking a bite.
But as soon as she tasted the first bite, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning and stood frozen in place!
“This, this!”
“No way! Ordinary meals can’t taste this good! It must be because I’m too hungry!”
Song Xiyan told herself in her mind, yet her chopsticks moved faster and faster.
Before long, the meal was gone, and Bai Chen and the others silently watched Song Xiyan.
Recovering from her surprise, Song Xiyan looked at everything in front of her, feeling dazed, and her face turned red quickly.
“I just—I just got a bit too hungry!”
