"He's here?"

"Yes . "

"Xue's life is saved?"

"For now . "

"That's good, that's good . "

An old man released a long sigh .

"Grandpa, how about I invite him over to see you tomorrow?"

"That's fine . Speaking of it, even my life was saved by him . I ought to thank him properly . You should greet your Uncle Su first; don't steal his guest away from him," the elderly man said, smiling .

"Okay, I will speak to Uncle Su first . "

Beijing's night view was rather beautiful .

After packing for a little while, w.a.n.g Yao went to find Ying .

"What requests do you have?"

"Could I trouble you to bring me around? This is my first time in Beijing," w.a.n.g Yao said, smiling .

"Sure," Ying responded .

The two of them slowly drove out in one car .

They first went to see the famous ten-kilometer street, Beijing's central street connecting the east and west, and the number one street in China . Many famous buildings were situated around it . The car was moving slowly, and w.a.n.g Yao wound down the car window to look outside . The lights were bright, making it seem almost like daytime . Meanwhile, the cars were all lined up, and the street was bustling .

The number one street—it was an eye-opening sight .

Following that, the young lady named Chen Ying brought w.a.n.g Yao for a tour around the rest of Beijing .

Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, the Great Hall of the People—all these things that frequently came up on television, he went to visit .

"Right, tomorrow, I should go and visit Second Aunt . "

w.a.n.g Yao felt that since it was rare for him to come to Beijing, he ought to visit his second aunt whom he hadn't seen in years .

"Where else would you like to go, Mr . w.a.n.g?"

"Anywhere is fine . "

"Then how about I bring you to a street around Houhai?"

"That's fine . The host leads while the guest follows, after all . "

Thus, Chen Ying brought him to the famous Houhai Bar street to look at the various bars and inns .

"Should we go in to take a look?"

"Sure," w.a.n.g Yao replied, smiling .

Following Chen Ying's lead, the two of them entered one of the more famous bars .

One single door separated the silence from the loud excitement . In the bar, the excitement was unusual .

"One more song!" They could hear people shouting the moment they entered the bar .

Over here, most of the people were youths . Although it was still in April and the weather could barely be considered warm, those who came were wearing relatively little clothing . In fact, the clothing could even be said to be revealing . Some girls sat on the stage at the bar covered in heavy make-up .

"Handsome man, would you like a drink?"

A lady with dyed yellow hair and could barely be considered beautiful saw w.a.n.g Yao and offered him a drink . She plastered herself onto him . w.a.n.g Yao quickly retreated .

"My apologies, thank you . "

"Oh, how shy!"

"This way please . " Chen Ying saw the scene and laughed . She gestured for w.a.n.g Yao to follow her to the side where there were tables with less people around . The lady did not follow them .

"Welcome, would you like a drink?" The moment they sat down, a waiter came up to take their orders .

"Water please," Chen Ying said .

"Me too . "

"Sure, wait a moment please," the waiter replied, stunned . "How interesting, coming to a bar to drink plain water . "

Those who drank water in a bar were uncommon because naturally, even water was not free .

w.a.n.g Yao sat there observing the people around them . Some were vigorously shaking their bodies while others were doing bar dances . There were also those drinking morosely in a corner . Here was a place to vent and let loose, and w.a.n.g Yao felt truly out of place in here, like a crane amidst chickens .

"Let's go . "

After the water was served, w.a.n.g Yao smiled at Chen Ying and said . He did not take even a sip .

"Sure . "

Chen Ying got up to settle the bill .

"Would you look at that . The lady beside that young man . Beautiful . "

"Coming to the bar and letting the girl pay . He has some methods . "

"I'll go hit them up . "

A man, thick with the smell of alcohol, swaggered in front of w.a.n.g Yao .

"Hey man, you're quite capable!"

"Please excuse us," Chen Ying said . There was a faint smile on her face, and it revealed her two dimples .

"Hey lady, your smile is really beautiful . It's just like a cla.s.smate I once knew . Let me try to recall, hmm…" Even as the man was speaking, he suddenly fell onto the floor with a loud thump, landing on his b.u.t.tocks . The alcohol in his cup had spilled out, splas.h.i.+ng onto his face .

"Who?!" As he got up, looking around, he found that everyone was looking at him, and the girl and guy had long left . He was left standing there like an idiot .

"Okay, they're gone, let's continue drinking . "

"Right, drinking . "

At this moment, Chen Ying and w.a.n.g Yao had already got in the car .

"I never expected that you were also a martial arts expert, Ms . Chen," w.a.n.g Yao praised . In the relatively dark environment in the bar earlier, w.a.n.g Yao had seen Chen Ying attack . Her motions were very fast, and with a sweep of the leg and a hook, the man who obstructed their way had already fallen to the floor .

"You praise me too much . If I'm not wrong, you have also trained in martial arts, haven't you, Mr . w.a.n.g?" Chen Ying replied, laughing .

"A little . "

"Where do we go?"

"Let's go back . "

The car drove back to the little side home . w.a.n.g Yao was in no hurry to go back and sleep, so he sat in the small house gazing at the Beijing sky .

"Let's hope that tomorrow will be a bright and sunny day . "

The next day, it was indeed bright and sunny .

Early in the morning, w.a.n.g Yao was up practicing his martial arts routine in the small courtyard . He did a little bit of Tai Chi, and also some fist arts from the book he had just gotten .

As he was practicing, Chen Ying, who was preparing breakfast, stopped what she was doing and stared at him . She observed very carefully and seriously, and it was only until w.a.n.g Yao had finished his routine that she regained her wits .

"It seems I've been mistaken . Mr . w.a.n.g knows way more than a little . You're truly an expert!"

"Nonsense, this is just for show . "

"If yours is just for show, then in this world, there aren't many who know true martial arts," Chen Ying said this as she continued to prepare his breakfast .

"So much?" w.a.n.g Yao looked at the food and said . "I can't finish all of this . Have you eaten? If you haven't would you like to eat with me?"

"I won't, please go ahead . " This young lady named Chen Ying still maintained a respectful air while dealing with w.a.n.g Yao .

After breakfast, w.a.n.g Yao took out the ingredients he had prepared the day before and got ready to make the Regather Soup .

The water was the ancient spring water he had prepared the night before, and the firewood was good quality wood from the hill . As for the herbs, it was also good quality herbs purchased by Chen Boyuan . There was no doubt about the quant.i.ty or the age of the herbs . Only the pot used to boil the medicine was a bit inferior, but over here, w.a.n.g Yao simply could not take out his multifunctional pot for herbs from the system .

Crackle . The firewood from the hill started burning .

The pot, which was hung above the flames, also started to heat up .

w.a.n.g Yao thus began to put in the herbs that he had prepared into the pot . This pot was not as high quality as his multifunctional pot, and so naturally he had to be much more careful .

The spiritual herbs from the hill were also added in from the start .

A very unique medicinal fragrance then filled up the yard .

"You're brewing medicine now?" Chen Ying, who had come out of the room to look, asked . This was her first time seeing people make Chinese medicine in this manner, and furthermore, it was a young man . Watching that focused expression on his face, it was just like watching an expert .

"Yes . "

The boiling was growing extremely intense, and the fire had grown bigger . w.a.n.g Yao temporarily took out a few pieces of firewood, only to put them back in a while later .

Time pa.s.sed quickly . The color of the medicinal soup had visibly changed .

"And now for the final medicine . "

Guiyuan was also added in . The herbs were truly mysterious . Without even looking at its own medicinal strength, it was able to combine the effects of various other herbs, preventing them from countering each other in the process .

"Oh, you're brewing medicine now, Doctor w.a.n.g?"

At this moment when the medicine was almost done, a slim and beautiful lady entered the small yard . This lady had naturally curly hair, a pretty face, and a graceful, willowy waist . She also had a heroic air around her . This person was Guo Sirou .

"Please wait a moment . " w.a.n.g Yao smiled, as he looked at her .

"Don't rush, take your time," Guo Sirou responded . Saying this, she grabbed a stool and sat down beside w.a.n.g Yao, showing great interest in watching him brew medicine .

"Having known you for so long, this is the first time I've seen you brew medicine . "

"Ms . Guo, please have some tea . " Chen Ying had brought over a cup of tea .

"Thank you . "

As the medicinal soup was boiling in the pot, w.a.n.g Yao stared at the soup, observing the color, smelling the scent and other minute changes . Even those trained in traditional Chinese medicine might not even understand these various changes, because Chinese medicine today had also begun to use modern technology such as the decocting machines .

"It's done!"

w.a.n.g Yao suddenly reached out his hand and quickly retrieved the pot from the fire .

"What medicine is this?" Guo Sirou asked, smiling .

"Regather soup . "

"Regather soup, the one you made for me the previous time?" Regarding this medicine, Guo Sirou could not be more familiar with it . It was precisely this medicine that had brought her grandfather back to life from the brink of death . Right now, he had lived for a few months since then, and it looked like he would continue living healthily for another year or more .

"Yup," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

"It's for Xiaoxue?"

"Yeah, her const.i.tution is far too weak now . Even if I use the pills to temporarily protect her life, she won't hold on for long . We must find some way to improve her body's strength . "

"Do you have time in the afternoon?"

"What's up?"

"My grandpa would like to see you to thank you for your help the previous time . "

"There's no need; you bought those two doses of medicine previously using your own money," w.a.n.g Yao responded .

"There's no harm in going to visit . My grandpa isn't a tiger; he won't eat people," Guo Sirou laughed . As she said this, this charming lady leaned in closer to w.a.n.g Yao, where he could clearly smell her fragrance .

"Then, help me thank your grandfather on my behalf . There's really no need for this," w.a.n.g Yao said .

"Someone's here?" w.a.n.g Yao raised his head after hearing a noise .

"Why refuse to see me so badly?"

The person who had entered was an elderly man who looked to be almost 80 years old . In his hand was a walking stick, and his back was slightly bent . His face was filled with the lines of old age, and his head was completely bald . Looking at his body, it was evident that he was weakening, and the only thing that still looked lively was his pair of eyes . Behind him followed three people—two men who looked around thirty and were clearly still fit, as well as a fifty-year-old man who was somewhat fat but had smiling eyes and looked to be very amiable .

"Grandpa, why did you come out?" Guo Sirou immediately went up to him and asked .

"Can't I come out to see the person who saved my life?" Guo Sirou's grandfather said .

"Greetings, elder!" When she saw this elderly man, Chen Ying was very surprised, and she immediately brought out a chair for him .

. . . . Hes here? Yes . Xues life is saved? For now . Thats good, thats good . An old man released a long sigh . Grandpa, how about I invite him over to see you tomorrow? Thats fine . Speaking of it, even my life was saved by him . I ought to thank him properly . You should greet your Uncle Su first; dont steal his guest away from him, the elderly man said, smiling . Okay, I will speak to Uncle Su first . Beijings night view was rather beautiful . After packing for a little while, w.a.n.g Yao went to find Ying . What requests do you have? Could I trouble you to bring me around? This is my first time in Beijing, w.a.n.g Yao said, smiling . Sure, Ying responded . The two of them slowly drove out in one car .
