Chapter 15

Cao Xinghua was fully focused on learning medical skills and didn't care about other things. He nodded and said, "This is good, from now on you will be my senior brother.

"Senior brother, please accept my respect."

As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Cao Xinghua still respected the rules passed down by the ancestors. This bow was sincere and heartfelt.

"Uh..."

Seeing the old man with a full beard bow to him and call him senior brother, Ye Bufan still felt a bit strange, but this was already the best outcome.

After the matter was settled, He Tianqi ordered someone to set up an incense table, place Ye Xiaoyao's memorial tablet, and then Cao Xinghua bowed to become a disciple. Ye Bufan, on behalf of Ye Xiaoyao, accepted Cao Xinghua into the Ancient Medical School as an outer disciple.

After all the formalities were completed, He Changqing said, "Brother Cao, now Ye is your senior brother, so we three will be of the same generation."

Upon hearing this, He Tianqi and He Shuangshuang were immediately stunned. This meant they would be considered juniors.

Especially He Shuangshuang, who had just been scowling at Ye Bufan, was now supposed to be his granddaughter.

He Changqing paid no attention to this, raised his hand, and called He Tianqi over, saying, "Third brother, come and meet your Uncle Ye."

"Uh..."

He Tianqi looked embarrassed. After all, he was a powerful figure in Jiangnan, respected in both the legal and illegal worlds. It seemed inappropriate for him to call a young man "uncle."

Ye Bufan said, "Forget it, let's just call each other by our names. We'll be of the same generation from now on."

He Tianqi let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "Brother Ye, if there's anything in Jiangnan, just let me know, and I'll take care of it."

He passed this test, but He Changqing had no intention of letting He Shuangshuang off. He called her over and said, "Shuangshuang, come and meet your Uncle Ye."

He Shuangshuang stomped her foot in anger and said, "Grandpa, I won't call him that, he's not even older than me."

He Changqing said sternly, "Shuangshuang, we must follow the rules and maintain proper etiquette."

In their large family, traditional etiquette was still highly valued.

This time, Ye Bufan didn't say anything but smiled at He Shuangshuang. The girl had caused him a lot of trouble, and he wasn't about to let this chance to tease her go.

"I..."

He Shuangshuang glanced at He Changqing, knowing she couldn't get out of it, and finally said helplessly, "Uncle Ye, hello!"

Her voice was very low, almost inaudible. Ye Bufan pretended to be hard of hearing and said, "Old age makes my ears not so good. I didn't hear what you said!"

Seeing him act like an old man, He Shuangshuang gritted her teeth in anger but, out of respect for He Changqing, had to say loudly, "Uncle Ye, hello, did you hear me this time?"

"I heard, I heard!"

Ye Bufan said, "Since you've called me Uncle Ye, I should give you something. Take this, just follow the prescription, and your body will be fine soon."

He then took a piece of paper and a pen, wrote a prescription, and handed it to He Shuangshuang.

After seeing Ye Bufan's medical skills, He Changqing knew that each prescription he wrote was worth a fortune. He quickly said, "Girl, thank your Uncle Ye."

"Thank... Uncle Ye!"

He Shuangshuang said this, but she hated Ye Bufan in her heart, gritting her teeth and vowing to teach him a lesson when she had the chance.

At this moment, Ye Bufan's phone rang; it was a call from Qin Chuchu.

"Xiao Fan, where are you?"

After the two incidents, Qin Chuchu had become much closer to him, and her way of addressing him was very affectionate.

"I'm outside, is there something?"

"We agreed to have dinner together. A new restaurant called Drunken Jiangnan has opened in Jiangnan City. The food there is very good. I've booked the No. 1 private room, see you at 6 PM, no excuses."

Qin Chuchu hung up after saying this.

Ye Bufan had almost finished his business and didn't want to stay any longer. He said to He Changqing and Cao Xinghua, "I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."

"Alright, let's have a good drink another day." He Changqing said to He Shuangshuang, "Girl, drive your Uncle Ye back."

He Shuangshuang was extremely frustrated but couldn't ignore her grandfather's command. She pouted and led Ye Bufan out of the room.

After leaving, she immediately took out the prescription from her pocket, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the nearby trash can, as if this could vent some of her anger.

Ye Bufan just smiled. The lump in her chest was not optimistic, and now that she had thrown away his prescription, she would eventually suffer for it.

In the courtyard, He Shuangshuang was about to walk to her Lamborghini, but suddenly saw a Jetta parked nearby.

This was the car the He family provided for the nanny to buy groceries. It was usually left unlocked with the keys in the car.

"Hmph, you dare to take advantage of me, I won't use my sports car to send you. It's already good enough that I'm letting you ride in the Jetta."

He Shuangshuang thought this and walked directly to the Jetta, opened the door, and said, "Get in!"

Ye Bufan naturally saw through her intentions but didn't care. He opened the passenger door and got in.

He Shuangshuang drove out of the villa and asked angrily, "Where are you going?"

"Jiangnan Medical University. Stop at a kitchenware store on the way, I need to buy some things."

He Shuangshuang didn't want to say another word to him and drove forward. About half an hour later, she stopped in front of a large kitchenware store.

Ye Bufan said, "Do you want to come with me?"

"I'm not going, hurry up, or I won't wait for you."

He Shuangshuang said irritably.

Thinking about having to call this guy, who was younger than her, "Uncle Ye," made her even angrier.

Ye Bufan smiled and turned to enter the kitchenware store.

As soon as he entered, a young punk with yellow hair took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Boss, I saw the guy Master Xiang is looking for, he's with a woman."

The person on the other end asked, "Who is the woman? Is she the Miss Qin?"

The yellow-haired punk said, "No, the woman is driving an old Jetta, she doesn't look rich at all."

"That's good, keep an eye on them, I'll bring people over right away."

The yellow-haired punk hung up and kept his eyes on the door of the kitchenware store.

Ye Bufan soon came out of the store, carrying several large and small boxes.

He had now gathered all the herbs needed to refine the Foundation Building Pill, but he didn't have a pill furnace, so he had to buy some kitchenware to make do.

He put the items in the back seat of the Jetta and then sat in the passenger seat again. The two continued driving.

Not long after the car left, several SUVs sped up and surrounded the Jetta. Then, more than ten young punks with steel pipes and short knives jumped out of the cars.

The leader was a bald man, holding a long machete. He slashed the front windshield of the Jetta to pieces and pointed at the car, shouting, "Get out of the car, now!"

The other punks behind him didn't hesitate to swing their steel pipes, smashing the Jetta to pieces in a matter of seconds.
