"Alright, don't worry, I'll obediently complete the company's mission this time and return quietly. I'll wear a hat the whole way and not let anyone see me. In short, I won't do anything to let you down."
Hearing Ye Tiancheng say this, Hou Mingzhu was quite relieved. After arriving at the airport, she officially said goodbye to Ye Tiancheng. Hou Mingzhu wanted to help Ye Tiancheng with his suitcase, but Ye Tiancheng refused.
"I'm leaving now, wife. I think you should be careful when driving. Don't make your husband worry about you."
"I know. You be good too, and don't cause any trouble for me. Have a safe trip."
After Ye Tiancheng disappeared through the security gate, Hou Mingzhu's tears finally fell. It was just a small separation, but there was so much reluctance at his departure. Hou Mingzhu's nose felt sore. She hoped that everything would go smoothly for Ye Tiancheng and that he would return soon.
Ye Tiancheng was flying business class, arranged by the company. As soon as he sat down, he smelled a very fresh fragrance.
This orange-scented perfume felt exceptionally familiar to Ye Tiancheng. He then looked up and saw a very beautiful girl. She was truly a stunning sight.
Her long hair exuded a faint fragrance, and her skin was translucent. She didn't seem to be wearing much makeup, and her entire being radiated an ethereal aura.
It's human nature for men to look at beautiful women. So, even though he had just promised Hou Mingzhu not to cause trouble, Ye Tiancheng was merely looking. He was wearing a baseball cap and intended to keep a low profile. He would absolutely not take this opportunity to flirt.
"Why is it you?"
The beautiful girl noticed someone looking at her and turned around. Upon seeing Ye Tiancheng, she was still very happy.
"You?" Ye Tiancheng quickly remembered, "You're the one who bought my medicine, the big star Fang Ruyun."
"Please don't say that. I'm not really a big star; you're flattering me too much. I'm just an actress on the rise."
This Fang Ruyun seemed very well-behaved and spoke politely, which all added points in Ye Tiancheng's mind.
"Alright, no need to be so formal. Are you okay after taking my pills?"
"Oh, right. Even if I hadn't bumped into you, I wanted to contact you. Your pills are amazing. After taking them, I felt radiant. The treatments I had at the beauty salon weren't as effective as your pills. It seems that to become beautiful, one must focus on internal conditioning."
"As long as it works well, that's all that matters."
Those elixirs were very beneficial even to cultivators, let alone ordinary people. For women, they would preserve youth.
It seemed his experiments were useful. The "guinea pig" in front of him proved that the elixirs were effective for women. Ye Tiancheng then planned to refine some elixirs for Hou Mingzhu to improve her mood.
They chatted casually for a bit, and finally agreed that Ye Tiancheng would continuously provide Fang Ruyun with beauty elixirs.
Then, Ye Tiancheng prepared to close his eyes and rest. Behind Fang Ruyun in the business class cabin, there was a man who looked like a successful businessman. Dressed in a suit, he was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, looking very lewd and staring at Fang Ruyun as if he wanted to bore holes into her.
Fang Ruyun was a big star and was accustomed to being watched. However, such lewd gazes were still uncomfortable. Fang Ruyun glared disapprovingly at the gentlemanly scoundrel. The scoundrel, at least knowing some shame, saw that the beautiful woman clearly despised him and could only shift his gaze out the window. However, the plane had already taken off.
As the aircraft suddenly surged into the sky, leaving the ground like a bird, Ye Tiancheng felt very relaxed and at ease.
But this feeling of ease only lasted a few seconds before a voice suddenly echoed in his ear.
"It seems you're quite enjoying yourself. Believe it or not, if you don't marry Su Muxian, I'll make everyone on this plane pay with their lives."
"What do you want?"
The ancestors of the Su family were indeed incredibly powerful. If this plane, while in flight, were to experience even the slightest signal interference, it could lead to irreparable consequences.
"Unless you promise me you'll treat Su Muxian well, my descendants have been crying incessantly because you, this scumbag, have let them down. And now you have the nerve to sit here on a plane and enjoy yourself."
"Alright, I understand. I will definitely treat Su Muxian well. Please don't implicate innocent people."
The words of the Su family ancestor made Ye Tiancheng feel extremely creeped out, which is why he obediently listened. His attitude was exceptionally good at the moment, and he dared not disobey the Su family ancestor.
"Hey, brother, are you possessed or something? You're talking to yourself. Who are you trying to scare to death?"
That gentlemanly scoundrel, having failed to take advantage of Fang Ruyun, was likely feeling resentful and was now taking it out on Ye Tiancheng. Hearing Ye Tiancheng muttering to himself, he seized the opportunity to mock him.
"I have no quarrel with you. You'd better not provoke me. And judging by your attire, you look like an elite. Don't meddle in other people's business. This kind of behavior won't earn you any points in the eyes of beautiful women."
"I just genuinely feel that in business class like this, everyone should be an elite. After all, a business class ticket costs ten thousand yuan, while a regular economy class ticket is only two to three thousand. I didn't expect someone like you to be able to afford business class. It's quite surprising."
"I didn't get here without spending money. Why do you have so many demands? It's fine if I just don't mutter quietly anymore."
"But I think you're very low-class. It's not just the muttering; I think your demeanor is very provincial. May I be so bold as to ask what you do for a living? It's not related to agriculture, is it?"
This bespectacled, refined scoundrel was speaking quite politely. He could have been more direct, essentially calling him a farmer.
"I used to do farm work, but not anymore."
"Could you be one of those legendary farmer-entrepreneurs? You say it as if it's glorious, but in reality, you're just a farmer."
"What's wrong with being a farmer? If there were no farmers, you probably wouldn't have any food to eat. I would think that at your level, you wouldn't say such crude and unpleasant things, right? Although my education isn't very high, I at least have a bachelor's degree. There are things I know that you should know too, shouldn't you?"
"You really like to talk in vague generalities. Speaking up for farmers, it sounds very noble, but you can only say it verbally. What can you actually do for them? You can't do anything, and you just end up being a laughingstock."
"Alright, that's enough. Stop with the lectures; my ears are getting calloused. I don't like being lectured."
Ye Tiancheng had never paid attention to these people before. Now, he intended to be more open-minded, but this person was climbing over him. This was clearly an attempt to bully him.
"It seems I should tell the flight attendant. No, I need to find someone with connections to get you blacklisted by the airline. From now on, people like you won't be allowed to sit in economy class, let alone business class."
This gentlemanly scoundrel was truly annoying in his conduct. This time, his annoyance had reached Ye Tiancheng. Perhaps he had harmed many people before. Ye Tiancheng felt it was necessary to deal with this scoundrel on behalf of those who had been bullied by him. His current action was to uphold justice.
Under the scoundrel's incessant chatter, Ye Tiancheng finally couldn't help but act. He used his true energy and struck the scoundrel on the head.
Just now, the gentlemanly scoundrel was still talking at length about how he would teach Ye Tiancheng a lesson, preventing him from ever flying again, and even wanting to punch Ye Tiancheng back to the fields to continue farming with a hoe. However, his plan did not succeed.
Under Ye Tiancheng's blow, a reaction quickly occurred. The scoundrel began to convulse, and sweat started to bead on his face. Large drops of sweat fell like raindrops, and he was unable to speak.
Fang Ruyun was watching from the side but had no intention of intervening because she strongly disliked this man with his presumptuous gaze. She thought it was only right for him to suffer some punishment.
"Help me! Hurry and call a flight attendant! Save me..."
The gentlemanly scoundrel was in great discomfort, but he couldn't speak clearly. He could only try his best to ask others to save him. At this moment, only Ye Tiancheng and Fang Ruyun could hear him.
Fang Ruyun deliberately glanced in the direction of the gentlemanly scoundrel.
"Sir, what are you saying? I can't hear you clearly."
Although Fang Ruyun wore a friendly smile, her thoughts were rather dark. She certainly wouldn't make it easy for the gentlemanly scoundrel to get help.
However, Fang Ruyun didn't think Ye Tiancheng was responsible. She assumed the man had suddenly had an epileptic seizure. After about a few minutes, she called a flight attendant over.
Fortunately, by the time the flight attendant arrived, Ye Tiancheng had withdrawn his true energy, and the gentlemanly scoundrel returned to normal.
However, he was still panting heavily, his eyes were extremely strange, and his face was very pale. The ordeal had clearly taken a toll on him.
"Sir, do you have any other discomfort?"
"No, I'm fine. I'll just rest for a bit."
The gentlemanly scoundrel saw the smile on Ye Tiancheng's lips and knew he was responsible. He understood that as long as he didn't offend Ye Tiancheng, things wouldn't get worse. After the flight attendant left, the scoundrel sincerely apologized to Ye Tiancheng.
"I'm sorry. It was my mouth that was too foul. I apologize. I shouldn't have said such nasty things."
No matter how bold this person was, he had things to fear. This gentlemanly scoundrel was now very wealthy and naturally wanted to preserve his life. If his life were gone, then nothing else would matter.
"It's good that you understand."
With the gentlemanly scoundrel no longer lecturing him, Ye Tiancheng could finally relax and sleep peacefully.
The four-hour flight ended. As Ye Tiancheng disembarked, he realized that Fang Ruyun was not alone. There were also many staff members. It seemed they were going abroad to shoot some pictorials.
"Then let's keep in touch. I need to get busy with the shoot."
"Alright. If you need those pills, give me a call."
So, the initial purpose of Ye Tiancheng refining the pills was not this. But it was quite good, as it was an extra income. Fang Ruyun was a big star and certainly not short of money. Ye Tiancheng could foresee that he would definitely earn a lot from her, considering it as side income.
The matters Ye Tiancheng handled abroad went smoothly. He originally thought he would be able to fly back to China the next morning. However, late at night, he suddenly received a call from Fang Ruyun.
"Are you still abroad? I'm alone outside right now, but I feel like someone is following me. Can you come and save me?"
"Alright, tell me the location."
A big star wouldn't joke about something like this. It must be a real emergency, and judging by Fang Ruyun's tone, she sounded very anxious. Ye Tiancheng didn't dare to delay any further. If something truly happened, Ye Tiancheng would regret it for the rest of his life.
After receiving the location, Ye Tiancheng used his true energy to quickly arrive. He immediately saw the person following Fang Ruyun, who was the gentlemanly scoundrel from the plane.
