After eating for a while, Ye Tian gave her a business card and said, "Xia Lei, I'll be in the capital for a while. If you need any help, just call this number."
He handed a business card to Xia Lei. The girl beside her pouted and said, "I advise you not to have any ideas about our Lei Lei. There are plenty of handsome guys chasing her, and you don't even make the list."
Ye Tian ignored her. Xia Lei, however, said, "Miao Qiu, stop it. Brother Ye Tian is a good person. He also knows miraculous medical skills. How handsome is that?"
The girl named Miao Qiu snorted, "What's the use of knowing a bit of medical skill? Look at our seniors at the arts school; they're already getting commercial performances and variety shows, earning tens of thousands per event."
Finally, the high-speed train arrived at the station, and they all got off together. As they exited the station, Ye Tian helped Xia Lei with her luggage, and they walked to the exit. Afterward, the two girls took a taxi back to the arts school.
Watching Xia Lei leave, Ye Tian walked towards a business van parked not far away. The driver was someone from his residence in the capital and had been waiting for him for over half an hour.
"Let's go home first," he said.
On the way, Ye Tian contacted Huang Yanran and said, "I've just arrived in the capital."
Huang Yanran laughed, "It's about time you got here. I'll be right over; I have something to tell you."
After that, he contacted Ye Jinlong. Ye Jinlong was very happy to hear that the Golden Jade Refining Pill had been successfully refined and said he would come to pick it up immediately. Ye Tian told him the address.
Upon returning to the residence, Huang Yanran was already waiting for him. She smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, are you staying in the capital for a few more days this time?"
Ye Tian replied, "We'll see. You said on the phone you had something to discuss; what is it?"
Huang Yanran said, "Let's talk about it in the room."
She personally helped Ye Tian change into slippers, handed him a wet towel, and asked a servant to make tea. She then said, "Your previous actions shocked the capital, and many important figures want to get to know you."
Ye Tian said indifferently, "Not interested." As a contemporary immortal, no matter how important someone was, they meant nothing to him.
Huang Yanran continued, "I know your medical skills are very advanced. Recently, my Huang family wants to get acquainted with a very important figure. However, this person's status is too high, and I can't find an opportunity to approach them. Recently, I heard that this important figure's mother suffered a stroke and became a vegetative state. Mr. Ye, could you please help?"
Ye Tian looked at her. "Isn't your Huang family dependent on the Long family? Why are you still looking for patrons outside?"
Huang Yanran replied, "More friends mean more paths. While this important figure's influence isn't as vast as the Long family's, he commands a terrifying force, and the Dragon Slaying Squad is one of his subordinate units."
Ye Tian's heart stirred. He had heard of the Dragon Slaying Squad before; they were said to be composed of experts.
He asked, "What does the Dragon Slaying Squad do?"
Huang Yanran explained, "They specialize in dealing with cultivators who have committed crimes and also in responding to invasions by foreign cultivators."
Ye Tian then asked, "What is this person's name?"
Huang Yanran replied, "Yang Dongfo. He is the top expert in the country, the 'East Buddha' in the saying 'East Buddha, West Demon'."
Ye Tian remarked, "The renowned East Buddha. If he can't cure his own mother, others are likely powerless."
Huang Yanran sighed softly, "The old lady is one hundred and three years old this year and has always been in good health. Moreover, she was a hero who fought against the Japanese invaders. After retiring from service, she dedicated herself to public welfare, helping many ordinary people in need. Furthermore, the old lady had extensive connections; several surviving elder figures of this era address her as 'Big Sister.' Yang Dongfo's current position is due to the old lady's influence."
Ye Tian immediately understood the implication and said, "You're saying that if the old lady passes away, Yang Dongfo might be replaced."
Huang Yanran nodded. "Yes, at least there's that possibility. There are several people whose strength and influence surpass Yang Dongfo's, and who wouldn't want to take that position?"
Ye Tian inquired, "What are the benefits of this position?"
Huang Yanran explained, "It allows access to top-secret national information and provides abundant resources, the kind that ordinary people cannot access, things that money can't buy!"
