Chapter 223: Chapter 144: What are you thinking, you old coot! [Large Chapter, over 7000 words]_5

‘It’s okay, I’ve been thinking, I should go myself. Mr. Zhuge already has a lot on his plate, and if it’s too much, he won’t be able to handle everything!’ Bai Zhentian said.

He truly admired Mr. Zhuge when it came to handling matters.

Bai Zhentian felt that he really needed to learn from Zhuge.

Unfortunately, he was getting on in years.

There were some things, the spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.

“I plan to go back to Bo City in a few days, and give Mr. Zhuge a hand, to learn a bit,” Bai Zhentian said.

“Uh, Grandpa, actually…” Ye Fan continued.

“No more, my mind is made up. Susu, take good care of yourself, Grandpa will watch over the company. With me here, no one would dare to make a move!” Bai Zhentian declared.

Ye Fan could see that once Bai Zhentian made up his mind, it was really impossible to change it.

“Alright, Grandpa, take care of your health!” Bai Susu said.

She knew her grandfather’s character well – once he decided something, it was very hard to change his mind.

So, Bai Susu didn’t say anything further.

If Grandpa had made his decision, then she would support him!

Besides, with Mr. Zhuge and her grandfather together, there wouldn’t be any problem.

Mr. Zhuge was always very reliable in handling things.

“Don’t worry!” Bai Zhentian nodded.

He even felt a bit reluctant to leave this place.

Especially those few little rascals.

He would not see them for a while.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but fall into contemplation, thinking whether he should exchange some Elixir of Life for Old Master Bai. With it, his body might get somewhat better, and they would also feel more at ease.

Of course, he couldn’t give it openly; he’d have to figure out a way…

~~~

The next day, Ye Fan exchanged for an Elixir of Life and put it into Old Master Bai’s drinking cup. He watched with his own eyes as Old Master Bai finished the cup of water.

Only then did Ye Fan feel relieved.

“Ye Fan, why does this water taste different from usual? After drinking it, my body feels a bit warm,” Bai Zhentian asked with some puzzlement.

And why was Ye Fan staring at him? When he finished the water, it seemed like Ye Fan heaved a sigh of relief?

Could there be something in this water?

Of course, Bai Zhentian believed that Ye Fan would not harm him.

If he wanted to harm him, he wouldn’t have saved him three years ago.

Moreover, after drinking the water, he felt that his vitality and spirit improved a lot, and his body felt lighter.

What in the world was this?

How could it have such an effect?

Bai Zhentian was extremely curious and also quite shocked.

Even though he didn’t know what it was, it was definitely something good!

But since Ye Fan gave it to him in such a way, it meant that this thing was very precious, and he didn’t want others to find out or let it be leaked.

After all, something that could make one feel eight years younger after just one drink was certainly very…

The principle of possessing a treasure being a crime was something Bai Zhentian understood.

If he was to feign ignorance, then he might as well continue to do so!

“What could it be? It’s just tea, maybe the tea leaves are just of better quality!” Ye Fan lied with his eyes wide open.

He didn’t expect Old Master Bai to be so astute.

To notice there was something off right away, as if he sensed it.

But what does it matter if he noticed? He wouldn’t admit it.

Of course, he couldn’t admit it.

For everyone’s safety, and also…

“This tea is good; send me some more later,” Bai Zhentian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Good grief!

Asking for more of it, how could that be possible?

This was something very hard to come by!

Ye Fan wondered if Old Master Bai knew something or had sensed something…
