"It is not the Serpent Evil, but rather a type of Xiantian Spirit Serpent Body," Jiang Chen said.
"Xiantian Spirit Serpent Body?" Chen Zhi, Ye Xinru, and the others were taken aback, completely confused.
"It's normal that you don't know. You'll understand in due time; there's no need to ask too many questions now," Jiang Chen replied casually.
"Then Mr. Jiang, is this Xiantian Spirit Serpent Body good or bad?" Ye Xinru couldn't help but ask.
"If you hadn't encountered me, it would be bad. But since you have, it’s good. President Ye, I want to take your daughter as my disciple; she will follow me in her cultivation from now on," Jiang Chen stated.
"That is naturally not a problem. For Ming'er to become Mr. Jiang's disciple is a great fortune for her," Ye Xinru exclaimed joyfully. This was undoubtedly a good thing. Having witnessed Jiang Chen's abilities firsthand, she couldn't help but feel thrilled that her daughter would be training under such a person.
"Good, then Ming'er, you will follow me from now on and become my official disciple," Jiang Chen declared.
"Master, tomorrow evening I will be there. Please invite the prominent figures of Gusu to witness my apprenticeship; I hope you can give me this opportunity," Chen Zhi said earnestly.
"Mr. Jiang, I will host an apprenticeship banquet for Ming'er at Golden Lake Villa tomorrow," Ye Xinru added.
"That works," Jiang Chen agreed without hesitation, as he still needed to stay in Gusu for a few more days.
That night, Jiang Chen rested in Ye Xinru's villa. The large villa was occupied only by the housekeeper and the two women of the Ye family; as for Ye Ming's father, his whereabouts were unknown, and Jiang Chen did not inquire.
The next day, Ye Xinru asked Ye Ming to accompany Jiang Chen for a tour of Gusu. After all, Ye Ming was a local and quite familiar with the area.
Before heading out, Ye Xinru handed her daughter a mask and a baseball cap. Ye Ming was already exceptionally beautiful; after being refined by Jiang Chen, she radiated Spiritual Energy and was stunningly gorgeous. Walking down the street like this would surely attract attention from passersby. With the National Day holiday bringing in many tourists, it was better to keep a low profile.
Fully equipped, Ye Ming set out with Jiang Chen. Naturally, they planned to visit the gardens of Gusu. However, Jiang Chen had little interest in Earth's scenic spots. Having traversed the immortal realm for thousands of years and seen countless wonders, he found Earth's landscapes—no matter how bizarre or ancient—rather mundane in comparison. Enjoying them occasionally served merely as a way to pass the time.
During the National Day holiday, tourist spots were crowded with people. After spending the morning exploring various sites with Ye Ming, Jiang Chen took the opportunity to share fundamental cultivation knowledge with her—information she had never heard before left her astonished.
At noon, Ye Ming took Jiang Chen to a unique restaurant in Gusu for lunch before continuing their exploration until it was time to return.
In the evening at Golden Lake Hotel, luxury cars arrived one after another at the entrance. Today was special as Ye Xinru personally hosted an event for Gusu's elite; no one dared to disrespect her.
Inside the banquet hall of Golden Lake Hotel, it was bustling with activity as Gusu's prominent figures gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing.
"The Young Master Song has arrived!" someone suddenly shouted.
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire banquet hall erupted in a stir, with many socialites from Gusu turning their eager gazes toward the source of the commotion. Song Mingliang had come with his parents, the Song Family, who held significant influence in Gusu. There were only a handful of families present that could rival the Song Family's standing.
Song Mingliang and his parents quickly scanned the room and soon spotted Ye Xinru, surrounded by a group of admirers. In Gusu, Ye Xinru was regarded as the foremost female powerhouse, and with the backing of the Ye Family, her status was naturally elevated. Many prominent figures in Gusu took pride in being associated with her.
"President Ye, you arrived quite early!" Song Mingliang's father, Song Zihau, called out cheerfully from a distance.
Upon seeing the Song Family approach, those gathered around Ye Xinru parted to make way for them. They knew better than to provoke the Song Family and opted to show them respect instead.
Seeing the Song Family members arrive, Ye Xinru smiled and replied, "Manager Song, today is my daughter's momentous day as she takes on a mentor. Of course, I had to come early to help host our esteemed guests."
"Oh, indeed! President Ye, where is your daughter?" Song Zihau asked as he scanned the area.
"She'll be here shortly. Manager Song, it's rather unusual for you to show such interest in my daughter," Ye Xinru observed keenly, picking up on the underlying meaning in his words.
"Haha, our families have been friends for generations. I've watched Ye Ming grow up; naturally, I would be concerned. Besides, perhaps our families could become even closer," Song Zihau said with a grin.
"Closer? Manager Song, what do you mean? I'm a bit confused," Ye Xinru responded, taken aback.
"President Ye, your daughter is nearly eighteen or nineteen now, and my son Mingliang is over twenty. It's time for them to consider marriage; why not arrange a union between our families?" Song Zihau stated directly without beating around the bush.
Ye Xinru was caught off guard. Due to her daughter's peculiar illness, no young man from Gusu had shown interest in marrying her before. However, today marked a turning point as her daughter had just recovered from her illness. The fact that the Song Family was now proposing marriage left Ye Xinru both surprised and shocked.
"Manager Song, my daughter is still quite young; let's discuss this matter later," Ye Xinru politely declined. If this had been some time ago, she might have considered accepting since Song Mingliang was one of Gusu's most outstanding young talents. Marrying him would indeed be a blessing for her daughter. But now that her daughter had fully recovered and appeared even more graceful and beautiful than before, Ye Xinru felt less anxious about her daughter's marriage prospects.
"President Ye, everyone knows about your daughter's situation. To be honest, I wasn't keen on this match either; it was my son who happened to meet your daughter today and took an interest in her. He insisted I speak to you about it; otherwise, I wouldn't have approached you," Song Zihau said with an unmistakable frown on his face. He had expected Ye Xinru to agree immediately but was taken aback by her refusal.
Earlier that afternoon, while Ye Ming and Jiang Chen were looking for a restaurant to eat at, they happened to cross paths with Song Mingliang at the same establishment. Although Ye Ming wore a mask while eating—something that had to be removed during meals—her current appearance undoubtedly captivated Song Mingliang.
Upon hearing this explanation, Ye Xinru quickly understood what had transpired. It seemed that Song Mingliang had encountered her daughter by chance today; given how stunning her daughter looked now, it was no surprise that any man would be drawn to her.
However, Song Zihau's attitude left Ye Xinru feeling somewhat displeased; his tone suggested that it was an honor for her daughter to attract his son's attention.
