City’s Best Divine Doctor

The continuous Moonlight Essence was absorbed by Ye Qiu; it turned into a stream of Spiritual Energy as it entered the meridians, circulating throughout the body before finally gathering in the Dantian, transforming into stored True Qi.

During the process from quantitative change to qualitative change, when the Dantian could no longer accommodate the immense amount of True Qi, a reaction occurred. Like a dam breaking, the boundless True Qi surged around, and Ye Qiu felt as if his mind exploded at that moment.

Ye Qiu knew he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, advancing from the mid-Second Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage to the peak of the Second Layer.

Very soon, he sensed the faint lotus-like object in the Dantian appearing again. Compared to before, it was much more distinct, as if it had grown taller.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes to find that it was already past three in the morning.

During cultivation, it felt as though time did not exist, passing very quickly.

Upon rising, he first intended to take a shower, wondering if Li Qianqian was asleep.

As he entered Li Qianqian’s room and got onto the bed, she opened her eyes and asked, "Why so late?"

...

The next morning, when Ye Qiu woke up early, it was already past seven.

After washing up and heading downstairs, he found Xiaomai and Ye Xue preparing breakfast.

Today, Ye Weidong and his wife planned to check on the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant in Jiangzhou.

Ye Qiu had been there once.

It was during that time in Jiangzhou when some thugs tried to extort protection money and were harshly dealt with by Ye Qiu and Cai Yong; since then, no one dared to approach the restaurant.

"Are you going to take a look over there?" Ye Weidong asked.

"Dad, how’s the business there?"

"Not bad, the people in Jiangzhou are quite well-off."

Actually, Jiangzhou is not inferior to Jinling, and its economy might even be more renowned.

Historically, Jiangzhou was known as the land of fish and rice.

Nowadays, the GDP there has long surpassed a trillion.

According to Ye Weidong’s plan, they would open three Imperial Cuisine Restaurants in Jiangzhou before expanding to several locations in the East Sea.

Their current strategy was to first set up operations in Jiangzhou.

The three restaurants in Jiangzhou opened simultaneously, and in no time, their revenue matched that of the ones in Jinling.

It’s clear that relying solely on Ye Xue for finance is no longer feasible; they had already recruited several financial staff from universities, with Ye Xue just checking the accounts occasionally.

There were too many matters for Ye Xue to handle alone, and she couldn’t manage it all.

Going to Jiangzhou?

The gardens in Jiangzhou are quite famous.

Ye Qiu recalled that it was during a visit to a garden with Song Ying that they encountered Xiaomai, who was then blind, and invited her for treatment.

"I’ll ask Lingshow and the others."

He woke Liu Lingxiu and the others to see if they wanted to visit Jiangzhou for fun.

Liu Lingxiu certainly wanted to go, having heard that one could see both gardens and the beautiful scenery of Lake Tai there.

Besides Liu Lingxiu and her friends, Li Qianqian and the others also wanted to go.

However, Huo Yingying, being a public figure, wanted to go but couldn’t, as she had to go to a gaming company to shoot an endorsement ad, so she and Li Fanghua wouldn’t be joining.

After breakfast, Liu Lingxiu, the three girls, Xiaomai, and Lin Xiang got into Ye Qiu’s car, while Ye Xue and Chen Fang got into Ye Weidong’s car, and Li Qianqian drove her own car.

As they left the Peach Blossom Spring Villa, they headed first to the first Imperial Cuisine Restaurant in Jiangzhou.

Upon arrival, it was just past nine in the morning.

The time was still early, and they hadn’t expected many customers, but surprisingly, a lot of local patrons were already waiting to eat.

Ye Qiu just came to inspect and found nothing amiss, so he left Weidong and the others there and drove to a garden.

When arriving at the garden,

it was upon getting out of the car that Ye Qiu said, "Back then, this is where I met Xiaomai."

Really?

Liu Lingxiu and her friends couldn’t believe that Ye Qiu had met Xiaomai here.

If that’s true, it’s quite a fortuitous encounter.

In fact, it was during Ye Qiu and Song Ying’s trip to the East Sea for a university basketball match, passing through Jiangzhou, that they met Xiaomai here.

Besides meeting Xiaomai, they also encountered Song Ying’s former suitor.

"Back then, I was begging here,"

said Xiaomai.

She didn’t find the experience shameful at all.

Those days, unable to see and without support, she had left the orphanage with no other means than to play the piano in a remote area to beg.

Entering the garden, they found its scenery exceptionally nice.

Before, when Xiaomai couldn’t see, she imagined it, but now that her eyes worked fine, she realized it was completely different from what she had envisioned.

She knew that without Ye Qiu’s help, she might never know what her life could have been.

Ye Qiu took Liu Lingxiu’s hand, with Li Qianqian and the others following behind.

There are over a hundred gardens in Jiangzhou, certainly not something one can see in a single day.

Moreover, the ancient towns here are also fantastic.

After visiting the gardens, they headed to a nearby ancient town, even one that Xiaomai hadn’t been to before.

The ancient town, with its classical charm, was bustling with tourists, appearing harmonious and thriving.

Because of the crowds, they had to rent two small boats, exploring the town’s unique characteristics while a boatman rowed them along.

Around lunchtime, Ye Xue called and asked, "Ye Qiu, where are you?"

After Ye Qiu told her the name of the ancient town, it seemed Ye Weidong would drive the two of them over.

When they arrived, the three hadn’t been there before.

Even though their hometown, Huizhou, had many ancient towns, in the past, Ye Weidong and his wife led simpler lives with lower incomes, leaving them with little time or leisure to travel.

Even now, with the means and time to do so, the habits they developed over time made it hard for them to relax.

"Ye Qiu, the scenery here really is beautiful," said Ye Weidong.

"Mom and Dad, I told you, now that you have money, do whatever you want. To me, money is just numbers. Why busy yourselves with the restaurant yesterday? If you like the environment in Jiangzhou, I can buy you a garden villa here, and when you tire of the other place, you can come here for a change."

This?

The idea of retiring hadn’t crossed the minds of Ye Weidong and his wife.

Even though they knew Ye Qiu was indeed wealthy, not working felt like a loss of purpose for them.

Though the thought of buying a house here was new to them.

"Ye Qiu, I think it’s a great idea. Having a place here means you wouldn’t need to deal with hotels," said Li Qianqian.

Considering her father’s situation, she didn’t even know where he might be transferred next, possibly to the Jiangnan Province government or other cities.
