"Okay, I...I'll find the card number right away."

Fifteen minutes later, the village chief received a transfer of five million from Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu stared at the village chief and said seriously, "Let me make this clear from the beginning: this five million is just for your planning. You must not engage in any favoritism. Every account must be properly recorded and can withstand scrutiny. I will come over again in the future. If any villagers complain about you and I find evidence, I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail."

Thump.

The village chief immediately knelt down in front of Ye Qiu: "Mr. Ye, you can rest assured. If I have even the slightest ill intention, I will surely die a horrible death."

Mr. Ye, on behalf of all the villagers, I, Yu Mingxiang, thank you for your kindness. Thank you.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

"Mr. Ye is truly a good person."

The surrounding villagers all expressed their gratitude with great emotion.

Ye Qiu reached out and helped the village chief up, smiling slightly. "No need for thanks. Just do your job well. We won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

After saying that, Ye Qiu pulled Chen Bo away.

Seeing Ye Qiu's hurried demeanor, Chen Bo sensed something was amiss: "Brother Ye, I have a feeling that the essence of the plants and trees on that ancestral gravesite being completely devoured...could it be you who did it?"

Ye Qiu remained expressionless: "What makes you say that?"

"Because you're too nervous." Chen Bo sneered, "Brother Ye, a peerless master like you wouldn't normally be nervous. Something's definitely fishy about this."

"Get lost."

Ye Qiu kicked Chen Bo away.

Chen Bo was kicked thirty meters away, unharmed, but his buttocks still hurt terribly.

He clutched his backside, looking utterly defeated. "I promise I won't tell anyone, Brother Ye. Could you be a little gentler next time?"

"You can be gentler, I'll make sure your chrysanthemum opens next time."

Ye Qiu said.

"Holy crap..."

Chen Bo gasped and immediately dared not say another word.

...

Two hours later, the two returned to the Dragon Palace together.

Qin Yue had already returned after completing her mission.

Seeing Ye Qiu and Chen Bo return, Qin Yue was somewhat surprised: "You've already completed the mission? You brought back Mr. Gu and the others?"

"No," Chen Bo said. "Elder Qin, Mr. Gu and his group are all dead. Their bodies have been swallowed up by a magic jar."

"The magic jar?" Qin Yue's face darkened. "What magic jar? Don't talk nonsense."

"Elder Qin, everything I said is true. I did not lie."

"I think you deserve a beating, spouting nonsense." Qin Yue raised her hand to hit her.

"No, no." Ye Qiu stopped Qin Yue, and then said to Chen Bo, "Chen Bo, you go out first, I'll talk to her."
