A short while later, another Maserati drove up. This time, Gu Yan didn't disguise himself; since he had already achieved his goal, it didn't matter anymore.

Xue Qiaoqiao stepped out of the car, wearing light makeup, her skin as smooth as porcelain. She wore a plaid shirt and a short skirt that accentuated her slender waist, and white stockings on her legs.

"Master Gu, Qiaoqiao was rude yesterday, please forgive me." Xue Qiaoqiao was slightly surprised to see Gu Yan's true face. If it weren't for Sister Mengya telling her about this place, she would have thought that Sister Mengya was lying to her.

"It's alright, it's just human nature," Gu Yan said calmly.

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Xue Qiaoqiao knew she had made it.

"Master Gu, please get in the car."

Gu Yan sat in the passenger seat, and Xue Qiaoqiao quickly sat in the driver's seat.

Gu Yan smelled the fragrance of the woman's perfume, glanced at the white stockings, and licked his lips.

He wondered, when would he eat her?

"Going out for dinner this time, I can also feed that old man some insects and even get a pretty girl as a bonus—a win-win situation," Gu Yan thought to himself.

When Xue Qiaoqiao saw Gu Yan looking at her like that, she glanced at him, her face slightly flushed, and then she started the car and drove off.

Looking at Xue Qiaoqiao's appearance, Gu Yan thought about how he himself was tall and good-looking, but lacked other qualities, which seemed quite normal.

On the road, Gu Yan appeared to be admiring the scenery outside the window, but in reality, he was using his divine sense to observe the scenery inside the car.

As he looked at it, he made clicking noises, saying, "This scenery is so beautiful," Gu Yan praised.

"The scenery in this area is the most beautiful in the entire J province. If Master Gu likes it, he can come here often. Qiaoqiao and her father will definitely welcome him," Xue Qiaoqiao said sweetly.

Gu Yan licked his lips and said, "I'll definitely come often."

Upon arrival, Xue Qiaoqiao led the way, while Gu Yan admired her two straight and shapely long legs from behind.

Upon entering the villa, they saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair, with Xiao Mengya, dressed in a light blue robe, pushing him from behind.

The head of the Xue family said very enthusiastically, "I was truly blind yesterday. I never expected the master to be so young."

Gu Yan said calmly, "Master Xue, you flatter me. I was just trying to increase your credibility."

As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, Xue Qiaoqiao blushed. She quickly said, "Master, it was Qiaoqiao's fault yesterday that caused you to be insulted. Today, Qiaoqiao will definitely apologize to you properly."

"Master Gu, please come inside. I have had wine and food prepared; we are only waiting for you." The head of the Xue family said readily, looking quite energetic.

Then Xiao Mengya pushed the wheelchair, and Gu Yan also went in, sat on the guest chair, and looked at the delicacies and various red wines that had just been laid out.

"Qiaoqiao, didn't you just say you wanted to apologize to Master Gu? What are you standing there for?" Patriarch Xue reminded her.

Then Xue Qiaoqiao skillfully opened a bottle of red wine, poured herself a glass, walked up to Gu Yan and said, "Master Gu, Qiaoqiao apologizes to you."

After saying that, she drank it down. Gu Yan watched as the red wine spilled out because she drank too quickly, flowing down her fair neck. A few seconds later, Xue Qiaoqiao finished the wine in her glass, her face slightly flushed.

Xiao Mengya poured Gu Yan a glass of red wine using a decanter.

However, Gu Yan didn't pay much attention to it, instead watching the red wine sliding down her fair neck.

His heart skipped a beat. Then he said, "Miss Xue, you're too kind. Please don't mention this matter again." He then picked up the glass that Xiao Mengya had just filled for him and drank it all in one gulp.

As he sat down, a thought flashed through his mind, and a small white worm appeared in his hand.

Gu Yan then used his divine sense to carry it to the ear of the Xue family head. It only took a moment.

The head of the Xue family suddenly scratched his ear and said, "Why does it feel a little itchy?"

When Xue Qiaoqiao saw this, she said worriedly, "Dad, you're not still recovering, are you? You can't drink, can you?"

"It's alright, isn't Master Gu here? Didn't you hear him say that there won't be any problems in the short term?" He then let out a gulp.

Gu Yan smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Patriarch Xue, I have already thought of a way to change the pill."

The head of the Xue family suddenly perked up and hurriedly said, "Master Gu, if you don't know what method it is, I will definitely cooperate fully."

“It’s very simple. Exchange medicinal herbs for pills, but they must be rare herbs, in large quantities, and of high age. As long as the quantity is sufficient, I can exchange them for a pill,” Gu Yan said.

"Alright, Master Gu, please rest assured, I will definitely deliver a large quantity of medicinal herbs to you within two days at most," said the Xue family head. Money was no object; the Xue family consisted of only a few people, and the money was earned by him, so he could spend it however he wanted.

Gu Yan, on the other hand, kept controlling the little white worm to slowly wriggle into the depths of the brain.

Suddenly, the head of the Xue family brushed his head slightly.

Gu Yan then asked, "Where did that old man go yesterday? I would like to ask him some questions."

"Master Gu, you mean Elder Zhou? His old friend spoke with him last night about some urgent matters that needed his help, so Elder Zhou went out temporarily," said the Xue family head.

"So that's how it is," Gu Yan thought to himself. "It saved me a lot of trouble."

After a hearty meal, the head of the Xue family said, "Master Gu, I need to rest for a while. Let Qiaoqiao show you around."

He also had some selfish motives. If he could tie Master Gu and his daughter together, he would have no worries in the future. Being able to meet someone who had that kind of elixir was no ordinary person.

Xue Qiaoqiao walked up to Gu Yan and said, "Master Gu, didn't you say the scenery here is beautiful? How about I show you around?"

Looking at the graceful young woman before him, Gu Yan said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Xue."

At this moment, he felt that his little white worm should have burrowed deep into the old man's brain. Once it burrowed deep enough, he was confident that even a god couldn't remove it, and the old man would become his puppet.

Of course, he wouldn't say any of this, and then, led by Xue Qiaoqiao, they walked towards a park.

"Master Gu, how old are you this year?" Xue Qiaoqiao asked, turning her head.

“I’m twenty-six this year,” Gu Yan replied.

“But the master looks to be only about twenty years old, about the same age as me,” Xue Qiaoqiao said, blushing slightly.

"How old is Miss Xue?" Gu Yan asked.

"Qiaoqiao is 21 this year," Xue Qiaoqiao said shyly. She was clearly sensitive about asking a woman's age.

"Oh? I thought you were only eighteen years old," Gu Yan teased.

Xue Qiaoqiao lowered her head and didn't speak. But Gu Yan had already seen her flushed little face. He really wanted to pick her up and kiss her, Gu Yan thought to himself.
