Chapter 22: Not an Opponent
"That won't work. Even if you have two days to live, it's not their turn to harm you." An Yan said as she strode out of the yard. She was not afraid of that group of people at all.
The leading man was very surprised and asked, "Who are you and what is your relationship with him?"
An Yan didn't say anything. She didn't need to explain to them. She just picked up a thin branch by the wall and went forward.
There were nearly twenty of them, all of whom knew martial arts. They were a little harder to deal with than those third-rate thugs, but they didn't get any advantage over them.
An Yan didn't want to see blood, for fear of dirtying the yard. She saw the medicine in the white porcelain bowl began to change color under the sun, so she put some on the branches and then threw it in the faces of the group of people.
Those people didn't know what she was throwing, they just shouted: "You can't beat one person, rush over and capture him alive."
An Yan was agile. Instead of dodging, she rushed forward and smeared the medicine on everyone's face.
Hua Ye, who was inside, looked out the window and saw them all covering their faces and crying out in pain. Only An Yan stood there alone, having stuck the branch in her hand into the soil. She said for her, "If you don't want to die, get out of here now. Otherwise, it won't just be your face that'll hurt, it'll be your whole body that'll rot and you'll die in a few days."
The leading man said, "What is this? Give us the antidote. Give us the antidote quickly. It hurts so much. It hurts so much."
"You will die if you stay, or get out of here." Hua Ye was very imposing.
An Yan outside felt that if Hua Ye had not had this experience, he would definitely be better than the people from the three major families.
The courtyard became empty again. After An Yan closed the door and returned to the house, she said, "They are here to kill you. They must be from the three major families."
"Of course, today's price is ridiculously high." Hua Ye also knew this, but he was happy in his heart, which showed that those people were anxious.
"Or, you can come home with me. It's not safe here anymore." An Yan wanted him to spend the few limited days he had in peace.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, everyone will die one day."
"In that case, I'll put a hidden line at the door, and you don't have to go out." An Yan said as she took the fine cotton thread. After putting on gloves, she soaked the thread in the medicine, and then took it out and placed it at the door.
Hua Ye said, "How are you going to get out later?"
"I'll get out of the tree and put some incense there before I leave, so I won't be afraid. They'll feel pain when they touch the thread, and they'll fall unconscious when they smell the incense." An Yan felt that this was the safest way.
Hua Ye nodded slightly, feeling a little touched. He hadn't felt the care of his family for a long time. He thought it was great to have an apprentice, but he didn't have many days left to live.
An Yan said: "Thank goodness I came here today, otherwise they would have succeeded."
"Go back, I'm fine here, don't let your family worry." Hua Ye signaled her to go home quickly.
An Yan looked at her watch and said, "It's almost time. The big day of the Renyi Medical Association will be in three days. You can finally let go of the grievances you've suffered for so many years."
"It always surprises me where this girl learned her skills." Hua Ye is really proud to have such a disciple.
"It's nothing, just a normal thing." An Yan was not at all proud. She helped to tidy up the yard and then went home.
She didn't know there were guests at home.
Li Xuan was busy cooking upstairs. Seeing that the kitchen was short of some ingredients, he went to the supermarket to buy some. When he walked downstairs, he happened to meet An Yan coming back. He immediately went over and said, "An Yan, you're back just in time. It's almost time for dinner."
"Why are you here?" An Yan felt strange.
"I came to thank you for curing my illness last time. I feel much better now." Li Xuan said with his head down, looking embarrassed.
An Yan said: "You're welcome, you've helped us."
"I wasn't helping you, I was actually doing you a disservice. I feel really bad about it." Li Xuan said with a naive look, "My family is in debt now, and I don't have anything nice to give you as a thank you, so I came here today to cook a meal. I hope you don't mind."
"So you are also a young master, and you can cook?" An Yan was a little unconvinced.
Li Xuan quickly said, "I can. Now I need to go to the supermarket to buy some garlic. I just need one last dish." Then he walked past her and went to the supermarket.
An Yan smoothed her hair, feeling that he didn't need to do this at all.
Suddenly, a car horn sounded behind her. An Yan turned around and saw that it was Li Rongsen's car.
He got out of his car, handed her a set of keys, and said, "You left them in my car."
"Thank you." An Yan took it.
"Did you invite guests to dinner today?" Li Rongsen asked her in a nonchalant manner.
He came here earlier than her and waited downstairs for nearly an hour. He saw Li Xuan and An Yichen talking and laughing. They went to the supermarket together twice and bought some food.
An Yan answered casually, "No." Then she turned around and went back upstairs.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Li Xuan coming back with a few garlic cloves in his hand, walking past Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen returned to the car, started it, and went back to the office first.
Someone was waiting for him there. He stood up and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm a representative of the Lu Group. I wonder what Mr. Li is planning. Is he bidding for the Snow Lotus Purple in order to join the Renyi Association?"
"That's exactly what I was planning." Li Rongsen replied with a faint smile.
"The Renyi Conference will be held in three days. Anyone who meets the qualifications can join the Renyi Association and become a new shareholder member."
"You're inviting me."
"I'm telling you about this and reminding you that you can't attend without an invitation from the president of Xu Group." He was about to leave after he said that.
Li Rongsen frowned. After all the trouble, he just came over to pull him around, took off his pants and farted in front of him.
The invitation letter is an important thing. It is a stepping stone and also the qualification to enter the Renyi Association for competition. Without this thing, even if he forces his way in, he will not be recognized.
But he wasn't worried. He poured a glass of water and sat on the sofa. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Li's mother. She asked, "Can you invite Yanyan back for dinner soon? We've hired a new chef, and the food should suit her taste."
“She may not be available.”
"I don't care whether she's free or not. You have to invite her. Lina was so ignorant last time, so you should apologize to her."
"No need, An Yan doesn't care whether Wang Lina wants to apologize or not." Li Rongsen thought what he said was right.
But Li's mother was unhappy and said, "She doesn't care, but you and Lina have to apologize to them. You have to go and invite them." Then she hung up the phone.
Li Rongsen frowned, wondering who the man was who appeared in An Yan's house today. It seemed that they had a good relationship, seeing how attentive he was.
