I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 254 I really want to do it for her

The sound of the door opening immediately caught the attention of Jiang Yingzhu and the other two who were eating inside.

Jiang Yingzhu recognized Li Yancai as soon as he poked half his arm in.

"Hmph! You finally know to come back? Do you even know what time it is? You were out having a blast!"

"Isn't he back now?"

Li Yan walked into the main room, sat down at one side of the eight-immortal table, and placed the fried skewers on the table.

"It's all my uncle's fault. I went to see his new store opening, and he insisted on giving me extra things. I had no choice but to help him out. I could have come back earlier."

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at the large bag of fried skewers on the table, swallowed hard, and subconsciously realized that her stomach wasn't bulging yet.

"It shouldn't take that long, right?"

Li Yan unpacked the fried skewers and gestured for them to eat.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu muttered, "You think you can bribe me with just fried skewers?" while picking up a skewer of pork tenderloin and taking big bites of meat.

At the same time, he gestured to Mengmeng and his senior with his eyes.

Mei Mengqian nodded in agreement, "Yeah, why did you leave so early this morning? It's so strange."

"Yes."

Li Yan found it quite strange that the three courts were conducting a joint trial.

“Puff cough cough!!”

Instantly, three spitting-out sounds rang out.

Jiang Yingzhu, Mei Mengqian, and Hua Junshu simultaneously patted their chests, coughed violently, and looked completely bewildered.

Li Yan glanced at them; they were all patting their chests, but there was a world of difference between them.

Zhu Zhu's actions terrified him.

I really wanted to do it for her, but she didn't know to be gentle; what if she blew the picture?

He was equally terrified of Mengmeng and Shushu, and wanted to help them out.

Noticing someone's gaze, Jiang Yingzhu and the other two immediately regained their composure, only their trembling shoulders betraying their inner turmoil.

"Haha, cough!" Jiang Yingzhu laughed twice and then suddenly became serious, "You've already had surgery, and you still went to your uncle's place."

"No, after the checkup, the doctor said I'm very healthy and don't need anything."

Li Yan remained unfazed. The foolish girl had successfully diverted his attention!

"Really? If you're too scared, just say it out loud. We're all on the same side, we won't laugh at you," Jiang Yingzhu said skeptically.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu exchanged a glance, both feeling that Zhuzhu was a bit too bold. Was Li Yan so easy to tease?

Zhu Zhu really doesn't know how to learn from past experiences; when has she ever won a teasing contest?
The two observed the situation and prepared to retreat at any time.

Sure enough, the next second Li Yan revealed a meaningful look and put one hand on his waistband.

"You're all very curious, so why don't we take a look?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian immediately denied it.

"I'm not curious."

"Zhuzhu is curious."

Jiang Yingzhu blushed completely, and a string of beautiful words came out of her mouth, probably telling him to lie down on the ground first.

In short, the fact that he disappeared for a day was considered to have passed by thanks to Li Yan's deliberate concealment and the three women's intentional indulgence.

Sunday, another beautiful day.

Li Yan got up early as usual, went downstairs and greeted the senior students who were having breakfast.

"Senior, why are you always up so early?"

"Good morning." Hua Junshu nodded. "It's a habit. I also have millet porridge with my meals."

After she finished speaking, she looked out of the open gate and saw several suspicious people walking around in the fields by the roadside, doing something unknown.

There was another one, looking up at the tree planted by Li Yan.

Among those people, she vaguely saw someone familiar, but they were too far away to be sure.

"It seems like someone outside is eyeing the trees you planted."

"I saw it." Li Yan said, eating two steamed buns as he walked out.

In fact, those two people were not only looking at his tree, but also at his flowers.

Yesterday I was so focused on casting a great concealment spell on the house that I forgot about these flowers, plants, and trees.

Hua Junshu hadn't expected him to leave like that; she always felt he wasn't someone easy to approach. Li Yan, meanwhile, had already crossed the road and stood before the tree, looking down at the fields. He reached out and stroked the cherry tree trunk as if caressing a lover.

"Hey, do you want to buy cherries?"

Zhong Deng, wearing a black leather jacket, a polo shirt underneath, and black metal-framed glasses, paused for a moment, looked at Li Yan eating a steamed bun, and smiled slightly.

"Little friend, your cherry tree has only just sprouted buds, there are no cherries yet. But I can sell you the tree, how about three hundred yuan?"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he waited for Li Yan to speak, but Li Yan only said "oh" and continued to look down on him.

"Oh, you don't accept cherries."

"No, I won't accept it." Zhongdeng found communication difficult; sure enough, country folk weren't very bright.

"If you're not going to buy cherries, what are you doing here? You must be holding a silver spoon in your hand."

Zhong Deng and his assistant were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned bright red.

"Uncle, you can't touch trees even if you're using hand sanitizer. There's someone next to you, isn't there? Don't have such unusual fetishes. I've treated this tree with chemicals."

Upon hearing Li Yan's next words, the man in the leather jacket's expression changed repeatedly, especially when he heard that Li Yan had applied medicine.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the assistant next to him.

The assistant with the buzz cut subconsciously hummed in agreement, glancing at Li Yan through his leather jacket.

"What kind of medicine did you use? Don't you know you can't just use anything? Besides, how can you prove this tree is yours?"

"I used organic fertilizer from the rural toilets. If you don't believe me, come closer and smell it."

Zhong Deng's face twitched, he snorted and left.

"This is unbearable. Even Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times to invite him."

Li Yan pursed his lips and finished the last bite of the steamed bun.

Zhongdeng, who hadn't gone far, had a slight change in expression and decided to come back and ask again at noon.

Hua Junshu, who was following behind Li Yan, also became curious and came up to ask, "Are you really going to sell trees to them?"

"Not for sale. I'm a bit bored, just taking a stroll," Li Yan said honestly, his gaze fixed on the cherry tree.

Although the tree underwent some slight changes under the nourishment of his spirit-gathering array, it ultimately did not undergo abnormal evolution.

He wasn't afraid of these people scraping off some bark or picking some leaves.

Once back in the car, Yang Wenyu from Zhongdeng immediately started complaining to his colleagues.

"The people here are so inconsiderate. When are we going back?"

He felt that the cherry tree was really different and had some research value, but he didn't expect these people to discover it too.

"The higher authorities said to conduct a comprehensive exploration of Feiyun Mountain. Could it be some special geological feature, or something else?"

The man in the very center, with an exceptionally calm and mature demeanor, spoke.

"We'll be staying for at least three days, so hang in there, everyone. The conditions here aren't that harsh."

Yang Wenyu thought to himself that it wasn't tough, it was just that a few troublemakers had some sharp tongues.

And what am I supposed to do if you guys discover something good?
Ye Qian, who also conducts biological research, tilted her head slightly and glanced at him.

It's possible to guess Yang Wenyu's thoughts.

Ye Qian visited this place once before to see her daughter.

It was inevitable to see the flowers that Li Yan had planted, not to mention that he had also made Mengmeng love growing flowers.

This is something Ye Qian is very happy to see.

Even the flowers and plants are somewhat different.

It just so happened that Li Yan gave her a few potted plants, and it was thanks to these plants that Ye Qian was qualified to join the exploration team, where the minimum rank was professor.

And it is very likely that their professional titles will be raised this year.

Ye Qian didn't plan to ask Li Yan for it, because it wouldn't be appropriate.

More than anything else, she wanted to work with everyone to find out the cause of the unusual situation at Feiyun Mountain the day before yesterday.

At the very least, it should be acknowledged that it is harmless.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be safe for my daughter to live here.

Although Ye Qian was very restrained, Yang Wenyu was different. Before noon, he had loitered in front of Li Yan's house three times.

This successfully caught the attention of the elderly leader.

"Let's go over and see what's gotten into you, Yang Wenyu, that keeps loitering around in front of people's doors."
