Chapter 742: Chapter 88: Mysteriously Ineffective Medicine
Xu Changfu, the patriarch of the Xu Family, was quite satisfied with Xu Lan Ya’s ability to use the Spiritual Energy at the North Campus of Huake Institute to cultivate the ginseng needed by the family.
For this reason, the displeasure he felt from the recent rumors about his granddaughter’s unseemly behavior also diminished somewhat.
"Lan Ya, Wang Shuai is after all your fiancé. I won’t fuss over the fact that you two didn’t cultivate good feelings for each other at the North Campus due to being busy with cultivation and planting. All I ask is that after you leave the Campus, you should also visit the Wang Family more. I heard from Wang Peng that during the New Year period, when you were in Beijing, you didn’t visit the Wang Family even once. Take advantage of the time Wang Fenglei is still there, visit them more," Xu Changfu, after all, being Xu Changfu, immediately made a phone call to Xu Lan Ya upon learning that Wang Fenglei returned to Beijing.
Xu Lan Ya, who was at the North Campus, listened to this call without a word, verbally agreeing to it.
No sooner had the call ended than Ye Heng’s call came in.
"Lan Ya, I’ve already taken care of the ginseng in the Spiritual Fruit Garden. Do you want to come and check it out?" The so-called demonstration ginseng field that Xu Lan Ya planted in the Spiritual Fruit Garden was essentially a front—Xu Lan Ya was a typical hands-off manager, only responsible for sourcing some good-quality ginseng seedlings from the north-east and handing them over to Ye Heng, who has been in charge ever since.
Before she met Yezi, Xu Lan Ya still had the interest to deal with Ye Heng and Wang Shuai; she would visit the Medicine Field in the Spiritual Fruit Garden to observe the ginseng cultivation every five days or so.
After meeting Yezi, she cooled towards the Wang Family. Not to mention Ye Heng, an Advanced Student with strength but unattractive as a toad.
During the trip to Snow Gully at Changbai Mountain, Yezi revealed some talents of Superpower Users, which made Aisha, who always looked down on him, show a very clear intent to bring him into her fold.
After returning from Changbai Mountain, Huang Tengchong was ousted. Xu Lan Ya didn’t know what Aisha was thinking, but she frequently made contact with Yezi, and recently she heard that the Huang Family had changed leadership and Yezi had become the executive CEO of the Huang Family.
Xu Lan Ya was secretly annoyed; her own power wasn’t sufficient and the family affairs were still controlled by Xu Changfu’s hands. Otherwise, she would have beaten Aisha to it and extended an olive branch to Yezi long ago.
However, Yezi’s change in status was also good for Xu Lan Ya, at least narrowing the gap in their statuses slightly.
Moreover, for a young person under twenty from a mountainous area, a windfall from heaven often leaves one disoriented, easily losing one’s inner nature.
But what made Xu Lan Ya itch with impatience was that, despite using her irresistibly beautiful looks and rarity of lowering her status, she had contacted Yezi multiple times, only to be rejected under the pretext of being busy with work.
What was he really thinking in his heart?
Xu Lan Ya played with her long hair in front of her, feeling jealous in her heart, hoping that Aisha the Fox had not played some dirty trick.
But that day in Snow Gully, she saw Aisha favor a young man with the surname Zhou, so she thought it unlikely that Aisha would stir up any more trouble.
"Lan Ya, are you listening?" From the other end of the phone, Ye Heng sensed Xu Lan Ya’s distraction and grew quietly anxious.
After the holiday ended, Ye Heng still hadn’t seen Xu Lan Ya. Today he used the excuse of asking her to come and see the ginseng field.
Eager to see her once, but Lan Ya, who was usually very interested in the ginseng field, only gave perfunctory responses today.
"I’m listening, didn’t you just say that the ginseng in the Spiritual Fruit Garden is growing very well? I knew I could rest assured entrusting the task to you," Xu Lan Ya cooed in flattery, making Ye Heng feel all the more smitten.
"That’s true, but recently someone else has planted ginseng just like you, and strangely, I’ve never even seen the variety of this ginseng before." Ye Heng, trying to win his beloved’s favor, would visit the Spiritual Fruit Garden every other day.
You must know that Advanced Students rarely set foot in Area B, and he not only timely loosens the soil and removes pests for the ginseng field but also pays close attention to the planting conditions of the surrounding Medicine Fields.
Initially, when Lan Ya said she wanted to plant ginseng, he didn’t particularly agree, considering that the harvest of the Spiritual Fruit Garden was proportional to the contribution made, but eventually, he couldn’t resist Xu Lan Ya’s gentle onslaught and agreed to her request.
Ye Heng wasn’t skilled at planting ginseng. The first attempt ended in failure, and the second only had a 40% survival rate. It wasn’t until the third planting that he achieved a survival rate of over 60%.
