Episode 95 Invitation!

  Invitation for episode 95!

  It was another early morning, with clear skies, and Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The weather had been too good lately, already nearly a month now, in the large city of Longtan, there wasn't even a hint of rain, so he had no choice but to push back his plan to brave the storm once again.

  He couldn't help but reveal a faint smile at the corner of his mouth as he recalled yesterday's events. During this period, he had also begun to gradually come into contact with the Eastern cultivation world and some cultivator forces from all sides, starting to realize that on this planet, there were also some mysterious and unknown secrets.

  He couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly, as if he had sensed some kind of probing power, but it flashed by and disappeared extremely quickly. At this moment, he made a mental move, and carefully hung a jade pendant on his mother Li Ping's body. This was one of the extremely fast protective talismans made from the top-grade emerald glass that Li Yan had refined yesterday. Not only did it have an extremely strong defensive ability, but it could also warn him when he was under attack, and even transport him to a hundred miles away in an instant when his life was in danger. Unfortunately, his current cultivation was only at the level of a third-grade scattered immortal, otherwise, this effect would be even better.

  Lin Xiaoyun couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Mr. Li, you're really good to your mother." As one of the main nurses responsible for taking care of Li Ping, plus she knew some secrets about Li Yan and those people who came and went with him were all big shots, not ordinary people.

  Is that okay? Li Yan smiled wryly. If he had done enough, his mother wouldn't be lying here. Even with his immense power, what could he do? Alas... it was all because he had underestimated the situation after his rebirth, thinking he was in a peaceful era. He let out a soft sigh, as if remembering something, and then smiled: "Miss Lin, right? I almost forgot, I promised to treat you to dinner as a thank you."

  Lin Xiaoyun heard this and couldn't help but pause for a moment. She then replied with some embarrassment, "How can I accept that? I'm just a nurse. Since your mother is a patient in our hospital, it's my duty to take care of her."

  Li Yan burst out laughing and said, "I'm quite busy, so I often have to leave, but that doesn't mean I don't know. When I'm not at the hospital, you're always the one helping me take care of my mother. So, don't try to decline."

  "Alright then." After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xiaoyun still agreed.

  What surprised Li Yan was that not long after, he welcomed the only relatives from his mother's family who were still in contact with him. They were his maternal aunt, Li Yun, and her husband, Cai Feng, as well as their daughter, Cai Yunchan, who was one year younger than him. In his memory, they were a very kind-hearted family of three, although not wealthy, but would often help his own family. However, since they lived in the nearby city of Yuhang, the distance between the two families made it difficult for them to visit each other frequently.

  Cai Yunhan is a lovely little girl, although she has not fully grown up yet, but already shows a few hints of beauty. Originally, Li Yan wanted to invite them to have lunch together, but her uncle received a phone call and the three of them left in a hurry. This incident can be considered a small episode.

  After all, it was a treat to eat, although he didn't want to be too formal, but Li Yan still brought Lin Xiaojun to the Seaside Grand Hotel. He hesitated for a moment and thought that girls liked Western food better, so they entered a nearby Western restaurant. When they saw Li Yan, the hostess inside couldn't help but pause for a moment. It wasn't long ago that she remembered him as the young man her boss had treated to dinner last time. She quickly smiled and welcomed them: "Welcome! Mr. Li, is it just the two of you?"

  Li Yan was taken aback by the words and remembered that it was the beautiful waitress he had met when he came to eat last time. No wonder she recognized him, so he smiled and nodded: "Right, is there a good seat?"

  "Right this way, Mr. Li! Please follow me...” The beautiful waitress led them to a cozy corner, and as they sat down, they found that it was indeed a great spot with an excellent view, where they could see the surrounding environment, even some park scenery.

  Li Yan nodded in satisfaction and smiled at her, saying "Thank you!" He naturally knew that a good location like this usually required advance reservations. For him to come now on short notice and get it immediately was naturally a special favor.

  "No need to be polite, shall we order now?" The beautiful waitress was looked at by him with a smile, her face turned red immediately, seeing Li Yan nodding, she quickly ran back to get the menu.

  Lin Xiaoyun saw this and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Mr. Li, do you often come here?"

  Li Yan was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the boss here is the father of Ruo Yun, whom I helped cure last time, so we can be considered acquaintances."

  "Ah!" Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyun suddenly understood and smiled: "So this is the hotel opened by Ruo Yun's family." She couldn't help but click her tongue in surprise. Although she knew that Ruo Yun's family was very wealthy, she hadn't expected their business to be so large. The name of the seaside hotel was naturally familiar to her.

  Li Yan smiled and said: "Hehe, so, want to eat what just order, no need to consider anything."

  "Then... I won't be polite." Lin Xiaojun rarely smiled brightly, and took the menu handed over by the beautiful waitress. She flipped through it carefully, but after all, this was her first time here, and she didn't know what special dishes they had. Looking at the names of the dishes on the full menu, she really didn't know what to order, so she could only ask the beautiful waitress standing beside her: "What's good to eat here? Can you recommend something?"

  The beautiful waitress didn't know what kind of person Li Yan was, but she also knew that someone who could be invited by her boss with such respect must not be a simple person. She smiled sweetly and said: "Since you two have chosen our Western restaurant, you naturally want to try authentic Western food. We have Australian steak and genuine French cuisine here, both of which are pretty good choices."

  "Alright then, let's go as you said." Lin Xiaoyun smiled and nodded slightly.

  Li Yan naturally respected the lady at first sight, but then added a sentence: "Get a better bottle of red wine, after all, you have to drink some when eating Western food."

  Lin Xiaoyun didn't expect Li Yan to be so formal, and for a moment she felt a bit embarrassed. During the dinner party, Li Yan subtly brought up that he wanted to invite Lin Xiaoyun to be his mother's long-term caregiver. Lin Xiaoyun was somewhat moved, but didn't immediately refuse, only saying that she would think about it carefully.

  Li Yan didn't have the consciousness to force others, but he couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaojun with infinite hope. In fact, he was very much hoping that Lin Xiaojun would agree to his request. After all, during this period of time, they had been together almost every day, and he had come to know Lin Xiaojun quite well - bold and meticulous, good-tempered, diligent in work, and kind-hearted. Before long, he himself would have to go out to search for the hundred-year-old Snow Mountain ginseng.

  If it were decades ago, it might not have been a difficult task, but now on Earth, the ecological environment has suffered extreme damage. Although technology has developed rapidly, the sacrifice is the remaining natural beauty. Now, even hundred-year-old herbs are hard to find, let alone Snow Mountain Ginseng, which requires a special growth environment. Not to mention hundred years, even ten or five years of genuine Snow Mountain Ginseng are rarely seen.

  So, how long it will take is really hard to estimate, it could be as short as three to five months or as long as one and a half years, or even three to five years, so during this period when he's not around, who will take care of his mother is something he has to consider.

  Lin Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, really didn't know whether to agree or not. In the end, she couldn't help but ask out loud: "Mr. Li, do you really have to go this time?"

  "Yes." Li Yan's mouth curled up in a bitter smile. "You also know, I'm a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. For my mother's illness, I have some methods that can wake her up safely and soundly, but I lack one precious medicinal material. So this time, I must go out and find it."

  "Ah?!" Lin Xiaoyun was shocked by the words and asked in a daze: "Aunt's illness, can it really be cured?" Although she was just an intern nurse, she also knew that people like Li Ping, who were deeply vegetative, had no hope of recovery at all. But now Li Yan told her that she could still be saved, which made Lin Xiaoyun wonder how she couldn't be surprised?

  "It can be cured. In fact, I already have some methods now, it's just that in order to increase the grasp, I want to go find that medicinal material." Li Yan sighed and spoke out loud.

  Lin Xiaoyun took a deep breath, as if she had made some major decision, and nodded her head, responding: "Alright then, I agree to this. I hope Mr. Li can find the medicinal herbs he needs as soon as possible."

  "Thank you." Li Yan heard this, and a few satisfied smiles flowed out on his face. As for the Hundred Year Snow Mountain Ginseng, he actually didn't have too much hope in his heart. After all, in this era, such a rare and precious spiritual medicine was probably already extinct. However, he also had other compromise methods.

  Looking at the innocent girl in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly pray: "I just hope to find a wild Snow Mountain ginseng. I'll spend three years cultivating it on the spot and turning it into a hundred-year-old medicinal material... that should be enough..."
