In Ye Luo’s heart, disregarding everything else, just this medicinal herb field alone made the estate worth far more than its price!

In truth, medicinal herbs were incredibly useful for Ye Luo.

Never forget, Ye Luo’s true profession was being a doctor!

Although in the Martial Realm, limited by his strength, Ye Luo seldom displayed his medical skills, this did not mean Ye Luo had abandoned them. If he could find the right inheritance of medical knowledge or acquire enough Spiritual Medicine to conduct research, his medical expertise could certainly shine again!

You must understand, in the Martial Realm, Alchemists were essentially what one would call doctors.

If Ye Luo could combine his medical skills with alchemy, it would provide immense help to him!

Therefore, the significance of this herb field to Ye Luo was beyond imagination.

Perhaps Ye Luo could buy ready-made Spiritual Medicine elsewhere, but such herbs would not be of much use to him!

To harmonize his medical skills, to make them shine brightly again, it was inevitable that Ye Luo first needed to understand the pharmacology of these Spiritual Medicines in the Martial Realm.

And compared to harvested herbs, growing ones would naturally allow Ye Luo to better study and grasp their properties.

After all, the Martial Realm was not Earth, and the Spiritual Medicines here were nearly all types Ye Luo had never encountered before.

A clever housewife cannot cook without rice, and even a Divine Doctor cannot concoct medicine with herbs they do not understand!

This was one of the primary reasons why Ye Luo’s medical expertise was difficult to apply in the Martial Realm. But now, such an opportunity was right in front of him. If he could acquire this herb field, it was certain that by cultivating these Spiritual Medicines, he could learn their pharmacology and once again allow his skills to perform at their full potential like they once did on Earth, giving him immense support.

In other words, Ye Luo was extremely satisfied with this estate.

And so, Ye Luo directly asked, "Tell me the price—what are you planning to sell this estate for?"

No matter how good something was, Ye Luo first needed to ensure he could buy it.

Ye Luo believed that such a fine estate would definitely not come cheap.

Just as the steward was about to answer, a roar suddenly echoed.

"Who dares to sell my mother’s home?!"

The voice was loud and brimming with fury! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng both turned around.

They saw a young man rushing toward them in the distance. The youth appeared to be no older than sixteen or seventeen, but his face was full of rage at this moment.

"Seventh Young Master, why... why are you here?"

The steward asked in utter surprise.

"Who? Whose idea was this? Why is my mother’s estate being sold off?"

The young man looked at the steward, his expression agitated.

"Seventh Young Master, please calm down. This is the Family Head’s order—I am merely carrying out the Family Head’s instructions!"

"Father? Impossible! Father would never sell mother’s estate. You dog of a servant, are you trying to deceive me? Tell me who came up with this idea? Was it Third Uncle?!"

...

Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng silently observed the young man and the steward.

As much as Ye Luo liked this estate, he was not the type to resort to coercion.

"Seventh Young Master, this truly is the Family Head’s order. I am simply following instructions,"

The steward said helplessly, trying to reason with the young master. However, there was no way the young man would listen.

This young man had always valued this estate highly. Now, seeing someone attempting to sell it, he immediately refused to accept it.

"You lot! What are you looking at? I’m talking about you. Get out of here! How dare you even think about my mother’s estate? No matter who you are, you’d better beware—I’ll take your dog life if you try me!"

This Seventh Young Master turned and shouted angrily at Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng.

To Ye Luo, this person’s desire to protect his mother’s estate wasn’t wrong in itself. However, that didn’t give him the right to insult others.

Ye Luo frowned slightly. If not for the fact that this lad seemed to miss his mother dearly and was still so young, Ye Luo would have already made him kneel and apologize for such words!

However, Yun Liancheng couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Brat, watch your tongue! Whether we buy the estate or not is one thing, but publicly insulting us like this won’t slide. If you don’t give us an explanation today, I’ll gladly teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"

Yun Liancheng’s roar frightened the Seventh Young Master so much he jumped.

Even though this Seventh Young Master was ranked low in his family and possessed average strength, as a young master of a great household, he had never been yelled at like this before.

Besides, in the Seventh Young Master’s eyes, Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng were nobody worth taking seriously. Hearing Yun Liancheng’s words now only made him angrier.

"You—you dare yell at me?! Damn you, how dare you yell at me? None of you are leaving this estate today!"

"Guards! Why are you still standing there? Arrest them!"

At the Seventh Young Master’s command, dozens of guards immediately emerged from the shadows.

These guards had concealed themselves well—Ye Luo hadn’t even noticed them.

After all, this was the estate of the Seventh Young Master’s mother. These people were deeply loyal to him and, upon hearing his orders, surrounded Ye Luo and the others without hesitation.

Even the steward’s attempts to intervene were futile.

Meanwhile, the guards accompanying Yun Liancheng immediately stepped forward to shield him. A fight was about to break out.

Ye Luo furrowed his brows slightly. In truth, the youth’s determination to protect his mother’s possession was understandable, but his arrogant, spoiled demeanor was too overbearing. The fact that his mother’s estate had been put up for sale already suggested his low standing within the family.

In many ways, he was a pitiful figure.

But being pitiful didn’t justify his behavior. Trying to bully those weaker while fearing those stronger was unacceptable.

"Kid, are you sure you want to fight us?"

Ye Luo asked calmly, staring at the youth.

The Seventh Young Master, still fuming, didn’t care what Ye Luo said.

"Hmph! Fight you? You bet I will. What, are you unhappy about it?"

Ye Luo shook his head. As the saying goes, ’The pitiable often harbor something contemptible.’ At times, Ye Luo couldn’t help but agree with this sentiment.

This young man couldn’t even protect his mother’s estate. Had he never stopped to think about why?

Ye Luo had heard bits and pieces about this family from Yun Liancheng. Although their rank wasn’t very high, they were notably wealthy. Typically, they wouldn’t need to sell off estates for cash.

Thus, there was only one plausible explanation: the Seventh Young Master wasn’t well-regarded within his family.

Ye Luo didn’t originally plan to involve himself, but he ultimately decided to step in. He needed to teach this young man a lesson—he had to learn that throwing tantrums and acting out wouldn’t solve anything and would only attract trouble!

"Swoosh!"

Ye Luo’s figure blurred for a moment, and in an instant, he bypassed the encircling guards and appeared directly in front of the young man.
