Chapter 19: Shattered Ye Nan

Ye Chen watched Bai Lingling lightly nod, and said: "I'll go first, you wait here for me, don't run around, I'll be back at most in a week."

Okay!

Bai Lingling watched Ye Chen nod heavily, looking very obedient.

Seeing Bai Lingling nod, Ye Chen quickly left the Gui Wu, and after seeing Ye Chen leave, Bai Lingling's figure slowly disappeared within the Gui Wu.

After Ye Chen left, the surveillance in Gui Wu returned to normal.

【The host is simply like a cow flying on a plane, awesome to the heavens, actually subdued a fierce ghost! This is simply a miracle one dare not even imagine!】

【To reward the host for such bravery, three cultivation levels are hereby increased, and the formation technique is rewarded with minor success; current cultivation——Qi Refining Eleventh Layer!】

……

At this moment, a maintenance worker of Gui Wu stepped into Gui Wu; as soon as he entered, he was suddenly called to stop, and news came from the communicator that the camera had returned to normal.

The Gui Wu personnel responsible for repairing the camera couldn't help but burst out cursing: "Damn it, what ghostly thing, works one moment, fails the next, pissing me off!"

When the Gui Wu personnel said the word "ghost," Bai Lingling suddenly darted out.

"Ghost? Am I not a ghost myself?"

Bai Lingling came beside the Gui Wu maintenance worker and said, "Hey, uncle uncle, what do you want me to do?"

However, Bai Lingling seemed to have forgotten again that ordinary people cannot see her at all.

"Hmph, uncle ignores me, I'm leaving!"

Bai Lingling said to herself and dove into a wall.

Meanwhile, the Gui Wu maintenance worker only felt a chill.

"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so cold?"

The Gui Wu maintenance worker rubbed his body and walked out of Gui Wu.

After leaving Gui Wu, he still couldn't help but mutter two sentences: "This place, there's something weird about it."

……

At this moment, Ye Chen had already left Gui Wu and was heading to where Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi were; along the way, he kept thinking about a question.

"Ghosts truly exist, and her cultivation is also at the peak of Qi Refining First Layer; this proves that this world is not completely devoid of cultivators."

"It's just possibly not that strong, which means that in this world, ancient secret techniques might truly exist!"

Ye Chen thought of this and couldn't help but become excited, but he suddenly realized a problem.

If there really are ancient secret techniques and such, wouldn't their effects still have to be listened to the system?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen shook his head violently: "I already have a system, why think so much? The rewards the system has given me are already enough for me to use for a long time."

Ye Chen said in his heart, unknowingly already behind Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi, but he didn't rush forward because his mind was still thinking about his own cultivation.

"My current cultivation is Qi Refining Eleventh Layer; if the system hadn't just rewarded three layers, I would be at Eighth Layer."

"Eleventh Layer is enough for me to do many things; my divine sense range has expanded again, and I can fly too—except that this heaven and earth seems suppressed by the Dao, so I cannot fly very high."

Ye Chen thought in his heart, and suddenly he raised his head to look at the sky.

"If not violating the Dao principles here, the maximum flight distance seems to be the highest distance birds can fly, excluding machinery."

Ye Chen stroked his chin, thinking in his heart.

"Maybe I can find a chance to try, but with my current strength, I should be able to fly at most three hundred meters; any higher, and the Dao will suppress me."

Regarding this, Ye Chen felt strange; he didn't understand why the heavenly Dao of this world suppresses cultivators so harshly.

Ye Chen thought for a while, couldn't figure it out, so he lightly shook his head and patted his own cheek.

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it; my little head is tired."

Ye Chen said, walking toward where Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan were; at this moment, they were actually playing with a little child, and even more absurdly, Ye Nan had made the child cry.

The people around them looked at him with the gaze of someone looking at a kidnapper……

Moreover, on some people's phone screens, there was literally "Yaoyao Ling," and they had already prepared to report the police at any moment.

Ye Chen sensed this, and the corner of his mouth finally twitched involuntarily.

"Old geezer…… you really do things in a bizarre way……"

Ye Chen walked toward them; before that, he also made a smartwatch call.

If he had contacted them directly without prior communication, that would indeed be too much; to put it bluntly, it's "no act at all."

After finishing the call, Ye Chen quickly rushed toward them.

When he arrived, the child's parents had already taken the child away; Ye Nan, to express apology, also bought an ice cream to compensate the child.

Ye Chen helplessly shook his head, pretending to know nothing, and walked toward Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan.

Lin Ruoxi saw Ye Chen and immediately kept away from Ye Nan as if avoiding a plague god.

Ye Nan saw this and felt as if his heart were about to break.

"Honey……"

"I don't know you; stay away from me."

Lin Ruoxi said mercilessly.

Ye Nan instantly froze in place.

Ye Chen saw this and felt that he only needed to lightly pat Ye Nan, and he would completely shatter.

But the question still needed to be asked, so he asked: "Mom, what happened?"

Lin Ruoxi heard Ye Chen's words, snorted unhappily, and began to tell Ye Chen about this matter.

After Ye Chen finished listening, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.

Specifically, Ye Nan combined his own experience in Gui Wu, embellished it, and told it to the little child, saying he had almost been frightened to faint in Gui Wu.

He had thought he would make the child laugh heartily, but he didn't expect that after listening, the child's eyes welled with tears, as if they would spill at any moment; obviously, Ye Nan's words had frightened the child.

Lin Ruoxi wasn't not trying to stop him; it's just that, judging from the current situation, she hasn't succeeded.

And after the little child showed a look of grievance, the people around stared at them with a strange gaze; Lin Ruoxi, looking at their eyes, felt only ill at ease all over.

But she couldn't leave, so she had to awkwardly stay with Ye Nan.

Fortunately, the child's parent soon returned; seeing her child crying, she looked puzzled but didn't ask further, merely thanked Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi before leaving.

It turned out she had gone to the bathroom because of an urgent need, so she asked Lin Ruoxi and Ye Chen to look after the child for a bit, but the "looking after" led to a little "accident".

"Ye Chen, let's go, we won't be together with this eyesore."

Lin Ruoxi said to Ye Chen, and after speaking she didn't even glance at Ye Nan before walking away elsewhere.

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Nan; Ye Nan's face showed a look of utter hopelessness, as if he had really shattered.

Seeing this, Ye Chen helplessly shook his head, turned and followed Lin Ruoxi.

At this moment, only Ye Nan remained in place, disheveled in the wind.
