Chapter 28: An Yu's Illness
Looks like I need to find a chance to check it out; this kind of thing can't be delayed too long, the harm evil spirits do to ordinary people is still too great.
Ye Chen said in his heart.
Should I give the old man a call?
Ye Chen thought about it, but in the end he still didn't go find Lin Jingxue to call.
He still didn't call Ye Nan; he decided to let Zhi Ren Ye Chen go home with Ye Nan first, then he would go to An Yu's house, that way neither side would be neglected.
After school, Ye Chen let Zhi Ren Ye Chen go home with Ye Nan first, while he went to An Yu's house; as his strength increased, Zhi Ren Ye Chen's strength also increased, now it has reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
At that strength, Zhi Ren Ye Chen is hardly distinguishable from an ordinary person; Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi can hardly notice it, unless it suffers a fatal injury.
After leaving kindergarten, Ye Chen headed straight for An Yu's house; earlier he had noted An Yu's address from Lin Jingxue's record of parents' phone numbers, so he knew the address.
Because kindergarten kids know few characters, Lin Jingxue originally didn't take precautions, but after Ye Chen last time read her chat records, she started guarding.
But if Ye Chen wants to look, Lin Jingxue can't stop him, because Ye Chen also has divine sense with him, which can acquire information silently; it's practically indefensible.
After leaving kindergarten, Ye Chen originally thought he could smoothly reach An Yu's house, but plans often fail to keep up with changes, and an accident occurred midway.
"Little kid, whose child are you? Why aren't you home yet?"
A female university student stood beside Ye Chen; as for why one would guess she's a female university student, it's because of her clear and adorably innocent eyes—at a glance you can tell she's definitely a university student.
Looking at her eyes, Ye Chen could basically tell that this female university student is the type who gets sold out and still has to pay people money.
"I came out to buy something; I'll be back soon."
Ye Chen said.
He originally thought that after he said that, the female university student would ignore him, but he still underestimated her enthusiasm.
"A child trafficking case just appeared recently; I'll still escort you home."
Ye Chen: "??"
"That won't do; I'm not going to my own house, and my home is far from here—taking a vehicle takes half an hour. If you escort me home, you'll end up making your legs lame."
Ye Chen thought to himself, he looked at the female university student and said: "Sis, really no need, I'll be home soon, you go first."
"No, no, I need to see you home before I can rest easy."
Upon hearing her words, Ye Chen felt utterly helpless.
"How can your sense of responsibility be so strong?"
This world still has more kind-hearted people, but someone as kind-hearted as Ye Chen faces is truly rare.
Ye Chen had no choice but to employ a little trick.
He caused a moment of dizziness in the female university student's consciousness, and taking advantage of that gap, he quickly fled the scene.
By the time that female university student reacted, Ye Chen had already left.
The female university student looked around in confusion, saying, "I remember there was a little kid here just now; where did he go?"
The female university student didn't know that, precisely because of her enthusiasm this time, Ye Chen thereafter would travel without walking on roads—if he could fly, he'd fly; if he could travel on rooftops, he'd absolutely not walk on roads.
About ten minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at An Yu's front gate; he didn't choose to enter through the main door, because he was coming secretly, and if the people in An Yu's household found out, it would be hard to explain.
At that moment, Ye Chen looked at An Yu's villa, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Such heavy yin and evil energy—looks like someone intends to harm the An family."
An Yu's father is a successful businessman; on this road to success, he inevitably makes some enemies, and these people aren't short of money—what they lack is the means to kill their opponents.
Following the scent, he found An Yu's room, leapt up through the window, entered her room, and saw it filled with stuffed dolls, plus it was decorated in pink, which An Yu likes—showing how much her parents dote on her.
When Ye Chen entered An Yu's room, he found her unconscious, with black qi swirling around her; within three days she will surely die.
Fortunately Ye Chen discovered this; otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. He currently lacks a means to disregard rules and directly revive a person, so if he only found out three days later, even he couldn't save An Yu.
"Master, please, you must save my daughter—I only have this one daughter; no matter what price I have to pay, I'm willing to accept it."
Ye Chen's six senses are sharp; he heard the woman's voice downstairs, which should be An Yu's mother. At this moment she is begging a Daoist; in Ye Chen's perception, that Daoist indeed has some ability, but cannot resolve An Yu's trouble.
Ye Chen looked at An Yu; deep wrinkles furrowed her small face.
"This force is very similar to that of Huang Yan and the person who attacked me last night; this also means it's all the work of the Northern Sect."
Ye Chen thought, continuously channeling spiritual power into An Yu; at the moment his power entered her body, the black qi trembled violently.
They seemed to want to resist, yet also to flee, but under Ye Chen's power they had nowhere to escape; accompanied by a series of "sizzle-sizzle" sounds, the black qi dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Only after those black qi had completely dissipated did Ye Chen let out a breath.
At that moment he looked at An Yu's sachet; the sachet was fragrant, but to Ye Chen's smell it was extremely foul.
"Looks like this is the thing."
A flame instantly ignited in Ye Chen's hand; the sachet quickly burned in his hand, and soon it was reduced to ashes.
"Using the sachet as a disguise, placing the impure-turned-spiritual object inside—this was calculated knowing a child's curiosity, certain that An Yu would definitely open the sachet and release the impure-turned-spiritual object inside; what a vicious heart, not even sparing such a young child!"
Ye Chen thought, and the more he thought, the angrier he became.
"Northern Sect, I will sooner or later destroy you—a bunch of scumbags rotten to the core."
At that moment, An Yu's mother brought that master upstairs; Ye Chen heard the movement, flipped out the window, and didn't notice that as he left, An Yu's brow twitched slightly.
Not long after he had just jumped down from the building, An Yu's mother brought the master and opened An Yu's room.
"Master, I entrust my daughter to you."
An Yu's mother said with a worried face.
"No problem; let me examine the young lady's condition, prescribe the right remedy, and I will surely be able to cure her illness."
Ye Chen heard the conversation between An Yu's mother and the master, and smiled without speaking.
"This An Yu's mother is also smart; she knows An Yu isn't just having a cold."
But at this moment, the master in the room frowned tightly, continuously making a "hiss" sound, which made An Yu's mother beside him feel extremely nervous.
"How is it, master?"
An Yu's mother asked; after her words fell, the master finally turned his head and said to An Yu's mother: "Your daughter's body is extremely healthy, there's no serious problem—just a bit weak; she just needs to rest more."
This is naturally a symptom Ye Chen deliberately left behind; otherwise, after this master said the body was completely fine, An Yu's parents would very likely seek another opinion on An Yu, which would very possibly give an opening to those with ulterior motives.
