Chapter 29: My Dao Heart Shattered

That's good, that's good— as long as my daughter is alright, that's good.

An Yu's mother said, still feeling uneasy.

I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine for your daughter; once she finishes them, her illness will be mostly cured.

After the master finished speaking, An Yu's mother quickly nodded. 'Good, good, good, I'll do exactly as the master said.'

They said this as they slowly walked out of An Yu's room.

After Ye Chen learned they had left An Yu's room, he went again to Little An Yu's room; to prevent ill‑intentioned people from harming Little An Yu again, he decided to set up a small formation for An Yu.

The system had earlier given him expertise in formations; he set up a formation to prevent evil spirits from invading his body again, and also set up a small offensive formation.

If anyone intends to harm Little An Yu, this offensive formation will be instantly activated; the person who means harm to Little An Yu, even if they don't die, will at least lose a layer of skin.

After Ye Chen finished doing these things, he then left An Yu's room; not long after he left, An Yu slowly opened her eyes, her small eyes full of doubt.

'Strange, I had a dream; I seemed to have dreamed of Brother Ye Chen, as if he had come...'

At this moment, Ye Chen had already set out on the road home; this time he didn't walk on the road but ran swiftly on the rooftop; he himself is not tall, so even running like this, no one noticed him.

When Ye Chen arrived downstairs at his residential compound, Lin Ruoxi and the others had already finished dinner, and the paper person Ye Chen had also returned to his room—of course, this was at Ye Chen's direction.

Ye Chen leapt up and quickly entered the room; he didn't want to fly, he hadn't yet adapted to flying—rather, he hadn't adapted to flying over the city, his divine sense couldn't shield so many people at once, making him easily detected.

After Ye Chen returned to the room, he was suddenly startled by the paper person Ye Chen.

At this moment, the paper person Ye Chen was looking at him pitifully; Ye Chen seeing his appearance felt a bit puzzled, but then he noticed the paper person Ye Chen's abdomen, the grease and oil there, plus the food he had eaten tonight.

Seeing this, Ye Chen instantly understood what was going on.

'Damn, forget about this; a paper person is always a paper person—with my current strength I still can't free a paper person from the influence of water, oil, and ordinary food.'

Ye Chen muttered to himself; at this moment, the paper person's gaze toward him seemed to say: 'You finally know.'

The paper person Ye Chen had a look of wanting to cry but without tears.

'Don't rush; once I reach the fifteenth level of Qi Refining, I'll properly remodel you—after all, you're really convenient to use.'

Upon hearing Ye Chen say he would remodel him, the paper person Ye Chen immediately burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly: 'I'll first help you digest that food.'

Ye Chen said, and began to refine the food inside the paper person Ye Chen's abdomen.

Not long after, Ye Chen finished refining the food in the paper person Ye Chen's abdomen; after finishing refining the food in the paper person Ye Chen's abdomen, Ye Chen let him revert to a paper person.

After finishing these things, Ye Chen began to learn hacking techniques; after an hour and a half, he was very confident, having already stood at the pinnacle of hacking technology in this world—this is the terrifying learning ability of cultivators.

'Now we can start looking for Bai Lingling's father—Bai Chi.'

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he only then realized he had no computer...

It's already past nine; if he goes out now, he'll inevitably get a scolding from Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan.

'Let's go again in the middle of the night.'

After Ye Chen said that in his heart, he began to cultivate; this situation continued until midnight, and at 2 a. m. Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes: 'It's time to act.'

Ye Chen released his divine sense, masking the six senses of Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan; he did this to prevent Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan from suddenly waking up in the middle of the night—better safe than sorry.

Ye Chen went to Ye Nan's gaming room, turned on the computer, and began searching.

His goal was clear: to head straight for the psychiatric hospital that had previously detained Bai Chi; Bai Chi's psychiatric hospital is easy to find, because given the magnitude of the incident back then, there would certainly have been reports about which hospital he was in.

Thus, after Ye Chen found out which psychiatric hospital Bai Chi was in, he immediately took action, hacked into the hospital's records office, and found Bai Chi's files.

After finishing the search, Ye Chen learned Bai Chi's basic information: he had first left the psychiatric hospital three years ago, then drifted about homeless; later, Bai Chi attempted to rape a girl but failed, and, citing his mental illness, returned to the psychiatric hospital.

His most recent departure was half a year ago, and the job arranged for him was as a milk tea shop employee—and the location was precisely Dachang City!

'Really, having worn out iron shoes to find nothing, it comes easily without effort.'

'Although Dachang City has many milk tea shops, since Bai Chi is in Dachang City, we need not fear not being able to find him.'

Ye Chen said while looking at the computer screen.

Just as he was about to log off, he suddenly noticed someone attacking him; Ye Chen saw this, frowned slightly, because the opponent wasn't showing strong aggression—rather, it seemed they wanted to spar with him.

'If that's the case, then I'll grant you your wish.'

Ye Chen stretched, sat before the computer, and began a passionate showdown with that completely unknown person on the other side; what Ye Chen didn't know was that opposite him, a girl with a lollipop in her mouth and a stern face was rapidly pounding the keyboard.

'Damn it, damn it, this is so infuriating! I just wanted to compete with him, but he's trying to wreck my computer!'

This girl looks about eighteen, but her hacking skills are superb; if it weren't for Ye Chen, she would hardly have any rivals.

At this moment, the two people sitting before their computers simultaneously had the same doubt arise, and they both exclaimed profanity at the same time.

'Damn, who is that opponent? They can actually fight me to a standstill!'

'I learned my hacking skills through divine sense!'

'I am a one‑in‑a‑million hacking genius!'

Both shouted at their computers in unison, each showing a spirit of refusing to lose.

'I'll stake my reputation on it—I cannot lose!'

Although the two had never met and didn't know each other, they nevertheless said those words in unison.

Both were die‑hard arguers, and they fought like this until dawn; at daybreak they could no longer hold back, and once again shouted at their computers in unison: 'Just who the heck is this guy!'

Since Ye Chen still had to go to kindergarten, he voluntarily proposed ending the battle and sent a cutting remark.

'I admit you're strong, but I have to go to class.'

After Ye Chen sent that, he directly shut down the computer, without waiting for any reply from the other side.

Upon seeing that, the girl on the other side instantly froze in place: 'He's still just a child! My Dao Heart—gone! Completely gone! Shattered!'
