Chapter 73: Liu Qingtian

Liu Qingtian did not ask about Ye Bai's experiences during the day.

Because he had long guessed that the Evil Spirit went to kill Ye Bai.

This conjecture was thoroughly confirmed after Ye Bai took out the Soul Crystal!

How could Ye Bai's expression not change?

He had always thought that his encounter with the Evil Spirit was just an accident!

His gaze also shifted incessantly.

In an instant, he thought of many, many things!

"So, the reason Qin Ayi was poisoned wasn't because of her true identity as the legitimate daughter of some great family?"

"But because of me?"

Without waiting for Liu Qingtian to speak again, Ye Bai vaguely had a guess, and his expression was incomparably ugly.

He had previously thought Qin Churan's true identity was as cliché as those in novels from his previous life—the legitimate daughter of some great family who had been lost, only to be found by some brother or sister, which led to the poisoning incident by Xue Yi.

Now, he subconsciously felt that all of Qin Churan's suffering had come because of him...

"Yes, and no."

"To be accurate, you were both targets; it's just that before, you were disguised too well."

Liu Qingtian's gaze flashed as he spoke.

"Phew." Ye Bai realized that he had indeed protected Qin Churan, and the negative emotions that had just arisen finally dissipated.

"Old Liu, can you tell me why?"

Ye Bai then asked in confusion; he could not understand who would want to put him and Qin Churan to death.

"Little Friend Ye, this old man has not yet found the specific reason for the time being.

In fact, if you hadn't already encountered life-threatening danger, this old man wouldn't have intended to tell you about this matter now."

Liu Qingtian shook his head.

"Then, do you know who wants to kill me?"

Ye Bai retreated to the next best option.

Killing intent flickered in his eyes!

Clearly, the first treatment for Qin Churan was to begin tonight.

Clearly, after today, he and Qin Churan were to begin a brand-new life.

And yet, someone wanted them dead!

"I know, but believe this old man, Little Friend Ye, you would not want to know."

"To be honest, this old man sought you out this time just to have you, Little Friend Ye, promise not to go outside the city to hunt for a long time to come."

Liu Qingtian let out a long, slow sigh.

"I am too weak, is that it?" Ye Bai gave a bitter smile, having guessed the reason.

He even vaguely suspected that the enemy was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

That elusive City Lord? Or some Grandmaster Realm powerhouse?

Or perhaps, someone even stronger?

"Many thanks, Old Liu."

However, he accepted the facts.

Liu Qingtian had already said enough.

What he needed to do now was very simple: become stronger, become stronger, and become stronger still!

No longer just for a better life, but even more so to resolve the sword hanging over his head at every moment!

"Little Friend Ye, you also need not worry too much.

Just remember what this old man said and do not go outside the city to hunt recently."

"The Genius Camp is a good place to go, and so is a Martial University; if possible, this old man hopes you can get into a good Martial University."

Then, his conversation with Liu Qingtian ended.

Liu Qingtian waved his hand to send him back, and the voice of the old man echoing in his ears during that time proved that the enemy was indeed very strong.

Liu Qingtian alone, or rather the Jiangcheng Dragon Guard, could not protect Ye Bai and Qin Churan...

The Dragon Guard plus the Genius Camp—that is, the background of the Jiangcheng Military Department—was perhaps the reason why Ye Bai and Qin Churan would be safe as long as he did not leave the city.

The Dragon Guard plus a good Martial University would be able to protect him when he went outside the city to hunt!

Therefore, he had a definite goal.

Not only was he going to the Genius Camp tomorrow, but he had to earn a ranking—preferably first place!

And then, get into the best Martial University!

"Magic City Martial Arts University..."

The first thing Ye Bai thought of was Li Qingqing's Magic City Martial Arts University.

After learning that Li Qingqing had been specially admitted, he had thought about whether he should go to Magic City Martial Arts University together with her.

At first, he didn't want to attend a Martial University, just feeling that he had the system by his side.

But thinking about it carefully, there were indeed benefits; he could obtain more resources and also prepare in advance for every grade advancement.

"It's just that I owe Old Liu another favor..."

The only thing that made him feel helpless was that his agreement to join the Genius Camp was originally to repay Liu Qingtian's care.

In the end, he owed even more...

Night, ten o'clock!

First Hospital!

The red light outside the operating room lit up.

"Qingqing, trust Jiang Doctor, Qin Ayi will definitely recover!"

Outside the operating room, Ye Bai held Li Qingqing's hand tightly.

"Dummy," Li Qingqing couldn't help but say.

Yet it was Ye Bai who was more nervous than Li Qingqing.

As a result, Ye Bai ended up comforting her instead...

Qin Churan's treatment officially began!

Ye Bai and Li Qingqing said goodbye to Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao shortly after seven o'clock.

Before leaving, Ye Bai found the Dingsheng hotel manager and asked them to arrange a Heaven on Earth style private room for Huang Weiguo and the other.

Then Ye Bai went to the Treasure Pavilion to sell all his spoils.

Because of the 10 Merit Points Ye Bai gifted, the Treasure Pavilion could already conduct business for Fourth Grade Martial Artists!

Wang Fugui had been busy all day because of this.

He hadn't even seen the announcement issued by the Dragon Guard, and only learned afterwards that Ye Bai had nearly met with an accident.

"Little Ye, I'm truly sorry, Uncle was too busy and couldn't go to the city gate to pick you up. There are thirty million in this card; twenty million is the payment for the Merit Points, and the remaining ten million is a small token of Uncle's appreciation!"

"Not only that, from now on, whenever you sell anything at the Treasure Pavilion, the price will be raised by 20%! And you'll get a 20% discount when buying things too!"

This was what Wang Fugui had said at the time.

He had prepared the payment and gifts for Ye Bai in advance, and the Merit Points were calculated at the highest price.

"Uncle, the discount is fine, but let's forget about this money!"

"Xiao Pang has helped me so much; these ten Merit Points are a gift I'm giving to Xiao Pang!"

However, Ye Bai refused the money Wang Fugui offered without hesitation.

"How can that be? Xiao Pang only helped you with a small favor, but the value of ten Merit Points..." Wang Fugui's expression grew anxious.

"Uncle, what Xiao Pang helped me with was no small favor!"

Ye Bai said to Wang Fugui with a serious expression!

"Well, alright then..."

Wang Fugui had no choice, and finally muttered in a low voice: "I'm getting old; Xiao Pang is still smarter, knowing to prepare other gifts..."

"That thing, Little Ye will surely like it, right?"

However, because Ye Bai's thoughts had already flown away, he didn't hear Wang Fugui's low mutterings and hurried back to the First Hospital with the ten million.

Ten million—that was his total balance after selling all his spoils from today, plus all the Condensing Qi Pills!

A single Evil Spirit had gifted Ye Bai one million!

Plus a day of hunting, he had gained over another million Great Xia Currency!

His daily income was nearly three million!

Not only had he gathered enough for Qin Churan's medical expenses, he even had two million extra!

Ye Bai had already made up his mind.

He would definitely have to go to the Genius Camp early tomorrow morning.

But he could arrange for an agent to look at houses and cars in the evening.

Tomorrow, he would buy a house and a car for Qin Churan!

He would let this person, who had taken care of him for twelve years and more, live a good life!

"Beep, beep..."

Not long after, a sound rang out from inside the operating room...
