Chapter 545: Reverse Strategy 04

Chen Ning's expression changed, he waved his hand and flicked his sleeve, "Hurry and go call the house doctor and mother!"

Having said that, he quickly walked toward Chen Yu's courtyard.

Originally he thought it was a servant who had been frightened and was speaking nonsense, but when he arrived he realized the situation was far more serious.

Chen Yu removed all his clothing, curled up on the bed trembling, occasionally uttering nonsense, his back covered in dense, strange markings.

His eyes were red and bleeding, his hair fell out in clumps.

The room was filled with things he had smashed.

Chen Ning drew closer and only then heard clearly that he was saying, "I deserve to die," with no other words, just repeating these three characters over and over.

"Yu'er?"

Chen Ning tried to rouse his consciousness, but as soon as he spoke he saw Chen Yu snarling, wanting to bite, with a faint black aura already showing between his brows.

Startled by him, Chen Ning immediately stepped back a few paces, his mind greatly shaken.

If I didn't missee, just now it looked like demonic qi coiling around Chen Yu's body...

"Here I come! Young Master, the house doctor has arrived, and the family head and madam have come too!"

"Oh no, my Yu'er, what happened to you! What is this..."

The madam wept until her face was worn; seeing Chen Yu in pain made her feel even worse.

Chen Ning forced himself to keep his composure, turned and supported his mother who was about to faint from crying.

"Don't worry, let the house doctor examine him carefully first."

He secretly hoped, wishing he had been mistaken.

This younger brother, though a bit foolish, had never associated with demonic cultivators; how could he have demonic qi on him?

"What is going on?"

The family head's tone was unpleasant; he coldly looked at his son struggling on the bed, his eyes full of intense anger.

"How did he make himself look like this ghostly state!"

Chen Ning pressed his palm, calmly said, "I don't know either; Chen Yu was sulking today and thus never left his room."

"This... demonic qi!"

The house doctor couldn't believe his own judgment, yet there was no mistake, and he immediately knelt down, trembling.

"Family head! The second young master's dantian is in turmoil with demonic qi, like the sign of a demonic cultivator suffering deviation!"

"What!"

The family head took two steps forward, ignoring the madam behind him who had fainted from the news, extending his inner strength to probe the inner elixir.

"Demonic qi! What a demonic cultivator!"

He casually picked up an object nearby and hurled it hard at Chen Yu, "I never imagined, my son is actually a demonic cultivator!"

"Roar..."

Chen Yu, struck where it hurt, immediately glared angrily at the person before him, "You also deserve to die! You also deserve to die!"

"Damn thing!"

The family head could not tolerate being provoked; he waved his hand, releasing a powerful surge of inner strength that directly knocked the still-trembling Chen Yu unconscious, sending him crashing to the floor beside the bed.

Like a pile of rotting meat lying on the ground.

Chen Ning's face was tense, his Adam's apple bobbing, yet he did not intervene.

He could not stop it, for even if it had nothing to do with him, his father would surely bear a grudge.

He had clearly inherited the family head's true teachings; a glance between father and son let Chen Ning know what his father intended him to do.

Perhaps the most suitable method now is... to let Chen Yu die silently.

Then eradicate all the servants who know of this matter, root and branch.

Regardless of whether Chen Yu is truly a demonic cultivator, which remains to be investigated, under no circumstances can the news be leaked.

Even if he is a younger brother by blood, he cannot stop the engagement with the Slayer Demon Sect.

"Someone, take the mother down to rest."

After the family head left in anger, Chen Ning's expression grew calm, and he orderly instructed trustworthy people to clean up the scene.

"Doctor Chun, you have worked hard today."

Chen Yu glanced at the newly hired house doctor, his tone ambiguous.

The latter, sweating profusely, said, "No hardship, no hardship; I have been sleeping indoors all night, what hardship is there?"

He showed a slight smile, "Then go back to continue sleeping."

Thinking he had escaped disaster, the house doctor let out a long breath, picked up his box, and headed out.

Chen Yu glanced at the hidden guards outside the window, giving a signal toward the door.

The leaves outside the window trembled.

After the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, news spread through the manor.

The second young master, Chen Yu, suddenly fell ill, and was also harmed by a house doctor who had infiltrated the Chen family disguised as a demonic cultivator, ultimately dying miserably.

The demonic cultivator was also slain by the arriving eldest young master, his body still entwined with lingering demonic qi that could not disperse.

The Slayer Demon Sect expressed deep sorrow over this, and boasted praising their future young master's partner as having fiery eyes and golden pupils, skilled in martial arts, taking the righteous path as their duty.

Here, Chenshu was pushed into the barrier; looking back, everything outside the barrier became blurred, as if only the ruined courtyard behind the mountain remained between heaven and earth.

Although it is a dilapidated courtyard, it is still much better than the original host's living conditions.

Thinking that he would soon see Jin Chen, Chenshu lowered his gaze to examine his own clothing and wounds.

He also pinched a few visible wounds on his arm.

Bai Ze: 【...】

The awakened 0731 was greatly shocked; this couple is full of eight hundred scheming thoughts!

Just after finishing pinching the wound, Chenshu was about to first look for the location sealing the Yao King when he sensed a probing, spying divine sense.

It was Jin Chen's divine sense.

His starry eyes flickered slightly; he pretended to be lost, walking in the direction of the divine sense while sniffling and crying, the corners of his eyes reddened, looking pitiful.

Following the divine sense, Chenshu accurately found a residence overflowing with demonic aura.

At this time the sky was dark, the moonlight couldn't penetrate the barrier; if following the original body's lack of interior setting, he should now be unable to see anything clearly.

So Chenshu cautiously reached out to feel the way ahead, stopping every three steps, and finally, under the divine sense's gaze, stumbled to the center of the room.

The decor here was exquisite, except that dust covered everywhere; only the handsome man lying on the jade bed in the center stood out starkly from the surroundings.

The man had an alluring appearance, his head of silver hair disheveled and spread beside the bed, falling on his shoulders; he wore a scarlet gauze robe, and possessed an indescribable splendor.

Nine-tailed Fox Yao King, leader of the Yao realm.

【Detected target mission, current Strategy Value: 0】 Bai Ze moved 0731 on the ground a bit, and the latter persistently tried to cling onto him.

Chenshu secretly thought that the Slay Demon Sect was quite cautious, having even moved the bed and the person over.

No wonder the original body's miserable state in the original plot; it turns out Jin Chen's divine sense never slept, always watching inside the barrier.

He seemed to finally see a human like himself; the tense string snapped, and he sobbed while squatting beside the jade bed.

Then he started to play the victim, meanwhile clearing his relationship with those outsiders.

"Wuuu… Father deceived me."

"They said there was an opportunity behind the mountain, but actually they just wanted to leave me to fend for myself."

"Wuuu… Someone like me, a piece of trash, being despised is only fitting."

"Wuuu…"

The divine sense, hearing the crying, became quite annoyed, returned to the body and suddenly opened its eyes.

"No crying."

A slightly eerie, icy voice came from, startling Chenshu to shudder as he looked uncertainly at the man sitting up on the jade bed.
