Chapter 143

~7 min read 1,384 words

The group arrived in the valley; the surrounding air was excellent and refreshing.

In the center of the valley was a lake named Youlan Lake, and beside the lake were a few wooden houses, which were extremely elegant.

At this moment, an old man was standing in front of the door of a wooden house, watching the group.

"Grandfather!" Luo Yao was extremely joyful and hurriedly rushed toward the old man.

Chen Fan and his group did not dare to be careless. Knowing that the old man in front of them was the person they were looking for, they hurried forward a few steps and offered their greetings one after another.

Mo Yichen ignored the group, instead stroking Luo Yao's little head with doting eyes.

"Yaoyao, why are you back?"

Luo Yao remembered her experience at Kun University, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore: "Grandfather, I will stay with you in Youlan Valley from now on and won't go anywhere else."

"Who made you suffer?" Mo Yichen's expression froze, and killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Luo Yao told the old man about her experience at Kun University. After hearing it, Mo Yichen's anger rose from his heart.

"In a while, Grandfather will accompany you to Kun University. I want to find their dean and have a word with him face to face."

"Forget it, Grandfather." Luo Yao was kind-hearted after all.

After Mo Yichen's anger subsided, he looked at Chen Fan and the others and said, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Fan hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Senior Mo, we want you to save our teacher."

Chen Fan hurriedly organized his words to state their purpose.

"Oh?" Mo Yichen's face, however, did not show the slightest emotion: "Do you know my rules?"

The expressions of Chen Fan and the others stiffened. The so-called rule was to provide the heart of a seventh-rank Grandmaster for an equivalent exchange.

"Senior Mo, saving a person is like fighting a fire; time is urgent. We really have no way to obtain the heart of a Grandmaster powerhouse, but in the future, I will definitely return a fresh heart to you."

It was Du Huajun who spoke.

At this moment, his face was extremely urgent, filled with pleading.

"Then come back to find me when you have it!" Mo Yichen snorted coldly and was about to drive them away.

"Grandfather!" Luo Yao hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Mo Yichen's gaze fell on Wen Hua, who had just regained consciousness, and he said indifferently: "It's not impossible for me to save someone, let this kid stay!"

"This..." Everyone's expressions turned ugly.

"Senior, you..." Wen Hua was naturally somewhat unwilling.

Mo Yichen said again: "Two years ago, I looked for you. If you are willing to stay and be my apprentice, I will help you save the person."

Wen Hua didn't know how to speak for a moment. He didn't know if it was worth trading his freedom for Tian Xiong's life; after all, Tian Xiong was not related to him and had no connection to him.

Luo Yao said urgently: "Grandfather, why do you have to make him stay?"

Mo Yichen did not explain, but his voice became stern: "What? You don't want to? Since you don't want to, get out of here!"

After he finished speaking, he threw a bottle of pills toward the group: "This is a bottle of fourth-rank Spirit Nourishing Pills, which makes up for your help to Yaoyao. Take it and go; my Youlan Valley never welcomes outsiders!"

Mo Yichen was impervious to reason and actually blasted the group toward the outside of Youlan Valley.

"Mist Sea, do not allow them to step into Youlan Valley!" Mo Yichen arrived at the edge of the Mist Forest and issued the order directly.

The Mist Sea Demon Vine turned into a large net, blocking the group outside Youlan Valley.

"What should we do now?" The group was at their wit's end.

"Let's wait a bit longer, perhaps there is still a turning point!" Chen Fan said in a deep voice.

The group had no choice but to wait in the Mist Forest, unwilling to leave.

At this moment, inside Youlan Valley, the departure of the group made Luo Yao's mood sink again.

She looked at Mo Yichen, almost crying: "Why didn't you help them? Why did you have to make Wen Hua stay!"

Mo Yichen saw this and sighed in his heart. His finger quickly slid across Luo Yao's wrist, and a drop of blood was taken into his hand.

This drop of blood was too strange; it kept struggling at Mo Yichen's fingertip. If one had strong mental power, one could hear what sounded like hissing coming from inside.

"Its toxicity is getting stronger and stronger!" Mo Yichen muttered to himself.

"This is a cursed ability. The longer the blood exists, the stronger its toxicity becomes!"

Mo Yichen looked at Luo Yao, his eyes full of helplessness and doting: "Yaoyao, Grandfather is incompetent. For two years, I haven't been able to research a way to break it, letting you suffer."

Luo Yao's nose immediately felt sore, and tears rolled down: "It's not Grandfather's fault."

Over the past two years, Mo Yichen had conducted a large number of live experiments to research a way to break this curse.

For this reason, he collected the organs of many powerhouses, and thus, the nickname "Evil Doctor" slowly spread.

"Yaoyao, as it stands, only the Nature Heart ability can suppress this curse, but Grandfather is old and doesn't have many years left to live..."

Hearing this, Luo Yao sobbed uncontrollably. After a long time, she sobbed: "So, that's why you wanted to keep Wen Hua, right?"

"Yes!" Mo Yichen let out a long sigh.

"But everyone has their own life; we shouldn't make decisions for others." Luo Yao wiped her tears, somewhat stubbornly.

"Grandfather, if my life only lasts until twenty, then let all the beautiful things stop at twenty."

"I won't force others."

Mo Yichen was silent. Luo Yao was raised by him since she was a child, and he knew very well that Luo Yao was an extremely kind girl.

If he really forcibly detained Wen Hua, this might bring Luo Yao even greater pain.

"Sigh!" Mo Yichen let out a long sigh, and only then said: "Yaoyao, go call them in!"

Mo Yichen thought very clearly; since that was the case, it would be better to do Chen Fan and the others a favor. Perhaps Luo Yao would only be able to rely on them when the time came.

The group arrived in Youlan Valley again. After Mo Yichen asked about Tian Xiong's injuries, he nodded and agreed. To him, this matter was nothing more than a piece of cake.

But he did not immediately set off for the National Martial Arts University to save the person, but instead took the group to another wooden house.

The moment the door was pushed open, the group couldn't help but widen their eyes. The space inside rippled; it was actually an entrance to an other-dimensional space!

Mo Yichen looked at the group and said: "This is an entrance to an other-dimensional space that has not yet been discovered by the authorities. Before going to the National Martial Arts University to save the person, there is one thing I also need your help with."

"What is it? Please instruct us, Senior." Chen Fan hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"I need you to help me wake someone up!"

"Wake someone up? Where is the person?" The group couldn't help but be surprised.

"Let's go, the person is in this other-dimensional space." After Mo Yichen finished speaking, he stepped into it first.

The group followed closely. After entering the other-dimensional space, they appeared on an island.

The island was not large, only the size of a village, and surrounded by an endless ocean.

It was extremely quiet here, and there were no strange beasts.

In the center of the island was a hemispherical barrier. Although it was not large, its surface was like a dreamlike curtain, interwoven with countless ethereal light threads.

"What is this?" The group was puzzled.

"This is a barrier formed by the long-term existence of mental power. The person I want you to wake up is inside."
