Chapter 2760

On the other side.

Ye Chen was still in the hillside villa of Champs Elysees, having a long talk with Lin Wan'er and Yun Ruge.

Although he had already decided to perform an 'Empty City Strategy' for Wu Feiyan, there were still many details that needed to be clarified step by step.

Lin Wan'er said to Ye Chen: "Young Master's idea of the 'Empty City Strategy' is simply brilliant, but the only risk is, if the three great elders come to Jin Ling, but Wu Feiyan hasn't noticed the portrait of the Master's Master yet, how should we respond?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Don't worry, the hottest short video platform right now is an industry of the Ye family. I will find a way to send this painting to the Calligraphy and Painting Association this morning. Within a few hours, I can naturally arrange for this painting to trend. As long as Wu Feiyan is still watching Jin Ling, she will definitely see it."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "I estimate that if it's really as Miss Yun said, Wu Feiyan will definitely send the three great elders, then those three elders have probably already set off."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "Coming to China from the edge of Antarctica is a long distance, and it's impossible for an ultra-long-range passenger plane to take off and land on their island, so they must first head to Argentina. They are probably on their way to Argentina right now."

Ye Chen checked the time and smiled: "If they are efficient, they will probably have already taken off for China by seven or eight o'clock in the morning our time."

As he spoke, Ye Chen paused slightly and added: "After they board the plane to China, I will make Ancestor Meng's painting public. By then, I estimate Wu Feiyan will quickly summon them back urgently. At that time, the mentality of these three people will probably collapse."

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The three of them have been in seclusion for a hundred years and were about to succeed, only to be suddenly called out by Wu Feiyan to perform a task. They will definitely have opinions, even if they are Wu family members themselves. This is human nature."

Ye Chen and Yun Ruge both agreed with Lin Wan'er's point of view.

Yun Ruge sighed: "Having opinions is certain. After all, they persisted for a hundred years and were just one step away, only to be suddenly interrupted. Who knows how long it will be delayed."

Ye Chen smiled: "The key is, if there really is an urgent task, they are duty-bound to come out of seclusion. But after all the trouble, they haven't even reached Jin Ling before being called back. This feeling is like taking a dog out for a walk, and pulling the dog back before even reaching the downstairs. The dog will be dissatisfied too."

Lin Wan'er asked with a smile: "Then what is Young Master's plan now? What method is appropriate to give this painting to that calligraphy and painting exhibition?"

Ye Chen replied: "My father-in-law is the executive vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. They have been looking for exhibits everywhere recently. I can give this painting to him."

Lin Wan'er said with some worry: "Young Master's identity is sensitive, and Wu Feiyan has always wanted to find Young Master's whereabouts. If Young Master gives the painting to your father-in-law, in case Wu Feiyan sends someone to investigate, she might be able to find out Young Master's identity information. Wouldn't that expose you?"

Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I must choose a clever way to give this painting to my father-in-law."

As he spoke, he thought of an idea and said: "I have a way. I will handle this matter later."

After saying this, he looked at Yun Ruge and said: "Miss Yun, the formation Wu Feiyan left in your Niwan Palace requires a special mantra and mental cultivation method to activate, right?"

Yun Ruge nodded: "That's right."

Ye Chen asked again: "Then have you ever used Qi to explore the mystery within?"

Yun Ruge said: "I have, but the Niwan Palace is usually closed, and our Qi cannot enter at all."

Ye Chen nodded and sighed: "It seems Wu Feiyan's strength is indeed very strong. I have never opened the Niwan Palace either. I can't even open my own Niwan Palace, let alone hope to open someone else's. So the self-destruct formation in your body should be impossible to remove in the short term."

Yun Ruge sighed softly and said: "I never thought I could remove the formation, I just hope this formation won't affect other innocent people. Anyway, I don't have much time left to live, and there are only two years left in my life."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Why does Miss Yun say that?"

Yun Ruge said: "I have a strange poison in my body left by Wu Feiyan. Every three years, I must take an antidote, otherwise, my meridians will break and my five internal organs will be destroyed, and I will die."

Ye Chen frowned: "I wonder if I can take a look?"

Yun Ruge hesitated for a moment, nodded gently, and handed her right hand to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen placed his fingers on Yun Ruge's pulse. After a wisp of Qi entered her body and wandered around, he discovered that her meridians, dantian, and even her five internal organs were surrounded by a strange energy.

Ye Chen could vaguely feel that this energy had completely merged with her meridians and five internal organs. With Ye Chen's current ability, it was completely impossible to separate this energy from her body.

What was even stranger was that Ye Chen could feel that the essence of this energy was extremely manic, but the reason it could stably merge with her body and not interfere with each other was because there was another energy acting like a stabilizer, continuously interacting with this energy, keeping the former stable.

Moreover, Ye Chen could feel that the latter was actually being continuously absorbed by the former at an extremely slow speed. This slow absorption not only allowed the former to remain stable but also allowed the former to gradually become stronger and stronger through continuous absorption over a long period, while the latter would become weaker and weaker because it was continuously being absorbed by the former.

Ye Chen couldn't help but say: "Miss Yun, there are two strange streams of Qi in your body. Do you know that yourself?"

"I know." Yun Ruge nodded and said: "These two streams of Qi are the poison and the antidote."

Ye Chen sighed: "It seems that the Qi in the deepest part of Miss Yun's body should be the poison itself, and the Qi involved with it is the effect of the antidote. As long as the effect of the antidote is still there, it can stabilize the toxicity of the poison. But the effect of the antidote is being slowly absorbed by the former. Once the latter, which acts as a stabilizer, is absorbed clean, the former will erupt, causing you to die."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "The poison in your body is completely different from the situation of the dead soldiers and the Cavalry Guards. The poison in the dead soldiers and Cavalry Guards is a complex poison. I think it should be a special poison mastered by Wu Feiyan, paired with a special antidote to form a restraint. But the poison in your body, Miss Yun, is less of a poison and more of a special kind of Qi."

Yun Ruge nodded, gave a self-deprecating smile, and said: "This is Wu Feiyan's cleverness. The poison and antidote she gives us are actually a special kind of Qi. The clever thing is that if we don't take the antidote, we will die of poison, and if we take the antidote, it seems to stabilize this energy, but in fact, it is letting this energy continuously improve its own strength. It's equivalent to chronic poisoning, getting deeper and deeper."

Ye Chen sighed: "Wu Feiyan is indeed smart. The consequence that this poison and antidote bring to you is that the longer you live, the more of this antidote you must eat, and the more antidote you eat, the stronger the poison in your body becomes. Even if you cultivate diligently and your strength continuously improves, because you have to take the antidote every three years, you will never be able to get rid of this poison's control over you!"
