Chapter 3452

Jingqing said, "Vitality has returned," and before Xiao Churan could even grasp what he meant, she saw the withered bouquet before her instantly come back to life.

A bunch of flowers that had originally been entirely grayish-brown and dried up suddenly, in this very moment, regained their vibrant colors, and the withered stems and petals also became plump, fresh, and full of vitality once more.

Xiao Churan was completely stunned, for in her entire life she had never witnessed such a scene.

The withering of life, in her impression, was completely irreversible—why could it, under the influence of just one sentence from Master Jingqing, suddenly regain its lush vitality?!

This clearly overturned everything she had been taught for so many years, as well as her understanding of this world.

Immediately, the bouquet in her arms began to emit a faint floral fragrance—this scent was extraordinarily fresh and natural, certainly not a trick, but true magic.

She was utterly astonished, her eyes wide as she stared at Jingqing: "This… how did you do it? Master, how could you possess such inconceivable divine powers?"

Jingqing replied calmly: "Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk's modest abilities, in front of Young Master Ye, are probably no more than a single hair on nine oxen."

Xiao Churan was even more shocked!

She blurted out: "You mean Young Master Ye also has such abilities!?"

"Of course!" Master Jingqing nodded, saying: "I have said before, your husband is a rare ascendant dragon fate in the world. If my modest abilities are like a building rising from flat ground, then his abilities soar straight into the ninth heaven beyond the clouds!"

"My goodness..." Xiao Churan's mind was in utter chaos, and she blurted: "How could this possibly be? I've lived with him for so long—why have I felt not even the slightest hint?"

Tang Sihai beside her spoke: "Madam Ye, actually, over these past few years, your life has been surrounded by all kinds of miracles—it's just that sometimes, your mind automatically rationalizes them. Think carefully, and you should be able to recall one or two."

"All kinds of miracles..."

Xiao Churan pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Ye Chen's martial prowess is itself a miracle… Right, and also when my father had that car accident, the doctors said his spine was shattered and he suffered high-level paraplegia, but in the end Ye Chen found Shi Tianqi, the Divine Physician, to heal him."

Tang Sihai countered: "Madam Ye, you are also a highly educated person—now calm down and think carefully: in this world, is there any true traditional Chinese physician who can truly cure irreversible high-level paraplegia? Not to mention TCM, even Western medicine, or doctors from tribes all over the globe, simply cannot possess such ability."

Xiao Churan exclaimed in surprise: "Then you mean, my father's high-level paraplegia back then was healed by Ye Chen?"

"Of course!" Tang Sihai said: "The Young Master possesses divine abilities, enabling him to concoct elixirs that no physician in this world can produce. Many tycoons have even offered hundreds of millions of US dollars just to buy a single pill, and the Young Master used it to heal your father."

Xiao Churan finally came to understand.

So that's how it is!

I've encountered danger so many times, and Ye Chen always appeared at the very first moment. When I was ostracized in the Xiao family, I suddenly felt that the big shots of Jin Ling were all helping me. And there's Fei Keyin—she is the daughter and head of the American Fei family, with assets worth tens of billions of US dollars, yet she has been especially attentive to me. All of this, everything, is because of Ye Chen!

Thinking of how I've been kept in the dark for so many years, and how Ye Chen has hidden his identity and concealed his strength for so many years, enduring so much injustice and so many sideways glances, my heart ached, and I couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

But I still don't understand—I asked Tang Sihai and Jingqing: "Since you both say Ye Chen's strength surpasses even Master Jingqing's, could it be that he still cannot defeat that old monster?"

Tang Sihai gave a wry smile: "As far as I know, with the Young Master's current strength, not to mention one of him—even if there were three of him, or five of him, they might still not be a match for that old monster."

After speaking, he fixed his wrinkled yet clear old eyes on Xiao Churan and sighed: "Madam Ye, this is also why I wanted to ask you to temporarily leave the Young Master. All along, the Young Master has not told you these hidden matters, certainly because he does not wish to involve you in them. This may have protected you, but it has also brought him great pressure and scattered much of his energy."

"Just like your mother, Ma Lan, Madam Ma—she once disappeared for a period of time. Surely you still remember that?"

Xiao Churan nodded: "I remember. My mother said she was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme."

"Not at all." Tang Sihai shook his head: "Your mother, back then, secretly took the Young Master's bank card, which contained the 10 billion RMB that our old master had entrusted me to give to the Young Master. After she figured out the card's password, she transferred all the money to herself. The Young Master feared his identity would be exposed, so he claimed the card was a fake bank card made by a gang, to let your mother let down her guard, and had no choice but to let the police take her to detention for a few days. I never expected that at the time, your grandmother and your cousin were also in the same cell, causing your mother to suffer some injury at their hands."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Churan initially hesitated slightly, but quickly realized: this is exactly my mother's usual style. If she truly saw it, and saw that Ye Chen's bank card held hundreds of billions, she would definitely transfer the money first and then speak.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt deep shame in her heart.

It turns out that my parents and I have not only relied on Ye Chen's secret protection all along, but have also constantly stirred up various troubles.

And the Young Master himself bears a deep blood feud—our family has not only been unable to help him, but has even been draining his energy and holding back his legs.

Upon this thought, I also understood why Tang Sihai wanted me to leave Ye Chen.

My family has been of no help to Ye Chen at all—we can only be a hindrance. Rather than this, leaving Ye Chen would actually be helping him, at the very least no longer dragging him down or sapping his energy.

At this moment, she was already tear-streaked, feeling both heartache and shame, but above all, reluctance.

Heartache, for Ye Chen's tragic fate, and for how he has endured so many years with such difficulty;

Shame, for feeling that I have never truly fulfilled my duties as a good wife—neglecting the responsibilities and obligations I should bear, failing to relieve my husband's worries, and always needing his secret help, while my parents have constantly caused him trouble;

As for reluctance, it is because I have now realized that, for Ye Chen's safety and also for his path of revenge, I can no longer stay and drag him down.

Thus, she asked Tang Sihai: "How do you want me to leave Ye Chen? Should I pretend to know nothing of all this and propose divorce, or simply disappear without a word?"

Tang Sihai hurriedly said: "Of course, disappear without a word—otherwise, if you propose divorce, it would certainly be a great blow to the Young Master, and would instead affect his cultivation and his mindset."

Xiao Churan asked again: "If I disappear without a word, will he come looking for me?"

Tang Sihai said: "You need not worry about this—in fact, I myself once disappeared without a word for certain reasons, and back then I also feared the Young Master would find me, so I went to a place he could never possibly find—that place is in Tahiti, a private island, essentially cut off from the world. But please rest assured, the environment there is excellent, the facilities are very modern, and we will prepare everything needed for life there, to ensure you and your parents can live peacefully and happily."

Xiao Churan gave a bitter smile: "It seems you've already prepared everything long ago."

After saying that, she sighed and asked: "Then will I still have a chance to see Ye Chen in the future?"

Tang Sihai said: "Madam Ye, rest assured,
