Chapter 1300: Special Ability
"It was on the day of my father's death anniversary, in the small courtyard of my old home, that she was talking to the air," Li Jie said.
"I was very puzzled at the time, because there was absolutely no one around her, yet she was talking and laughing as if she were very familiar with the person in front of her."
"How old was she then?" Chen Yu pondered.
"Five years old," Li Jie said. "I remember it very clearly. I asked her who she was talking to, and she said, 'Grandpa'."
"I asked her, 'What does your grandpa look like?' She told me, 'Grandpa is wearing a green military uniform and has a scar on his face.'"
"Was everything she said true?" Chen Yu asked with some doubt.
"It was true. My father had served in the military and fought in wars; there was a place on his face that had been injured by shrapnel," Li Jie said.
"But she had never met my father, nor had she ever seen his photo. That she could describe it so clearly made me feel a bit creeped out."
"This is the Heavenly Eye. It is not surprising that some gifted children can see these things," Chen Yu said. "Moreover, she herself is not an ordinary person to begin with, so it is not strange that she possesses such an ability."
"But what she said at the time was very frightening," Li Jie sighed. "I was very panicked and hurriedly picked her up to leave the small courtyard."
"And then, did you find an expert to seal her related abilities?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, I told a relative in the village about this matter, my Fifth Aunt. She is a shaman and is very prestigious in the local area. She told me this was the Heavenly Eye."
"Then she found a way to seal this ability of hers. She told me that Liu Ruxi is different from other children; she has the Spirit Dust Clear Aperture Divine Ability and is a person of great wisdom."
"Indeed, she is a Buddhist Cultivator among Dharma Cultivators, and her realm has already reached the level of Buddha Face Buddha Heart. How could she be compared to ordinary children?" Chen Yu muttered.
"So from then on, I knew she was extraordinary, but after my Fifth Aunt helped seal her ability, she never had a similar situation again."
"No wonder I see her Spirit Dust covered and her apertures blocked," Chen Yu muttered. "This was done by your Fifth Aunt when she was a child to seal her Heavenly Eye by dousing her with Black Dog Blood, right?"
"Yes, that is correct. I felt that this kind of ability was not a good thing for a child, so I asked my Fifth Aunt to think of a way."
Li Jie nodded repeatedly and said, "Fifth Aunt found a black dog and killed it, then used the Black Dog Blood to douse her body. From then on, she never saw those strange things again."
"This ability of hers is not a gift, but a natural ability after her One Qi Transforms into Three Lotuses," Chen Yu said with a wry smile. "Even if she saw those things, it would have been fine. Sealing it instead made her subsequent awakening more sluggish."
"Ah?" Li Jie was slightly stunned and said with some self-reproach, "I didn't know at the time. I didn't think that much; I just felt that at her age, seeing those things was not good for her."
"En, I don't blame you," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Don't worry, the impact is not significant. She will awaken sooner or later."
"Then will there be any other impact on her?" Li Jie asked, still somewhat uneasy.
"There won't be any other impact," Chen Yu shook his head. "Apart from the slower awakening, there is no other impact."
"Oh, that's good." Upon hearing this, Li Jie finally felt relieved. She stroked her chest and said, "If she had been affected by this matter, I would have blamed myself to death."
"No need to blame yourself, it's fine. Let's keep these matters from her for now," Chen Yu said. "Before her consciousness awakens, to some Cultivators, she is a walking Spirit aperture."
"If she were captured and her Lotus Body taken, it would aid in cultivation. So, I came here firstly to help her awaken, and secondly to protect her so she does not get hurt."
"Really? Then thank you so much. Chen Yu, do you know? I have always felt that someone is watching us in the dark, watching our lives."
Li Jie said with lingering fear, "Although I haven't seen the other party and have no evidence, I know that someone must be watching us in the dark."
"That feeling is very uncomfortable. With you here to protect us, I feel much more at ease."
"You have already been targeted?" Chen Yu's expression changed slightly. "They came so fast. I have only just found her, and some people are already coveting her Lotus Body?"
"Then what should we do? Should we call the police?" Seeing Chen Yu's expression turn serious, Li Jie immediately began to feel nervous again.
"No need. Calling the police for this kind of thing is useless; it doesn't fall under the police's jurisdiction. Rest assured, with me here, no one can hinder you." Chen Yu guaranteed.
"Then... thank you so much. It was truly a wise move to let you move into the house." Li Jie finally let out a sigh of relief. With Chen Yu's words, she truly felt much more at ease.
Liu Ruxi is a workaholic. Now that she has the entry qualification for the World Trade Center, she wishes she could spend all day immersed in it.
It was not until the sky turned slightly dark that she walked out from inside.
Moreover, her face carried an irrepressible expression of excitement.
"Looking at you, you've gained quite a lot," Li Jie composed her emotions and smiled as she stepped forward.
"That goes without saying. This time we have the qualification to enter, and we even have an exclusive booth inside. We will have to send staff to be stationed here from now on."
Liu Ruxi's little face was flushed with excitement. She said happily, "Chen Yu, this time it is thanks to you again. I really must thank you properly."
"You're welcome," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Since you are so prepared, you will definitely do well inside. Keep it up."
"No, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have the qualification to enter," Liu Ruxi shook her head. "You've helped me out in a big way again."
"I am an employee. Isn't it expected and natural for an employee to solve problems for their boss?" Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Alright, don't be so formal with me. Just treat me to a meal."
"Alright, what do you want to eat?" Liu Ruxi said with a giggle.
"Chuan cuisine, Yu cuisine, anything is fine," Chen Yu said. "Don't take me to high-end restaurants; I'm not used to eating there."
"How about Xiang cuisine? I know a Xiang restaurant that is quite good, and you don't have to wait in line, plus the environment is good," Li Jie interjected.
"Let's go there. Let's go, Auntie. Chen Yu, you go drive," Liu Ruxi giggled and hugged her.
"Mind your image, we are outside," Li Jie glared at her and said crossly.
"So what if we are outside? My aunt is my aunt, I want to hug her," Liu Ruxi giggled, and instead, she became even more clingy.
