Song Chu Yue nodded, indicating she understood. She considered it carefully, and during her consideration, she suddenly asked out of curiosity, "Can you see them too? If you and your brother are both so capable, you should both be able to see them, right? How do you usually deal with these kinds of problems? Is it because you are powerful that you are fearless?"
Hearing Song Chu Yue's question, Ye Tian Cheng recalled something, then rubbed his eyes, and suddenly froze. After a long silence, he finally answered Song Chu Yue's question.
"My brother and I can both see and not see. We don't have those innate eyes, so we need some auxiliary means. We only open them when necessary. We don't open them normally. For example, there's no need now, so I won't open those eyes to avoid causing myself trouble."
"No matter how powerful a person is, if they attract many troublesome things one after another, it's also very annoying to deal with them, so we usually don't look at those things."
Song Chu Yue nodded again, then pondered for a long time before saying, "I think it's fine, and it's completely okay to take a little risk for Xiao Xue."
"Besides, don't I have the talismans you gave me? They can still protect my safety under certain circumstances, right?"
Ye Tian Cheng managed a wry smile. "Since that's the case and it's your decision after careful consideration, I won't force you. I'll teach you the methods then."
Song Chu Yue nodded and began to learn the methods from Ye Tian Cheng, studying very diligently.
After Ye Tian Cheng finished teaching Song Chu Yue, there was nothing else for them to do. Ye Tian Cheng had no further instructions for Song Chu Yue, so he bid her farewell.
As Song Chu Yue turned to leave, she couldn't see that Ye Tian Cheng, within the air wall, had never left. He was watching her retreating figure with a complex expression.
By the time he came over, Ye Tian Cheng hadn't thought that much. He just felt that Ou Xiao Xue had a very good friend, which was indeed a rare thing. However, before this trip, when the little fox handed him the prepared talismans, she had told him something else.
The little fox told Ye Tian Cheng at that time that although Song Chu Yue seemed very concerned about Ou Xiao Xue now, and was very loyal, even risking danger to help Ou Xiao Xue, this did not mean that Song Chu Yue was not suspected.
Just as Song Chu Yue herself had said, everyone was suspected until proven otherwise, so she still needed to be observed. But by the same logic, it also applied to her.
Who could say that the person doing evil would not be Ou Xiao Xue's best friend, and would not use that as an excuse to lurk by Ou Xiao Xue's side, only feeling content and at ease after witnessing Ou Xiao Xue's misfortune?
Even if she showed great concern for Ou Xiao Xue on the surface, and seemed to risk danger for her, what if, for her, such a risk didn't even exist? What if it wasn't a risk for her at all?
Ye Tian Cheng could not deny that such a thing was possible. Song Chu Yue could not completely clear her suspicion. What the little fox said made sense.
But such a thing was also too cruel. No matter who it was, they wouldn't wish for such a thing to happen. Yet, they couldn't help but make guesses and precautions, otherwise, it would be too late when the bad things happened.
Therefore, the little fox asked Ye Tian Cheng to confirm if there was anything unusual about Song Chu Yue when he went to deliver the talismans to her this time. Ye Tian Cheng knew how to open his Yin-Yang eyes, and he definitely had ways to protect himself. There was no one here who could threaten him.
However, Ye Tian Cheng privately hoped that this matter would not come true. And on the way here, at first, Ye Tian Cheng hadn't thought of this matter, so he hadn't opened his Yin-Yang eyes and hadn't checked the situation. He was just communicating with Song Chu Yue and exchanging talismans.
But not long ago, Ye Tian Cheng suddenly sensed something. He felt that Song Chu Yue was a little strange. Although he didn't want to suspect her, Ye Tian Cheng did become suspicious.
Ye Tian Cheng was not a naive person. If he were, he wouldn't have suspected the little fox back then. It's just that most people are less guarded against those close to them. Ou Xiao Xue's trust in Song Chu Yue would affect Ye Tian Cheng and the little fox's perception of Song Chu Yue. Most people would naturally lean towards wanting to believe in the good side of human nature.
However, since Ye Tian Cheng was now suspicious of Song Chu Yue, he would definitely test her. Especially when Song Chu Yue seemed to be confirming if he had Yin-Yang eyes, at that moment, Ye Tian Cheng opened his Yin-Yang eyes, and then he saw a not-insignificant amount of black energy surrounding Song Chu Yue.
Then Ye Tian Cheng remembered that the reason the little fox had asked him to observe Song Chu Yue for any abnormalities was because she had discovered that the teachers and classmates who came to visit Ou Xiao Xue today all had a bad aura around them.
And Song Chu Yue was not conspicuous in the crowd this morning. She didn't stand out. She had been the one most frequently in contact with Ou Xiao Xue and most concerned about her last night. But now, when everyone else came to see Ou Xiao Xue, she was hiding at the back of the crowd, making her hard to see, which was very unusual.
Now that Ye Tian Cheng looked, it was indeed problematic. But recalling that the little fox said that the teachers and classmates all had a bad aura, they couldn't figure out who was lying.
Did Ou Xiao Xue have any places where she was hiding something from them? It couldn't be that Ou Xiao Xue was the only naive and innocent one in the entire group, could it?
Ye Tian Cheng was a little troubled. Although he didn't want to make this call to contact Hou Ming Zhu and the others, he seemed to have no other choice now.
After a moment of hesitation, Ye Tian Cheng picked up his phone and dialed Hou Ming Zhu's number, then asked her for some favors.
Hou Ming Zhu eventually learned that Ye Tian Cheng and the little fox had been transferred. She knew they couldn't get out and didn't blame Ye Tian Cheng, but she insisted on coming to see Ye Tian Cheng herself. Even if she couldn't reach him or see him, Ye Tian Cheng couldn't help but agree.
Similarly, Fatty also expressed his desire to come. Now Ye Tian Cheng was truly helpless. Since they wanted to come, let them all come.
However, Ye Tian Cheng would mention this matter to the little fox when he returned, but he didn't want to tell Ou Xiao Xue, nor her teachers and classmates whose intentions were unclear, whether they were good or bad. Therefore, Ye Tian Cheng couldn't directly introduce Ou Xiao Xue to Hou Ming Zhu.
When he returned, Ye Tian Cheng, from a hidden angle, let Hou Ming Zhu and Fatty see Ou Xiao Xue via video call. When he returned, the little fox had just come out of Ou Xiao Xue's tent, and Ou Xiao Xue had come to see him off, which was why they happened to be seen.
When the little fox came to Ye Tian Cheng's side, she noticed that Ye Tian Cheng was video calling Hou Ming Zhu and Fatty. She glanced at Ye Tian Cheng with a quiet curiosity, then realized what was happening and didn't reveal it in front of Ou Xiao Xue.
After returning to the wooden house, Ye Tian Cheng and the little fox cooperated to explain to Hou Ming Zhu and Fatty.
In fact, when they were transferred by the formation, they had already discovered that the formation would open for an hour before the transfer. During this time, they could enter and exit freely. However, if they couldn't return to the formation in time, the formation would transfer, and it would be difficult to capture its location again.
They still had to continue collecting fragments of the Fuxi Qin. Even with this opportunity, they couldn't leave.
In fact, Ye Tian Cheng and Fatty both knew that they had the Fuxi Qin before, but it was snatched away by the woman in red. They were still thinking about how to get the Fuxi Qin back. Ye Tian Cheng never expected that after the Nuwa Stone returned, the Fuxi Qin would become fragments again and need him to collect them.
Fatty also asked Ye Tian Cheng, "Brother Ye, did that woman in red do anything else after snatching the Fuxi Qin? Why did the Fuxi Qin become fragments again?"
"Perhaps her goal was to destroy the Fuxi Qin. You should know what hope was destroyed by this. She might have intended to do so, and I have confirmed it. I have already collected one piece, and what I got is indeed a fragment of the Fuxi Qin, so I must keep it. Do you understand?" Ye Tian Cheng explained to Fatty.
This was not entirely a lie. It was indeed the case. The Nuwa Stone couldn't explain clearly what had happened, as it was actually asleep at that time. However, when it sensed it, the Fuxi Qin was already in fragments.
However, since Fatty didn't know about the Nuwa Stone, Ye Tian Cheng didn't mention that the Nuwa Stone had discovered it. He only said that he had discovered it himself. But Hou Ming Zhu and Ye Tian Cheng exchanged glances, understanding that it was the Nuwa Stone's fault.
When Hou Ming Zhu asked why Ye Tian Cheng hadn't told them at the time, Ye Tian Cheng truthfully replied, "Because my little fox and I couldn't go back to celebrate the New Year with you. This was already a great regret. You had finally accepted this matter, and then there was even worse news. I was afraid that telling you would make it even harder for you to have a good New Year."
Hou Ming Zhu took a deep breath, but she understood Ye Tian Cheng. It was precisely because Ye Tian Cheng cared about them that he did this. His intentions were good, and Hou Ming Zhu didn't want to blame him.
"I understand your feelings, and I'm very happy that you would think that way. However, since we can see you, even if we can't reach you, even if there's just an air wall between us, my daughter and I still hope to celebrate the New Year with you. When the New Year comes, no matter where you are, tell us. Let us come find you, so that at least this family can be together."
Ye Tian Cheng was deeply moved by Hou Ming Zhu's words. Hou Ming Zhu had really changed a lot and done a lot for him. Moreover, Hou Ming Zhu was his destined woman. She had experienced so much with him and suffered so much.
Now Ye Tian Cheng could no longer disregard Hou Ming Zhu's thoughts and feelings. If Hou Ming Zhu insisted, he couldn't do anything about it.
Ye Tian Cheng said, "I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings. I will definitely tell you then. Even if we can't touch each other, our family should still be together for the New Year. It's just hard on you that you have to spend such a special New Year because of me."
Hou Ming Zhu understood Ye Tian Cheng's psychological pressure, chuckled, and comforted Ye Tian Cheng, saying, "It's okay. Celebrating the New Year like this might be interesting too!"
