He was somewhat surprised.
"Did something like this happen? Then, do you mean... that Aya is still outside our window?"
Ye Wuji felt a little uneasy and glanced towards the window. It was closed and had not been opened.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had not confirmed this matter, but it was basically certain that Aya had not woken up. Otherwise, no matter what state Aya was in after waking up, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox would not have heard even the slightest sound.
The little fox said, "She is indeed still outside and has not woken up."
"However, you don't need to worry too much. Although I didn't take you with me in the middle of last night, normally, if someone entered the room and saw that I wasn't there, they wouldn't hurt you."
"After all, you're not very conspicuous."
"So, I didn't intentionally leave you in the room. It's just that for you, it's much safer than going out on an adventure with me."
Ye Wuji thought about it and reluctantly accepted this explanation.
The little fox added, emphasizing, "But I did forget to leave you a note or something to remind you. I apologize again for this."
Only then did Ye Wuji completely forgive the little fox.
Ye Wuji asked Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, "However, even though you said that, I don't really blame you. After all, nothing happened to me."
"Since something like this has happened, what should we do next?"
Ye Tiancheng said, "This matter is actually a good opportunity for us to use. I originally intended to contact Elder Wu, who has the highest reputation in this village, but I never had a suitable opportunity. It was just yesterday that I was lucky enough to find his residence."
"Now, with this opportunity, we can openly go and visit him."
Ye Wuji indicated that he understood.
Ye Tiancheng had already made up his mind. When he learned of this matter in the middle of last night, he had already started thinking about what he should do.
After they had discussed it, they finally arrived outside the little fox's room window.
Aya was indeed still lying where she had fallen last night, not having woken up.
Ye Tiancheng and the others tried calling her a few times but found that they couldn't wake her up. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng thought about it and could only carry Aya on his back and, along with the little fox, head out.
For safety's sake, since Ye Wuji was currently in the form of a bird and could not do much if he went out, and there was also the risk of encountering danger, it was better to leave Ye Wuji here, which was at least much safer.
Ye Wuji knew that he couldn't help much with this arrangement, so he agreed and chose to stay in the room, finding a hidden spot to stay.
This way, even if something came to cause trouble, as long as he hid well, he wouldn't be discovered, and he could also see what was happening, and then tell Ye Tiancheng and the other two what had happened when they returned.
This way, Ye Tiancheng and the others could go out with peace of mind.
Ye Tiancheng, carrying Aya and with the little fox, went out. Early in the morning, they encountered many villagers who had come out to work. Seeing Ye Tiancheng like this, they were immediately very surprised and came forward to ask.
Before, when Ye Tiancheng went out with the little fox, he did not hide his whereabouts. The people here saw Ye Tiancheng and the little fox. Perhaps because Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were outsiders, even if they were curious, they almost never actively spoke to them.
But now, seeing that something had happened to Aya, they would definitely come to ask.
After all, Aya was one of their own people.
Moreover, from some signs, it could be seen that Aya's status here seemed to be unusual, not particularly low.
Facing the inquiries of these people, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox pretended to be out of control, deliberately showing worry and explaining the general situation.
Ye Tiancheng said that he woke up early in the morning and found that Aya had fainted outside the house at some point. He didn't know when she fainted or why, and she couldn't be woken up. He wanted to take Aya to Elder Wu's house to see what was wrong with her.
These villagers called out to Aya a few times, half-believing and half-doubting.
Aya indeed showed no reaction, and when they tentatively touched her forehead, her forehead temperature was also scorching hot. Perhaps because she had been lying outside for too long at night, she had caught a chill and had a slight fever.
Her temperature was a bit unusually hot to the touch, and the situation was indeed not optimistic.
Seeing this, the villagers did not dare to delay Ye Tiancheng and the others and urged Ye Tiancheng and the little fox to quickly take Aya up the mountain to let Elder Wu see what was wrong with her.
Only then could Ye Tiancheng and the little fox proceed smoothly.
However, along the way, perhaps because it was quite long, the trouble did not end here. After walking for a while, Ye Tiancheng and the others were suddenly stopped.
Ye Tiancheng didn't notice at first that someone was aggressively walking towards him. It wasn't carelessness, but rather an instinctive lack of excessive concern for those who posed no threat to him.
However, when the person appeared on the road in front of Ye Tiancheng, Ye Tiancheng could no longer ignore him.
So, Ye Tiancheng looked up.
He saw a handsome young man blocking the road in front of him. The man's gaze seemed to be filled with extreme rejection and disgust, and even some anger.
Ye Tiancheng was somewhat bewildered but had no mood to deal with the other party.
The other party did not speak, so Ye Tiancheng frowned and said to him, "Excuse me, please move aside a little. I'm in a hurry. Can you not block the way?"
The man crossed his arms and suddenly said, "Do you know who I am?"
This was truly inexplicable.
Ye Tiancheng thought, how would I know who you are? Why would I care who you are?
He then said, "Who you are has nothing to do with me, and I'm not interested. Time is of the essence now, and I don't have time to argue with you. Please move aside immediately and don't block my path up the mountain."
The man felt that he had been looked down upon by Ye Tiancheng, and his face immediately showed even greater anger.
"I am Yi Xiqi!"
"It's you, kid, that Aya fancied and chose as her husband? What's so good about someone like you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tiancheng knew that this Yi Xiqi was blocking his way because of Aya and was causing trouble for him. Moreover, this Yi Xiqi definitely did not know what had happened to Aya.
Ye Tiancheng was not worried that this delay would cause Aya to be delayed for too long, leading to a worse situation.
After all, he had been tricked by Aya. If he didn't hold a grudge or seek revenge, it would be good enough. At most, he would not actively do anything bad to Aya, but he would not worry about Aya's situation.
The appearance Ye Tiancheng was putting on was actually just to rationalize his actions and make his movements smoother.
If it weren't for the need to avoid suspicion, given Ye Tiancheng's current situation, acting more abnormally would be more disadvantageous to Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng was a smart person and would not create trouble for himself.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng put on an appearance of being in a hurry, but Ye Tiancheng really didn't mind stalling for a few more words with this young man named Yi Xiqi.
However, even a clay figurine has some temper.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng had never been a particularly good-tempered person. He had some restraint, either because of the situation or because the other party was worth restraining his temper. Otherwise, how could anyone be allowed to offend him so unscrupulously?
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng impatiently said to Yi Xiqi, "That has nothing to do with you. If you are dissatisfied with this and have any opinions, go and tell Aya. There's no need to be sarcastic with me. Even if you say it, I won't pay attention to you."
"Now, move aside, or I won't be polite."
Yi Xiqi looked at Ye Tiancheng with great disdain and said, "What can you do to me that's impolite?"
"You, a toad who wants to eat swan meat, I advise you to return Aya to me and stay away from her. Otherwise, as long as you are in this village for one day, I will never let you have an easy time."
Ye Tiancheng sneered.
He said, "If you like Aya so much, can't you see that Aya's current situation is not very good? If you continue to delay like this, and something happens to Aya, will you be responsible?"
Yi Xiqi only saw Ye Tiancheng carrying Aya on his back. Thinking of the current relationship between Ye Tiancheng and Aya, he was filled with rage and came out to pick a fight.
However, Aya had been silent for so long, and he did feel it was a bit strange.
But his stronger hostility towards Ye Tiancheng made him not pay attention to this aspect for a while.
But now, since Ye Tiancheng had brought it up, it was different.
For Yi Xiqi, on the one hand, he did like Aya, so Yi Xiqi could not help but care about Aya. On the other hand, Yi Xiqi regarded Ye Tiancheng as his love rival. Being reminded of this by Ye Tiancheng made Yi Xiqi seem less concerned about his own Aya than his love rival Ye Tiancheng.
This would make Yi Xiqi somewhat annoyed.
So, Yi Xiqi immediately accused Ye Tiancheng, "What happened to Aya?"
"You brat, how did you take care of Aya? What did you do to her? Why has she been unconscious?"
Ye Tiancheng was annoyed by his appearance and retorted.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but Aya is, after all, my nominal wife. It has nothing to do with you. If her condition is not good, I will take care of it. It's not your place to criticize. Now, please move aside immediately!"
Yi Xiqi was naturally unwilling.
He immediately said to Ye Tiancheng, "You outsider, quickly hand over Aya. Aya will naturally be taken care of by me. Put her down, you are not qualified to be so close to her!"
Ye Tiancheng almost laughed.
He didn't know if people like Yi Xiqi truly liked Aya.
If Yi Xiqi truly liked Aya, or liked her that much, shouldn't he be more concerned about Aya's condition at this moment and hope that Aya could receive timely treatment as soon as possible?
