Old Mrs. Jiang was completely stunned. Although he was her grandson, she loved them all. But this smart and normal one, not to mention how much better he was than a fool, the key was that with such a smart child, the Jiang family could be considered to have hope.
"Thank you so much, benefactor. Are you a fairy? How can you be so magical? You gave him a sugar figurine, and after eating it, my grandson suddenly became normal."
"It's not enough yet. I can only say that his intelligence is close to normal, but his appearance has not yet recovered and still needs some assistance. It will take at least two more days. The main reason is that this illness has been going on for too long, and it's impossible to recover completely all at once."
"Now I finally see hope. You can do whatever you want. If there's anything we need to cooperate with, all of us Jiang family members will definitely cooperate. Whether it's money or manpower, just say the word."
"No need for money. Just give my master what he wants. It seems to be a medicinal herb called Jianghuang. That herb is useful to my master."
"This medicinal herb is also the heirloom of our Jiang family. We need some time to cultivate it, which will take about two days. It just so happens that this time is quite fitting. When you completely cure the child, I can give you the Jianghuang, so our transaction will be quite fair."
"Then it's settled. I need to be in a private space with the child. Just put any food or anything outside. Don't disturb us. I must guarantee that I will be in complete seclusion for these two days. If I am disturbed, the treatment effect will not be very good, and it will greatly reduce the treatment effect!"
Now, whatever Lin Xue said was like a decree to Old Mrs. Jiang. Old Mrs. Jiang was about to take out a notebook and write it down, listening very attentively.
"Miss, don't worry. As long as I, this old woman, am here, I will protect you. Because I have to do it for my grandson, you must trust me. I am definitely not someone who goes back on her word."
Old Mrs. Jiang still had some authority, and for her grandson, she wouldn't play any tricks. Since this was the case, they should just trust each other.
"Alright, the deal is done. Let's not waste any more time. That's it. Let's proceed quickly according to this plan."
Ye Tiancheng was the most anxious. When he was an ordinary person before, he didn't feel anything wrong. But now that he had no spiritual power, he felt a bit unable to adapt. To regain his previous rhythm, he had to find a way.
Soon, the plan began to be implemented, and everything went smoothly. Just as it was about to end in half an hour, unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Ye Tiancheng suddenly saw Ouyang Xinnuo appear. This was not a good person. Once this person appeared, there would be no good things.
"What are you doing here!"
"If your strength were greater than mine, you could deal with me directly instead of shouting here!"
Ouyang Xinnuo's eyes were full of contempt. Facing Ye Tiancheng now, he felt disdain in his heart, and his mouth was full of sarcasm.
"What are you doing here? You'd better be direct and don't waste my time here. I have a really bad temper."
As soon as Ye Tiancheng finished speaking, Ouyang Xinnuo made a move. Ye Tiancheng felt a burning pain all over his body, and he couldn't tell where it hurt. He felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be crushed.
"If it hurts, you can cry out. You don't have to force yourself. I know you're in a lot of pain. This is the price you pay as a weakling. No matter what, you deserve it. It won't be long before you die."
Ouyang Xinnuo was already very arrogant. Before he finished speaking, he attacked again.
He felt the impact once more, which was even more painful than before. After a mouthful of腥甜, Ye Tiancheng even spat out a mouthful of blood.
The gust of bloody air surprised Ouyang Xinnuo, "Heavens, am I seeing correctly? How have you become so weak? With just a slight move from me, you actually spit blood? And to be honest, I am also in a state of depleted true qi. If I were in my prime, I fear you would have lost your life with this move."
After speaking, Ouyang Xinnuo started laughing loudly again. Logically speaking, Ye Tiancheng really hated such despicable people. Seeing him laugh, he wished he could kill him, but now he had no choice. His strength was completely suppressed, and he could only surrender obediently, otherwise, he couldn't resist.
"I knew it. You traveled so far to cause trouble. I didn't want to waste time on a loser like you, but Su Muxian didn't keep her promise and ran away before marrying me. Do you think I can swallow this?"
"You're saying Su Muxian ran away!"
Although he was in great pain now, hearing someone say that Su Muxian had run away, Ye Tiancheng was naturally overjoyed. Such a good girl, if she really married Ouyang Xinnuo, it would be a waste of such a good girl.
"You two have been lying to me. If it weren't for Su Muxian, I wouldn't have chosen to believe you. You are disgusting. To lie to me like this, you are truly audacious."
It was obvious now that Ouyang Xinnuo was really angry. If he weren't very angry, he probably wouldn't have chased all the way here like a resentful woman complaining a lot. Clearly, he was still unhappy.
"You don't have to talk nonsense to me. So what if I lied to you? If you have the ability, kill me!"
Ye Tiancheng wasn't being tough himself, but even if he didn't say that, the other party wouldn't let him go. It was better to save some face for himself.
"Don't worry, I'm here to kill you today. I've had many opportunities before, and today I'm ready to make a move. Die!"
A circle of black energy wrapped around Ye Tiancheng's neck, and then the black energy quickly rose into the sky, lifting Ye Tiancheng into the air, just like hanging himself. To break free from the current predicament, even though he knew he couldn't break free, Ye Tiancheng kept kicking his legs, trying to make it a little easier, and to die with less pain.
Ye Tiancheng felt as if his soul was about to leave his body. He had never experienced such a feeling before. If he had to say it, it was probably a near-death experience.
He felt his memories from birth to the present flashing by like a revolving lantern in reverse order, making him feel no pain for a moment, but rather a sense of relaxation. Ye Tiancheng had heard others say before that this feeling was like going to the west.
Just as his memories reached childhood, Ye Tiancheng rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth.
Just as he was about to die, at the critical moment, a surge of true qi permeated the surroundings. That surge of true qi instantly dispelled the black energy. Ye Tiancheng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes blood-red, almost about to bleed.
His entire body exuded a powerful true qi, directly blasting the person away. Ouyang Xinnuo, who was still in the advantageous position just now, was now lying on the ground, motionless, as if he were dead.
"How did you suddenly become so powerful? Didn't you become a normal person and have no true qi in your body?"
Ouyang Xinnuo was very surprised. Just now, Ye Tiancheng looked like he was about to die, but now he had suddenly regained his vitality. It was really shocking, and he didn't know what had happened in between.
At this moment, Lin Xue came out of seclusion. She happened to see Ouyang Xinnuo lying on the ground. Without letting the guy say more, she struck again with a burst of spiritual energy, knocking out his teeth.
"Master, are you alright? I didn't expect this person to attack Master while I was in seclusion."
Lin Xue was very angry. After speaking, she attacked Ouyang Xinnuo again. After these two days of seclusion, Lin Xue's spiritual energy had greatly increased. Moreover, Ouyang Xinnuo had already been injured by Ye Tiancheng, so this move directly beat him half to death.
"Master, this scourge has been around for too long. I think my senior brother and I are too kind. We should have acted long ago, otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns. We were defeated by our own kindness."
There was already killing intent in Lin Xue's eyes. Lin Xue was originally a person who did not like to fight with others, but this Ouyang Xinnuo was too much. She had already endured it for long enough, and now there was no need to care so much. They could break ties directly.
"Killing him is not difficult, but I'm afraid it will dirty your hands. He and I have an irreconcilable hatred. I'll do it. Even though you are my disciple, you are still a girl, and girls are not suitable for such things."
Now, the relationship between Ye Tiancheng and Ouyang Xinnuo had long become a matter of life and death. Ye Tiancheng would no longer be so merciful. He would act when he should. It was not a time for softness.
A surge of true qi rose from Ye Tiancheng's dantian, then converged into a ball in his palm and shot out.
Ye Tiancheng aimed at Ouyang Xinnuo's chest. This was where a person's most important organ was hidden. Although it was wrapped in black energy, as long as Ye Tiancheng hit it, he would surely die.
As expected, the black energy was dispelled, accompanied by a painful howl. Ouyang Xinnuo lay on the ground motionless.
"Master, you've done enough. For such dirty work, as long as your disciple is here, you don't need to trouble yourself anymore."
After speaking, Lin Xue was about to check again. Even if the person wasn't completely dead, she had to find a way to make him completely dead so that he wouldn't come back to life later. This was the most annoying thing. She felt that such a wicked person should die immediately.
But before Lin Xue could get close, a mass of black energy suddenly descended from the sky. Wrapped by the black energy, Ouyang Xinnuo was taken into the sky and then disappeared before their eyes.
When they reacted and wanted to go, Lin Xue had read about this situation in a book and directly told her master not to waste any more effort, as they couldn't catch up. Ouyang Xinnuo was cunning and treacherous.
He had already thought it through. Well, he might encounter danger, so this ugly fellow deliberately set a trap. It was all a smokescreen. He had already left a way out and would not be easily killed.
"Then let's not chase. It's just that I don't understand why I suddenly recovered. Do I not need Jianghuang anymore? Did this Ouyang Xinnuo accidentally stimulate my energy?"
"You're overthinking it, Mr. Ye. I've been putting Jianghuang in your food all these days. The effect of Jianghuang is gradual. This is a secret of our Jiang family that no one else knows. We're afraid others will steal our things. If you eat it all at once, you will explode and die. This is also a lesson for those who steal our things."
