Hearing this, Chen Xin sighed.
"Please help me take care of him for a few days, Clan Head Ye. I cannot leave the sect for too long, and I am afraid I cannot stay here to wait for this little fellow to wake up."
"Here are some herbs, to be taken as the consultation fee for this trip."
With that, he took out all the herbs in his storage soul tool, and placing them on the stone table beside them, he ignored the other's refusal.
"Clan Head Ye, Rongrong has been frightened, and I also need to return to the sect to report back, so I will not disturb you any longer."
"There are 100,000 gold soul coins on this card. When he wakes up, please help me pass it on to him, just say it is some compensation from my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to him."
Facing Chen Xin's actions like this, although Ye Lanyi felt some displeasure in her heart, she did not retort.
As the sect-protecting elder of an upper three sects, his attitude toward human life was truly somewhat repulsive.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a moment, Chen Xin stepped on his flying sword and took Ning Rongrong back to the sect.
Seeing this, Ye Lanyi put away the herbs and walked back to the room.
The room was pitch quiet, with only the boy's even breathing.
The woman turned around and silently closed the door.
Turning back to look at the boy again, her gaze had already turned quite indifferent.
"They have already gone!"
The suddenly arriving voice was extremely gentle, just like a mild-tempered elder in the family, and anyone who heard it would feel that the other person was completely harmless.
Yet at this moment, Chen Xing's heart began to beat wildly and violently, his palms clenched tight, and he did not make any response.
Seeing that the boy still had no movement, Ye Lanyi walked up in front of him and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I have no malicious intent toward you, I'm just a bit curious."
"At six years old in bone age, your strength has already reached soul elder."
"And facing a Title Douluo's full-strength blow, you were actually still able to survive."
"Just what identity do you hold."
As she spoke, she made a motion to grab toward the ring in the opponent's hand.
Sure enough, the boy abruptly soared to his feet, dodging the woman's jade hand that wanted to probe.
He pressed tightly against the wall, wanting to maintain distance from the other person as much as possible.
This appearance amused even Ye Lanyi.
"Why are you so nervous? I said, I have no malicious intent toward you."
Actually, Chen Xing had already woken up back when Ye Lanyi released her Martial Soul Avatar to treat him.
Only, upon waking up, he suddenly felt that Sword Douluo did not seem to truly want to save him.
He could clearly sense that person held a faint hostility toward himself.
That was why he kept pretending to sleep, wanting to figure out the current situation.
Yet right now, seeing through him by the other, and with whether the newcomer was an enemy or friend yet unknown, he had to maintain vigilance.
Right now he regretted it to death!
Why did he have to go take that look? That person was the dignified little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who could even become a god in the end—was it his turn to go save her!
Ye Lanyi released a gentle strand of soul power, enveloping Chen Xing in the corner of the wall within it.
"Little fellow!"
"My name is Ye Lanyi, what is your name?"
"..."
Chen Xing was speechless.
I'm afraid of exposing my identity, not an idiot...
Her whole routine of coaxing a child flowed like running water, making even Chen Xing feel somewhat awkward.
"Uh... can you let me go now?"
"I feel my injuries are already pretty much fine..."
Seeing the boy had yet to completely let down his guard, the corners of Ye Lanyi's lips curved in a smile as she spoke.
"I am your savior, you know!"
"You aren't going to thank me, and you're not even going to pay the medical fees?"
Chen Xing secretly calculated the other's intentions in his heart; it was very obvious this person had already perceived that his identity seemed somewhat amiss, or else she wouldn't have directly checked his ring.
The Ye Clan, Ye Lanyi.
She should be the possessor of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, the mother of Ye Lingling.
In his memories, although this pair of mother and daughter had no great fame, as the number-one healing-type martial soul in the entire continent, their strength and foundation certainly wouldn't be simple.
Who was to say that right now, a large number of combat-type soul masters were surrounding this room?
As long as the other party confirmed his soul beast identity, she would strike without the slightest hesitation.
"This humble one is Chen Xing!"
"Many thanks to Clan Head Ye for the grace of saving my life. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will surely shatter my bones to repay it."
"It's just that right now I truly don't have anything valuable on me, so might you be so kind as to let me go first."
Chen Xing didn't even dare to mention those herbs and the black card given by Sword Douluo, for fear that the person across from him would kill him to silence him for the sake of reputation.
Right now, as long as he made the other person feel that this trip was not at a loss, then there was still a path to survival.
He hadn't expected that this ring could even evade Sword Douluo's perception, yet couldn't evade this Ye Lanyi!
The person opposite saw Chen Xing speak up, a trace of slyness flashing in her eyes.
"Who says you don't have anything valuable!"
"I think that ring on your hand is quite good. Give it to me, and I'll let you go today."
"Otherwise, you'll have to settle the medical bill!"
Sure enough, this person had definitely perceived the clues.
Chen Xing did not know that the Ye Clan's inherited martial soul, Nine Heart Begonia, was extremely acute in perceiving life aura.
Recently, the things he had eaten were indeed a bit too good.
A hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone, dozens of blocks of whale rubber, three thousand-year soul rings, and Ah Yin's bloodline bestowal.
All kinds of fortuitous encounters caused the body of this six-year-old boy to store extremely majestic vitality!
That sword strike from Sword Douluo—even without Ye Lanyi's treatment, Chen Xing would not have lost his life!
Just when he was sent over, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone had already passively repaired a small portion of Chen Xing's injuries.
This point was very acutely captured by her, the possessor of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.
Moreover, just now while observing the boy, besides his clothes, the person had only a single ring left on his entire body, plus a bracelet.
Right when she wanted to see what was going on with this ring, the boy who was pretending to sleep suddenly burst into action, which happened to corroborate her thoughts.
Whether it was the boy or the ring, both were freakish!
"Someone come!"
As the words fell, the door was pushed open in the blink of an eye.
Several figures rushed into the room.
"Clan Head!"
Chen Xing looked around him.
Six people!
Three soul elders! Three soul ancestors!
This was merely the current lineup; with a massive Ye Clan, there surely were even higher-tier combat forces.
Wanting to escape relying on his current physical state was somewhat unrealistic.
Unless he took advantage of the other's inattention and used the soul bone's flight skill, but that would definitely expose the soul bone, and at that time he really would become the target of public criticism.
While pondering, Chen Xing had already summoned his martial soul.
Purple Imperial Bamboo came to hand.
Two yellow and one purple—three soul rings that had been disguised—floated up in unison, slowly revolving at Chen Xing's feet.
"Clan Head Ye!"
"If you let me leave today, I, Chen Xing, will certainly remember your kindness."
[Second Soul Skill: Purple Imperial Sword Domain]
Though speaking soft words, Chen Xing's movements were extremely brisk, directly activating his second soul skill to envelop everyone.
If the other party truly was bent on seizing the ring, he would simply have to put up a desperate fight.
At worst, he would hide in the Blue Silver Forest in the future!
Ye Lanyi's pair of beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, sizing up this "little tiger."
She hadn't expected this boy to be so stubborn; facing several powerhouses, he actually directly displayed his martial soul!
Yet the more the other was like this, the more she wanted to pry into the other's secret.
At a mere six years old, that kind of pure life aura was incomparably majestic, making even her, a Nine Heart Begonia soul master, crave it intensely.
If she could investigate thoroughly, perhaps the curse that had bound the Ye Clan for thousands of years would have hope of being broken...
Just as the atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, a report suddenly came from outside the door!
"The Third Prince has arrived!"
