Nine Heart Begonia! Ye Lanyi's Intuition

Hearing this, Chen Xin sighed.

"I must trouble the Ye Clan head to look after him for a few days. I cannot leave the sect for too long, so I fear I cannot wait here for this little fellow to wake up."

"Here are some medicinal herbs; please accept them as payment for the treatment."

As he spoke, he took all the herbs out of his storage Soul Tool and, ignoring the other party's refusal, placed them on the stone table nearby.

"Clan Head Ye, Rongrong has been quite shaken, and I must return to the sect to report. I shall not impose any longer."

"This card contains 100,000 Gold Soul Coins. When he wakes up, I would appreciate it if you could pass it to him and tell him it is a form of compensation from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Faced with Chen Xin's actions, Ye Lanyi felt a flicker of displeasure, though she did not voice any rebuttal.

As a guardian elder of one of the Upper Three Sects, his attitude toward human life was truly quite off-putting.

After the two exchanged a few brief pleasantries, Chen Xin stepped onto his flying sword and took Ning Rongrong back to the sect.

Seeing this, Ye Lanyi gathered the herbs and walked back into the room.

The room was silent, save for the steady, rhythmic breathing of the youth.

The woman turned around and quietly closed the door.

When she looked back at the youth, her gaze had turned remarkably cold.

"They have already left!"

The voice that suddenly broke the silence was soft, much like a gentle elder of the family; anyone hearing it would assume the speaker posed no threat at all.

Yet at this moment, Chen Xing's heart began to pound violently, his palms clenched tight, and he did not offer any response.

Seeing that the youth still did not move, Ye Lanyi walked up to him and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I bear you no ill will; I am simply curious."

"At a bone age of six, your strength has already reached that of a Soul Elder."

"And to think you actually survived a full-power strike from a Title Douluo."

"What exactly is your identity?"

As she spoke, she made a move to snatch at the ring on the boy's hand.

Sure enough, the youth bolted upright, dodging the woman's probing hand.

He pressed himself hard against the wall, trying to maintain as much distance as possible.

This reaction actually made Ye Lanyi chuckle.

"Why are you so nervous? I told you, I bear you no ill will."

In truth, Chen Xing had already woken up when Ye Lanyi released her Martial Soul Avatar to treat him.

It was just that upon waking, he suddenly felt that Sword Douluo had not been entirely sincere about saving him.

He could clearly sense a faint trace of hostility from that man.

That was why he had kept pretending to be asleep, hoping to get a grasp on the current situation.

But now that he had been exposed, and with it still unclear whether this woman was friend or foe, he had to remain vigilant.

He regretted his actions so much right now!

Why did he have to go and take that look? The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would eventually become a god; she hardly needed him to save her!

Ye Lanyi released a gentle wave of soul power, enveloping Chen Xing in the corner.

"Little one!"

"My name is Ye Lanyi. What is your name?"

"..."

Chen Xing was speechless.

I'm afraid of revealing my identity, not an idiot...

Her practiced, fluid motions of coaxing a child made Chen Xing feel quite awkward.

"Uh... could you let me go now?"

"I feel like my injuries are no longer a problem..."

Seeing that the youth had not yet completely lowered his guard, Ye Lanyi curled her lips into a smile and said.

"I am your savior, you know!"

"If you aren't going to repay me, are you at least going to pay the medical fees?"

Chen Xing secretly calculated the woman's intentions. It was obvious she had sensed something was off about his identity; otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to inspect his ring directly.

The Ye Clan, Ye Lanyi.

She should be the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul and the mother of Ye Lingling.

In his memories, while this mother-daughter pair wasn't particularly famous, as the possessors of the continent's number one healing Martial Soul, their strength and background certainly wouldn't be simple.

For all he knew, there could be a large group of combat-type soul masters surrounding this house right now.

As long as the other party confirmed his identity as a spirit beast, they would strike without the slightest hesitation.

"I am Chen Xing!"

"Many thanks to the Ye Clan head for saving my life; if there is an opportunity in the future, I will certainly repay you even at the cost of my life."

"It is just that, at the moment, I truly do not have anything valuable on me. Why don't you be kind and let me go first?"

Chen Xing did not even dare to mention the medicinal herbs or the black card given by Sword Douluo, fearing that the person opposite him might kill him to silence him for the sake of reputation.

Right now, as long as he could make the other party feel that this trip was not a loss, there would still be a way to survive.

He had not expected that while this ring could evade even the perception of Sword Douluo, it could not hide from Ye Lanyi!

The person opposite saw Chen Xing speak, and a flash of craftiness crossed her eyes.

"Who says you don't have anything valuable!"

"I think that ring on your finger is quite good. Give it to me, and I will let you go today."

"Otherwise, you will have to settle the medical expenses!"

Sure enough, this person had definitely sensed something amiss.

Chen Xing did not know that the inherited spirit of the Ye Clan, the Nine Heart Begonia, was extremely sensitive to the aura of life.

He had truly been eating too well these past few days.

The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, dozens of pieces of Whale Rubber, three thousand-year spirit rings, and the bloodline gift from Ah Yin.

All these fortuitous encounters had allowed this six-year-old boy's body to store a truly immense amount of vitality!

Even without Ye Lanyi's treatment, Chen Xing would not have died from that strike by Sword Douluo!

When he was first brought over, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had already passively repaired a small portion of Chen Xing's injuries.

This point had been very keenly captured by her, the possessor of the Nine Heart Begonia spirit.

Moreover, while observing the boy just now, she noticed that apart from his clothes, he only had a ring and a bracelet on his entire body.

Just as she wanted to see what was going on with this ring, the boy who was pretending to be asleep suddenly erupted, which happened to confirm her suspicions.

Both the boy and the ring were strange!

"Someone, come here!"

As the words fell, the door was pushed open in an instant.

Several figures rushed into the room.

"Clan Head!"

Chen Xing scanned his surroundings.

Six people!

Three Soul Elders! Three Soul Ancestors!

This was just the current lineup; the vast Ye Clan surely possessed even higher-tier combat power.

Trying to escape in his current physical state was somewhat unrealistic.

Unless he took advantage of their lack of attention to use the flight skill of his spirit bone, but that would certainly expose the spirit bone, and he would truly become a target for everyone then.

While pondering, Chen Xing had already summoned his spirit.

The Purple Imperial Bamboo was in his hand.

Two yellow and one purple spirit ring, which had been disguised, appeared in unison, rhythmically pulsing beneath Chen Xing's feet.

"Ye Clan head!"

"If you let me leave today, I, Chen Xing, will certainly remember your kindness."

[Second Spirit Skill: Purple Imperial Sword Domain]

While his words were soft, Chen Xing's movements were very crisp; he directly activated his second spirit skill, enveloping everyone within it.

If the other party was truly determined to seize the ring, he would have no choice but to fight back.

At worst, he would just hide in the Blue Silver Forest in the future!

Ye Lanyi narrowed her beautiful eyes, sizing up this "little tiger."

She had not expected this boy to be so stubborn, actually revealing his spirit in the face of several experts!

But the more he acted this way, the more she wanted to pry into his secrets.

At only six years old, that pure aura of life was so immense that even she, a Nine Heart Begonia spirit master, was drawn to it.

If she could get to the bottom of it, perhaps there would be hope to break the curse that had bound the Ye Clan for thousands of years...

Just as the atmosphere became tense, a report suddenly came from outside the door!

"The Third Prince has arrived!"
