Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Unease

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wasn't trying to attack Lin Ye; it was a subconscious probe.

The detection of Spirit Power is invisible and intangible; it cannot be detected unless one encounters someone of the same level.

This trick never fails. Apart from the old man in front of the freshman dormitory who dared not use it, even the dean of the Outer Court, Yan Shaozhe, was completely exposed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

But when he tried to use the same trick again, he was thwarted, which surprised, astonished, and made him a little frightened.

It shook its head, its tone grave. "Strange, really strange! I've never seen anything so eerie before."

This kid's cultivation level doesn't seem high, but his Spirit Power is completely enveloped by something. You can't even touch the edge of it, let alone probe its depth!

"Not only his Spirit Power, but his Soul Power is also very strange."

"And..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued, "This kid is no simple character. You should stay away from him. He's unfathomable; you can't tell if he's friend or foe. It's too dangerous."

Huo Yuhao's heart was filled with turmoil.

What is the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm? It is Million-Year Soul Beast, and its Spirit Power is so strong that even Titled Douluo might not be able to match it.

Even it can't see through Lin Ye? Then what exactly is Lin Ye's background?

He suppressed the shock in his heart and pretended to be nonchalant as he talked to Xiao Xiao, but his eyes were always watching Lin Ye's movements out of the corner of his eye.

The other person leaned casually against the bedside table, tapped the wooden surface absentmindedly, and smiled nonchalantly, as if they were just an ordinary classmate visiting someone in the hospital.

But the more this happened, the more wary Huo Yuhao became.

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.

He and Lin Ye were practically strangers, they'd barely exchanged three proper words. Why would the other party suddenly be so kind?

Lin Ye stood by the bed, taking in the fleeting wariness and astonishment in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and chuckled inwardly.

It's obvious that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is frantically pacing around in her Spirit Sea right now, desperately trying to warn Huo Yuhao to be careful.

Unfortunately, even if it's Million-Year Soul Beast, it can't possibly see through its own secrets.

With the system around, let alone a giant insect that has been dormant for millions of years, even Ultimate Douluo himself might not be able to figure out his true strength.

He found it even more amusing to watch Huo Yuhao's pale face and forced composure.

This so-called Child of Destiny destiny, who has always been the one to play dumb and outmaneuver others, when has he ever been so passive?

Lin Ye's gaze swept over the medicine bottles on the bedside table, and he reached out and picked up a bottle of liniment for bruises and sprains.

He reached out, unscrewed the cap, and smelled it. Then he frowned, his tone slightly disdainful. "This medicine from the infirmary isn't very effective. It's slow to remove blood stasis and tends to leave marks."

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and pulled out a palm-sized jade bottle from his Storage Soul Guidance Device, gently placing it on the bedside table with a crisp, soft sound.

Seeing Huo Yuhao, Lin Ye smiled and said, "Take this and apply it to the injury once in the morning and once at night. It will make the bone fracture heal twice as fast."

Huo Yuhao stared at the warm, smooth jade bottle, hesitant to touch it, and said, "This... no need, Lin Ye. The medicine from the infirmary is fine enough. I can't accept something too expensive."

"Take it if I tell you to."

Lin Ye's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority. "We're classmates, I can't just watch you fall behind in your studies."

The Freshman Tournament is just around the corner. If you keep lying down, how are we going to win first place?

He spoke with such high-sounding conviction, as if he were truly only concerned with the honor of the class.

But the alarm bells in Huo Yuhao's mind were ringing even louder.

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.

Is there something wrong with this medicine?

Within the Sea of Spirit, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately bristled. "Don't take it! Who knows if they've tampered with it! This person's intentions are unpredictable; what if they've given us some insidious medicine? We'll have nowhere to turn for help!"

Huo Yuhao was about to decline when he saw Lin Ye withdraw his hand, glance at him, and say with a half-smile, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. I wouldn't resort to such underhanded methods to deal with an injured person. Besides, we've known each other for a long time. Don't you trust me?"

He seemed to see right through Huo Yuhao's thoughts, and his words made Huo Yuhao's face flush, making him appear petty.

He pursed his lips awkwardly, and finally whispered, "... Thank you, Lin Ye."

Ning Tian, who was standing next to him, almost couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Ye was too ruthless, directly exposing the other person's guard.

She finally understood that Lin Ye hadn't come to visit her in the hospital at all; he had come specifically to tease the cat. Seeing the cat's fur standing on end but not daring to retaliate, he was probably secretly overjoyed.

Wang Dong'er also turned her face slightly to hide the fleeting smile in her eyes.

She had known Lin Ye was cunning for a long time, but she hadn't expected him to have such a wicked sense of humor.

Xiao Xiao, standing nearby, nodded in agreement with a serious expression, "Yes, yes, Brother Lin Ye's medicine must be good! Huo Yuhao, you should accept it quickly so you can get better soon and we can cultivate together again."

The little girl was completely oblivious to the undercurrents in the atmosphere and was still enthusiastically giving instructions on various precautions.

One minute she's saying she can't touch water, the next she's saying she should eat more things that nourish her blood and qi; her little mouth keeps chattering away.

Lin Ye leaned against the side and listened, occasionally interjecting a word or two. His tone was calm, but he always managed to pinpoint Huo Yuhao's sensitive spots. Watching the other man quietly clench and unclench the sheets, Lin Ye's interest grew even stronger.

After sitting for about fifteen minutes, Lin Ye figured the time was about right and said, "Alright, let him rest well. We should go too. Talking too much is tiring and not good for his recovery."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao realized she had been talking for too long, quickly covered her mouth, and waved to Huo Yuhao, "Then we'll go first! You get some sleep and rest."

Huo Yuhao gave a slight smile and thanked him softly, "Thank you, Xiao Xiao."

"No trouble at all!"

Xiao Xiao waved her hand and followed Lin Ye and the others outside.

As Lin Ye reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back.

They happened to meet Huo Yuhao's gaze, which he had subconsciously turned to look at.

Lin Ye's lips curled slightly into a meaningful smile, then he turned around, closed the door, and left.

After a soft click of the door, the ward returned to silence.

Huo Yuhao leaned against the pillows, remaining motionless for Jiujiu.

Lin Ye's smile just now felt like a fine needle, gently pricking his heart and making him feel uneasy all over.

He turned his head to look at the mutton-fat jade bottle on the bedside table, reached out and picked it up. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, but it was as if he were holding a branding iron.

"Yuhao, listen to your brother, stay away from Lin Ye from now on, the farther the better."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out again, his tone exceptionally serious. "This person is too strange. I tried to probe him three times just now, and each time I was bounced back. I didn't even figure out his Soul Power Level."
