Ye Guichen had no interest in the upcoming academic exchange.
He knew that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven crazy by Professor John and Wang Jinglun, those two old men.
Seizing a moment when the two weren’t paying attention, Ye Guichen snuck out.
However, he didn’t leave immediately but quietly followed Wu Caijun, whose body was covered in the strange lesions.
Neither Professor John nor Wang Jinglun knew how these lesions came about, though they were aware of their existence.
Such things weren’t documented in any books.
Since he could walk, Ye Guichen had traveled far and wide with his mentor Li Fengxian, studying medicine. Not only had he gone to Bermuda to dig for sea cucumbers, but he had also ventured into the valleys to find Lingzhi. He had been to many places considered taboo by ordinary people.
Because of this, Ye Guichen had seen many things beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Take these lesions for example, some ancient texts only recorded that they were fungal infections, but none mentioned that the fungus came from a type of snake.
Ordinary snakes naturally didn’t have such potent toxicity, but there was a type of two-headed snake. If one were to be touched by its tongue, these lesions would sprout all over their body.
But these snakes were extremely rare, as rare as the white wolf that was with Ye Guichen when Li Fengxian first found him.
Because of this, Ye Guichen was naturally very interested.
Maybe finding this rare two-headed snake would be helpful in uncovering his own past.
After leaving the hotel, Wu Caijun wrapped himself up and hurriedly got into a taxi.
Ye Guichen didn’t say anything. He hopped on a shared bicycle by the roadside and followed behind the taxi.
Then, an astonishing scene occurred.
A shared bicycle was seen hitting speeds of 80 km/h, weaving through traffic.
Many people took out their phones to record it, but Ye Guichen was so fast that no one could capture his face.
"Wow, the bicycle is flying!" A female livestreamer was walking along the road when she suddenly felt a gust of wind. She turned her head and screamed.
"Guys, look quickly, am I seeing things?"
The female livestreamer quickly aimed her camera at Ye Guichen’s back.
The comments exploded.
Loving_to_eat_crap: 666, anchor, these effects are amazing!
I’m_your_dad: Anchor, your effects are better than those in "Martial World".
Sunny_with_no_umbrella: My ideal man is a prince on a white horse. One day, he will come to marry me on a shared bicycle...
Ye Guichen had no idea that his unintentional act had caused an online frenzy.
About forty minutes later, Ye Guichen followed Wu Caijun into a village within Yun City.
This village was slated for demolition. A large area had already been torn down, but a significant portion was still under negotiation.
Getting off the shared bicycle, Ye Guichen looked around and saw a crowd not far away, with two excavators and a noisy dispute taking place.
"You can’t demolish any more, Mr. Wu got these strange lesions because of you."
"That’s right, Mr. Wu’s life is still uncertain."
After getting out of the car, Wu Caijun noticed the argument and hurried over.
Ye Guichen hesitated for a moment but quickened his pace, heading toward the crowd and squeezing his way in.
The crowd was divided into two groups—one consisted of the demolition team, while the other was presumably local residents.
The residents, holding sticks and shovels, stood in front of the excavators. Behind them was a small house that looked like a Land God Temple.
In front of the excavators was a group of fierce-looking men wielding steel pipes. The leader was shirtless, with a tattoo of a tiger on his chest.
