They were worried about Wei Ying’s mother, so they insisted on going to the hospital for a check-up.
However, surprisingly, the check-up revealed that she was perfectly fine. Other than a few dislocated bones and a low blood cell count due to the loss of blood, she was A-okay!
Wei Ying and Wei Yongming were shocked. They wanted to do a scan to confirm that she was fine, but they were chased out by the doctor.
As they drove back, their expressions were as strange as could be, and they constantly glanced at Ye Chen with incredulity.
Wei Ying’s mother was a little different, as she knew a little bit about the martial world.
She was sure that Ye Chen was one of those legendary experts. Although she did not know why he had become a professor at Capital City University, it was no longer important. An expert like Ye Chen could not be offended!
Wei Ying had ten thousand questions in her heart, but every time she wanted to ask Ye Chen about what happened, her mother shut her down with a look.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask,” her mother said softly.
When they arrived back at their house, Wei Ying’s mother found out that Ye Chen had not eaten yet and immediately said, “Old Wei, Ying’er, go and make some food. I have something to discuss with Senior.”
Wei Ying rolled her eyes at her mother.
“Mom, he’s my colleague, you know. There’s no need to be so secretive. Why can’t I listen too?”
“Don’t interrupt adults’ matters,” her mother scolded her.
Helpless, Wei Ying could only stick out her tongue and head to the kitchen.
“Senior, please follow me,” Wei Ying’s mother brought Ye Chen to the study, which had a number of antiques and a row of old books.
Ye Chen glanced at the books and realized that they were all about the Eight Trigrams School.
As if sensing Ye Chen’s gaze, she explained, “More than ten years ago, I met a woman who changed my fate. She took me in as her disciple, taught me martial arts, and allowed me to enter the Eight Trigrams School.”
“It’s a pity that she left after teaching me for a month. Still, I benefited a lot from that month of teaching. I’ve won countless awards for traditional martial arts, and could even defeat some ancient martial arts practitioners.”
“I thought I had touched the ceiling of martial arts and was eager to promote the Eight Trigrams School’s martial arts. However, it seems that my thoughts were too childish. The expert who challenged me today far exceeded my strength. I actually didn’t have the strength to resist at all!”
“If Senior hadn’t intervened, I would have died long ago.”
“Just now, Ying ‘er was here, so there were many things that I couldn’t say. I would like to thank Senior once again for your help!”
Ye Chen shook his head and took a step forward. A wave of air gathered beneath Wi Ying’s mother’s feet and lifted her off her knees.
“There’s no need to kneel. I took action because of Wei Ying and the Earth Soul Mystical Stone.”
“Earth Soul Mystical Stone….” she mumbled after hearing that, and immediately thought of something and quickly removed all of the books from the bookshelf.
There was a secret compartment behind the bookshelf.
Opening the secret compartment, she took out a brocade box.
“Senior, I didn’t know that this thing was called the Earth Soul Mystical Stone. Actually, a few years ago, the senior who once taught me the Eight Trigrams School’s cultivation technique appeared again. She was the one who gave me this thing, saying that my daughter needed to wear it to survive, so I took a part of it and made it into a necklace.”
Ye Chen took the brocade box and nodded.
“Your daughter possesses the Fiendish Blood Cold Physique, which is extremely rare.”
“Your daughter wouldn’t have lived past eighteen years old had it not been for this stone.”
Her expression changed drastically when she heard this.
Although she did not know what the Fiendish Blood Cold Physique was, Ye Chen’s serious tone was enough to inform her of the gravity of the situation.
“Senior, what if the Earth Soul Mystical Stone is unable to suppress that physique? Would something happen to my daughter?”
Her voice was trembling.
Ye Chen did not reply. He held his breath and opened the brocade box, after which a dense amount of spiritual energy overflowed from within.
A gorgeous crystal stone lay quietly inside…
It was the Earth Soul Mystical Stone!
At this moment, even though Ye Chen was mentally prepared, he could not control the excitement in his heart.
‘A treasure that is difficult to obtain even in the Kunlun Mountains, yet I actually obtained it in Huaxia! My luck is simply heaven-defying!’
Ye Chen sighed as he reached out and grabbed the Earth Soul Mystical Stone. In an instant, he could feel the black stone in his pocket vibrating intensely…
The Samsara Graveyard was shaking!
Two crisp sounds rang out, as the outer layer of the surface of the two tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard shattered, revealing two lines of words… “Spiritual Talisman Alliance, Ping Canghai!”
“Myriad Daos Swordmaster, Chen Tianli!”
Below Chen Tianli’s name, there were a few more lines…
“I have a sword that can shatter this world!”
“I have a sword that can cut through the mortal world!”
Ye Chen could feel that the aura surging from Chen Tianli’s tombstone was extremely terrifying, and there were even illusory swords floating around it.
Even the Dragonslayer Sword that was stored in the Samsara Graveyard began to tremble, as if it was resonating with some kind of power.
‘This Chen Tianli is probably stronger than Ping Canghai, but both of them are ancient mighty experts, so they should be able to help me deal with the Ghost Prison,’ Ye Chen thought to himself before turning to look at Wei Ying’s mother.
“I can tell you that the Earth Soul Mystical Stone is extremely precious. Just saving you alone is not enough to repay you. You can make three requests of me now. As long as it doesn’t go against my principles, I will agree to them.”
She was stunned. She knew that this Earth Soul Mystical Stone was extremely valuable, but she had not expected this.
After thinking for a while, she said, “Three requests is too many. I only have one request. I hope that my daughter can live healthily and not be disturbed by anything.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed and he said, “Wei Ying has a good personality. I don’t want to see her die prematurely either. I can only promise you that as long as I’m alive, no one can touch or harm her, including the Fiendish Blood Frost Physique.”
“If the Earth Soul Mystical Stone can’t suppress it, I’ll think of a way to save her.”
“There are still two requests.”
Wei Ying’s mother shook her head and said, “As a parent, I really don’t expect anything else other than this.””
Ye Chen thought for a moment and took out a bank card and set of keys from the Samsara Graveyard. It was the one that Dragon Soul had given him.”
“I don’t know how much money there is in this bank card, but it’s enough for your family to live well for the rest of your life. The password is six eights.”
“These keys are to a large residential property in a residential area in the center of the capital. The address and a door number are listed on the key.”
“You can’t refuse. If you don’t want it, I’ll just throw it away. No matter what, I gained a lot from this deal.”
Ye Chen’s tone left no room for argument..
