547: Chapter 547: The Truth is About to Surface 547: Chapter 547: The Truth is About to Surface After taking three deep breaths and slowly exhaling, Ye Chenfeng finally stabilized his emotions.
The murderous aura on his body gradually dispersed.
Ignoring the still petrified members of the Bais, he turned to the dazed Bai Xueling and said, “We can go in to see Elder Bai in the ward now.”
Ye Chenfeng was the first to step into the ward, with Bai Xueling following right behind him.
Bai Yanping and the rest of the Bais didn’t even have the courage to stop them, firmly believing that if they dared to block the way again, Ye Chenfeng would definitely cripple them without any mercy.
“Yanjun, we’re in big trouble now.
If they notice anything wrong with the old man, this could blow up.
By that time, I’m afraid we’re all going to be in deep trouble,” Bai Yanping said with a deeply furrowed brow, his face reflecting his worry.
“Even the hospital’s sophisticated equipment couldn’t find anything wrong with the old man.
I don’t believe that Bai Xueling and Ye Chenfeng would notice the strangeness about him,” Bai Yanjun said, although he too was extremely anxious.
In Elder Bai’s VIP ward, the light was very dim.
As Ye Chenfeng entered the room, he immediately pulled open the blue curtains, and the bright, warm sunlight instantly filled the ward.
On the hospital bed, Elder Bai’s eyes were tightly shut and his face was very pale, looking like a corpse that had been dead for many days, save for the faint breathing coming from his nose.
Bai Xueling’s eyes were fixed on Elder Bai lying on the bed; a mist seemed to appear and disappear in her eyes.
She bit her lips tightly, with so much force that threads of fresh blood started trickling down from the corners of her mouth.
Tears, like floodwaters breaking through a dam, streamed uncontrollably from Bai Xueling’s eyes.
Ever since she was a child, her grandfather had doted on her greatly, so her feelings for Elder Bai were very deep.
She hurried to the bedside, crouched down, took Elder Bai’s rough and dry hand, and let her tears fall on it as they slid down her cheeks.
“Grandfather, Grandfather, please wake up, please wake up.
Don’t you know the Bais are in complete disarray without you?
I know that if this continues, our family’s foundation of many years will definitely be destroyed,” Bai Xueling sobbed softly.
Standing on the side with nothing to do, Ye Chenfeng’s hands somehow came to hold two blue-covered books, which he had snatched from Wu Yonghui.
Ye Chenfeng was interested in the objects of the Ancient Martial World, especially since he had noticed Wu Yonghui had two blue-covered books on his person when he dealt with him.
On the covers of the two blue books, “Xuantian Step Technique” and “Turtle Breathing Technique” were written.
At first glance, these two blue-covered books appeared to be cultivation manuals.
The Xuantian Step Technique was probably the special footwork Wu Yonghui had demonstrated earlier.
The Turtle Breathing Technique was also a very ancient martial art.
With nothing better to do, Ye Chenfeng skimmed through the Turtle Breathing Technique.
The Turtle Breathing Technique was divided into two levels.
If one mastered the first level, one could enter a state of suspended animation at will, with all bodily functions temporarily halting.
Mastering the second level allowed one to minimize the functioning of all bodily parts even while moving, virtually merging with the air around, making one invisible to even the most exceptional masters.
With the Turtle Breathing Technique at the second level, the cultivator would definitely become an assassination expert.
“This is actually quite an interesting art,” Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself.
As he flipped to the last page of the “Turtle Breathing Technique,” he saw written: “Caution is needed when cultivating the Turtle Breathing Technique.
Among a thousand people, only one can master it, and failure to do so results in death!”
Looking at the word “death” written in striking blood-red ink, Ye Chenfeng immediately lost interest in the Turtle Breathing Technique.
Out of a thousand people, only one could master it, and failure meant death?
Chenfeng wasn’t about to take such a massive risk for a worthless trick!
At least, he was definitely not going to cultivate it at the moment.
After closing the manual of the Turtle Breathing Technique, Ye Chenfeng planned to look through the Xuantian Step Technique, but at that moment, Bai Xueling, with red eyes, approached him.
Her lips quivered slightly as she said, “Ye Chenfeng, could you please help me see what’s wrong with my grandfather? Check latest chapters at novel✶fire.net
I’m begging you, I truly am.”
Deep inside, Ye Chenfeng sighed heavily, looking at Bai Xueling’s pitiful state and thinking to himself, “Ye Chenfeng, oh Ye Chenfeng!
It looks like you’re going to play the good Samaritan once again, just for Wanting’s sake!”
After stuffing the two secret martial arts manuals he had filched from Wu Yonghui into his pocket, Ye Chenfeng said, “Bai Xueling, this is the last time I am helping the Bais, there won’t be a next time.”
With tears in her eyes, Bai Xueling nodded vigorously and said, “Ye Chenfeng, thank you, thank you, there absolutely won’t be a next time.”
Ye Chenfeng walked to the bedside, pressed his right palm against Elder Bai’s chest, and a gentle Soul Force flowed through his palm into Elder Bai’s body.
As the Soul Force meandered inside Elder Bai, Ye Chenfeng’s usually lazy expression turned serious, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
After a moment, he removed his hand from Elder Bai’s chest.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Bai Xueling, who was anxiously waiting by the side, and said, “If I am not mistaken, your grandfather’s coma isn’t due to natural health issues but because he has been poisoned with a potent toxin.
All his organs are gradually failing, and in no more than six days, he will lose all signs of life.”
Bai Xueling’s mind went blank in an instant.
How could her grandfather be poisoned?
How was that possible?
If it really was poisoning, then who could the perpetrator be?
The figures of Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun and others appeared in her mind, but she shook her head vehemently, unwilling to accept this reality.
While Bai Xueling struggled with her thoughts, Ye Chenfeng also pondered on his own: “To expel the toxins from Elder Bai’s body, at the very least half of my Soul Force would be consumed.
This indicates that the toxin is not something an ordinary person could deal with.
Since Elder Bai fell into a coma, the Bais have been getting very close to the Songs, so it’s very likely that the entire matter is related to the Songs.”
“Moreover, why is there a connection between the Songs and the Ancient Martial World?
Are the Songs involved in my parents’ car accident?
It seems that if I want the truth to rise to the surface on its own, I must get involved in this matter.”
After snapping out of his thoughts, Ye Chenfeng looked at the distraught Bai Xueling and said, “What do you think?
Do you want to save your grandfather?
I’ve said that this will be the last time I help the Bais, and you probably have a clear idea of who is most likely to have poisoned him, right?”
Bai Xueling gasped heavily, if her two uncles, Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun, really were the ones who had poisoned her grandfather, then they were truly depraved.
“Ye Chenfeng, can you save my grandfather?” Bai Xueling knew now was not the time for accusations, what mattered most was rousing her grandfather.
“Mhm,” Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, “We should take Elder Bai back to the Yes for treatment now; it’s inconvenient here.
Besides, I need to prepare some medicinal ingredients.
For Ye Chenfeng to expel the poison from Elder Bai’s body, it actually would only require the consumption of half his Soul Force, but if he could comine the use of some medicinal ingredients, the consumption of his Soul Force would be greatly reduced.
For Ye Chenfeng, utilizing Soul Force was quite draining.
Since there was a way to lessen the consumption of Soul Force while eliminating the toxin from Elder Bai’s body, Ye Chenfeng thought, why not do it?
Moreover, the reason he intended to bring Elder Bai back to the Yes for treatment was to draw out the perpetrator behind the scenes; he wanted to confirm whether the Songs had any connection to his parents’ car accident.
Clenching his fists tightly, Ye Chenfeng harbored an indescribable emotion in his heart; he was not willing to let go of any chance to find out the real culprit behind his parents’ car accident.
Would the Songs be lured out by Ye Chenfeng’s scheme?
Is the truth about to come to light?
