Chapter 36: Who Exactly Saved This Old Man?
As the young man’s consciousness gradually became hazy, he finally realized something.
He had been played!
His strength was greater than that of the bespectacled young man. He had been the final trump card sent to deal with Lei Qianjue. The bespectacled young man had inexplicably died at the hands of Yu Linglong, but before his death, he had also come into contact with Ye Fan.
And now he had fallen as well, because Ye Fan had just placed a hand on his shoulder!
He understood. Ye Fan must have done something to him.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Even if he knew the truth, there was nothing he could do to change the outcome.
Thud!
The checkered-shirt young man collapsed into a pool of blood.
The loud noise caused Lei Qianjue, whose eyes had already closed, to open them again. He looked down at his chest in confusion.
There were no injuries. Not even a wound.
He wasn't dead?
“What... happened...?” He hadn't died, while the assassin who had tried to kill him had suddenly been killed by his own hidden weapon?
At a distance of only one meter, what kind of miracle could possibly have happened?
Lei Qianjue looked around in bewilderment. Beside him were only the ordinary bodyguards arranged by Yu Linglong, and about two meters away stood Ye Fan, smiling foolishly.
“See? I told you not to bump into me. Look what happened to you! That's karma... Serves you right, serves you right...”
Looking at Ye Fan, there was no way he appeared to be the person who had just saved him.
Could one of the bodyguards have been a hidden expert who had suddenly rescued him?
Impossible!
Lei Qianjue knew the strength of those bodyguards very well. None of them possessed such ability.
Could it have been Ye Fan?
Lei Qianjue looked at Ye Fan suspiciously.
Five years ago, Ye Fan had been a peerless genius and had already reached the Grandmaster realm. But now he was in a foolish state.
Besides, even if Ye Fan had already recovered, at such a close distance, with the 'Pear Blossom Storm' attacking him, saving Lei Qianjue while escaping unharmed was something even a Grandmaster-level expert couldn't accomplish.
Unless he had already reached a realm above Martial Venerable...
But was that possible?
Moreover, Ye Fan had been standing so close to him. If he had made a move, Lei Qianjue himself was also a martial arts expert. How could he have failed to sense even the slightest fluctuation of martial energy?
Lei Qianjue quickly ruled out Ye Fan.
Then, apart from Ye Fan, the only person who could possibly have done it was Yu Linglong!
When Lei Qianjue turned his head toward Yu Linglong, however, he saw the same bewildered expression on her face.
Yu Linglong was still immersed in the shock of having killed a Grandmaster-level expert with a single move. How could she possibly have had the opportunity to rescue Lei Qianjue?
In the blink of an eye, another Grandmaster-level expert had actually killed himself with the 'Pear Blossom Storm'.
What was even more bizarre was that the man had first activated the 'Pear Blossom Storm', then quickly changed direction and rushed straight into the path of the poison needles, allowing himself to become a human target.
Was he insane?
This made absolutely no sense!
Yu Linglong was the first to react. She immediately rushed over to Ye Fan, grabbed his arm, and asked,
“Ye Fan! Tell me, have you already awakened? Have you been deceiving all of us?”
“If you dare lie to me, I'll chop you up!”
Ye Fan had originally been planning to confess everything to Yu Linglong, but the moment he heard this, he suddenly felt a chill between his legs and immediately swallowed those thoughts.
His first wife was rather fierce.
Some things could wait until later.
“Awaken? I only woke up this morning. Why do I have to wake up again? Linglong, my wife... Did you come all this way just to see me? Do you want to sleep with me?”
With an innocent expression, Ye Fan wrapped his arms around Yu Linglong's slender waist and leaned close to her.
Although Yu Linglong had been engaged to Ye Fan's family before, she had basically never even met the eldest son of the Ye family, let alone had any intimate contact with him.
Being suddenly embraced by Ye Fan, Yu Linglong's body stiffened, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Yu Linglong had originally wanted to scold Ye Fan, but then she remembered that she had publicly announced, together with so many of her sisters, that she was going to marry him. Sooner or later, she would become his woman anyway.
She might as well let him have his way.
Besides, he was still a fool right now.
Still, Ye Fan was certainly getting a bargain.
At such a close distance, as Ye Fan held Yu Linglong, he could feel her warm, soft body and the particularly pleasant fragrance surrounding her.
“Mr. Lei, I'm counting on you! This is my husband, Ye Fan.”
Yu Linglong respectfully bowed toward Lei Qianjue.
Lei Qianjue nodded.
“Don't worry. I will do everything I can.”
Wang Fugui, Li Hu, and the others, who had finished dealing with the attackers, soon arrived with a large group of people.
“Big Brother, are you all right?”
Seeing that Ye Fan was unharmed, Wang Fugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned toward Lei Qianjue and hurriedly bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Divine Doctor Lei!”
As the Divine Doctor of Daxia, Lei Qianjue was practically known by everyone. More importantly, he not only treated powerful and influential figures but also contributed numerous medical prescriptions that brought tangible benefits to ordinary people.
“Divine Doctor Lei, I'm entrusting my big brother to you! As long as you can cure him, I'm willing to work like an ox or horse for you!”
Wang Fugui spoke with complete sincerity. He genuinely wanted the best for Ye Fan.
Lei Qianjue and Yu Linglong looked at the huge crowd that had gathered and immediately understood that these people had probably come to provide backup and protect Lei Qianjue.
But just now, when Divine Doctor Lei had been in danger, who exactly had stepped in to save him?
Seeing the confusion in Yu Linglong's eyes, Xia Hao hurried forward and respectfully introduced himself.
“My name is Xia Hao. Five years ago, I received a favor from Young Master Ye. He saved my life. Since then, I've been following Young Master Ye around and helping him with various matters. When I heard that Divine Doctor Lei was coming to treat Young Master Ye, I took the liberty of bringing people here with Young Master Wang to provide support...”
“Hm?”
Hearing Xia Hao's explanation, a trace of shock flashed through Yu Linglong's eyes.
To prevent Old Master Lei from treating Ye Fan, the enemy had actually mobilized so many people.
Hmph!
Since Yu Linglong had decided to continue marrying Ye Fan, she had already made up her mind to live and die together with the Ye family.
Anyone who wanted to stop Mr. Lei from saving Ye Fan was an enemy of Yu Linglong.
The trip from the airport to Su Yixue's residence went smoothly.
Soon, Lei Qianjue took Ye Fan into a separate room and prepared to begin his examination.
“Young Master Ye, let me take a look at your hand.”
Lei Qianjue tried to speak to Ye Fan as gently as possible. He extended his hand, indicating that Ye Fan should let him take his pulse.
“Be a good boy and listen to me. After I'm finished examining you, I'll buy you some candy, okay?”
Ye Fan smiled faintly and interrupted him directly.
“Old Mr. Lei, actually, I've been waiting for you to arrive.”
As he spoke, Ye Fan suddenly grabbed Lei Qianjue's wrist with his other hand and quickly said,
“Mr. Lei, your internal heat is excessively strong. Your pulse is three beats faster than normal, and your breathing is slightly disordered. You haven't been getting enough rest lately, have you?”
“And last night, around midnight, you even drank about two ounces of liquor. At your age, drinking isn't good for your health...”
“Hm?”
Lei Qianjue's pupils suddenly widened. He stared at Ye Fan in utter shock.
“You...”
For a moment, Lei Qianjue couldn't figure out what state Ye Fan was actually in.
Was he really a fool, or what?
Because everything Ye Fan had said was completely accurate.
Such an astonishing diagnosis was so precise that Lei Qianjue almost wondered whether Ye Fan had secretly installed a surveillance camera beside him.
Could it be...
Ye Fan wasn't actually foolish at all?
