Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Ye Family.

The lights were bright up and down.

Ye Wenjun paced back and forth in the villa courtyard, filled with worry.

She was eager to go to the Forbidden City but was watched by several Hidden Dragon guards and could not leave.

Night fell.

The sun had already sunk behind West Mountain.

"Miss, let's have dinner..." the maid approached the entrance, saying with concern.

"How can I eat when no one from the Ye Family has returned?" Ye Wenjun said.

"But... not eating won't help the master!" the maid urged.

Ye Wenjun was not in a mood to heed the advice, occasionally going to the main entrance and looking into the distance, hoping they would come back soon.

Every time she went to the entrance, the Hidden Dragon guard stationed there would bow and say:

"Miss, the master has ordered that you cannot leave. Even if it costs me my life, I must stop you."

Ye Wenjun slightly furrowed her brows.

She knew that Hidden Dragon guards always kept their word.

How could she possibly evade the guards trained by the Ye Family?

Before leaving, Ye Xingkong had said to her that the life and death of Fang Yu involved the life and death of the Ye Family. Therefore, he couldn't just stand by idly. Even if it meant fighting to the death!

Now a whole day had gone by.

The longer she waited, the more anxious she became.

Like ants on a hot pan.

To ease Ye Wenjun's mind, Ye Xingkong had specially brought over the old master of the Ye Family.

Seeing how anxious Wenjun was, the old master, leaning on a cane, came out and said, "Wenjun..."

"Great-grandfather." Ye Wenjun hurriedly went back to assist the old master.

Within the Ye Family, the one whose words carried the most weight was Ye Shitian.

The kind-eyed old master said, "Some things are beyond worry. Just wait patiently, what will be will be; if it's a calamity, it cannot be avoided."

"But... I really want to go see for myself," Ye Wenjun said.

The old master chuckled warmly with profound meaning, "What help could you provide by going there? You are just an ordinary person; how could you understand the affairs of martial artists? It's the survival of the fittest. If you went, you would only be a hindrance..."

Ye Wenjun, feeling somewhat defiant, insisted, "Actually, I am also a martial artist."

Hearing this, the old master laughed heartily.

"Wenjun, I know you're worried, but there's no need to try to deceive me with such excuses. When you were fifteen, it was I who examined your Dantian... What a pity, what a pity..."

"I really am a martial artist."

During the conversation, Ye Wenjun took off the Phoenix Ancient Jade from around her neck, continuing, "This is the Ancient Jade that Fang Yu gave me, it's what helped me to open my Dantian."

Although the old master only had the strength of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer, he was much experienced and was a true veteran of the martial world. He looked closely at the Ancient Jade, seeing its simplicity and transparency, occasionally emanating a faint and almost imperceptible light, his heart startled.

"This jade was given by Fang Yu?"

"Yes."

"It helped you open your Dantian?"

Ye Wenjun nodded.

The old master was full of surprise, saying, "Rumor has it, spiritual objects can help ordinary people open their Dantians, could this thing be a spiritual object? Wenjun, come here..."

"Alright."

He grabbed Ye Wenjun's wrist and pressed a finger to it.

The pulse throbbed erratically, yet the breaths were robust and showed vigor.

"This is really a Dantian pulse!"

The old master was completely shocked, murmuring, "I didn't expect Fang Yu to be so generous, to give you such a precious item! A spiritual object capable of opening a Dantian is something everyone desires, its value is immeasurable!"

Although Ye Wenjun had known this object was valuable, seeing the old master so excited, she couldn't help but feel astonished; this object was far more precious than she had imagined.

"Wenjun, did Fang Yu say anything else?" the old master asked.

"He said that my Dantian is different from others, unable to generate Inner Strength, and can only absorb Spiritual Energy with the help of this object..."

The old master was taken aback, his brows tightly furrowed.

This was beyond his understanding.

"Unable to generate Inner Strength?"

Without generating Inner Strength, one wouldn't be able to cultivate, which in plain terms meant a useless Dantian. But how could Fang Yu be telling a lie? He looked again at the Phoenix Ancient Jade. "It is recorded in ancient texts, Spiritual Energy is the origin of all things. Is there... really Spiritual Energy?"

"Great-grandfather, you don't believe it?"

"It's not that I don't believe, I've just never seen it before," the old master said.

"Look..."

At this moment, Ye Wenjun lifted the Phoenix Ancient Jade in her hand, and as she held her breath and focused, just as Fang Yu had taught her, she felt the power transmitted from the Ancient Jade.

Suddenly, the Ancient Jade emitted a glow much stronger than before!

Ye Lao Yezi's eyes widened in shock.

"Spiritual Energy..."

He believed it!

"Fang Yu also said that in the next period, I should study the foundational knowledge of a martial artist with my father, and as long as I absorb enough Spiritual Energy, my Dantian can cultivate normally like those of other martial artists..."

"Good! That's great!"

Tears of excitement almost spilled from the elder Ye's eyes.

Just then, a voice came from the entrance.

"They're back!"

Ye Wenjun and the elder Ye couldn't help but rejoice and hurriedly walked towards the entrance.

"Open the door!"

Creak—

The doors swung open.

At the very front of the villa's courtyard.

Led by Fang Yu, Ye Xingkong, Zhong Long, Zhong Hu, and the Ye family's Hidden Dragon Guards, they returned mightily.

They had serious expressions, didn't talk, and walked quickly.

Before long...

The group reached the outside of the villa.

Seeing them return safely,

Ye Wenjun's nose tingled, and he almost couldn't suppress his emotional excitement.

They're back!

They had finally returned!

The entire Ye family, everyone, stepped out from their rooms, from corners, respectfully waiting.

Seeing their solemn expressions, it was unclear what had happened, but the atmosphere felt tense, oppressively suffocating.

Fang Yu's gaze landed on Ye Wenjun as he came to a stop.

Everyone else stopped in their tracks as well.

After a long silence, Fang Yu spoke calmly: "I said... we would return safely."

The elder Ye excitedly said, "It's good that you're back, good that you're back!"

But...

Fang Yu clearly didn't want to engage in familial small talk, his expression serious as he said, "Now, it's time to trouble you all."

Hmm?

The entire Ye family looked at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu calmly stated, "I need an absolutely quiet environment. The battle at the Forbidden City exceeded my expectations."

Everyone's expressions shifted slightly.

Did that mean... he was injured?

But from outward appearances, there was no sign of injury.

Nevertheless, having spoken out, how could the Ye family doubt him?

And they dared not ask further.

Ye Xingkong said in a deep voice, "Hidden Dragon Guards, heed my command, no one is allowed within five hundred meters!"

"Yes!"

"The back garden is relatively quiet. Before I come out, no one from the Ye family shall approach it, no matter who it is," Fang Yu said earnestly.

"Rest assured, anyone who wants to get close to the back garden will have to step over my, Ye Xingkong's, dead body first!" declared Ye Xingkong earnestly.

With an indifferent gaze, Fang Yu continued,

"After the battle at the Forbidden City, the Lu family has been greatly wounded and will not let things rest easily. If they do not appear within three hours, it means the Ye family is safe... Of course, I do not rule out the possibility of other mercenaries and assassins taking advantage while we're vulnerable."

Hearing this, Ye Xingkong realized the seriousness of the situation.

No wonder Fang Yu had been silent all the way; his Inner Strength must be nearly depleted.

At this time, it was naturally his weakest moment, and also the most likely time for enemies to appear.

"Lu Tianyuan has been in seclusion... I hope he hasn't emerged!" Ye Xingkong said.

Fang Yu said,

"Do you think... after all these years, my only enemies are the Lu family?"

Everyone gulped, taken aback.

The contemporary butcher, who had spilled so much blood and created countless enemies - even he himself didn't know them all!

"Wait for my return!"

Fang Yu turned around indifferently and headed towards the Ye family's back garden.
