Chen Hua overheard Bi’an making the phone call.
The staff member kept his displeasure to himself, but he was much more direct, showing it all on his face.
Having already lost face, he had no more concerns about his image, so he reluctantly suggested, “There’s no need to use the Dragon Palace’s elixirs for this injury; the Bureau’s elixirs are sufficient.”
It’s not that I don’t want to use high-end products, it’s just that they’re too expensive, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay it back even if I sell myself.
As Chen Hua said this, he felt a little envious: The Dragon Palace must be really rich.
Unlike him, who has worked hard all these years to accumulate a meager fortune.
Compared to Bi’an, it instantly became trash.
Reincarnation was indeed a skill.
“Uncle Gui is already on his way.” Bi’an assumed he was just being shy and said, “Anyway, they’re just gathering dust in the warehouse. It’ll be of some use if you use them.”
Bi’an wasn’t exactly lying, since the dragon princes were usually the ones who attacked, and only the ones who were attacked needed the elixirs for treatment.
Over the years, piles of medicinal herbs had been sitting in the warehouse, gathering dust.
Why not use it to please your sweetheart?
Bi’an was very shrewd; if he didn’t try to curry favor now, when would he?
Unfortunately, Chen Hua’s mind was completely drawn to the expensive elixirs. He calculated how many favors he would owe if he used those elixirs and suddenly felt a bit depressed.
He who accepts a gift is bound to be obligated to give it; he’ll feel too embarrassed to call Bi’an an idiot next time they met.
He closed his eyes in despair, trying to escape reality.
After the staff member treated Chen Hua’s injuries, they waited for the elixir to arrive. He glanced at Bi’an, who wasn’t even moving an inch, and vaguely felt the air was a bit suffocating. So using the excuse of not wanting to disturb Chen Hua’s rest, he humbly went out to wait.
For a moment, only Chen Hua and Bi’an remained in the room.
Chen Hua’s injuries were quite severe. Although he didn’t complain, he was in excruciating pain. His entire body burned with pain, and he had no strength left. He lay weakly on the bed, unable even to meditate.
This feeling was terrible.
He closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again with some irritation, staring at the white ceiling above him.
After a long, dry silence, seeing that Bi’an remained silent, he started making small talk, trying to divert the attention: “How did you know that Yin Xuan and I were there?”
He was locked in a standoff with Yin Xuan and had no time to notify others. In addition, Yin Xuan had set up a barrier around them, so although the commotion from their fight was loud, no one would notice them for a while.
Therefore, he had long been prepared for the Bureau of Demon Management to come and collect his corpse.
But unexpectedly, Bi’an arrived just in time and saved his life.
“You hadn’t replied to my message in ten minutes.”
Bi’an frowned, his two sharp, dark eyebrows furrowed: “You didn’t answer my phone. I was worried, so I drove to your house, only to find that neither you nor Yin Xuan were there. I suspected something might have happened.”
Chen Hua: ???
How is this calculated? By just counting the time?
There’s no need to calculate it so precisely, is there?
And would ordinary friends be so precise in timing their replies?
Would ordinary friends drive to the other party’s house late at night to look for someone who hasn’t replied to their messages or answered their calls?
He glanced at Bi’an repeatedly, his heart pounding, and he remembered Ying Qiao saying that Bi’an had a crush on him.
Although he asked Bi’an at the time, Bi’an denied it.
But now…
No way, no way, really?
Chen Hua’s mind raced with questions, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He coughed lightly and said dryly, “Oh, I went out after Yin Xuan. My phone was on silent, so I probably didn’t hear it.”
Bi’an: “Hmm.”
“…”
Chen Hua was speechless. He shut his mouth, and the room fell silent again, the atmosphere feeling a bit awkward.
He was a little anxious.
Fortunately, the anxiety didn’t last long, and Jiang Lan brought the little ones in.
Chen Hua felt like he had seen a savior and couldn’t help but start chattering to him: “Why are you all here so late?”
He felt a pang of emotion looking at them. They’re all ancient demons, all rich, powerful, and well-connected, so how come Taotie is so good at dealing with people?
Even though only his boyfriend’s subordinate was injured, he still knew to come and visit him overnight.
Ying Qiao, that bast**d, doesn’t even know how to learn from this; he just does nothing right.
Jiang Lan glanced at Bi’an sitting next to him and thought that since his future sister-in-law was injured, of course he had to come and see.
However, after thinking about it in his heart and asking around carefully, he learned that his fourth brother had already asked Uncle Gui to send over the elixirs, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought there was still a chance to save Fourth Brother!
After Jiang Lan finished his visit, he was planning to leave first, leaving the two of them alone. However, Chen Hua was unusually talkative today and kept pulling him along to chatter on and on.
He had no choice but to sit down and chat with his fourth sister-in-law.
Chen Hua then inquired about Ying Qiao’s situation.
Jiang Lan said that Ying Qiao had finished up the matter and was leading people to send Yin Xuan’s body back to the station, which should arrive in about half an hour.
Chen Hua was still a little uneasy after hearing this. Yin Xuan’s unorthodox methods were too numerous to guard against, and for some reason, he always had a feeling of unease: “Is the person really dead?”
Jiang Lan said, “Ying Qiao said he was definitely dead. Fourth Brother’s sword pierced his brow, severing his last bit of life. There were no signs of forgery on the body. It was definitely Yin Xuan himself.”
Chen Hua sighed: “I was the one who killed Yuan Li back then, and even burned his body to ashes, but he still came back. I hope he can die a clean death this time.”
He really didn’t want to see Yin Xuan’s face again.
Looking at him for even a second makes me feel like an idiot +1
Annoying.
“What exactly is going on between you and Yin Xuan?” Bi’an asked upon hearing this.
Chen Hua then realized that the others didn’t know about Yin Xuan’s matter, so he told them about it again.
“I still don’t understand how he managed to split himself into two different people at the same time.”
Not only were their physical appearances completely different, but their personalities and ways of doing things were also entirely different. No one would think they were the same person.
Although unwilling to admit it, Yin Xuan was indeed a genius. Although he was a half-demon, he was very talented in cultivation and had broad knowledge and strong memory, almost knowing everything.
When Chen Hua followed him to learn cultivation, he had heard him talk about many strange and unheard-of techniques.
Although it now seemed that Yin Xuan’s omniscience may rely on his long lifespan, it was enough to demonstrate his prowess.
“So Yuan Li claimed to be Chi Songzi’s disciple, is that mostly true?” Jiang Lan frowned and pondered for a moment, then realized he had no recollection of it, so he asked Bi’an, “Fourth Brother, have you met him?”
Bi’an shook his head: “After the Yan Emperor was defeated, Chi Songzi was unwilling to submit to the Yellow Emperor and went to the Upper Realm a long time ago. However, I occasionally heard from great demons in the Upper Realm that Chi Songzi did indeed take in a disciple with exceptional talent, a half-demon of mixed blood. I think his name was Yuan Yin.”
Chi Songzi was a general under Emperor Yan and enjoyed great prestige in his early years. After Emperor Yan was defeated, he moved to the upper realm and became much more low-key.
When the topic came up again later, it was mostly gossip about him taking on a highly talented half-demon disciple.
In ancient times, unlike now, humans had a low social status, and many ferocious demons even fed on them. Few demons were willing to associate with humans, and those who developed feelings for humans or even raised offspring were extremely rare. At that time, any human-demon hybrid would be rejected or even killed by the demons.
That’s why many people secretly gossiped about Chi Songzi taking in a half-demon disciple.
However, Chi Songzi was strong, and those who could defeat him were unwilling to get involved in other people’s discipleship; those who couldn’t defeat him, though they talked a lot, didn’t dare to easily make a move against Yuan Yin.
As Yuan Yin grew stronger, fewer demons secretly gossiped about him.
Later, he heard that during the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi Songzi sent his disciples down to the mortal realm to assist the Yellow Emperor, and Yuan Yin was among them.
“At that time, there were too many demons in the lower realm, and the battle was fierce, so no one paid special attention to Yuan Yin.” At most, they would just sigh when they heard that Chi Songzi’s disciple had also gone down to the lower realm to help in the battle.
When the old story was brought up, Bi’an said, “I haven’t been to the Upper Realm much, so for more specific details, you’ll have to ask Ying Qiao.”
“What are you asking me?” Ying Qiao, who had just returned, had only reached the door when he heard Bi’an’s words and raised an eyebrow to reply.
“Is Chi Songzi’s disciple named Yuan Yin? And have you met him?” Jiang Lan asked.
Ying Qiao walked to the bedside and looked Chen Hua up and down. After thinking for a moment, he said, “His name was Yuan Yin. I had run into him once or twice, but I didn’t pay much attention. Why are you suddenly asking about him?”
“My master Yuan Li and my senior brother Yin Xuan are the same person. We suspect that Yuan Li and Yin Xuan are both incarnations of Yuan Yin.” Chen Hua reluctantly replied, staring at Ying Qiao warily.
If Dogecoin dares to mock him, he’ll demand double the workers’ compensation!
“?”
Ying Qiao raised an eyebrow, his eyes immediately filled with interest: “One person?” He clicked his tongue and commented, “Then he’s quite the actor.”
There was only one desolate mountain, and a dilapidated thatched hut in the mountain, yet they still had to create two incarnations to act out the play.
Does holding it in for too long cause a split personality?
“He took you on as his apprentice so he could have an audience to support him?” Ying Qiao guessed.
Chen Hua: …
He said coldly, “Don’t use your boring ideas to judge other people.”
Although Yin Xuan was no good, Chen Hua was certain of one thing: Yin Xuan’s creation of two clones, and even his enlightenment and taking him as a disciple, were not for pure purposes.
Both Yuan Li and Yin Xuan are very goal-oriented in their actions.
Ying Qiao clicked his tongue and said, “Then I don’t know. But the fact that Chi Songzi sent Yuan Yin down to the mortal realm to help the Yellow Emperor is indeed a bit strange.”
He was surprised when he first heard the news.
Bi’an nodded in agreement: “If Yuan Li and Yin Xuan are both clones of Yuan Yin, then there are indeed many suspicious points in this matter.”
During the Battle of Zhuolu, the God of War Chi You was so powerful that many powerful demons who supported the Yellow Emperor went to his aid. Only the former followers of the Yan Emperor rejoiced, and some powerful demons even openly assisted Chi You.
Even those who didn’t help Chi You were secretly gloating, enjoying the spectacle.
The current Qian faction regarded Zhuanxu and Yellow Emperor, who “severed the connection between heaven and earth,” as enemies and was determined to restore the former glory of the shaman gods.
Assuming that Yuan Li and Yin Xuan were both incarnations of Yuan Yin, then Yuan Yin, a former subordinate of Emperor Yan and now a geomancer of the Qian School, would have a conflict between his actions of descending to the mortal realm to assist Emperor Yellow Emperor and his own stance and beliefs, no matter how you look at it, and it simply didn’t make sense.
