Chapter 98: Qin Kexiu's Mishap!

  "Do you know their inside story?" Cheng Zihan glanced at the direction of the mountain foot and asked Qin Kexiu with a nod.

  Qin Kexiu shook his head, "I don't know."

  Han Yi suddenly interrupted, "I know, they are the Five Freaks of Yu Nan."

  "Yu Nan's Five Monsters?" Cheng Zihan seemed to be somewhat interested, generally can be considered as monsters, are some old monsters, more or less all have some special skills.

  These five old guys, probably aren't simple either.

  Han Yi nodded and then told Cheng Zihan and others about the origin of the Yu Nan Five Freaks.

  Yu Nan Wu Guai are not from Yu Nan, but when they were young, they had a similar enchanting infatuation and fondness for jade.

  They rose to fame about 500 years ago, when southern Henan was not the largest jade city in China, but a small border town with several dilapidated thatched cottages surrounded by mountains, and no one would have gone to such a desolate place, silently unknown in history.

  Five hundred years ago, five young people came here together and unexpectedly discovered a jade mine with an astonishing reserve. After some negotiation, they finally settled down here.

  There are five high mountains here, each with an astonishing jade mine. Five people had a competition and finally chose one mountain each, occupying the mountain as king.

  At that time, there were only about thirty or fifty people in southern Henan, and it was impossible to mine jade with just these people.

  Then the five people directly used violent means to concentrate all the villagers in the nearby villages of Yunnan, forcing them to go up the mountain to open mines. From that year on, Yunnan also began to develop and became the largest jade city in Great China after ten years.

  Henan has been established for 500 years, and the five jade mines have not been fully exploited until now. It is mainly due to the operation of the five people behind the scenes.

  The jade mine is not inexhaustible, and in order to guard it, the five people have a clear limit on the number of jade stones they can excavate each year.

  Five old men lived in seclusion, entrusting all matters to their subordinates for handling, so not many people knew them; only some old demons who were equally cunning and wise knew of their existence.

  Han Yi was naturally unfamiliar with them at this age, but the Han family had an old monster who was not inferior to them and was also a similar old demon. Therefore, Han Yi had heard him say many secrets about the Great Huaxia since he was young, and he also knew something about the Yu Nan Five Monsters.

  It is said that the five freaks of southern Henan traveled all over the world, seemingly in search of some rare treasure. Unfortunately, they spent hundreds of years and still couldn't find what they were looking for. As for what exactly they were searching for, outsiders can only remain ignorant. However, Han Yi knew that what they were searching for would absolutely not be something ordinary.

  This time, Cheng Zihan unexpectedly opened up the seven-colored Xuanwu stone, and the seven-colored light shocked the entire Yunnan City. It is estimated that these five old monsters came for the seven-colored Xuanwu stone.

  Their target is Cheng Zihan.

  After listening to Han Yi's introduction, Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and gained some understanding of those five old monsters.

  The Great China has produced many extraordinary people, completely different from the world she once lived in. In this world, there are many cultivators who generally possess a physique that is different from ordinary people. They can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, incorporate it into their own body, and then use these to enhance their cultivation, thereby achieving the effect of eternal youth and immortality.

  In the capital city, each of the four major families has one or two such old monsters, and in other places, there are naturally many hidden masters who have lived for over a hundred years, so it's not unusual.

  "Are they after the Seven-Colored Jade?" Cheng Zihan smiled coldly, glanced around at the surrounding trees, and suddenly had an idea. He pulled Han Yi to a large tree and climbed up in just a few swift movements.

  Qin Kexiu was a ghost, and wanting to climb trees would naturally be much simpler than for Cheng Zihan and the others.

  Three people quickly arrived at a branch on top of a big tree and sat down. Cheng Zihan shook her feet, looking at the situation below.

  "These five people, named Shi Jingtian, Yu Kuanglan, Fei Luoyang, Sha Tingtian and Bo Hechuan. There are some mysterious forces behind them, but no one knows what they are. However, they can dominate this place alone, and for so many years, no one has dared to move them, it's definitely not simple." Han Yi sat next to Cheng Zihan and reminded him in a low voice.

  Cheng Zihan nodded, she naturally knew that the economic benefits here in Yu Nan were astonishing, with daily transactions reaching tens of billions of yuan, and the tax evasion was at least hundreds of millions. However, the government had never sent anyone to investigate, instead allowing this place to develop freely, which could only mean that those five people's identities were not simple.

  It seems that they can't be killed now, otherwise, it will bring a lot of enemies to themselves.

  Although Cheng Zihan didn't mind, after all, she was already surrounded by enemies on all sides now, and a few more enemies wouldn't make a difference. However, there are people outside of people, and mountains outside of mountains, so naturally, she needs to be more careful, not just thinking about herself, but also considering the people around her, it's better to keep a low profile when doing things.

  Moreover, the five freaks of Yu Nan were only rushing to the Seven-Colored Tassel Jade, and there was no irreconcilable hatred between them. Having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.

  Don't be afraid of a strong enemy, but be afraid of a treacherous one. Three cobblers with their wits can still outsmart a Zhuge Liang.

  "Let's first see the situation, if we can pull it over that would be best, if not, then we'll just get rid of it directly, anyway no one will know I did it." Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and said viciously.

  Han Yi silently made a face, glanced at Cheng Ziheng who was being very violent, twitched the corner of his mouth, and silently turned his head away, unable to bear looking anymore.

  What happened to that innocent and kind good kid? Why did he become so corrupted?

  Cheng Zihan was completely unaware and smiled brightly with her mouth open.

  "Where is he?" Shi Jing Tian was the first to arrive, looking around left and right. He clearly felt that someone's breath was nearby, but somehow couldn't see anyone.

  Yu Kuanglan and others also arrived closely behind.

  "They should be around here somewhere, let's split up and search." Shatong Tian furrowed his brow, scanning the surroundings before speaking in a hoarse voice.

  "No, they are just around here, we don't want to separate, be careful of the enemy's conspiracy." Puhechuan took a look at his appearance and knew that he was one of the more brainy ones among the five, and also more rational.

  "He Kecang is right." Yu Kuanglan nodded in agreement with He Kecang's words.

  "How can we find them without separating?" Sha Tongtian was obviously a hot-tempered person, and after hearing Pu Hechuan's words, he clearly disapproved.

  "Eh, Tongtian, I think Hechuan is right, let's listen to him. We can walk around this area together." Just as Sha Tongtian was about to make a run for it, Feiluoyang hastily went over and grabbed hold of him, pulling him back.

  Sha Tung Tian returned obediently with a reluctant face.

  Cheng Zihan swung her legs, watching the interactions of the people below, and couldn't help but chuckle. She turned her head to glance at Han Yi, then asked: "Han Yi, have you figured out what's going on?"

  Han Yi's face was filled with confusion, he shook his head and looked at Cheng Zihuan with a puzzled expression, "What are you talking about?"

  "You're so stupid! Can't you see it's so obvious?! Look, Yu Kuanglan clearly has a thing for Pu Hechuan, and Sha Tongtian is definitely a bottom, even though he looks very manly. But no matter what, he always listens to Fei Luoyang. As for Shi Xingtian, his attributes haven't been revealed yet, it's possible that he can be both top and bottom." Cheng Zihan pointed at the five people below, analyzing them very rationally.

  Han Yi's mouth twitched violently as he shot a silent glance at Cheng Zihuan, resolutely deciding to ignore this little girl.

  Cheng Zihan also smiled and said it was just a joke.

  And for five hundred years, these five people have been together day and night, without any women, who would believe they didn't have an affair?

  Anyway, now can't show up, Cheng Zihan only has boring malicious YY a few people below.

  "It's strange, why can't I see anyone?" He had searched the entire area of about ten meters in diameter, but he couldn't see any sign of Cheng Zihan and Qin Kexiu. Yu Kuanglan furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.

  The sky has already darkened, and today's southern Henan province got dark especially early. It's only around 4 pm now, but it's already as dark as midnight.

  Moreover, the sky is so dark that you can't see the moonlight or starlight, it's frighteningly black.

  It's okay, Yu Kuanglan and they are all cultivators, so even in such a dark environment, they can still see the surroundings.

  Cheng Zihan is unimpeded by darkness. Originally a child with night blindness, now that his strength has increased, even his night blindness has been overcome.

  Looking at the five people below, Cheng Zihan covered her mouth and smiled secretly, making a gesture to Qin Kexiu.

  Qin Kesou nodded in agreement, and lightly floated down, landing right in the middle of the five people. He lifted his foot and kicked Yu Kuanglan fiercely.

  Yu Kuanglan was indeed a master, although his visibility wasn't high, but his senses were extremely sharp. Just as Qin Kexiu lifted her foot, he had already reacted and stretched out his hand to block her attack. Then, with a flash of silver light in his hand, he quickly stabbed towards Qin Kexiu's heart.

  But his attack ultimately fell through, with a "poof" sound, as if it had stabbed into the air, without any reaction.

  Jade Kaito furrowed his brow, concentrating on the situation around him.

  Qin Kexiu was still in his original position, but his entire body had become semi-transparent, which was also the reason why Yu Kuanglan's attack hadn't hit him just now.

  Yu Kuanglan withdrew the dagger from his hand, and the cold light of the dagger flashed, it was clear that it was extremely sharp. If Qin Kexiu had been stabbed by that knife just now, he would have died without a doubt.

  Cheng Zihan and Han Yi were also frightened when they saw it, but they had confidence in Qin Kexiu, so after taking a deep breath, they calmed down and continued to pay attention to the situation below.

  Qin Kexiu floated lightly in mid-air, as if waiting for an opportunity to strike. Yu Kuanglan was always on high alert, and the sudden movement had also put the other four people on guard.

  "Be careful, Xiao Lan." Bó Hè Chuān carefully guarded beside Yuè Kuáng Lán, softly reminding him.

  Shatong Tian and Feiluo Yang were also back to back, tacitly protecting each other. Only Shijing Tian stood alone, his eyes fixed intently on the situation in the darkness.

  Qin Kexiu did not underestimate Shi Zhen Tian's solitary figure, because the aura on Shi Zhen Tian's body was unstable. Qin Kexiu couldn't sense his true strength or weakness at all. He seemed like a heavily injured person, with an aura that fluctuated between strong and weak. But it was precisely this that made Qin Kexiu even more cautious.

  Underestimating the enemy will lead to a miserable death.

  Cheng Zihan held her breath and looked at the situation below, suddenly, her eyes caught a flash of silver light, just about to remind Qin Kexiu below, but it was too late.

  Shi Zhen Tian, who had been standing by all along, suddenly sprang into action, swinging his twin blades and charging at Qin Ke Xiu.

  Those knives looked extraordinary at first glance. Cheng Zihan stared at them with wide eyes, and didn't even have time to open her mouth to remind Qin Kexiu.

  Han Yi was also excited and straightened up, staring intently at Qin Kexiu below.

  Qin Kesuo also felt that sharp cold light, he wanted to dodge, but the space around him seemed to be frozen in place by someone, and he couldn't move an inch.

  "Oh no!" Cheng Zihan naturally saw the clue and shouted quietly, then rushed quickly towards Qin Kexiu's direction.

  "Someone!" Yu Kuanglan and the others also discovered that Cheng Zihan was flying over, and the daggers in their hands were swung out, directly pressing against Cheng Zihan's face.

  Cheng Zihan worried about Qin Kexiu's situation in her heart, and instead of dodging, she directly withstood the opponent's several knives. Her body fell heavily in front of Qin Kexiu, grabbed him with both hands, and threw him out. The twin blades in Shi Jingtian's hand stabbed mercilessly into her back.

  "Zi Han!" Qin Ke Xiu exclaimed, already rushing to her side and pulling her away from the knife.

  Cheng Zihan smiled weakly at him, stretched out her hand and touched his face, then shook her head. "I'm fine, that knife has some eerie effects on the soul, with a terrible restraining effect. If you were the one who was injured just now, I reckon your soul would have flown away."

  Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihan and clenched his teeth.

  At this time, Han Yi also jumped down from the tree. All of this happened too quickly, leaving them unguarded. Otherwise, with Cheng Zihan's strength, even if he couldn't beat the five people in front of him, he wouldn't have let himself get hurt so badly.

  "Zi Han!" Han Yi quickly came over and examined Cheng Zi Han's injuries.

  Cheng Zihan was seriously injured, her chest was stabbed by Yu Kuanglan and Pu Hechuan's dagger, her thigh was also stabbed by Sha Tongtian and Fei Luoyang's dagger, and the most serious injury should be on her back. The double knives directly penetrated her back, with blood flowing freely, and the air was filled with a bloody smell.

  "Fire!" Han Yi saw that Cheng Zihan's injury was so severe, and he, who had always been gentle, also became angry. He let out a loud roar, and the air around him suddenly became scorching hot. The space seemed to distort, and a huge virtual shadow slowly appeared in mid-air. Those eyes without temperature coldly stared at the five old men in front of him.

  "Nine Underworlds Fire Python!" Shi Jing Tian took a step back, his eyes wide with fear, as he stared at the giant snake's illusory shadow that had suddenly appeared before him.

  He had originally thought that Cheng Zihan and the others' backgrounds were not simple, but he hadn't expected that among them, there was actually someone who possessed a Nine-Yin Fire Python, this kind of heaven-defying pet!

  And at the moment when Jiuyou Huomang appeared, Shegeng, who had been dormant all along, also woke up from his sleep. A vast aura enveloped them, causing the five people to feel a little apprehensive in their hearts.

  "Who hurt her!" She Guang had just awakened and hadn't even recovered his true form, but as soon as he saw Cheng Zihans's blood-covered body, he immediately became enraged and bellowed at the five people in front of him.

  The terrifying sound wave directly shook the five people in front of him, causing a surge of blood and energy in their hearts.

  "Pffft." The weakest of the Shatong's throat let out a sweet, gentle sound, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

  "Primordial Snake King!" Shi Jing Tian was shocked again when he saw She Geng, apparently having discerned his origin.

  The king of ten thousand snakes, the snake Geng is the king among snakes. Wherever the snake Geng resides, all other snakes submit to it. It can be said that in ancient times, apart from the dragon clan, this creature was the most renowned!

  Of course, some abnormal monsters cannot be counted among them, such as Tian Can and Mang Cang.

  One was the ancient heavenly serpent Jiuyou Huwang, and the other was the ancient snake king Shegeng. Both were top-notch creatures. Shi Jing Tian never thought that he would be so lucky as to encounter two prehistoric monsters that had already become extinct.

  "We can't win! They're too powerful, retreat quickly!" Shi Jing Tian didn't dare to fight back and directly dropped a sentence, then took out a smoke bomb from his bosom, slammed it on the ground, and escaped.

  Yu Kuanglan and others followed suit.

  "Want to run!" Snake Geng wouldn't easily let go of these five dog-bastards who had hurt Cheng Zihang, and with a loud shout, he was about to chase after them.

  "Let's not pursue the poor thief! Now saving Zi Han is what matters most, let's hurry back to town immediately!" Qin Ke Xiu hastily shouted to stop She Geng.

  The snake spat out two mouthfuls of cool air, reluctantly returned, took a look at the heavily injured Cheng Zihuan, frowned, and transformed into a miniature snake again, coiling around Cheng Zihuan's wrist.

  "Her injuries are severe, those two knives shattered her meridians, but unexpectedly also broke through a seal in her body, I suppose it's a blessing in disguise. Let's hurry." After a while, She Geng's low voice finally came out.

  Qin Kexiu and Han Yi were slightly surprised by this, exchanged a glance with each other, and also let out a sigh of relief.

  It seems that Cheng Zihan is not going to die this time.

  The dark clouds in the sky remained dense, Qin Kesu picked up Cheng Zihan and rushed down the mountain at high speed.

  Han Yi thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and communicated with the Jiu You Huo Man for a while, finally getting its consent to let them ride it down the mountain.

  But Qin Kexiu just silently looked at Jiu You Huo Mang for a moment and shook his head very decisively, "I won't sit."

  Han Yi was taken aback and looked at him in confusion, "Why?"

  "You see, his whole body is filled with Nine Underworld Refining Flames. I'm a spiritual entity, if I sit on it, I'll be reduced to ashes immediately. And now, Cheng Ziheng has been seriously injured again, how can he withstand that refining flame?" Qin Kexiu smiled bitterly and pointed at the flames rising from the giant fire snake's body, saying helplessly.

  Han Yi was dazed and could only let Jiu You Huo Mang return first, then he followed Qin Ke Xiu at high speed, rushing down the mountain.

  It's probably because the sky suddenly changed, so the people at the foot of the mountain also disappeared. As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, a loud thunderstorm started.

  Qin Kesou looked up at the sky and furrowed his brow tightly, as if he had a bad feeling in his heart.

  Arrived in southern Henan, unexpectedly obtained the seven-color peacock stone, met the five old men of southern Henan, Cheng Ziheng was seriously injured. These seem to have a premonition, this time out, seems to be bad luck, and there may still be many things happening afterwards.

  Embracing Cheng Zihan, they sprinted across the wilderness. The rain had just started to fall, but Qin Kesu and Han Yi didn't care about that anymore. They quickly ran towards the direction of Yunnan City's gate.

  But when they arrived at the south gate of Yu, they found that the city gate was actually closed.

  Qin Kesou furrowed his brow and gazed coldly at the tightly closed city gate, the uneasy emotions in his heart continuing to spread.

  Yùnán City is a square city, with four gates in different directions. The distance between each gate is the same, and it takes half an hour to walk from the north gate to either the west or east gate.

  But now it's really can't be delayed, Qin Kesu kicked the door with force, but the solid stone gate didn't move at all.

  It seems that violent means won't work. This door is probably closed by the order of Yu Nan Wu Guai, and it looks like the other three doors are also in the same situation.

  Qin Kexiu held Cheng Zihan in his arms and stood at the city gate, where they could avoid part of the rain and not get soaked.

  Han Yi stood beside Qin Kexiu, looking at him with a furrowed brow.

  This rain is too weird, the weather in southern Henan is changeable, but the probability of rain in January is low and almost impossible, at least it's the first time in so many years since southern Henan was established.

  Han Yi took a look at the clothes on Cheng Zihan's body and only then did he realize that the rainwater was highly corrosive. The clothes on Cheng Zihan's body had been corroded by the rainwater, with countless holes appearing everywhere, and his own clothes were not much better off either.

  Henan South has no industrial pollution, it is basically incompatible with industry, but looking at the strong corrosiveness of this rainwater, I estimate that there are many acidic substances in the rainwater, which is strange.

  How can acid rain occur in places where air pollution is not severe?

  But when Han Yi looked at Qin Kexiu, he was even more frightened.

  Qin Ke's entire body had become semi-transparent, his clothes empty and hollow, as if he had been eroded away, and Cheng Zihan, who was being held in his arms, was about to fall to the ground.

  Han Yi's eyes were quick and her hands were fast, she hastily caught Cheng Zihang who was about to fall.

  "Qin Kexiu, what's wrong?" Han Yi caught Cheng Zihan and looked at Qin Kexiu with a terrified face as he gradually disappeared.

  At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew by, and Qin Kexiu in front of him disappeared into thin air, as if he had never existed before.

  Qin Kesu has disappeared! He just vanished without any warning!

  Was it because of the eerie acid rain just now, or was there another reason?

  Han Yi didn't know, but he knew that if Cheng Zihuan woke up to find Qin Kexiu gone, she might collapse!

  "Rustle..." Less than five minutes after Qin Kesu disappeared, the city gate slowly creaked open.

  At the door stood Han Jingchen, who was shrouded in a chill, as well as Cheng Hai and Li Lan with worried faces. Behind them, the five freaks of Yu Nan stood quietly, looking like they had been subdued by Han Jingchen.

  "Xiao Yi, how's Zi Han?" Han Jinchen took big strides to walk over as soon as he saw Han Yi standing at the door in a daze.

  Han Yi suddenly came to his senses, holding Cheng Zihan and walking over, "She was seriously injured and has been unconscious all along, I don't know what's going on with her."

  Han Jingchen took over Cheng Zihan from Han Yi's arms, looked down at the pale face, closed his eyes, and exuded an intimidating aura.

  The five freaks of Yu Nan were shocked, to know that the little girl was Han Jingchen's person, they wouldn't dare to provoke her even if they had a hundred guts!

  "Keep your heads on your necks for now, if she dies, I'll kill you all to avenge her!" Han Jinchen hugged Cheng Zihan, turned around, and coldly looked at the five freaks from Yu Nan who were arguing with each other.

  "Old Han, Old Han, we were wrong, I was wrong." Shi Jing Tian and Yu Kuang Lan hastily opened their mouths to apologize, desperately kowtowing in admission of fault.

  Han Jingchen completely ignored them and walked past them directly.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan followed closely behind, Han Yi's heart was full of doubts, but he still followed tightly.

  Han Jingchen did not take Cheng Zihang to the hospital, but instead took him directly back to the hotel.

  Looking at Cheng Zihans quiet body covered in blood lying on the bed, Han Jinchens deeply took a breath, and the air pressure in the entire room seemed to drop by several degrees.

  "Uncle, how is Zihan's situation?" Han Yi was worried about Cheng Zihan's situation and took a step forward, asking in a low voice.

  Han Jingchen shot a cold glance over, and Han Yi was so frightened that his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

  "This is how you protect her? Letting her get hurt so badly?" Han Jinchen's voice was cold and detached, without a hint of emotion.

  The man in front of him now was no longer the uncle who had always been good to him, but a killing god full of murderous aura.

  Han Yi felt for the first time that Han Jingchen was really terrifying.

  "Sorry!" Han Yi hung his head in shame, not daring to say a word in his own defense.

  Han Jingchen let out a cold hum and took out the backpack he had brought with him, pouring out a large pile of bottles and jars from inside.

  A strange medicinal fragrance suddenly spread throughout the room.

  Han Yi and others stood quietly beside him, holding their breath and not daring to say a word.

  At the gate, the five old men from Yunnan stood outside waiting, but they all had some strange thoughts in their minds.

  "Lao Shi Tuo, don't you think that Korean old man just now seemed a bit too young? Although the aura on his body is the same, I always feel like there's something not quite right." Fu Lian Yang whispered into Shi Xing Tian's ear.

  "That's right! I've always thought there was something wrong with him, I think it's probably not the old Han we know! Otherwise, let's rush in and see if he's real or fake?" Sha Tongtian was the most impatient, shouting loudly, and was about to go up and fight with Han Junchen.

  "Are you stupid?! Do you want to go and get yourself killed?!" Shi Jing Tian slapped Sha Tong Tian's forehead fiercely, scolding him viciously. "Even if he isn't really Old Han's head, he must have some close relationship with Old Han! Didn't you see what's on his neck?! That's the jade token of the Han family's connection, no matter how far away they are, as long as it's crushed, even if Old Han is dead, he can still rush back to rescue him! Next time you go out, remember to bring your eyes and brain along!" Seeing Sha Tong Tian's face full of discontent, Shi Jing Tian couldn't help but add another sentence.

  Shatongtian shrunk his neck and honestly didn't say a word.

  Others were also trembling with fear, they naturally all knew how terrifying that old Korean head was. Back then, he could rely on his own strength to beat them until they begged for mercy, now although many years have passed and their strength has improved a lot, but that damned freak will definitely progress even more than them! So even if they fight again, they will still be trampled underfoot, there is no other possibility.

  The five people deeply realized this and stood honestly at the door, no longer daring to speak nonsense.

  After a while, the door was opened and out came Han Yi. He gave a cold glance at the five people by the door before saying in an ill-tempered tone: "My uncle said that you hurt the person he cares about most. If she can't be saved, then none of you will survive either! Now bring out all the treasures you've been hoarding. Our lady loves nothing more than treasures. Who knows, maybe seeing them will revive her!"

  Shi Jing Tian's mouth twitched violently at the words, and Han Yi was clearly taking advantage of the situation, but they didn't dare say a single word against it.

  "Yes, yes, yes." The five of them hastily replied in unison and rushed back home to fetch the treasure for Han Yi.

  Han Yi hooked his lips into a faint smile, closed the door and walked back into the house.

  Han Jingchen sat on the edge of the bed, while Cheng Hai and Li Lan sat at a table not far from the bed, all with relieved expressions.

  Han Jingchen had just taken out all the medicine for treating injuries, but just as he was about to apply it to Cheng Zihans wounds, a miracle suddenly occurred.

  Suddenly, a soft white light burst out from Cheng Zihan's body, enveloping her entire person, and then after a moment, she suddenly recovered.

  She is now sitting on the bed, eating big mouthfuls of food, apparently starving.

  It turns out that Cheng Zihan's body can self-heal, thanks to the Tiancan. Thinking back, she helped Qin Ke repair the resentful spirit in her home with the Ice Jade Pearl, but because of her weak strength at the time, she was severely injured and covered in blood. In the end, it was because of Tiancan's gluttony that he absorbed the blood flowing out of her body, but also because of his own limited strength, he absorbed too much pure yin energy from the woman's blood, and for a while, he couldn't digest it, so he formed a cocoon that wrapped him and Cheng Zihan inside. However, this also accidentally transferred some special abilities from his body to Cheng Zihan.

  Apart from that heaven-defying time reversal technique, there's also this body's automatic repair ability.

  Of course, this is mainly because Cheng Zihan's injury was not too serious. The two knives on his back seemed very serious, but they did not hurt the vital parts, and instead broke through a seal on his body.

  The position of that seal was exactly where the plum blossom seal was, and when the seal was broken, it wasn't a bad thing for Cheng Zihang, but rather a good thing.

  The injuries on his chest and thighs were just superficial wounds, and he had been unconscious for so long mainly because the body's repair function needed a transitional period to start.

  Having eaten and drunk enough, Cheng Zihan let out a satisfied sigh, only to suddenly discover that there seemed to be one person missing. No, to be precise, two people were missing.

  Tian Can is gone, Qin Ke Xiu is also gone.

  The Celestial Silkworm's appearance is unpredictable, so Cheng Ziheng has already gotten used to it. However, at such a critical moment, Qin Kexiu wouldn't possibly abandon him and disappear, would he?

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow and glanced at Han Yi before asking in confusion, "Han Yi, where's Qin Kexiu?"

  Han Yi was taken aback, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't dare to look into Cheng Zihan's eyes. He just smiled and chuckled, "That, Qin Kexiu, Qin Kexiu, oh, Tiansan doesn't know where he ran off to, so Qin Kexiu went to find Tiansan."

  Han Yi's eyes rolled around in the room for a moment before suddenly striking an idea, and he slapped his forehead as he spoke to Cheng Ziheng.

  Cheng Zihan just looked at him coldly, didn't this idiot know that he couldn't tell lies at all?

  Han Yi faced Cheng Zihan's gaze, smiled bitterly, but pursed his lips and didn't speak.

  Cheng Zihan frowned and asked again: "What happened to Qin Kexiu in the end!"

  Han Jingchen also turned to look in Han Yi's direction, Han Yi was too familiar with this child who would never lie, and his relationship with Cheng Zihan was so good that he couldn't possibly lie to deceive Cheng Zihan. The only possible explanation is that Qin Kesu had an accident, and it was a big deal, so big that Han Yi didn't dare let Cheng Zihan know.

  Han Yi looked at Han Jingchen with a pleading expression.

  Cheng Zihan glared at him fiercely, "Stop making eyes at me! Tell me quickly, where did Qin Kexiu go?"

  Cheng Zihan was anxious, thinking about the thrilling scene just now. If Qin Kexiu were to avenge her after she got hurt and then confront the Yuannan Five Monsters, something unexpected might happen! Cheng Zihan simply didn't dare to continue thinking about it!

  She got out of bed, but was stopped by Han Jincheng, "Zihan, you just recovered, don't go out."

  "Uncle Han, you're really good to me, just tell me what happened to Qin Kexiu," Cheng Zihan asked, grasping Han Jincheng's hand and asking pleadingly.

  Han Jinchen was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Han Yi.

  Han Yi shook his head, but this subtle movement was caught by Cheng Zihan, who couldn't help but get furious. "Han Yi! Are you also going to deceive me?"

  Han Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily shook his head, wanting to explain urgently, but the words reached his lips and were forcibly suppressed.

  "None of you are going to say anything? Fine, I'll go find out myself!" Cheng Zihan was really angry now, and she directly shook off Han Jincheng's hand and was about to leave.

  But just as she took two steps out, her head spun and her body swayed a few times, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Han Jinchen caught her in time.

  Although the injuries on her body had almost healed through self-repair, she was still too weak, and coupled with her impulsive temperament, her body naturally couldn't take it.

  Han Jingchen hugged Cheng Zihan and pressed her back onto the bed. Seeing that Cheng Zihan was excited again and wanted to get out of bed, he also lost his temper, "Enough!"

  Cheng Zihan finally calmed down under the overwhelming aura of Han Jingchen, sitting on the bed with pursed lips and not saying a word, that stubborn look was exactly like someone.

  Han Jingchen looked at her and couldn't help but sigh, finally turning to Han Yi, "Xiao Yi, just tell her what happened."

  Han Yi hesitated for a moment, looking at Cheng Zihan's anxious face and then glancing at Han Jingchen's cold expression. Finally, he let out a sigh and slowly began to speak: "Qin Kexiu, he suddenly disappeared."

  Han Yi said, and then he recounted the events that had occurred at the city gate earlier. After finishing, he added a sentence: "When he disappeared, I felt a gust of wind blowing by, as if someone was taking him away, but my feeling wasn't very clear, the wind passed too quickly. At that time, Qin Kesu suddenly disappeared, and you were about to fall to the ground. I was busy rescuing you, so I didn't feel clearly."

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath, forced a smile on her lips and asked tentatively: "Hanyi, what you just told me was a lie, right? It's not true?"

  Han Yi just stared at Cheng Zihuan, shook his head and didn't say a word.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes were brimming with tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. "Why didn't you save him?"

  Qin Kesu suddenly disappeared, making Cheng Zihan feel like she had lost something in her heart, the empty feeling made her want to cry.

  She scolded Han Yi, even though she knew she was being unreasonable, but she still wanted to vent the helplessness, loss and sadness in her heart.

  Han Yi didn't say anything, his face filled with guilt.

  Han Jingchen comforted Cheng Zihan without saying a word.

  The door was opened again, and the person who came in was Tian Can. He also seemed to have felt that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right, so he only pushed open a crack in the door, poked out his little head, looked left and right, saw that Cheng Zihan's face didn't look good, and then carefully pushed open the door and walked in, slowly walking to the side of Cheng Zihan's bed, and cautiously called out: "Sister Zihan?"

  Cheng Zihan ignored him.

  Tian Can vaguely felt that things seemed to have gone a bit too far, so he quietly stood aside and didn't say anything.

  The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive, and the joy brought by Cheng Zihans awakening had all disappeared due to Qin Kes mysterious disappearance.

  The disappearance of Qin Kexiu was indeed too mysterious. Here, except for Tian Can and Cheng Zihuan, no one else knew Qin Kexiu's true identity. Even Cheng Hai only knew that Qin Kexiu had always been by Cheng Zihuan's side, helping her build up more than half of her empire. As for what kind of person Qin Kexiu was and what his identity was, it was all unclear.

  Taking a deep breath, Cheng Zihan closed his eyes and said softly to the crowd in the room: "You all go out, let me be quiet for a while."

  Han Jingchen was a bit uneasy at first, but seeing Cheng Zihans expression, he didn't say much either, nodded and got up to leave.

  Han Yi glanced at Cheng Zihan and softly said "sorry" before following Han Jingchen out.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan didn't know how to comfort Cheng Zihan, an eight-year-old girl shouldn't have the complex emotions of adults, they were unclear for a while what was the reason why Cheng Zihan was so sad and heartbroken, so they didn't comfort her either, and directly turned around and left.

  Tian Can looked at Cheng Zihan for a moment, hesitated, and then said in a low voice: "That old tree demon told me to tell you that Qin Kexiu was seriously injured this time and will not be able to come out for a long time. Be careful yourself, if there's nothing important, it's better not to stay in Yunnan anymore. There are many old monsters here, if you continue to stay, you may be in danger."

  After Tian Can finished speaking, he was afraid that Cheng Zihang would look for trouble with him, so he slipped away quietly.

  Cheng Zihan's spirits lifted significantly after hearing what Tiansan had said.

  At least there is news of Qin Kexiu now. It seems that Mangcang should have rescued him and brought him back, but what's his current situation?

  Cheng Zihan was worried all along, and as soon as he had the thought, he wanted to enter the Tree Spirit Space, but found that the connection between the Tree Spirit Space and the outside world had been severed again.

  This can only mean one thing: Mang Cang has sealed off the Tree Spirit Space!

  It seems I still can't go see Qin Ke Xiu's situation, just hope he is fine.

  Taking a deep breath, Cheng Zihan finally put down his hanging heart.

  The next morning, the five freaks of Yu Nan finally brought out all the treasures they had collected over the years.

  They are obsessed with jade, so the collection is naturally all jade. There are tearful nephrite, Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Xiuyan jade, and various other precious jades. In addition to these, there are also rubies, sapphires, and even diamonds scattered randomly in the box.

  These five people really are rich and extravagant.

  Cheng Zihan was worried about Qin Kexiu's situation, so when she saw these treasures, she didn't have a big reaction, and lazily responded with a single word, then let Han Yi and the others collect and pack them to be transported back directly.

  Because of the reminder from Tian Can, Cheng Zihan also didn't plan to continue staying in Yu Nan. This trip to Yunnan was cancelled due to an unexpected event involving Qin Ke Xiu. That afternoon, Cheng Zihan and his group took a flight back to Nan City.

  When the plane landed in Nancheng, Cheng Zihan felt a faint sense of unease, as if something was about to change in this city too.

  Six people got on a bus returning to Wang City from the airport in Nan City. This time, they had been away for quite some time and were all somewhat worried about their families' situations.

  All the way safe, three hours later, the car finally stopped at Wangcheng Station.

  Cheng Zihan got off first, smelling the familiar air of Wangcheng, and felt extremely comfortable.

  Just as they stood firm, a large group of armed police suddenly surrounded them, encircling Cheng Zihang and others. The leader was none other than Yan Qi, whom Cheng Zihang had not seen for a long time.

  "Miss Cheng, what a coincidence! We meet again." Yan Qi gave a gentleman's bow to Cheng Zihan and smiled as he greeted her.

  "What bad luck, I've seen you again. It seems that for a while, there won't be any good mood." Cheng Zihan rolled her eyes and gave Yan Qi an unhappy glance.

  This man has appeared, and it's definitely not going to be anything good, just don't know what bad news he's brought this time.

  Han Jingchen took a cold step forward and blocked Cheng Zihan's way.

  "It turned out to be Uncle Han, junior has been polite." Yan Qi smiled warmly and politely at Han Jingchen.

  Han Jingchen let out a cold hum, then pointed to the armed police surrounding them with their guns trained on them. "Polite? This politeness is really too much for me, I can barely take it."

  Yan Qi was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing, "Right, look at my memory, we came here to catch the culprit, of course, the gun can't be pointed at you. Come on, take them away!"

  Yan Qi waved his hand and pointed at two people, who were unexpectedly Cheng Hai and Li Lan!

  Cheng Zihan hastily took a step forward, blocking her parents' line of sight: "Yan Qi, what do you mean by this?"

  Yan Qi looked down at Cheng Zihan, smiled coldly and said, "What do you mean? Of course, I'm here to arrest the culprits. Cheng Hai and Li Lan have been using the plantation and breeding farm to plant large quantities of opium poppies, a plant that is strictly prohibited by the state. When we sealed off the plantation and breeding farm a few days ago, we found a large quantity of dried and processed opium. Now I'm here under orders to arrest the main culprits behind the massive planting and selling of narcotics. Miss Cheng, do you want to be taken away with them too? Unfortunately, you're still too young. According to national law, those under 16 years old cannot be detained. Take her away!"

  Yan Qi kindly explained it to Cheng Zihan again, and with a big wave of his hand, he ordered people to capture Cheng Hai and Li Lan.

  Cheng Zihan was furious and glared at Yan Qi: "If you want to add insult to injury, what's the point of having an excuse? What do you people really want to do?"

  "What are you doing? Cheng Zihan, you shouldn't be asking me this question. If anyone is to blame, it's yourself for being too high-profile and showy. Wealth should not be revealed, and you don't even know how to keep a low profile. You've made a fortune from selling land and building houses, becoming the real estate leader of Nan City, and have so many secrets in your hands. How many people have you offended? How many people's greed have you provoked? Do you know that if anything happens to your parents, it will be a disaster brought upon them by you?" Yan Qi whispered into Cheng Zihan's ear, her teeth clenched in a cold smile.

  Cheng Zihan's chest kept heaving, but she couldn't think of anything to refute him.

  No matter how hard she tries to make herself stronger, no matter how strong the backing she can rely on is, but in the end she still can't defeat the country, can't defeat the greed of national leaders!

  The Great China will never surpass other countries, and there is a reason for that!

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said to Yan Qi: "When I let you go that time, it was really my fault for being too kind! Yan Qi, remember, it's best not to fall into my hands again, or else I'll make you wish you were dead!"

  "Haha!" Yan Qi didn't get angry, but instead smiled coldly at Cheng Zihang, saying word by word: "I'm afraid that before you make me wish I were dead, I'll first make your parents wish they were dead."

  "How dare you!"

  Digression

  I'm crawling, I'm crawling, I've been crawling a lot lately. I think it's because I've been typing too much code. Suddenly, I have the illusion that my belly has grown bigger due to all the characters.

  Woe is me! I gritted my teeth and persisted. Today, this chapter was written and deleted, deleted and rewritten, and it took a long time to finally get it out!

  Hmmm, let's get a girl to warm up the bed and stimulate some inspiration.
