CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 451 DISCUSS YOUR PROBLEMS (4/5)

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, thinking that this was indeed the arrangement of fate.

Looking at Yang Chen, Master Ye’s face grew increasingly grim.

He suddenly recalled the events of many years ago and remembered that poem.

Nine skies of auspicious clouds hide the dragon,

The heavenly stems and earthly branches are disconnected;

Meeting the Red Land, storms surge,

Driving the phoenix shall secure all lives!

It was precisely because of this poem that the Yang family suffered a catastrophic disaster.

In Elder Ye’s view, two lines of this poem have now been fulfilled.

Nine skies of auspicious clouds hide the dragon.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the dragon mentioned at that time referred to Yang Chen.

Moreover, Yang Chen is now also the instructor of Dragon Tooth, this dragon is indeed that dragon!

Back then the Yang family suffered a disaster while Yang Chen remained unharmed, unknown to most. Isn’t this exactly the meaning of ’nine skies of auspicious clouds hide the dragon’?

Furthermore, driving the phoenix shall secure all lives!

Isn’t Ye Xin the phoenix?

The noble Fire Phoenix!

Now with the two of them together, doesn’t that confirm the poem from back then?

If this is indeed true, even if the current rulers don’t believe in these feudal ideas, they probably won’t allow someone like Yang Chen to exist!

"No way! I absolutely do not agree with your matters!" Master Ye’s calm demeanor suddenly shifted to firmness.

Yang Chen shook his head, softly saying, "Master Ye, let’s not discuss my problems. Let’s talk about yours! Perhaps this might change your attitude."

"My problem?" Elder Ye frowned deeply.

"That’s right!" Yang Chen nodded affirmatively and said gravely, "Master Ye, if I’m not mistaken, you probably won’t make it to this time next year, will you?"

"What do you mean?" Elder Ye sat up abruptly, angrily rebuking.

Yang Chen was unfazed by Elder Ye’s wrath, smiling slightly, "Master Ye, you must have a clear idea of what I’m talking about, right?"

Looking at Yang Chen’s confident expression and that slightly mysterious smile made Elder Ye feel uneasy in his heart.

Actually, this secret had been hidden in Elder Ye’s heart for nearly twenty years.

It was probably eighteen years ago.

That was when the Yang family was destroyed.

Elder Ye’s old illness relapsed, causing him great pain as he went back to Jin Chen for recuperation.

In fact, the reason Elder Ye arranged a childhood betrothal with the Yang family was because of his excellent relationship with Elder Yang.

If he had known about what was happening to the Yang family, he would never have stood idly by.

But the fact was, he knew nothing about it at the time, only hearing about it long after everything was over.

Upon learning of the Yang family’s demise, Elder Ye beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret, but everything was already irretrievable.

The reason things turned out like this was because Elder Ye’s old illness had become so severe that it posed a threat to his life.

At that time, someone appeared and came to the artificial sea.

These people were of extraordinary identity, telling Elder Ye not only could they cure his old illness, but they could also prolong his life.

After understanding the prowess of these people, Elder Ye believed them wholeheartedly.

It was also at that time that Ye Xin was taken by those people, taken as a disciple, and trained for a long time before returning.

And just as they had said, Elder Ye’s life was prolonged, no longer troubled by his old illness. And Ye Xin also became increasingly exceptional, adored by others, with Elder Ye devoting all his thoughts to her, doting on her.

However, it was also because of this that every year at this time, Elder Ye needed to go into seclusion for training; otherwise, his life would be at risk.

So when Yang Chen said he wouldn’t last until this time next year, it worried Elder Ye, making him feel that Yang Chen somehow had some knowledge.

"What exactly are you talking about? What do you know?" Elder Ye stared closely at Yang Chen, speaking in a deep voice.

Yang Chen stood up and said to Elder Ye, "Master Ye, could you allow me to conduct an experiment?"

"What kind of experiment?" Master Ye looked at Yang Chen with caution.

"Just a simple way of checking, I’ve studied some ancient medicine, I can help you examine your body!" With that, Yang Chen was already walking toward Elder Ye.

Elder Ye thought for a moment but did not stop him, nor did he make any moves. That demeanor already tacitly agreed to Yang Chen’s actions.

Yang Chen extended his finger and pressed on Elder Ye’s right shoulder, three inches below the neck, asking, "Do you feel any soreness or numbness?"

Elder Ye frowned and said, "A bit..."

Then, Yang Chen changed positions and pressed on the back of Elder Ye’s neck, "Does it hurt?"

"A bit..." Elder Ye’s ominous feeling grew stronger.

Yang Chen lifted Elder Ye’s arm and pressed under Elder Ye’s armpit, "Does it hurt?"

"Hiss!" Elder Ye drew in a cold breath, his brows furrowing in pain.

This pain was not in the places Yang Chen pointed to, but a spasmodic pain from inside his abdomen and chest cavity.

Seeing Elder Ye’s expression, Yang Chen didn’t need to ask any further to know Elder Ye felt the pain.

Yang Chen briefly pressed on a few locations including Elder Ye’s chest, lower abdomen, inner thigh, and between the thumb and forefinger.

After completing these, Elder Ye was drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through.

In this air-conditioned room with very comfortable temperature, at this moment Elder Ye looked as if he were sunbathing under a scorching sun, sweating profusely.

"How... how could... how could this be?" Elder Ye gasped, surprised, asking.

At this very moment, Elder Ye felt as if his body were on fire, with unbearable pain inside his abdomen and chest cavity, and his limbs’ tendons felt like they were burning, suffering profusely, drenched in sweat like rain.

"What exactly... did you do to me?" Elder Ye was both angry and frustrated.

Yang Chen looked at Elder Ye coolly, spreading his hands, "I didn’t use any methods, just triggered the hidden illness in your body. Someday, if these stubborn illnesses break out while you’re in seclusion, you probably wouldn’t even know how you died!"

Hearing this, Master Ye was startled with a shiver, cold sweat dripping down.

"What... do you mean?" Elder Ye glared at Yang Chen, deeply shocked.

"It’s quite simple!" Yang Chen said flatly, "If I’m not mistaken, someone must have taught you a secret prescription for prolonging life, right? Both taking medicines and following their culturing methods to achieve life extension, even suppressing some minor maladies in your body and potentially severe symptoms."

Elder Ye widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe that Yang Chen, with just a few simple acupoints, revealed so many things!

"How... how do you know?" Elder Ye asked in astonishment.

Yang Chen smiled lightly, "I felt something was off the first moment I saw you in the hall, turns out you were indeed being... played."

Although Yang Chen did not utter the last word, Elder Ye knew Yang Chen meant he was being made a fool.

Yet, this method truly prolonged his life!
