CHAPTER 518: 517

Sun Reincarnation, seems to be a phrase from a book, but upon deeper thought, it is unclear and indistinct.

"Master."

With a crisp voice, a girl entered through the door; it was none other than Miss Jenny. This girl who revered Jane Eyre but dared not truly love.

Seeing the man lying on White Bull, Jenny was startled for a moment and only came back to her senses when Ye Tian opened his eyes.

"Hehe, Miss Jenny doesn’t recognize me?"

Ye Tian greeted her, but received no response. Jenny walked over to the Master’s side and helped her into the room, which Ye Tian found quite strange.

The Esoteric Master looked at her with a somewhat strange expression and asked, "Jenny, what’s wrong? Did something happen?"

Jenny shook her head but couldn’t help turning to look at Ye Tian, biting her lip and asking, "Did you kill someone?"

Kill someone? Ye Tian was about to deny it but suddenly remembered the person involved in control Gu he encountered in the slum last night; however, that person committed suicide!

Seeing him not speaking, Jenny continued to ask, "Was it in the slum area, where you killed a Thai and even stripped him of his clothes, and also destroyed his house?"

That’s right, to destroy the evidence and to prevent the insects he raised from harming others, Ye Tian set his entire house on fire. The surrounding areas were just grasslands, and the nearest woods were hundreds of steps away. Moreover, both people watched the house burn down before leaving—there shouldn’t have been anyone who could have seen it.

"There are your fingerprints at the scene, and there are witnesses who reported."

"Witnesses? Who?"

This response was clearly an unintentional admission. Ye Tian, seeing her reaction, knew he had slipped up but didn’t dwell on it. Given her serious manner, what she said next surprised Ye Tian even more.

"The witness is the very person you killed. He didn’t die at all."

"He didn’t die!"

"Right, not only is he not dead, but he’s also the State Preceptor of the Thai Royal Family. If this is not handled properly, it could turn into a political issue. I really doubt whether you are capable of killing someone!"

Judging by her tone, it seemed that she did not find fault with Ye Tian killing someone; instead, she felt disappointed that he couldn’t kill properly.

Could it be a feigned death? Or a body double? Ye Tian now had no interest in what she was saying, his mind was in turmoil. Last night, Chu Tianying and Gui Xiao were with him, although they didn’t show up in front of Gamot. Now that a feigned death had occurred, there was nothing that couldn’t happen.

"You two talk, I have some matters to handle."

Hastily speaking, Ye Tian dashed out the door. The first thing he needed to do was to ensure the safety of Chu Tianying and Gui Xiao. Otherwise, in this city, he would truly be alone.

The bustle on the streets of the Capital was nothing more than a fleeting sight for Ye Tian, who was weaving through the crowd. The grand Buddhist temple housing all the revered Gods and Buddhas seemed to coldly watch over this young man rushing among the people. There were also the crisscrossing rivers, with little boats gliding under the gentle sun, their white sails a delightful sight. Under normal circumstances, he might have spared them a glance, but now, he wished all the people blocking his way were dead.

His steps were hurried, yet there was still space in his mind to think about other things. Right now, his brain was rapidly trying to understand how this Thai Master of Witchcraft could resurrect right before his eyes. After all, he could even detect feigned death, but that body was indeed a real corpse!

A real corpse!

Ye Tian suddenly stopped. This moment of epiphany offered him a seemingly incorrect answer, which was a corpse. But whose corpse was it? If the living could change their faces, couldn’t the dead be made up? Moreover, the other party was a Master of Witchcraft who could become the State Preceptor. Performing small tricks on a corpse was simply too easy. A corpse to him was like fabric to a tailor, easy to patch and mend.

He understood.

Ye Tian felt a sudden clarity in his heart. This could explain why he couldn’t find the Ice Worm, why he was caught, and why there were his fingerprints and footprints. Everything made sense.

But after figuring all this out, Ye Tian’s worry grew even stronger. Since he had already been targeted, they definitely wouldn’t let him off easily, even if it cost him his life.

His mind was filled with these messy thoughts, so Ye Tian decided not to care anymore; he would first find Gui Xiao and Chu Tianying and think of a plan.

When he returned to the hotel, Gui Xiao and Chu Tianying were already there, but there were a few more people.

A white-haired old man was in their room, and several people stretched from the corridor to the entrance.

"Are you Ye Tian?"

The old white man glanced at him and asked.

Gui Xiao stood pitifully aside, while Chu Tianying, without any hint of politeness, was sitting in a chair, legs crossed smoking a cigarette, occasionally tapping the ash off. Ye Tian knew his capabilities; right now, no one could stop him if he wanted to go.

With him here, Ye Tian finally relaxed completely.

After composing himself a bit, Ye Tian approached the man admiring the wall paintings, saying, "I am Ye Tian. May I know if there’s any advice you have for me, sir?"

Ye Tian observed the man closely; he had the typical physique of a white person, tall and, though aged, emanated an aura not common among ordinary people. This man held a high position without the commonly seen belly, showing his high self-discipline. Being able to maintain such discipline while holding a position of great wealth and power indicated that this man was not simple. To think cautiously while seemingly secure, not just anyone can do this; nominally secure, but actually harboring greater ambitions.

"I am Jenny’s father. I have heard about you from her, so I came to see you."

Jenny’s father.

Ye Tian didn’t react for a moment until Chu Tianya added, "He’s my half-partner, a temporary collaboration. The Minister of Commerce, remember?"

Chu Tianying explained, and slowly, Ye Tian came back to his senses. This was the Minister of Commerce, the decisive chess piece between the Democrat Party and the Liberal Party, whose power and influence couldn’t be explained in just a few words.

"So it’s Mr. Johnson, my apologies for the oversight."
