CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 459 FOR YE XIN (7/7)

Yang Chen came outside and waited.

Before long, Dongzi, Ye Xin, and Yang Cao arrived.

The three of them ran over and stood in front of Yang Chen.

"Boss, you were looking for me?" Yang Cao asked Yang Chen.

Because of their unique identity, they rarely appeared so openly in front of so many people.

Yang Chen nodded and said to Ye Xin and Dongzi, "You two wait outside first, Yang Cao and I will go in!"

After speaking, Yang Chen didn’t explain to the two and directly took Yang Cao inside.

Yang Cao’s real name was not Yang Cao. He only changed his name after he followed Yang Chen.

The reason he was called Yang Cao was because he was particularly interested in grass, far more than flowers. He was more skilled in using insects. He could masterfully handle all sorts of poisonous insects, and none could decipher the various poisons he concocted.

If Yang Cao wanted to poison someone, there was no escaping it.

The most amazing thing was that Yang Cao liked using insects to poison, completely controlling the bugs, mysterious and extraordinary!

Thus, Yang Chen sought Yang Cao’s help.

The two came before Master Ye.

Master Ye looked at Yang Chen in confusion, unsure why he had called someone else.

Yang Chen said, "Master Ye, let my brother check you out. He’s an expert with poisonous insects!"

Hearing this, Master Ye suddenly understood Yang Chen’s intention.

He nodded, ready for Yang Cao to examine him.

Yang Chen said to Yang Cao, "Check Master Ye; he’s got a parasite infestation."

"Infestation?" Yang Cao frowned, studying Master Ye carefully.

Then, Yang Cao extended his finger, lightly sliding it over Master Ye’s arm, gently stroking it for a while.

Feeling Yang Cao’s actions, Master Ye also frowned.

Because Yang Cao’s touch was so gentle and soft, his hands extremely smooth, it caused a discomforting sensation.

After stroking for a while, Yang Cao withdrew his hand and frowned at Yang Chen: "Boss, can you force out one insect? I seem to already know what it is."

He wanted to confirm once more.

During their stay in Jin Chen over these two days, they had completed their intelligence work, aware of the complicated identity of the old man before them, being extremely cautious. Any mistake could greatly jeopardize their subsequent work.

Yang Chen nodded, looked around, picked up a tea tray, and then said to Master Ye, "Master, this might hurt a bit, bear with it!"

Master Ye nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Chen grabbed Master Ye’s arm, his palm pressed on the shoulder, then slowly moved downward, pressing swiftly and forcefully.

From shoulder to wrist, just as Yang Chen released, Master Ye couldn’t help but frown.

He felt a pain in his bones, as if someone was tearing his muscles.

At this moment, Yang Chen placed his hand back on Master Ye’s shoulder and suddenly pulled downward!

Swish!

In an instant, sliding from shoulder to wrist.

Master Ye yelled out in pain, unable to help himself, "Ah!"

The cry of pain was very loud.

Ye Xin outside heard the noise and immediately rushed over, wanting to push open the door.

But after pushing twice, she found the door locked.

Immediately, Ye Xin became anxious, lifted her foot and kicked the door open, rushing in with Dongzi.

Upon entering, Ye Xin saw Yang Chen’s nails sharp as knives, scraping Master Ye’s wrist skin and squeezing out a white insect!

The insect dropped onto the tea tray, still writhing, utterly revolting.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xin’s face turned pale.

She quickly approached in a few steps and asked, "What is this? What’s going on?"

This white insect squeezed from Master Ye’s body, could it have been parasitic the whole time?

Yang Chen frowned at Ye Xin, then said to Dongzi, "Dongzi! Continue guarding outside! Don’t let anyone in!"

Master Ye glanced at the thing on the tea tray, his face pale, weakly saying to Ye Xin, "Xinxin, you should go out too!"

"No!" Ye Xin replied firmly, "What’s going on here? How did this thing come from you?"

Ye Xin was very concerned at this moment.

Yang Chen said solemnly, "Xinxin, don’t worry for now, I’ll explain it to you slowly!"

Saying so, Yang Chen handed the tea tray to Yang Cao, "Take a look, have you seen such a thing before?"

Yang Cao took the tray, glanced at it, and nodded, "Yes, I’ve seen it!"

Watching this scene, Ye Xin realized Yang Chen was treating her grandfather, so she stopped asking questions and stood quietly aside.

Yang Cao used tweezers to prod and examine the insect, saying, "I’ve seen this, it’s rarely noticed by the outside world because it’s quite miraculous. It either kills its host or gets absorbed by them, extremely polarizing. I’ve seen it twice, once in Lijia Continent, where I saw a Lijia lion sluggishly walking and not chasing prey, eventually collapsing. When I approached, I found the lion emaciated and discovered this insect after dissecting it."

"According to my research, this insect reproduces asexually. They have collective intelligence, with one queen responsible for breeding and command. Once the queen identifies a body or structure, they proliferate to occupy and control it. Moreover, if they target an elephant, they grow huge; if they target a mouse, they become small, adapting to their environment."

"Do you have a way to solve this?" Yang Chen asked, "I need you to cure Master Ye!"

"This..." Yang Cao frowned and said, "Killing these insects is quite simple; I can concoct several potions right now. But the problem is, the insects merge with the host. Now that the insect is this large, killing it might mean Master Ye doesn’t have long to live."

Hearing this, Ye Xin’s face turned pale.

Although mentally prepared, Master Ye couldn’t help but sigh upon hearing these words.

"Forget it, if it means death, then so be it, prepare the potion, and I’ll take care of my affairs before ending it myself to avoid troubling future generations!" Master Ye said.

He didn’t want to become a puppet after death, letting the Ye family be controlled.

"No!" Ye Xin immediately said, "Grandpa! How could you say such a thing! I will never let you die!"

After that, Ye Xin held Yang Chen, inquiring, "Husband, do you have any other methods?"

Yang Chen also frowned, pondering for a while, and slowly said, "I do have one method, we could try, but it will take some time."

"I can help too!" Yang Cao said, "With the boss’s medical skills and my knowledge of this insect, saving Master Ye is definitely possible!"

Hearing this, Master Ye couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"No need to make it hard, it’s in fate’s hands," Master Ye said, having truly accepted it.

Yang Chen shook his head and said to Master Ye, "I said I will cure you, and I certainly will! Even if not for you, I will never let Ye Xin be sad!"

Yang Chen could see that Ye Xin had deep feelings for Master Ye.
