Chapter 507: Chapter 451: Have You Been Kicked in the Head by a Donkey?

The setting sun dipped below the horizon, twilight descended, and an elderly man clad in a black robe with graying hair arrived at a hutong in Yanjing, its threshold no less significant than the Hong Qiang Courtyard.

"Master Wumu!"

At the entrance to the hutong, two members of the Yanhuang Organization in charge of security, upon seeing Master Wumu in his black robe, hastily offered their respects with extreme deference.

Outwardly they were members of the Yanhuang Organization, but in reality, they were cultivators brought under the wing of the Bai Family, even to the point of being Bai Family’s assassins. They were specifically placed within the Yanhuang Organization by unique means, tasked with a single duty day to day: to ensure the safety of Bai Yuan!

Although Master Wumu could be considered a cultivator brought under the wing of the Bai Family too, as the Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect and a Gang Qi Realm Cultivator with extraordinary strength, his identity and status were far beyond that of these Bai Family’s assassins. He could converse on equal terms with Bai Yuan.

Upon hearing the greeting from the two Bai Family’s assassins, Master Wumu, with an impassive, stern face, remained indifferent, brushing past the two as if they were air, his figure drifting towards the central courtyard in the hutong, like a phantom.

Confronted with Master Wumu’s indifference, the two Bai Family’s assassins felt neither anger nor resentment; not even a trace of surprise, on the contrary, they would have been surprised if Master Wumu, famously known as the living Ghost King, had exchanged pleasantries with them with a smile.

"Master Wumu, XX is waiting for you in the study," said the secretary to Bai Yuan, who had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard for some time. As soon as he saw Master Wumu approaching, he hurriedly went up to greet him, his posture extremely lowered.

On one hand, Master Wumu, as a Supreme Strongman of the Gang Qi Realm, was entirely of standing to have an equal conversation with him; on the other, Master Wumu was highly valued by Bai Yuan and was one of the Bai Family’s greatest assets within the Cultivation World. How could he dare to put on airs?

"Hmm."

Master Wumu nodded coldly and floated into the Bai Family Mansion.

Like the Ye Family Mansion, the Bai Family Mansion was created by connecting three individual courtyards, divided into the inner, middle, and outer courtyard.

Ever since the death of Old Sir Bai and Bai Yuan ascended to control the Bai Family to squeeze into the pinnacle of the power pyramid, he had taken residence in the inner courtyard.

"Bai XX, what matter brings you to summon me so urgently?" asked Master Wumu as he entered the study of the inner courtyard after a minute. His expression deliberately adjusted to be less austere, still cast a cold impression, corresponding with the eerie aura around him and naturally repelling people from getting close.

"I heard that Old Sir Ye is hanging by a thread, trying to sustain his life with old ginseng. I thought of taking you with me to see him," Bai Yuan said straightforwardly.

"Fine."

Upon hearing this, Master Wumu’s mind cleared like a mirror—Bai Yuan wanted him to observe whether Old Sir Ye was deceiving the world or was truly hanging by his last breath!

"Let’s leave now while it’s still light out, to avoid any suspicion or talks, lest people think I’m going to deliberately upset the old man to his demise," said Bai Yuan. Seeing Master Wumu agree so readily, he let out a meaningful smile, then stood up, took Master Wumu with him, left the study, exited the mansion, and rode in one of Huaxia’s most distinguished vehicles to hospital 301’s inner courtyard.

Meanwhile.

Chu Ji, driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom, with Yan, Chu Xuanji, and Ye Fan inside, entered hospital 301, heading straight for the inner courtyard.

Ordinarily, with Yan’s status, he could, like Ye Zhen and Bai Yuan, have a designated car with one of Huaxia’s most distinguished license plates, but as the current number one strong person in the world, he rarely took a car—his speed had already surpassed the limits a car could reach in an urban setting!

As Yan had mentioned, the inner courtyard of hospital 301 was quite special, and even Chu Ji driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom, was stopped at the entrance to the court.

At the entrance to the inner courtyard, four individuals were tasked with guarding and patrolling—two were military agents and two were members of the Yanhuang Organization.

"Hello, the area ahead is restricted. Without a pass, entry is strictly prohibited," said one of the military agents as he saw the Phantom stop, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"May I ask if the Leader of the Yanhuang Organization, ’Yan,’ is permitted to enter?" asked Chu Ji with a smile that could charm the lives out of men, her voice tender.

"Uh..."

The military agent was left stunned upon hearing Chu Ji’s words, gawking for a moment before he instinctively turned his gaze to the rear seat of the car, catching sight of Yan and Chu Xuanji.

"Please... please hold on!"

Never having seen Yan before but sensing the distinctive aura emanating from Yan and Chu Xuanji, the military agent spoke with palpable tension, then turned to one of the Yanhuang Organization members, stammering, "Your... your Leader Yan is here!"

"Who??"

The two members of the Yanhuang Organization exclaimed in shock upon hearing this, filled with disbelief.

To them, a Rolls-Royce Phantom might be expensive and proclaimed the king of cars, but Yan should have arrived in a designated car proper of his status.

After all, while Yan’s car might not be as costly as the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the license plate symbolized an identity and status far out of reach for a Rolls-Royce Phantom!

Swish!

In disbelief, the two members of the Yanhuang Organization once again turned their gaze towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and through the car window, they caught sight of Yan sitting in the back.

"Leader... Leader Yan!"

Upon seeing Yan, the two members of the Yanhuang Organization were taken aback and promptly stood up straight to salute.

"We are here to visit Old Ye, please let us through," said Yan from within the car, speaking calmly. His voice was not loud but miraculously traveled outside the car, clearly reaching the ears of the two Yanhuang Organization members.

"Let... let them through!"

Upon hearing this, the two members of the Yanhuang Organization quickly shouted to the military agent responsible for opening the gate, then looked on with the same reverence and piety as a faithful worshiping the divine, watching the Rolls-Royce Phantom enter the inner courtyard.

"In Huaxia, the wealthy are never as powerful as those with authority," Chu Ji joked as she drove the car toward the inner courtyard building entrance.

Hearing Chu Ji’s sigh, Ye Fan agreed wholeheartedly. In contrast, Yan and Chu Xuanji remained indifferent. The former didn’t care about so-called privileges, while the latter had no interest in secular power whatsoever.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the inner courtyard building. The Yanhuang Organization members who had been notified earlier lined up to salute even before the car doors opened.

In addition to them, the military agents cooperating with the Yanhuang Organization for security also learned that the Leader of the Yanhuang Organization had arrived and saluted the car in unison.

When the car door opened, Chu Ji was the first to hop out and went around to open the door for Yan and Chu Xuanji, while Ye Fan looked up at the mysterious and unique inner courtyard building.

According to Chu Xuanji, the institute where the drug to resist the destroy virus was developed was located here—below this building.

"Six years ago, you could have become the Savior here, crowned a hero who saved humanity, but you weren’t interested and let your master take that title. Today, I intended to lend you a hand to change the fate of Old Master Ye against the heavens, but I didn’t expect you to want to perform the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique yourself for your father. It’s really quite interesting."

Chu Xuanji got out of the car and looked at Ye Fan, unable to help but sigh and smile, "You and Ji go upstairs first. After slapping those Ye Family members and negotiating the use of the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique with Old Master Ye, Old Yan and I will go up."

"Alright."

Ye Fan nodded and walked into the inner courtyard building with Chu Ji.

Yan gave a bitter smile, "If the Ye Family knew of your beloved disciple’s capabilities, they’d probably be green with regret."

"Hey, with my disciple’s temperament, it won’t be so easy for them to turn over a new leaf," Chu Xuanji said with a cold laugh.

Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but said nothing more.

Ye Fan and Chu Ji had an unobstructed path and went straight up to the third floor of the inner courtyard building.

At the end of the third-floor corridor of the inner courtyard building, aside from Ye Zhen and Ye Wenhao, all the other members of the Ye Family were still gathered there, not daring to leave.

"Ding-dong—"

With a soft sound, the elevator doors opened, and Ye Fan and Chu Ji stepped out.

"That... that bastard, how comes he’s here?"

In front of the intensive care unit, Ye Long, with sharp eyes, was the first to spot Ye Fan and Chu Ji.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Upon hearing Ye Long’s words, the other Ye Family members, as if drawn by a pull, turned their gaze toward Ye Fan and Chu Ji.

In an instant.

Everyone was stunned!

Their eyes widened in shock as they stared at Ye Fan, their expressions seeming to say: He should be detained by the Yanhuang Organization, right? How could he be here??

"Could it be that my third uncle pleaded with Old Master Ye and protected that bastard?"

Ye Long was the first to snap out of shock, muttering to himself out of habitual hate when referring to Ye Fan as a bastard.

"It must be so, otherwise how could he appear here unharmed?"

Ye Wenling instinctively agreed, then said furiously, "That jerk put Grandpa at death’s door and got our Ye Family into this mess. Why should Grandpa care about him?"

"Grandpa has always been very indulgent with third uncle. If third uncle pleaded bitterly, it’s very possible Grandpa softened and agreed," Ye Wenjun reasoned, used to working for the police, and then looked to the third generation’s eldest Ye Wentao, "Big brother, I suggest we go to our father or Grandpa to discuss. We absolutely can’t spare this scoundrel; otherwise, he’ll continue to bring disaster to our Ye Family!"

"Second brother, what do you think?" Ye Wentao sought Ye Wenhai’s opinion.

There was no answer.

Ye Wenhai was staring at Ye Fan and Chu Ji, his brows tightly furrowed, his face filled with confusion and doubt. Ye Zhen had personally told him they would sacrifice Ye Wenhao, letting him willingly confess and go to prison, in exchange for the chance for him to become an elder.

Now, not only was Ye Wenhao not in prison, but Ye Fan also showed up here unharmed...

The shock this brought him far exceeded that of the others!

Because... reason told him that even if Ye Fan truly escaped punishment, it absolutely wasn’t thanks to Old Master Ye!

Unlike Ye Wenhai, the others were unaware of everything Ye Zhen had privately told him.

Seeing Ye Wenhai’s silence, Ye Wenling, who had always been displeased with Ye Fan, spoke up again with venom, "We must talk to Dad or Grandpa about this - he’s already caused so much trouble for our family. Why should Grandpa care whether he lives or dies? Just let him hurry up and die!"

"You really like to flatter yourselves—the old mixed-breed of the Ye Family is on his deathbed, the Ye Family can’t even protect itself, and you think you can save Xiao Fan?"

Hearing Ye Wenling’s offensive words again, Chu Ji couldn’t hold back any longer, her face filled with a cold sneer, "I think all of your brains must have been kicked by a donkey!!"
