Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Chen Qian Visits

"Chen Qian, what brings you here?"

Seeing the cheerful girl bouncing into the hall, Ye Fei couldn’t help but smile slightly.

The unease in his heart caused by his mother’s amnesia and the earlier troubles from the Du Family and Hao Family dissipated instantly.

Because standing before him was none other than Chen Qian, the daughter of Chen Xing from Su Province, and the little sister he had recognized in Yuntai.

Since their last meeting at the Purple Mist Building, Ye Fei’s once peaceful cultivation life had undergone tremendous changes, and he hadn’t seen Chen Qian since then.

During his clash with Wang Tong at the Purple Mist Building, he only caught a fleeting glimpse of Wu Xia and the others, but Chen Qian was nowhere to be found.

Now, seeing Ye Fei, Chen Qian was equally delighted, though she still respectfully bowed to Ye Cheng beside them and sweetly said, "Hello, Grandpa Ye!"

"Haha, good, good!"

Seeing Chen Qian, Ye Cheng, too, brushed away his previous gloom and burst into hearty laughter.

A moment later, Ye Cheng slowly stood up and said to Ye Fei, "Xiao Fei, I’ll leave now so I’m not an old third wheel. You two enjoy your chat!"

With that, Ye Cheng walked out of the hall, and seeing this, Ren Yuan and Ma Ning exchanged a knowing smile and followed him out in tacit understanding.

However, Ji Yuyan took a complicated glance at Chen Qian but didn’t linger too long. She quickly headed to the backyard to check on Su Lingyun.

Watching the others leave, Ye Fei turned to Chen Qian and smiled, "Xiao Qian, how did you manage to find this place?"

"Brother Ye, how could you ask that! How long has it been since you’ve seen me? If I didn’t come, Brother Ye might’ve forgotten all about me!"

Chen Qian pouted her lips, puffing her cheeks in mock anger.

But her act lasted only three seconds before breaking into a dimpled smile. "I’m teasing you! But to be honest, Brother Ye, you really gave Xiao Qian a scare!"

"A scare? Why?" Ye Fei asked curiously.

"Because you’re the eldest young master of the Ye Family!"

Chen Qian glanced around the antique yet tasteful decor of the hall, stuck out her tongue, and exclaimed, "I thought Brother Ye was just an ordinary person, but the events at the Purple Mist Building startled me. Only then did I realize what a hidden gem you are!"

A hidden gem?

Ye Fei chuckled softly. What he had hidden was far more than she knew!

But facing the innocent Chen Qian, Ye Fei didn’t dwell on the weighty troubles in his mind. He simply smiled, ready for a lighthearted chat with her.

But just as Ye Fei was about to speak, his gaze suddenly shifted to something in Chen Qian’s jet-black hair—a delicate hair clip.

"Xiao Qian, this hair clip...?"

"Hair clip?"

Chen Qian blinked in surprise, then caught on, pointing to her hair clip with a grin. "How is it? Does it look nice? Sister Shi from the TV station gave it to me!"

"Sister Shi?" Ye Fei frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Brother Ye doesn’t know Sister Shi Lan? She’s the province TV station’s beauty queen!"

Seeing Ye Fei’s confusion, Chen Qian laughed and explained, "Sister Shi Lan is the most stunning anchorwoman at our provincial station. She’s always been incredibly kind to me. Whenever I don’t understand something, she takes the time to teach me. Everyone loves her! Brother Ye really hasn’t heard of her?"

"I don’t keep up with that kind of thing," Ye Fei replied with a faint smile. "May I take a look at this hair clip?"

"Of course!" Chen Qian said as she removed the clip and handed it to Ye Fei.

Taking the hair clip, a subtle gleam of black light flickered in Ye Fei’s eyes as he discreetly examined its internal structure.

The hair clip emitted a bizarre, faint glow with traces of ominous Yin energy—clearly not a benign object!

"A curse?"

The sight made Ye Fei’s heart chill.

Though the exact motive was unclear, it was evident that whoever gave this hair clip to Chen Qian likely had ill intentions!

Fortunately, Chen Qian hadn’t been in contact with the clip for too long yet, so she was unharmed for the time being.

If Ye Fei hadn’t discovered it today, prolonged exposure to the clip might have led Chen Qian to a series of misfortunes!

For this cursed artifact didn’t just sap vitality but also drained good fortune—truly a malignant object!

With that in mind, Ye Fei let out a cold snort, and a sudden jolt emanated from his hand.

A barely detectable sound rang out as the clip’s ominous glow and sinister Yin energy completely dissipated due to Ye Fei’s power.

Soon after, streams of nature’s spiritual energy poured into the clip.

In mere moments, the once malevolent hair clip transformed into an auspicious artifact under Ye Fei’s touch!

Of course, with Ye Fei’s expertise, Chen Qian remained blissfully unaware of the change.

Smiling, Ye Fei handed the clip back to Chen Qian. "By the way, Xiao Qian, what brings you to see Brother Ye today?"

"Of course, there’s a reason!"

Chen Qian laughed. "The station is planning a documentary on Fengmen Village in Yunzhou Province."

"Fengmen Village? Isn’t that the famous Ghost Village?" Ye Fei frowned instantly.

Fengmen Village in Yunzhou was practically a household name in China. Even someone like Ye Fei, who rarely paid attention to such things, had heard a bit about it.

It was said that the village had once been a quaint, peaceful rural place, but about a decade ago, residents began moving away, leaving it abandoned.

From then on, rumors of paranormal events in Fengmen Village gradually emerged!

Hearing Ye Fei’s words, Chen Qian immediately chuckled. "Brother Ye, do you really believe that? There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world!"

Oh, they exist; you’ve just never encountered them.

Ye Fei smiled faintly but chose not to elaborate.

Chen Qian continued, "The station plans to send a team there to film a documentary, but it’s said that bad people often lurk nearby. The station suggested finding capable people for protection, and Xiao Qian immediately thought of Brother Ye! In Xiao Qian’s heart, Brother Ye is the best!"

"Haha!"

Ye Fei chuckled at Chen Qian’s innocent words but quickly shifted the topic. "Let me guess—was this trip to Fengmen Village suggested by your Sister Shi?"

"Huh? Brother Ye, you’re amazing! You guessed it right away!" Chen Qian exclaimed in astonishment.

So it’s as I suspected?

Ye Fei’s expression tightened as his suspicions solidified.

Previously, he’d only speculated, but now he was almost certain.

Sister Shi Lan had deliberately given the cursed hair clip to Chen Qian. Despite her outward kindness, she harbored deep-seated malice toward the girl!

How else could it be such a coincidence? First giving a cursed item, then suggesting a trip to a notorious Ghost Village?

If Chen Qian hadn’t come to find Ye Fei and went straight there, the Yin energy and curses in the clip might have led her into harmful, perhaps even fatal, situations!

"Mother’s condition is stable for now with Ji Yuyan and Shao Yu caring for her. Keeping her from interacting with me and Father might actually be better for her." Ye Fei’s thoughts settled, and he made up his mind. "In that case, it’s best I accompany Xiao Qian on this trip to prevent any unforeseen dangers."

With that decision, Ye Fei smiled. "Alright then, I’ll join you on this trip."

"Really? That’s wonderful!" Chen Qian exclaimed joyfully.

In a luxurious apartment in the South Suburb of Yongping City, Su Province.

A stunning woman with an exquisite figure lounged on a sofa, dressed in a semi-sheer silk nightgown and sipping red wine.

If anyone were present, they would instantly recognize her as Shi Lan, the number-one anchorwoman of Su Province TV Station!
