Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Xia Yunchen has been missing for a long time, I wonder where Third Master has hidden him

Madam Chen straightened up from Old Mister Chen’s embrace and turned to her partner of over thirty years, displeased, she said, "Jingyi, have you become muddled too, I’m not sick, why should I see those charlatan tricksters, I’m not going, and you father and daughter shouldn’t try to persuade me either."

Ni Peipei’s attitude was very firm, and her tone also carried a hint of impatience.

Old Mister Chen Jingyi shook his head and smiled wryly, showing a helpless expression to his daughter sitting by the bed.

Qin Ruan stood at the door, looking at the family of three inside, each with different opinions, but the atmosphere was extremely warm. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The three Chens all looked up toward the outside of the door.

Ni Peipei saw the girl standing outside, emanating an aura of cold elegance, her pretty face sweet yet subtly enchanting. She looked at her with a smile, deepening the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"What a beautiful girl. Whose daughter is she?"

Ni Peipei’s face was covered with fine wrinkles, her hair a mix of black and white, and her eyes, though not very bright, were just as warm as those of Old Mister Chen, both of them with a kindly demeanor.

The old lady’s turbid eyes carried wisdom born of numerous vicissitudes, and her demeanor, shaped by countless ups and downs, was very comforting.

With a gentle and friendly tone, Qin Ruan couldn’t help but reveal a soft, gentle smile on her face, "Mrs. Chen, hello, I’m a traveler passing by, I heard some noise upstairs and came up, excuse my intrusion, I’m very sorry."

Ni Peipei leaned against the bed head, sizing up Qin Ruan with a gaze growing fonder by the moment.

"You’re a delightful young girl, a guest indeed, it’s my Chen family’s lapse in hospitality."

Madam Chen exuded the demeanor of a lady from a Scholarly Family, and if you listened closely to her voice, there was the softness of a southern person.

Her Wu dialect was also very soothing to listen to.

She was friendly toward Qin Ruan, but Old Mister Chen Jingyi’s expression was slightly displeased, "My wife is not well, so I won’t invite you in."

Ni Peipei patted his hand, discontentedly saying, "Jingyi, don’t frighten the child."

Seeing his parents in disagreement, Chen Sixing stood up and walked toward Qin Ruan, "Sorry, my mom is not well and the room is filled with sick air. I won’t invite Miss Qin inside, let me take you downstairs."

"Sorry for the intrusion."

Qin Ruan nodded to Chen Sixing, speaking apologetically.

Her gaze glanced inside at Old Mister Chen and Madam Chen, noticing the old couple whispering something to each other.

Chen Jingyi’s lips curled into a faint smile, Ni Peipei looked tenderly at her partner, her eyes brimming with affection.

Though an old couple, they were entirely unpretentious, and not at all discomforting to others.

Qin Ruan withdrew her gaze and left one after another with Chen Sixing.

Once seated again in the living room, Lin Hao had already sent Song Half-Immortal away and was standing with Huo Zhi in the living room of the Chen family.

Chen Sixing seated on the sofa, his face growing anxious, Qin Ruan picked up the cup of water from the table and took a sip.

Watching the increasingly troubled expression of the person across from her, she spoke softly, "Miss Chen, I’m actually a Heavenly Master. Today, the Master Song you invited is an acquaintance of mine, and I know a bit about your family’s situation."

"Ah?"

Chen Sixing, who had been pondering how to deal with his mother’s nightmare affliction, widened his eyes slightly with a look of surprise and clear skepticism on his face.

Qin Ruan set down her water cup, her legs crossed in a languid sitting posture, her whole aura transforming in an instant.

The worldly naivete that swirled around her had sharpened, and those clear eyes now swirled with a dim, indiscernible light, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression.

Qin Ruan slowly spoke, "Earlier, you mentioned the Jade Star Sect and that I know people there. I also have deep connections with the masters from Nanyin Temple, Maoshan Sect, and Longevity Sect."

Chen Sixing, still not fully trusting Qin Ruan, tentatively asked, "Then what do you see wrong with my mother’s health? Is she entangled with something foul, or did she collide with something?"

Observing the mix of hope and suspicion in her eyes, Qin Ruan calmly nodded, "I indeed see a bit of a problem."

Chen Sixing’s eyes slightly brightened, "Can it be resolved?"

Qin Ruan did not answer but instead asked, "Judging by your accent, you don’t seem to be from Capital City. Did you come from the south?"

Not understanding why this mattered, Chen Sixing felt there was no need to hide this, and truthfully reported, "We moved here a few years ago from our hometown in Qing City in the south."

"No wonder." Qin Ruan’s face revealed understanding, gazing thoughtfully at Chen Sixing: "What made you decide to settle in Capital City?"

Huo Zhi had told her that the Chen Family was now regarded as part of Capital City, but she hadn’t found out why they’d decided to settle there.

Chen Sixing frowned at Qin Ruan, her tone indifferent, "I run a tech company, and in recent years my work has been centered on expanding in Capital City. Since my parents were in Qing City and I couldn’t look after them, I brought them here a few years ago."

She thought that Qin Ruan might not be as capable a Mystic Master as she claimed, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked these irrelevant questions.

Feeling that talking with her was a waste of time, her good manners forced her to continue the encounter.

Seeing Chen Sixing’s impatience, Qin Ruan chuckled and said, "Ms. Chen, if you want to resolve your mother’s health issue, I need to see her alone. The issue might be more complex than you think."

Unexpectedly, the conversation was back on track, and Chen Sixing blinked, "Neither my father nor I can be there?"

Qin Ruan smiled slightly, "No, it would be best if your father does not know who I am."

Chen Sixing frowned, her face full of confusion.

But seeing Qin Ruan’s serious expression, she somewhat impulsively nodded, "My mom goes to the greenhouse every afternoon. I’ll take you there in a while."

The two sat downstairs without further conversation, each busy with their mobile phones.

After half an hour, there was movement upstairs.

Chen Jingyi was helping Ni Peipei slowly descend the stairs; after a few polite greetings to Qin Ruan, the couple headed towards the nearby open-air greenhouse.

As they passed the display case to the left, they saw a shattered porcelain vase on the ground.

Ni Peipei sighed lightly, "The vase broke and no one cleaned it up—Sixing, have Aunt Zhang clean it up later."

"Got it, Mom," Chen Sixing quickly responded, worried her mother might be upset.

Chen Jingyi helped his wife towards the greenhouse, showing no emotion towards the broken vase.

Qin Ruan, head bowed and checking her phone, noticed that there seemed to be more entertainment news lately; the faces of all these stars were new and unremarkable.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Xia Yunchen.

Since he had left the scene, it had been a long time since she had heard any news of him.

She wondered where the Third Master had hidden him since even she couldn’t find him.

The moment the greenhouse door opened, Qin Ruan, who had been staring at her phone, abruptly looked up, her eyes intensely darting towards the location of the greenhouse.

Chen Sixing felt the fierce energy emanating from her, her heartbeat quickening somewhat, as she anxiously asked, "What’s wrong?"
