Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing had no idea that Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue was still plotting against him.

He was completely unfamiliar with those sorcerers, so he could only leave dealing with them to Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun. In fact, with their formidable abilities, handling this matter was a piece of cake, allowing Ye Qing to be at ease.

Inside the room, Zou Huanglong and the Little Xie Couple were anxiously waiting for Ye Qing. As soon as he came in, the three rushed to greet him, and Xiao Xie trembled as he asked, ”Mr. Ye, how... how did it go? What did your two friends say?”

”No worries!” Ye Qing replied, ”You can rest assured, this matter will be basically resolved by tonight.”

”Really?” The three were overjoyed beyond measure, especially the Little Xie Couple. Upon hearing this from Ye Qing, they burst into tears again. Their son’s situation had pushed them to the brink of collapse; they had been living like ghosts, utterly drained. Now, finally receiving a definite answer, their feelings were understandable.

”Mr. Ye, is there anything you need us to do?” Zou Huanglong was also filled with excitement. He was close to the Little Xie family. Resolving this matter would make him a savior for Xiao Xie’s child, so he was naturally very happy.

”Yes, Mr. Ye, is there any equipment you need?” Xiao Xie quickly asked Ye Qing, ”Whatever you need, just tell me, I’ll get it for you right away!”

”Not really.” Ye Qing chuckled and said, ”This matter must be addressed at night. The key thing is, when we deal with it, it would be best if you three don’t make an appearance.”

”Huh?” Xiao Xie was taken aback, unsure of what Ye Qing meant.

Zou Huanglong, however, seemed to understand and quickly said, ”Mr. Ye, don’t worry. Tonight, the three of us will hide away, and once you’ve cured the child’s illness and call us, we’ll come out, okay?”

”That’s best!” Ye Qing nodded. He didn’t want the three to come out mainly to prevent them from seeing the sorcerer. If the sorcerer fought like a beast and caused harm, it would be troublesome. Besides, even if the sorcerer didn’t harm anyone, when Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun took action against him, it would likely be shocking; Ye Qing didn’t want the matter to be spread too sensationally.

”Why... why do we have to hide?” Xiao Xie whispered to Zou Huanglong, his concern for his son making him wish he could stay by his side every minute.

”I told you, Mr. Ye and his two friends are masters with special abilities. When a master uses their powers, they can’t be disturbed.” Zou Huanglong whispered, ”Come on, you don’t need to worry about this. I tell you, with Mr. Ye here, your son’s illness will definitely be cured, definitely no problem!”

Seeing Zou Huanglong speak with such certainty, Xiao Xie was filled with hope, nodding repeatedly, ”Okay, okay, we have a basement downstairs. Mr. Ye, why don’t the three of us hide in the basement tonight? What do you think? If that’s not sufficient, we can go somewhere else to hide.”}

”The basement will be fine.” Ye Qing nodded, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, ”Oh, Old Zou, there’s another matter I need your help with.”

”Whatever you need, don’t hesitate to say!” Zou Huanglong quickly smiled, ”Ah, don’t mention help, just tell me what you need, and I’ll definitely do it for you!”

”Yes, Mr. Ye, whatever you need, just say it!” Xiao Xie also watched Ye Qing, thinking he might need something.

”It’s not a big deal.” Ye Qing chuckled and said, ”The tickets you helped me buy last night are for this afternoon. But looking at the situation, I won’t be able to leave this afternoon. Could you help me change the tickets?”

Zou Huanglong thought Ye Qing was going to talk about something important, but it turned out to be about the plane tickets. He slapped his thigh and laughed, ”Ah, Mr. Ye, don’t worry about the tickets. If we miss them, we can just buy new ones tomorrow.”

”Yes, yes!” Xiao Xie hurriedly said, ”Mr. Ye, leave the ticket matters to us. Where are you going? I’ll get you first-class tickets right away!”

It seemed Xiao Xie wasn’t lacking money and was doing everything he could for his child’s sake.

Ye Qing shook his head and said, ”No need for first class. Just rebook the tickets; they were bought with money, so let’s not waste them.”

Saying this, Ye Qing handed the three tickets to Zou Huanglong and said, ”Old Zou, sorry for the trouble.”

Seeing Ye Qing’s insistence, Zou Huanglong didn’t argue further and took the three tickets, saying, ”Mr. Ye, I’ll arrange for someone to help you change the tickets. By the way, it’s almost noon; why don’t we eat here? Xiao Xie, do you have any food here?”

”Yes, yes,” Xiao Xie quickly called the housekeeper to prepare a meal.

Zou Huanglong went out to hand the tickets to someone and asked them to change them, then came back inside to sit with Ye Qing. The matter of healing the child would have to wait until evening, and the group had nothing to do at the moment. Xiao Xie continuously asked about the child’s illness, but Ye Qing couldn’t say much; after all, the sorcery matter was hard for an average person to accept.

By noon, the housekeeper had prepared a full table of dishes outside. Xiao Xie wanted to go out and call Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun in to eat together, but was stopped by Zou Huanglong.

”The special abilities cultivated by these three masters have some mutual restraint, they cannot get too close, otherwise, there will be a clash!” Zou Huanglong explained to Xiao Xie, speaking with a mysterious air, which left Xiao Xie utterly astonished, and even more in awe of Ye Qing and the other two.

Ye Qing listened from the side, wanting to laugh secretly, thinking that Zou Huanglong actually believed his offhand comment. But this was fine, he didn’t have to explain too much, in any case, he absolutely didn’t want to get close to those two individuals.

”Should I ask the maid to prepare another table for the two masters outside?” Xiao Xie asked cautiously.

”No need for the trouble.” Ye Qing looked at the table full of dishes and said, ”Just divide half of these for them. We can’t eat that much anyway.”

”Is that alright?” Xiao Xie hesitated a little, in his eyes, Ye Qing and the others were like immortals, he didn’t dare to show any neglect.

”It’s fine.” Ye Qing casually picked up a dish from the table and placed it on the tray beside him, saying, ”Just take a few portions out like this, we can’t eat that much either.”

At this moment, Ding Lianshun suddenly walked in from the entrance, startling Ye Qing, who was holding the plate, and hurriedly tucked his hand into his clothes, pretending to hold onto a fuse, trying to scare Ding Lianshun.

”Hey, why... why did you come in?” Zou Huanglong was even more astonished and looked at Ye Qing with a look of shock. He completely believed Ye Qing’s words, truly thinking that if these two met, their cultivation powers would clash.

Seeing that Ding Lianshun, after entering the door, didn’t rush towards him, Ye Qing felt slightly relieved, and said, ”Mr. Ding, you violated our agreement!”

Ding Lianshun said coldly, ”Hmph, don’t mention any agreement to me. I’m here to save you, not to harm you!”

”Save me?” Ye Qing looked around with a puzzled expression, ”How are you going to save me?”

Ding Lianshun said coldly, ”Ye, I warn you, if you want to die, go ahead and eat this meal!”

”What’s wrong with this meal?” Ye Qing was even more puzzled.

Ding Lianshun: ”A sorcerer has been here. Won’t you be careful?”

Hearing these words, Ye Qing startled sharply in his heart, he had completely forgotten about this matter. Indeed, sorcery is said to be a technique combining poison technique and gu technique, many forms of sorcery employ mesmerizing medicine or poison to be effective. A place where a sorcerer has been is like a place a Gu Master has walked through, no one can guarantee whether he would leave any poison behind. If one accidentally gets poisoned, that would be troublesome!

”What... what master?” The three of Zou Huanglong obviously didn’t understand Ding Lianshun’s words, and Zou Huanglong asked puzzledly, ”There’s nothing wrong with the food in this room, why can’t it be eaten?”

Ding Lianshun completely ignored him, and casually threw a bag to Ye Qing, ”Eat this!”

Ye Qing opened the bag, inside was a pack of instant food, presumably bought by Ding Lianshun just now. Ye Qing slightly furrowed his brow, shook the bag in his hand and said, ”Mr. Ding, the things in this room can’t be eaten, and yet the things you brought can be?”

”Eat it or not, it’s up to you, but you’re the one who will be hungry, not me!” Ding Lianshun said impatiently, ”One or two meals won’t starve you, do as you wish!”

After saying this, Ding Lianshun turned around and left immediately, not willing to speak more to Ye Qing.

Inside the room, Zou Huanglong and the other two looked in astonishment as Ding Lianshun walked away, then turned to look at Ye Qing, every face full of confusion. From the way Ding Lianshun came in just now, it seemed that his relationship with Ye Qing was not that harmonious, what was going on?

After a long silence, Zou Huanglong murmured, ”Mr. Ye, there shouldn’t be anything wrong, right? Xiao Xie and his wife have been eating at home these days, and nothing’s happened.”

Ye Qing looked at Xiao Xie and his wife in front of him, suddenly stood up, took out a round wooden bead from his body, and said to Xiao Xie, ”Stretch out your hand.”

Xiao Xie didn’t know what Ye Qing intended to do, but quickly stretched out his hand. Ye Qing placed the wooden bead in Xiao Xie’s hand and said, ”Hold this and don’t let go.”

”What... what is this?” Xiao Xie asked curiously.

Ye Qing smiled and didn’t answer Xiao Xie’s question. This wooden bead was a Mu Ling he brought from the Miao Borderlands, and it was the Treasure of Zhendong of Zhenmu Dong among the Miaojiang Seventy-Two Dong, it could cure all poisons in the world, very miraculous.

Just after listening to Ding Lianshun’s words, Ye Qing now began to suspect whether the sorcerer had placed poison in this room. So, he took out this Mu Ling to see if Xiao Xie and his wife were poisoned. If they were, this Mu Ling could detoxify and save lives.
