“Rain’er, Rain’er, what is wrong with you…”
“Rain’er. Are you alright? Do not scare Mummy like this…”
Li Zhengxiang and Yuan Muyun’s expressions changed dramatically. They hurried forward to comfort Li Xinyu, but no matter how they tried, Li Xinyu’s frantic and crazed state did not stop.
Li Zhengxiang and Yuan Muyun felt completely helpless. Every time Li Xinyu had an episode, they could do nothing except stand by and console her. Seeing her in such pain broke their hearts.
While Li Zhengxiang and Yuan Muyun were comforting Li Xinyu, Li Feng kept his eyes fixed on her. A look of shock flashed in his eyes, because when Li Xinyu had her episode, he clearly sensed a strand of divine sense emanating from her body.
Yes, divine sense.
It was an extremely weak divine sense. When he first felt its presence, Li Feng even thought he had sensed it wrong.
In this era of declining spiritual energy, only Innate realm experts could open their sea of consciousness and awaken divine sense. Below the Innate realm, possessing divine sense was extraordinarily rare. Even though Lin Ge had once reached the third level of Innate, his divine sense was worlds apart from Li Feng’s.
Li Xinyu was just an ordinary person who had never cultivated. She was not like him, someone who had crossed through time and space to arrive in this world. So how could she possibly have divine sense?
To confirm whether he had imagined it, Li Feng extended his own divine sense to probe. He immediately sensed that strand of divine sense.
Li Xinyu really did have divine sense. What was going on?
Li Feng frowned. He began to suspect that Li Xinyu’s illness might be connected to this divine sense. After all, ordinary people did not possess divine sense. Even those with mental illnesses could not have it. The appearance of divine sense on Li Xinyu was far too strange.
More importantly, Li Feng felt that this divine sense was extremely chaotic and violent.
With this thought, Li Feng stood up and said to Li Zhengxiang and Yuan Muyun, “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, let me try.”
“You?” Li Zhengxiang shook his head and said to Li Feng, “Li Feng, Rain’er is having an episode today. I cannot entertain you. You should go back first.”
Yuan Muyun said nothing. She felt great resentment toward Li Feng, believing that if he had not been here today, Li Xinyu would not have had an episode.
“Fourth Uncle, I want to take a look at Rain’er’s illness.” Li Feng said.
“You…” Li Zhengxiang shook his head and said, “Li Feng, you are not a doctor. What use would it be for you to look…”
Li Feng felt Li Xinyu’s divine sense growing more and more chaotic. Feeling anxious, he quickly walked over.
There was no time to explain to Li Zhengxiang now. Besides, explaining divine sense to him would be like playing the lute to a cow. It was better to directly examine Li Xinyu’s condition.
“Li Feng, get out. If it were not for you, Rain’er would not have had an episode.” Yuan Muyun angrily blocked Li Feng.
“Fourth Aunt, forgive me.” Li Feng understood why Yuan Muyun was angry, but he did not take it to heart. He simply reached out and gently pulled her aside.
“Li Feng, you…” Yuan Muyun flew into a rage and was about to scold him loudly when she saw something that stunned her.
Li Feng had walked up to Li Xinyu, placed his hands on her shoulders, and stared directly into her eyes. The screaming Li Xinyu suddenly became quiet.
“This, this…” Yuan Muyun could not help showing a shocked expression at this completely illogical scene.
Not only Yuan Muyun, but Li Zhengxiang was the same. At that moment, he stared at Li Feng in astonishment. Normally, he and Yuan Muyun had to spend a great deal of effort to calm Li Xinyu down. Yet now, Li Feng had only looked at her once and she had become quiet. This was hard for him to believe.
“Li Zhengxiang, what is going on?” Yuan Muyun turned to Li Zhengxiang and asked.
“I do not know.” Li Zhengxiang shook his head. Even with all his experience, he had no idea what was happening.
Yuan Muyun stepped forward, wanting to pull Li Xinyu away.
“What are you doing?” Li Zhengxiang quickly held her back.
“I want to check on Li Xinyu.” Yuan Muyun replied.
“Do not make any sudden moves right now.” Li Zhengxiang said in a deep voice. At that moment, he noticed that Li Feng and Li Xinyu were both completely still. This strange behaviour made him alert.
“What is wrong?” Yuan Muyun asked, puzzled.
“Perhaps Li Feng is examining Rain’er’s illness right now. We cannot disturb him.” Only then did Li Zhengxiang realise that although Li Feng was not a doctor, he was a half-step Innate ancient martial artist. Perhaps he really had a way to treat Li Xinyu’s illness.
“Examining the illness? How is that possible?” Yuan Muyun looked completely incredulous.
“Look at them. They have not moved at all, not even their eyeballs. Do you not find that strange?” Li Zhengxiang said in a deep voice.
Yuan Muyun was stunned. Only after Li Zhengxiang pointed it out did she realise it. Yes, Li Feng and Li Xinyu had remained motionless this entire time. What was going on? If Li Feng wanted to examine Li Xinyu’s illness, he did not need to do it like this.
“Li Zhengxiang, do you know what is happening?” Yuan Muyun asked him.
“I do not know, but I think the only thing we can do now is wait and see.” Li Zhengxiang shook his head and said.
Li Zhengxiang knew that some highly powerful ancient martial artists possessed abilities unknown to ordinary people. Li Feng was now half-step Innate. Could he have such unknown abilities?
This was not impossible. Li Feng’s strength had always been mysterious, and outsiders could not see through him. If he truly could treat Li Xinyu’s illness, that would be wonderful.
But these were only Li Zhengxiang’s guesses. Yuan Muyun was just an ordinary person and knew nothing about these things. Explaining it to her would be useless.
“Wait and see? Li Zhengxiang, will this be alright?” Yuan Muyun asked worriedly.
“It will be fine. Li Feng is Rain’er’s elder brother. He has no reason to harm her.” Li Zhengxiang shook his head. Li Xinyu was not Li Feng’s rival, so he would not treat her the way he treated Li Wu. Therefore, Li Zhengxiang was not worried that Li Feng would harm Li Xinyu.
“But…” Yuan Muyun hesitated, wanting to say more but stopping.
“Muyun, I know what you are worried about, but right now Rain’er’s condition is good. If we disturb Li Feng and Rain’er, what if she has another episode?” Li Zhengxiang said.
“This…” Only then did Yuan Muyun realise it. Yes, at least Li Xinyu was no longer acting crazy. If she disturbed them and caused another episode, that would be trouble.
“Alright, I will not disturb them now.” Yuan Muyun said as she stepped forward to pick up a chair that had fallen over. But as soon as she took one step, it was as if she had collided with something. She was sent flying backwards.
“Muyun, be careful.” Li Zhengxiang moved like a flash and quickly caught her.
“Li Zhengxiang, what happened?” Yuan Muyun asked in shock, standing unsteadily with Li Zhengxiang’s support.
Li Zhengxiang did not answer her. Instead, he stared at Li Feng in astonishment. “Protective astral energy. Li Feng actually has protective astral energy. Is this because he is half-step Innate?”
“What is protective astral energy?” Yuan Muyun asked after hearing Li Zhengxiang’s words. “Is Li Feng one of your family’s ancient martial artists? What just happened?”
When she followed Li Zhengxiang back then, she already knew he was not an ordinary person. After marrying him, she learned what ancient martial artists were. But she had no interest in them at all. Especially after Li Xinyu was born, all her attention had been focused on her daughter.
So now, combining the situation with Li Zhengxiang’s words, Yuan Muyun felt full of shock and confusion.
“Muyun, perhaps Li Feng really does have a way to treat Rain’er’s illness.” Li Zhengxiang said in a deep voice. At first, he had not been certain that Li Feng was treating her illness, but now he was one hundred percent sure.
Protective astral energy. Clearly, Li Feng was shielding himself from disturbance. If Yuan Muyun had not been an ordinary person earlier, Li Feng’s protective astral energy might have injured her, or even killed her.
Thinking of this, Li Zhengxiang’s expression became grave.
Protective astral energy did not activate automatically. The fact that Li Feng had it now clearly meant he did not want to be disturbed at this moment.
Li Zhengxiang pulled Yuan Muyun out of the dining room, then called Li Yi over. He said in a deep voice, “Immediately secure this area. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy.”
“Yes.” Li Yi’s expression turned serious. Although he did not understand the reason for the order, he quickly went to make arrangements.
“Li Zhengxiang, this…” Yuan Muyun’s expression changed after hearing Li Zhengxiang’s words. Although she did not know his full guess, she could sense that something unusual was happening.
But was this all because of Li Feng?
An ancient martial artist with protective astral energy. Was this still the Li Feng she remembered?
Yuan Muyun suddenly felt that Li Feng had become so unfamiliar.
But she quickly turned her gaze back to Li Xinyu. Although Li Zhengxiang said Li Feng was treating her illness, she still felt uneasy in her heart. After all, so many experts and professors had been unable to cure Li Xinyu’s illness. Could Li Feng really do it?
Li Feng was an ancient martial artist, yes, but so was Li Zhengxiang. If ancient martial artists could cure Li Xinyu’s illness, Li Zhengxiang would have done it long ago.
Yet even though Yuan Muyun had doubts, deep in her heart she still hoped Li Feng had a way. After all, this illness had tormented Li Xinyu for nearly twenty years.
Not only Yuan Muyun, but Li Zhengxiang also stared intently at Li Feng and Li Xinyu. He did not know what Li Feng was doing right now, but the fact that Li Feng could calm Li Xinyu down gave him hope.
The two people Li Zhengxiang cared about most were Yuan Muyun, for whom he had even rejected a marriage alliance with a first-class family back then, and Li Xinyu. He had no other extravagant hopes, only that Li Xinyu could live a happy and peaceful life.
At this moment, neither Li Zhengxiang nor Yuan Muyun knew that Li Feng’s heart was filled with shock…
