Chapter 173: Chapter 172: [Giving Xiao Ya a Hope]"Auntie, you’re too kind. Yaer and I are good friends, so helping out with a little favor is only natural!" Ling Yuxun said sweetly with a smile. "Oh, please take a seat, don’t just stand there!" Xiao Ya’s mother, upon seeing Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun still standing, quickly asked them to sit down. "It’s okay, don’t worry about us; you just stay put, and we’ll help ourselves!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said. By this time, Xiao Ya had been woken up by the noise. She opened her eyes groggily and, seeing Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun, was curious—seemingly having forgotten that the first day was for registration and the second for meeting with the advisors. If there were boarding arrangements, an advisor would need to know. "Sister Yuxun, why are you guys here?" Xiao Ya asked, puzzled. "Hehe, today is the day to meet with the advisors, you forgot?" Ling Yuxun couldn’t help but ask with a laugh. "Ah? Oh no, I actually fell asleep and forgot to report to the school!" Xiao Ya immediately started to panic. She had always been an excellent student, obedient to her teachers and parents. Today was supposed to be the chance to make a good impression on her advisor, and now it was past noon, she hadn’t gone to the school yet. She would surely displease her advisor. "What should we do? Yaer, hurry to the school; your mom here can manage on her own!" Xiao Ya’s mother also said anxiously. "Don’t worry. After lunch, I’ll take you there; it’ll be sorted out quickly!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile. "That sounds good. Let’s go eat, I’m actually a little hungry. What are you treating us two beauties to?" Ling Yuxun asked with a laugh. "What? Wasn’t it agreed that you were treating? How come it’s me now?" Ye Tianchen said, somewhat speechlessly, looking at Ling Yuxun. "Such matters as treating should certainly be left to you gentlemen when you’re present—take the hint!" Ling Yuxun said cutely with a mischievous smile. It was then that Ye Tianchen realized that sometimes Ling Yuxun could be quite the trickster. She had clearly agreed to treat for lunch today, and yet now, when it was time to eat, she turned tables and said it was his turn to treat. That was going too far, and it seemed that in the future it would be wise to take her words with a grain of salt. "Mom, what would you like to eat? I’ll go out and buy it for you," Xiao Ya considerately asked her mother. "No need for that, you go eat. Your dad will bring some food over in a while. After you’ve eaten, go to the school to report. Make a good impression for your teacher, don’t worry, your dad will be here tonight!" Xiao Ya’s mother said with a smile. "Okay!" Xiao Ya nodded. Upon leaving Kyoto Hospital, Xiao Ya still felt worried; after all, her mother’s illness was severe. When the pain struck, her mother couldn’t even speak and could only rely on painkillers to alleviate the suffering. "Yaer, don’t worry, your mother will be fine. She’ll definitely get better!" Ling Yuxun said sincerely, holding Xiao Ya’s hand. "Okay!" Xiao Ya nodded again without saying anything. Ye Tianchen looked at Xiao Ya. In fact, he didn’t want to tell her about the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand so soon. After all, whether he could find this Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was another matter, and considering decades had passed, it was quite possible that the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was no longer alive. He didn’t want to give Xiao Ya hope only to disappoint her, as the blow would be too great for her. However, seeing Xiao Ya looking downcast, Ye Tianchen truly felt a pang of heartache. A girl who should have been living happily was now so troubled that she lost her appetite. It was an unacceptable situation to anyone with a heart. This also made Ye Tianchen feel the pressure; finding the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was urgent. Xiao Ya’s mother might only last a few more months, and if they couldn’t find the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand within that time, Xiao Ya’s mother would be beyond help, and Xiao Ya would continue to suffer, worrying about her mother’s illness. "Yaer, actually, don’t worry too much. I’ve heard of a great physician with superb medical skills who can even bring the dead back to life. If we can find him, I believe he can cure your mother’s illness," Ye Tianchen said thoughtfully. "Really? Tianchen, you’re not lying to me, are you? Bringing the dead back to life..." Xiao Ya looked incredulous. Indeed, in this age of science, how many people still believed in legends about ghosts and gods? A claim of resurrecting the dead would likely make anyone seem mad. But Ye Tianchen believed it. As a Divine-Level Superpower Expert reborn from the apocalypse, he had seen many astonishing things, including people who achieved immortality and others powerful enough to shatter the void with a single punch. All these things would completely overturn the modern way of thinking, as if returning to an age of ghosts and gods; in fact, it’s quite simple. For example, how many people today know that Superpower Users and experts from Ancient Martial Sects truly exist in the world? These individuals are so powerful that they are unimaginable, not bound by countries or laws, acting solely on their own whims. How terrifying is that? You can’t help but believe that these people do indeed exist, it’s just that ordinary people will never have the chance or the qualifications to meet them in their lifetime; they are simply not of the same world. "Really, I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, ask Yuxun!" Ye Tianchen nodded seriously and glanced at Ling Yuxun as he spoke. Ling Yuxun was caught off guard. Ye Tianchen had never mentioned this to her before, and it wasn’t just Xiao Ya who found it hard to believe—Ling Yuxun herself was somewhat skeptical. Is there really such a highly skilled doctor in the world who can bring the dead back to life? That would surely be no longer human but rather divine, right? However, Ling Yuxun was also a very clever girl. With barely a moment’s hesitation, looking as if nothing had phased her, she nodded her head and said to Xiao Ya, "Tianchen is right. There is indeed such a miraculous person in this world. If we can find him, your mother’s illness can be cured!" "Really?" Xiao Ya became excited at once, her eyes filled with a longing glow. Of course, she hoped that such a miraculous person existed, because then her mother’s illness would have hope. "It’s true. As long as we find this miraculous person, we can cure your mother’s illness," Ye Tianchen also said, looking at Xiao Ya. "Then, let’s go find this miraculous person quickly, and beg him to treat my mother!" "Yaer, we don’t know where this miraculous person currently is; we only have a slight clue. But rest assured, we will definitely find him. Don’t worry too much!" Ye Tianchen quickly spoke. "Yes, Yaer. You need to go to school every day and take care of your mother. Leave the search for this miraculous person to Tianchen and me. After all, we have our ways and can mobilize a lot of people, right!" Ling Yuxun also said with a smile, taking Xiao Ya’s hand. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ya looked at Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun seriously and said, "Thank you so much, you’ve been so kind to me!" "Silly girl, I’ve told you not to be so formal, we’re friends. Let’s go, off to eat!" Giving Xiao Ya a little hope had lifted her spirits, and she was no longer as downcast. Walking in front with Ling Yuxun, chatting and occasionally laughing, Ye Tianchen was happy to see her like this. However, he felt the pressure on himself increasing. Since he had given hope to Xiao Ya, he couldn’t let her be disappointed again; the shock might be too much for her to bear. Finding the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was urgent, and they had to act quickly. At lunchtime, Ye Tianchen was unusually generous, treating Xiao Ya and Ling Yuxun to hotpot, which made Ling Yuxun look at him as if he were an alien, frustrating Ye Tianchen, as if he had never treated someone to a meal in his past eight lifetimes. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. An hour later, Ye Tianchen, Xiao Ya, and Ling Yuxun left the hotpot restaurant. Just as the three of them were about to head to school together, Ling Yuxun’s phone rang. She picked it up and pressed the answer button. "Hello, Dad, what’s up?" "What? The Xuanyuan family has gone too far this time. They want to drive us out of the industry, I’ll be right there!" Ling Yuxun said, fuming. "What’s wrong, Yuxun?" Ye Tianchen knew something bad had happened and asked with concern. "It’s nothing. I can’t accompany you to school. Take Xiao Ya on your motorcycle. I need to go home!" Ling Yuxun said. "Alright, be careful on your way, and call me if anything happens!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said. "Got it!" Watching Ling Yuxun drive away in her sports car, Ye Tianchen still felt a bit worried. Despite their frequent bickering, how could he forget their childhood friendship? Yuxun was a very kind and beautiful girl, just different from Xiao Ya in temperament. If something happened to Ling Yuxun, Ye Tianchen would never stand idly by. "Let’s go, Yaer, to school!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to Xiao Ya. "Okay!" Xiao Ya glanced at Ye Tianchen and suddenly remembered her mother’s words: if you really think this boy is good, you can be with him. Ye Tianchen started the motorcycle, and Xiao Ya sat behind him. It was Xiao Ya’s first time on a motorcycle and she was somewhat uncomfortable, mainly because she didn’t know where to put her hands without something to grasp, which made her feel insecure. "Hold onto me. That’s safer, and I drive pretty fast, you know!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to Xiao Ya. Xiao Ya hesitated for a moment, her cheeks turning slightly red. She bit her lower lip, then slowly wrapped her arms around Ye Tianchen’s waist...(To be continued.
