Chapter 206: Chapter 205: 【The Strange Little Girl】Hei Mian’s sudden arrival turned out to be for the purpose of having Ye Tianchen join him in protecting a person named Murong Yudou. Ye Tianchen knew very little about such high-profile individuals. However, Hei Mian told him that Murong Yudou was incredibly significant, with several generations contributing greatly to the country’s stability and unity. This time, Murong Yudou’s granddaughter, Murong Xin, had been poisoned, and she was the only remaining descendant of the Murong family. To save Murong Xin from the poison, Murong Yudou was naturally prepared to spare no expense, and the high-ranking officials also took the matter very seriously. To make a statement, they assigned Hei Mian and Ye Tianchen, two individuals, to protect Murong Yudou. For someone on Murong Yudou’s level, there was no shortage of experts to provide protection. Of course, as a person of his stature, he would have numerous enemies and life-or-death vendettas. Therefore, any location Murong Yudou visited was quite dangerous. It seemed that this time, a top-tier expert had attempted to assassinate Murong Yudou, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent Hei Mian, a bodyguard of Heavenly Gang Level, for protection. Given Ye Tianchen’s personality, even if Hei Mian had brought orders from the highest authorities, he might not have complied, as he was someone who disliked restrictions. In the end, the reason he decided to accompany Hei Mian was twofold. Firstly, if someone capable of attacking Murong Yudou could warrant the protection of Hei Mian, a bodyguard of Heavenly Gang Level, it indicated that the enemy had a supremely powerful expert. Ye Tianchen was also eager to see for himself. Having reached the King-level Superpower Realm, breaking through to the next level required more than just accumulating his own energy, it required an understanding of nature’s forces, dependent on the realization of the Taoist concept of "enlightenment." Secondly, through Hei Mian, Ye Tianchen learned that Murong Yudou had found a Divine Doctor to cure his granddaughter Murong Xin of poison. Could such a physician also cure Xiao Ya’s mother’s illness? It was worth a try, regardless. Divine Doctor Ghost Hand did indeed possess exceptional healing abilities, according to the information Cang Lang had given Ye Tianchen. This individual had once prolonged the life of a founding leader by twenty years and then disappeared. Searching for the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand was challenging, and it was still unknown whether he was alive. Therefore, Ye Tianchen wanted to check out the physician found by Murong Yudou to see if there was anything special about him. If he truly had exceptional medical skills that could cure Xiao Ya’s mother, then it wouldn’t be necessary to search for the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand anymore. "Hey, I haven’t even had dinner and here I am, following you on a mission with an empty stomach. Shouldn’t you at least treat me to a meal?" After informing his mother and younger sister at home, Ye Tianchen got into an army off-road vehicle with Hei Mian. Such was an advantage of the military district: driving an army vehicle allowed them to bypass security checks in many places, saving a lot of time. As for Ye Tianchen, he was still preoccupied with not having had dinner. "We don’t have time for food now, Elder Murong has already headed to the outskirts of town, and we must hurry to catch up. Besides, didn’t you want Senior Murong to treat you? You can ask him once we get there," Hei Mian said as he drove the vehicle out of the villa area. "Ah, I really can’t afford to hang out with you guys. It’s such a low standard, not even able to have a meal, despite being a bodyguard of Heavenly Gang Level. I might as well starve to death in the sky!" Ye Tianchen sighed. "Can you just chill out and not distract me while I’m driving..." Hei Mian’s words were cut off by Ye Tianchen. Because Ye Tianchen spotted some goodies: a hamburger, a can of cola, and a sausage on the back seat, which he unabashedly grabbed, wolfing them down voraciously. "Hiding such good stuff, but fortunately, my brilliant wit discovered it!" Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous smile as he ate voraciously. "You... that was my dinner... leave me some..." Hei Mian screamed, but Ye Tianchen showed no courtesy. He polished off the hamburger, cola, and sausage without leaving a crumb for Hei Mian. After finishing, he shamelessly belched and said, "Consider it a snack. When we arrive, it’s Murong Yudou’s turn to feed me!" Ye Tianchen and Hei Mian set out at eight in the evening. In the vehicle, Ye Tianchen smoked two cigarettes and unwittingly fell asleep. When he woke up, everything around him was pitch black, just a faint light ahead. He glanced at his phone and was surprised to find that it was already eleven o’clock. They had been driving for over three hours and still hadn’t reached their destination—surely that was too far off? "We’re almost there, get ready to get out," Hei Mian said indifferently. "Why get out? Let’s drive in. I’m not very keen on walking," Ye Tianchen said with a sly smile. With a screech, Hei Mian brought the army off-road vehicle to a halt, ignoring Ye Tianchen’s unreliable suggestion and stepped out of the vehicle. Ye Tianchen yawned and followed behind Hei Mian. After walking about a thousand meters, they entered the remote town. Calling it a town was somewhat generous—it was more like a single street, approximately one to two kilometers long, with some residential houses and shops on both sides. The houses were very ordinary; there were no tall buildings, and surrounding the street were more residential buildings, mostly tiled houses. Most of them had turned off their lights for the night, with only a few households still illuminated. Ye Tianchen followed behind Hei Mian, continuing down the street. From the entrance, they made their way to the end of the street and then turned left onto a dirt road. Only when Hei Mian came to a stop did Ye Tianchen realize they’d arrived at the front gate of an ancient residence. It was the kind of old estate typical of the old Capital City, the entire estate surrounded by brick walls and with thick wooden doors. Even without entering, Ye Tianchen could see a huge, ancient tree in the middle of the courtyard, its age unknown, but it was magnificent. Ye Tianchen was somewhat surprised to find that the entire small courtyard was surrounded by soldiers bearing guns, standing like flagpoles at intervals of one meter, each holding a submachine gun. Four burly soldiers stood at the main gate of the courtyard, next to a black sedan, along with several military green-colored big trucks. Ye Tianchen’s Superpower Perception was fully extended and he discovered many more soldiers were hidden in the surroundings, encircling the whole town with an impressive show of strength. "Who are you two? You can’t go in either!" As soon as Hei Mian and Ye Tianchen appeared, an armed soldier came over and stopped them. At that moment, Ye Tianchen snapped back to reality and glanced at the side, where a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl stood. Despite her plain dress, it couldn’t hide her sweet appearance. She looked teary-eyed as if she desperately wanted to enter the courtyard. Hei Mian stepped forward and took something resembling a medal from his chest. When the soldier who had stopped them saw it, he respectfully stepped aside, even giving Ye Tianchen and Hei Mian a military salute and gestured for them to enter. "Big Brother, can I follow you in?" Hei Mian had already stepped through the gate, and just as Ye Tianchen reached the entrance, the young girl looked at Ye Tianchen timidly and asked quietly. "You want to come in with us? It’s dangerous inside, aren’t you afraid?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile. "I’m not afraid, my home is here. Can you talk to them and let me go in with you?" The girl pleaded with Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let’s go!" "Thank you, Big Brother, thank you!" The girl said with a hint of a smile on her face. However, just as Ye Tianchen was about to bring the unfamiliar girl inside with him, the soldier who had initially stopped them stepped in front of Ye Tianchen again, and said with a cold voice, "Sorry, only the two of you can go in, this little girl’s background is unknown, she cannot be allowed entry!" "It’s fine, I’ll watch over her!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile. "No, if anything goes wrong, none of us, including you, can bear the responsibility." "Big Brother..." "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it!" Ye Tianchen smiled and nodded at the young girl. The reason why they didn’t let the girl in was clear to Ye Tianchen. Murong Yudou had arrived, a highly important figure whose safety was critical; naturally, they couldn’t allow unidentified people to get close. However, Ye Tianchen had an intuition that this girl would pose no harm. He trusted his instincts, believing there were no waves of murderous intent coming from her, just like Xiao Ya, pure and innocent. "Hei Mian, I won’t come in with you. I’ll stay outside and chat with this young sister!" Ye Tianchen shrugged and said to Hei Mian. "You... let them both in!" Hei Mian shot Ye Tianchen a stern look, exasperated with the man. He could only order the armed soldiers standing nearby. "Let’s go," Ye Tianchen said to the girl with a smile. "Thank you, Big Brother!" The girl expressed her gratitude to Ye Tianchen.

Hei Mian truly didn’t understand whether Ye Tianchen had brains or not, was a rogue or the Death God? Under these circumstances, he actually dared to bring a stranger inside; wasn’t he afraid that the person could be an assassin? In such a situation, Hei Mian was helpless against Ye Tianchen. This time, having received intelligence about Murong Yudou’s appearance, they anticipated that there would be masters ready to strike at any moment. Hei Mian, by himself, might truly be incapable of stopping them and would need to join forces with Ye Tianchen. (To be continued.
