Even though Su Muxian suggested that the matter might be related to Ouyang Xunuo, Ye Tiancheng couldn't believe it. After all, the person's body was right before his eyes, burned and then buried. Even with heavenly abilities, it was impossible to resurrect.
For a person to come back from the dead, divine artifacts were needed. Although the Fuxi Qin was lost, Ye Tiancheng couldn't imagine how the lost divine artifact could be related to the thoroughly dead Ouyang Xunuo.
"I think there must be something else at play. It can't be that simple. There's no such simple matter. All of this must be orchestrated by a mastermind behind the scenes, causing you to misunderstand."
Su Muxian's expression was clearly not good. If she hadn't gone through some tribulations, such a sense of vicissitude couldn't be faked. She must have truly encountered some unfathomable difficulty.
"I also know that someone must be behind this, but I've invited many famous ghost hunters, and I've spent a lot of money. In the end, they couldn't investigate anything. I seriously suspect they were just scammers trying to cheat me out of my money. These charlatans are probably after my money and can't actually do anything. That's why I came to you. I know you have real skills."
It seemed Su Muxian had indeed gone through many hardships and was deceived, even spending money unnecessarily. That's why she came to Ye Tiancheng with a resentful look to solve the problem.
"My daughter has had some problems recently. Even if I leave here, I can only leave for two days at most. If I stay away longer, I'm afraid something will happen to my daughter. I have to stay by her side."
Ye Tiancheng did have the intention to help Su Muxian. After all, there was still some affection between them, and he couldn't just ignore her. Even if he met Su Muxian, he pretended not to know her. If she made a request within his ability, he would be hesitant. That wouldn't be right. However, his deepest concern was always his daughter. No one could compare to his daughter's place in his heart.
"I understand. Two days at most. I will definitely send a special car to take you back. I keep my word, or I won't deserve your trust in the future."
Su Muxian looked sincere. She had no other choice now and could only place her last hope on Ye Tiancheng. If Ye Tiancheng didn't cooperate, then even if Su Muxian had a thousand plans, they would ultimately fall through.
Since Su Muxian said so, Ye Tiancheng found it difficult to refuse. After considering it, he decided to ask Hou Mingzhu for her opinion. He had to listen to Hou Mingzhu now, otherwise, if she got angry, even though she seemed normal now, she might not let him see his daughter later. Ye Tiancheng couldn't afford to gamble.
"Then I'll seek Hou Mingzhu's opinion."
Although Su Muxian felt a little disappointed, she had no choice but to agree to Ye Tiancheng's words and nodded.
"Alright, you go and ask first. If Hou Mingzhu doesn't agree, I can also plead with Hou Mingzhu again. I've really encountered a difficult problem this time. I hope Hou Mingzhu can understand me."
Su Muxian's attitude was sincere, and Ye Tiancheng could see that. In this situation, he should consider Su Muxian's feelings more and not burn bridges. After all, they had a past relationship, and Ye Tiancheng couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't need to ask Su Muxian for help one day, so he couldn't go too far.
Ye Tiancheng's eyes already showed his affirmation of Su Muxian's words. He was never a heartless person. Now that someone was asking for his help, Ye Tiancheng would naturally consider their past friendship.
Ye Tiancheng went to discuss it with Hou Mingzhu, and to his surprise, Hou Mingzhu was unexpectedly open-minded and directly agreed to Ye Tiancheng without any hesitation.
"Okay, it's settled. But you can't disappear unreliably. If your daughter has any problems, I want you to appear immediately."
Hou Mingzhu no longer cared about petty jealousies. Her perspective had broadened. She only hoped that Ye Tiancheng could step forward when her daughter needed him.
Ye Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, then tidied up and prepared to set off with Su Muxian. When Fatty heard about this, he quickly ran to Ye Tiancheng's room and then tightly closed the door, as if he had some earth-shattering secret to conspire with Ye Tiancheng. In any case, he appeared highly tense.
"Brother Ye, please don't be foolish. This is the best time for Hou Mingzhu and you to repair your relationship. You two are a perfect match, and you have a daughter. I don't want any detours at this time. Moreover, I feel that Su Muxian's entire demeanor has changed. She's still beautiful, but she's lost her ethereal aura. Honestly, I feel something is wrong."
Fatty wasn't someone who liked to gossip behind people's backs. Moreover, as a grown man, he wouldn't speak ill of others behind their backs. But Fatty really couldn't stand seeing his brother, who had a bumpy romantic life, go astray again.
"It's alright. People like me are too unlucky. I'm not suitable to consider romantic matters. If I think too much about it, I'll end up harming the girls. Think about Liu Lanying's ending. So now I just want to focus on doing the right thing, at least so I don't have any regrets. Su Muxian treated me well before. The reason I could get back up was thanks to Su Muxian's appreciation back then. I've always remembered that kindness and dare not forget even a fraction of it."
Fatty nodded. He was willing to follow Ye Tiancheng back then because he felt Ye Tiancheng was a righteous person. That's why Fatty admired Ye Tiancheng to this day, and it was also the reason Fatty was willing to follow him.
While Ye Tiancheng and Fatty were talking, Little Fox suddenly ran in. Little Fox had been living very comfortably in this villa recently. He ate well and dressed well, and he seemed to have gained a little weight, but not in a fat way. Overall, he gave off a very healthy and positive impression.
"Brother Ye, I heard you're leaving. You're going to help that beautiful sister solve some supernatural problems. Why don't you take me with you? I've been staying here all day and feel like I'm becoming decadent. I also need to train myself and broaden my horizons, especially since I'm still young."
Actually, Little Fox was just restless and wanted to go out adventuring with Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng was also a little tempted. After all, since Lin Xue had fallen into a coma, the iron triangle couldn't maintain its stability. Fortunately, with Little Fox's appearance, the three men together had a good chemistry. Ye Tiancheng was also accustomed to the company of these two brothers. Fatty was the older brother, and Little Fox was the younger brother.
However, Ye Tiancheng was also hesitant because he had started arranging for a tutor for Little Fox these days. Some essential basic knowledge still needed to be learned. People say there's no difference between those who study and those who don't; it all depends on ability. But Ye Tiancheng thought that since he could provide Little Fox with good conditions, why let such a young child be idle all day? Of course, learning some knowledge would be better. After studying, his demeanor would definitely change. Ye Tiancheng had deeply experienced this. He was different from those uncultured bumpkins.
At least Ye Tiancheng was a graduate of a proper university. Although it wasn't a super famous school, it was known to many people. A good school.
"You're eating the highest-grade cuisine here every day. I see your physical condition has also improved a lot compared to before. You were always a bit thin, but now you've not only gained some weight but also your skin is glowing."
Ye Tiancheng naturally hoped that Little Fox could have a good life. This was because Ye Tiancheng strongly suspected that Little Fox must have gone through many hardships living rough in the past. Now that he could enjoy a good life thanks to him, Ye Tiancheng was happy to see him happy.
"If you live a good life for too long, you'll become too comfortable and turn into a waste. Besides, I don't want to be alone here. I believe Brother Fatty will definitely go with you, so I want to go too."
Recently, besides enjoying life, Little Fox had also been practicing drawing talismans. In modern society, there are very few people willing to use talismans, and even books are hard to find. Fatty spent a considerable amount of money to find some ancient books about talismans.
Ye Tiancheng had seen the books before. They were incredibly tattered, but fortunately, they were still somewhat useful. Little Fox seemed to have made significant progress recently.
"Okay, let's go together. But let's make it clear beforehand: you can't rush into danger. You must hide behind me and Brother Fatty. We will protect you and ensure you don't face any danger."
Ye Tiancheng had already made up his mind. Since they had decided to be companions, they should support and care for each other and grow together, rather than just considering the other person's feelings and ignoring their own.
Little Fox was overjoyed. When he smiled, his fox-like eyes curved, and he gave off a very bright and charming impression.
"Then we'll set off in two hours. Everyone get ready. I'm not entirely sure of the situation this time. We could face danger at any moment, so we must remain extremely vigilant and absolutely cannot make any mistakes. A small mistake could lead to eternal damnation."
For someone like Ye Tiancheng, who needed to consider many things, two hours wasn't a very long time, but for Little Fox, it was indeed quite a bit.
Little Fox was truly alone and didn't have many things to worry about. He packed everything in less than 20 minutes. Since he had to wait to depart together, Little Fox wasn't in the mood to do anything else, so he went to the backyard to draw talismans.
This was Little Fox's favorite thing to do recently. It was mainly because he was sometimes bored, and he had read many books on talismans, so he had made some progress. Even without a master by his side, he was still diligently improving his skill in talismans.
Before Ye Tiancheng had finished packing, Fatty had already gone on a tour and chattered in Ye Tiancheng's ear for a while. Ye Tiancheng found Fatty annoying and chased him away. Fatty, being someone who couldn't sit still, quickly went to Little Fox to try and get some attention.
"You're really diligent. I saw you sitting motionless for three hours just to draw one stroke of a talisman, whether it was to the left or right. I remember a profession called talisman master, and I thought it was a very cool profession, but it turns out to be quite hard. I couldn't have such strong concentration. Just thinking about it makes my back hurt."
"What can I do? I can't remember many past events, but this hobby has never changed."
