Chapter 16: Chapter 481: The Origin of the Number One Doctor, the Mohist School

“Ouch! My little ancestor! This is my lifeblood! Can I trade something else for it? There really isn't anything good in this wallet!”

The old man's voice suddenly drifted over again, and as the voice came, it rushed rapidly toward Bu Feichen!

Bu Feichen narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to retreat with Yuanbao, he saw Yuanbao suddenly jump from his arms, clutching the money bag and running toward Di Yiyi!

*Thump!*

Ye Jinxie's heart gave a sudden violent leap. She regretted it so much! She should have told Yuanbao to throw the money bag to her; why did she let him open it directly!

“Little brat! Don't run! I'll trade plenty of good things with you, okay?”

The old man's voice carried an irrepressible tension and concern. Although he was following closely behind Yuanbao, he had no intention of harming the child; he seemed only afraid that Yuanbao would run off with his money bag, so he merely followed behind without pressing him.

As Yuanbao ran, he said back over his shoulder with a grin, “Grandpa! Come out first and then we can talk about the conditions! Otherwise, I'll just keep running and won't give it to you!”

“Oh heavens! Little brat, this is my money bag!”

The old man was clearly getting anxious.

“Yuanbao! Quickly, give the money bag back!” Di Yiyi frowned and hurriedly urged him.

Yuanbao curled his lip, his cute little face glowing with a healthy flush. “This money bag fell on the ground and I picked it up. I didn't steal it, so why are you angry, Grandpa?”

Di Yiyi grew frantic. “Yuanbao, give it back quickly!”

Bu Feichen and Ye Jinxie also darkened their expressions. This old man—the three of them might not even be able to deal with him. The feeling this old man gave them was even more intense than that of the Pavilion Master back then!

However, just as they were growing tense, the old man's murmuring voice suddenly drifted over: “That's true... my money bag fell on the ground, and the little brat didn't know it was mine, so he picked it up. Now that I say it's mine, the little brat definitely won't believe it... So how can I make the little brat believe that the money bag is mine...”

Three black lines immediately slid down the foreheads of Ye Jinxie and the other two...

Ye Jinxie really wanted to say to that old man, who was currently agonizing in invisibility: *Yuanbao didn't mean it that way, you're just overthinking it...*

The old man agonized for a while before suddenly saying, “Little brat! I'm coming out now, so stop running first!”

*If I stop, won't you just catch me?*

Yuanbao's grape-like eyes rolled around, and he shouted in a clear, bright voice, “You come out first, then I'll stop!”

“Little brat! You stop first!”

“You come out first...”

Yuanbao kept running in circles around Di Yiyi's location and behind Ye Jinxie and Bu Feichen, while the old man chased after him. They could vaguely see a cloud of dust rising behind Yuanbao that was difficult to detect; if one weren't observing intentionally, no one would know that an invisible person was actually following behind!

*Impossible!*

Ye Jinxie was astonished in her heart. She had been in this world for so long, but whether it was the Pavilion Master or the Buddha Lord, she had never seen any of them use invisibility. For this old man to be invisible to them, he was either too fast, or he possessed some means to alter their vision!

Just then, the old man finally shouted while panting, “Not running, not running! This old man admits defeat! I'll come out, just stop running, little brat!”

The old man clearly stopped. The dust slowly settled, and at that moment, a wrinkled, elderly hand suddenly appeared in mid-air. It seemed to pluck something from the air, and then, an old man with a head of white hair appeared abruptly in mid-air!

Yuanbao ran to Ye Jinxie's side, came to a halt, panted, and said, “Mommy, this Grandpa can really run! This is the first time Baby has seen someone able to run with him for such a long time!”

Having said that, Yuanbao turned to look toward where the old man was and suddenly widened his eyes. “Grandpa, why do you only have a head!”

The old man's head was only half a meter above the ground. Could he really be that tall? But the head wasn't small! Then how short was his body!

Ye Jinxie also stared dumbfoundedly at the panting old man.

Hearing this, the old man looked down and immediately laughed. “Haha! This old man is a bit forgetful, so I forgot to take off the entire cloak! Right, what were we talking about just now?”

*Uh...*

Ye Jinxie's mouth twitched. This wasn't just "a bit" forgetful; this was extremely forgetful!

As he spoke, the old man reached out and pulled off a transparent object from his body. When that transparent object was flipped over, Ye Jinxie and the others saw that the object was actually a grayish-black cloak!

And that cloak, when draped over a person, could actually make them invisible in plain sight?!

Seeing everyone staring at his cloak, the old man couldn't help but stroke the seemingly very smooth fabric and said, “This cloak was made by my old lady when she was young. She truly was a genius!”

As he spoke, the old man seemed to fall into a beautiful memory, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

“Ahem!” Ye Jinxie coughed lightly to wake the old man. She looked at the cloak, her eyes already sparkling. If the old man insisted on getting the money bag back, wouldn't it be better to trade that invisibility cloak for it?!

It was only then that Ye Jinxie noticed the old man was dressed entirely in pure white clothes. The texture of the clothing was excellent, and he wasn't actually only half a meter tall; he had just sat on the ground to rest because he was tired from running. Well, although he wasn't only half a meter, he was only about one meter tall.

The old man was covered in silver-white, which immediately made Ye Jinxie think of her Master, the Pavilion Master. Her heart stirred—could there be some connection between the Pavilion Master and this man?

The old man snapped back to his senses and grinned. “Talking and talking, I've forgotten again! Since you asked, I'll tell you the secret of this cloak!”

*Pfft...*

Ye Jinxie nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. They hadn't said a single word from beginning to end; it had been this old man talking the whole time. How could this muddled old man give up his secret so easily?

She was seriously wondering if this old man met people like them every day and just showed them his cloak and told them his secrets?!

However, what shattered Ye Jinxie's thought was the old man suddenly turning to look at Yuanbao and grinning. “Although this old man shouldn't have brought a wallet out, the wallet made no sound when it fell on the ground, yet this tiny little brat could see it at a glance. For that reason alone, I am telling you this secret. Otherwise, this old man would absolutely refuse to say it!”

Ye Jinxie's eyebrow twitched: Yuanbao's life-bound element was gold; he was extremely sensitive to money. As long as silver appeared around him, it would never escape his sight. So, regardless of whether the old man's money bag made a sound or not, Yuanbao would be able to detect the presence of silver immediately...

This old man was actually far too easy to fool...

The old man continued to chatter incessantly about his secret. “This cloak, actually, doesn't have the effect of turning someone into air...”

*Isn't that obvious?*

Ye Jinxie rolled her eyes. It was absolutely impossible for anyone in this world to turn into air!

“The secret to all of this is actually in the outer layer of this cloak.”

As he spoke, the old man flipped the cloak over again for them to see the outside.

Ye Jinxie and the others certainly did not disappoint the old man; they immediately leaned in to look. They saw that the cloak was inscribed with certain patterns that looked like talismans.

Di Yiyi's eyes lit up, and he was the first to speak: “It's the Sun-Piercing Hong Sect!”

Hearing this, Ye Jinxie also realized. She had wondered why it looked so familiar, as if only the Divine Diviners of the Sun-Piercing Hong Sect used talismans, yet she had never seen a Divine Diviner use them. Ye Jinxie had even maliciously speculated whether the Divine Diviners themselves didn't know how to use them...

She hadn't expected to see the talismans of the Sun-Piercing Hong Sect here.

Bu Feichen also raised his eyebrows slightly, which made Ye Jinxie very suspicious—had he seen a Divine Diviner use talismans before?

*Slap!*

Suddenly, the old man jumped up in anger and reached out to smack Di Yiyi on the head. “You little brat from the Mo family, what do you know?! You only know the medical arts of your family; don't talk nonsense about other things! What Sun-Piercing Hong Sect! This is clearly my...”

At this point, the old man's tone paused. He fell into deep thought and murmured, “What was I? Which family am I from? Why can't I suddenly remember...”

*Uh...*

Regarding the old man's memory—forgetting what he should remember and remembering what he shouldn't—Ye Jinxie felt completely speechless.

She turned her gaze toward Di Yiyi. “Mo family?”

Upon hearing those two words, Di Yiyi instinctively frowned. His entire being radiated a thick sense of coldness and killing intent, a stark contrast to the Di Yiyi who usually joked with Bu Feichen and bickered with her. He seemed like a completely different person.

Bu Feichen slowly took a step forward and placed a hand on Di Yiyi's shoulder. Di Yiyi immediately seemed to be forcibly pulled back from a memory; a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He slowly turned his head, looked at Bu Feichen, and managed a forced smile. “I'm fine.”

Judging from the old man's words and Di Yiyi's reaction...

Di Yiyi was a member of a Mo family from one of the Three Great Sacred Lands, and this family was famous for its medical arts. It was no wonder Di Yiyi had such talent and research in medicine; he must have been forced to read many medical books since he was a child!

In the past, when Di Yiyi was by her side, she had never considered where this person had come from or why he seemed to appear out of thin air. He had no relatives and no hometown; it was as if Bu Feichen was his only relative in this world. Wherever Bu Feichen was, he was there.

She had simply assumed they were brothers, so Di Yiyi was protecting Bu Feichen. In truth, Di Yiyi indeed was protecting Bu Feichen; most importantly, Bu Feichen was likely the only person he cared about in that world...

Ye Jinxie suddenly took a deep breath, stepped forward two paces to stand before Di Yiyi, and slapped his shoulder hard. She said heroically, “First Bastard, although you once made things difficult for me, and once stood by and watched Yuanbao in danger, and although you always bicker with me, and always try to steal Feichen from me, and are always so annoying...”

Di Yiyi's face grew darker and darker...

“But! As the saying goes, one becomes friends through fighting! And you are Feichen's good brother! So, I am telling you today: no matter what happens to you, no matter what danger you face, you must not be afraid, do not be depressed, and do not give up, because Feichen and I are still here! Even if you are imprisoned in the Nine Heavens, you can just sit up there, drink tea, and play with crickets, waiting for Feichen and me to go to the Nine Heavens to rescue you!

We still have plenty of time. To those who have lived long enough to become demons, we are very young. We will live many times longer than them, so what is there to fear?”
