Tangsun Lake
In the early morning, a gentle breeze wafted into a second-floor room of a two-story building. The light green curtains danced lightly with the fresh air, reminiscent of the graceful steps of a beautiful woman. The morning light, like a mischievous child, ran freely through every corner, bringing endless vitality to the world.
"Ha—" Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ye Yu exhaled a breath of stale air, his previously serious face now calm and gentle. It had been nearly a month since the last assassination attempt, and Ye Yu had officially been discharged from the hospital yesterday.
Although he had just left the hospital, Ye Yu did not give up on practicing Mental Power. After all, it was his only reliance after sustaining injuries to his foundation. His injuries had almost healed by the third day after waking up, but Long Ling'er, along with Long Ruofei and Qin Guan, insisted that he stay in the hospital longer. During this time, they had been searching for various medicines to enhance his physical abilities. However, according to Jin Shan's examination, these medicines had no effect on his foundational recovery. Surprisingly, during this month without practicing any martial arts and gradually relaxing, Ye Yu had even gained some weight.
On the day of his discharge, Long Ruofei brought Ye Yu news that he was to meet Long Yin Yue at seven o'clock sharp on Silver Dragon Star. What was meant to come would always come; Ye Yu understood that there was no way for him to evade it.
As Ye Yu adjusted his state of mind, he immersed himself within his body. Almost simultaneously, his Psychic Power thoroughly examined his entire physique.
"Something's not right; how can I find no issues at all?" Ye Yu knew that his Mental Power could accurately assess his physical condition, yet after checking just now, he found no abnormalities whatsoever.
In the next moment, Ye Yu focused intently again, an invisible wave emanating from him. This wave was incredibly dense, quietly enveloping him.
Half an hour later, a strange expression appeared on Ye Yu's face as he muttered to himself, "Those energies seem not to have disappeared but cannot be controlled at will. Could it be...?"
As if realizing something, a look of determination flashed across Ye Yu's face. He transformed into a blur and shot toward the door.
"Ah—" In less than a second, Ye Yu reappeared in the room but was now half-kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat and displaying an expression of pain on his once calm face.
In that brief moment, Ye Yu had attempted to mobilize the energy within him to perform the Lightness Technique. However, in an instant, that energy uncontrollably surged toward other parts of his body. At that moment, it felt as if countless tiny needles were piercing through him; pain and numbness crashed over him like massive waves.
"You... attempted to use your technique?"
Jin Shan found himself at Ye Yu's doorstep, frowning as he looked at Ye Yu. Unlike before, he was not wearing a long robe but instead donned the same standard uniform as Ye Yu, typical attire for members of the Silver Dragon Guard. However, the Silver Dragon Guard did not prohibit ordinary people from wearing it.
Ye Yu rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, managing to squeeze out a word through clenched jaws, "Hmm—"
Jin Shan shook his head and said, "Since the Dragon Family is willing to help, you shouldn't rush to solve the problem on your own. If something irreversible happens, I currently have no way to address it."
At that moment, Ye Yu felt utterly powerless; he couldn't even stand up. The intense pain quickly drenched him in sweat. He couldn't help but feel a pang of fear; he had indeed acted too impulsively just now. If it weren't for the fact that the Lightness Technique required little energy and he hadn't exerted himself fully, he might have exploded from within!
"Wait... I... can't... n-no..." Ye Yu's face turned nearly red as he struggled to speak.
Jin Shan waved his hand to interrupt, "I know you're in pain right now. However, I've observed that the energy within you has begun to stabilize. If you maintain this position for thirty-two minutes, you'll be able to move! But during this time, you must not use any power!"
With that, Jin Shan turned and left without looking back, though a sly smile crept onto his lips. He had just deceived Ye Yu; he calculated that the uncontrollable energy would stabilize completely in eight minutes. He intentionally made Ye Yu worry a bit longer, hoping he would remember this lesson.
...
Ye Yu sat in the flying car, watching the scenery rush by outside the window as memories flashed through his mind. His life of less than nineteen years felt short yet filled with experiences that many would never encounter in a lifetime. Now, due to his injuries, he faced another choice in life—what choice would be the best?
Tangsun Lake was not far from the lord's mansion; within minutes, the flying car arrived at a quiet forest path. With five minutes left until their agreed meeting time, Ye Yu instinctively quickened his pace after getting out of the car. Three minutes later, he arrived in front of a two-story wooden building. The large door made of raw wood was already open, revealing a person inside. This individual wore a light blue cross-collared long shirt and casually sat at the head of a long dining table, seemingly enjoying breakfast.
Ye Yu paused for a moment before stepping inside. The person eating breakfast was none other than Long Yin Yue. He seemed to have known it was Ye Yu coming; upon hearing his footsteps, he pointed to the first seat on his right and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? This is freshly delivered breakfast; I wonder if you'll like it."
At that moment, Ye Yu noticed that Long Yin Yue's breakfast was quite simple—a large bowl of noodles served in a raw wood-colored porcelain bowl alongside a bowl of milky-white drink resembling milk. Yet despite its simplicity, Long Yin Yue ate with great seriousness as if savoring some extraordinary delicacy. As for Ye Yu's seat, there was an additional dish—a plate neatly arranged with six golden pieces of food that appeared to be primarily made from rice and were interspersed with some soy sauce-colored ingredients wrapped in a golden outer layer resembling a crust.
Hearing Long Yin Yue's words, Ye Yu felt a sudden hunger in his abdomen and decided not to be polite, sitting down directly. Instinctively, Ye Yu picked up the bowl of drink and took a sip. Immediately, a fragrant and sweet flavor spread through his stomach, and the warm feeling of fullness made Ye Yu feel invigorated.
