Ye Lingyun clutched his severed arm, his face pale and filled with fear and resentment. He could hardly believe that he had suffered such a loss in front of Shen Qingyue!
The surrounding Ninth Grade Students were dumbfounded, their eyes wide open as if they had turned to stone. They could not fathom how someone who appeared so delicate and fragile, like a porcelain doll, could be so violent! This was no cold girl; she was clearly a violent little girl!
Chen Li watched the scene unfold, his smile growing even brighter. He leaned closer to Shen Qingyue, ruffling her hair and speaking gently, "Xiao Yue, well done!"
Shen Qingyue lifted her small face and flashed a sweet smile at Chen Li. The icy dominance she had just displayed vanished in an instant, replaced by the charming innocence of a young girl. "Brother, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, I’ll help you beat them up!"
The speed at which Shen Qingyue changed her demeanor left the surrounding Ninth Grade Students in shock, their jaws nearly dropping. This brother-sister duo was surprisingly formidable! Who would dare provoke them now?
Ye Lingyun glared at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue with resentment, his expression dazed. "You two have hidden your true strength! What a pity you’re not acting!"
Chen Li chuckled, revealing a bright smile. "Ye Shao, we never claimed our cultivation was weak!"
Ye Lingyun pressed his hand against his severed arm, his face ashen and cold sweat trickling down his forehead. The intense pain made it hard for him to think; he still struggled to accept the reality before him. He pointed at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, his voice hoarse and tinged with hysteria. "It’s because of you two useless fools that Wuding Hou severed ties with you and expelled you from the Hou residence! If you were really this strong, how could the Shen Family have disappeared overnight? Even your mother—"
Suddenly, Ye Lingyun felt as if someone had grasped his throat; his voice cut off abruptly. He realized he had said something wrong, a flicker of terror crossing his eyes as he quickly shut his mouth.
The air around them seemed to freeze, the silence palpable.
Chen Li's smile gradually faded, his gaze becoming deep and icy like a cold pool that sent shivers down one’s spine. He stepped closer to Ye Lingyun. "What did you just say? What happened to my mother?"
Chen Li's voice was low and laced with a dangerous undertone.
Since that night, Grandfather's family had vanished without a trace, and Mother was nowhere to be found, leaving only the Shen Family Mansion reduced to blackened ruins.
This was the first time he had heard news about his mother from someone outside. Ye Lingyun's expression faltered as he instinctively turned his head away, unwilling to say another word. He had almost let that secret slip just moments ago.
Chen Li pressed closer, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if he could slice through Ye Lingyun's very being. "I'll ask you one more time," Chen Li's voice was low and terrifying, echoing like it came from the depths of hell. "What happened to my mother?"
Ye Lingyun swallowed hard, his throat tightening. The warning from the mysterious figure echoed in his mind—if he revealed even a hint of information, he would wish for death. He couldn't afford to take that risk; he dared not disclose such a secret. Yet Chen Li's fierce eyes were like blades, leaving him with no escape.
Trembling, he stammered, "I-I was just saying it casually; how would I know what happened to your mother?"
Chen Li sneered coldly. "You better think carefully before you speak. If you don't tell the truth, I'll end you right now!"
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Chen Li suddenly struck out, his hand clamping around Ye Lingyun's throat like an iron vise. The sensation of suffocation sent Ye Lingyun into a panic.
The speed of Chen Li's attack was indeed lethal; he could easily erase Ye Lingyun in an instant.
"Cough! Chen Li, are you insane?" Ye Lingyun struggled to force out a few words from his constricted throat, his face shifting from pale to green and then to purple. Hatred surged in his eyes, yet he found himself unable to break free from Chen Li's grip.
In terror, Ye Lingyun cried out, his voice hoarse and tinged with desperation. "Chen Li, do you want to murder your fellow disciple in public?"
The surrounding Ninth Grade Students were also stunned; they never expected Chen Li to be so bold as to attack Ye Lingyun openly. However, at that moment, Chen Li exuded an aura that kept everyone at bay; no one dared approach.
As they stood there unsure of how to intervene, a figure appeared before them like a ghost.
The presence of the newcomer was accompanied by a hint of medicinal fragrance. As the distorted Light and Shadow dissipated, the figure of the visitor became clear. It was Elder Li Yuanhua, clad in a blue robe, exuding an air of ethereal grace.
"Chen Li, do not be reckless! Put him down at once!" Li Yuanhua's voice carried a tone of authority and urgency as he assessed the situation.
However, Chen Li did not loosen his grip. He merely nodded slightly toward Li Yuanhua with an apologetic expression. "Elder Li, the pharmacy students are ready. We have enough medicine for each senior of Ninth Grade to have a Ning Ling."
He paused for a moment, his gaze turning icy again. "What happens between Ye Lingyun and me is our private matter. I hope Elder Li will not interfere! Whatever the consequences may be, I, Chen Li, will bear them all!"
Li Yuanhua furrowed his brow, surprised by Chen Li's stubbornness. He glanced at Ye Lingyun, whose face was turning purple and who was on the verge of losing consciousness. His heart tightened as he quickly tried to reason with him. "Chen Li, are you sure you want to do this? If you let him go, we can discuss any issues calmly."
Chen Li shook his head firmly, staring intently at Ye Lingyun as he spoke in a low voice. "Elder Li, he knows the whereabouts of my mother; it must be related to her disappearance! Everything else can be negotiated, but harming my grandfather's family and endangering my mother is absolutely intolerable! I hope you understand!"
After a moment of silence, Li Yuanhua finally nodded. "Very well, since that is the case, I will not intervene. However, you must ensure Ye Lingyun's safety; otherwise, I will not let it go lightly!"
"Thank you, Elder Li!" Chen Li cupped his hands in gratitude.
Despite receiving Li Yuanhua's consent, Chen Li did not ease his grip in the slightest. He fixed his gaze on Ye Lingyun and said word by word: "This is your last chance. Tell me what happened to my mother!"
Fear of death enveloped Ye Lingyun; he felt as if he were suffocating. In that moment, he completely broke down.
"I... I will tell you," he stammered.
Hearing this, Chen Li slightly loosened his hold.
Coughing violently, Ye Lingyun gasped for breath.
"Speak quickly!" Chen Li urged coldly, unable to contain his urgency.
Ye Lingyun shivered in fear and said haltingly, "I saw your mother being taken by a mysterious person..."
"A mysterious person?" Chen Li frowned deeply. "What kind of mysterious person?"
Ye Lingyun shook his head. "I don't know that. At that time, I just happened to see it. All I remember is that the mysterious person wore black clothing and had a red spider pattern on their wrist."
