Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Strange Phenona
"Second Brother, she’s not Lin Jiao, her na is Xu Qing!"
While speaking, Wu Xia was checking on Wu Tie, his expression growing even more serious.
It was only now that he realized, could it be that the Vermilion Bird’s words were not ant to guard against Lin Jiao, but to protect Wu Tie?
But at that ti, the Vermilion Bird had specifically pointed out Lin Jiao, right?
So why was Wu Tie presenting such a condition?
This left Wu Xia sowhat baffled, always feeling as if those invisible hands were still controlling him, setting a deeper trap.
Although Wu Tie’s face had aged, his eyes were hollow, especially when he saw that Xu Qing was not Lin Jiao, the void in his gaze deepened.
And he was missing precisely one soul and one spirit.
Therefore, the mories Wu Xia had cleared for him also created an incomplete situation, causing Wu Tie’s mind to lose direction.
It was like dealing with a child who had just been born, yet had decades of mories, but was missing a soul, hence manifesting symptoms akin to senile dentia.
When Wu Xia treated Wu Tie, he had been fully prepared, so the ergence of such a situation clearly indicated soone’s deliberate intervention.
Yet, Wu Xia couldn’t find a single clue.
"Big Brother, when did Second Brother start showing these symptoms?"
Wu Xia looked gravely at Wu Gang.
"Ah?" Wu Gang was montarily stunned, his carefree self completely imrsed in the joy of having a child, and he only partially understood the situation with Wu Tie.
"I don’t know either!"
"When he first woke up, he was very weak and barely spoke, and then after he was able to get out of bed and walk, he kept talking about you, but you never ca back."
"Then it must have been like this since he woke up, it must be!"
Speaking to himself, Wu Gang provided an answer.
Wu Xia’s brow furrowed tightly. If this had been the case since the awakening, then there must have been an issue during the treatnt.
"What do you an, ’it was like this when he woke up’?" Zhou Fang glanced at Wu Gang with disdain, then walked over, her belly showing: "He was quite normal at the beginning, very weak, but he recognized people. It was only after you last ca and took Jiaojiao that he turned out this way!"
"I’m the one who’s been watching at ho every day, I know best!"
"Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?" Wu Xia asked anxiously.
Could it be that Wu Tie’s soul, along with one soul and one spirit, was on Lin Jiao when he fetched her?
"When have I ever told a lie!" Zhou Fang said solemnly, "Why not call Qin over to ask if you want to know for sure?"
Wu Xia blinked in surprise, rembering only then that Qin Sheng had been staying in the countryside the whole ti. Since he hadn’t given her any new orders, she hadn’t left.
With a single thought from Wu Xia, Qin Sheng, who had been cultivating in the mountains, sensed it and imdiately rushed over.
Chen Yuting also ca with her.
"Master!"
"Master!"
Both of them saluted Wu Xia respectfully.
Seeing a new woman by Wu Xia’s side, both of their eyes revealed aningful smiles.
Wu Xia didn’t mind these details and imdiately asked about his concerns.
After pondering for a mont, Qin Sheng recounted the situation: "Master, sister-in-law is correct!"
"When your Second Brother woke up, everything was normal, though he was very weak, his Soul Power was complete!"
"Although I left to cultivate in the mountains after you took Miss Lin away and did not witness what happened later, it definitely wasn’t like how it is now!"
With a confird response, Wu Xia finally understood the situation.
He could now be certain that soone had been pulling strings behind the scenes, extracting one soul and one spirit from Wu Tie.
However, the adversary had left no trace at all. Inside Wu Tie’s body, there was only the presence of Wu Xia himself.
This actually bewildered Wu Xia a bit.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if the other party had great Divine Skills, it’s impossible to leave no trace. There’s definitely a problem!"
Wu Xia said firmly.
The situation with Wu Tie right now was as if he had done it on purpose, which left Wu Xia quite helpless.
"Xia, is there sothing wrong with Second Brother?" Wu Gang asked worriedly.
Wu Xia also snapped back to reality, first steadying his mind, knowing that guessing here wouldn’t solve anything. Therefore, he decided to take Wu Tie to the Ten Thousand Forest to ask Xuanwu about the situation.
"It’s fine, Big Brother. You all don’t need to worry; I will handle it!"
Wu Xia adjusted his ntality and revealed the purpose of his visit, "Big Brother, Sister-in-Law, I’ve co back this ti to take Sister-in-Law to the city, to join Jiaojao. It’s convenient for them to exchange pregnancy experiences and go for pregnancy check-ups together."
"Oh, that’s fine!" Wu Gang didn’t think too much and casually said, "The foundation of the house here has been completed; it needs to air out for a good half year, and the New Year is also approaching. I was planning to find a place for the New Year. It’s not good to always be living in soone else’s house!"
"Hmm!" Wu Xia nodded, "Then I’ll first take Sister-in-Law back, and you can co over by car after you’ve sorted out the follow-up issues!"
"Good!" Wu Gang nodded heartily.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two have agreed on this, but have you asked for my opinion?" Zhou Fang looked at them displeased, pouting, "I’ve just managed to regain so face, and I haven’t enjoyed it enough!"
Wu Xia gave a slight smile, "Sister-in-Law, giving birth in the city allows the child to go to school there. I’ve already arranged for soone to build an expressway directly to Wujia Gully. It will be convenient to travel back and forth."
"Isn’t it nicer to have the child born and the house renovated?"
As a country person at heart, Zhou Fang acquiesced upon hearing that the child could go to school in the city, a dream for many country folks after all.
Even though they lacked for nothing now, Zhou Fang still saw herself as separate from Wu Xia, preferring to lead a more ordinary life with Wu Gang.
Wu Xia perfectly grasped Zhou Fang’s psychology, leaving her with nothing to say. She mumbled and went to pack her things, leaving with Wu Xia and the others.
Wu Xia also took Wu Tie, Chen Yuting, and Qin Sheng with him.
After all, taking care of two pregnant won, despite their strength, still required soone to look after them.
Upon returning to Hai City, Wu Xia didn’t go directly ho; he still needed to prevent Wu Tie from eting Lin Jiao.
So, he first sent Wu Tie and Xu Qing to Xu Qing’s house and had Xu Qing take care of him. Wu Xia would co to pick him up after returning ho.
On the way back to the villa, Wu Xia repeatedly emphasized to Zhou Fang and Chen Yuting, "You must rember not to ntion Wu Tie in front of Jiaojao, got it?"
"Don’t worry, I know!" Zhou Fang waved her hand and patted her chest assuredly.
The one Wu Xia was most worried about was Zhou Fang; after all, her loose lips could reveal secrets.
However, with Zhou Fang pregnant, especially given the situation with Wu Tie, Wu Xia didn’t dare to easily erase her mory but insisted seriously.
"Sister-in-Law, you must rember, never slip up. It concerns Jiaojao’s life, as well as the life of the child in her womb!"
"Hmm!" Zhou Fang replied firmly, "Xia, Sister-in-Law might be a chatterbox, but I do know what matters; you don’t have to worry."
Still uneasy, Wu Xia secretly communicated to Chen Yuting and Qin Sheng, instructing them to always pay attention to Zhou Fang’s words and to stop her imdiately if anything slipped.
Only then did Wu Xia breathe a sigh of relief and lead the three back to the villa.
Lin Jiao might have been pregnant, but she couldn’t stay idle; knowing that Zhou Fang was coming, she was already cooking lunch at ho.
"Jiaojao, you’re pregnant; how can you do the work yourself? You need to rest well!"
Wu Xia hurried forward to stop Lin Jiao, taking over the pot from her hands, and asked her to join Zhou Fang, while he took over the cooking.
Lin Jiao didn’t object, simply smiling slightly and then chatting with Zhou Fang.
Wu Xia, though in the kitchen, continuously observed their conversation with his spiritual power, afraid Zhou Fang might slip up.
Fortunately, Zhou Fang was tight-lipped and didn’t ntion anything of that sort, with both of them discussing reactions to pregnancy instead.
Wu Xia finally felt so relief.
But at that mont, Xu Qing called anxiously, "Wu Xia, it’s bad, your Second Brother has disappeared."
Boom!
"What?"
