Chapter 690: 647
Ye Tian was half-asleep when he sensed soone had already arrived at his ho. He opened his eyes and quietly listened to the noises outside the door. It seed as if soone was searching for sothing. Could it be a thief? Impossible! No thief could be that skilled.
Thinking this, Ye Tian imdiately got up, opened the door to his room, and leaned against the door fra, not uttering a word.
“What are you looking for?” Ye Tian couldn’t help but ask finally. His living room was a ss, and he was worried about Xiaoqian screaming in shock upon seeing it.
“You…” The person in the darkness was startled by Ye Tian.
“I’m asking you, what are you looking for??” Ye Tian turned on the light, staring at the man in front of him.
“You~” The man drew a dagger from within his clothes and lunged at Ye Tian, who easily dodged the attack. The man, not convinced, tried again, but Ye Tian dodged each ti. Finally, having had enough, Ye Tian used a grappling move to pin the man to the ground.
“You’re no ordinary thief; you’re skilled. Speak! What exactly are you here in my house for?” Ye Tian questioned as he clutched the man’s throat, his face growing red and his breathing becoming ever more difficult.
“I’m asking you, are you going to talk or not? If not, I’ll easily send you off to et King Yan!” Ye Tian’s voice instilled intense fear in the man, who desperately nodded.
Ye Tian loosened his grip, and the man began to cough violently.
“Cough cough… Today, soone told that there was a dicine of Immortality in your house, so I decided to co and check it out.”
“What?!” Ye Tian was dumbfounded. “Who told you that?”
“Today, many people were talking about it. They said soone nad Ye Tian had the dicine of Immortality and so were even peddling your address.”
“Damn it!” Ye Tian cursed, swearing at heaven and earth, “Dead old man, not only did you set up, but now you’ve brought trouble to my doorstep!”
Ye Tian wondered if people had gone mad nowadays. Immortality? With such a bizarre reason, could people really believe it? Despite all the advancents in dicine, there wasn’t a single person who had achieved everlasting life. What a bunch of fools.
However, this man was just the beginning. That night, three different groups of people showed up at Ye Tian’s place, all just petty thieves, scarcely worth ntioning.
Ye Tian, feeling annoyed, took Xiaoqian back to the Sixth Group. It was a place where no one knew them, so it was as good as any for a rest.
Xiaoqian yawned without knowing why she had to move house in the middle of the night.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t you know we had a lot of thieves at our house tonight?” Ye Tian asked, sporting dark circles under his eyes.
“Yeah, I know.”
“You knew and still slept so peacefully?”
“With you here, it would be embarrassing to be bested by a few petty thieves.” Xiaoqian’s words instantly defused Ye Tian’s frustration.
“We’re moving house; otherwise, we’ll continue to face endless trouble.”
“Whatever you want.”
The next morning, the first person Ye Tian saw was Qin Chuan. When she saw Ye Tian, she didn’t say anything, just lowered her head and tried to walk past quickly.
“Qin Chuan, stop right there!” Ye Tian wasn’t about to let her get away that easily.
“What?” Qin Chuan’s face was stern.
“Qin Hai ca looking for . Do you know about that?”
“I know.”
“But don’t you think it’s absurd that he’s looking for ?”
“I’ve already made it very clear to him. You don’t have to worry about my brother causing you trouble anymore.” Qin Chuan could never have imagined Qin Hai would think she had lost her senses because of Ye Tian. Although this was partly true, it was only a small part; it was presumptuous. How could she face Ye Tian after this?
“Still, I’m now in trouble. I don’t care; since your brother has wronged , you have to do sothing for .” Ye Tian had previously sensed that Qin Chuan had so unusual feelings for him, but thought he was mistaken.
It wasn’t until Qin Hai had explicitly told him that he was certain. However, he didn’t want any entanglent with Qin Chuan. There were too many won around him, and he had hurt every one of them. He couldn’t bear to harm anyone else.
“What is it?” Qin Chuan asked.
“Xiaoqian has nowhere to live. She’ll stay at your place for a while. My house is currently very…” Ye Tian paused to choose the right word, “very chaotic. I’m afraid Xiaoqian might get hurt.”
“You sure are good to Xiaoqian.” Qin Chuan’s tone was tinged with jealousy, “If Xiaoqian didn’t look so innocent, I might have really thought she was soone special to you.”
“Think what you want.” Ye Tian waved it off.
Ye Tian resolved Xiaoqian’s issue; now he could focus on dealing with those people. But before that, he had to visit that old man one more ti; there might be sothing left for him.
The old man’s residence was just a simple bungalow not far from the graveyard. The interior furnishings were equally simple. Despite rummaging through everything, Ye Tian found nothing; the old man hadn’t even taken his clothes, just left all by himself.
“Could he really have duped like this! He didn’t even leave a na.” Ye Tian continued searching, confirming there truly was nothing to identify the man.
Ye Tian left helplessly and returned ho, which had beco a battlefield. It seed impossible to stay any longer. Suddenly, Ye Tian thought of soone—Bai Yanwu—and wondered how she was doing now.
Promptly heading to Bai Yanwu’s house, Ye Tian considered the enormous villa she lived in all by herself a wasteful affair. If nothing else worked out, he might as well stay there for a while.
Ye Tian had an interest in Bai Yanwu simply because he was a man. However, what a man could least bear was her utter indifference, so cool that it wasn’t even fun for him.
