Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482: An Unexpected Salvation
The two great guardians could sense it, and so could Wang Yuero, who was one of the most powerful guardians and had already essentially grasped the essence of the Earth.
Moreover, from this pressure, she sensed an extrely familiar aura, which imdiately threw her into a state of panic because she felt that this aura was highly unstable.
Apart from these peerless strong beings, three won also sensed sothing amiss with Ye Fei: Liu Yiru, Ye Yunqi, and Ye Liuer. Although their strength was not yet sufficient to detect such nuances, the bond forged by their close blood relations allowed them to sense it even earlier than those powerful beings.
At that mont, Ye Yunqi and Ye Liuer were helping their mother take care of the four little ones.
When the uneasy feeling suddenly washed over them, they both stopped all their movents simultaneously.
Ye Liuer was the first to speak up, saying, “Mom, I feel like Dad is in danger!”
Liu Yiru and Ye Yunqi exchanged glances, further confirming that their intuition was correct. Without a mont to spare for the four little ones who had just finished feeding and hadn’t yet fallen asleep, they hurried out of the small villa and ran towards the estate’s exit.
Along the way, they t Wang Yuero, who was also in a rush. Without even needing to speak, they understood each other’s purpose.
“Mom, should we notify the other sisters?” Ye Yunqi asked Liu Yiru as they continued to move outward. Although Wang Yuero was Liu Yiru’s biological mother and the eldest in seniority, the entire family had long recognized Liu Yiru as the de facto matriarch of the household, and thus she was the one to make major decisions.
“No need. Let’s first confirm the situation,” Liu Yiru replied without hesitation.
As the matriarch, she was not only worried about her son but also had the responsibility to look out for the other won who loved her son just as dearly.
The last ti her son had left, it had been for a whole year, and everyone had endured so much pain.
Now, informing the others about Ye Fei’s potential danger would only cause them unnecessary worry without being able to help. It was better to first understand what was happening before discussing it with them.
All four won possessed extraordinary strength, so they didn’t need to drive or use any other ans of transportation.
They simply walked out of the estate and, at the fastest speed possible, entered the city. However, once inside the city, they were sowhat at a loss because none of them could sense Ye Fei’s exact location; they only knew he was sowhere within the city.
In the past, this would have been unimaginable.
All four won had a spiritual connection with Ye Fei, especially Liu Yiru, Ye Yunqi, and Ye Liuer, who were bound by blood. Although Wang Yuero was slightly weaker in this regard compared to her daughter and granddaughter, her unparalleled strength, combined with the unique power of the Earth Mother, would have allowed her to locate not just Ye Fei but even a stranger within a hundred-mile radius in an instant.
Yet, at this mont, none of them could pinpoint Ye Fei’s location.
This was because Ye Fei’s aura was spread throughout every corner of the city, covering it uniformly.
With no other choice, the four won had to resort to the most rudintary thod: they split up and searched while Liu Yiru also contacted the Lingyun Society to assist in the search.
At this point, Ye Fei’s condition had deteriorated to an extrely critical state. His true energy was boiling more violently than ever, and even his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred. The once bustling street had beco desolate because of him.
All animals have an instinctive alertness to danger. Although this instinct is suppressed in humans due to the developnt of intelligence, it has not disappeared.
Therefore, even though most people could not sense anything amiss with Ye Fei, their instinctive aversion to danger caused them to subconsciously stay away from the area.
With fewer people around, the likelihood of soone noticing Ye Fei’s abnormal condition decreased even further. Moreover, even if soone did notice, they might not necessarily be well-intentioned.
At this point, Ye Fei’s situation was so dire that, barring any unexpected intervention, he might not survive long enough for his mother and the others to find him.
However, as the saying goes, “Fortune favors the brave.” Perhaps even the heavens did not wish to see a peerless genius perish. Just at this most perilous mont, soone finally broke through the accumulating danger.
“Thump, thump, thump…” A series of small impacts echoed on the quiet street as a fist-sized ball bounced over from a distance and finally collided with Ye Fei’s leg.
At this point, Ye Fei had almost lost his ability to think, but his instincts were still intact.
After being hit by the ball, he subconsciously looked up in the direction it had co from. He saw a little girl, around four or five years old, running towards him, clearly intending to retrieve the ball that had stopped at Ye Fei’s feet.
“Nuan Nuan, don’t go over there!” An elderly woman in her sixties or seventies chased after the little girl and firmly grabbed her.
Although she couldn’t quite articulate why, she felt an overwhelming sense of danger, especially from the man sitting motionlessly there.
She instinctively felt that if her granddaughter approached him, she might lose her life.
“Grandma, my ball,” the little girl struggled, clearly very fond of the ordinary ball.
The old woman turned her head and saw that the man, who had been sitting with his head down, had now turned to look at them.
The man’s face was sowhat pale, but his features were incredibly handso—arguably the most attractive man she had seen in her sixty-plus years of life. Moreover, she felt that the man seed familiar, though she couldn’t quite place where she had seen him before.
However, even so, the instinctive fear did not dissipate in the slightest; instead, it grew even stronger, giving her an overwhelming urge to pick up her granddaughter and run away.
Yet, the child’s longing restrained the old woman’s impulse. Instead of fleeing, she let go of her granddaughter and slowly approached Ye Fei.
This was an ordinary scene, but to Ye Fei, who was barely holding on to a thread of rationality, it caused a trendous shock.
Though he didn’t know why, Ye Fei could tell that the old woman was terrified of him, a fear that was akin to the dread of death. Yet, despite this, she endured the fear for the sake of her granddaughter and walked towards him.
In that mont, Ye Fei couldn’t help but ask himself: if it were Ye Liuer or any of his other daughters who wanted sothing, would he be willing to risk his life to get it for them, just like this old woman?
The answer was self-evident.
To be honest, the little girl, with her big nose, wide mouth, and small eyes, was far from as pretty and adorable as Ye Fei’s daughters. But in the old woman’s heart, she was more precious than anything else. So, what were Ye Fei’s treasures?
In an instant, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, jolting the bewildered Ye Fei back to his senses.
