Xiao Ya was completely dumbstruck the moment she saw Ye Chen.
She clearly remembered that Ye Chen was still in the car when she got out of the car. She had done anti-surveillance along the way, but she did not see anyone following them.
Why was Ye Chen here?
"Nini, who is he?" Wu Tashan glanced at Ye Chen with a grim expression.
Xiao Ya suppressed the shock within her and explained, "Tashan, his name is Ye Chen. He's my classmate from the outside world. Don't hurt him."
"Aunty Xiao." Mengmeng, who was in Ye Chen's embrace, waved happily when she saw her.
Just when Wu Tashan was going to speak, his expression changed. "Oh, no. The worm that I left behind has been destroyed. That Li guy is catching up."
Although he was from the White Miao tribe, he knew gu. He had left many snake gu behind when he was running earlier, but he had lost contact with those snake gu now.
Xiao Ya's pretty face changed slightly. She could not stop urging Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, run with your daughter now. Don't follow us, or we'll drag you down."
"I can't be bothered anymore. Let this brat fend for himself." Wu Tashan clenched his teeth and glanced at Xiao Ya coldly. He was about to leave while carrying her.
To him, so what if Ye Chen was really Xiao Ya's classmate? He could not be more important than Xiao Ya.
"Run? Why should I run? "
Ye Chen suddenly took a step forward and lifted his eyes to smile at Xiao Ya.
"Brat, get lost if you want to die. Don't block our way." Wu Tashan was enraged. He had the intention to kill Ye Chen at that moment.
Ye Chen enunciated word for word while looking at Xiao Ya while carrying the little girl, "If I'm not mistaken, you put gu in the two bottles of drinks that you bought for us earlier, didn't you?"
"H-how did you know?" Xiao Ya panicked. She looked at Ye Chen in disbelief with her beautiful eyes wide open.
Ye Chen said calmly, "Not only that, it's a puppet gu. If such a gu enters a regular person's body, they'll lose their mind gradually within the time it takes to burn a joss stick. They might even lose control of their body. Everything they say and do will be controlled by the person who put the gu in."
"Ye Chen, I-I'm the same …"
Xiao Ya covered her mouth immediately. She was shocked. At the same time, she felt intense guilt.
"I know you were forced!"
Ye Chen smiled lightly. "If you really wanted to harm us, you definitely wouldn't have pretended that you sprained your ankle and knocked over my drink. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the person who cast the gu was your bodyguard. Of course, he might not be your bodyguard."
Xiao Ya stared at him blankly. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she couldn't understand this former classmate of hers.
What she didn't know was.
Even if Ye Chen really drank the Mai Dong with the gu, he would still be fine. How could a dignified Heavenly Emperor be controlled by a mere gu?
Naturally, if that were the case, Ye Chen would be disappointed in Xiao Ya. He might even want to kill her. After all, he could not tolerate anyone hurting him.
The result was clear. Xiao Ya passed the test and saved her life.
Ye Chen remained calm as he said slowly, "Therefore, seeing that you can't bear to hurt us, I'm here. With me around, nobody can hurt you!"
"What … What did you say?" Xiao Ya was stunned. She thought she heard it wrong.
"You're just an ordinary person?"
Wu Tashan scoffed. "Do you know who's coming after us? He's from the Black Miao Village's Li family. He's an expert in casting gu and he's an Internal Energy martial artist. "
"So what?" Ye Chen smiled calmly.
"Nini, I suspect that there's something wrong with your classmate's head. Ignore him. Let's go!"
Wu Tashan carried Xiao Ya and was about to leave after saying that.
"Pfft, pfft …"
At the same time, hurried footsteps came from behind.
"Oh no, that Li guy is coming after us!"
Wu Tashan's expression changed drastically. His eyes were filled with killing intent when he turned to look at Ye Chen. "It's all this brat's fault. If he didn't stop us and waste so much time, that Li guy wouldn't have caught up to us!"
Despair flashed through Xiao Ya's face. "Tashan, go. Take Ye Chen with you. You must take the father and daughter with you. I'm begging you."
She could not bear to let Ye Chen and Wu Tashan die with her, so she was ready to stay and buy time.
"No, I didn't have the ability to protect you 15 years ago. I watched you fall into the pit of hell. We'll die together if we die!" Wu Tashan forced a smile and put Xiao Ya down.
Ye Chen said while smiling, "Don't be afraid …"
"Shut up!"
Wu Tashan glared at him ferociously. He was dying to slap Ye Chen.
However, since it had happened, it would be futile no matter what he did. He could only accept his fate.
"Daddy, this uncle is so fierce." Meng Meng was shocked. She retreated into Ye Chen's embrace by instinct.
A silhouette appeared in the mist.
It was Li Yuan.
"Why aren't you guys running? Why aren't you running anymore? "Li Yuan looked at Wu Tashan and Xiao Ya with a wry smile like a cat playing with a mouse.
Subsequently, he saw Ye Chen and the smile on his face was getting brighter. "I was going to look for you and your daughter. I can't believe that you guys are together. I've searched far and wide for you, only to find you before I even looked for you."
"I'll beat you up! I'll beat you up! You're a baddie!" The little girl could not stop waving her little fists at him. There was no fear on her face at all.
"You're really something, Tashan. First, you said that the four powerhouses of the White Miao Village are going to attack me to confuse me. Now, you're using the fake Hallucinogenic Smoke to confuse me."
Uncle Li was getting closer and was proud of himself. "Unfortunately, everything you've done is futile in front of true ability. Accept your fate!"
"Li Yuan, do you really think that I, Tashan, haven't improved over the past few years? Don't force me to die with you. "Wu Tashan clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. Rage filled his face.
Xiao Ya stood before Ye Chen and his daughter by instinct. She said to Uncle Li with determination written all over her face, "Let them go. I'll go with you. Otherwise, I'll die in front of you right now."
"How dare you threaten me?"
Uncle Li scoffed. "If you dare to die, I guarantee that nobody here will live."
Bang!
As a loud thud came, Wu Tashan attacked first. He threw a punch that was so fast that it was hard to capture. It was going straight for Uncle Li's face.
"You're showing off in front of an expert!"
Uncle Li smiled instead of being mad. He waved his sleeve and black smoke came out. Wu Tashan was caught off guard and touched the black smoke. The black smoke turned into countless centipedes that crawled on his body.
Wu Tashan shrieked and fell onto the ground. His body could not stop twitching as the centipedes on his body bit him.
"D-don't kill him!"
"I'm begging you. I'll go with you as long as you don't kill him!"
Xiao Ya's pretty face turned pale and she knelt onto the ground immediately.
Uncle Li waved his long sleeve again, and the gu on Wu Tashan's body disappeared. He turned around and looked at Ye Chen with a wry smile. "Brat, come with me if you don't want to suffer."
"Ye Chen, I-I'm sorry. I-it's all my fault." Xiao Ya could not stop shaking. She was clearly in extreme despair.
However, Ye Chen smirked.
"What if I say no?"
