Chapter 55: Gentle Little Flame (Part 2)

  The river surface is covered with some aquatic plants, some with broad leaves and others as thin as silk threads, stretching out in a vast expanse on the water's surface, transforming the river into a strange grassland in this dark night. The surrounding environment has a mysterious flavor, occasionally hearing a few autumn frogs' residual sounds and night owls' calls.

  There are some shrubs growing quite luxuriantly by the riverbank, with thick leaves weighing down the branches and dipping into the silent water.

  Yitian slowly emerged from the layered duckweed on the water's surface, blowing away the leaf debris from his lips. He used his hand to pull open the reeds above his head and quietly crawled up onto the shore.

  He lowered his body to the extreme, because in his spiritual consciousness, he always felt a dark and evil aura not far away, searching for himself. For some reason, he firmly believed that the woman named Qin Zi would not want to put herself to death, but from this aura, he sensed a hint of murderous intent. And at this time, although he had some understanding of Buddhism, the injuries in his body were still not healed, so naturally, he did not dare to provoke this unknown enemy.

  Under the cover of night, he climbed ashore and sprinted along the deserted riverbank embankment in a direction opposite to that eerie aura.

  He didn't know how long he had been running when he finally saw other sources of light apart from the stars in the sky.

  Quietly approaching near, it turned out to be a farmhouse.

  He didn't know where he was at this time, but after looking at his smooth body, he couldn't help but frown. He lightly exerted force with his toes and his whole person floated lightly into the farmhouse.

  Many farmhouses have dogs, and it's natural to guard against livestock. As soon as he landed, he felt a fierce dog rushing towards him from behind, growling in a low voice.

  His fingertips swiftly extended, incredibly fast yet incredibly accurate, lightly tapping on the dog's nose. A spark of fire burst from his fingertips, and the dog let out a mournful howl, retreating in disarray, watching Yi Tianxing from a distance, but no longer daring to bark, its eyes filled with fear towards this little thief who could spit fire.

  Yitianxing shook his hands, wanting to shake off the wet feeling of touching the dog's nose. As he walked into the courtyard, he was delighted to find that there were indeed a few clothes on the large bamboo pole in the courtyard.

  He casually picked it up and put it on himself, then turned over and left the hospital, walking towards the place where the lights were more prosperous in the distant night sky.

  It wasn't until they walked into the area with the most lights that they realized it was a small town.

  He looked at his ash-covered Zhongshan suit and couldn't help but laugh, found a store, politely begged the boss to make a phone call.

  He called Yuan Ye.

  "Are you busy?"

  "No, Third Young Master, what's going on? It's so late." Yuan Ye's voice was somewhat surprised.

  Yitianxing thought for a moment and said: "I've got something going on, can you come pick me up?"

  Yuan Ye heard that something had happened to him, and his nerves tensed up all over. He lowered his voice and asked, "How is he?"

  "It's nothing." Yi Tian said with a smile, "I'm still full of energy. It's just that I've been having some trouble going back to school these past few days, so I was wondering if you know any good places to hide out for a bit."

  Yuan Ye had always seen Yi Tianxing with a carefree and nonchalant expression whenever they met, but this time, hearing him say "nothing's wrong" in a light tone, he knew that something big must have happened. So, he also stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Where are you?"

  Yitianxing asked the shop owner and only then did he realize that he had walked randomly at the bottom of the river and ended up in a town called Longquanyi in the eastern suburbs of the provincial capital.

  "Longquanyi? Alright, I'll be right there. Sorry to keep you waiting, young master." Yuen Ye replied.

  Yi Tianxing suddenly said: "Be careful, don't let others see you."

  "Yes."

  After about forty minutes, Yuan Ye drove a domestic car into the town. Yi Tianxing watched him from afar and shook his head. He pretended to be passing by and didn't stay, so he drove the car out of the town.

  Yitian Xing thanked the shop owner a thousand times, and after deducting the cost of the old Zhongshan suit he had stolen to pay for the phone call, he slowly walked out of town along the shadows.

  In the woods outside the town.

  Yi Tian Xing smiled as he looked at Yuan Ye by the car and said: "It's so late to drag you out, I'm really sorry."

  Yuan Ye looked him up and down before asking cautiously, "What's going on? You're being so careful."

  Yi Tian Xing furrowed his brow, thinking that it wasn't necessary to tell him about such an abstruse matter for the past three days. To make him believe would require a lot of effort, so he said lightly: "Things are a bit complicated and can't be explained clearly at the moment. In short, I was set up this afternoon and now I feel like someone wants to kill me."

  "What kind of person has the guts to do this?" Yuan Ye's normally gentle face finally revealed the fierce and sinister aura that was hidden beneath, "Hand over the name of the person responsible, young master, I'll make sure he doesn't live past tonight."

  Yi Tian Xing jumped in fright, then laughed and said: "Don't be so dramatic, it's not a matter of life and death." He patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "You can't help with this matter, I'll handle it myself."

  Yuan Ye frowned and said, "In this provincial capital, Young Master, you can't just reduce your own prestige. If we say that our Gu family still has something that can't be settled in the provincial capital, apart from the government, who else is there?"

  Yi Tian thought to himself, "How can I tell him that a demigod wants to capture me?" He smiled and said: "This matter will be handled later, and naturally, I'll let you know. The reason I asked you to come today is mainly because I'm still unclear about the other party's intentions, so it's temporarily inconvenient for me to return to school. I was thinking of having you take me to a safe place."

  Since he didn't say anything, Yuan Ye naturally didn't dare ask further and respectfully said: "If you can't go back to school, then Young Master might as well return to the company."

  Yi Tian Xing smiled bitterly and thought that going back to the company would make a group of underworld figures become cannon fodder in the cultivation world, shaking his head repeatedly.

  Yuan Ye thought for a moment and said, "Alright, young master get on the carriage, I'll take you to a place."

  Yi Tian Xing suddenly felt that the yin evil aura was closer to this small town, and couldn't help but frown slightly. His body's Heart Sutra urged him on, vaguely capturing the opponent's divine sense...

  "Is there a place on the west side of the provincial city?" he suddenly asked.

  "It's in the west of the city."
