Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 487: Chapter 488 After all, that person has lived for over a hundred years. Chapter 487: Chapter 488 After all, that person has lived for over a hundred years. He hesitated, his face etched with concern.

Qi Yue noticed his unease and couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency.

“What’s wrong, just say it!”

Zhao Xiyan gently unfolded his sleeves, as if he had made up his mind, and then he spoke.

“… I don’t know if it’s because there’s been too much happening lately, but I’ve dreamt of father and mother several times. There’s a persistent discomfort in my heart, as if something is about to happen… That’s why I wanted Yueyue to go and check…”

Almost without thinking, Qi Yue stepped forward and embraced Zhao Xiyan.

“Husband, don’t worry. As soon as Shen Gong’s matter is settled, I’ll go see mother…”

“No,” Zhao Xiyan interrupted her, his tone urgent, “as soon as Yunzhu arrives, you must go! I’ll have him escort you.”

“…” Qi Yue felt puzzled.

“Husband, this isn’t like you. Usually, you come up with so many excuses when I want to go somewhere. But now you’re urging me to leave?!”

Zhao Xiyan seemed to have anticipated Qi Yue’s response and immediately grasped her shoulders, looking intently into her eyes.

“Yueyue, I don’t want you to leave either, but lately, my heart has been filled with restlessness… You know, the place where mother and father live is not far from Yao City. I’m worried that Zhou Fengye might discover them…”

Hearing this, Qi Yue started to feel nervous as well.

Youyun Mountain is, after all, not completely isolated from the world.

There was no guarantee that news wouldn’t spread out.

If Zhou Fengye, out of desperation, considered targeting Zhao Yongzhe and Shen Yu and secretly sent someone up the mountain to do something, the Black Feather Guard wouldn’t be able to provide immediate help!

Although Zhao Xiyan was distant with others, he highly valued family affection.

If his bad premonition was about Shen Yu or Zhao Yongzhe, and something really happened to them,

the consequences would be severe.

With this in mind, all of Qi Yue’s doubts were instantly dispelled.

“You are right, husband. I should hurry and pay them a visit.”

She thought for a moment, then promptly said, “Then, let’s do this: tonight, let’s see what is at the bottom of the sea, and afterwards, we’ll come up with a plan. It should only take about two or three days; then I’ll head over, how does that sound?”

“That’ll do,” Zhao Xiyan replied reluctantly. “Regardless of whether we have a solution by then, you must go after three days.”

“Don’t worry. Once I’m sure everything here is absolutely safe, I’ll go see mother and father. Is that okay?”

Seeing that Zhao Xiyan still seemed eager to press the matter, Qi Yue teasingly said, “Oh dear, I know you’re anxious, but I can’t bear to leave you, that’s all!”

Upon hearing this, a smile came to Zhao Xiyan’s lips.

“Then stay an extra day.”

Later, Zhao Xiyan mentioned that he had already sent the Black Feather Guard to bring Huang Zai’an back to accompany her to Youyun Mountain.

Firstly, having the old playful Huang Zai’an around would make Qi Yue a bit happier. Secondly, the two of them together could discuss how to rescue Song Gensheng.

“This time when you go, stay with mother for a few extra days. She misses you terribly.”

His words were true.

Qi Yue considered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

At this time, Qi Yue did not know that Zhao Xiyan’s true purpose for having her go to Fuyun Mountain was not to visit Shen Yu but to keep her out of the impending conflict.

In the evening, Qi Yue went to the space to retrieve the elemental detection device and explained to Qingzhu and Hei Lie how to use it, with Zhao Xiyan listening nearby.

Qingzhu, quick-witted as ever, understood after one explanation, but Hei Lie was thoroughly confused.

This frustrated Qi Yue a lot.

“How is it that you can train so well in martial arts, but you can’t understand this simple thing!”

“Master, this thing is too unfamiliar, I really can’t grasp it,” Hei Lie scratched his head repeatedly.

Suddenly, Zhao Xiyan spoke up.

“Yueyue, Hei Lie doesn’t need to go underwater. He must stay to protect you. Until Yunzhu arrives, we have to be extra cautious. Qingzhu and I will be enough.”

Qi Yue glanced at Hei Lie; there was nothing she could do except to agree.

That night, Zhao Xiyan and Qingzhu set out with two sets of diving suits.

Before leaving, just like the previous few times, Zhao Xiyan watched her enter the space and disappear.

But afterward, he did not immediately head to the seaside, but instead went to another room.

In the room, Hei Lie was fiddling with an elemental detector non-stop, a look of amazement on his face.

“This thing is truly magical, the master is indeed a divine being!”

Qingzhu glanced at him.

“You better not let the master find out you’ve learned it, or else…”

Hei Lie hurriedly put the device aside and said cautiously, “You’re right, it’s better to be careful.”

As they were talking, Zhao Xiyan pushed the door and entered. The two immediately fell silent and stood respectfully to the side.

“Marquis!”

Zhao Xiyan looked at Hei Lie and sat down in the only seat in the room.

“After this, you will follow the lady to Youyun Mountain, knowing too much can easily show on your face.”

Hei Lie lifted his head, took a quick glance at Zhao Xiyan, then quickly lowered it again.

“Yes, Marquis. This subordinate will definitely not let the master realize anything!”

Zhao Xiyan, however, shook his head.

“You just need to speak normally, thinking too hard is actually worse.”

“Yes, Marquis.”

Zhao Xiyan then looked at Qingzhu, his expression gradually becoming more serious.

“Do everything as I have instructed before, without revealing a single flaw; did you all remember that?”

“We remembered!”

Hei Lie responded immediately, but Qingzhu seemed somewhat hesitant.

“Marquis, if it’s truly Huangfu Nan backing Shen Gong, allowing him to wreak havoc, we should let the master know. Maybe the master will have a solution!”

“She mustn’t know!” Zhao Xiyan’s beautiful face took on an extra layer of frost.

“If my suspicions are true, then everything Huangfu Nan has said and done before is false. Now that I’ve entered their net, I absolutely cannot involve the lady as well.”

“But…” Qingzhu’s lips moved, yet in the end, he did not speak further.

For over a decade, except for those three years where he acted as a shadow running Rishengchang, most of the time he was with Zhao Xiyan either openly or in secret.

He watched with his own eyes as Zhao Xiyan turned into a completely different person—a clearly more humane person—for Qi Yue.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Qi Yue was like his life.

The situation was now critical, and it was still unclear what Huangfu Nan’s true intentions were.

If the truth was as they suspected, they all were going to die.

As someone trained by Huangfu Nan, he understood the old man all too well.

Cunning, mysterious, powerful…

This kind of danger was something that even Zhao Xiyan found challenging to control.

After all, the man had lived for more than a hundred years.

Even a fool practicing the same martial arts for over a hundred years would be beyond human capacity to contend with.

In such a situation, Zhao Xiyan would never allow Qi Yue to stay here; instead, he would think of every possible way to send her away.

“If you’ve all remembered, then let’s set out!” Zhao Xiyan’s warning gaze fell on his face, and Qingzhu was jolted with alarm.

“Yes, Marquis. Your subordinate will never defy the Marquis’s command!”
