Chapter 27

"Are you Ye Zhen?"

With a slight gesture of her delicate hand, Ye Zhen was held in the grasp of the fairy in colorful attire, unable to move a muscle, and could not even utter a word except for the movement of his eyeballs.

"Is this the might of a true disciple? A true disciple who can deal with me as easily as dealing with an ant?" At this moment, Ye Zhen was utterly shocked.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there is only one rank difference between outer disciples and true disciples, but the gap is so vast that they don't even have the right to be mentioned in the same breath.

"Speak, are you Ye Zhen?" The fairy in colorful attire frowned, her face filled with anxiety.

Ye Zhen wanted to answer, but he was restrained by the power of the fairy in colorful attire, unable to even open his mouth. How could he answer?

Hong Bao, who had been slapped away by the fairy in colorful attire, struggled to get up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a flash of anger passed through his eyes.

As the second on the Earth List, he was well aware of the name of the true disciple, the fairy in colorful attire. Therefore, even though he had been slapped unjustly, he did not dare to show any anger. Instead, he was thinking of how to curry favor with the fairy in colorful attire, for her reputation within the Qiyun Sect was not to be underestimated.

Seeing that Ye Zhen did not answer, Hong Bao quickly replied, "Fairy in colorful attire, this bastard is Ye Zhen. You are so anxious to find him, could it be that he has done something to desecrate......"

Slap!

At that moment, a sword light descended from the sky, striking Hong Bao's face with great force. Even though the sword light was flat, the sharp sword qi still cut Hong Bao's face, leaving it bloody.

The entire person was thrown back by the immense power contained in the sword light, and as he flew backward, blood spurted from his mouth.

"If it weren't for Elder Hong, I would have crippled you just for those words!" A young man in white, with a jade crown on his head and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, suddenly descended from the sky.

"Who in the entire Qiyun Sect dares to desecrate Caiyi? Who can desecrate Caiyi?" The young man in white's eyes flashed with a fierce light, which frightened Hong Bao, who was about to curse, into closing his mouth, not daring to say another word.

"Caiyi, you have restrained him so much that he can't even open his mouth. How can he answer you?" The young man in white walked to Caiyi's side and spoke softly.

In the end, the young man in white added, "Caiyi, don't be so hasty. This boy might just be another one trying to claim a reward. In half a month, the Black Water Medicine King will return from Yizhou. At that time, I will accompany you to find the Black Water Medicine King to treat Suer."

"But, in half a month, Suer is not eating or drinking, I'm afraid she won't last until then......" As she spoke, Caiyi's eyes shimmered with moisture. At the same time, Ye Zhen felt the terrifying force that had restrained him suddenly disappear, and his body felt much lighter.

"Yes, I am Ye Zhen."

Seeing Ye Zhen speak, Caiyi's bright eyes showed a hint of joy, "You are Ye Zhen? You are the one who said you have an eighty percent chance of curing Suer (the flower fox)?"

"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded again.

"Ye Zhen, if you dare to speak nonsense and make Caiyi sad, humph!" The young man in white stepped forward and coldly snorted. The sound was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap to Ye Zhen, making him tremble all over.

"Since you have an eighty percent chance of curing Suer, tell me, what exactly is Suer's illness?" The young man in white asked.

"About this......" Ye Zhen was a bit hesitant at this moment. This matter seemed simple, but if it failed, the consequences would be unpredictable. Moreover, Ye Zhen had not seen the flower fox for a month, and he did not know if there had been any changes.

"That day, I only saw the flower fox from a distance, and I felt something was wrong. Now, it has been a month......"

"Caiyi, look, this Ye Zhen is definitely another one trying to talk his way into a reward. You must not......" The young man in white directly interrupted Ye Zhen's words.

"Senior Fan, let him finish speaking." Caiyi gently frowned.

Hearing Caiyi's address, Ye Zhen's heart was already shouting. It turned out that this young man in white was the Fan Chuyu mentioned by the sect's officer.

The Fan Chuyu who had been rebuffed while trying to curry favor with Caiyi.

"To determine what illness the flower fox has, I need to observe it carefully." To be on the safe side, Ye Zhen thought it was better to be cautious.

"Alright, I will take you to Fairy Peak."

Without giving Ye Zhen a chance to speak, Caiyi grabbed his shoulder and suddenly rose into the air, flying swiftly towards Fairy Peak.

This sudden ascent into the air made Ye Zhen jump in fright. Although he had always longed to fly freely in the sky, this was his first time actually flying.

Especially when he looked down, Ye Zhen became extremely nervous. This nervousness made him flail his arms and legs in the air, trying to find something to hold onto.

In the air, Ye Zhen had only Caiyi by his side. What could he grab onto?

After a few grabs, Ye Zhen felt his hands soften, and at the same moment, a fragrance filled his nose. His hands circled around Caiyi's waist, and his body clung tightly to hers.

Fan Chuyu, who had just risen to follow, saw this scene and clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger, "Bastard, what are you doing......"

Before Fan Chuyu's angry words could be spoken, and before Ye Zhen's first encounter could begin, it ended.

Just as Ye Zhen's hands circled around Caiyi's waist and felt her body tremble slightly, a large amount of green light surged over Caiyi's body, and Ye Zhen felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His body tingled, and Ye Zhen felt like he was about to vomit blood. His hands, which had just circled around Caiyi's waist, were numb and felt like they were not his own. The feeling he had on the ground returned.

His body tightened, and Ye Zhen became unable to move again. The wind from the rapid flight in the sky rushed into his slightly open mouth, making him feel as if he was suffocating.

In this chicken-like posture, Ye Zhen was carried by Caiyi all the way to Fairy Peak. However, Caiyi, being kind-hearted, did not throw Ye Zhen to the ground. Instead, he faced the gaze of the young man in white, Fan Chuyu, who looked as if he wanted to eat him.

Fairy Peak was where Caiyi practiced. It was said that each true disciple of the Qiyun Sect had an independent peak as their practice ground.

"This is Suer. Take a good look. For some unknown reason, a month and a half ago, Suer's temper suddenly became violent, even biting me. Later, she stopped eating and drinking. Now, Suer is like a madman, biting anyone she sees. I had no choice but to put her in a cage."

Caiyi brought over a beautifully crafted iron cage. The originally cute and pitiful flower fox was now baring its sharp teeth, roaring madly at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen calmed his mind and listened carefully.

"Boy, if you can't cure the flower fox today, I'll make you pay!" The unfriendly voice of the young man in white, Fan Chuyu, sounded.

After a while, Ye Zhen slowly straightened up, "Caiyi, I now have a seventy percent chance of knowing what caused the flower fox to become like this."

"What is it?" Caiyi asked anxiously.

"Caiyi, before I answer, I need to ask you a few questions to confirm."

"Ask away, as long as you can cure Suer, anything is fine."

"Caiyi, has the flower fox ever had this kind of behavior before?"

"Since she has been with me, never!"

"How long has the flower fox been with you? How old is she?"

"More than four years, the flower fox is four and a half years old. I found her in the back mountain more than four years ago, she seemed to have just been born, pink and plump. From the age of one, she has been very understanding and has been my companion."

"In that case, I am even more confident." Ye Zhen's eyes showed even more confidence. If he had only a seventy percent chance before, now he had a ninety-nine percent chance.

"Oh, you are sure, tell me quickly, what is the flower fox's illness?" Fan Chuyu urged, and Caiyi looked at Ye Zhen with anticipation.

"Caiyi, the flower fox is not sick, it is because......"

Halfway through his sentence, Ye Zhen suddenly stopped. Caiyi looked young and innocent, making it difficult for Ye Zhen to explain that the flower fox was in heat.

The flower fox was at the age where it needed to mate, but how could Ye Zhen bring this up?

Moreover, there was a powerful figure, the young man in white, Fan Chuyu, standing beside him.

Ye Zhen estimated that if he said the flower fox was in heat and needed to mate, the young man in white would think he was insulting Caiyi and might kill him on the spot.

The treatment of Hong Bao flashed in Ye Zhen's mind. Hong Bao had only said the word "desecrate" and was beaten up.

If Ye Zhen......

Fan Chuyu was also a true disciple of the Qiyun Sect, and he could easily kill Ye Zhen with a flick of his finger.

Ye Zhen hesitated, looking at the young man in white, Fan Chuyu, who was puzzled.

But Caiyi, who was eagerly waiting for Ye Zhen to explain, misinterpreted his hesitation as fear due to Fan Chuyu's earlier threat.

"Senior Fan, please leave Fairy Peak." Caiyi said. In fact, she was also somewhat annoyed by the constant presence of this Senior Fan.

"What?" Fan Chuyu was taken aback.

"Senior Fan, I need to treat Suer, please leave quickly!" Caiyi's expression was quite unhappy.

Fan Chuyu glanced at Ye Zhen, instantly understanding the situation, and became furious, but he suppressed his anger.

He knew Caiyi's gentle exterior but strong will, and how much she loved the flower fox. If he upset her now, she might truly hate him, and he would lose his chance.

With a hateful glance at Ye Zhen, Fan Chuyu's figure flashed, and he flew away.

Seeing Fan Chuyu fly away, Ye Zhen felt wronged. He had not intended to ask Fan Chuyu to leave.

"Ye Zhen, what is the reason? You can speak now."
