Worm Sect.
"Thank you for these days," Ye Shikai said with a smile to the woman behind him as he picked up a simple set of luggage.
"If you want to thank soone, thank that old man Dugu. If it weren’t for his repeated protection, I wouldn’t have been willing to treat you," the woman coldly said as she rolled her eyes.
"No matter what, thank you anyway." After so many days of treatnt, Ye Shikai deeply felt his body’s improvent and even gained an extra two weeks to find the person who had used the poisonous insect on him.
"It’s surprising that not only is the Worm Sect skilled in worm techniques, but its dical skills are also superb."
"Ha ha, kid, actually, these dicines were given to by Dugu. To suppress the worms inside your body, both worm skills and dical skills are indispensable."
"Hmm, thanks anyway." Ye Shikai was sowhat surprised to realize that Dugu Tianke had helped him so much. It was said that the Divine Doctor’s treatnt depends on fate, and now Ye Shikai wondered if he might be a noble person in his life.
"Stinky boy, you’ve been freeloading here for so many days, hurry up and get back," the woman complained.
"Yes, yes, you are the female Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, busy with nurous tasks, thank you very much." Ye Shikai smiled helplessly. No matter the identity, once a woman becos unreasonable, it’s all nonsense; weren’t all those days spent chopping wood and carrying water for nothing?
"By the way, can you tell your na now?" Ye Shikai paused, his smile fading as he asked softly.
"Wuyan."
"What, Wuyan?" Ye Shikai was initially stunned, then curious, "Is this... your na?"
"Yes." The woman nodded. Ye Shikai was curious, never expecting soone to have that na. Wuyan, not speaking, or having nothing to say, this did not match the woman’s temperant. From their days together, Ye Shikai found her to be an extrely talkative chatterbox.
"Okay, Wuyan, I’ll be leaving then." Ye Shikai nodded and showed a friendly smile.
"Wait." Just as Ye Shikai turned to leave, a voice suddenly ca from behind him.
"Is there sothing else?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.
"Let give you a few words that might help you." Wuyan hesitated for a mont before speaking.
"Go ahead."
"In matters of hesitation, think thrice before acting; in matters of feelings, when it’s ti to cut off, just cut off."
Ye Shikai was initially stunned, then nodded. He understood Wuyan’s aning. The Single Love Poisonous Insect is actually a "human-caused disaster", and moreover, a disaster caused by emotions. Because of this, Ye Shikai had roughly guessed who the caster of the worm was. This return to Yanjing, rather than saying he’s going to remove the "Single Love Poisonous Insect", it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he’s handling emotional accidents.
When Ye Shikai ca out, Ghost imdiately sent soone to pick him up, but what made Ye Shikai curious this ti was that Ji Qian didn’t co over, and her presence was nowhere to be found in the entire camp.
"Where is the Moon God?"
"Lord Moon God... She returned a few days ago, asking us to wait here," Ghost said sowhat awkwardly, not knowing how to explain the situation.
"What, she left." Ye Shikai was sowhat shocked, "Did sothing happen at the Moon God Temple?"
"That... I’m not sure, she left in a hurry and didn’t leave anything behind," Ghost continued.
"Well, I’ll ask her myself so other day," Ye Shikai said helplessly, shaking his head as the words spoken by Wuyan earlier echoed in his ears.

Yanjing.
With Ye Shikai’s return, the Netherworld Palace’s base in Yanjing finally seed to have regained so "vitality". Indeed, during the ti Short-nosed Crocodile was healing from serious injuries, relying solely on Wild Wolf and Jeddon was indeed struggling, as Ailina, although in Tianya Group’s public relations departnt, was arranged by Ye Shikai for the close protection of Su Qingyu’s safety and thus generally did not participate in the base’s operations.
"Sir." Jeddon bowed respectfully, Ye Shikai glanced around at the sowhat sparse base, feeling a bit lancholic. But now it was fine, the others back from Yun City would just replenish the Hidden Guard’s ranks.
"Sir, not only did Lord Moon God leave, she also withdrew all the Moon Guards," Jeddon reported to Ye Shikai at this ti.
"What, what exactly is going on," Ye Shikai sensed sothing was amiss. The Moon Guards were elite experts from the Moon God Temple, so of whom were stationed at the Netherworld Palace’s base. If it wasn’t sothing major, why would the Moon Guards be withdrawn?
"I’m investigating."
"Never mind, I’ll ask her myself," Ye Shikai shook his head and walked into the office, directly dialing Ji Qian’s number.
"Hello." The call connected after three seconds.
"You’re out." Before Ye Shikai could speak, Ji Qian’s cold voice ca through the phone.
"Yes, I just left the Worm Sect," Ye Shikai responded calmly.
"How do you feel?"
"Not bad, the treatnt was very effective, but I still need to find the person who cast the worm to completely remove the worm," Ye Shikai continued.
"Do... do you need to co back and help you?"
"No need, I can handle it," Ye Shikai smiled faintly, as if discussing a simple matter.
"Then... take care of your health."
"Yes."
Ye Shikai hung up the phone, from beginning to end, he hadn’t asked why Ji Qian left without saying goodbye. Perhaps, after hearing her tone on the phone, he had already understood why.
Just now, Ji Qian had nearly cried out, her nasal voice thick and her crying tone heavy. In Ye Shikai’s mory, every ti Ji Qian cried, it was for him. What about this ti...
Ye Shikai lit a cigarette and slowly took a draw. The nicotine stimulated his brain, suddenly clarifying his thoughts. What exactly had happened outside during these days at the Worm Sect was unknown to anyone, but Ye Shikai had already guessed it; Wuyan, who always ca punctually to treat him with acupuncture, had uncharacteristically arrived half an hour late.
.....................
Half an hour later, Ye Shikai’s mood also recovered, just as Wuyan had said, sotis, one shouldn’t dwell on things too much.
"Dingling ling." At that mont, a telephone ringtone went off, Ye Shikai took out his phone, seeing the caller ID, a bad premonition surged in his heart.
"Hello."
"Damn Ye Shikai, where the hell have you been?" A roaring voice ca through the phone, Ye Shikai could feel the anger of the person on the other end even through the screen.
That’s right, it was the furious cop, Zhang Ting.
"You damn fool, you promised to help , and now your phone has been off for days. You deceitful liar."
"Alright, alright, Mada, I really had an ergency," Ye Shikai quickly explained, "I was out healing these past few days."
