After Huang Ziqiong obediently zipped her mouth, Shen Ye looked at her appreciatively and said, “I believe what you said. If Yan Yunqing had chosen her boyfriend over the check at that time, you wouldn’t have really forced her. After all, you are so sensible. But as Yan Yunqing said, you went to her aggressively with bodyguards, and the Huang family has power and influence. How could she know your intentions? You even threatened to harm her family members, and she chose the check to protect her family. In the end, it’s still your fault!”

Huang Ziqiong timidly buried her face in her mother’s shoulder, not daring to speak again.

Yan Yunqing listened to Shen Ye’s accusation against Huang Ziqiong and couldn’t help tears welling up in her eyes.

Yes, it was because she feared for her family being targeted by Huang Ziqiong that she chose the check. And she was angry at Huang Ziqiong’s domineering and bullying behavior, unable to swallow her pride, which led her to seek revenge using Doctor Liu.

Although she shouldn’t have used Doctor Liu, Huang Ziqiong was the main culprit!

Shen Ye glanced at Yan Yunqing and knew what she was thinking. He decided to address her last.

He turned to Doctor Liu and said, “In this matter, you were used by Yan Yunqing, so you are indeed a victim. But you also bear responsibility for turning Huang Ziqiong into a ghostly state.”

Upon hearing these words, Huang Ziqiong lifted her head from her mother’s shoulder and glared at Doctor Liu with intense hostility. “I’ve never loved anyone so sincerely in my life. I even wanted to bring you home to meet my parents and marry you… But you not only deceived my feelings but also tried to kill me… Go to hell, scum!”

What angered her the most was the deception of her feelings.

If Doctor Liu had sought revenge on behalf of Yan Yunqing, she could have accepted it. But Doctor Liu shouldn’t have played with her feelings for the sake of revenge.

Doctor Liu had already been devastated by Yan Yunqing’s revelation. Even when questioned by Shen Ye and verbally abused by Huang Ziqiong, he remained silent.

Shen Ye had initially wanted to say a few more cutting words to him, but seeing his despondent appearance, he shook his head and spared him for the time being.

“Now let’s talk about your issue.” Shen Ye looked at Yan Yunqing one last time and said, “It’s true that Huang Ziqiong wronged you in the beginning, and I understand your desire for revenge. But it was definitely wrong to use Doctor Liu, who is innocent. Moreover, Huang Ziqiong didn’t actually harm you, but you wanted her dead. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you have a venomous heart.”

“But… Huang Ziqiong threatened the lives of my family members… I was always terrified, afraid that she would continue to harm my family… She gave me the impression that she is ruthless…” Yan Yunqing clenched her lips, defending herself with a sense of grievance. “And if I didn’t use Doctor Liu, I wouldn’t have been able to seek revenge…”

Shen Ye sneered, “Then why are you using Dr. Liu while still maintaining a relationship with your boyfriend? Are you trying to show off your cunning? Maybe you don’t have a heart!”

Yan Yunqing bit her lip but remained silent.

Shen Ye snorted, “I see now, you don’t have a wicked heart, you have no heart at all!”

Yan Yunqing murmured, “…”

Shen Ye no longer paid attention to her and turned to Old Mr. Huang, saying, “I can cure Huang Ziqiong, but if she continues to be arrogant and threaten others, I’d rather not treat her. Let her lie in bed forever to prevent her from harming innocent people.”

Old Mr. Huang immediately promised, “I will definitely teach her a lesson. I’ll make sure someone keeps an eye on her and prevent her from doing any harm.”

“Hmm,” Shen Ye was somewhat satisfied with Old Mr. Huang’s attitude and said, “She has suffered enough during this period, consider it a lesson. As for how you three parties handle your grievances, I won’t interfere. It’s up to you to discuss.”

After venting his anger by scolding all three parties, Shen Ye was relieved.

Old Mr. Huang looked at Dr. Liu and Yan Yunqing, pondered for a while, and said, “Forget it, it was initially Ziqiong’s fault… We won’t hold the two of you responsible.”

However, among these three people, only Huang Ziqiong had gone through a near-death experience.

But since his granddaughter was the first to make a mistake and Shen Ye clearly wanted to protect those two, Old Mr. Huang couldn’t pursue the matter.

Yan Yunqing was a clever person and understood that Shen Ye was helping her and Dr. Liu.

She hesitated for a moment and said softly, “I’m sorry…”

It was unclear to whom she was apologizing, whether it was Dr. Liu or Huang Ziqiong.

No one responded.

Dr. Liu closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Huang Ziqiong and said softly, “I’m sorry…”

Then he lowered his head, not looking at Huang Ziqiong’s reaction, nor did he exchange glances with Yan Yunqing again.

Shen Ye felt no sympathy for him. He was obedient to Yan Yunqing but ruthless towards Huang Ziqiong.

“You have spiritual powers but got deceived so miserably. You truly bring shame to our cultivators,” Shen Ye didn’t hesitate to stab Dr. Liu in the heart with his words.

Dr. Liu’s expression became even more sorrowful.

“Alright, now that you have reached a consensus, I won’t waste any more words,” Shen Ye stared at Huang Laoye and said, “You promised to spare them, but don’t you dare go back on your word. Otherwise, I will come and settle the score with you.”

Old Mr. Huang hastily replied, “Rest assured, I will keep my word.”

In reality, Shen Ye wasn’t entirely sure if his approach was correct.

Fifty slaps each and then easily let them go…

Perhaps this punishment wasn’t entirely fair, but he couldn’t think of a better solution for now, so he decided on this temporarily.

He glared at Dr. Liu and Yan Yunqing again, saying, “Don’t let me catch you causing harm again, or I won’t spare you.”

Both of them replied softly.

Next, Shen Ye used his spiritual powers to alleviate Huang Ziqiong’s physical and throat pain, saying, “I’ll come to check on you tomorrow.”

Huang Ziqiong’s situation was different from the case of the Shi family. Initially, the souls of Mr. Shi’s mother and wife were separated, but their souls were intact. He saved them and returned their souls to their bodies. Then they just needed time to recover. However, Huang Ziqiong’s soul was trapped in the cemetery and suffered severe damage. Tonight, he had to help her soul adjust to her body, and he would come again tomorrow to merge her soul with the rest.

That’s why he needed to stay for an extra day.

He gave Huang Ziqiong a few talismans and said, “Carry these with you. They will help nourish your body. After forty-nine days, you will fully recover.”

In fact, these talismans were meant to nurture Huang Ziqiong’s soul.

Huang Ziqiong respectfully accepted the talismans and thanked him.

Finally done, Shen Ye held Ye Ze’s hand and acted coquettishly, “Uncle, let’s go home.”

Ye Ze held his hand tightly and nodded gently, “Alright.”

The two of them walked out hand in hand, and no one dared to stop them.

After a while, Old Mr. Huang gritted his teeth and caught up, saying, “Master Shen, it’s thanks to you that Xiao Qiong woke up… We should give you a reward…”

Shen Ye glanced at him and said, “I already discussed the price with Huang Ziyao. Let her transfer it to me when the time comes.”

Ever since Dr. Liu was brought in, Huang Ziyao had been like a mute. The complex truth had frightened her, and she still hadn’t recovered.

Upon hearing her name, Huang Ziyao finally snapped back to reality and said loudly, “Alright!”

Shen Ye: “…” Another dumbass.

In fact, Old Mr. Huang wanted to have a chat with Ye Ze and Shen Ye, to build some connections. But unfortunately, the couple showed no intention of staying, so Old Mr. Huang could only regretfully watch them get into the car.

Shen Ye lazily leaned against Ye Ze’s embrace and muttered, “So tired.”

Why did he have to not only help people with fortune-telling and problem-solving but also be responsible for handling interpersonal relationships afterward?

Ye Ze gently stroked the child’s hair.

Back at the Huangs’ residence, the child had a commanding presence, and no one dared to make a sound while he spoke. But as soon as he returned to Ye Ze’s side, he became lazy like a little kitten.

Ye Ze couldn’t help but smile.

He liked the child in any state.

He held the child in his lap and kissed the child’s lips, saying, “My little baby, you’ve worked hard.”

Shen Ye embraced Ye Ze’s neck and said, “Kiss me again.”

The man chuckled and kissed him again.

Back at the Ye residence, Ye Ze planned to discuss the trip to Qi Lian Mountain with his grandfather.

Originally, they planned to go to Qi Lian Mountain in a week. By then, Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming would have been engaged, and they could all return directly from Qi Lian Mountain to Haicheng. But the plan was moved up, so they had to rush back to attend Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming’s engagement banquet… Therefore, they had just discussed it on the way back and decided that only the two of them would go to Qi Lian Mountain, while the rest would stay in the imperial capital.

However, before Ye Ze could speak, his grandfather approached them and said, “Xiaoye, I just received some news. My old friend suddenly collapsed. Can you… help go and take a look?”

Previously, Grandfather Ye had never asked Shen Ye for help, even though he knew Shen Ye was capable. He never made such a request just because Shen Ye was his grandson-in-law to help the Ye family’s relatives.

This time, it was really critical for his old friend, who was currently undergoing treatment in the ICU. This old friend had saved his life on the battlefield, so he mustered up the courage and carefully considered it before approaching Shen Ye.

Shen Ye looked at him in surprise and said, “Grandpa, why are you being so cautious? If I go to save someone and they reward me, it’s like you’re introducing business to me. I’m so happy about it!”

Grandpa Ye was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, “Yes…”

He had overthought it, and it turned out that Xiaoye was more relaxed about it.

Grandpa Ye couldn’t help but feel grateful that he had the foresight back then and arranged for Shen Ye to be engaged to their family. His grandson had good judgment and quickly won Xiaoye over. Otherwise, with Xiaoye being such a good child, he would have surely been taken away by someone else.

Shen Ye asked, “Should Uncle and I go to the hospital now?”

Upon hearing that the situation was critical, he thought it would be best to go and check as soon as possible. Although he didn’t feel like moving after returning from the Huangs’ residence, and just wanted to be held and comforted by Ye Ze. Since it was his grandfather’s lifesaver, he definitely needed to take it seriously.

Grandpa Ye hesitated and said, “Tomorrow will do…”

He could tell that Xiaoye must be tired after going to the Huangs’ residence today. Even if Xiaoye could relieve fatigue, fortune-telling and spellcasting were still mentally and physically taxing.

However, Shen Ye smiled and said, “It’s okay. Uncle and I will leave immediately.”

Ye Ze tightly held his waist, not moving or making a sound.

Shen Ye tiptoed and kissed him, deliberately saying, “What’s wrong? I’m going to save someone, and you don’t want to come along? How unreasonable of my Uncle…”

Ye Ze pinched his tender face but remained silent.

Shen Ye shook his arm and said, “If you don’t want to come with me, I’ll take my disciples.”

Xu Ce and Mr. Wang, who were inexplicably mentioned, suddenly felt a bit flustered.

They raised their heads and saw their master’s wife silently staring at them.

Xu Ce: “…”

Wang Zong: “…”
