Chapter 64 Part 2

“Yi Ge!”

Liu Shengqing panicked. He had said some nonsense to Yu Qingxian a few days ago. If he left now, Yu Qingxian might badmouth him in front of Yi Ge… Also, he needed to explain knocking Yu Qingxian out, or else Yi Ge would think this illegitimate son was greedy and even plotting against the legitimate heir?

The thought of revealing his identity had suddenly occurred to Liu Shengqing, but he hadn’t anticipated so much trouble afterward… It was also because his intentions hadn’t been pure before, and his actions had raised suspicions, leading him to panic.

Yu Zhensheng, of course, wouldn’t let him disturb his brother. “Mr. Liu, please leave. My brother needs rest and has no energy to entertain guests.”

Ouyang Yuyuan: “He’s nothing but an outsider. This outsider even knocked out Cousin Xian… He gets uneasy just seeing you. Who knows if it’s psychological trauma?”

With every “outsider,” Liu Shengqing trembled with rage. He was family too, with Yu Family blood running through his veins!

Yu Zhensheng paid him no mind and raised a hand to summon the bodyguards. Unwilling to be dragged out so humiliatingly, Liu Shengqing left in a huff.

Ouyang Yuyuan glanced at the two in the inner room, then at Big Cousin beside him. His eyes darted as he grabbed Yu Zhensheng’s arm. “Big Cousin, what’s the deal with that Liu Shengqing? I only heard he knocked out Cousin Xian. How did he turn out to be Uncle’s illegitimate son?”

“…” What kind of person was Yu Zhensheng? How could he not see through this little ploy?

But thinking the two inside did need to talk, he took Ouyang Yuyuan and Young Master Fu to the adjacent lounge and patiently explained.

“That Liu Shengqing is too despicable. How does he have the face to show up?” Ouyang Yuyuan fumed after hearing it.

Yu Zhensheng neither confirmed nor denied it. Seeing Fu Huaiyan staring longingly at the barley tea Canteen nearby, he personally poured him a cup. “Young Master Fu, have some tea.”

Though Fu Huaiyan was mentally regressed, his wariness remained high. He shrank behind Ouyang Yuyuan, halting Yu Zhensheng’s gesture. “Didn’t you find the antidote? Why is Young Master Fu still like this?”

Ouyang Yuyuan gave an awkward smile. “Yi Ge hasn’t had time, and we didn’t trust sending others to the Fu Family, so I brought him along again.”

The Fu Family bodyguards were still downstairs.

Yu Zhensheng didn’t press and handed the cup to Ouyang Yuyuan instead. “I heard you haven’t been very nice to Young Master Fu?”

Ouyang Yuyuan’s heart skipped a beat. “Who did Big Cousin hear that from? No such thing! If I treated Young Master Fu poorly, would he follow me obediently… Right, Young Master Fu?”

Fu Huaiyan blinked, as if not understanding he was being addressed.

“Hey, Young Master Fu~~” That’s you!

Ouyang Yuyuan pushed the cup toward him. While Big Cousin wasn’t looking, he shot a fierce glare. “Be good and drink your tea.”

When Ouyang Yuyuan was in a good mood, he called him Yanyan, Fu Huaiyan, or big dummy—never Young Master Fu. Fu Huaiyan’s mind wasn’t clear at the moment. Seeing Ouyang Yuyuan anxious, he shrank back aggrievedly. “Yuan… Daddy.”

Previously, when Yuanyuan was mad at him, calling this made him happy.

Ouyang Yuyuan: “…”

Yu Zhensheng’s face darkened. “A’Yuan!”

Ouyang Yuyuan instantly wilted. “Whimper… I was just joking with him, not serious…”

Yu Zhensheng sighed. “I know taking care of Young Master Fu has been tough on you lately. But Fu Huaiyan isn’t ordinary. Before this happened, even I had to treat him with respect. If you keep acting like this and he remembers after recovering…”

Ouyang Yuyuan pouted. “Worst case, I’ll apologize to him. I even called him Daddy— that should suffice, right?”

He had Yi Ge anyway; what was there to fear!

Yu Zhensheng frowned, about to press the lesson further, when Chu Yi suddenly emerged from the inner room.

“So soon?” Ouyang Yuyuan muttered softly. He had thought with Yi Ge rushing back so urgently, true feelings forged in adversity with Cousin Xian would mean they’d be inseparable for at least ten minutes. How had he come out so quickly?

“Big Brother Yu.” Chu Yi had composed himself and greeted calmly.

Yu Zhensheng glanced behind him. “How’s Little Xian?”

“He’s fine…” Chu Yi paused. “I mean, his body is fine, but lately he’s been experiencing Soul Leaving Body without apparent cause. It seems like Soul Separation Syndrome… Before I left the capital, I made him a Jade Thumb Ring to stabilize his Divine Soul, but the effect seems limited.”

“What, Soul Separation Syndrome?” Yu Zhensheng was shocked. He hadn’t known until now!

No wonder his brother had been unconscious for three straight days with nothing showing up in hospital tests. They had been misled by Liu Shengqing knocking him out and hadn’t considered other factors.

But Liu Shengqing wasn’t innocent either—hitting Little Xian and causing a head injury was fact, and he had fled afterward…

“Yeah. If Big Brother Yu has connections, it’d be best to have an expert check him. I’ll also ask Director Wu to keep an eye out.”

Ouyang Yuyuan grew anxious. “Yi Ge, even you with your skills can’t cure Cousin Xian?”

Chu Yi: “…” It wasn’t that he couldn’t cure it; it was inconvenient. He felt like he’d only make it worse.

Just now inside, they hadn’t said much. He had taken Yu Qingxian’s pulse and casually asked for his Birth Chart… As expected, he couldn’t divine anything.

Moreover, he suddenly realized that before each of President Yu’s incidents, he hadn’t noticed any anomalies in his physiognomy.

In such cases, either his birth chart was special, or their entanglement had deepened to the point where he lost the ability to divine for him.

Chu Yi now suspected Yu Qingxian had fallen victim to some scheme—forcing a binding between them to use his Fate Pattern to kill the other without suffering Karmic Backlash…
