The truth is, Yang Yitian had barely finished congratulating himself on having some silver when a group of skilled beggars robbed him of all his loose change. In the end, he was left alone, hiding in a dilapidated temple, weeping bitterly!
Yang Yitian stayed in the dilapidated temple for five days, shivering from the cold every day. If Qi Zhiheng hadn't fed him a fasting pill beforehand, he would probably be a pitiful little thing, cold and hungry by now.
As a second-generation rich kid in the 21st century, Yang Yitian, while not exactly living a life of luxury with everything done for him, still had a full-time nanny at home. In his eighteen years of life, he had never suffered like this! Yang Yitian really regretted running away. The life he lived in the Qi family was even more luxurious than when he was a second-generation rich kid! Although he wanted to go back, he had already forgotten the way and could only hide in this dilapidated temple for the time being.
Yang Yitian had already discovered that the people here had strange abilities. Who knew he might suddenly become smarter and wouldn't be burned to death! He only regretted running out without figuring things out. He should have gone to that fat guy and confessed!
Outside the dilapidated temple, two hooligans were discussing where Yang Yitian should go.
Li Dazhu: "I've never seen this pair of girls before. They don't seem to have any connections. Otherwise, if we act tonight, we should be able to get a good price for them."
Zhang Erniu: "Alright, I'll go contact the slave trader in a bit! Same as always, we'll split it 50/50!"
Qi Zhiheng spent another three days refining the energy in his body. Once the fat had all disappeared, he returned to being a handsome young man. Wearing the small clothes he had prepared beforehand, Qi Zhiheng continued refining the Meridian Renewal Pill without stopping.
After Qi Zhiheng finished all these matters, he left the dark room. He scanned the room with his soul power but did not find Yang Yitian. He assumed that Yang Yitian had come to the mansion again.
Qi Zhiheng opened the door and stepped out. When the servant boy saw Qi Zhiheng come out, he rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things. How could there be a strange man coming out of the young master's room?
When he opened his eyes again, it was still the same person. He asked incredulously, "Is it...is it Young Master Heng?"
Qi Zhiheng nodded and asked, "Where did Yi Tian go?"
The page found it strange: "Young Master Yi Tian hasn't left his room these past few days." Since Qi Zhiheng had said that Yang Yi Tian had taken a fasting pill and wouldn't need to eat, drink, or relieve himself for half a month, the page hadn't found it odd that he hadn't come out. Although he also wanted to go in and check, he didn't have permission to enter the room unless someone summoned him.
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhiheng sensed something was wrong and rushed to the Qi residence, placing the Meridian Regulating Pill in Qi Zhenhe's hand: "This is a Meridian Regulating Pill for my uncle." Then he left without even touching the ground.
Qi Zhenhe was also puzzled by his son's hurried coming and going, until he learned the reason from the servant boy's words.
Fortunately, Qi Zhiheng had taken a drop of Yang Yitian's blood and dripped it onto the jade tablet beforehand. This jade tablet allowed Qi Zhiheng to sense that Yang Yitian had not encountered any danger, but how could this person have suddenly disappeared? Qi Zhiheng was completely puzzled.
They followed the direction they sensed.
Yang Yitian never expected that even hiding in a dilapidated temple would attract attention, and he was immediately subdued by two burly men! Almost everyone on the Xuanling Continent practices martial arts, so how could a weakling like Yang Yitian possibly resist?
Yang Yitian could easily see that the two men were planning to kidnap him, so he shouted for help: "There are human traffickers! Everyone come and catch the thief! Ugh..." He had only managed to shout one sentence when someone stuffed a rag into his mouth.
When Qi Zhiheng arrived, Yang Yitian was already tied up and was about to be put into a carriage and taken away.
Just when Yang Yitian was feeling hopeless, Qi Zhiheng descended from the sky and cleanly and efficiently dealt with several burly men.
Yang Yitian was mesmerized, almost captivated by his dashing demeanor. Was this... this the legendary hero saving a bear? Pshaw! He was no bear at all!
Qi Zhiheng knocked the men unconscious, picked up Yang Yitian from the ground, and removed the rag stuffed in his mouth.
Yang Yitian didn't recognize Qi Zhiheng at all when he saw him. As soon as the food in his mouth was removed, Yang Yitian exclaimed, "Hero! Those bastards are trying to kidnap people! Don't let them get away!"
Qi Zhiheng was puzzled as to why Yang Yitian could speak so fluently. Had he mistaken him for someone else? He turned Yang Yitian's face to take a closer look, wanting to confirm, but Yang Yitian's face was rather dirty, so Qi Zhiheng wiped it with his hand.
My god! Yang Yitian's heart was pounding as he was stared at by such a handsome guy! This guy even touched his face, this domineering CEO-style hug and face touch almost made this gay guy succumb! Of course, that is, assuming he was still tied up!
Yang Yitian snapped out of his daze and said through gritted teeth, "You can't do this! I have a husband!" Even though he's a big fat man!
Qi Zhiheng was completely baffled by his words and asked, "What is a husband?"
Um! It seems like the concept of a husband doesn't exist in this world, but that's not the point at all, okay?
"Great hero! Could you please untie the ropes binding me?" Yang Yitian pleaded earnestly.
Qi Zhiheng didn't act immediately. He glanced at Yang Yitian again, wondering if this person was possessed. He gathered his soul power to examine Yang Yitian's soul, and it was indeed his own soul, with no signs of possession. So what was this person's current situation?
Yang Yitian couldn't help but bleed from his nose under Qi Zhiheng's intense gaze. The handsome man's deep gaze was a fatal blow! He simply couldn't withstand it!
Qi Zhiheng frowned when he saw Yang Yitian's nosebleed: "Are you injured?" He then wiped it with his sleeve.
Yang Yitian's nose started bleeding again!
It seems he has suffered internal injuries! Qi Zhiheng quickly untied the rope to check his physical condition.
After examining the person with his soul power and finding nothing seriously wrong, he was relieved. As for why the person had become stupid, there were only two possibilities.
First, this person is not the original Yang Yitian, but a spy specially hired by the Yang family to impersonate Yang Yitian and infiltrate the Qi family!
Second, this person may have awakened memories of a past life.
He has ruled out the possibility of being possessed; his body and soul are still very compatible.
After thinking about all this, Qi Zhiheng finally had time to look at the people lying on the ground.
These are just ordinary mortals. Qi Zhiheng could tell that these people were burdened with sins, so this must not be their first time engaging in human trafficking. Among these three, the one with the least criminal record had more than a dozen lives on his hands, while the one with the most had more than thirty.
Yang Yitian asked, "Should we send these people to the authorities?"
Yang Yitian said, "No need, going to the city lord's mansion is too troublesome." He threw a few fireballs directly, and only a few screams and cries were heard before silence was heard. The people on the ground were burned to ashes.
Yang Yitian choked. This man looked so handsome and dignified, yet he killed without blinking an eye? Would he even kill him, a witness? Yang Yitian probed, "Aren't you sure you're okay with killing someone like this?"
Qi Zhiheng said, "These people are not good people. They have a lot of lives on their hands. Killing them is fine, but indiscriminate killing of innocent people will affect your state of mind!"
Yang Yitian twitched his lips. So it only affected his mood?
