Although Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi were both very concerned about the novel coronavirus outbreak, without accurate information, they couldn't make any effective response. The only thing they could do was to strengthen their personal protection.

Neither Yu Chen nor Hiromi Jounouchi had the habit of wearing masks, but after learning about the transmission of the novel coronavirus, Hiromi Jounouchi still brought a whole box of medical surgical masks, disinfectant, and medical alcohol, forcing Yu Chen to wear a mask and disinfect properly.

Even though Yu Chen's Extraordinary Physique and Hiromi Jounouchi's Dragon's Body could both ignore such viral infections, it was still inappropriate to appear too unconcerned while everyone else was taking these precautions.

So, despite his dislike for masks, at quitting time, Yu Chen put on a mask under Hiromi Jounouchi's insistence, and together they left the hospital.

On the way home, Yu Chen distinctly saw many more people wearing masks, and there were fewer pedestrians on the streets. Even though the streets of Tokyo were always bustling with people, today there was a visibly noticeable reduction, aside from the salarymen who had to leave their homes for work.

"It seems that everyone has made timely responses after learning about the situation!" Observing the subway carriage that was more vacant than usual, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't help but remark to Yu Chen.

"Although there's no immediate need to do so, it's good to have such a sense of precaution," Yu Chen slightly nodded. This tense self-protective behavior was much better than indifference, "I hope the epidemic hasn't spread in Japan; otherwise, things could become very troublesome."

"Yeah, last year's MARS already had people panicking, and now with a new type of pneumonia outbreak this year, Tokyo really seems to be plagued with disasters!" Hiromi Jounouchi shook her head helplessly but soon brought up the Tashiro Family's matter to Yu Chen, "Speaking of which, Mr. Chen Yu, why are you so uninterested in the Tashiro Family's affairs? A Sub-Legendary can create another Legendary-rank Undead Servant, right?"

"Yes, but I don't want to be used by others, nor do I want to get involved in such boring family disputes," Yu Chen lowered his voice. Since the subway was emptier that day, he didn't deliberately avoid discussing these topics with Hiromi Jounouchi, "Although the Tashiro Family means to harm me, Ryosen-kun can handle it sufficiently; why should I personally take action? Besides, Doctor Qi Zhi and Doctor Qingdai... don't be fooled by their seemingly pitiful appearance seeking help. In fact, to a great extent, it was their involvement that exacerbated the conflict."

Hiromi Jounouchi agreed with Yu Chen's view and nodded, "Indeed, the former head of the Tashiro family, having lived from the Bakumatsu period to now, is obviously not a reckless person. If he could understand your strength, Mr. Chen Yu, he probably wouldn't have sent Doctor Qi Zhi and Doctor Qingdai after you, right?"

"That's uncertain. Although Qi Zhi concealed my abilities, leading the Tashiro Family to try to deal with me, an old man who could sacrifice his descendants to prolong his own life would certainly cherish it. However, knowing that I could become a Sub-Legendary by thirty, it's hard to say what he might decide to do. What if he wanted to extract the secret to breaking through to Legendary from me?" Yu Chen asked Hiromi Jounouchi, raising a questioning look.

"That might be possible," Hiromi Jounouchi said, nodding with ambiguity and a touch of emotion, "The former head of the Tashiro family, in order to prolong his life, insanely used his own grandson as an experiment. After sacrificing him, he placed the boy's soul into the not yet born Doctor Qingdai, hoping to accomplish reincarnation and live another life. However, he didn't expect Doctor Qingdai to be born a girl, and with twin souls, his plan was thwarted and he refrained from reincarnating himself."

"Did Doctor Qingdai tell you this herself?" Yu Chen frowned, seemingly skeptical about this story.

Hiromi Jounouchi nodded affirmatively, "This indeed came from Doctor Qingdai herself. I have also examined her, and she definitely has twin souls. One of the souls does present as male—it doesn't seem like she's lying."

"She might not be lying about her origins, but whether the experiment was coerced is another matter," Yu Chen shook his head, clearly not entirely convinced by Qingdai's words, "Qi Zhi told me that Qingdai was the person most cherished and trusted by the former head of the Tashiro Family. Her story is not just that of an experimental subject. Moreover, the condition of twin souls in her, is not as simple as putting another soul into a fetus before birth. Hiromi, be careful, and don't trust her too much."

"Okay, I get it. I'll be cautious around her," hearing Yu Chen's words, Hiromi Jounouchi grew more vigilant and her guard against Qingdai deepened.

"About this matter with the Tashiro Family, since you're interested, Hiromi, let's do as I said this morning and have Ryosen-kun handle it. With his capabilities and the current strength of the Mingyue Society, the Tashiro Family can't create any significant trouble. I've already had the Shadow Guard take action. With him involved, there's no need for you to step in," Yu Chen advised Hiromi Jounouchi not to get personally involved, still a bit uneasy about the Tashiro Family.

"I know! My strength isn't bad compared to yours, right? Besides, I have Xiao Lan with me, so nothing will go wrong!" Hiromi Jounouchi chuckled at Yu Chen, pleased that he was so concerned about her, but she didn't see any reason for unexpected occurrences.

However, Yu Chen didn't share her view and still looked worried, "With your abilities, of course, there would be no problems. But the scariest thing in the world has never been force, it's the human heart. It's the scheming of the human heart that scares me, because the malice and treachery it can harbor are something you can never predict, or even imagine."

"Okay, then we'll do as you say, Mr. Chen Yu, and let Ryosen-kun handle it. His power has also increased rapidly, he must be close to reaching the threshold of Sub-Legendary, right?" Seeing Yu Chen so earnest, Hiromi Jounouchi didn't reject his good intentions. Although she couldn't test how much her combat abilities had improved, she obviously wasn't someone who made unreasonable demands.

"Ryosen is still quite a distance from the threshold of Sub-Legendary! It's not that easy to achieve," Yu Chen chuckled, but at the same time also admiringly added, "However, Kojo's strength is indeed increasing rapidly. Given another two years, she should be close to reaching that domain."
