Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 560 Possession (2)_1
"The Young Master has suffered severe internal injuries. Most of his meridians are damaged, and his blood is surging upward. He needs to enter a period of hibernation to slowly recover the damaged meridians within his body."
"How long must the Young Master hibernate?"
"At least one year, and at most five years." Elder Mi shook his head. He took out several Medicinal Pills from his bosom and fed them to the Young Master. Together with several elders of the Ye Family, they waved their hands and erected a thick protective barrier around Young Master Ye San. Only then did everyone leave with solemn faces.
Young Master Ye San had entered hibernation before, but those were his regular retreats for meditation. This time, however, it was because he had almost succumbed to demonic possession, and the faces of the elders were grave.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, now that the Young Master is in hibernation, the affairs of the Ye Family’s main house and Ye International will continue as usual. They are to be handled by Eldest Young Master, who will preside over the main house, while Second Young Master will oversee Beijing," Elder Mi instructed solemnly, stroking his grizzled beard.
When the Young Master had gone into hibernation in the past, the arrangements were the same. This time, however, the Young Master had instructed Second Young Master Ye Er to go to Beijing. Though a bit unusual, it was no bad thing for the main house.
"Elder Mi, I can stay in the main house and manage Ye International’s affairs as well, right?" Second Young Master Ye Er spoke coldly. How could he possibly leave with the Young Master unconscious?
"Yes, Elder Mi, my younger brother can stay here. He can help me share some of the family’s burdens," Eldest Young Master Ye Da said in a gentle voice from his wheelchair.
"This is the family’s decision. You must depart immediately and manage Ye International’s affairs for the family. As for other matters, the Eldest Young Master will naturally take good care of them," Elder Mi commanded. His authority within the family was second only to the Young Master. He was an ancient figure of unknown age who often lived in seclusion and rarely showed his face, reinforcing his enigmatic nature. Yet, everyone in the Ye Family knew of his formidable presence.
If not for the great commotion caused by Young Master Ye San, Elder Mi would not have appeared.
"Yes, Elder Mi," Second Young Master Ye Er replied respectfully. He glanced once at the room where Young Master Ye San lay, heaved a sigh, and with a swing of his long sword toward the sky, stepped onto it and left the Ye Family’s main house.
Here, one could leave anytime if their abilities permitted; but if not, it was better to stay safe within these walls.
"Shaoyu, with what has happened to the Young Master, you need to take greater care of the main house’s affairs." Elder Mi looked toward the departing Second Young Master Ye Er, patted Eldest Young Master Ye Da’s shoulder, and spoke affectionately.
"Rest assured, Elder Mi, I will do my best."
"Hmm." Elder Mi nodded. Alongside several elders, he disappeared once more into the woods. The group had just left Young Master Ye San’s room when the entire villa was instantly shrouded in mist and vanished from sight.
Eldest Young Master Ye Da watched the mist-enshrouded villa, his lips curled faintly. By the time Young Master Ye San awoke, all affairs would have settled. "Let’s go," he commanded softly. His shadow guards then pushed his wheelchair onto a path within the dense forest, disappearing without a trace.
「In Beijing, Shangguan You sat in Luo Tong’s military Range Rover.」
Since Luo Xiao wasn’t talking, claiming it was some state-level secret, Shangguan You didn’t press further. She slowly closed her eyes and rested.
Suddenly, Shangguan You’s tightly shut eyes snapped open. She clutched her chest, gasping for breath as an agonizing pain washed over her. It drained all her strength; her face turned ashen, and large beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.
"Girl, what’s wrong?" Luo Jing noticed Shangguan You’s distress and asked anxiously.
PFFT. Shangguan You suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The churning blood and the increasing pain in her chest drained her complexion to a paper-white. She could clearly feel the closeness of death. As the vehicle moved, her entire body writhed in agony.
Shangguan You gasped for air, her hands clutching her chest tightly, attempting to soothe her wildly beating heart. Her breathing gradually weakened.
"Girl, what’s wrong with you? Stop the car! Stop the car now!" Luo Xiao bellowed. The car came to a swift halt. He laid Shangguan You flat on the back seat, while Luo Jing quickly called the military hospital to have experts come as soon as possible.
Seeing Shangguan You in such a state, both men realized they could not move her.
Zhuge Feng and his companions, following in the car behind, hurried out when they saw the car stop ahead. Seeing Shangguan You’s condition, their faces grew solemn. "Shangguan You, what’s wrong with you?" Lan Xuan asked, noticing the blood on her lips, as she and Han Yachu moved toward her.
"Don’t touch her, her condition is very dangerous," Luo Tong quickly intervened, blocking the two of them.
"What happened to you? Move aside!" Zhuge Feng demanded, his expression intense. With a sweep of his palm, he repelled the Luo brothers standing in his way. In a flash, he was in the car, cradling Shangguan You gently in his arms. His hands rested on her back as he channeled a continuous stream of Spiritual Energy into her body.
Why did she resemble someone who had suffered from demonic possession?
Feeling strands of Spiritual Energy seeping into her, Shangguan You’s frenetic heart slowed. The pain in her body gradually subsided, and she opened her eyes to see Zhuge Feng holding her, concern etched on his face. Tears flowed incessantly from her eyes. She truly did not want to cry, but she couldn’t stop herself.
She had just skirted the brink of Ghost Gate; death had been so close. Now, the inexplicable pain in her body had vanished, leaving her only weak. Yet the sensation from just moments before still made her heart palpitate deeply.
Shangguan You lifted her right hand and glanced at the Blood Jade Bracelet on it; its color had faded. The previously flowing blood-like strands within it had stilled. What had once been as lively as a living thing now lay inert on her wrist, devoid of its Spiritual Power.
The malicious smirk of Young Master Ye San surfaced in her mind once more. She was certain that something had happened to him. The faint warmth from the Blood Jade Bracelet had disappeared, the flowing blood-like strands within it had ceased their movement, and even its color had faded.
