Ye Fan had no choice but to retract his Evil Flames.
Something felt off.
These items clearly belonged to Master Xie Yan, so why didn't he recognize them?
"Master, please think again?" Ye Fan prompted gently, "Perhaps something will come to mind?"
"I really have no recollection..." Master Xie Yan's complexion improved after the Evil Flames disappeared, "I've forgotten many things from the past."
"That's right," the Second Elder chimed in, "When I met Master at Siling Temple, he didn't remember his past either."
Ye Fan's lips twitched slightly.
It seemed Master Xie Yan had amnesia.
If that was the case, any further questioning would be futile.
Fine.
This matter was a dead end...
"Master, these items might have been left by you in the past," Ye Fan pointed to the pile of pillars on the ground. "Why don't you keep them for now? Perhaps you'll remember something from them later?"
"Makes sense!" Master Xie Yan nodded earnestly, "I also want to know about my past."
After saying that, Master Xie Yan pulled open his pants and beckoned the pillars.
Then, with a 'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,' all the pillars disappeared into his crotch...
Ye Fan was utterly stunned!
What the heck?
How did he fit so many pillars in there?
Was he perhaps a Doraemon from another world?
Of course, this was just Ye Fan's internal monologue.
After all, there were spatial rings in the cultivation world.
But imagining the shape of a spatial ring and Master Xie Yan's storage location...
Ye Fan got goosebumps all over!
He couldn't think about it anymore!
It would blind him!
Just as Ye Fan was lost in thought, the two elders finally noticed the little demoness beside them.
Their eyes immediately lit up!
It was the kind of excited glint one gets upon discovering something valuable!
"Little girl, you're sick!" The Second Elder pointed to the little demoness's chest, saying seriously and excitedly, "And it's quite serious!"
"That's right!" Master Xie Yan pointed to the other side, "But don't worry, we'll cure her."
"Exactly, just like that!"
"Hehehe!"
"Hehehehehehe!"
...
The little demoness dared not reply, instead hiding behind Ye Fan...
Although she knew it might seem impolite, she was simply too scared...
More precisely, the moment she saw the two elders, her legs went weak...
While the Second Elder looked normal at first glance, the problem lay in his vacant gaze!
The little demoness had only glanced at him and her whole body felt unwell!
She couldn't explain why, but she felt an inexplicable panic!
As for Master Xie Yan, there was even less to say...
Seeing his crooked left eye darting erratically and his bizarre smile, the little demoness almost fainted on the spot!
What scared her wasn't just the superficial strangeness, but something deeper hidden behind his peculiar countenance.
Even though she didn't know what it meant, her body trembled uncontrollably...
This feeling was even more intense than when she was suppressed by the Kurugus bloodline!
Ye Fan glanced at the two elders thoughtfully.
Before, he thought Master Xie Yan's ability to obtain ink brewed from World Tree leaves meant he had an extraordinary background.
But now it was confirmed that the little demoness was actually from the demon race.
And from the highest echelons of the demon race at that.
Even she was so terrified...
It seemed he had underestimated Master Xie Yan before!
Since the Second Elder could associate with Master Xie Yan, he must also be extraordinary!
However, the most pressing matter now was to dispel their terrifying intentions!
Let alone whether the little demoness was truly sick.
Even if she was, could these two cure her?
If it fell into their hands, who knew what kind of mess would ensue!
"Second Elder, Master Xie Yan," Ye Fan quickly changed the subject, "I know about her illness, and she's already receiving treatment. You two don't need to worry!"
"So that's how it is..." The Second Elder nodded as if he suddenly understood, "Alright then."
"If you encounter any difficulties later, please feel free to come to us!" Master Xie Yan's left eye began to twitch faster, "Your friend is our friend, and we are more than willing to help our good friends!"
"Hehehe!"
"Hehehehehehe!"
...
"Senior Brother Ye!" A shout came from outside the door.
The group looked and saw Li Mingbai running in with something in his hand.
"Second Elder? Master Xie Yan?"
Li Mingbai was also taken aback upon seeing the two elders, and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Disciple greets both seniors!"
"So it's Little Mingbai."
The Second Elder nodded with relief, a look of paternal appreciation on his face.
Suddenly!
The Second Elder's facial features contorted!
His left half of his face seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and twisted into a knot.
His right half of his face was also pulled out of shape...
And his body began to tremble slightly!
The faster he trembled, the more he shook!
Then, his body crouched down in a bizarre posture, his arms bent and held in front of his neck.
His thumbs and forefingers kept opening and closing...
Ye Fan and the other two were dumbfounded!
What was going on all of a sudden?
"Second Elder?" Ye Fan asked with concern, "Are you...?"
"What are you looking at?"
The Second Elder's contorted face seemed to convey disdain, and the speed of his hand movements visibly increased.
"Haven't you ever seen a crab?!"
As he spoke, his body also moved sideways a few times...
Ye Fan and the others: ...
"Ah, I remember!" Master Xie Yan slapped his forehead, "The Second Elder developed a new pill yesterday and decided to try it himself."
Ye Fan and Li Mingbai nodded to themselves.
Same old routine...
This was so like the Second Elder...
At that moment, they couldn't help but sigh again.
It was practically a miracle that the Second Elder had survived to this day!
And those around the Second Elder, like Master Xie Yan, had unusually tough lives!
In short, they had definitely surpassed the realm of ordinary humans!
"But it's not a big problem!"
Master Xie Yan calmly reached into his pants and pulled out a handful of silver needles.
"I'll just give him a few acupuncture points, you don't need to worry!"
With that, Master Xie Yan casually picked a needle and plunged it into the Second Elder's philtrum...
"Then Master, please take your time. We won't disturb you!"
Ye Fan said, and immediately dragged Li Mingbai and the little demoness away...
They absolutely couldn't stay here any longer!
Who knew if Master Xie Yan would get carried away and decide to give them a few needles too...
After fleeing a considerable distance, Ye Fan finally stopped.
"Junior Brother Li, was there something you wanted to see me about just now?"
"Yes, it's like this," Li Mingbai explained, "My parents just sent word. My fiancée has come to find me!"
