VIP Volume Chapter 154: Water Control Technique

Guan Ling pulled Little Yu'er into a hug and reproached her playfully, "My good little sister, this is no time to be mysterious and hold back information! Big Brother is still lying in bed!"

Little Yu'er pouted and said, "I'm not holding back on purpose. It's just that I don't have a deep impression of this person, and I honestly don't even know his name! He used to be Uncle Tu's adopted son, and Uncle Tu treated him very well. Later, for some reason, he became an assassin in the Enforcement Hall. Uncle Tu was heartbroken and cut all ties with him!"

Ye Xiaoxuan asked her, "You mean he learned Tu Laosan's skills?"

Little Yu'er shook her head and replied, "He learned skills from many people in the Nine-Flow Sect! It seems he even knows my dad's swift saber technique!"

Old Herdsman's expression changed instantly. He asked Little Yu'er, "Could he be Faceless, the current leader of the Wolf Squad?"

If someone possessed the skills of all the top experts in the Nine-Flow Sect, such a figure would indeed have to be the leader of the assassins!

During the tragedy of the Ye family, the leader of the Wolf Squad was the Wolf King, and Faceless had not appeared. Could he be the one who drugged Ye Dajun?

Guan Ling crossed her arms and paced back and forth in the hospital room. Right now, she really looked a bit like a seasoned lead detective. Walking slowly, she said to the others, "If it's Faceless, his target should be Xiaoxuan. Why target Big Brother? Does he want to wipe out the entire Ye family? But since he was able to drug him, why didn't he just use a fatal poison?"

"Cough, cough!" Ye Dajun coughed and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that he had woken up, the others hurriedly crowded around him.

Jiran had been keeping vigil by the bedside all along. She held a cup of warm water and brought it to Ye Dajun's lips. Ye Dajun took it and drank it in one gulp, looked around at everyone, shook his head, and asked, "Why are you all here?"

Old Herdsman supported his shoulders, looked into his eyes, and announced to the group, "Alright, the effects of the drug have worn off!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Dajun still seemed a bit dizzy. He clutched his head and asked, "What drug effects? Master, why did you come too? Are you guys here to discharge me from the hospital?"

Little Yu'er shouted at Ye Dajun, "Big Brother, who am I?"

Ye Dajun frowned and said, "You're Yu'er, what's wrong?"

Yu'er smiled and said, "Phew, you really are sober now! Big Brother, do you know that just now you almost jumped from the sixth floor? Eldest Sister thought you were trying to commit suicide and called all of us over. Good thing we got here in time!"

All the words Guan Ling had prepared to say were stolen by the fast-talking Yu'er. Anxiously stamping her feet, Guan Ling pulled Yu'er aside and asked Ye Dajun, "Big Brother, do you remember anything about what happened just now?"

Ye Dajun looked at everyone with a blank expression and shook his head. "I don't remember! It felt like I took a nap, but I didn't sleep soundly. I had a dream, I dreamed of..."

Ye Dajun didn't continue, and his face turned red. Ye Xiaoxuan laughed and shouted at him, "What did you dream about? You have to tell us!"

Everyone was startled, unable to understand why he was suddenly so excited, as if injected with chicken blood. Old Herdsman thought for a moment, instantly understood, and with a similarly flushed face, grabbed Ye Dajun by the throat and choked him, saying, "If you dare say it out loud, I'll choke you to death!"

Ye Dajun's eyes rolled back from the choking, his tongue sticking out as he was about to pass out. The others hurriedly rushed over to pull Old Herdsman away. In her panic, Little Yu'er snatched the cup from Ye Dajun's hand and poured its contents straight down the back of Old Herdsman's neck!

Old Herdsman shivered violently, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His face turned pale with cold. He let go, jumped up and down a few times on the floor, and something dropped out from inside his clothes, clattering onto the ground. When everyone looked, it turned out to be a block of ice!

Everyone was dumbfounded. Jiran remembered clearly that the cup of water she had poured was warm, and Ye Dajun had even drunk from it. How did it turn into a block of ice by the time it reached Little Yu'er's hands?

Guan Ling looked at Little Yu'er in astonishment and asked, "Fourth Sister, how... how did you do that?"

Little Yu'er looked blankly at the enamel cup in her hand, which was now coated with a thin layer of frost, equally baffled as to how she had acquired such an ability!

Ye Xiaoxuan poured some more warm water into the cup and told her, "Do it again!" Everyone stretched their necks to watch the cup in Little Yu'er's hand, but after a full few minutes, nothing changed at all!

Ye Xiaoxuan nodded gently and said, "I get it. This is just like Guan Ling's fire-control technique—it only works sometimes!"

The others turned away in disappointment, but Little Yu'er let out a shriek of "Ah!" and threw the cup onto the ground. Startled, everyone watched as the teacup and the warm water spilled on the floor started billowing with dense steam. In the blink of an eye, Yu'er had actually boiled the water!

Worried, Ye Xiaoxuan rushed to Little Yu'er's side and cupped her small hands in his. "How is it? Did you get burned?"

Feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, Yu'er shook her head and said, "No, it just startled me!" Ye Xiaoxuan examined her fair, tender hands, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no abnormalities. He turned his head and demanded of Ye Dajun, "Speak! What on earth did you dream about?"

Driven mad by frustration, Old Herdsman cursed angrily, "You brat, won't you ever let it go?"

With a straight and solemn face, Ye Xiaoxuan argued, "If we don't know what he dreamed about, how are we supposed to find the killer?"

Guan Ling also nodded and said, "Big Brother, you must give us detailed information so we can solve the case. You have no idea how dangerous the situation was just now. Do you know you almost jumped from the sixth floor?"

Ye Dajun's eyes widened in horror. Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, he realized they weren't joking with him. With lingering fear in his heart, he said, "Actually, it wasn't a dream; it definitely wasn't! Yaya is back. She was watching me from the roof of the building across the street, so I went over there to hang out with her, and then..."

Ye Dajun furrowed his brows tightly, as if thinking about it caused him a severe headache. Meanwhile, Old Herdsman's face flushed with shame. He gripped his sheep-herding whip tightly, ready to beat his apprentice's mouth to a pulp the moment the embarrassing truth came out!

With a malicious grin, Ye Xiaoxuan asked, "And then what?"

Ye Dajun said, "And then, I really went over there. She wanted to take me away, to a place very, very far away. She also said she didn't want me to stay with you, saying you bring disaster to everyone and that you are a cursed lone star!"

"I'll bite your wife!" Ye Xiaoxuan cursed angrily. "How can she say that? I've never treated the silly girl badly, so how could she slander me like this?"

Little Yu'er covered her mouth and giggled. "Silly, Big Brother was just dreaming!"

With complete sincerity, Ye Dajun told the crowd, "It wasn't a dream. I really saw Yaya! She's been here keeping me company since last night, but she didn't come inside because she said she had to stop someone named Tu Yixiao!"

Guan Ling pressed down on his shoulders and said, "Big Brother, you're too exhausted. Get some rest and meet Yaya in your dreams again!"

Struggling anxiously, Ye Dajun's right hand brushed against his trouser pocket. His eyes lit up. He pulled out an object, placed it in the palm of his hand, and opened it before everyone, asking, "Then how do you explain this?"
