Ye Yan's eyes focused, then he made a hand seal and waved his hand in the air, casting level one of the Vast Sky Technique, Impurity Removal, at Liu Kan.
To Liu Kan's surprise, the youth in front of him had only casually waved his hand, but a stream of light had appeared in the latter's hand. Then, the parts of his robe that had been dirtied by mud earlier became as good as new!
"This...!" Liu Kan's eyes widened in disbelief.
And beside him, there was another person who couldn't believe it, Chen Geng. Seeing Ye Yan use such a spell, he was stunned. Oh my, so Brother Yan already learned spells? He wanted to ask but was forced to swallow his question when seeing Ye Yan's eyes.
Ye Yan stopped Chen Geng's question in time and explained to Liu Kan, "Brother Liu, did you see that? What I used just now was a Dao technique."
"A Dao technique... Are you cultivators?" Liu Kan's eyes were filled with questions.
Ye Yan nodded and acquiesced. Chen Geng didn't forget to verbally affirm Liu Kan's question to support Ye Yan. Liu Kan looked at Chen Geng. He had some impression of him, as the Liu family and the Chen family were only separated by a bamboo fence. However, he had no impression of Ye Yan.
Ye Yan saw Liu Kan's doubt at a glance, so he took the initiative to say, " Liu Kan's mind turned for a moment before he came to a realization. Liu Hui had told him before that there was a carpenter in the village with the surname Ye. It seemed that the young man was the carpenter's grandson. Relating his mother's situation and Ye Yan's action of pulling him out, he understood a little. "Are you here to save my mother?" He asked tentatively. "Of course!" Ye Yan laughed. Suddenly, he thought of something and changed his words, "However, I can't guarantee it will work. Though there's one thing I can promise, and that's that the witch your family hired is not even half as capable as me." After all, he was still a newbie. It was not good to boast easily. He had to leave some leeway for himself. When Liu Kan heard this, he began to think. In fact, he and his father didn't really believe the witch they had hired, but his grandmother did. However, Ye Yan's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope. "Perhaps he would succeed?" He thought. "Alright!" Liu Kan nodded solemnly, "If you can save my mother, I'll do my best to repay your kindness if you're in any trouble in the future!" Then, he bowed deeply to the two. Ye Yan quickly stopped him, "There's no need for all the courtesy. Time is of the essence. Let's go!" Immediately, the three of them rushed back to the Liu family. On the other side, the so-called witch had already finished her act. She put on a tired look and began thinking about how much she should ask for. Liu Hui had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Liu Kan return with two children, his brows relaxed a lot. "Uncle Sun," According to seniority, Ye Yan and Chen Geng greeted Liu Hui politely. Liu Hui knew the latter, so he just nodded. As for Ye Yan, he only recognized him after looking at him and thinking for a long time, "You are the grandson of Old Master Ye?" "That's right, I'm Ye Yan," Ye Yan nodded. "Well, very good. It's the first time Xiao Kan has brought a friend back. We have some situations here, but you guys go along and have fun," Seeing Ye Yan's calm demeanor, Liu Hui was very satisfied. He let Liu Kan go with the two, then entered the ward himself. On the other side, Liu Kan led the two of them into the study and sat down. "Tell me about your mother's condition before she fell ill," Ye Yan didn't beat around the bush. Liu Kan's voice trembled when he was talking about the matter, "It was probably yesterday. Everything was normal then. I was studying in the study when my mother just came back and told me that she bought a fox. Then, she said that she felt a little dizzy and didn't wake up after lying down. After that, it's as what you have been seeing." The words were simple and the details were scarce. There seemed to be nothing suspicious, but Ye Yan sharply caught the word "fox". That's right, it was that aura. After entering the Liu residence, he could sense the aura increasingly clearer. It was definitely that aura. According to Liu Kan's words, Ye Yan had some judgment, "Brother Liu, there's something wrong with your house... There's demonic qi!" Demonic qi? Liu Kan was shocked. Liu Hui had told him many folk stories at night behind his mother's back. Many of the stories mentioned demons. Who would have thought that a demon would be in his house?! "You mean..." He was secretly speechless. "That's right," Ye Yan replied, "It's just a preliminary judgment, though. Is the fox your mother bought still around?" Liu Kan was stunned. He could not think of any connection between the fox and the demon. Could the other party be hungry? "Y-yes, it's still in the kitchen." "Alright, take us there." With that, Liu Kan took Ye Yan and Chen Geng to the kitchen, but they didn't see the fox. "Sure enough," Ye Yan fixed his eyes on the wooden cage which had a hole in it that didn't seem to have been caused normally. There were some fox furs on the ground. Ye Yan picked them up and felt them carefully, then revealed a sharp look. "This aura..." He clenched his fists, "It's the same as the aura in the master room. It seems that your mother's illness is caused by this fox." With that one sentence, the atmosphere in the kitchen turned cold. Now that the target was confirmed, measures had to be taken. It was Liu Kan who broke the silence, "Ye Yan, I believe you. I'll tell my father to find a way to get past grandma. We have to draw her away first." Ye Yan and Chen Geng nodded. Liu Kan told them to wait back in his room, then he went alone to the main room. At this moment, the witch took a handful of rune papers and burned them to ashes, mixing them in water. "This is the Exalted Celestial Rune Water. It can cure the illness," The witch handed it to mother-in-law Liu, and the latter quickly took it. "Thank you so much," Mother-in-law Liu nodded her head repeatedly and thanked the witch profusely, "If it wasn't for you, my daughter's illness wouldn't have been cured!" Seeing that the mother-in-law of the family had fallen into her trap, the witch revealed a smile and said, "It's nothing. However, although the consumption of my powers is nothing, I risked my life back then to get the rune papers from a celestial mountain. Think about it, this is the rune paper of a celestial. The value of this..." "The price is all good! All good!" Mother-in-law Liu was all smiles as she called, "Hui'er!" Liu Hui responded and smiled at his mother-in-law, "Mom, what's wrong?" "Hurry up, give a gift of gratitude to our benefactor!" When Liu Hui heard this, he was unwilling. His wife had not improved, but he was now ushered to pay. However, for the sake of his mother-in-law, he still asked, "What gift does the respected witch want?" The witch's eyes rolled as she revealed a cunning smile, "I don't need much, just twenty or so taels of silver will do!" Twenty taels! Liu Hui's pupils constricted. Although twenty taels weren't a lot to the Liu family, it was enough for the rest of the villagers to spend for the rest of their lives. This was simply a robbery!
