A terrified Ye Xiaofei, upon seeing the shadow suddenly fly toward him, could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and cried out in alarm.
"Ah… ghosts…"
Immediately, he turned and rushed into the ward, and without thinking, he plunged straight into the bathroom inside.
"Ghost… ghost… I actually saw a ghost…"
Inside the bathroom, Ye Xiaofei's face was a mask of fright and fear.
Clearly, he had been greatly frightened by the shadow he had just seen.
"I actually saw a ghost…"
"Damn… that's too terrifying…"
A few breaths later, when Ye Xiaofei had calmed down slightly, his expression suddenly changed.
He couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "No good, Elder Sister Xiao Ya is still outside!"
Thinking of Xiao Ya's safety, Ye Xiaofei couldn't care about his fear anymore; he turned around, pulled open the door of the bathroom, and rushed out.
However, at this moment, he saw the flying shadow suspended in the ward, standing beside Xiao Ya.
Seeing the shadow standing in front of Xiao Ya's bed, Ye Xiaofei's heart couldn't help but rise to his throat.
Despite the terror still evident in his eyes, he tried to remain calm and stared intently at the shadow in front of him.
"You dead ghost, if you dare to hurt my Little Elegant, even as a ghost, this lord will not let you off!"
However, as he spoke, Ye Xiaofei's legs couldn't help trembling, and his heart was full of complaints.
"Damn it, who did this lord offend? I first encountered a Demon Head, and now I've actually run into a ghost!"
Unexpectedly, just as Ye Xiaofei thought of the Demon Head, he suddenly remembered the Demonic Path Soul-Capturing Bead that had fused with his soul, which was a bane to ghosts.
With this thought, Ye Xiaofei suddenly shuddered and immediately summoned the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl with a thought.
However, while Ye Xiaofei was terrified and afraid, the shadow opposite him gradually revealed the figure of an old man with white hair and a weathered visage.
As soon as the old man's soul had just condensed, he opened his mouth and said, "Young man, this old man…"
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, a horrifying and sinister presence burst forth from within Ye Xiaofei's body in an instant.
It nearly caused the soul that the old man had just condensed to dissipate into dark energy again.
"Ah… young man, wait, I truly mean no harm…"
Following that, one saw the old man's soul nearly flew out of the ward in terror in an instant.
Once the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl appeared, Ye Xiaofei's courage grew by threefold. Especially hearing the old man's scream, Ye Xiaofei wore a look of great joy.
Regaining his senses, he let out a series of cold laughs, "You old immortal, daring to scare this lord, now you know how formidable I am, huh!"
"If you don't want to die, then scram at once, otherwise be careful that I don't allow you to transcend in peace!"
Then one saw an invigorated Ye Xiaofei, holding the Soul-capturing Magic Pearl, chasing after the old man's soul as he rushed out of the ward.
The soul of the old man, who had not recovered from the shock, was terrified by Ye Xiaofei's words to the point of losing color, backing away continuously while not forgetting to plead, "Young man, I truly have no ill intentions; I was only hoping to ask for your help!"
"Oh? Then why did you fly at me without so much as a greeting just now?"
"I… I am sorry. I was too impatient!" Upon hearing this, the old man knew he was in the wrong and immediately rushed to apologize to Ye Xiaofei.
"Alright, you must have just died, right?"
Looking at the ghost of the old man in front of him, Ye Xiaofei asked somewhat impatiently, "Is there something you need my help with? But let me be upfront, if I can't do it, don't blame me!"
"Not at all, I just hope that you can help me deliver a few words to my daughter!"
The elder shook his head quickly as he spoke.
"Just to deliver a few words, that's it? Why don't you visit your daughter in her dreams yourself?" Ye Xiaofei was taken aback after hearing this.
"There's no time left, I feel like I'm about to be taken away!"
Upon hearing this, the elder shook his head with a face full of regret.
"Oh, really?"
Ye Xiaofei naturally looked surprised. "If that's the case, then hurry up and speak! What's your name, and where does your family live?"
"If you want me to bring a message to your daughter, you should at least tell me where your family lives!"
"My name is Qian Xuelin, a retired university professor, and my home is at Villa No. 8 in Lushan Villa Complex!" The elder hurriedly replied upon hearing this.
"What...you're the renowned physicist Professor Qian Xuelin from the University of Science and Technology of China!"
The originally impatient Ye Xiaofei nearly had his eyes pop out after hearing the old man's self-introduction.
For a moment, disbelief filled his eyes as he looked at the elder.
No way! Could this elderly guy really be Professor Qian Xuelin? What kind of international joke is this?
Professor Qian Xuelin from USTC, who doesn't know him, who hasn't heard of him!
Even in the world, Professor Qian Xuelin is an absolute authority in the field of physics.
Yet, unexpectedly, such an authoritative professor died in this hospital.
How could Ye Xiaofei believe it for a moment?
Seeing the expression on Ye Xiaofei's face, Qian Xuelin couldn't help but let out a light sigh, "It's all the superficial reputation from my life, I didn't expect you, young man, to know my name!"
Regaining his senses, Ye Xiaofei looked at Qian Xuelin in front of him, his eyes showing a few shades of complexity.
"Professor Qian, you just said that you wanted me to deliver a few words to your daughter, rest assured, I will make sure she gets your message!"
"Thank you, young friend! My daughter's name is Qian Xiaoyun, and she is currently in Shaoyang City."
"Shaoyang City, huh... isn't this place Shaoyang City?" Ye Xiaofei asked, puzzled.
Looking at the astonished Ye Xiaofei, it was now Qian Xuelin's turn to be surprised, "Young friend, this is the Provincial Capital of South China, Nan Shui City!"
"Oh...really?"
Hearing that he was actually in the provincial capital, Nan Shui City, Ye Xiaofei naturally was shocked, but then he immediately realized.
It must be that during the time he was unconscious, his family had brought him here.
So, regaining his composure, Ye Xiaofei quickly said to Qian Xuelin, "Professor Qian, if your daughter is in Shaoyang City, then there's even less problem, because I am from Shaoyang City!"
"Is that so, then that's quite a coincidence!"
Seeing that Ye Xiaofei was still wearing a hospital gown, Qian Xuelin guessed that the young man before him must have been brought to the hospital by his family after falling unconscious.
Otherwise, it was impossible for him not to know that he was currently in Nan Shui City.
Then Qian Xuelin said, "My friend, after you see my daughter, please tell her in person that I was the one who was wrong back then. After so many years, I hope she can forgive her father who has already passed. Also, I hope she can bring her mother to her side to let her enjoy her twilight years!"
After hearing Qian Xuelin's words, Ye Xiaofei sighed inwardly, then continued to ask, "Professor Qian, do you have any other unfulfilled wishes? If there's something I can help with, I will definitely do it for you!"
