“Gu Jin, you’re looking for him, right? He’s here. Aren’t you the Godly Doctor? Hurry up and save him!” Shen Qin, panic-stricken, grabbed Gu Jin’s hand.
Gu Jin was about to retrieve her supplies from the car, but she saw that Gu Yang had already returned with the first aid kit.
The people from Valley of Pills suddenly felt that something was amiss. Had Beiting Huang gone mad? He actually dared to accept the challenge issued jointly by the three elders? Was he out of his mind?
The three elders, too, felt a thin layer of sweat forming on their backs. They sensed that something was off but would never admit that Beiting Huang’s strength surpassed theirs. Beiting Huang had ascended to Heaven Rank just four months ago, the same time as they had. In just four months, how could Beiting Huang’s strength exceed theirs?
After ascending to Heaven Rank, the three of them had come to deeply understand that comprehension had become more important than the accumulation of energy. What insights could a mere brat like Beiting Huang have? Even within Heaven Rank, if there was a slight disparity in understanding the rules of heaven and earth, the difference in strength could be vast as heaven and earth.
“Heh, Beiting Huang, it seems today is the day you die!” The Second Elder abruptly drew his long sword, turning to the similarly dark-faced Third Elder and Fourth Elder and said, “Since the lad is not afraid of death, let’s all go on him together! The fools of Central Continent had better not accuse us of bullying the young due to our age!”
“Pah, pah, pah!”
There were sounds of spitting from the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, and Rikedo, who had nearly lost his life after taking Beiting Huang’s medicinal pills, was now jumping around energetically and laughed, “I’ve seen shameless people, but never someone this shameless!”
As for the others, they couldn’t even be bothered to disparage the three old individuals from Valley of Pills.
The people of Huang City, upon hearing these words, could only helplessly shake their heads. They did not wish to say half a word, feeling that it would be degrading to converse with such people.
Shen Qin remained silent for a moment before turning her attention to Gu Yang. “Did you hypnotize me and follow me?”
She had just gone to check on Shen Ran when Gu Jin and the others arrived, indicating they had clearly followed her. Given that she had an unusual urge to visit Shen Ran today, she suspected hypnosis was involved.
Gu Yang acknowledged, “I did give you a psychological hint. When I asked you about Shen Ran, I subtly suggested you find him.”
Shen Qin, realizing she had been hypnotized, said, “You hypnotized me.”
Feng Jue was the one who had tracked Shen Qin.
Gu Yang asked, “Why did you lock him up? Why did he cut his wrist?”
Shen Qin sat in a daze, her face pale. She buried her head in her hands, overwhelmed with frustration. “I removed all the sharp objects. How did he manage to cut his wrist…”
To prevent Shen Ran from harming himself, she had confined him, installed anti-theft nets on the windows to prevent him from jumping, and avoided using glass or ceramic items that could be broken into sharp fragments.
Gu Yang observed the broken glass from the window. “It was the broken glass window,” she said.
She also noted that Shen Ran’s hands were covered in scars, likely from biting himself. It seemed he had resorted to self-harm in the absence of sharp objects.
“This form of self-harm is often seen in deeply depressed individuals,” Gu Yang commented. “Shen Qin, was Shen Ran already depressed and at risk of suicide before you locked him up, or did your confinement contribute to his depression and suicidal tendencies?”
Shen Ran’s condition was severe, far beyond the severity seen in cases like Ruan Chu’s in the past. His clear suicidal tendencies were alarming.
