Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 16 The shackles!

16: The shackles!

16: The shackles!

Ye Qiu brought Shen Mengchen back to the Goddess Villa, and Shangguan Hong, Niu Yinyin, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good to have you back.” Shangguan Hong hugged Shen Mengchen.

During the time Shen Mengchen was kidnapped, she had been blaming herself, thinking that if she hadn’t taken Shen Mengchen out for a drive, the accident wouldn’t have happened.

Seeming to notice Shangguan Hong’s self-reproach, Shen Mengchen smiled nonchalantly and said, “It’s okay, Sister Guan Hong.

With Ye Qiu, such a great master, protecting me, nobody can hurt me.”

Shangguan Hong looked at her with surprise, astonished at Shen Mengchen’s sudden one hundred and eighty degree change in attitude towards Ye Qiu.

Previously, the mere mention of Ye Qiu’s name would have Shen Mengchen pouting, never like today—mentioning his name now brought a smile to her face.

Ye Qiu felt somewhat embarrassed by Shangguan Hong’s gaze and chuckled sheepishly.

“Now that the young lady is safe, I can rest assured.

Young Master Ye, we owe you a great deal this time.

If it weren’t for you, the young lady would have been in danger.

Please, look after her safety from now on,” said Uncle Liu as he bowed sincerely to Ye Qiu.

“Uncle Liu, you mustn’t.” Ye Qiu quickly helped Uncle Liu up, feeling a profound respect in his heart for the old man who had devoted his life to the Shen family.

Uncle Liu treated Shen Mengchen as his own granddaughter and had exhausted himself for most of his life for the sake of the Shen family.

For such an elder, Ye Qiu had the utmost respect from the bottom of his heart; thus, he was always polite to Uncle Liu and never treated him as though he were merely a steward of the Shen family.

“Uncle Liu, I’m sorry for worrying you.

I won’t make any decisions rashly in the future.

Ye Qiu will protect me, you can rest assured,” Shen Mengchen ran over and grabbed Uncle Liu’s hand, speaking obediently.

“Ha ha, good, the young lady is getting more sensible,” Uncle Liu patted Shen Mengchen on the head, his face brimming with a kind smile, his heart finally at ease now that the young lady had acknowledged Ye Qiu’s presence.

The safe return of Shen Mengchen lifted the spirits of everyone.

Niu Yinyin clamored for Ye Qiu to prepare a delicious meal to help Shen Mengchen recover from the shock, a request that immediately won unanimous approval from all the beauties present.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu had no choice but to show off his cooking skills, and made dinner for everyone that evening.

Although the meal was light, it conquered everyone’s hearts because the food Ye Qiu prepared was unlike anything they had commonly eaten.

In their eyes, Ye Qiu had already been crowned the title of kitchen god.

Stomachs full, the three women gathered together, chattering and making merry until late, finally settling down to rest in their respective rooms.

A gentle breeze wafted through, refreshing the air inside, and the bright moonlight shone through the window onto Ye Qiu’s body.

Ye Qiu did not lie down to rest but sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed, hands in the position for practicing his skills.

Inside Ye Qiu’s body, a surge of True Qi followed the meridians, continuously striking against blocking points.

Each time it hit a blocked acupoint, Ye Qiu’s body trembled slightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his cheeks.

This state of striking continued for more than an hour, and the ground where Ye Qiu sat had become wet with sweat.

After a while, Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes.

“I’ve managed to open many of the body’s acupoints, but only the Yongquan acupoint remains undisturbed.

Once it’s opened, my strength will reach new heights,” Ye Qiu said calmly.

Ye Qiu’s current cultivation involved opening the body’s major acupoints to enhance potential and lead to increased strength and longevity.

“The old man said that throughout the ages, very few could fully penetrate all one hundred acupoints of the body.

The only known figures of modern times were Zhang Sanfeng, Dong Haichuan, and Yang Luchan, among a few others.

I still have a long way to go to reach such heights,” Ye Qiu murmured to himself.

While the old man claimed as much, upon closer scrutiny, those who could break through the majority of their acupoints before the age of thirty, might not even include the likes of Zhang Sanfeng.

Ye Qiu had his own pride; he managed to break through a hundred acupoints in his early twenties, which signified how extraordinary his martial arts talent was.

Even his master, the old lecher, couldn’t help but praise him endlessly, calling him a martial arts prodigy.

Ye Qiu had been learning martial arts with the old man since childhood.

Already gifted, coupled with relentless training, he had condensed his True Qi before the age of ten.

When the old man received this news, he was so excited that he danced around and shouted at the sky, thanking the heavens for not treating him poorly and bestowing upon him a disciple with such definitive talent.

After that, life became even more miserable for Ye Qiu.

The old man’s demands became much stricter, subjecting him to almost unending training, and only when the old man could no longer offer guidance did Ye Qiu finally get some reprieve.

“My advantage lies in condensing True Qi earlier than the ancients.

According to the old man, if I can penetrate all the acupoints in my body before the age of twenty-five, my future martial arts prowess will not be inferior to the modern Yang Luchan or the ancient Zhang Sanfeng!”

As lovely as the aspiration was, Ye Qiu knew reaching that height was not an easy task.

First and foremost, he had to break through the Yongquan acupoint; only by shattering this acupoint could he unify all subsequent ones and unlock the secrets of human life.

The old man once said that if one could penetrate all the acupoints in the body, it would unveil the mysteries of the human physique, and then one could also unravel the enigma of the Perspective Eyes.

Ye Qiu possessed the Perspective Eyes, a natural ability that even the old man couldn’t explain the magic of.

The most memorable moment for Ye Qiu was when the old man learned that his eyes could see through all obstacles; he clapped his hands in shock, his face twisted with heartfelt pain.

He enviously said, “If only I had this extraordinary gift, I would gladly live twenty years less.”

At that time, Ye Qiu didn’t understand why the old man behaved so uncharacteristically, thinking that the Perspective Eyes were merely capable of seeing through obstructions to the essence.

It wasn’t until much later that he realized the importance of the Perspective Eyes.

No wonder the old man was so envious; it turns out this guy was actually…

This sly old man was always thinking about the tranquil nun, even frequently encouraging Ye Qiu to help him with his illegal antics, or else Ye Qiu wouldn’t have been forced to leave the mountain.

After half a day of cultivation, Ye Qiu’s gaze passed through the limestone stairs above his head, piercing into the upper floor.

He saw bodies sleeping in various positions.

Shen Mengchen’s body sprawled out in a spreadeagled position on the bed, deep in sleep.

Niu Yinyin was holding a teddy bear, looking very adorable.

It was Shangguan Hong’s sleeping posture that caused Ye Qiu’s eyes to linger for a moment.

After briefly glancing at the three women upstairs, Ye Qiu withdrew his gaze, the bright light in his eyes fading away as he turned off the function of the Perspective Eyes.

“The old man wanted to have Perspective Eyes like mine; what he wanted to see most must be a scene like this,” Ye Qiu chuckled, unable to stop a sneaky grin when he thought about how the old man envied him.

After laughing twice, Ye Qiu put away his smile and showed a hint of melancholy, “Old man, are you doing okay on the mountain without me to keep you company?”

After talking to himself, Ye Qiu closed his eyes and began to rest, entering deep sleep.
