Chapter 80.2: Secret
But none of that mattered right now. Nan Yu began slowly guiding his mental power deeper into Yu Lanfeng’s Mental Sea. Only after he could sense the situation inside did he gradually realize...
Nan Yu felt as though he had discovered an earth-shattering secret.
If this secret were exposed, the entire Empire might fall into panic.
Because the strongest Ability User in the entire Empire, the leader of the most powerful legion...
Marshal Yu Lanfeng’s Mental Sea was actually mottled and ruined, covered in wounds everywhere. Leaving aside exactly how much Mental Contamination was inside, Nan Yu could sense that it had at least already reached a limit.
In other words, if it increased even slightly...
It might cross that line.
After discovering this secret, Nan Yu froze in place for several minutes before finally coming back to his senses.
Once he recovered, he realized that no matter what exactly was going on, what he needed to do now was quickly help Yu Lanfeng and wake him up. That was the important matter.
If he remained unconscious like this, he would definitely have to be sent to the hospital.
And the matter of Yu Lanfeng being sent to the hospital after falling unconscious for unknown reasons definitely could not be concealed.
In that case...
Nan Yu gritted his teeth. First, he still had to slowly help Yu Lanfeng remove some of the contamination in his Mental Sea, bit by bit.
He paused slightly.
Only then did he remember that many of the dishes on this table seemed to be made from Ability Beast meat.
It did not matter if a Mental Power User ate it. After all, they themselves could remove Mental Contamination.
But Yu Lanfeng was different.
He had surely already been at the edge before, and then he had eaten so much Ability Beast meat...
So did he know his own condition?
He should know, right?
Then why had he eaten so much Ability Beast meat and made himself faint?
Was it just to make Nan Yu take action?
But if he wanted Nan Yu’s help, couldn’t he have just said so directly?
As a Mental Power User who would become one of his subordinates in the future, would Nan Yu really refuse to help him?
No matter what, Nan Yu now began.
He was already extremely skilled at work like removing Mental Contamination. In just half an hour, he removed a portion of the Mental Contamination.
Although Yu Lanfeng’s Mental Sea still looked terrible, at this level, he should be able to wake up, right?
Good.
Just as Nan Yu was thinking that, Yu Lanfeng moved.
Then, when his head turned, it even rubbed twice against Nan Yu’s stomach.
The corner of Nan Yu’s mouth twitched, but he held back and said nothing.
Yu Lanfeng had probably just woken up and was still a little dazed. After roughly a minute, he slowly sat up.
At that moment, he also discovered the awkward position the two of them were in.
“Sorry.”
After saying that, he helped Nan Yu stand up, then sat down again.
Nan Yu discreetly rubbed his stomach.
It had felt a little ticklish when Yu Lanfeng rubbed against him just now. And Yu Lanfeng like this had a very strong gap moe. Nan Yu thought it was quite nice.
But what needed to be worried about still had to be worried about.
“Marshal, forgive me for speaking frankly, but your condition is very bad. Extremely bad!”
Yu Lanfeng fell silent.
Nan Yu said, “It’s as if you’ve never had a Mental Power User remove contamination for you before. But that’s impossible. You founded a legion and became a Marshal. You’ve fought until now. If no Mental Power User had ever helped you, then it would be impossible...”
“No.”
Nan Yu froze slightly. “Hm?”
Yu Lanfeng said, “I have never had a Mental Power User remove Mental Contamination for me.”
Nan Yu’s eyes widened in shock. “Impossible... Then how did you...”
How had he held on until now?
Yu Lanfeng said, “I’m rather special. Can you keep it secret?”
Nan Yu thought about how Yu Lanfeng knew his secret of possessing Nianshen Grass, while he was also about to learn one of Yu Lanfeng’s secrets.
Both of them knowing one of the other’s secrets...
That sounded rather exciting?
“Sure. Don’t worry. My mouth is very tight.”
Yu Lanfeng said, “I’ve always been very different from ordinary Ability Users. The Mental Contamination in my Mental Sea slowly decreases by itself as time passes.”
Nan Yu’s eyes suddenly widened. “What? What? Really? Then wouldn’t you not need Mental Power Users? Then how did you still end up like that...”
Yu Lanfeng was silent for a moment.
“There have been a lot of things recently...”
Or rather, he had actually always been in this kind of state.
When he was about to fail, he would stop for a while. Once he was alright again, he would run around everywhere, then repeat the cycle over and over.
Although this time’s overturn had been somewhat sudden and unexpected, perhaps it was also a good opportunity to close the distance with Nan Yu.
He thought of his older sister’s advice and nagging.
He had found it annoying before, but now he felt that all of it made sense.
“Can you help me?”
Can you help me...
Can you help me...
Can you help me...
Right now, Nan Yu’s mind was completely filled with this sentence. Before his brain could react, his body reacted first.
“Sure! Of course I can!”
Only after saying that did he realize what he had said.
But he did not regret it either, because that was exactly what he thought.
Since he had already said it, he might as well go all the way.
“Then let’s start from today. You have time now anyway, right? One hour. I’ll remove Mental Contamination for you for one hour. I think you’ll feel much more comfortable afterward.”
“Enduring the pain of your Mental Sea churning every moment must be very hard, right?”
Yu Lanfeng did not speak, but Nan Yu knew that it must be true.
“One hour?”
Yu Lanfeng nodded without even thinking.
Nan Yu slowly stood up and walked behind him. Just as he was about to place his hands on both sides of Yu Lanfeng’s head, Yu Lanfeng stopped him.
Nan Yu said, “Hm?”
Yu Lanfeng pointed at the sofa beside them.
“Let’s go over there.”
Nan Yu’s face turned a little red, but he still nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Sorry.
After thinking about it, he decided to keep the matter of projecting his mental power externally hidden for now.
After Nan Yu sat down on the sofa, Yu Lanfeng lay down on it, his head resting on Nan Yu’s legs.
Feeling the weight on his thighs, Nan Yu took a deep breath...
Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper!!
He began focusing on removing Yu Lanfeng’s Mental Contamination.
To be honest, Yu Lanfeng’s Mental Contamination belonged to the extremely stubborn kind.
Ability Users who frequently had Mental Contamination removed would never have this kind of problem in their Mental Sea, because all the Mental Contamination would be newly produced, making it relatively easy to remove.
But the Mental Contamination on Yu Lanfeng’s side seemed as though it had already taken root there.
Although the amount of Mental Contamination was the same, uprooting it completely was truly troublesome!
But this did not stump Nan Yu.
It was just somewhat time-consuming.
In one hour, if it had been someone else, Nan Yu could have removed the same amount of Mental Contamination completely.
But with Yu Lanfeng, he could only remove around five percent.
It was truly difficult.
However, after Yu Lanfeng opened his eyes, his complexion visibly looked much better.
Nan Yu asked, “Marshal, how do you feel?”
Yu Lanfeng looked deeply at him.
“I feel very good. You’re very impressive.”
Nan Yu said, “As long as you feel good. In the future, whenever you have time, you can contact me. I can help you.”
Yu Lanfeng nodded and did not refuse.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Nan Yu said, “Sure.”
He smiled and said, “Then let’s continue eating. Oh, right. Marshal definitely can’t eat the Ability Beast meat from earlier anymore. Give all of it to me.”
Although he could not eat this much, he could pack it up and take it away!
Yu Lanfeng looked at the dishes on the table.
If he could not eat Ability Beast meat, then he could only eat the vegetarian dishes.
But he felt very good right now, and he was in a good mood, so he did not think it mattered.
In the end, when they left Zhenxiu Pavilion, two and a half hours had already passed since they arrived.
Nan Yu had people send large and small packages back home, while he brought a portion with him back to Yang Zhou’s home.
But when he returned to Yang Zhou’s residence, he found that no one was home.
“Yang Zhou?”
He walked inside and checked the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and other places, but did not see Yang Zhou anywhere.
He sent Yang Zhou a communication request, but even when the system automatically hung up at the end, Yang Zhou still did not answer.
“Where did Yang Zhou go...”
Nan Yu had an ominous feeling in his heart.
In the end, he contacted a teacher at school. After all, this time, he and Yang Zhou had separated at school...
“Teacher? I’m Nan Yu. I have a question to ask you.”
“Nan Yu? Go ahead. If I know, I’ll definitely tell you.”
“I’ve been staying with Yang Zhou for the past two days. Now I’m back at the residence, but Yang Zhou isn’t here. I tried contacting him, but I can’t reach him. I wanted to ask, when I left school, was Yang Zhou still at school? Do you know who he was with?”
The teacher said, “Sorry, Student Nan Yu. I don’t know about that either. After class ended, I left directly. I didn’t pay attention to what happened afterward. You can ask your classmates.”
