Chapter 412 - 9.31 Second Blue Star - Life-saving Talismans
Wen Ya felt the time was moving too fast at that moment. He is a father that loves his family the most and this includes his three children. Asking him to choose whom to save between his eldest son and only daughter, he couldn't do so. Wen Shi was enjoying his ugly changes of expression to this lunatic, if he couldn't get what he wanted, he would make sure that those who got what he wanted would not end up happy.
Wen Shi laughed and said, "Either way you will lose one if you focus on none or if you focus on one person the other one would still die. Hahahaha~"
The laughter of Wen Shi had flared the rage and hatred in Wen Ya's heart. He couldn't stop himself from beating up his half-brother so much that he almost killed him if not for the police stopping him on time. Just as he was pulled back by the police away from Wen Shi, two yellow strips of paper with red words on them suddenly glowed in golden light and floated before their eyes. It left everyone who witnessed such a scene to be dumbfounded.
Within the stunned crowd, a Celestial Master hired by Wen Ya's wife couldn't exclaim when he saw those two floating talismans with a golden glow.
WHOSH~
"What the hell!? Where on earth did you get these precious things!? Isn't this a life-saving talisman!!?? Moreover a customized one. Who are Wen Ke and Wen Rou?" said a white beard Celestial Master.
Wen Ya was still shocked but still answered the question, "I-I bought it somewhere. It was from the same person who told me that the cause of my bad luck is Wen Shi and made these two talismans then asked my eldest son and daughter's name. Are these things real?"
"You are kidding me? Those things aren't real!?" yelled Wen Shi as he was denying the scene of two papers floating in front of their eyes.
The Old Celestial Master snorted, "It is more than real? These two Talismans are made with Divine energy. You either met a Deity or the immortal himself. So jealous, just with these things who can have an extra life, though these seem to be made for your two children. No need to worry, this is extremely effective!" As he finished speaking, the yellow talisman with Wan Ke's name turned to ash which once again surprised everyone.
BURNS~
Wen Ya panicked when he saw that, "W-Wen Ke!?" He was about to go crazy when he saw the talisman burn but his phone suddenly rang.
RING~
He only answered it because the caller is the same bodyguard on his eldest son's side. "Hello?"
{Master something unbelievable had happened!? You wouldn't unless you watched it yourself. I've sent the CCTV recording to you. Please don't worry the Eldest Young Master is saved. The assassin was already captured and we are on our way back home.}
Bewildered Wen Ya's only response is, "Okay."
Once the call ended, Wen Ya played the video recording sent to him by the bodyguard on the side of Wen Ke. Everyone had silently watched the video and saw the scene of the bullet stopping right beside the temple of Wen Ke's head as if some unknown power had stopped the bullet from reaching Wen Ke. Only when the latter had moved away from that the bullet had to move past him. In that instant, the hidden bodyguards that were tasked to protect Wen Ke had surrounded him and covered him while the other half had gone to capture the sniper. Now that the shot was made, the location of the sniper can be traced.
The white-beard Celestial Master commented, "No wonder the talisman for Wen Ke turned to ash. It was already used up."
Unexpectedly it was Hou Feng that was coincidentally called to help Wen Ya, his reactions were always as honest as, "Shit! For real... these talismans are awesome. Maybe it could help us look for the young lady as well." he started poking the other floating talisman with his index finger. "Hey~ can you help us look for Lady Wen Rou?"
Another policeman said, "Hahaha~ Stop playing chief. Though the talisman is amazing it doesn't have a brain to think."
"Actually, we can use it to trace her whereabouts with it. The medium is already their bloodline and birth name. Why didn't I think of this in the first place!?" said the white-beared Celestial Master as he started chanting words they couldn't understand while looking at the floating talisman. Then under their gaze, the talisman flew by itself, "What are you looking at!? Follow it! This old man can't run."
Hou Feng and his group followed the flying talisman which flew in the same building not far from them. But before they could enter the building his team collectively trips and somewhere in the building where the talisman had flown something had exploded and the third floor of the abandoned building was caught in the fire. Seeing this scene Wen Shi laughs aloud as if he is enjoying the scene. The video of his nephew being saved by some unknown energy had left him depressed. But seeing the building's third floor engulfs in fire, he thought that he had at least killed his niece to make his half-brother suffer.
HAHAHAHAHA~
"I still won in the end!! Hahaha~ Wen Ya still lost a daughter!" said Wen Shi he laughed like a maniac.
Wen Ya was shocked at first but his eyes turned red when he looked at the burning floor of that abandoned building. Just based on the words of Wen Shi, it seems that his daughter, Wen Rou was in there. When his tears were about to stroll down a golden light floated from the burning floor. The talisman that flew just then was now hovering around a fainted young lady whose hand and feet were tied with a rope and blindfolded, she seems to be unconscious for a long time. A golden light protected her from the fire, heat, and explosion. She floated downwards towards the group of Hou Feng and the rest. Once Wen Rou had landed safely within Hou Feng's arms, the golden light that protected her faded and like the talisman of Wen Ke, this talisman also turned to ash under everyone's eyes.
The white-beared Celestial Master commented, "Oh~ now your daughter is also saved. Those talismans are as effective as I thought they were. Thankfully, I made it fly over to the owner of the name but even without me doing so, she would be protected regardless of the distance. No, I am sure that you might have bought things for an immortal. Can you please tell this old man where you bought it?"
Wen Ya had no time to answer the old man as he had already run over to check on his daughter. Once he saw him open her eyes, he couldn't stop himself from hugging his daughter. Wen Rou who was frightened by the kidnapping of her own uncle had cried within her father's embrace.
"Dad? Wuwuwu~ Uncle was the one who kidnapped me~ Then after he knocked me out with drugs, I didn't know what happened afterward. I'm so scared." said Wen Rou while crying.
Wen Ya coaxed his daughter to calm down. "Don't cry. Everything is fine now. Go home and see your mom okay? Dad still needs to talk to the police."
"Sniff* Okay!" said Wen Rou.
Not long after Hou Feng sends a few of his team with her to escort her home. He remained in the area as he needed to clean up the abandoned building that had just exploded. Wen Shi witnessed the mystifying scene of Wen Rou floating in thin air with a golden veil protecting her from harm. Seeing that his plans had all failed and he was captured, he went mad and started yelling the words 'Impossible' countless times. Hou Feng ordered this man to be thrown in jail.
Hou Feng said, "Don't worry Uncle Wen. I will make sure he can't bail out of jail." It seems that Wen Ya had a connection with the Mayor's family as his Wen Clan is a wealthy family itself.
"Thank you, Feng'er. By the way, what happened to your team just now? Did you all really trip or did you do that on purpose?" asked Wen Ya in confusion.
An embarrassed expression appeared on Hou Feng's face and said, "Actually Uncle Wen, I also don't know what just happened. All of us indeed just tripped collectively and the explosion took place coincidentally after that?" he said.
Just based on his nephew's confused expression and honest personality, he is obviously not lying. Then the two noticed that old Celestial master with a white beard named Jin Ye looking at the cute snowflake charm hanging on his waist. He and his team had all chosen to wear this lucky charm as a group.
Celestial Master Jin Ye spoke, "Hmm~ this aura. It seems a bit similar to the ones those talismans possessed but it wasn't as concentrated as those customized life-saving talismans. Is this Snowflake-shaped charm worn by your whole team?"
"Ah! Yes/ This is a Safety and lucky charm given to us by a young man whom we saved before. He had given my team this charm. Is there something wrong with it, Master Jin?" asked Hou Feng with a frown. He believes in his eyes that Student Xue Hua is a good person.
Celestial Master Jin Ye said, "This is a good amulet. It had focused on defense and luck. It fits your team's ambiance the most. The aura coming from it is familiar to the ones on the life-saving talismans just now. The creator must be the same person. Amazing~ this person is truly talented. He might be a real immortal. I definitely wanted to meet this person!"
"Impossible. The one who gave this amulet to my team is just a young man. Though he had this weird atmosphere around him as if he was desolated from the world itself. He is just a teenager who hasn't graduated high school yet!" said Hou Feng.
Wen Ya asked, "Is it a young lad who possessed short hair that is white as snow and irises as if it was made from pure gold?"
"Uncle Wen, you know Student Xue?" asked Hou Feng.
A smile appeared on Wen Ya's face and said, "Meet him once. He was the person who read my fortune and gave me those talismans that saved your cousin just now."
"Hey! I wanted to meet this little immortal as well!" said Celestial Master Jin Ye.

Back to reality.
The first to approach the group was the three brothers. They were carrying sweets like donuts and fruit juice for the three people in the group. The one who led was Su Wan who happily went to the table with a silly smile on his face.
Su Wan spoke, "Great Masters, Young Ancestor~ We can visit again. We bought some donuts and juice for you."
Master Sen Ling ignored them while Master Xie Ye welcomed them with a friendly smile.
"Oh~ Xiao Wan, you brought snacks for these old men today again~ Thank you as always. You came at the right time. The Little Brat had just returned." said Master Yi who was already opening the box of donuts for himself.
Yan Ke and Wang Liu followed after and politely greeted them. "A pleasant afternoon to the Young Ancestor and the Great Masters."
"Hm~ you three are always together. Did you do What I told you to do?" asked Master Ling.
Wang Liu politely replied, "Yes. This one had made sure that the Ancestral Mansion of my family was kept maintained for a few generations. I didn't renovate it but sent honest people to clean the place."
"Good. Your ancestors reside there waiting for reincarnation. You should make sure that place is quiet and don't let outsiders come." said Master Ling.
The three nod their heads in any words the Masters had spoken. Of course, Wen Ya had joined their conversation with a greeting as well. But unlike the other three who haven't reached their forties or fifties, Wen Ya could control his emotions well and remain calm at all times. His eyes glowed when it landed on Xue Hua.
Wen Ya greets, "Hello Master Yi and Master Ling. Young Ancestor, I finally got to meet you. I've always wanted to thank you for the life-saving talismans you had given to me. My son and daughter had safely come home that day. Thank you so much!"
"It is nothing. I've asked to read your fortune and you've agreed to it. That's all. It is an opportunity you had grasped yourself." said Xue Hua with a gentle smile as before.
The guests had successfully joined the table and shared the snacks with each other. Wen Ya didn't come empty-handed and brought some tea snacks in the shape of flowers. It looks simple yet it looks beautiful. He had also given some tea leaves which the two Great Masters enjoyed more instead of fruit juice. The juices were shared with the young generations including Xue Hua who doesn't drink bitter beverages though he enjoyed the sweets in flower shapes. There are lotus, plum blossom, tulips, and more. It's eye candy and enjoyable to eat as it's delicious itself.
