Back For My Daughter

As they were driving back home, Ye Qian sat right behind the driver's seat.

It was unknown whether he had thought about something and did so or not.

A large expanse of open area widely surrounded Shenya University.

The campus was pretty large and was in fact not any less than a small city in itself making the students not need to go far away if they needed anything.

There were a few small shops around and also a few small restaurants close to the campus making them not feel any less comfortable than living in the city itself.

But after passing the university the area was quite barren and completely empty.

Other than the highway, there was barely anything.

And on the road drove a taxi which currently had three people.

The driver who was driving the taxi and a couple who sat at the back.

There was a grim look on Ye Qian's face while Yuan Meng had her head rested on Ye Qian's shoulder with her eyes lightly closed.

Just as the driver was driving at a normal pace neither in hurry nor slow, something flashed past the road in front of them making the driver quickly apply the brakes.

"SCREECH"

Yuan Meng who was leisurely resting her head on Ye Qian's shoulder was shocked by the sudden application of brake as she almost stumbled forward hitting the back of the seat.

But Ye Qian was fast as he lightly held her head with one of his hands and then supported her shoulder with another.

"What the heck!"

The driver spat as he checked the road ahead.

He had seen a shadow flash right in front of the road just a moment ago and that was also why he quickly applied the brakes.

But now that he took a glance, there was nothing at all.

The driver was sure that he was not hallucinating since he had clearly seen a black figure flash past the glass of the taxi.

"Is everything alright?"

Ye Qian asked.

Just like the driver, he had also seen a flash of black for an instance, but then he didn't have the time to notice since Yuan Meng would get harmed if he were to focus more.

"There was a flash of black figure on the road just now."

The driver gritted his teeth and a clicking sound came from his hand as if he took something in his hand.

"Hmm."

Ye Qian nodded as he extended his arm to the driver's seat and placed it on the driver's shoulder.

He then looked at the rearview mirror from which the driver could see him and the same for him as well and pointed his eyes at Yuan Meng who was rubbing her eyes.

The driver nodded and brought his hands back to the steering wheel while breathing a mouthful of air as if to calm himself down.

"What was that just now?"

Yuan Meng rubbed her eyes and asked Ye Qian with a serious look on her face.

Since Ye Qian had thought her the Spirit Eye, Yuan Meng's power of sight could be said to have surpassed what a human eye could have.

And although Ye Qian had been focused on supporting her, the jerk of the car was enough to wake Yuan Meng and let her see what had just flashed past the taxi just a moment ago.

"Qian'er it...it was someone, someone in dark clothes."

Yuan Meng exclaimed as she remembered the figure and gripped Ye Qian's hand tightly.

Although she didn't clearly see the features of the thing, she was clear that it was a person with slumped back and tattered clothes which were black.

And just a look at the figure made her heart feel frightened as if she was looking at something that was horrifying enough to make her lose her cool.

"Mengmeng, it's alright, I am here."

Ye Qian sighed in his heart, from the expressions on Yuan Meng's face he could clearly see how much frightened she was, he had never seen her in fear.

Of course, the fear caused due to cockroaches and lizards didn't come in this.

He nodded at the driver.

"Drive quick."

Even if Ye Qian could fight the thing right now, he still had to be careful to not get Yuan Meng hurt, so it was important for him to get Yuan Meng to a proper place where she could still be safe even if he were to clash with the person.

Although Ye Qian knew that there were two more people in the car right now, but he didn't want them to come out and show themselves since there was something that he was worried about even more.

The person was definitely someone who had Corpse Qi, so it was more likely that the person either cultivated an evil method.

And for such people, it was not easy for them to attack someone without even knowing them with these evil energies.

And right now, given Ye Qian's condition, it was hard for him to have his attention diverged into so many things.

If the person were to use any Corpse Qi to harm Yuan Meng or others when he was being confronted, then it would be impossible for him to help the situation out.

So right now his focus was to bring Yuan Meng to a safe place to that he could the chances of her being harmed the least.

And other than that, Ye Qian was also not willing to let anyone among the guards to be harmed since they were the only people who had been protecting her and Little Qiqi all these years when he was away from them.

In fact, he didn't doubt that they would continue to do so even if he had not returned.

And all this they had been doing was just because Le Zheng had promised Yuan Meng's grandfather.

If he wanted then there was no reason for him to do so since Yuan Meng right now was not the young lady of the great Yuan family and had left the family long ago.

But still, he upheld his promise.
