During the summer, catching a cold from the heat or from the air conditioning may sound serious, but it’s not actually very dangerous.
However, from Shen Ye’s tone, it seemed that something was wrong with Mo Xiaoyi’s older brother… Mo Xiaoyi immediately became nervous.
Seeing the emotional state of his fiancée, Ye Tangdi quickly asked, “Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?”
Shen Ye saw that both of them were anxious and shook his head, saying, “It’s nothing serious. I’ll draw a talisman for your eldest brother, and you can take it to him today.”
As he spoke, he took out a peach wood brush and cinnabar and started drawing the talisman in front of everyone.
Xu Sisi often saw Shen Ye drawing talismans at home and didn’t think much of it. Xu Ce had also seen it a few times but wasn’t that curious. However, it was the first time for Mr. Wang and Mo Xiaoyi, and they immediately looked at him.
Shen Ye didn’t hide it and allowed them to watch.
This was the first talisman he drew after replenishing a part of his soul, and his spiritual power had become stronger, resulting in more powerful talismans. Moreover, this time, in order to increase the effectiveness of the talisman, he also used techniques during the drawing process.
After finishing, he handed the talisman to Mo Xiaoyi.
Mo Xiaoyi respectfully took it and thanked him softly.
Shen Ye said, “Later, you can take the talisman back and have your brother carry it with him. His cold will be better tomorrow. Once he recovers, let him come over here, and I’ll help him examine his destiny.”
Mo Xiaoyi didn’t think much about it and immediately agreed, “Okay.”
Her brother used to be sick all the time when he was young, and even though he’s healthy now, her family still worries, fearing that he might suffer from constant illness like when he was young. If her sister-in-law can help her brother examine his destiny and confirm his condition, she would be genuinely happy.
Ye Tangdi also thanked Shen Ye on behalf of his eldest brother.
Shen Ye waved his hand and said, “You’re welcome. Keep helping me write the invitations.”
He did want to personally write the invitations, but there were too many guests, and it was his and Ye Ze’s wedding after all, so he casually dealt with it.
Mo Xiaoyi smiled and signed Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s names with the pen again.
In the evening, when they returned to their room, Ye Ze suddenly asked in a low voice, “Is there something wrong with Dashi’s health?”
“Dashi?” Shen Ye looked at him, “Who?”
“Mo Xiaoyi’s brother, his name is Mo Dashi.” Ye Ze explained, then he lifted Shen Ye horizontally and carried him to the bed.
Shen Ye said, “…Their parents really named them casually.”
Mo Dashi, Mo Xiaoyi, at first listen, it sounded like randomly generated names by a machine.
Ye Ze smiled and shook his head, “Their mother’s name is Hao Shiyi, and Dashi and Xiaoyi are derived from her name.”
Shen Ye said, “…When you put it that way, it sounds quite romantic.”
Ye Ze gently held his hand, “I grew up with Dashi as well. He used to get sick frequently when he was young. Me and Amu used to accompany him in the hospital.”
Amu was Shen Shimu, and their group of childhood friends had a good relationship.
Shen Ye knew that men worry, so after thinking for a moment, he said, “I looked at Xiaoyi’s face, and she will become wealthy and prosperous, but her brother’s palace of siblings is dark, which means he will face a major calamity this year, and if he doesn’t overcome it, he might die.”
Ye Ze slightly furrowed his brows but remained silent.
Shen Ye hugged his waist and said, “Don’t worry, I have a way to extend his life. I’ll know the specific situation once he comes tomorrow and I examine his face.”
Ye Ze gently gazed at him, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“Are you treating me like a stranger?” Shen Ye glared at him unhappily.
Ye Ze chuckled, cupping his face, “Not a stranger. I think my little one is so amazing.”
Shen Ye was pleased by the praise and used both hands to pinch the man’s ears, “Tell me, where did you learn these sweet words!”
Ye Ze smiled but didn’t respond and leaned in to seal the child’s lips.
Some things, when you have someone you love, you will naturally understand.
Before, Ye Ze was busy managing the Ye family and didn’t understand these sweet and affectionate things. But after meeting Shen Ye, even without anyone teaching him, he understood on his own. He only wanted to give the best to his child and use the sweetest words to coax his beloved.
After washing up, the two embraced each other and had a peaceful sleep.
Shen Ye actually wanted to drive, but Ye Ze ruthlessly rejected his proposal. They had been busy all day and night yesterday, and today they were fooling around in the car. Even if Shen Ye could alleviate fatigue and pain, Ye Ze was still afraid that the child wouldn’t be able to handle it in the backseat.
In the end, Shen Ye could only say a long goodnight before being embraced by the man and falling asleep.
The next day, Shen Ye still felt a little aggrieved as he sat on the bed, looking at the man with a mournful expression. “Little cabbage turned yellow in the field, just got married and already tossed over the wall…”
Ye Ze: “…” It rhymes quite well.
He lifted Shen Ye horizontally and walked towards the bathroom. “Little cabbage, it’s time to freshen up. Wash yourself till you’re sparkling and tender, ready to be devoured by your husband.”
Shen Ye’s straight legs hung on the man’s waist, and he exclaimed in disbelief, “Wow, uncle, you’ve become naughty. You’ve even learned how to act like a hooligan!”
Ye Ze kissed the tip of his nose. “Only for you.”
Being with the child for a long time, it was hard for him not to change.
Shen Ye’s heart thumped with excitement, and he tightly wrapped his hands around the man’s neck. “How are you so sweet!”
Ye Ze chuckled and caressed his face. “I’m not as sweet without you.”
His child was the sweetest in the whole world.
Shen Ye was delighted by the praise and couldn’t help but think of doing something joyful.
This time, Ye Ze indulged him.
After all, the child looked so sweet and happy with sleepy eyes, and it made his heart flutter too.
Fortunately, their family members knew they were newlyweds and would definitely be lovey-dovey, so it had already been agreed that they wouldn’t have breakfast with the family. Instead, the servants would bring it to their courtyard.
By the time they finished eating, it was already eleven in the morning.
They held hands and walked to the front hall of the courtyard, where they saw a stranger sitting on the sofa. He looked very similar to Mo Xiaoyi, so he should be Mo Xiaoyi’s older brother, Mo Dashi.
Xu Sisi greeted them, “Mo Xiaoyi’s brother has been here for almost two hours. Please help him with his physiognomy.” She stared at Shen Ye’s rosy lips and whispered in his ear, “Be careful. You have magical powers, and your body can handle it, but your husband is just an ordinary person. He can’t really drive every night for pleasure.”
Shen Ye replied, “I appreciate your concern, but let me solemnly tell you that my husband is not an ordinary person either.”
Xu Sisi: “?”
Shen Ye said, “Didn’t I tell you?”
Xu Sisi stated firmly, word by word, “No, you didn’t.”
“Oh, my husband has a special constitution too. He might be even more remarkable than me.” Shen Ye casually made up.
In fact, it wasn’t entirely made up. Ye Ze was born with a purple aura, immune to any Taoist techniques, and he could even repair Shen Ye’s soul. It was easy to tell he was extraordinary.
Xu Sisi’s gaze fell on Ye Ze and then turned back to Shen Ye, looking at him suspiciously. “Are you kidding me?”
Shen Ye shook his head. “I never lie.”
Xu Sisi recalled and realized that Shen Ye had never lied because he despised lying.
“So it’s true?” Xu Sisi was shocked and looked at Ye Ze again.
Apart from being exceptionally handsome and having a noble temperament, there didn’t seem to be anything special about Mr. Ye.
Shen Ye nodded.
“Then can he perform magic, draw talismans, and set up formations?” Xu Sisi kept asking.
Shen Ye replied, “…I haven’t taught him yet.”
“Oh.” Xu Sisi thought that even if Mr. Ye could draw talismans and perform magic, he wouldn’t abandon the Ye family to become a Taoist priest. So she didn’t ask further.
Just then, Xu Ce walked over and said, “Master, Mo Dashi has been waiting for you.”
Since becoming Shen Ye’s disciple, Xu Ce’s knowledge had been rapidly expanding. Not only did he move into the Ye family’s residence, but he also became friends with Ye Tangdi and Mo Xiaoyi. Now, he even knew the Young Master of the Mo family… Xu Ce and Mr. Wang were still a little dazed.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze walked hand in hand towards Mo Dashi.
Mo Dashi immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile. “Elder brother, sister-in-law.”
They were a group of childhood friends, and Ye Ze was the oldest. Everyone called him elder brother, and Mo Dashi was no exception.
Perhaps due to his recent cold, Mo Dashi’s complexion appeared pale.
“Sit.” Ye Ze held Shen Ye’s hand and sat on the sofa. He said, “There’s no need to be so polite between brothers.”
Mo Dashi nodded with a smile and sat down as well.
“Sister-in-law, can you help me check on my brother?” Mo Xiaoyi asked anxiously.
The Mo family had always been harmonious, and her life had been peaceful and smooth. Even the fiancé chosen for her by her family was someone she liked. She felt like the luckiest woman in the world. The only worry she had was about her brother’s health. When she decided to become a doctor, she hoped that if her brother ever fell ill, she could be of help.
Unfortunately, she later pursued clinical medicine, and her role in her brother’s case was not particularly significant.
If Master Shen could calculate her brother’s fate and determine his condition, even if her brother’s fate was not good, their family could make preparations in advance.
Moreover, she had great faith in her sister-in-law’s abilities. Even if her brother’s situation was dire, she believed her sister-in-law could save him.
Shen Ye’s gaze fell on Mo Dashi’s face, and after a moment, he said, “You’re about to be thirty years old, right?”
Mo Dashi was taken aback but quickly replied, “Yes.”
“You will face a major disaster at the age of thirty. Your health will gradually decline over the next two years, and when you turn thirty, you will experience a serious illness. If you overcome it, you will live, but if you don’t, it will be the end.” Shen Ye paused and continued, “The recent cold was just the beginning. You will likely suffer from various illnesses in the next two years.”
As his words fell, the expressions of Mo Dashi and Mo Xiaoyi changed. Mo Dashi was surprised, while Mo Xiaoyi felt both heartache and panic.
Even Ye Tangdi looked anxious and nervously looked at Shen Ye, asking, “Sister-in-law, is this… is this true?”
Shen Ye glanced at him and then looked at the Mo siblings. “It’s true. Your elder brother was born on a Yin year, Yin month, and Yin day. His destiny is peculiar. In fact, if he hadn’t been born into a wealthy family like the Mo family, which could suppress his fate, he might have died in childhood.”
Tears uncontrollably streamed down Mo Xiaoyi’s face.
She wasn’t someone who cried easily, but the thought that her brother might not live past thirty made her unbearably sad. And when she remembered how her brother had often been sent to the hospital as a child, getting injections and taking medication, enduring so much pain… she felt even more…
Xu Sisi and the others in the living room also heard the pitiful situation of Mo Dashi and couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
Ye Ze’s brows furrowed slightly as he held Shen Ye’s hand and whispered, “Is there a way to change his destiny?”
Upon hearing this question, everyone looked at Shen Ye.
Mo Xiaoyi, in particular, gazed at him with anticipation and caution.
“Yes, it’s possible,” Shen Ye shrugged. “After the banquet is over, I’ll spend two days making a safety amulet for him. He can carry it with him. For now, let him wear the talisman paper I gave him yesterday. It will also help keep him away from illness.”
Mo Dashi’s situation was special. Shen Ye had never seen someone born on a day with such heavy Yin energy.
But it wasn’t a particularly big deal. It would just require some spiritual energy to draw the symbols and set up the amulet. However, with his soul almost restored and Ye Ze’s purple aura supporting him, it was completely manageable.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoyi heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed Mo Dashi’s wrist. “Brother, that’s great!”
Mo Dashi nodded and looked at Shen Ye earnestly. “Thank you.”
Shen Ye replied, “No need to thank me. You’re my husband’s brother and my sister-in-law’s sibling. Of course, I have to help you.”
Mo Xiaoyi was deeply moved and kept saying, “Sister-in-law, you’re so kind… thank you…”
Ye Ze gazed deeply at Shen Ye and, in front of everyone, kissed him.
Shen Ye nestled in the man’s embrace with a mischievous smile. “Are you moved?”
Ye Ze caressed his face. “Hmm.”
“Then let’s kiss again.” Shen Ye shamelessly displayed their affection in front of others.
Mainly because Grandpa Ye and Grandma Shen were not present, he had no reservations about being affectionate.
Ye Ze chuckled softly and kissed him once more.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this display of affection.
They had just been discussing Mo Dashi’s destiny seriously, and in the blink of an eye, these two were kissing…
Xu Sisi coughed heavily. “Be mindful of your surroundings.”
Shen Ye glanced at her. “Oh.” He showed no emotional response whatsoever.
Xu Sisi: “…”
