Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 473 - 471: Who is Behind the Scenes?
Ye Feng couldn't help but be puzzled. The four guards in the courtyard were personally arranged by him, and all of them were at the Martial King Level of cultivation. Although their Realm strength might not be very strong, it was still considerable. After all, even within the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts, the Martial King Realm was sufficient to be in charge of affairs.
At that time, Hong Qingyan didn't quite understand. She insisted that it was just a little infant girl. If no one else knew about her, even if she needed protection, it surely was not necessary to send two Martial Kings. That seemed to her an overreaction.
However, Ye Feng thought that the origins of the little infant girl were quite mysterious, or perhaps there were hidden forces behind her. He was concerned that one day these forces would come knocking, so he prudently arranged for four Martial Kings to protect her.
Under normal circumstances, once one had reached the Martial King Level of cultivation, it was hardly possible to get sick. And even if they did, it was absolutely inconceivable for four of them to get sick at the same time. There was definitely something odd going on, but Ye Feng didn't want to show any signs of concern in front of everyone, so as not to frighten the two ordinary people.
Without raising any suspicion, he looked over the little infant girl, who seemed to be developing well. There was nothing out of the ordinary on the surface, and even with Ye Feng using his spiritual power to continuously probe, he still didn't find anything suspicious. Of course, this was also because Ye Feng dared not use his spiritual power to directly invade the Sea of Consciousness of the little infant girl, otherwise he might have discovered something.
After all, the child was still an infant girl. If he was not careful, the invasion of spiritual power could very likely turn her into an idiot on the spot.
Long Nannan quite liked the little infant girl, and so did Hong Qingyan. Both were competing to hold her. Watching this scene, Ye Feng considered the possibility that the little infant girl was purely absorbing his Luck, and not that of others?
Unfortunately, even though he had the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, he could only discern his own condition and not detect anyone else's luck!
Taking advantage of the two women's attention being on the infant, Ye Feng slowly walked through the living room and bedroom to have a closer look and found nothing unusual. Anyone unaware of the situation would definitely think this was just a very ordinary farmhouse, with the only difference being that it was slightly more elaborately decorated.
Ye Feng didn't want to stay there long because being in close proximity to the little infant girl for any extended period made him feel uncomfortable all over. He even felt a slight agitation stirring within him. So seeing that Hong Qingyan and Long Nannan were almost done playing, he quickly suggested they leave.
"Remember to take good care of her, okay? Later, I'll send a few more people over," Ye Feng instructed at the doorway.
The two were just ordinary aunts without any cultivation, and they nodded repeatedly, considering Ye Feng, the well-off man, had given them substantial compensation.
As soon as he got into the car, Ye Feng ordered, "Xiao Chuanqi, you go and take those four sick guards to the Divine Doctor Sect."

"As you command, Master!" Xiao Chuanqi immediately got down from the passenger seat and left in another vehicle.
The attentive Hong Qingyan seemed to have noticed something and couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother Ye, have you discovered something?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Nothing much, just that it seems queer for four people to fall ill at the same time. So I want to check it out. Don't overthink it. There's nothing wrong."
Hong Qingyan didn't ask any further, but the perceptive her clearly sensed something was amiss, just like the last time Ye Feng suddenly suggested taking the little infant girl out of the Northern Cloud Residence. But she too refrained from asking more questions. As long as it was Ye Feng's decision, she would support it without hesitation.
The carefree Long Nannan didn't care about any of that and clapped her hands cheerfully, "Great, then let's go to the Divine Doctor Sect. It's been a while since I've visited Miss Yu Feiyu. I almost forgot about her. I was actually thinking of learning medicine from her."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng just shook his head and chuckled inwardly, thinking that it would be a wonder if this mischievous girl seriously learned medicine. When it came to anything new, Long Nannan's enthusiasm was always high, and she would easily take a liking to it, but that enthusiasm usually faded after a couple of days.
Presumably, Yu Feiyu of the Divine Doctor Sect had noticed this too and eventually settled for giving a perfunctory lesson, rather than truly intending to teach this carefree girl who knew only how to enjoy herself.
After half an hour, they arrived at the Divine Doctor Sect. Xiao Chuanqi and others had also arrived, and Ye Feng gestured, "Qingyan, you two go to the backyard and look for Yu Feiyu to play, I still have some things to deal with."
Hong Qingyan nodded slightly, and then the two women turned around and walked into the Inner Courtyard. As for the managing elders of the Divine Doctor Sect, they had long recognized Ye Feng, knowing he was not only the Northern King and the head of the Imperial Martial Academy but also their Valley of the Medicine God's future son-in-law, so their attitudes were quite favorable.
"Bring them in!" ordered Xiao Chuanqi with a wave of his hand, and immediately eight people carried in four sickly middle-aged men.
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but be startled. He had thought these four were merely ill, but he had never imagined this situation. These four individuals didn't look right at all, and at this moment, three of the elders from the Divine Doctor Sect also noticed the anomaly and gathered around, though they said nothing.
