Ye Yichen couldn’t lie after being hypnotized. So, the Heart of Time was really in Lu Xian’s body.
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue became even more worried about Lu Xian’s safety after confirming their conjecture even though they had already guessed that things might turn out like this.
“How did you obtain this stone? And why did you put it in Auntie’s body?” Chi Jiao stared at Ye Yichen.
Logically speaking, Ye Yichen shouldn’t know about the Heart of Time and shouldn’t know how to use it.
Chi Jiao needed to know the entire story.
Ye Yichen was like a soulless puppet. His eyes were dull as he slowly answered Chi Jiao’s question. “I dug this stone out of someone else’s body. At that time, I was still living overseas. There was a person whose appearance had not changed for more than 10 years among the people I knew. I had always liked to study these strange phenomena, so I thought of a way to destroy that person’s company. Then, I blackmailed him into telling me everything. He was the one who told me that there was a magical stone in his body. This stone can make people immortal.”
“Then, you dug the stone out of that person’s body?” Chi Jiao raised her eyebrows, feeling that this was indeed something Ye Yichen could do.
After all, he was very cruel.
The truth was as Chi Jiao had deduced. Ye Yichen nodded with a dull gaze and continued slowly, “Yes, I dug the stone out of that person’s body. He died the moment I did. I tried to bury the stone in other people’s bodies, but the effect was not obvious. Some people even aged faster because of the stone. I was worried that the stone would bring me side effects, so I didn’t use it on myself…”
“Little heart, what’s going on?” Chi Jiao asked in confusion.
“Master, the Heart of Time is a very magical stone. The Heart of Time can indeed make people immortal, but triggering it requires certain conditions. For example, the user’s life must be on the line when first using it, only then it will recognize you as its master. Otherwise, not only will it have no effect, they might even suffer a backlash if a normal person uses the stone,” the little heart explained.
“Ye Yichen, you’re indeed extremely cunning,” Quan Jue said slowly as he stared at him.
Ye Yichen had obtained such a rare and precious treasure, but he could resist using the stone on himself. Instead, he used it to perform experiments. It was obvious how terrifying and sinister he was.
Unfortunately, Ye Yichen was hypnotized. He couldn’t understand Quan Jue’s sarcasm and could only stare blankly ahead.
“Continue.” Chi Jiao urged Ye Yichen.
Ye Yichen spoke again. He was like a soulless puppet. His emotions remained flat no matter what he said.
“After that, I didn’t dare to experiment with the stone anymore, nor did I dare to use it on myself. I just kept it with me. I happened to save Lu Xian one day. She was seriously injured and was about to die. I wanted to put the stone in her and give it a try.” As Ye Yichen spoke, the muscles at the corner of his lips twitched fiercely, and his expression became pained.
