Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 112 Hidden Disease

Lin Yue coldly observed the scene unfolding before her, her face as cold as ice. She knew perfectly well that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before everyone knew about the engagement that she so utterly loathed. The thought made her furrow her brow, her heart filled with irritation.

Based on her years of in-depth research and understanding of those overpowered protagonist storylines, once this news is exposed, the plot that awaits her can be described as incredibly diverse.

For example, those indiscriminate and jealous women would definitely take the opportunity to frame her;

And that rich, arrogant, and domineering young lady might send someone to kidnap her to blackmail Ye Chen.

Not to mention the Zhou family, who have always been eyeing her covetously. They will definitely use that marriage contract as a pretext to force her to return to the Zhou family... Although Lin Yue believes she has the ability to handle these troubles, they have seriously affected her original life.

Lin Yue decided to ask the school for a few days off; she needed to resolve this matter and didn't want to wait a moment longer.

As soon as the bell rang, the entire classroom erupted in noise. Many female students rushed in one direction—towards where Ye Chen was.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen was surrounded by a crowd, three layers deep. The students chattered amongst themselves, their voices rising and falling.

"Ye Chen, you were amazing just now! Those thugs looked fierce, but I never expected them to be so vulnerable in front of you. You knocked them all down in just a few moves!" A female classmate said with admiration.

The girl next to her chimed in sweetly, "That's right, that's right! Brother Ye Chen is so incredibly handsome!"

Another girl asked curiously, "Ye Chen, I heard those thugs say they were going to kidnap your fiancée. Is that true? And if so, which of the beauties in our class will be so lucky?"

These words immediately caused a stir among the crowd. People whispered and discussed amongst themselves, filled with curiosity and speculation about this mysterious fiancée. Occasionally, envious voices could be heard from the crowd, with one person exclaiming sincerely, "Oh my, whoever is lucky enough to become Brother Ye Chen's fiancée is truly blessed, a fortune they could only accumulate in several lifetimes!" Upon hearing this, those around him nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with longing.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes. Whoever wants such good fortune can have it.

Looking at Ye Chen, who was surrounded in the middle, he was almost entirely surrounded by girls. It has to be said that Ye Chen was quite popular with girls; they were all fawning over him like stars around the moon, chattering and saying all sorts of flattering things.

In contrast, Ye Chen had very little interaction with the boys. Although Ye Chen was incredibly handsome and exceptionally strong, for some reason, he always gave off an unapproachable feeling, as if he were detached from the group.

Take Li Yuetian's good friend Zhao Yang for example. As the math class representative, he always misses Ye Chen's homework when collecting it.

When Zhao Yang asked for the reason, Ye Chen would often reply with a cold expression: "What I, Ye Chen, do has nothing to do with you?" This attitude made Zhao Yang so angry that he wanted to kick him.

Sometimes, the boys in the class would enthusiastically invite Ye Chen to play basketball, but he would immediately ask to make bets, and the stakes were quite high. Over time, the boys in the class became less willing to play with him.

"Ye Chen, which classmate is your fiancée? Tell us quickly! Everyone is very curious!" Liu Ruyan, the class beauty sitting in front of Ye Chen, turned around, blinked her big, watery eyes, and asked in a sweet voice. She had a delicate face and a graceful figure, but her tone clearly carried a hint of jealousy.

"That's right, Ye Chen, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us already!" The other girls chimed in, their faces full of anticipation and curiosity. The classroom erupted in a flurry of chatter.

Faced with everyone's questions, Ye Chen simply smiled and said unhurriedly, "You've got it wrong. My fiancée isn't in the same class as me." His voice was clear and magnetic, captivating listeners. After saying this, he casually lowered his head, pretending to look at the book in his hands, seemingly not intending to say anything more.

Lin Yue was somewhat surprised, thinking that this guy would say her name and make things difficult for her. But this was fine, as it saved her the trouble and explanation.

School was finally over. Lin Yue went to the principal's office to ask for leave. She brought up the Knights Association, and the principal agreed.

When she returned to the classroom after asking the teacher for leave to retrieve her schoolbag, she was surprised to find that there were still other students in the class. The classroom was unusually quiet, with only Ye Chen's figure faintly visible in a corner.

At this moment, Ye Chen wore a polite and gentle smile, but a closer look revealed a subtle fear in his eyes. Although he felt a little apprehensive, the thought that a Kamen Rider must never harm a human reassured him.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, slowly walked towards Lin Yue, and said softly, "Miss Lin Yue, could I have a moment to talk to you?" As he spoke, a smile remained on his lips, showing his friendliness and warmth.

Despite Ye Chen's attempt to strike up a conversation, Lin Yue acted as if she hadn't heard him. She expressionlessly picked up her schoolbag and turned to walk towards the classroom door.

“Lin Yue, I know you might think I’m being presumptuous, but you experience a tightness in your chest one night every week. Don’t you want to know why?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue, who had already taken a few steps, stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with confusion. Because, apart from herself, almost no one knew about this.

Starting when she was 6 years old, this weekly chest tightness plagued her like a nightmare until it abruptly stopped a few months ago.

On the day the system disappeared, she gained the strength of a Grandmaster. As her true energy circulated, she clearly felt as if some foreign object was being expelled from her body. From then on, the chest tightness that had troubled her for many years completely disappeared.

Lin Yue instantly realized what was happening. Drawing on her years of experience immersing herself in various "Dragon-Slaying Prodigy" novels, she immediately recognized that she also suffered from the Zhou family's hidden ailment! Fortunately, her internal energy had successfully expelled it from her body.

"How did you know?" Lin Yue asked, feigning confusion, though she already knew everything.

When Ye Chen saw Lin Yue asking, he was immediately delighted. He explained, "The thing is, my master traveled around and accidentally discovered that the younger women of the Zhou and Wang families all had this hidden disease, and it was hereditary. Patients often do not live to the age of twenty-five."

At this point, Ye Chen paused slightly before continuing, "Back then, my master used all his skills and finally cured the sick women of that generation. But to completely eradicate the disease, the next generation needed corresponding treatment. Unfortunately, my master knew that his lifespan was limited and he probably wouldn't be able to witness that day. So, he made a marriage agreement with the Zhou and Wang families, saying that in a dozen years, his disciple—that is, me—would come down the mountain to fulfill this promise!"

Immediately afterward, Ye Chen's gaze locked onto Lin Yue: "Although you are the illegitimate daughter of the Zhou family and do not accept the Zhou family surname, you still have Zhou family blood flowing through your veins. Therefore, there is no doubt that you also suffer from this hidden ailment. My Six Meridian Divine Needle technique is unparalleled in the world, a miracle cure capable of healing all diseases! When using this miraculous acupuncture technique, one must first accurately locate the key acupoints on the body and then apply appropriate needling techniques and pressure according to their characteristics. However, if you want to completely eradicate the ailment, then..."

"What is it?" Lin Yue was puzzled when he suddenly stopped talking, but with a woman's keen intuition, she seemed to have guessed something.
