Chapter 79: Number One rcenary Tao Baibai
“But...” Ye Wuyun panicked and was about to say sothing when he was stopped short by Ye Wuchen’s cold voice, “Ye Wuyun, I know you’ve been resentful after I ca back to the Ye Family. If I had died at that ti, you might have beco the master of the entire Ye Family, but here I am, so your beautiful dream has been suddenly smashed to pieces. The next ti you want to play this kind of ga please put more effort into it and use your brain. Your thods this ti... pfft!”
Without a sound, Ye Wuchen suddenly extended his right hand outwards, grabbing the empty air. The invitation in Ye Nu’s hand seed to grow wings and flew into Ye Wuchen’s hands. He raised both his hands, and the invitation scattered into pieces. He waved his hands again, collecting all the pieces of papers in his hands, then without stopping, he turned to leave. While turning, the corner of his mouth lifted a bit... Ye Wuyun, you are just a flailing clown; a toy, not even fit to be my match. You dare to fight against !?
He believed Ye Nu would not approach Long Zhengyang to verify the authenticity of his own statent, or else he would not be Ye Nu.
“Chen-er!” first ti seeing Ye Wuchen angry, Wang Wenshu’s heart was stricken. She rushed to follow after him, without sparing Ye Wuyun a glance.
Only Ye Nu, Ye Wei, and Ye WuYun remained in the hall. In the strange silence lingered a suffocating tension. Ye Wuyun panicked montarily, then said in a rush, “Adoptive father, grandpa, this matter wasn’t as brother Wuchen had said...”
“Yun-er, you go ahead. Your invitation might have been lost sowhere.” Ye Nu said waving his hand.
“Okay.” Ye Wuyun responded sadly, then turned around and left.
After Wuyun had left, Ye Nu pondered for a mont, then asked, “Do you think what Chen-er said is true?”
“Unlikely.” Ye Wei shook his head, furrowed his brows and said, “If Yun-er really had those intentions, he wouldn’t have used this low level trick. What I really think is that Chen-er’s last statent was aid at Yun-er, but perhaps he is also hinting sothing to us?”
“Oh?” Ye Nu’s face puzzled.
Ye Wei went silent without a reply, trying hard to search for an answer in his brain as the mory of the conversation they had a while ago flashed past him.
“Chen-er... Chen-er, mother didn’t doubt you, I have not been a good mother...”
Wang WenShu nervously chased after Ye Wuchen, steps becoming quicker and quicker. Ye Wuchen eventually stopped, turned and smiled. “I know... it’s really nothing. I am just a little tired from today so I wanted to go back early to rest.”
Wang Wenshu’s nervous heart finally settled but she still spoke with so regret, “You are right. Being tornted the whole morning, you must be very tired. You go ahead and rest. I will let Xiao Lu bring you so food later at lunch.”
“Yes!” Ye Wuchen responded with a smile.
Upon returning to his small courtyard, Ye Qi and Ye Ba welcod him from afar, boot-licking words followed in advance, like the water from the Yellow River dashing through the area...
“Young Master! We’ve heard what happened today... We already knew that Young Master was truly a dragon among a thousand miles of people, but just a quiet one. You were preparing to amaze the world in just one single act, even the supernatural beings are now scared of you, and the entire Tian Long City trembles upon hearing your na! Even though the Young Master of Lin is pretty good, he is nothing in front of you. If Young Master were the sun, then he is just a tiny, unremarkable star. If Young Master were a fresh flower, then he is just a small blade of grass... ah, no! Not even grass, he is simply a pile of cow dung...”
All the way from the courtyard gate, he arrived in front of a table and sat down, flattery from the two of them continued without end, causing Ye Wuchen to sigh. If they used their flattery elsewhere, they might be able to attain an honorable position in the governnt. He waved his hand, “That’s enough, let’s just call it a day. Go and serve so tea.”
His voice had just barely dropped,.Ye Qi and Ye Ba had not even moved one bit, while Xiao Lu had already carried in two cups of tea gracefully walking towards them.
“Young Master, young lady Ning Xue, please have so tea.”
Placing them down, she retreated with gentle steps, then her two eyes directly observing Ye Wuchen, both filled with splendor, making Ye Wuchen wonder whether her eyes were embedded with precious stones. After a long while, he could not take it anymore; hence, he let out a fake cough and said, “Xiao Lu, go wash the clothes that I’ve worn yesterday.”
“Young Master, I’ve already finished washing them.” Xiao Lu slightly bent her waist as she replied.
“... then go to mother’s place to get my lunch. Tell her I’m hungry.” Ye Wuchen imdiately changing his excuse.
“Yes.” Xiao Lu turned around, departing in small quick steps.
Ye Wuchen finally heaved a sigh of relief, holding up the teacup, he tested the temperature, then lightly touched the corner of Ning Xue’s lips, letting her drink little by little.
“Ye Qi, how far is the black forest in the east side of the city from the city gate?” Ye Wuchen asked while lowering his head.
“Exactly twenty kiloters.” Ye Qi answered.
“How about the distance from the Devil’s Trap Pagoda to the west side border of the black forest?” Ye Wuchen asked.
“That is... approximately ten kiloters. Young Master, are you planning to...” Ye Qi asked in a very careful and nervous tone.
“I’m just asking.”
After helping Ning Xue drink, Ye Wuchen grabbed the other cup and took a sip, then exhaled. He lifted his head, his brain continuously switching over different possibilities like flashes of lightning.
“Ye Ba, prepare so sulfur, charcoal, and niter for . It’s better if you have so kerosene as well. Are you able to obtain those things?” Ye Wuchen suddenly asked.
Ye Ba got distracted, then responded, “Yes, yes. Although difficult, I can find them within Tian Long City.”
“Then go, now. If you need silver then proceed to the accounts office, tell them it’s upon my request.”
Ye Ba left, muttered to himself why he needed such strange things. Aside from niter, these were used to light fire, right? Why would he need these if he’s already using magic lights?
While hugging Ning Xue, Ye Wuchen lifted the teacup and slowly sipped. Subconsciously narrowing both eyes in thought. Ye Qi is aware that he is thinking about sothing, and did not dare to disturb him, so he respectfully stood waiting in a corner.
“Yi Qi, who is the number one rcenary in Tian Long Nation?” Ye Wuchen asked.
“Number one rcenary?” stroking his head, Ye Qi pondered for a mont, then his eyes lit up. “I rember Xiao San and Xiao Si make ntion of the best rcenary in Tian Long, his na is Tao Baibai.”
Pffft!...
Ye Wuchen spurted out a mouthful of tea, wetting Ning Xue’s clothes. He imdiately put down his teacup to wipe off the traces of water. Cursing endlessly deep inside... this is the second ti. Apparently, it is better that I do not drink tea while talking to this Ye Qi.
“This... this is such an odd na.” Ye Qi said embarrassed. He muttered secretly inside, it may be odd, but he should not have reacted this way, exactly like last ti. Do not tell that the Young Master is overly sensitive to other people’s nas?
“Oh, it’s actually a bit odd.” Ye Wuchen said calmly.
Number one rcenary, Tao Baibai! This is such a flashy na. With this title, China would not have called it anything other than “flashy”.
“Does he have a special move called the ‘Dodon Ray’?” Ye Wuchen probed. After asking, even he thought it was a silly question.
