Chapter 250: Chapter 238: ng Xiu Luo’s Intelligence
Ye Chen returned to the courtyard, just as dusk was setting in. He imdiately laid down in the humped-back chair. ng Yan quickly ca over to pour him so tea, and asked, “What happened?” There was no way she could not know.
Ye Chen replied: “That man nad Zen Master, he will be here tomorrow.”
“Outside our Wasteland City?”
“Yes.”
“So, they want to attack Wasteland City?”
“They’re coming to unify the Wastelands, so of course they’ll attack Wasteland City.”
“Why not negotiate then?”
He chuckled, “It’s not that simple to negotiate. I suspect their intentions are not good. They want to unify all places outside the Central Plains, and then strike against the immortal and demon realms of the Central Plains. So, if they succeed, the entire Central Plains will fall into chaos. A large number of people will die. Hence, they must not be allowed to succeed.” Rembering what Wei Sisan had said about their already successful unification of the Wuji Domain made him realize the rapidity and power with which they moved.
ng Yan looked at Ye Chen, gave a faint smile, and said, “Hmm, your considerations are correct.”
“Yes, they want to unify the Wastelands, Wuji Domain, South Wasteland, Evil Domain, Demon Domain. If they are successful in unifying these places and then attack the Central Plains, there will be chaos. Many people will be displaced. Hence, we must not let them conquer the Wastelands.”
“I heard they have already taken the Wuji Domain.”
“Oh, how did you learn this so quickly? I only just found out.”
“Everyone on the street is talking about it.”
“It seems the New City Sect is not doing very well. Even the citizens of Wasteland City are more inford than its mbers.”
ng Yan gave a gentle smile and asked, “Confident about repelling their attack?”
“We have not officially confronted them yet, but Sect Leader Wei was right. They ca prepared and must have everything ready. We must be cautious, otherwise, we will not be able to defeat them.”
“I heard the Wastelands also have the Sky Domain Sect. Why not collaborate with them?”
Ye Chen replied, “Indeed, there is the Sky Domain Sect. However, there’s been no contact between the New City Sect and them. We still don’t know how powerful the Zen Master is. Let’s engage with them first and see if we can hold our ground.”
“That’s true. The New City Sect is the most powerful sect in the Wastelands. Not having this kind of strength wouldn’t do.”
“Ah, the key point is to withstand their attack. However, as the Sect Leader ntioned, our only advantage is that we are the true masters of the Wastelands. They’re outsiders and have a ti limit to completely conquer the Wastelands. Thinking about that, we do have a chance. We can initially stall them while figuring out a way to defeat them.”
Upon hearing this, ng Yan chuckled.
“Don’t worry. The New City Sect has many people. You won’t have to lead the charge. Leave the dangerous tasks to us.”
ng Yan chuckled again.
“Tomorrow night might be tough.”
“Will they break in?”
“They might. But don’t worry. We have been preparing for the past few days. We’re not that vulnerable. After all, it’s the New City Sect. If we’re that weak, it would be a disgrace.”
ng Yan laughed lightly again. “I’m just unnecessarily worrying.”
Ye Chen also smiled faintly.
“What would you like to eat tonight? I can prepare it for you. Tomorrow night, I might not be here,” said ng Yan.
Ye Chen paused, then asked: “Why won’t you be here?”
“I might move to your Liuye Manor.”
“What? Why are you moving there? Aren’t you comfortable living here?”
“No, I live quite comfortable here. I love living here with everyone. It feels like a big family, everyone talking and laughing together. I don’t want to move to Liuye Manor, being alone there scares .”
Hearing this, Ye Chen was even more puzzled. “So why do you still want to move there?”
ng Yan gave a soft laugh and answered, “Ling’er said the yard here is too small and so people might move in. She said there’s not enough room.”
“She never told
about this.”
ng Yan glanced at Ye Chen and said, “Perhaps it’s not what you think. Maybe Ling’er just feel we’re getting too close. She likes you and doesn’t want
to get too close to you.”
“Did she tell you this?”
“How could she possibly say such things to ! I’m guessing. However, her concern is valid. Who can bla her for liking you so much?”
“Oh, stop overthinking.”
“Well,” ng Yan continued, “I really want to repay you guys, but I see no opportunity. You saved , preserved my leg, and gave
a new lease on life. Considering you as my new parents, I would like to show my gratitude in servitude. But it seems it could only be done in the future. If I move back to your previous residence at Liuye Manor, you won’t mind, will you?” She asked with a slight smile.
However, Ye Chen felt uncomfortable. He knew that ng Yan must be reluctant to do so. How could a girl move to Liuye Manor at this ti, especially in such circumstances?
“I enjoy the hustle and bustle as well, being with everyone, talking, and not feeling so lonely, especially at night. While it may be quiet there, I’m still a bit scared. But I can overco this fear. You can rest assured about it.” Cui ngyan said, adding, “It seems I should just wait for an opportunity to repay you guys in the future.”
“No, you can’t go there. Even as a boy like , I would feel scared living there. It’s too remote. Not to ntion for a girl like you. Thieves often appear there. What if sothing happens?”
“That should not happen, after all, there is the Sky Lake Manor next door with disciples from the New City Sect. If I find them, there should be no problem.”
“No, you can’t go there. It’s too dangerous for a girl. You better stay here.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”
“How would you take care of yourself?”
“I’ll just lock the door tightly.” ng Yan said this with a faint smile.
Ye Chen gave a cold laugh and thought that Ling’er was too out of line. How could she do this without telling him first, to let ng Yan move out? He then said, “Stop talking about it. I won’t let you live there alone. You stay here. If you have to move to Liuye Manor, I’ll go with you.”
Upon hearing this, ng Yan was pleased. She just wanted to evoke such a result. However, she said, “That’s not good. Although you saved , you can’t be responsible for
for the rest of my life. I need to leave soday and have my own life. Start over.”
“Not now. Tomorrow the war will begin. We don’t know how many monsters will rush in. The whole city will be in chaos. How will you protect yourself?”
“Are you sure it’s as scary as you describe?”
“Do you think I’m joking with you!”
“It’s farther away from the city center, so it’s less likely to be attacked. Nothing like that will happen.”
“And what if it is attacked? What will you do?”
“Doesn’t Sky Lake Manor exist? I can go there.”
“Listen, stay here. I’ll talk to Ling’er. If you are bound to move to Liuye Manor, then I’ll accompany you there.”
ng Yan nodded, understanding that she was making progress but still said with embarrassnt, “It’s not good. I don’t want to spoil your relationship with Ling’er. Truly, I don’t. I hope two of you continue the good relationship.” She knew she might irritate Ling’er, but to achieve her purpose, she must stay, especially in this critical war ti.
Ye Chen said, “No, honestly, there’s nothing between us. I live here because it’s easy to attend Wei Sisan. Given the chaos here so ti ago, there weren’t any decent yards, and that’s why I’m living with the New City Sect. Moreover, Liuye Manor has been deserted for nearly two months. As I’m quite lazy, I lack the patience to clean it up.”
ng Yan still looked reluctant and argued, “I don’t think it’s appropriate. I don’t want to get you caught in the middle and harm your relationship with Ling’er. I would move over there and you should stay here.”
“Stubborn girl, listen to
and stay here. Don’t think about moving to Liuye Manor. I disagree. Don’t make
angry. I’ll talk it over with Ling’er. You should rest assured and stay here.”
Looking worried, ng Yan said, “Let’s forget it then, forget what I said. I will move to Liuye Manor tomorrow morning.”
“Hey, seems like you didn’t hear
clearly.”
“Oh, I don’t want to affect you guys.”
“Rest assured. It won’t affect us. Trust , I’ll explain everything to Ling’er. Stay here and obey. Don’t make
upset.” Ye Chen said.
Only then did Cui ngyan nod.
“Just listen to
and stay here. Don’t worry about anything else. Do what you should do. That’s enough.” Ye Chen said, “All right, get dinner ready. It’s going to be dark soon, and I’m a little hungry. I want to have dinner and then have a good sleep. We don’t know when the fight will end tomorrow.”
ng Yan left, seemingly quite satisfied. She had no choice but to co up with such a plan. She believed it would succeed.
Ye Chen pondered, was it really as ng Yan said that Ling’er didn’t want him to be too close to others? Was she really jealous? If not, why did she do this? Was Ling’er too jealous?
Shaking his head, Ye Chen found it incredulous. He couldn’t understand ng Yan’s thinking, it was becoming more and more confusing. Perhaps it wasn’t about understanding, he just didn’t want to.
