Chapter 173: Chapter 168: An Old Friend Who Likes You
“Did you provoke that girl again?” Feng Niang noticed that the girl was sowhat irritable and was very curious.
Ye Chen also glanced over and said, “She’s always like this; it’ll pass soon. Her mood is like the wind; it changes easily, so I understand her very well.”
“You must have irritated her.”
“She provoked .”
“Did they say sothing bad about
again? Probably told you that I’m no good and you should stay away from !”
“What is the real issue between you two?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“On the night her mother died, her father was with , so he didn’t get to see her mother for the last ti.”
“What? There’s actually such a thing? What is going on?”
“Her mother left without seeing her father for the last ti. She thinks I killed her mother by not allowing her mother and father to say goodbye.”
“What happened that night? Were you two really entangled with each other?”
“It wasn’t like you think; sothing happened that night.” She seed reluctant to explain.
“What happened?”
“Our relationship was pure. That night, I was injured and the heavy rain didn’t allow him to rush back.”
“I don’t think it was as pure as you say. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have waited for so many years.”
“Ah, let’s not talk about this. But I think you guys could try dating.” Feng Niang suggested.
“Try dating? You really have a sense of humor. Although she is sowhat tempting, I’m not interested,” Ye Chen said.
“Her temper isn’t great, but she seems to get along well with you.”
“I feel that I would get along better with you.”
“I’m too old for you, what’s the point?”
“Who says you’re old? I think you are very mature and stable.”
“Stop ssing with .” Feng Niang continued, “Trust
on this, that girl is interested in you.”
“How do you know?”
“I can tell. If she weren’t interested in you, she wouldn’t care about you so much. Always saying I’m not good enough for you and constantly reminding you.”
“Is that so? I think she’s just jealous of us being together, thinking I’m too handso, she doesn’t want
to slip away,” Ye Chen blurted out.
“We’re not even together yet. Don’t talk nonsense,” Feng Niang said.
“I think it’s going to happen soon. I’m confident.”
“Give it up. I won’t be interested in soone so much younger than . We’re not suitable,” Feng Niang said seriously.
“Then why would you prefer to be interested in soone much older than you!”
“Stop playing around. I can play the role of an elder sister, but don’t expect anything else. If you want to ss around, find soone else.”
“But I have an old friend who really likes you.” Ye Chen finally talked about the Red Demonic Spirit; he’d been persuaded by the Red Demonic Spirit to say a string of crazy things to Feng Niang over the past few days. It was ti to clear things up.
“Old friends, we haven’t even known each other for a few days, and you have old friends who know ?”
“Yes, a very good old friend. He’s known you for as long as I have. It’s a little annoying.”
“But I’ve only seen you alone.” Feng Niang said, puzzled.
“This old friend of mine is quite special, very shy, not often seen by people, but also thick-skinned and often hides, so others hardly see him.”
“Hehe, so there are such old friends.”
“Yes, and I think I should introduce him to you soti. It’s not suitable to et now with so many people around. He is very interested in you.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“The Red Demonic Spirit.”
“Red Demonic Spirit, what Red Demonic Spirit?”
“A bodyless demonic spirit, like a soul, hidden in my body.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Actually, he taught
my martial arts. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to learn these martial arts. He’s hidden in my body. Many people want him. He’s very interested in you; you two should have a chat.” Ye Chen had given the Red Demonic Spirit quite a boost.
“Where to et?”
“Whenever you’re free and there’s no one around, I’ll introduce you to each other.”
Feng Niang suddenly rembered sothing and said, “Five years ago, in the Central Plains, the Demon Domain located the Earth Demon Island. They said that two demonic spirits appeared there.”
“Yes, the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit. I ended up with the Red Demonic Spirit. He didn’t kill , while the Black Demonic Spirit was seized by the Demon King Gao Ba.”
“Did you enter the Wastelands because they were searching for the Red Demonic Spirit?”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “It was inevitable.”
“Was your martial arts taught by the Red Demonic Spirit?”
“Yes, in a way.”
“He’s hiding on you.”
“Yes, without a host body, he would be easily detected – so he can only stick with .”
“He also taught you martial arts.”
“I learned martial arts from this Jade Ring, however, he is my master. I was just a child and without his help, I wouldn’t have learned martial arts to this degree.” explained Ye Chen.
“Jade Ring? What Jade Ring?”
Ye Chen waggled the Jade Ring on his neck, saying: “This one here, all I know is that my dad gave it to . Apart from harboring strong energy, it also carries a secret martial arts manual, and I learned my martial arts from it.
When no one is around, I’ll introduce you to him, he seems to like you. But please, sister, don’t ntion it to anyone, otherwise, I’ll be hunted down again. However, you’ve got to be careful, he’s quite the lecher.”
People on the other side were shouting: “Alright, everyone, it’s ti to set off.”
“Let’s go, it’s go ti.”
Feng Niang asked curiously: “Why are you suddenly telling
this? Why do you want to inform ?”
“He really likes you, but it seems he has no chance. It’s ti to put him out of his misery, otherwise, he will not rest peacefully.”
Wei Sisan called out: “Ye Chen, co ride on this horse car.”
Ye Chen glanced and said: “Why am I sharing a horse car with her?” It was that Wei Yiling.
“They can’t drive a horse car.” said Wei Sisan.
“I’d rather stay with my wife.”
“I have sothing to talk to Feng Niang about.” Wei Sisan said.
Only then did Ye Chen go over.
The young girl disdainfully glanced at him, seemingly still angry from the morning’s events.
“Are you going to strangle ?” Ye Chen mournfully asked.
“Just don’t provoke , I might kick you under the horse car.”
“Fine, if the cart is overturned and you end up on your back, don’t bla .” Ye Chen climbed onto the horse car, murmuring: “So many people, but we couldn’t find a single coachman.”
“If you really don’t want to, you can just get down, I’ll drive it myself.”
“No, I’d better drive, if we tumble over, I won’t take responsibility.”
The long line of horse carts was leaving Tianle City, but they were carrying quite a number of people.
They were heading directly for Wasteland City.
Kong Sha and his group had already buried the bodies they transported back, completing all the ceremonies, taking a full two days.
That day, Xiao Bai couldn’t sit still any longer, saying: “Now that the burials are done, I know that it’s not the appropriate ti to rush this matter, but I have to say, with the Sect Leader gone, the New City Sect needs to continue. Gua Zhengnie has already said we can’t stay in Wasteland City, we urgently need a new Sect Leader. We should discuss where to move and who should preside over these decisions.”
All eyes were turned to him and Jiang Zhuge.
Xiao Bai said: “With a new leader, we’ll have soone to command us. I know Jiang’s abilities are good, but after all, he is not the Sect Leader. We need soone who can lead us, while Jiang deals with affairs cautiously, we need more than a cautious person, we need a charismatic leader.”
Soone sneered: “You’re not suggesting that this person is you, are you?”
Without any delay, Chen Jiu chid in: “It should be our senior brother Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai is the one who has been with the Sect Leader for the longest ti, naturally, he also has the most experience.”
“He hasn’t been cleared of suspicion yet.”
Xiao Bai said: “What do you an cleared of suspicion, do you still suspect ?”
“You haven’t been exonerated yet.”
“Alright, since you are so suspicious of , here is a way out. In the future, Jiang can bring soone to investigate this matter. If I am indeed involved with those n in black, you can execute
at any ti.” Xiao Bai appeared confident, adding: “I have done so many things for the New City Sect, never made a mistake, always diligent. This ti, I missed saving the Sect Leader, but it was inadvertent. If it wasn’t for the problems in Dongle City, I would have saved the Sect Leader long ago.”
Jiang Zhuge glanced at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai continued: “The death of the Sect Leader is heartbreaking, but we have to realize that there are still many matters for the New City Sect to handle, we need soone to preside over them. Although Can Mo and his group have escaped and gone into hiding, they are still in danger. If we don’t have a Sect Leader now, we don’t know how to handle our affairs.”
Only then did Jiang Zhuge say: “Then let’s vote for it.”
At this point, soone said: “We choose Jiang Zhuge as Sect Leader.”
So started shouting in succession: “We choose Xiao Bai as Sect Leader.” and the room abruptly turned chaotic.
Chen Jiu suddenly spoke: “I think Jiang Zhuge is not suitable to be the Sect Leader.”
Soone objected: “Xiao Bai is the one not suitable to be the Sect Leader.”
Chen Jiu said: “Over the past few years, Jiang Zhuge has mainly been responsible for contacting various factions and recruiting students, these are all tasks typically done by scholars. While our senior brother Xiao, he has risked his life, doing all the hard work. He has settled nurous matters, all of you know it. In recent years, the Sect Leader rarely leaves Wasteland City, while all the major affairs are handled by senior brother Xiao. I think he is more suitable to be the Sect Leader.”
The dissatisfied person continued: “Heh, of course, you would say that, otherwise how could it work?”
“Yes, I understand that you think I would lean towards Xiao Bai, but I’m just stating the facts. When faced with major events, senior brother Xiao is more suitable than Jiang Zhuge. Though Jiang Zhuge handles affairs prudently, to lead New City Sect, we need more than just prudence, we need charisma, and I see more of this charisma in senior brother Xiao.”
Soone scoffed at this.
At this mont, Jiang Zhuge seed less confident, saying: “In terms of leadership, I am indeed inferior to senior brother Xiao.”
Chen Jiu appeared to seize the opportunity, saying: “See, even Jiang Zhuge admits that in this respect he falls short of our senior brother Xiao. This isn’t
talking, while Jiang Zhuge has indeed accomplished a lot, if it weren’t for senior brother Xiao’s support, many of these tasks could not have been completed. Also, senior brother Xiao’s martial arts is better than Jiang Zhuge’s.”
“Heh, we’re comparing martial arts now?” soone said coldly.
