Chapter 280: Chapter 268: I’ll Marry You. It’s Settled.
Suddenly, an excited voice ca from inside, a maid shouted: “Ling’er is awake.”
Ye Chen hurried over, but Wan Lan ran even faster, as if the she slled food, the first to rush in, pushing Ye Chen away. Ye Chen had to step back.
Ling’er slowly opened her eyes, feeling pain in her abdon. Even the slightest movent caused extre pain.
She reached down to feel the wound. The knife had already been removed, and the wound was tightly bandaged like a wrapped rice dumpling. Apparently, she hadn’t died. She thought she was in hell.
Wan Lan ran over and asked, “How are you feeling, Ling’er?”
“For how long have I been asleep?” Ling’er asked.
“Just half a day. It’s good that you woke up,” Then turned to another maid and said: “Quickly, go tell Sect Leader Wei that Ling’er is awake; he can rest assured now.”
Hearing that, the maid left imdiately.
Ye Chen stood in the back, unsure of what to say.
Mu Wanlan said: “You really scared us to death. You’re too daring! You’re really reckless.”
Ling’er smiled faintly, saying: “Who dare not value their life?”
“Well, who else would have used their body to block a knife?”
Ling’er glanced at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Rest assured, if you were handicapped, I would definitely take responsibility.”
“You should take responsibility now,” Wan Lan said, as if she found an opportunity.
“Marry her? She doesn’t seem interested in !” Ye Chen blurted out.
Hearing this, Ling’er responded, “So it’s settled then, but it’s you who said it, I didn’t force you.”
“What, normally when I say this, you always respond ‘Leave
alone, who said I will marry you,’ that’s more like you,” Ye Chen was taken aback.
However, Ling’er said: “Wan Lan, you heard him too. He said he would marry , you have to be my witness.”
Wan Lan smiled, saying, “Don’t worry, I will absolutely be your witness, he can’t run away.”
Ye Chen said, “Hey, I was only saying that if she were handicapped, I would take responsibility. Now, she just got a slash, she will recover soon. It’s just a minor scrape.”
Wan Lan gave him a hard kick. “You bastard, were you hoping Ling’er would beco handicapped?”
Ye Chen quickly backed up.
“Shut your mouth with your unpleasant talk. It’s only a knife wound. Instead of speaking good words, all you do is criticize. It’s all because of you.”
“Hey, it’s not my fault she values the Jade Ring over her life.”
“So you’re blaming her now?” Wan Lan retorted.
“Fine, it’s all for my safety, everything happened because of . It was my fault for not realizing Ming Yan’s true intentions. I admit my mistakes; I’ll listen to whatever you say.”
Wan Lan said, “Of course, it’s all your fault.”
Ye Chen added, “Rest assured, no worries, she was stabbed in the abdon, not on the face, so no need to beco a nun.”
“Hey, you can’t speak properly, can you? So it’s fine if she’s stabbed in the abdon? At what point would it be a issue for you?”
Ye Chen explained, “You misunderstood . By below, I ant that even if there is a scar, only your husband will see it, not others. It’s better than being on the face.”
“So you were hoping she was stabbed in the face?” Mu Wanlan said.
“You see, you misunderstood
again.”
“You deserve a stabbing too so that you’ll learn your lesson.”
Ling’er was smiling, but she didn’t dare laugh too hard. The wound would hurt if she beca too excited. It was quite uncomfortable.
Wan Lan helped Ling’er to sit up, propped against the head of the bed, it was more comfortable that way.
“What about the Jade Ring?” Ling’er asked.
Ye Chen took it off his neck.
“I didn’t expect that girl to target it, claiming it as their own.”
“Next ti, never be so reckless. Your life is more important than this,” Ye Chen said.
“Didn’t you say it still has a use?” she asked.
“Yes, it does. In fact, I just recently found the second secret.”
“What did you find?”
“A set of practical martial arts is hidden within it, allowing
to improve my martial arts skills quickly and within a short period of ti.”
“Improve quickly?”
“Yes, do you know why, even though I possess the sa martial arts skills as the Zen Master, I’m still no match for him?”
“Why’s that?”
“It’s the experience. His martial arts have been refined over decades, while I just started practicing. In practice, I’m lacking. Therefore, even though we use the sa martial arts, I’m no match for him.”
“How long will it take for you to be his match?” Ling’er curiously asked.
“Probably two months.”
“So soon.”
“That’s still considered slow.” Ye Chen replied.
Wan Lan poured a cup of tea for Ling’er and said, “I’ve ordered to cook an old hen soup for you. I’ll bring it to you later. Tell
whatever you want to eat.”
Ling’er asked, “Did they catch ng Yan?”
“No, they jumped into the river and disappeared. They are good swimrs. Definitely mariti people,” Ye Chen replied.
Wan Lan said, “We’re conducting a city-wide search now.”
“The city gates are already open. What’s the use of a city-wide search?” Ling’er mumbled.
“Ah, as long as you’re okay.”
“Did you realize early that she was going to harm you?” Ling’er curiously asked.
“Yes, I have to thank you for alerting , saying that girl was suspicious and that many of Zen Master’s people wanted to kill . I also detected her unusual behaviour,” Ye Chen said.
“You noticed sothing was off about her?”
“Yes, that’s why I didn’t drink the wine she gave .”
“Was it really poisoned? She invited you to her room?”
“She said she found her cousin and was planning to move out. She asked
to take a look, so I did. As a good guy, how could I simply go to a girl’s room? I was going for breakfast.”
Ling’er gave a cold laugh.
“Well, as long as you’re fine.”
“You did promise to marry .”
“Are you seriously planning to marry ? I’m a big lech, are you sure you want to risk getting divorced at any ti?”
“If I dare marry you, the matter of divorce is for
to decide.”
“In this era, it’s always n who divorce won. Are you planning to change that?”
“You can’t back out now, you did say you’d marry .”
“Are you really forcing
to turn monk?”
“You’re not backing out on
again, are you?”
“Are you really just going to walk down this path without thinking it through? I must warn you, following
ans enduring hardship. The tough days are only just beginning.”
“Don’t scare . I was raised tough.”
“Just don’t be so impulsive.”
Wan Lan was packing her things as she listened, then she said, “Can you stop talking nonsense?”
“Fine, since you’re not considering turning back, what do I have to fear? Marrying a wife? In my life, who knows how many tis I’ll do that.” Ye Chen said.
“This guy, how can he be like this.”
Ling’er laughed coldly and said, “Getting married many tis isn’t up to you.”
“From what you say, once I marry you my freedom will be lost.”
Their conversation was interrupted by footsteps outside. Wei Sisan heard them talking as he walked in, laughing, “It seems like you two don’t need
to worry about you anymore. You’re planning to get engaged.”
Ye Chen looked rather embarrassed. Wan Lan quickly greeted Wei Sisan and then hurried out.
Wei Sisan showed concern for Ling’er, asked about her feelings, and later brought the miracle doctor for a follow-up.
Ye Chen was by the window.
“Isn’t it you who wanted us to get married? I’m just following what you said.” Ling’er spoke out.
“You mustn’t force yourself.” Wei Sisan said.
Ye Chen also said, “Yes, you really mustn’t force yourself.”
Ling’er said, “Alas, I have no other choice. With a father like you, what can I do? Should I remain unmarried all my life and beco a nun?”
Wei Sisan laughed, “That’s not acceptable. How could you remain unmarried all your life?”
“It’s all for father, I don’t mind sacrificing a bit.” Ling’er said, “But we have to make it grand.”
Ye Chen rubbed his forehead, seemingly without a clear thought or preparation in his mind.
Wei Sisan said, “Of course, we will definitely make it grand.”
Ye Chen suddenly felt shy and headed out.
Wei Sisan turned around and saw that Ye Chen was already at the entrance.
“Ye Chen, where are you going?”
“I’m going out to get so fresh air.”
“Why have you run out?” Wan Lan shouted.
“Hey, you’re not even allowing
to go out?”
“Get back in there and clarify when you’re getting married to your father-in-law.”
“You’re even more anxious than Ling’er.” Ye Chen said, quite unconvinced.
“I’m not in a hurry.”
“I think you’re pretty anxious. Are you planning to move in with
after the wedding?”
Wan Lan shot Ye Chen a cold glance.
“Even if I choose any other girl, I wouldn’t want you.”
“Even if you want
to, I wouldn’t want to.”
Ye Chen found a spot to sit. It was already dusk. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, “Hurry and make dinner, it’s getting late. What are you doing watering those flowers? They’re already drowned.”
Wan Lan snorted.
Ye Chen said again, “Hurry up, Ling’er is awake now. Why don’t you make so special chicken soup? Hurry up.”
“Go wait for your little water maid to co back and serve you.”
“Hey, I’m going to be the owner of this place. Don’t treat
like a guest who just arrived, I have the right to kick you out, believe it or not.”
Wan Lan gave a cold laugh.
“You think I don’t dare?” Ye Chen said.
Wan Lan had already left by the ti Ye Chen finished speaking. Ye Chen heard Ling’er talking to Wei Sisan in the room. Before long, Wei Sisan ca out.
Ye Chen quickly stood up.
Wei Sisan said, “Take good care of Ling’er.”
“Hmm.” Ye Chen, curious, asked, “Have we taken over Tianle City?”
“No, they didn’t manage to take over Tianle City in ti and the retreating Zen master scared them away.”
“They got scared off so easily. Could it be that you and the Sky Domain Sect had prearranged this?”
Wei Sisan shook his head and said, “No.”
