Chapter 322: Chapter 309: A Bowl of Wine Splashed Over
Ye Chen was sowhat surprised when he turned his head back. He didn’t expect her to know even about this matter and asked, “How did you hear about this?”
“Is it that hard? I know about everything that happens in Wasteland City.” Yu Yun replied.
“You’re really quite idle.” That said, if soone really wanted to find out, a bit of effort was all it took. His matter with Wei Yiling wasn’t a secret at all. He wondered what this young woman was planning by inquiring about it.
“I was just finding out.” Yu Yun continued: “You can’t even change into better-looking clothes.”
“Is this outfit not good-looking?”
“It doesn’t match
at all.”
“Why would I need to match you?”
“I’m trying to give you a bit of dignity, so you won’t look too destitute. People might think you’re falling apart, and they would laugh at you.”
“Well, thanks, but no need.”
“Think you can go back on it, do you?”
“I’ll et your sister tomorrow. Not today.”
“What difference is there between tomorrow and today?”
“There’s certainly a difference.”
“What kind of bullshit difference?” Yu Yun said: “Today is my sister’s wedding day, and she’s definitely the most beautiful today. You can’t miss it. You should make her feel assured. If she knows you’re still alive and attending her wedding, she’ll be very happy.”
“But the groom isn’t .” Ye Chen retorted.
“Hehe, not all good things are ant for you. You have to face reality.” Yu Yun stated.
“Are you trying to make
see her marry so that I feel miserable, aren’t you?”
Guo Yuyun giggle out a laugh, saying, “Exactly. So that you rember today for the rest of your life.”
“I will no longer play along.”
“Don’t act like a child!”
It was a large square, and the festivities had already started from noon. But the liveliest part was now, because most of the ones who ca by this ti were young people.
Fireworks kept soaring into the sky above, flickering brightly and dimly in a variety of colors, and illuminating the entire square with hundreds of lanterns.
The most bustling area was where a large group of people surrounded the bride and groom, drinking and making rry.
Yu Yun wanted to drag Ye Chen over there.
Ye Chen said, “Hey, there are so many people. Isn’t it better not to go over there?”
“What does it matter? You’re such good friends. It should be fine to et, have a drink, and be candid. You must accept reality. If you can’t even accept this, then forget about facing it. Those who want to accomplish great things should be able to let go easily.”
“There are so many friends there that they don’t have the space for .”
“But you’re different.”
“What’s so different about ? They all seem the sa to .”
Just then, soone nearby called out to Ye Chen. He turned his head back, and it was Gu Xueyun from the Heavenly City Sect.
Gu Xueyun quickly stood up and greeted him, “Sect Leader Ye, it’s really you!”
“What Sect Leader Ye! Just call
Ye Chen.” Ye Chen responded.
“Alright, Ye Chen, you haven’t eaten anything yet?”
“No.”
“Then hurry up, we have to have a drink.” Gu Xueyun was drinking with a few others, all disciples of the Heavenly City Sect.
Several disciples held Ye Chen in place and he had to stop.
Gu Xueyun continued, “We, the disciples of the Heavenly Sect, would have fallen into an ambush if not for your New City Sect. You must have a drink with us. Otherwise, forget about leaving.”
Ye Chen perceived this as an opportunity and said quickly, “Miss, you better go find your sister. I need to have a couple of drinks with them.” He wasn’t ntally prepared yet.
He Xibai over there was already calling Yu Yun. Yu Yun finally said, “Okay, but don’t you run away. Otherwise, I’ll tell my sister directly, and she’ll co to find you.”
“Alright, I won’t run. Go now.”
In a flash, Ye Chen was stopped by several disciples from the Heavenly City Sect.
Soone had already poured a drink for Ye Chen.
“My alcohol tolerance isn’t very good.”
A disciple said, “Well, you could at least have two cups with us as a gesture. Otherwise, it would an you’re looking down on us.”
Ye Chen could only nod his head and say, “Alright, I’ll have two in gesture.”
Gu Xueyun said, “Co, let’s drink to our fortunate eting first.”
“If we drink one cup for everyone we et, we would have to drink many cups. There are so many people here we’ve t.” Ye Chen comnted.
“Let’s drink this cup first.”
“I just want to have sothing to eat.”
“First let’s drink a cup.” By this ti, the disciples had all raised their bowls.
“But this is not a cup.” Ye Chen said.
“The cup is too small. It’s not satisfying enough.”
“After this bowl, soone has to carry
back.”
“Don’t worry, we know where you live. At that ti, we’ll ensure you are safely carried back.” Gu Xueyun assured.
A disciple shouted, “Hurry up!”
Gu Xueyun said, “Ye Chen, just do as you like, drink as much as you can.”
“Alright, fine, let’s drink, who’s scared of who.” Ye Chen casually lifted his bowl as though drinking was the only way to express his feelings at the mont.
After a few exchanges, they quickly started drinking.
Gu Xueyun said, “We all are very grateful to you!”
“Oh, don’t ntion it. Makes
feel like an outsider.”
“No really, it’s from our hearts. You helped us escape a disaster.”
Ye Chen took two sips, put down the bowl and prepared to eat sothing.
Yu Yun was pulled away by He Xibai. She occasionally looked back to check whether that guy had already run away. Seeing him drinking with that group, she felt sowhat relieved.
From morning till now, Qing’er hadn’t seen Yu Yun yet. He Xibai finally managed to bring Yu Yun in.
Yu Qing asked, “Yu Yun, where have you been all this half day?”
“I went to change my clothes.”
“The clothes you wore this morning were quite nice.” Yu Qing and Zhan Ze were both dressed in dazzling red. They stood out in the crowd. People continuously ca up to toast Zhan Ze. Su Zhanze had dreamt of this day, he was naturally the happiest person here.
“It was a bit old.”
“You didn’t run off to the New City Sect, did you?”
“Sister, I want to introduce you to soone.”
Soone ca over to toast them again, and Yu Qing hurriedly said, “Later.” She was already extrely busy.
Under Zhan Ze’s guidance, she went up to toast.
After a few rounds of drinking, Gu Xueyun was stopped by a group of people from the Qingxuan Sect. Gu Xueyun stood up and told Ye Chen, “They are from the Qingxuan Sect. Ye Chen, just keep eating. I haven’t seen them in a long ti and want to go greet them.”
“Alright.”
Gu Xueyun picked up his wine bowl and left with several of his subordinates.
Suddenly, Ye Chen and a few of Gu Xueyun’s subordinates remained at the table, continuing to eat.
With a quick “swoosh,” a person suddenly bumped into him from behind, almost knocking Ye Chen to the other side.
Ye Chen stabilized himself.
The voice behind him kept apologizing, “I’m sorry, I didn’t an it.”
The half bowl of wine in front of Ye Chen was knocked over. He quickly dodged to avoid it splashing on him and said, “It’s fine, don’t worry.” When he turned around to look at the person who apologized, he found the man to be very familiar and quickly turned his body to the side.
Yuan Jingxing also found Ye Chen very familiar.
Soone was calling him again, “Jingxing, hurry up and co here.” The one calling him was none other than Ren Haotian.
Ye Chen didn’t engage with Yuan Jingxing for long. Two disciples helped to clean up the spilled wine.
As Yuan Jingxing was about to leave, he heard a disciple from Heavenly City saying next to Ye Chen, “Don’t worry, Ye Chen. I’ll handle this.” Yuan Jingxing was taken aback. He just rembered that Ye Chen looked the sa as he did five years ago, just a bit taller.
Ye Chen moved away slightly.
With a bit of drunkenness, Ren Haotian nudged Yuan Jingxing and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Yuan Jingxing replied, “I saw an old friend.”
“What the hell does ‘old friend’ ans?” Ren Haotian was swaying, already sowhat drunk.
“Ye Chen?”
“Ye Chen? Who?”
“From five years ago!”
It seed like Ren Haotian suddenly rembered, he asked, “Where?”
Yuan Jingxing pointed and said, “Over there, drinking with a few disciples from Heavenly City.”
“No way! Are you kidding ?”
“It’s true.”
As soon as Ren Haotian thought of Ye Chen, he imdiately rembered the events of the past, “No way, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“No, I heard them calling his na, and he hasn’t changed much from five years ago, just a little taller. I definitely didn’t mistake him,” Yuan Jingxing pointed ahead.
“How did this guy get in here? Is he here to cause trouble?”
“He probably snuck in with so low-ranking disciples from Heavenly City.”
“Why did he co in? Who invited him to Zhan Ze’s wedding?”
“Young Master Ze probably doesn’t know.”
“Didn’t he and his mother cause enough trouble in Immortal City that year?” Ren Haotian turned to leave.
“Hey, I think we should let it go.”
“How can we let it go? I must go see what’s going on.” At this point, Haotian was determined to make Ye Chen suffer. He was filled with indignant anger, rembering the chaos of the past year. He was daring enough to co to Immortal City.
“Ren Haotian, don’t make trouble.”
Haotian, however, pushed Yuan Jingxing’s hand away and exclaid, “This country bumpkin, I need to teach him a lesson.”
As he drew nearer and nearer, Ye Chen seed to feel soone approaching. But he just continued to eat quietly, not wanting to cause any trouble. Still, it seed he couldn’t leave now.
Soone called out, “Ye Chen.”
Ye Chen turned around and with a smile, stood up. It seed he couldn’t avoid it.
Haotian asked, “You still rember us, right?”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “Yes, two old friends.”
Haotian looked at the few people drinking with Ye Chen, all of them were people who he didn’t recognize, and said, “How did you get into Immortal City? You think you can co here whenever you want?”
A disciple nearby looked anxious as it seed the situation was turning hostile, and two subordinates also stood up.
However, Ye Chen gestured for them to sit down and said, “I ca in with them, what’s wrong? I can’t co in?” He was very unhappy to hear that Immortal City was not a place he could co to. His mother would still be alive now if not for the incident that happened in Immortal City those years ago.
Haotian imdiately shouted, “You few disciples from Heavenly City, how could you let this country bumpkin in?”
“What’s wrong, my old friends, you seem unwelcoming.” Ye Chen motioned for the others to remain silent.
“Yes, we don’t welco you. Get out. This isn’t sowhere you should be; I’ll beat you if you don’t leave!” He reached out to grab Ye Chen’s collar.
Ye Chen pushed his hand away and said with a smile, “Did your Sect Leader say to make
leave?”
“Does our Sect Leader need to say it? You are not welco in Immortal City. Get out before I beat you.”
“What did you say?”
“Get out!”
Ye Chen picked up a bowl of wine and splashed it right over the guy’s head.
“Damn it, how dare you splash wine on !” Haotian was about to rush over as if he wanted to fight.
Then the disciples from Heavenly City stepped in to help while Haotian’s followers also rushed over.
A clash of about eight or nine people broke out instantly. Plates and cups were flying everywhere, creating a racket.
The commotion quickly alerting Su Zhanze and Guo Yuqing at the back, who had no idea what was happening upfront.
Guo Yuyun, who was eating, was waiting to tell Yu Qing about Ye Chen when the fight suddenly broke out. Guo Yuyun was shocked. She looked and saw that it was exactly where Ye Chen had been sitting.
Zhan Ze wanted to go to the front to check out the situation while Yu Qing swiftly followed him.
Ye Chen didn’t join in the fight as there was no need for him to. The few disciples from Heavenly City were already in front of him. Ye Chen was still sitting on the side drinking wine, acting as if nothing was happening.
