Chapter 328: Chapter 315: Do I look like Lei Gong?
“Hey, monkey business, this is cheering
up!” Li Mo said.
“Is that all you ca back to talk to
about?” Ye Chen exclaid, wanting to listen to sothing of value.
Li Mo quickly said: “No, I ca back to tell you that Su Hong has beco the Alliance Leader.”
“That was expected.”
“We also received permission; we can act freely in the Central Plains now.”
“Even without permission, we would still be operating in the Central Plains.”
“Well, that’s true, it’s just unnecessary.”
“Is there any news from the Wastelands?” asked Ye Chen.
“There are so movents, I reckon it won’t be long before the Mutant Winged Dragon cos out.” Li Mo answered.
“Don’t give
speculative remarks, I hate these approximations. Make it clear to , when are they coming out?” After the incident at Wasteland City, Ye Chen dared not take it lightly.
“Alright, I’ll find out for sure.” said Li Mo.
“Hurry up, get
so food, I’m hungry.”
“Look, if that lass was here, why would I need to prepare your lunch? She would have had it ready by now.”
“Now you’re bothered to prepare lunch.”
“Where are the other two girls?”
“Don’t know.”
“Ah, they might have soone in mind. n seek won, won desire n, isn’t that just human nature? Let the Monkey take care of you.”
As they were talking, the two girls walked in and heard Li Mo’s words. They glared at Li Mo angrily, who, realizing his error, lowered his head.
Ye Chen quickly asked, “Ladies, can you get
so food?”
One of the girls responded, “What would you like?”
“Anything will do.”
Li Mo was very embarrassed and dared not speak.
“That’s what you get for talking nonsense.” Ye Chen said.
“I know I was wrong.” Li Mo said.
“Get going. You don’t have to make food anymore, get
so valuable news, and stop with the gossip. Talking with you is like hearing flatulence.”
Very soon, Li Mo left.
The elder maiden said, “Isn’t Yu Yun with you?”
“Hey, do all of you assu we are a pair?” Ye Chen asked doubtfully.
“You look well suited to each other. The female monkey matching the male monkey, perfect match.”
“Nonsense, calling us female and male monkeys, do I look like a thunder god?”
The young maiden said, “Looks like it.”
The elder maiden said, “Do you feel suited to her sister then?”
“Hey, don’t ss around with such talk. It’s okay to joke around in front of , but if you do so outside, serious trouble could arise.” Ye Chen said nervously.
“Understood, I already heard. To think that five years ago, you had been in Immortal City.”
“Those gossips, all those ssy affairs, don’t take them seriously, focus on finding a partner, don’t end up being an old maid.”
The elder maiden brought a pot of tea and said, “Don’t jinx us.”
“Seems I have no secrets from you guys.” Ye Chen said.
“It’s not really a secret, we all knew.”
“Seems like, I really need to leave soon.”
“You’re leaving already? Wasn’t it said that there might be a great battle in Immortal City?”
“Who said there’s going to be a great battle in Immortal City.”
“That’s what everyone’s saying.”
“If everyone’s saying that, then there must be a problem.”
“What kind of problem?”
“Do you think if everyone knows, can it still be a secret? Will the Mutant Winged Dragon really co to attack Immortal City?”
“Don’t know.”
“Are you guys scared?”
“Will being scared help?”
“But Immortal City is their number one enemy, Wasteland City was turned into a sea of fire, and everyone alive was killed.”
“That’s certainly terrifying.”
“Scary, right? Stick with , I can protect you.” said Ye Chen.
“Hehe, I’m not one of those naive little girls who could be fooled easily.” said the elder maiden.
“I just want you to be with , to take care of my needs.”
“Don’t we need to take care of you? You’re a Sect Leader, there are many who take care of you.”
“That’s not always the case, being a Sect Leader isn’t a good job, it’s tiring, the pressure is imnse, their lives are in my hands.”
“Drink your tea, you can’t fool
with this, I’m not that stupid, let the Monkey accompany you.”
Ye Chen drank his tea and soon the younger girl brought in food saying, “Rice dumplings, do you want so?”
“Of course, as long as it can fill
up.”
“That’s good.” said the younger maiden as she brought them in.
Seeing Guo Yuyun in a daze in the courtyard, Shi Zi was a little surprised and laughed, “What are you doing sitting in the courtyard, daydreaming? This isn’t like you.”
“You’re the one daydreaming.”
“Aren’t you chasing that guy anymore?”
“He’s busy.”
“Did he find you annoying?”
Yu Yun just gave a faint smile.
“Co on, it’s ti for rice dumplings.”
Yu Yun didn’t have much of an appetite and continued to sit quietly. A couple of birds were bickering on the tree top. It was still a bit sultry today, hot enough to make people reluctant to leave the house.
Shi Zi said, “Just stop worrying, don’t give your sister a headache.”
“When have I ever upset her? Never.”
“What are you pondering over again?”
“Nothing.”
“Tonight, Zhan Ze is holding a party, and we’re invited.”
“Is Ye Chen going?”
“Not sure. He’s quite busy, unlike us who have too much free ti.”
“I bet he doesn’t want to go either.” Guo Yuyun guessed, fully aware of the lingering thoughts Ye Chen had of her sister.
“Heh, you know him quite well.”
“Of course! After what happened five years ago, it’s better to keep our distance. There’s no point going if it’s just going to be awkward.” Yu Yun said.
“Perhaps, if your sister were present, he might think differently,” Shi Zi suggested.
“Heh, then you’re really underestimating Ye Chen.”
“Sounds like you know him pretty well.”
“Better than you, at the very least.”
“That’s debatable. He’s stayed longer in Immortal City than the ti you’ve known him.”
“Is this a matter of who has known him for longer?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Then you really don’t know him.”
“However, when he first arrived, he was quite humble and sowhat shy. Now, he doesn’t seem as shy, sowhat slick with words.” Shi Zi comnted.
“I didn’t notice that.”
“He’s changed a lot. Makes sense – he wouldn’t be the Sect Leader of the New City Sect if he stayed a country bumpkin. The New City Sect isn’t lacking people after all.” Shi Zi mumbled.
Yu Yun continued resting her chin on her hand, muttering, “Not fun at all.”
“A party tonight…you don’t find that fun?”
“Not fun, it’s just showing off.”
“Then what do you consider fun?”
“Going to Crane City.”
“Don’t joke around. I’ve heard the Dragon Slaying Clan is mobilizing; they’ll enter the Central Plains soon. Spare your father so worry. This isn’t a ga—you could get captured.”
“Why would they capture ?”
“Heh, why do you think they targeted your sister back in Crane City?”
Only then did Yu Yun hold her tongue.
“Just stay put and save others so worry.”
…
Jiang Zhuge returned and reported on the Alliance Leader’s eting, and added, “Tomorrow, Su Hong plans to invite us over to discuss how to handle the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
Ye Chen rely nodded, then asked, “Hasn’t he made his mind up already?”
“Not yet, he wants to hear everyone’s opinion.”
“Didn’t they co up with any suggestions today?”
Jiang Zhuge, who had gotten so information from Fang Ziren, replied, “Not really. They made so comnts, but nothing systematically planned, so it’s as good as saying nothing. They were primarily focused on choosing their Alliance Leader and acknowledging New City Sect’s entrance into the Central Plains. Everyone agreed.”
“Seems like they’re unaware of the danger the Dragon Slaying Clan presents.” Ye Chen remarked coldly.
“There are a few who do sense the danger.”
“Probably because they didn’t see the Wasteland City engulfed in flas and don’t know the ruthlessness of Mutant Winged Dragon.”
“Ah, you can just bring that up tomorrow.” Jiang Zhuge added. “They may truly be unaware of the Dragon Slaying Clan’s power, still assuming it’s the sa as 18 years ago.”
It was because of their negligence that Ye Chen’s group fell into Mutant Winged Dragon’s ambush. He can’t afford to be careless.
“Alright, we’ll see what happens tomorrow.”
“Or, we could ask Can Mo and his team to withdraw back to the Central Plains.” Jiang Zhuge suggested, “Holding them at the entrance probably won’t deter the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
Ye Chen nodded, “Okay, let them head directly to the Heavenly City Sect.” He was certain the Dragon Slaying Clan would target the Heavenly City Sect. Even after two days, he hadn’t changed that belief.
Jiang Zhuge asked, “Ye Chen, how do you think they’ll move?”
“In a war, it’s typically the surprising strategy that wins.”
“A surprising strategy?”
“Yes, they will use so unconventional moves. Didn’t we lose in the Wastelands because of their cunning strategies?”
“That makes sense.”
“They wouldn’t boldly announce their intent to attack; they would wait until you’ve raised your shield before launching an assault!”
“Do you think they will attack Demon Palace City?”
“That’s possible, but the Demon Palace City has a very powerful defense system. I still think they’re more likely to prioritize the Heavenly City Sect.”
“But they failed last ti.”
“Even with one setback, killing six to seven hundred of them is inconsequential for the Dragon Slaying Clan. Plus, they just took over the Sky Domain City, substantially increasing their strength.”
“I heard that Mutant Winged Dragon plans to leave Shen Li and a team behind to secure the Wastelands, and lead the rest into action.”
Ye Chen nodded.
“Then shouldn’t we recapture the Wastelands while they’re entering the Central Plains?”
Ye Chen shook his head, understanding the risks of the plan: “Even if we recapture the Wastelands, we wouldn’t be able to hold it. It could easily be retaken by the Dragon Slaying Clan. Rather than that, we should stay in the Central Plains, team up with those from the Immortal City and Demon Domain, and defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan. Only by defeating them can we safely return to the Wastelands.”
“Yes, we need to avenge our fallen New City Sect mbers.”
“We need a level head. I also want revenge, but we must survive to avenge our fallen sect mbers. Let’s not let the thirst for revenge cloud our judgnt. We must take things step by step, considering that we’re up against a formidable opponent.”
“Yes, Sect Leader is right.”
“From my perspective, Mutant Winged Dragon is quite clever. I didn’t realize it before, but after what happened in Wasteland City, I can see that he’s a calm individual, not one to act recklessly.”
Jiang Zhuge nodded in agreent.
“Let’s all be careful.”
“Then I’ll send Can Mo and Kong Sha to lead their teams to the Heavenly City Sect territory.”
“Alright, if they discover anything, ask them to inform us imdiately.”
With that, Jiang Zhuge left swiftly.
Once again, Ye Chen fell into deep thought. All they could do now was to wait for the Dragon Slaying Clan, those devils, to enter the Central Plains.
