Chapter 330: Chapter 317: Considering for the Other Party
Ye Chen sat in the yard in a daze. It wasn’t until noon that he went to the main hall to discuss upcoming matters. After eating breakfast, he wasn’t sure where to go.
At that mont, Yu Yun hurried in. As soon as she entered, she exclaid, “Monkey, why didn’t you co last night?” She had been looking for Ye Chen last night, wanting to take him to the party at Yingyun Pavilion. Yet, the mischievous protagonisr seed to have disappeared into the sky. She had searched for a long ti but had found no trace of him.
“I said I would go when I was free, and wouldn’t go if I wasn’t.”
“Nonsense! How could you not have the ti? I asked your subordinates, they said you were out and about, not on any serious business. You’re intentionally avoiding it, aren’t you scared to go? Is it because of my sister that you’re restless?” Yu Yun said.
“Well, think however you like, if it pleases you.” Truthfully, he was afraid to go. Five years ago, in Immortal City, he had his fair share of experiences. He did not want to offend Zhan Ze. After the tension from the past, he has beco sowhat fearful. It’s better to avoid unnecessary troubles. What others say does not matter, it’s just an empty courtesy after all.
He has but one pressing matter at hand – to avenge the people who died.
“Well, I really didn’t expect you to be so narrow-minded and stubborn. Even when an old friend invites you, you dare not go.”
“Say what you wish.” Ye Chen breathed a long sigh.
“Is it because my sister married Zhan Ze instead of you that you’re envious?”
“That’s not how it is at all. If your sister can truly be happy, I would pray for her every day.”
“Who knows! Perhaps you are hoping for my sister and brother-in-law to separate soon.”
“You’re looking at this from such a negative perspective. Anyway, no matter what I say now, it’s impossible for you to believe . So, why should I even bother to explain.”
Yu Yun gulped down two cups of tea and said, “Could it be that you’re worried that Zhan Ze might misunderstand, or are you upset because he snatched my sister away from you?”
Ye Chen gave a cold chuckle.
“Is that so?”
“Less contact is better. I didn’t really plan to stay here for long in the first place. I am afraid of getting entangled in matters. Once entangled, I cannot stand it. I really don’t want to waste my ti and energy on such trivial matters. For your sister’s good, we should see each other less.”
“That’s not the case, my sister and Zhan Ze are getting along well.” Even though he said it was for her sister, she was a little touched and felt his reasoning was understandable.
“That’s just what you see. So people, they are hard to change in a lifeti.”
“You are talking about Zhan Ze.”
“It doesn’t matter who I’m talking about, in any case, we should avoid where possible. This would be beneficial for your sister, trust , alright?”
“Hah, you are still considering things from my sister’s perspective, do you know that so folks say you are too high-profile and look down upon them?”
“Well, let them say it. After all, I don’t care about these things. It further proves that my decision not to go is right. If I was narrow-minded enough to be provoked by a few remarks, then it seems that I’m really not cut out to be soone of significance in this lifeti.” Ye Chen said.
“It sounds like you’re very majestic and awe-inspiring.”
“I’m neither majestic nor awe-inspiring. I only understand that it’s better to keep a distance, it’s better for everyone.”
“So, you’re going to sever all ties with my sister.”
“As good friends, we just need to keep each other in our hearts. There’s no need to show it. As long as everyone is okay, nothing else matters.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yun finally quieted down, as if relieved.
Ye Chen then said, “Don’t ntion
in front of your sister or Zhan Ze.”
Yu Yun gave Ye Chen a sidelong glance, not knowing what he ant, and felt puzzled.
“Really, just trust
this once.”
“Are you overreacting? Zhan Ze is not that petty.”
“Perhaps, indeed, a lot has changed in the course of five years. Maybe I am making a big deal out of nothing. But overreacting is still better than if sothing really happened.” As Ye Chen quietly sipped his tea, the girl finally had nothing left to say.
“I know my sister likes you and I know Zhan Ze likes my sister. Did sothing happen later?”
“You really are quite ddleso,” said Ye Chen.
“I am rely curious.”
“Your curiosity is indeed quite broad,” said Ye Chen.
“You don’t have to be so apprehensive.” She thought that this protagonist was doing things reasonably and seed pretty good.
“Are you not condemning
anymore!”
“Last night, everyone was waiting for you.”
“As I said, I might be busy and couldn’t make it. Why were they waiting for ?”
“Aren’t you all friends!”
“It’s different now.” Ye Chen didn’t want to do anything uncertain. After all, he was no longer the naive child he once was. There are considerations to be had in whatever he does.
Yu Yun lazily said: “I thought you didn’t go because my sister married Zhan Ze instead of you, and you were throwing a childish tantrum. If that’s the case, I can only dismiss you.”
“So, you really think I’m that kind of person? Just because of a woman, I would beco petty and make a fuss. Wouldn’t that be too degrading of ?”
“That’s hard to say. All boys are the sa. They never speak their true feelings. Perhaps they will hide and heal their wounds secretly.”
“Then you really don’t know
at all. How could I do such a thing? I’m a person with lofty ambitions. There will be plenty of won in the future. Why would I hide and heal my wounds.”
“We all say it like that. Haotian also says that. He said you think you’re a failure, so you dare not co. He also joked about you, saying how you sold your body to beco the sect leader of the New City Sect.”
“It seems these guys, really have nothing better to do. With no productive work to do, they just ruminate over useless matters. They behave like kids who never grow up. It’s good that I didn’t go.”
“What do you an?” asked Yu Yun.
“With these kinds of people, things can go awry over a small disagreent.” said Ye Chen.
“You can’t say that, Haotian really got drunk that night.”
“If you’re drunk, you shouldn’t be out and about. What are you even doing?”
“Still sulking over what happened that night?”
“We’re not on the sa path; it’s better if we see less of each other.”
“Ha, weren’t you guys pretty good together before?”
“Good? I don’t feel anything of the sort.” Ye Chen said.
“But, you do seem to care a lot about my sister.”
“Of course, I always consider things from others’ perspectives.”
“Don’t make yourself sound so selfless.” Yu Yun mocked.
“But I am pretty selfless.”
“It’s a pity that the other night, my sister waited anxiously for you for so long, and you never ca. What a sha.”
Ye Chen suddenly pretended to be serious, and asked, “Was your sister really anxious?”
“What are you thinking?”
“Just asking.”
“Stop overthinking. My sister fully transitioned from a girl to a woman, she is a married woman.”
“But your sister is quite beautiful.”
“What’s the use of saying this to
now!”
“Ha, I just wanted to complint her.” Ye Chen said.
“Am I not beautiful?” Yu Yun asked.
“Ha, why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Sa father, different mothers, can we be the sa? You’re like a female monkey.”
A slap flew over.
Ye Chen quickly dodged, managing to avoid it swiftly.
“No matter how beautiful she is, she’s married to soone else. You have no chance.”
“I was just saying she’s beautiful, I didn’t an anything else.”
“Even if you ant sothing else, it’s useless because she belongs to soone else.”
“You don’t need to remind .” Ye Chen continued to sip his tea.
“Where were you last night?”
“Why should I tell you?”
“Are you so secretive?” Yu Yun continued, “You should have told
last night, at least, so that I wouldn’t have waited for you for too long.”
“If you like waiting that much, keep waiting. I didn’t ask you to.”
“The girl from Wasteland City left, don’t you plan to start a new relationship?”
“Ha, you seem quite concerned about this.”
“As a friend, of course, I’d like to care.”
“Ha, as long as you don’t an anything else.”
Yu Yun rolled her eyes, knowing what he ant, “I heard that the Dragon Slaying Clan is about to enter the Central Plains. How about I serve as your deputy and help you, we can join forces.”
“You should find soone else to cooperate with. Our temple is too small to accommodate a big god like you. We are trying to sneak into the Central Plains.”
“I’m not so big god.”
“If you aren’t a big god, I can’t protect you. Hurry, go back to your father. He’s so aweso, you should go and help him, find a male monkey and get married.”
“It’s not fun to follow him.”
“Ha, you feel like playing? It’s not sothing fun, people might die anyti.” Ye Chen continued, “During this period, you’d better find a place to hide. Don’t wander around. I believe it’s going to be really chaotic. I have no idea what it would end up like.”
“Don’t scare .”
“I don’t have ti to scare you. I’ve seen it in Wasteland City. He’s a big devil, a very big one. He won’t joke with you. Whether you believe
or not, but I can tell you, once you see that scene, you will have the sa nightmare for the rest of your life.”
Ye Chen stood up, “I don’t have ti to chat with you, I have to go to the great hall.”
“Are you going to discuss dealing with the Dragon Slaying Clan?”
“Of course. Do you think we are as idle as you, always acting lovesick and wanting a man written all over your face!”
“Who says I’m idle and what ‘wanting a man’!”
“I think, Immortal City won’t be too safe either, you’d better leave Immortal City and find sowhere safe.”
“You, already wanting to hide before the fight starts.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t hide, but you can.”
It was already midday without them realizing.
The little girl asked, “Aren’t you going to finish lunch before you go?”
“No need, they are preparing delicious food in the great hall.”
