Chapter 593: Chapter 579: On the Eve of Danger
Lin Yongwen instructed the people to set Wang Dong down and said, “You claim that Ye Chen, the Sect Leader of New City Sect, is now the ntor to your young mistress.” Then, they untied Wang Dong.
Wang Dong had a cup of tea to suppress his shock, and said, “Yes, that’s right. He has changed his na to Ye now, probably due to a jolt, after the death of his new wife, he couldn’t accept it all at once, so he wandered around, then was found by Yang Jing’s people.”
“You’re not trying to fool , are you?”
“I wouldn’t dare to do that even if you handed
ten tis the courage. You know, the No. One Hero, who saved Wan Danrong when she was captured last ti, and saved Feng Niang from an encirclent another ti. Who do you think did it? It was this drunkard, who has high martial arts skills and was able to rescue Wan Danrong from two dozen people and save Feng Niang from an encircling mob in the Wastelands. Who else can do such thing! Only the Sect Leader of the New City Sect.”
Hearing this, Lin Yongwen began to believe a bit.
“I wouldn’t dare lie to you. I know I can’t run away. If I did lie, I would just keep my hand a few more days.”
Lin Yongwen fell silent for a while, then said, “Have soone draw a portrait of him for .”
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong replied, “Sure, I can draw it for you now. But you have to assure
that once you catch him, all the silver I owe you will be written off.”
“Let’s see whether it’s true first,” Lin Yongwen said.
“But I have to tell you, you need to hurry and inform Third Demon’s people as soon as possible, because this guy plans to leave the Wan Residence.”
“Leave?”
“Yes, he said once he could contact the New City Sect, he would leave the Wan Residence and leave Wanshou City. You have to make contact quickly.” Wang Dong quickly sketched a likeness, saying, “It’s not a very good likeness, but it’s about 70% accurate.”
He then handed it to Lin Yongwen.
Looking at the sketch, Lin Yongwen began to believe even more.
Wang Dong said, “Once you catch him, you can write off my silver debt, right?”
“We’ll see.”
“You have to act fast. If he manages to escape, I won’t take the responsibility,” said Wang Dong.
Lin Yongwen replied, “Keep an eye on him for . I will act as quickly as I can.”
“Alright, let’s settle on that. You have to move quickly.” Wang Dong was so pleased that he could keep his hand, he couldn’t think of anything else.
Lin Yongwen further warned, “Don’t even think about running away. If this is real, everything can be discussed. But if you deceive , you won’t be able to escape.”
“Rest assured, I won’t run. Where could I run away to?” Wang Dong broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly left the gambling parlor.
Wan Danrong returned from her father’s place.
Yi i run up to her, asking, “How did it go?”
“He’s as clueless as us, firmly believes that it’s fake, probably so people want to make trouble and don’t want us to join the Third Demon, so they’re spreading these rumors.” Wan Danrong said.
“Great, they surely are idle, spreading such ghostly rumors.”
“Let’s have lunch, I’m hungry,” she said.
Yi i nodded.
Lin Yongwen went back and then t his father Lin Wei, and told him about the matter. He recounted Wang Dong’s words verbatim and handed over the sketch that Wang Dong had given him, saying, “Dad, don’t you have soone around you who has t the Sect Leader of the New City Sect? Get him to identify this. Then we’ll know if it’s true or not.”
Lin Wei imdiately called his subordinate over, albeit without much hope.
Surprisingly, the subordinate nodded and said, “Yes, it looks 70% like Ye Chen, the Sect Leader of the New City Sect.”
Lin Wei was startled, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“I can’t be wrong. Trust , it’s him. His hair has beco a bit more ragged, but his facial shape doesn’t change.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yongwen said, “It seems that the Sect Leader of the New City Sect really is in the Wan Residence. Even Wan Guangde doesn’t know about it.”
Hearing this, Lin Wei fell silent.
Lin Yongwen said, “This guy, how did he infiltrate the Wan Residence? We must inform Luo Hai’s people as soon as possible to co and capture this fellow. Perhaps we might even accomplish a great feat.”
Lin Wei suddenly thought of sothing and said, “No, this is a golden opportunity, a great opportunity to deal with the Wan Residence.”
Lin Yongwen did not understand, “Dad, a great opportunity to deal with the Wan Residence?”
Lin Wei wanted to bring down the Wan Residence for a long ti. As long as Wanshou City had the Wan Residence, the Lin Family would never have its day. This was indeed a good opportunity, he said, “The people from Wan Residence, harboring the Sect Leader of the New City Sect, this is no small matter!”
“But they don’t know that the Sect Leader of the New City Sect is in the Wan Residence, can it still considered as harboring?”
“Ha, but the fugitive is in the Wan Residence, although it is not harboring, it is the fact. Whether it is harboring or not, it is up to us to decide.”
“Father, what do you intend to do? Can we deal with the Wan Residence?”
In his heart, Lin Wei thought of a plan, and murmured to himself, “You all can’t bla .”
“Father, what do you plan to do?”
“Whether our Lin Family can gain the upper hand in Wanshou City depends on this.”
Lin Wei was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure; he was so excited that he could hardly speak.
“Wang Dong said this guy could leave at any ti.”
“Um, son, let Wang Dong help to keep an eye on him. I will set off tonight to et Luo Hai. Rest assured, I will be back soon.”
“Rest assured, this matter is up to .”
“Whether or not our Lin Family can beco the master of Wanshou City, depends on this ti.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yongwen also beca excited.
Lin Wei set off overnight, leaving Wanshou City, to et Luo Hai.
Ye Chen was waiting for the news, he believed that it would arrive soon.
He looked up at the moon; tonight’s moon was still very round.
The servant girl ca in and asked, “Yo, you’re not heading to the street to party tonight, taking Rong’er out boating again?”
Ye Chen turned his head and asked, “How did you know about the boating?”
“Hehe, a servant girl saw it.”
“Really can’t do anything without arousing attention around here.”
“Hey, it’s your blessing that our young lady can accompany you on a boat.”
“What blessing are you talking about? I was the one accompanying her, ok?”
“So, did anything happen during the boating?”
“What do you think happened between us?” Ye Chen glanced at her and said, “You are truly wicked, little servant girl, full of dirty images.”
“Isn’t it you who’s wicked?” The servant girl tidied up the surroundings, making it cleaner.
“What are you busy for? Keep
company to watch the moon.”
“I wouldn’t dare. If Rong’er heard we watched the moon together, I wouldn’t be able to bear her wrath.”
“Do you think there should be sothing between us?”
“Not just , everyone thinks so.”
“The gossips didn’t miss anything, did they?”
The maid chuckled, “The highest number of rumors is about you and Rong’er’s mother.”
“Really! What exactly are they saying about us?”
“As a young man, why would you seek to spend ti with soone’s mother-in-law?”
“She’s delightful. In the absence of company, I’d rather chat with her.”
“You have no sha! If the old master finds out, you’re dead at.”
“Honestly, I’m not afraid if he finds out.”
“You, you’re such a mischief.”
Ye Chen chuckled.
Just then, a voice called from outside, “Is Ye here?”
“Look, speak of the devil and he will appear,” said the maid.
Wan Danrong jumped in, carrying a basket in her hand.
Ye Chen glanced at her and said, “Tonight, you’re not here to confess your love to
again, are you?”
The maid couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re overthinking. I just ca to check if you’re lonely in the courtyard,” said Wan Danrong.
“No need, I wish I could be alone and have so peace,” Ye Chen said.
Wan Danrong waved her hand and said, “Maid, bring out the food in the basket.”
The maid hurried over.
Wan Danrong sat down.
Ye Chen asked, “Do you really miss
that much?”
Wan Danrong took a sip of tea and said, “Who said I miss you?”
“That’s good, then. Don’t bother seeing
off when I leave; I hate sappy goodbyes.”
Upon hearing this, the maid asked, “Are you leaving?”
“Yeah, sad, isn’t it?” Ye Chen said.
“Hurry up and leave, then I can relax,” the maid said.
“I’ll take you with , maid.”
Wan Danrong looked at Ye, knowing he was just joking.
“You should take Rong’er away.”
Ye seed to be intent on teasing Rong’er.
“Her? I wouldn’t dare. If her dad found out I seduced her to elope, he’d kill
outright.”
The maid said again, “To wander the world like a beggar?”
“Maybe not to wander, but to enjoy life, who knows,” Ye Chen said.
“Such a great opportunity should be reserved for Rong’er.”
“She’s already enjoying life.”
Of course, the maid knew Rong’er had feelings for Ye Chen. Not wanting to interfere, she laughed and said, “I am not so fortunate, I couldn’t possibly live a life like that.” She unpacked the food and quickly excused herself.
Soon, only Ye Chen and Wan Danrong were left in the pavilion.
Wan Danrong seed to have quieted down a bit.
“What’s wrong, can’t wait for
to leave?”
“I just want to know where you’re going.”
“Certainly not leaving the Wastelands.”
“So mysterious, not even telling .”
“You really want to know?”
“Yes, I really want to know.”
Ye Chen glanced around, whispered, “Have you heard any rumors about our Wan Residence lately?”
“What rumors?”
Ye Chen: “About the leader of New City Sect.”
Wan Danrong’s eyes widened, “You’re the Sect Leader of the New City Sect?”
“Quiet.”
“You wouldn’t be fooling , would you?”
“Why would I fool you, do I not look like a Sect Leader to you!”
“I don’t know what to believe from you now.”
“Is it that serious!”
“Are you really the Sect Leader of the New City Sect?”
“You wouldn’t betray
for silver, would you?” Ye Chen asked while munching on a roasted chicken leg.
Wan Danrong could hardly believe it and said, “The Sect Leader of New City Sect is in Wan Residence, truly in Wan Residence, how did the outside world find out?”
“They guessed randomly. Last ti when I saved Feng Niang, one of the leaders recognized . After I rescued Feng Niang, to spite Wan Residence, he claid that I’m in Wan Residence. But they shouldn’t know I’m actually in Wan Residence.”
