Chapter 66: Chapter 62: Evil Domain
Guo Yuqing and Jiang Shizi, carrying so food, arrived at the Pear Blossom Garden.
Ren Xiongbei happened to be coming out of it with Ye Xue and Ye Chen.
Upon seeing them, Yuqing asked, “Godmother, are you really taking Ye Chen away from Immortal City?” Her reluctance to part was clear in her deanor, making it seem as if she wanted to say, ‘I’ll marry your son instead.’
Ye Xue looked up, offered a slight smile, and said, “You’ve all woken up so early too.”
“Today, since Godmother is departing, of course, I would co to bid you farewell. I don’t know when we will able to et again.”
Shizi handed so food to Ye Chen, who accepted it.
Ren Xiongbei headed forward first, saying, “We’ll wait for you by the main gate.” He had so matters to attend to, and would proceed once he was done. Ye Xue acknowledged him with a nod.
“Have you considered where you’ll go? If you have nowhere else, co to our Demon Palace. I can arrange a place for you, and Ye Chen can practise his martial arts there,” Yuqing suggested.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xue chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, we already have a destination. We’re heading to the Qingxuan Sect.”
Once Yuqing realized this, she stopped fretting over them. She knew that Su Hong would already have everything arranged. Pondering a mont, she said, “Ah, the Qingxuan Sect is indeed a good choice. It has developed quite a lot over the years.”
Ye Xue simply nodded in response.
Yuqing said to Ye Chen, “Monkey, once you reach the Qingxuan Sect, don’t forget ! If I have the leisure, I might pay a visit.”
Ye Chen thought to himself, ‘Are you not going to let
go?’
“Don’t be foolish.” Yuqing playfully nudged him, as if ready to bid him a goodbye kiss.
“I’m not being foolish,” Ye Chen protested.
“I’m only worried that I would disturb you.”
Ye Chen offered yet another subtle smile.
“If I get a chance, I will co to see you.”
“There is really no need to. I might already be in a relationship with soone else by then.”
Qing’er made a face.
Ye Xue asked, “Miss Guo, are you heading back to the Demon Palace after the martial arts contest?”
“Yes, that’s about the right ti. Immortal City is not my ho,” Guo Yuqing inford her.
“Ahh, indeed.”
“Take care of yourselves.”
“Ren Xiongbei is escorting us to the Qingxuan Sect.”
“Good, have a safe trip to the Qingxuan Sect. If you need any help, just co and find us at the Demon Palace. I will surely do what I could, even if it ans going through fire and water.”
Ye Chen offered a cold smile, whispering, “Maybe it should be
who’s going through fire and water!”
“Who asked you to go through fire and water?” Yuqing retorted.
“If you promise not to bother
anymore, I would worship you as my Guanyin Bodhisattva,” said Ye Chen.”
“In that case, I will definitely disturb you. I have so acquaintances at the Qingxuan Sect. I might drop by when I have the ti.”
“Coming again? A temptress you are.”
“What do you an by ‘coming again’?” Yuqing questioned.
They soon reached the main gate, where Ren Xiongbei was already waiting with a group of people.
Yuqing was sowhat reluctant to part. It wasn’t easy finding soone she could confide in. And now, with him departing, it felt as if her heart was leaving as well.
“Don’t cling on too much. Take care of yourself and stop pining for n,” Ye Chen advised.
“Yes, you should also take care of yourself. Don’t forget .” Guo Yuqing wasn’t sure when they would et again.
Ye Chen managed a faint smile.
“These days, I’ve been truly happy. And everything I told you yesterday was from the bottom of my heart.”
Ye Chen glanced at Qing’er. This was a clear declaration of her affections.
Sudden cicada songs filled the stillness of the air, seemingly going mad with their chaotic calls.
Ye Chen looked around; only the two of them had co to see them off. It was understandable; those two mother and son probably couldn’t wait to bury them and Yuan Jingxing and Ren Haotian certainly wouldn’t be there to see them off.
Ye Xue said, “Let’s head back. Let’s go.”
Despite Ye Chen’s anticipation, Su Hong didn’t show. The carriage slowly moved away.
“Didn’t you send away sothing?” Shizi continued, “Like a token of love.”
“Why didn’t you ntion it earlier?” Yuqing watched the carriage disappear, feeling sowhat uneasy.
“Just run after them, follow them. I think you can still catch up. As for calling her ‘Godmother’, you can just call her ‘Mother’. Give him a hug, a farewell kiss!”
“You little ghost, are you mocking ?” She rushed over to her playfully.
“Seriously, if you can’t bear to part, just catch up with him. You still have the chance to. Stop being so distracted, your eyes are practically popping out.”
“You cheeky girl, just wait till I get my hands on you.” With that, Qing’er lunged at her.
The carriage swayed as it headed down the mountain. Everything fell silent, and even Ye Xue was no exception.
The mountain path was bumpy, causing Ren Xiongbei to reduce the speed.
Ye Chen kept stealing glances behind. That had been Immortal City, he wondered whether he would ever have a chance to return to it. He was mulling over whether he could ever see Su Hong again, whom he had regarded as family internally.
“Stop watching, sit properly,” Ye Xue, on the other side, reminded him.
Though he could understand Su Hong’s absence, Ye Chen wondered why Su wouldn’t acknowledge him. Was it because of Feng Niani’s wrath? That anger was so great it even drove him to disown his own son, and thus, Ye Chen lost himself in deep thought.
Ye Xue was not inclined to talk.
Outside, Ren Xiongbei inford, “Ye Xue, we’ll go to Crane City first, prepare what we need for the journey, and then set off.”
“Yes, you arrange it then,” Ye Xue responded.
Ren Xiongbei added, “I have so matters that I need to arrange.”
“Okay, no problem,” Ye Xue responded.
The gates of Immortal City had already disappeared behind them, and Ye Chen was fiddling with the Jade Ring on his neck.
Ye Xue looked at Ye Chen’s beaten-up face and asked, “Who did this to you, because of that girl?”
Ye Chen was surprised. He hadn’t expected his mother to infer in that direction and was taken aback.
Ye Xue gave a cold smile and said, “I am quite sure it had sothing to do with her.”
Amazing, how did she know that, Ye Chen responded, “No, it’s because I witnessed an attack on Zhan Ze that day. I saw Dongfang Tang there. Later, Dongfang Tang got beaten up by his father and was grounded for ten days. Qiao Haoyu took out his anger on
as a way to get back.”
“Well, why did you identify him? You should have known this wouldn’t end too well!”
Ye Chen lowered his head upon hearing this.
“It seems like you had fewer injuries yesterday morning!” She poked him with her hand, showing a bit of disappointnt.
Ye Chen quickly moved out of the way.
“Now you know it hurts, right? If you know the pain, stop ddling in other people’s business. Handle your own affairs well. You deserve to be beaten if you don’t listen to my advice.”
Ye Chen was speechless.
“You won’t learn until you are beaten.”
Ye Chen lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Ye Xue couldn’t help but show her concern, “Did you bring the dicine?”
Ye Chen quickly dug into his bag, “I’ve applied it this morning. It doesn’t hurt anymore, don’t worry.”
“I can’t bear your pain for you, give
the dicine.”
Ye Chen handed over the dicine.
Ye Xue said, “Hold on tight.”
“Are there any other injuries on your body?” Ye Xue inquired.
Ye Chen quickly shook his head, “No, just on my face.”
“I have nothing to worry about, the one who suffers knows their pain. Without a lesson, you would never improve.”
Ye Chen knew very well that it was just his mother venting. She often used reverse psychology.
anwhile, Ren Xiongbei outside said, “I can see Crane City ahead. It should be around noon by the ti we get there. We can have lunch there and then set off.”
“Okay, we are not in a hurry. Handle your business first,” Ye Xue said.
Ye Xue knew very well that Su Hong was very close to Ren Xiongbei in the Immortal City, which is why the duty of escorting them was given to Ren.
“I am sorry about last night. It must have thrown the Immortal City into chaos,” Ye Xue apologized.
“Ah, you should understand. Feng Niani is naturally temperantal. She shouldn’t have made such a fuss last night.”
“You should not speak so. The problem is with .”
Ye Chen looked at Ye Xue. It seed true.
“That’s just how she is. It’s always been that way.”
“We can’t bla her,” Ye Xue added.
As expected, they reached Crane City around noon. Ren Xiongbei found an inn and said, “Let’s eat sothing, you too need rest. Order whatever you want.”
“How much can we eat!” Ye Xue laughed and asked, “What about you?”
“We, of course, will eat, but I have to handle so work first. Order the food, and we will be back soon.” Ren Xiongbei left with one of his subordinates while the rest of his disciples stayed on the ground floor.
“What do you want to eat?” Ye Xue asked.
“Roast chicken, of course,” Ye Chen answered.
“Didn’t that girl give us so food?”
Ye Chen suddenly rembered that he had left all the food in the horse car, “I’ll fetch from the car.”
“No need, save it for the road.” Ye Xue then started ordering.
One hour passed, and Ren Xiongbei returned with a disciple nad Peng Zijie.
“If I knew you were this busy, I wouldn’t have asked you to escort us, “Ye Xue said
Ren Xiongbei imdiately responded, “No, it’s not a problem. We just happened to co down the mountain. We are just passing on a ssage. The Evil Domain’s people have started appearing in the Central Plains. Everyone needs to be vigilant.”
“The people from the Evil Domain have started to appear in Central Plains?”
“Yes, but it’s not confird yet. It will take so ti.”
“Why would the people from the Evil Domain co out all of a sudden? What are they trying to do?”
“They are said to be looking for Earth Demon Island.”
“Earth Demon Island? Wasn’t that lost a long ti ago?”
“We aren’t sure if it’s true or false yet.”
“Is their appearance in the Central Plains related to the resurfacing of Earth Demon Island?”
“Yes, that’s why we’ve been quite busy recently.”
“If that’s the case, don’t bother escorting us to Qingxuan Sect anymore.”
“You know if I leave you here, Sect Leader Su will be angry.”
Ye Xue gave a faint smile upon hearing this.
“Don’t feel like you’re delaying us. Even if you weren’t going to Qingxuan Sect, I would still have to go there. We need to discuss how we can join forces if people from the Evil Domain really start appearing to face off against them.”
Ye Xue nodded, “There shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”
Ren Xiongbei replied, “Not a big problem. Even if they do co out, they won’t be able to handle us. Ten years ago, the Evil King Shi Xuetian was defeated and sealed in Hell Tower. Their strength is not as good as before. So, even with the new Evil King Sheng Kong, it’s impossible for them to regain their strength within ten years.”
Ye Xue nodded after listening and said, “Why would we need to worry about all this when there are people from Immortal City?”
