Chapter 232: Chapter 223: Your father’s words, very strange Chapter 232: Chapter 223: Your father’s words, very strange Ye Chen gave a fake smile and said, “Your father’s words are quite strange.”
“Hurry up and finish your food, then come back with me.” Ling’er knew that her father must have misunderstood.
“I should go back, go back to see your father, there’s really no need, right?”
“Of course, if you don’t go back and see my father, how can you clarify things?”
“Once I see him, things will only become more unclear.”
Ling’er became anxious and shouted, “Are you really not coming back with me!”
“I’m not.”
“You’ve let my father misunderstand and yet you’re not willing to come back and clarify things with me.” Wei Yiling was very angry.
“If I go back with you, things will only become more confused.”
“Knowing this, yet you still talked nonsense with Wan Lan.”
“How was I to know she would talk nonsense to your father. Doesn’t that girl wish us to be together just so she can throw this burden onto me?”
Ling’er stood up with a dumpling in her hand, reminding him, “Don’t you dare run away.”
“Ha-ha, I didn’t do anything, so why can’t I run away?”
Ling’er had already left, leaving Ye Chen alone in the courtyard.
Ling’er ran back to her own courtyard and saw Wan Lan. Wan Lan was somewhat surprised and said, “You finally decided to come back.” She believed in what Ye Chen said.
Ling’er poured herself a cup of tea and said, “My father came looking for me this morning, didn’t he?”
“He looked for you last night, but you didn’t come back all night. We were worried for you.”
“You misunderstood.”
“What did I misunderstand?”
“About Ye Chen and I.”
“Both of you were sleeping together, how is there any misunderstanding?”
“No, we didn’t sleep together last night.”
“Ha-ha, I saw it with my own eyes, you didn’t come home.”
“That jerk was just talking nonsense to you, don’t you know what kind of person he is!”
“You were sleeping in his room, how can he possibly talk nonsense.”
A maid cleaning the room laughed.
“Did you tell everyone about me?” Wei Yiling questioned.
“I am not that gossipy.” Wan Lan continued to say, “You dared to give yourself to Ye Chen so carelessly, aren’t you afraid that he will betray you one day? When you regret it and come back to take care of the child alone, he won’t want you anymore.”
“Ah, what I want to say isn’t that. Last night, nothing happened. I did sleep in his room, but he slept in the storeroom. I was a bit drunk and when I came back to Sky Lake Manor, it was already destroyed, so I simply stayed at Liuye Manor.”
“I don’t believe a word you’re saying.”
“Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Anyway, I don’t need to explain, I still have to go and clarify things with my father.” Wei Yiling said as she stood up.
“I’m worried that you will be taken advantage of.”
“Don’t worry, I am a grown woman. I know whether I will be taken advantage of or not.” Ling’er said and then turned to leave.
Ye Chen was without any clues, wandering the streets. He found an inn with a few pieces of silver. The recovery power of Wasteland City was indeed strong. What happened yesterday seemed like it had never happened.
He was in an inn listening to a story when suddenly a group of people started discussing something.
This piqued Ye Chen’s curiosity, so he went over to listen. What he heard was something about a Zen Master, Yang Jing, and Jue Ming, also something about Shen Tian and Shen Li.
Ye Chen seemed to have heard of Shen Tian and Shen Li. Curiously, he asked, “The Shen Tian and Shen Li you’re talking about, are they the ones who used to guard the Gate of the Wasteland?”
A guy immediately affirmed, “Of course they are that Shen Tian and Shen Li.”
“I heard their martial arts are very impressive.” Ye Chen added.
“Of course, or else they wouldn’t have guarded the Gate of the Wasteland for thousands of years.”
“Who is that Zen Master?”
“We don’t know, but anyone who can command Shen Tian and Shen Li must not be ordinary.” A man with crossed arms replied.
Ye Chen nodded in agreement, things were moving fast.
“I wonder what has happened in Central Plains.” Someone voiced their conjecture.
Another person added, “It seems the Wastelands will be full of incidents soon.”
Someone nodded in agreement, “Yes, they’ve brought in Yang Jing and Jue Ming in one fell swoop. Shen Tian and Shen Li are now their subordinates. This cannot be an ordinary person; I fear their intentions are not good.”
“So do we know where this person came from?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“They have just entered the Wastelands. We had never heard of this person in the Wastelands before.”
“Do we know what their purpose is?”
A person answered, “They took in Jue Ming and Yang Jing all at once, declaring that anyone who doesn’t obey will be killed. Think about it and you’ll figure out what they’re planning.”
“It seems like they want to unify the Wastelands.” Someone answered.
How could such a big event happen in the Wastelands overnight and he knew nothing about it?
“Does anyone know where Shen Tian and Shen Li went?” Ye Chen asked curiously again.
“I heard they went to sea, but no one knows exactly where.”
At this time, someone said: “If they can bring Shen Tian and Shen Li under their command, this person must be extraordinary.” No matter how you look at it, Shen Tian and Shen Li are both renowned figures in the Wasteland, it wouldn’t be possible to control them without some real abilities.”
“They even brought in Yang Jing and Jue Ming in one swoop.”
“They must be planning to further infiltrate the Wasteland next.”
Someone suddenly said, “With New City Sect present, and they now control Wasteland City, I believe they should be able to cope. They can’t possibly compare with the likes of Yang Jing and Jue Ming.”
