Chapter 173 - 173 168 An Old Friend Who Likes You

?Chapter 173: Chapter 168: An Old Friend Who Likes You Chapter 173: Chapter 168: An Old Friend Who Likes You “Did you provoke that girl again?” Feng Niang noticed that the girl was somewhat irritable and was very curious.

Ye Chen also glanced over and said, “She’s always like this; it’ll pass soon. Her mood is like the wind; it changes easily, so I understand her very well.”

“You must have irritated her.”

“She provoked me.”

“Did they say something bad about me again? Probably told you that I’m no good and you should stay away from me!”

“What is the real issue between you two?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“On the night her mother died, her father was with me, so he didn’t get to see her mother for the last time.”

“What? There’s actually such a thing? What is going on?”

“Her mother left without seeing her father for the last time. She thinks I killed her mother by not allowing her mother and father to say goodbye.”

“What happened that night? Were you two really entangled with each other?”

“It wasn’t like you think; something happened that night.” She seemed reluctant to explain.

“What happened?”

“Our relationship was pure. That night, I was injured and the heavy rain didn’t allow him to rush back.”

“I don’t think it was as pure as you say. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have waited for so many years.”

“Ah, let’s not talk about this. But I think you guys could try dating.” Feng Niang suggested.

“Try dating? You really have a sense of humor. Although she is somewhat tempting, I’m not interested,” Ye Chen said.

“Her temper isn’t great, but she seems to get along well with you.”

“I feel that I would get along better with you.”

“I’m too old for you, what’s the point?”

“Who says you’re old? I think you are very mature and stable.”

“Stop messing with me.” Feng Niang continued, “Trust me on this, that girl is interested in you.”

“How do you know?”

“I can tell. If she weren’t interested in you, she wouldn’t care about you so much. Always saying I’m not good enough for you and constantly reminding you.”

“Is that so? I think she’s just jealous of us being together, thinking I’m too handsome, she doesn’t want me to slip away,” Ye Chen blurted out.

“We’re not even together yet. Don’t talk nonsense,” Feng Niang said.

“I think it’s going to happen soon. I’m confident.”

“Give it up. I won’t be interested in someone so much younger than me. We’re not suitable,” Feng Niang said seriously.

“Then why would you prefer to be interested in someone much older than you!”

“Stop playing around. I can play the role of an elder sister, but don’t expect anything else. If you want to mess around, find someone else.”

“But I have an old friend who really likes you.” Ye Chen finally talked about the Red Demonic Spirit; he’d been persuaded by the Red Demonic Spirit to say a string of crazy things to Feng Niang over the past few days. It was time to clear things up.

“Old friends, we haven’t even known each other for a few days, and you have old friends who know me?”

“Yes, a very good old friend. He’s known you for as long as I have. It’s a little annoying.”

“But I’ve only seen you alone.” Feng Niang said, puzzled.

“This old friend of mine is quite special, very shy, not often seen by people, but also thick-skinned and often hides, so others hardly see him.”

“Hehe, so there are such old friends.”

“Yes, and I think I should introduce him to you sometime. It’s not suitable to meet now with so many people around. He is very interested in you.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“The Red Demonic Spirit.”

“Red Demonic Spirit, what Red Demonic Spirit?”

“A bodyless demonic spirit, like a soul, hidden in my body.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Actually, he taught me my martial arts. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to learn these martial arts. He’s hidden in my body. Many people want him. He’s very interested in you; you two should have a chat.” Ye Chen had given the Red Demonic Spirit quite a boost.

“Where to meet?”

“Whenever you’re free and there’s no one around, I’ll introduce you to each other.”

Feng Niang suddenly remembered something and said, “Five years ago, in the Central Plains, the Demon Domain located the Earth Demon Island. They said that two demonic spirits appeared there.”

“Yes, the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit. I ended up with the Red Demonic Spirit. He didn’t kill me, while the Black Demonic Spirit was seized by the Demon King Gao Ba.”

“Did you enter the Wastelands because they were searching for the Red Demonic Spirit?”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “It was inevitable.”

“Was your martial arts taught by the Red Demonic Spirit?”

“Yes, in a way.”

“He’s hiding on you.”

“Yes, without a host body, he would be easily detected – so he can only stick with me.”

“He also taught you martial arts.”

“I learned martial arts from this Jade Ring, however, he is my master. I was just a child and without his help, I wouldn’t have learned martial arts to this degree.” explained Ye Chen.

“Jade Ring? What Jade Ring?”

Ye Chen waggled the Jade Ring on his neck, saying: “This one here, all I know is that my dad gave it to me. Apart from harboring strong energy, it also carries a secret martial arts manual, and I learned my martial arts from it.

When no one is around, I’ll introduce you to him, he seems to like you. But please, sister, don’t mention it to anyone, otherwise, I’ll be hunted down again. However, you’ve got to be careful, he’s quite the lecher.”

People on the other side were shouting: “Alright, everyone, it’s time to set off.”

“Let’s go, it’s go time.”

Feng Niang asked curiously: “Why are you suddenly telling me this? Why do you want to inform me?”

“He really likes you, but it seems he has no chance. It’s time to put him out of his misery, otherwise, he will not rest peacefully.”

Wei Sisan called out: “Ye Chen, come ride on this horse car.”

Ye Chen glanced and said: “Why am I sharing a horse car with her?” It was that Wei Yiling.

“They can’t drive a horse car.” said Wei Sisan.

“I’d rather stay with my wife.”

“I have something to talk to Feng Niang about.” Wei Sisan said.

Only then did Ye Chen go over.

The young girl disdainfully glanced at him, seemingly still angry from the morning’s events.

“Are you going to strangle me?” Ye Chen mournfully asked.

“Just don’t provoke me, I might kick you under the horse car.”

“Fine, if the cart is overturned and you end up on your back, don’t blame me.” Ye Chen climbed onto the horse car, murmuring: “So many people, but we couldn’t find a single coachman.”

“If you really don’t want to, you can just get down, I’ll drive it myself.”

“No, I’d better drive, if we tumble over, I won’t take responsibility.”

The long line of horse carts was leaving Tianle City, but they were carrying quite a number of people.

They were heading directly for Wasteland City.

Kong Sha and his group had already buried the bodies they transported back, completing all the ceremonies, taking a full two days.

That day, Xiao Bai couldn’t sit still any longer, saying: “Now that the burials are done, I know that it’s not the appropriate time to rush this matter, but I have to say, with the Sect Leader gone, the New City Sect needs to continue. Gua Zhengnie has already said we can’t stay in Wasteland City, we urgently need a new Sect Leader. We should discuss where to move and who should preside over these decisions.”

All eyes were turned to him and Jiang Zhuge.

Xiao Bai said: “With a new leader, we’ll have someone to command us. I know Jiang’s abilities are good, but after all, he is not the Sect Leader. We need someone who can lead us, while Jiang deals with affairs cautiously, we need more than a cautious person, we need a charismatic leader.”

Someone sneered: “You’re not suggesting that this person is you, are you?”

Without any delay, Chen Jiu chimed in: “It should be our senior brother Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai is the one who has been with the Sect Leader for the longest time, naturally, he also has the most experience.”

“He hasn’t been cleared of suspicion yet.”

Xiao Bai said: “What do you mean cleared of suspicion, do you still suspect me?”

“You haven’t been exonerated yet.”

“Alright, since you are so suspicious of me, here is a way out. In the future, Jiang can bring someone to investigate this matter. If I am indeed involved with those men in black, you can execute me at any time.” Xiao Bai appeared confident, adding: “I have done so many things for the New City Sect, never made a mistake, always diligent. This time, I missed saving the Sect Leader, but it was inadvertent. If it wasn’t for the problems in Dongle City, I would have saved the Sect Leader long ago.”

Jiang Zhuge glanced at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai continued: “The death of the Sect Leader is heartbreaking, but we have to realize that there are still many matters for the New City Sect to handle, we need someone to preside over them. Although Can Mo and his group have escaped and gone into hiding, they are still in danger. If we don’t have a Sect Leader now, we don’t know how to handle our affairs.”

Only then did Jiang Zhuge say: “Then let’s vote for it.”

At this point, someone said: “We choose Jiang Zhuge as Sect Leader.”

Some started shouting in succession: “We choose Xiao Bai as Sect Leader.” and the room abruptly turned chaotic.

Chen Jiu suddenly spoke: “I think Jiang Zhuge is not suitable to be the Sect Leader.”

Someone objected: “Xiao Bai is the one not suitable to be the Sect Leader.”

Chen Jiu said: “Over the past few years, Jiang Zhuge has mainly been responsible for contacting various factions and recruiting students, these are all tasks typically done by scholars. While our senior brother Xiao, he has risked his life, doing all the hard work. He has settled numerous matters, all of you know it. In recent years, the Sect Leader rarely leaves Wasteland City, while all the major affairs are handled by senior brother Xiao. I think he is more suitable to be the Sect Leader.”

The dissatisfied person continued: “Heh, of course, you would say that, otherwise how could it work?”

“Yes, I understand that you think I would lean towards Xiao Bai, but I’m just stating the facts. When faced with major events, senior brother Xiao is more suitable than Jiang Zhuge. Though Jiang Zhuge handles affairs prudently, to lead New City Sect, we need more than just prudence, we need charisma, and I see more of this charisma in senior brother Xiao.”

Someone scoffed at this.

At this moment, Jiang Zhuge seemed less confident, saying: “In terms of leadership, I am indeed inferior to senior brother Xiao.”

Chen Jiu appeared to seize the opportunity, saying: “See, even Jiang Zhuge admits that in this respect he falls short of our senior brother Xiao. This isn’t me talking, while Jiang Zhuge has indeed accomplished a lot, if it weren’t for senior brother Xiao’s support, many of these tasks could not have been completed. Also, senior brother Xiao’s martial arts is better than Jiang Zhuge’s.”

“Heh, we’re comparing martial arts now?” someone said coldly.
