Chapter 184 - 184 179 Let Her Become a Nun

?Chapter 184: Chapter 179: Let Her Become a Nun Chapter 184: Chapter 179: Let Her Become a Nun Wei Sisan introduced, “His martial arts skills are superb, and I am no match for him. This time, he saved me. If it wasn’t for him, I should have died long ago. Due to the urgency of the situation, I made a decision on my own to make him my successor.

I too am aware of what you are all thinking now, whether he truly possesses such capabilities, whether he is capable of leading our New City Sect. In truth, I too would like to observe carefully.”

Everyone listened attentively. At this moment, Sect Leader Wei did not mention that Ye Chen would be his future son-in-law.

“It’s understandable for you to doubt me. After all, the New City Sect is a major sect and not a child’s play. It is extremely important for the Wastelands. Therefore, it must not be taken lightly. I think he is competent, but he also has to earn everyone’s trust.”

Wei Sisan continued, “I would like to use this opportunity to thoroughly examine him. This time, we are up against Jue Ming and Yang Jing, whose locations we all know and are located in different places. I plan to split up into two groups. One group will be led by Jiang Zhuge and assisted by Zhi Lang Taoist Priest to deal with Jue Ming. The other group will be led by Ye Chen and assisted by Can Mo to deal with the leader of the No. One Thieves, Yang Jing. Let’s take this chance to see who is more capable.”

Everyone’s eyes shifted to Ye Chen. Someone curiously asked, “Is this a selection for the next Sect Leader?”

Wei Sisan nodded and said, “You can put it that way. Let your abilities do the talking. Whoever resolves the situation first and performs the best becomes my successor.”

Someone pitched in, “So, what Sect Leader said last time on the mountain manor doesn’t count.”

“Last time, the situation was too urgent, and we had to make do. I didn’t take everyone into consideration. Although he’s my future son-in-law, I can’t just make such a decision. This time it’s real, and you all will be the judges.”

Many leaders nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Someone said, “But Ye Chen hasn’t joined our New City Sect yet.”

“When I was in danger, he had already joined New City Sect. The situation was critical, I didn’t manage to inform everyone in time.”

Ye Chen was a bit puzzled. He hadn’t officially joined the sect, there wasn’t any ceremony. All he knew was that he was pulled in, became the son-in-law, and later was told he would become the Sect Leader.”

“My situation was not good, hence I made this decision. Moreover, on that day, everyone was vying for the position of Sect Leader. If it turns out that Jiang Zhuge really is better than Ye Chen, I will give the position of Sect Leader to Jiang Zhuge.”

Upon hearing that, Jiang Zhuge said, “Sect Leader.”

“That’s settled then, there is some urgency. Although we now know the whereabouts of Yang Jing and Jue Ming, they surely won’t wait for us. I want you to get there before they leave. As for how to prepare for what comes next, that’s up to you.”

Suddenly, everyone fell silent. Wei Sisan spoke again, “I don’t know what will happen next, but we must always be vigilant. We don’t know whether we can capture them or take them out, let alone pressure them into making a mistake. You two groups need to discuss this well. Set off tomorrow morning at the earliest without revealing anything, do not let them escape.”

Ye Chen quietly listened, feeling a tremendous amount of pressure from this conversation. If he backed down, he would be labeled a coward. He is no coward, and he will not back down and would definitely contribute in whatever way he can.

Wei Sisan asked, “Does anyone have any other questions?”

No one answered.

“If that’s the case, then it’s settled. Everyone prepare thoroughly. I don’t know when Yang Jing or Jue Ming will decide to leave, but time won’t wait for us.”

Ye Chen was kept by Wei Sisan. At this time, Can Mo was also present. The two greeted each other. Wei Sisan said, “Tomorrow, both of you set off together. Can Mo, you assist Ye Chen in going to Ghost City to face Yang Jing of the No. One Thieves.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if I listened to him? I’ve never even been to Ghost City.” Ye Chen said.

However, Can Mo said, “I am here to assist you, and you are a potential Sect Leader.”

“It’s alright, I can be nothing at any time.”

Wei Sisan said, “Alright then, Can Mo, you go prepare. Kong Sha, you pick out another 150 people for Can Mo, let them join forces.”

“Yes, don’t worry, I’ll go now. I’ll also take him to meet the disciples.”

Wei Sisan nodded, knowing that Can Mo had suffered significant losses after being surrounded by the No. One Thieves, some reinforcements were needed.

Now, only Wei Sisan and Ye Chen were left.

“How’s it going? Any doubts?” asked Wei Sisan.

“Haha, you’ve put a lot of pressure on me. You kidnapped me like this, if I sneak away, people will say I am a coward, incapable of taking on a challenge.”

“Are you a coward then?”

“Of course I am not a coward, at most, I might lose to Jiang Zhuge. Compared to being a coward, this sounds less shameful.” Ye Chen said.

“Haha, in any course of action, it’s always well-advised to listen to Can Mo. He has quite a bit of experience dealing with the No. One Thieves.”

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, “If he really had experience, he would not have been surrounded in the first place.”

However, Wei Sisan said, “The ambush was an unforeseen incident.”

“Haha, I don’t know about that. But if they were really experienced, they wouldn’t have been surrounded for so long. If the enemy hadn’t eased up, they couldn’t have escaped.”

Wei Sisan added, “It’s precisely because they were almost annihilated by Yang Jing that they willingly want to help you handle the No. One Thieves. They also want to wash away their disgrace and seek revenge for their fallen comrades. They loathe Yang Jing and will do everything in their power to help you handle the No. One Thieves. So as long as you utilize them properly, you will surely defeat the No. One Thieves.”

“I had not realized that you think so highly of me.” As Ye Chen stroked his chin, he began to seriously ponder. He thought there was some reason in what he said.

“Can Mo and his group will definitely find ways to get justice for those who died. As long as you can manage well and get along with them, it will benefit you.”

“I really didn’t think you would treat me this well. I am somewhat surprised.”

“Haha, of course, I have to treat you well. You are my future son-in-law after all.”

“I never imagined that in helping someone, I would wind up marrying his daughter.”

“My daughter is so excellent, legions of people are looking to marry her.”

“Of course, I am only a wanderer. The ancestors must be smoking up there for me to have saved you and caught your eye,”
“Stop beating around the bush, get down to the business, put your skills to use, let me see if you can do anything beyond sweet talk.”

“If I don’t do something worthwhile, I wouldn’t be able to hold my head high in front of you.” Ye Chen murmured, “I am especially curious, out of everyone, why did you fancy me, and go as far as to push your daughter off a cliff? Aren’t you afraid she’d actually fall into the abyss?”

“It’s not as dire as you think. I am still alive; how could I possibly fall into the abyss?” Sect Leader Wei said.

“How did I suddenly fall into this trap you’ve set up for me without realizing it?”

“You consider everyone a villain every day, isn’t that tiresome?”

“Someone once told me, never trust people easily.”

“Was it your mother?”

“No, it was a human trafficker who sold me.”

“Stop moping, get to bed early. We’ll set out early tomorrow. Yang Jing with the rest of No. One Thieves might be in Ghost City now, but there’s no telling when they might slip away. When that time comes, it won’t be easy to find them,” Sect Leader Wei said.

“It would take at least a day or two for us to get from here to Ghost City. Jiang Zhuge might find Jue Ming quicker than us, possibly even in a day. Could you tell him not to make a move too quickly?”

“Why?” Sect Leader Wei asked.

“Because the moment they take action, they’re likely to attract Gua Zhengnie’s attention and Yang Jing’s at the same time. By the time we reach Ghost City, they might have already been startled by their actions and leave prematurely.”

Sect Leader Wei nodded and said, “Alright, both parties will only take action three days later.”

Ye Chen nodded in acknowledgment, doing the math in his mind.

“Is there anything else?” Sect Leader Wei asked.

“No, that should be it.” Ye Chen replied.

“Behaving like a Sect Leader requires some skills.”

“When the time comes, will you really let me marry your daughter?”

Sect Leader Wei chuckled, asking, “Looking to marry my daughter?”

“No… I was just asking casually, trying to see if you were fooling me, or fooling the disciples of the New City Sect.” Anyone would want to marry a beautiful woman. There was a hint of truth in Ye Chen’s jest. He didn’t dare to voice out that thought. After contemplating it, having such a wife would indeed give him dignity in front of others, with plenty of benefits. Even if she turned out to be a shrew, he could divorce her. There were barely any drawbacks.

“Put your skills to use, stop thinking about these useless things. You’re a boy, yet acting so indecisive like a woman.” Sect Leader Wei turned around to head towards his yard.

Ye Chen shouted, “Rest assured, I will let you know what I’m capable of.”

“Don’t end up being wiped out completely by others.” Sect Leader Wei had vanished around the corner.

Back in the yard, only the maid Wan Lan was there, presenting a pile of fruits.

Ye Chen glanced at her, asking, “Where’s that girl, off to meet a boy?”

“Your mouth stinks, she doesn’t want to associate with you,” Wan Lan replied.

“My mouth doesn’t stink.” Ye Chen took a sniff.

“Why must you constantly annoy her to the point she becomes upset?”

“Really?”

“Yes, you enjoy seeing her suffer.”

“Am I really that bad! I didn’t harass her!” Ye Chen peeled an orange.

“She was feeling slightly better, but due to you, her mood has worsened again.”

“Is it really that serious? Is she really becoming a nun because of me?”

“Nonsense.” said Wan Lan, “She found the note you left for her father. When we found her at the Liuye Manor, she thought you were only playing a joke on her and started to have feelings for you. But you just can’t let it go and always love teasing her.”

Ye Chen laughed a little after hearing this.

“You’re even laughing! That night, you genuinely scared her. We searched all day, we thought she had drowned! You kept us worrying all day, don’t you realize how scared we were, Ling’er was terrified too!”

Ye Chen said nothing, but kept eating.

“This is no joking matter, if we couldn’t find her, we would have had to start searching the lake.” Wan Lan continued, “Your joke, was a particularly big one and very scary. It was not amusing.”

“Okay, I apologize for this incident.”

“You should apologize for this.” Wan Lan said, “Promise Ling’er! Stop playing her!”

“If she doesn’t want to marry me, then let her become a nun.”

“You jerk.”
