Chapter 189 - 189 183 Are you pregnant

?Chapter 189: Chapter 183: Are you pregnant? Chapter 189: Chapter 183: Are you pregnant? Ling’er listened and responded sarcastically, “My father made that decision under immediate circumstances. He wanted you to temporarily stay at the New City Sect. I don’t know why he saw something in you and proposed you for the role of the Sect Leader. He knew he couldn’t persuade the others, so he used me instead. That was done to gain their trust.”

“Ha, it must be because I am exceptional. Maybe your father was afraid that someone else would snatch me away and that’s why he eagerly proposed our marriage. It seems I am indeed quite extraordinary.”

Ling’er made a vomiting gesture.

“Are you pregnant? We haven’t had our wedding night yet. Don’t tell me you’ve been cheating, because I certainly won’t raise another man’s child.”

She tried kicking Ye Chen away. Ye Chen quickly dodged and said, “Be careful. We’re not on solid ground right now. We’re on horseback. If you fall and end up killing the baby, I’m not taking responsibility.”

“You’re so fond of Feng Niang. So why did she leave?”

“Who said she left? She returned to Central Plains to find a place to settle and wait for me.”

“You’re really good at making things up.” Ling’er laughed and added, “How could you possibly be attracted to an older woman like that? Aren’t you worried about people making a laughingstock out of you? Maybe you lacked maternal love growing up and seek it from an older woman?”

“Ha, you’re really overthinking.”

“Overthinking? I think you’re indulging in wishful thinking. She had absolutely no interest in you.”

“How do you know she wasn’t interested in me?”

“If she were interested in you, she wouldn’t have abandoned you and returned to Central Plains alone.”

“It seems like you’re really interested in my affairs.”

“I’m telling you, you’re the one who’s weird. An fine young man like you is attracted to an old woman. Her age is even ridiculous.”

“She is mature!”

“An old lady would be even more mature. Why don’t you like them?”

“Old women are too old.”

“You’re just focusing on their appearances.”

“I disagree with that statement. I’m not some pervert. What I admire in her is her magnanimity.”

“Who knows.”

“Ugh, there’s no point in explaining it to you. Anyway, we’re not going to end up together.”

“Ha, as if I want to be with you!”

“Enough, enough, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Ye Chen continued to ride forwards. The horses had been running for four hours and now they were moving at a slower pace.

Ling’er anxiously said: “Don’t lose the way. Do you know how to read a map?”

Ye Chen smiled lightly and replied, “Why don’t you try?” He handed the map to her.

Ling’er took the map.

Ye Chen asked, “I’m going the right way, aren’t I?”

“Let’s see if you really are cockeyed.”

“You’re the cockeyed one!”

“Otherwise, how could you be attracted to an old woman?”

“Old women take better care of people than you.”

“Really? I think she is more like those young girls who need people to care for them. She ran so fast on horseback without thinking about the risk of straining her back.”

By the time it was dark, they finally found their destination in the mountains and met up with Can Mo.

Can Mo came over and said, “I thought you won’t arrive until tomorrow!”

Ling’er dismounted and said, “Jiang Zhuge has taken care of Jue Ming.”

Can Mo nodded, he had just received news from Ghost City.

“How are the preparations going?” asked Ye Chen.

“We should be ready by tomorrow.”

“We need to hurry. We don’t know if they will decide to leave sooner.”

Can Mo pointed at the canyon ahead, “They will travel through that.”

Ye Chen glanced at it, compared it with the map, and agreed that it was an ideal place for an ambush. He nodded, “If they want to go back, they should also wait until tomorrow. They need to regroup and prepare before they leave.”

Can Mo agreed with Ye Chen’s words.

Ye Chen added, “But we must be extra cautious to avoid any unexpected incidents.”

“Yes, I’ll ensure that everyone is ready as soon as possible.”

“Keep an eye on New City’s news. If anything happens, let me know as soon as possible.” Ye Chen continued, “You can start spreading false news saying that the New City Sect is planning to attack them.”

Can Mo nodded after listening.

Ling’er, exhausted, walked towards the fire.

They were hiding in a valley surrounded by a forest, where it was somewhat dark.

Yang Jing had just learned that Wei Sisan had sent Jiang Zhuge to defeat Jue Ming, and he had heard that many of their men had been killed.

Old Third, You Dao, said, “Old brother, I heard that most of Jue Ming’s men were killed by Jiang Zhuge. Even though Jue Ming escaped, there’s no certainty he got away. I’m a bit worried that the New City Sect will turn against us.”

Second brother, Ci Ye, said, “Looks like they are planning a comeback.”

You Dao added, “They didn’t show any signs of counterattacking.”

“Of course they won’t inform you if they’re counterattacking. They’ll catch us off guard.”

“This Wei Sisan, isn’t he afraid of pushing us to extremes?”

“Old brother, it seems that Wei Sisan has really decided to counterattack.”

“We’re not afraid of them.”

Ci Ye added, “Old brother, we’d better be more careful. After all, we were involved in the attack on the New City Sect. They may turn against us, destroy us first, then deal with Gua Zhengnie and the others.”

“Hehe, it shouldn’t, right?”

“What do you mean it shouldn’t? We might end up like Jue Ming, being caught off guard and surrounded before we even realized what was happening. That would be a huge loss.” Ci Ye continued, “I’ve heard they’ve started investigating Wei Sisan’s assassination. We won’t be able to escape from this, as it was us who lured Wei Sisan out, leading to what happened after.”

You Dao said, “At worst, we could just join forces and take them out. I don’t think they have the abilities to deal with all of us.”

“It’s best to keep a low profile for now, since we don’t know what Gua Zhengnie is thinking.”

Yang Jing, who had remained silent all this while, found their conversation confusing but agreed with what Ci Ye was saying.

“I thought Wei Sisan was on his deathbed! How does he still have so much energy and determination?” You Dao commented, puzzled.

Ci Ye retorted, “Maybe they’re just trying to catch us off guard. Perhaps Wei Sisan isn’t as close to death as we thought. We must avoid falling into the same trap as Jue Ming.”

Hearing this, Yang Jing nodded in agreement.

Ci Ye continued, “I heard that Jue Ming was at the Feng Niang Inn that night, so targeting him was only logical. But we must be cautious. We don’t know if we will be their next targets, so it’s best to lie low for a while.”

Yang Jing agreed, “Alright. We should prepare to leave Ghost City, Ci Ye, you make the preparations.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it immediately,” Ci Ye responded.

“We’ll leave Ghost City tomorrow,” Yang Jing decided hastily.

You Dao questioned, “Are we really going to let them scare us off that easily?”

“It’s better to be cautious. If they really decide to target us, we would end up regretting it like Jue Ming did,” Ci Ye countered.

“Wei Sisan should deal with Gua Zhengnie. Everyone knows he is the mastermind,” You Dao said confidently.

Ci Ye responded grimly, “True, everyone knows he is the mastermind, but also our connection to him. There’s a chance they could come after us first before dealing with Gua Zhengnie. It could be a plot.”

You Dao jolted, “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t kill Wei Sisan; instead, it has brought us trouble.”

Ci Ye wondered, “Has the New City Sect arrived in Ghost City yet?”

“Given our numbers, even if they arrive in Ghost City, we won’t necessarily be afraid of them. There are others like us in Ghost City—the Four Great Evils have long wanted to deal with them. If anything happens, they will surely side with us and help,” You Dao responded confidently.

Yang Jing instructed, “We leave Ghost City tomorrow at noon, Ci Ye. Be extra cautious and don’t let the New City Sect infiltrate Ghost City unnoticed.”

Ci Ye immediately set off to prepare.

News of Jue Ming’s ordeal quickly spread throughout Wasteland City.

Gua Zhengnie hadn’t expected Wei Sisan to retaliate so quickly and successfully attack Jue Ming. It was an assault he had never seen coming.

Elder Xi Feng remarked, “It seems Wei Sisan is retaliating.”

“We have nothing to fear; they only have three hundred men in Wasteland City. We can eliminate them directly and quickly take control of Wasteland City,” Gui Lang stated firmly.

Gua Zhengnie asked, “Do you think they’ll target No. One Thieves next?”

Elder Xi Feng responded, “Highly likely since they were involved in the plot to assassinate Wei Sisan. If they decide to investigate, they would most likely target No. One Thieves.”

Gua Zhengnie nodded in agreement.

Gui Lang said, “Won’t the investigation eventually lead to us? If we just wait passively, we should confront them directly. We won’t stand a chance if we’re the last ones left after they have taken out our potential allies.”

Gua Zhengnie thought Gui Lang made a fair point.

Gui Lang continued, “Now that Wei Sisan has decided to retaliate, those who fear the New City Sect can serve as our allies. We can exploit Wei Sisan’s intention to snuff out Jue Ming, and team up to fight against the New City Sect. Now that Wei Sisan isn’t at Wasteland City, we can seize control of it quickly.”

“What do you think, Elder Xi Feng?” Gua Zhengnie asked, unable to make up his mind.

“Did we act too hastily?” Elder Xi Feng pondered.

“If they eliminate everyone who’s willing to help us, we wouldn’t stand a chance against them by ourselves,” Gui Lang said anxiously.

“We can’t rush things. We also need to touch base with them and gauge their intentions,” reasoned Elder Xi Feng.

Meanwhile, in the canyon, the morning fog had yet to clear. Can Mo approached Ye Chen, “It seems like our ploy is working. Yang Jing has been alerted and started preparing to leave Ghost City last night.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo was elated. He had lost several brothers last time and couldn’t wait to take revenge on No. One Thieves.

Ye Chen fell silent for a moment, then said, “If that’s the case, they might leave Ghost City today.”

Can Mo nodded in agreement.

“We must accelerate our preparations,” Ling’er suggested.

“Keep an eye on them, let us know as soon as they leave,” Ye Chen instructed.

After some thought, Ye Chen added, “They might pass through here tonight.”

“We’re almost ready; it should be sufficient to handle them,” Li Mo said.

All they could do now was wait.

Just as dusk fell, Can Mo’s scout returned, reporting, “They have left the city.”

Immediately, Can Mo asked, “Are they heading back?”

“Yes, they’re heading in this direction,” the scout confirmed. “However, it’s not the entire group, just Yang Jing and You Dao.”

“What about Ci Ye?” questioned Can Mo.

“Ci Ye didn’t leave with them, it’s possible he was eating.”

“What about their deputy?” Ye Chen asked.

Can Mo nodded and confirmed, “Right.”

“Approximately how many people are with Yang Jing and You Dao?”

“Around three hundred. It seems they’ve decided to travel in separate groups,” the scout reported.

“Could they possibly leave later?”

“I rushed back to deliver the news and didn’t stick around. They might leave later.”

Can Mo looked at Ye Chen and asked, “Ye Chen, what should we do?” They hadn’t anticipated this scenario where they would leave separately.

Ye Chen was resolute, “Given that Yang Jing is in the group, we must make a move.”

“Right, if we don’t strike now, they’ll leave here. If we alert them, we don’t know when we’ll get another chance. We must act now, especially since their leader, Yang Jing, is in the group.”
