Chapter 78 I am Ye Chen

  Ji couldn't help but feel a bit displeased due to Ye Chen's somewhat threatening words earlier, but seeing Ye Chen's respectful attitude now without any pretence, he nodded his head in satisfaction.

  "Ye Chen, now that things have been settled, you can focus on your cultivation!" Ji Wu said with a gentle smile towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen is not a fool, he understood that Ji Wu's meaning was to let him hurry up and refine the 'Nourishing Liquid', immediately, Ye Chen nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Disciple understands, will definitely work hard!"

  Ji nodded in dissatisfaction: "En, this is for the best, you can go back now!"

  "Yes!"

  Ye Chen bowed to the three of them and then turned around to walk away.

  The three elders looked at Ye Chen who had already left, and suddenly a ferocious expression appeared on their faces. They said to Ji Wu Nai and Yuan Feng: "This child is absolutely not simple!"

  Yuan Feng looked at Ye Chen's back and let out a sigh, saying to the two of them: "I didn't want to get involved in this person's affairs, but... you understand!"

  Ji couldn't bear to look at Yuan Feng and nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

  Yu Feng continued, "After a while, I'm afraid I'll have to leave!"

  Upon hearing this, Ji furrowed his brow slightly and said in a soft voice, "Is it that urgent?"

  "En!" Yuan Feng nodded and said: "Miss has already planned to leave, I will also follow her back. After so many years, thank you for taking care of Miss and me. The Shen family will not forget you!"

  Upon hearing this, Ji couldn't help but smile slightly and said in a soft voice: "Yuan Feng, to be honest, since you arrived at Lian Yun Sect three years ago, I didn't want you to leave. Now that you're the Chief Law Enforcement Elder of Lian Yun Sect, if you were to leave, those elders would probably fight over your position again. Why don't you just stay in Lian Yun Sect from now on?"

  "Yes! We've worked together for three years, if you were to suddenly leave, I would also feel a bit uneasy!" The Third Elder said with a slight frown.

  Yuan Feng looked at the two of them with a faint smile, and said in a soft voice: "I, Yuan Feng, was born as a member of the Shen family, and I will die as a ghost of the Shen family! Your good intentions are appreciated!" He then stood up straight, bowed slightly to the two of them, and disappeared into thin air.

  Ji couldn't bear to watch Yuan Feng disappear, and a look of regret appeared on his face. He turned to the three elders and said, "Before we obtain the Dan method, we must ensure Ye Chen's safety!"

  The three elders nodded slightly and responded: "I understand!"

  "Ah!"

  Ji nodded slightly towards the three elders and then disappeared on the spot.

  Ji could no longer disappear from the law enforcement hall, and when he appeared again, he was already on the upper seat of the conference hall.

  Ji couldn't bear looking at Liu Yuer standing below and frowned, saying: "Yuer, do you know why the Shen family wants to leave now?"

  Actually, when he heard Yuan Feng say that he was about to leave, he had a small guess in his heart. However, this small guess made him restless and shocked, knowing that the Shen family had been in Lianyun Sect for three years, all for the sake of that legendary martial skill. If there were no clues, the Shen family would absolutely not leave!

  Upon hearing this, Liu Yuer's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked up at Ji and asked in a soft voice, "Shen Xin is my best friend, do you want me to betray her?"

  Ji couldn't bear looking at Liu Yuer's expression and took a deep breath before saying: "What best friends? It was the Shen family that killed your mother!"

  "Damn it!" Liu Yuer's face turned ferocious as she listened to Ji Wu's words, and she furiously shouted at him: "Back then, you clearly had the chance to save my mother, but what did you do? You prioritized your own safety, you prioritized becoming the leader of Lianyun Sect - it was you! It was you who personally killed my mother!"

  "Shut up!"

  Ji's face changed color, and he roared at Liu Yuer, "This is the only thing I've ever done in my life that makes me regretful. It was when I fought for this position of Patriarch, and I had no choice but to kill my own wife, whom I had married since childhood. Even now, every time I sleep, I dream of that scene. In my dreams, I see the eyes of my wife, disbelieving and staring at me, staring and staring..."

  Liu Yuer looked at Ji who couldn't get angry and burst out laughing, saying disdainfully: "What's wrong? Did I hit your sore spot? Are you afraid to face it?"

  Ji couldn't bear looking at Liu Yuer's expression, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, saying: "Get out!"

  "Hum! Out you go!"

  Liu Yuer gave a disdainful glance and turned around to run outside.

  Liu Yuer had just left, and a figure appeared beside Ji Wu. He gently patted Ji Wu's shoulder and comforted him, saying: "Ji Wu! Don't mind it, great accomplishments require one to be unencumbered by trivial matters!"

  "I understand!" Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath and said respectfully to the person beside him.

  This person is none other than Ji Wuyou's master of the previous generation, Feng Wu Zhan.

  Immediately, Ji was unable to stand up and saluted the wind with a bow, saying respectfully: "Master, you've come at just the right time. Three years ago, Shen's family entered our Lianyun Sect, and today they're telling me they're about to leave. Have they found it......?

  Upon hearing this, Feng Wu's face changed color in shock and he hastily said: "What are you saying? Have they actually found the 'Dragon Capturing Hand'?"

  "The disciple is also uncertain, only that their departure has made the disciple suspicious!" Ji Wu frowned slightly and said to Feng Wujie.

  Feng Wujin's face instantly fell into a daze, but he quickly recovered, looking at Ji Wu with a serious expression, his words filled with a murderous aura: "You don't need to ask about this anymore, leave the rest to me. If they really got their hands on 'Dragon Capturing Hand', I guarantee that they will not be able to bring it back to the Shen family!"

  Ji couldn't feel the murderous aura emanating from Feng Wu's body, and he nodded fearfully without saying a word.

  ——————

  Ye Chen came out of the law enforcement hall and found Xing Bu Gai not far away, with a dejected face, seemingly lost in thought.

  Ye Chen chuckled and quietly made his way around Xing Bu Du's back, gently patting him on the back.

  "Don't bother me, can't you see I'm depressed?"

  Xing didn't even get a single win, and was extremely dissatisfied. He turned around and let out a loud sigh, then muttered to himself: "Ye Chen, I really wanted to beat you this time, but this time, I'm truly willing to lose!"

  Ye Chen stood behind Xing Bu's back, listening to his words, and suddenly a warm current surged up in his heart. He smiled slightly and said softly: "No matter if you want to lose or win, but this time it's not up to you, you've already lost!"

  Xing Bu Gambled, who was originally feeling sad for Ye Chen Gang, heard the voice coming from behind him and his face suddenly stiffened. With a terrified expression, he slowly turned his head around, looking at that familiar face, and suddenly let out a loud shout: "Ghost!"

  Xing immediately got up and ran away, rolling and crawling while shouting "Ghost! Ghost!"

  Ye Chen looked at Xing Bu's reaction and was stunned, staring blankly at Xing Bu's quickly retreating back, unable to speak for a long time.

  A moment later, Xing Bu gambled again and ran back panting, standing in front of Ye Chen, looking at him with a surprised face, saying "You're not dead?"

  Ye Chen looked at Xing Bu Gambled standing in front of him and burst out laughing, saying softly: "Do I look like a dead man to you?"

  Xing slowly stretched out his hand, touched Ye Chen's body, and felt the temperature transmitted from his hand. Suddenly, his face lit up, and he said to Ye Chen: "You really didn't die!"

  Ye Chen also smiled slightly and said softly: "If I died, wouldn't that mean you won? Wouldn't I have just lost a brother? But now it seems like I'm the one who's winning!"

  Upon hearing this, Xing Bu Gao heavily patted Ye Chen once and said: "Alright! Whoever loses will concede, from today on, you are my brother Xing Bu Gao! Come, let's go to my place, we'll have a drink, and by the way... heh heh, roll some dice!" Then he pulled up Ye Chen and was about to head towards his own residence.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and didn't refuse. Originally, he wanted to go back and tell Shen Yan that he was fine, but then he thought that Liu Yuer would definitely help him convey the message.

  Not long after, Xing Bu Du brought Ye Chen to his residence in the inner sect.

  Ye Chen looked at Xing Bu's courtyard and shook his head slightly, muttering to himself: "The outer gate and the inner gate are really incomparable!"

  As Ye Chen was feeling sentimental, a few young men with smiling faces walked over from a short distance away and slightly bowed to Xing Bu.

  "Captain of the Stars!"

  "Brother Star!"

  ........

  Xing Bu looked at the crowd with a smile, chuckled and said: "You're just in time, I was thinking of finding a few people to accompany me and my brother for a drink. You've come at the right time, please take care of Ye Chen first, I'll go buy a few bottles of good wine, we'll have more to drink later!"

  Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in unison with a flattering expression on their faces.

  Xing didn't gamble, turned his head to look at Ye Chen, and said softly: "Brother, let them accompany you for a while first. I just remembered that the wine here was finished last time, I'll go buy some more, wait for me!"

  "Ah!"

  Ye Chen smiled and nodded at Xing.

  "I'll be right back!" Xing Bu gambled against Ye Chen said a sentence, and immediately turned around to quickly run towards the outside.

  Everyone looked at Xing Bu and left, then turned their heads to size up Ye Chen.

  "Are you Ye Chen? Are you the Ye Chen who crippled Feng Shi's younger brother?" A young man looked at Ye Chen with disdain, completely different from his attitude earlier when he was gambling with Xing.

  Ye Chen listened to the young man's disdainful words, his eyebrows slightly furrowed: "I am Ye Chen!"

  The young man sneered as soon as Ye Chen admitted it: "So it's really you!"

  Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and detected the hostility in the young man's tone, saying softly: "What do you want?"

  The young man turned his head and glanced at the crowd, then burst out laughing and said to Ye Chen with a teasing tone: "What do I think? You're just an ant-like existence in our eyes, a mere mortal realm cultivator. I wouldn't deign to fight you! I really don't understand, how can a mortal realm cultivator like you have the face to wander around the inner sect? Don't you know that the inner sect isn't a place where people of your lowly status can enter?"
