Chapter 1033 - 1033 1019 Pitiful Person

Chapter 1033: Chapter 1019: Pitiful Person Chapter 1033: Chapter 1019: Pitiful Person “I’m not going to lie to you, if I don’t find the Sacred Spirit Stone, I probably won’t live past a year,” Ye Chen said seriously, not as if he were lying.

Nangong Yan looked at him with a mix of trust and suspicion, remembering what had happened in the boat cabin, where he had let the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit turn himself into a porcupine and murmured, “Is everything you say true?”

“Stop worrying about me and hurry up. Your father could gather people to look for Qiandu Xiang any minute now. If we’re too late, it’ll all be over.” After drinking the soup, he stood up.

Nangong Yan also stood up, closely following behind him.

“Is everything you say true?”

Ye Chen didn’t answer, instead he asked, “Does your father want you to take refuge in Peach Blossom Manor?”

Nangong Yan replied, “Yes, last night Qiandu Xiang came to threaten my father, telling him not to get involved with Si Nanyu’s matters. My father refused on the spot. He figured out a way to coerce my father by capturing me. My father came from Immortal Medicine Island and here he only knows the Peach Blossom Manor Master, Ying Luoxue. In two days, I’ll be twenty-one.

He wants me to take refuge at Peach Blossom Manor to free his hands to rescue Ouyang Yue.”

“It seems Qiandu Xiang really is a bad person.”

“You still don’t believe me?”

“I believe you, don’t worry. If I can really be of help on the twenty-first, I will do my best,” he seemed to only be able to answer in this way, yet he couldn’t give her any guarantees.

Upon hearing his words, Nangong Yan was very pleased.

“Don’t get too happy too soon. I only said I would help if I can. You just stay put in Peach Blossom Manor and stop causing trouble for your father. Learn to be a lady, and don’t always be thinking about killing. It’s really not good,” Ye Chen joked.

“Do you really intend to borrow the Sacred Spirit Stone?”

“Hey, don’t worry about this. Where is Peach Blossom Manor? Show me the way quickly,” Ye Chen asked.

Without hesitation, Nangong Yan hurried to the front, with Ye Chen following behind her.

“Don’t go back on your word,” she called out.

“Don’t worry, as long as she really does possess such stunning beauty, I’ll take action,” he promised.

“You shouldn’t be so pragmatic!” Having been saved by him several times, Nangong Yan knew Ye Chen was a righteous person and continued, “Actually, Ouyang Yue is quite pitiable. Her mother, Ouyang Meng, left when she was very young. She has been lonely since childhood, raised by her godfather and master. But Ke Yizhu was very busy and had no time to accompany her.”

“What, she has her mother’s surname?” That was something he could relate to.

Nangong Yan slightly nodded, “Yes, she took her mother’s surname. Her mother was from the Sacred Spirit Sect, a fellow disciple with my father. Ouyang Meng fell for an unreliable man. After she became pregnant, the man ran off with another woman, abandoning her and Ouyang Yue.

Ouyang Meng resented the man, and by extension, disliked Ouyang Yue, so she had a rough time when she was young. Later, even her resentful mother died, leaving only Ouyang Yue. She doesn’t even know who her father is, and neither do I.

However, Ke Yizhu was the silver lining, being exceptionally kind to Ouyang Yue, replacing the love of family. Heaven had mercy on her. But even such a kind man died at the hands of Qiandu Xiang, leaving Ouyang Yue utterly alone, which is why she’s so pitiable.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen was somewhat moved and said, “Actually, I am quite pitiable too.”

“What’s so pitiable about you?”

“I’m also alone. Who knows when I’ll go mad—that’s not pitiable enough?” He peeled a peanut with five-spice flavor.

“You seem so normal now, how can you go mad?”

“You never know.”

“Everything was fine; she fell in love with Si Nanyu, thinking good days were ahead, but who would have expected such a thing to happen? Fate has been too unfair to her.”

“Actually, I think it has been pretty unfair to me as well.”

“We’ve been good friends since childhood; I know my own limitations and can’t help her. I might just become a burden. Ah, if only my martial arts skills had improved a little, I really regret not practicing harder before,” said Nangong Yan somberly.

Like her, born into a carefree family, few would be able to endure hardships; it was understandable.

“As her sister, I really don’t want anything to happen to her. She’s too pitiable.”

Ye Chen said, “Don’t worry. If Qiandu Xiang wants the key that badly, he won’t kill her too quickly. She’ll be fine.” Such a foolish girl, nearly getting caught herself yet still worrying about others. Could there be anyone sillier?

Suddenly, a cluttered sound of footsteps approached—Ye Chen was the first to hear them, coming from up ahead.

Ye Chen wanted Nangong Yan to hide, fearing another encounter with the black-clad men, but with the help of moonlight, Nangong Yan recognized Nangong Yao, who was walking in the front with a slightly hunched back, and hurriedly called out “Daddy” before running towards him.

Having been kidnapped by the black-clad men, Nangong Yao and his men could no longer restrain themselves. They were furious and planned to seek out Qiandu Xiang, while the Peach Blossom Manor Master Ying Luoxue also knew of this, and couldn’t stand idly by any longer.

They heard Song Yi say, “If Qiandu Xiang doesn’t hand over Yan’er, I’ll set fire to their Sacred Spirit City.” The disciples behind him continuously cheered him on.

The Peach Blossom Manor Master said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely stand with you on this matter.” He was encouraging Nangong Yao.

Yet Nangong Yao wanted to know if Yan’er was unharmed and truly in Qiandu Xiang’s hands. He needed to figure out what Qiandu Xiang would demand to release his daughter. His mind was a whirl of thoughts, and he was at a loss for what to do.

On the other hand, although he had agreed to meet with Si Nanyu, this incident had left him with no mood to do so.

Suddenly, a person ran towards him, calling out “Daddy.” He thought he was dreaming, and the men behind him were also stunned.

“Am I not seeing things?” Nangong Yao could hardly believe it.

“Daddy, you’re not seeing things, it’s really Yan’er.” She began to cry bitterly at that moment. When she was stuffed into a sack, she thought she would never see her father again.

“What exactly happened? Weren’t you kidnapped?”

After listening, Nangong Yan explained, “On the way, I encountered a friend of mine who rescued me from the hands of that man with the red sword, otherwise I might never see Daddy again.”

“A friend of yours was able to rescue you?” Nangong Yao speculated that the man with the red sword must have been the cold-blooded assassin, Gu Feng. His martial arts were extraordinary, and his methods were ruthless, even he might not be able to handle him.

“Yes, it’s the young man who was with me on the deserted island a while back.” She gestured behind her as she spoke, but Ye Chen had already disappeared. She murmured, “Where is he?” She called out a few times but received no response, and then hurriedly said, “He likes to be alone, he’s somewhat shy, but his martial arts are excellent.” It seemed he had left.

Nangong Yao was almost too happy to speak upon seeing his daughter returned.

“Daddy, where are you heading?”

Song Yi replied, “We were just about to seek out Qiandu Xiang for her.”

That fellow’s prophecy really came true. Yan’er quickly said, “Qiandu Xiang is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goals, Daddy, you must be careful.”

Ying Luoxue, seeing Nangong Yan return, hurriedly said, “It seems this is fate, heaven does not wish for Miss Yan’er to be harmed.” He really doubted his ability to make Qiandu Xiang release Yan’er if she had been abducted; there would probably have been a fight and they could have suffered losses. But with such an incident, as Nangong Yao’s friend, he had no choice but to assist.

Nangong Yao quickly called out, “Alright, let’s not seek out Qiandu Xiang anymore.” Saying this, he turned to walk back toward Peach Blossom Manor.

Nangong Yao then asked, “You mentioned a friend, what friend? Which sect does he belong to?”

“He didn’t tell me, and he wouldn’t say. I asked him many times, but he never told me, yet he is definitely a good person, and his martial arts are quite remarkable.”

“Was it just him who rescued you?”

“There was another friend.”

“How did you meet them?” Nangong Yao grew even more curious. Just yesterday, Nangong Yan had mentioned meeting a boy just a year or two older than her.

“We met on the Immortal Medicine Island. At that time, I sneaked onto the island, afraid that Brother Song would find me. I was hungry and that’s how I met him. Qi Xue is also aware of this matter.”

Nangong Yao nodded slightly.

“Qiandu Xiang is becoming increasingly unscrupulous, Daddy should be careful.”

Nangong Yao was all too aware of this, but he had never imagined that Qiandu Xiang would dare to abduct someone in broad daylight.

“I worried you, Daddy.”

“As long as you are safe, that’s all that matters.” How could Nangong Yao not be worried? He was about to take his men to find Qiandu Xiang precisely because he was concerned and felt compelled. He called Song Yi over and whispered, “Proceed as usual with seeing Si Nanyu.”

Song Yi nodded slightly,

“Remember, be very cautious and don’t let Qiandu Xiang’s men tail you.”

After hearing this, Song Yi stepped back.

Nangong Yao said to Ying Luoxue, “Manor Master, I entrust my daughter’s safety to you.”

“Rest assured, as long as I am here, no one in Peach Blossom Manor can harm your daughter. I guarantee this with my life.”
