Chapter 1067 - 1067 1053 Deep Cooperation

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1053: Deep Cooperation Chapter 1067: Chapter 1053: Deep Cooperation Su Zhanze became agitated, “None of them are any good. I originally wanted to be a good person, taking the Dragon Slayer Sword to Dragon Slayer Island, but then the Sea Demon incident happened. I tried my best, but in the end, whether you live or die, no one cares.”

Having returned to Immortal City, the position of Sect Leader was snatched away by someone else. Really, one can’t be too honest. When you need to be ruthless, you have to be ruthless, or you’ll end up like me.” As he spoke, he touched his own face again.

“Although I don’t like Ren Xiongbei, to directly harm them… after all, Ren Haotian was our brother who we’ve played with since we were kids.” Yuan Jingxing didn’t know what else to say.

“Ha, has he ever considered me a friend! Who would know if I died? If I hadn’t broken through the profound barrier, I’d be dead outside by now, and who would shed tears for me? I’ve done so much for the realm of immortals and demons, but who cares? I need to live for myself for once.”

Yuan Jingxing fell silent.

Before long, Su Zhanze left, saying before he departed, “I still have some things to do. I’ll leave the matters inside Immortal City to you and Xiang Zi. This time I’ve returned, I’m only taking a few chests of gold, hoping it will be enough.” It turned out those chests of gold had been informed to him by Ling Li; although Dragon Slayer Island had been breached, several treasure vaults remained undetected. Later, he led people to find those vaults, and that money was what they retrieved.

Yuan Jingxing didn’t know what to say anymore, now that Su Zhanze was indeed the Sect Leader of Immortal City, but he knew that Su Zhanze was no longer the Su Zhanze of their childhood.

After Su Zhanze had left, Jiang Shizi entered the courtyard.

Jiang Shizi saw Yuan Jingxing in a daze, and she was just as stupefied.

Yuan Jingxing looked over and said, “You heard our entire conversation.”

Jiang Shizi nodded slightly and said, “I really didn’t expect him to be the one behind all this.”

“Neither did I,” said Yuan Jingxing.

“He really seems to hate Ren Xiongbei,” said Jiang Shizi, not knowing what else she could say.

“Who would have thought such a thing could happen.”

“He’s completely changed, and it’s become more and more terrifying,” Jiang Shizi commented.

“You no longer need to worry about these matters. If you really want to go to Demon Palace City, then go there for fun,” he suggested to her.

Jiang Shizi sighed and said, “I actually wanted to matchmake him with Qing’er. If Yu Qing knew what he had done, I believe Guo Yuqing would never be with Su Zhanze.”

Yuan Jingxing watched Jiang Shizi.

“Alas, people really do change.”

Yuan Jingxing said, “Take it slow. After all, he has been disfigured. It’s understandable that he hates Fang Ziren. After such a huge ordeal, it’s naturally hard to accept, and it’s understandable.”

Jiang Shizi remarked, “He wouldn’t do anything else bad, would he? The Dragon Slayer Sword is in his hands, and now there are only a few people who can match him.”

“It shouldn’t come to that,” Yuan Jingxing couldn’t be certain.

“Looking at him, he seems terrifying, like he wants to kill someone,” Jiang Shizi observed.

“Hey, don’t talk like that. We grew up together, and he’s been through a huge blow, which is hard for anyone to accept. We should be understanding,” he counseled.

“Got it, I was just speaking my mind,” she replied.

Ye Chen didn’t need to go to the chicken and duck cabin these couple of days, and his days passed rather leisurely with food and drink each day, all thanks to that girl’s blessing.

In the room, everything was quiet. As evening was about to fall, Ye Chen had just finished his dinner. He patted his stomach and said, “If this continues, I’m going to gain ten pounds.”

“You’d better get fat and die,” Nangong Yan shouted. Although she couldn’t stop Ye Chen from working with Shao Hengjiang, she was still very unwilling and kept thinking of ways to interfere, to make their cooperation impossible. But on Shao Hengjiang’s ship, if she wasn’t careful and really angered Shao Hengjiang, he might just kill them outright.

They had to wait until landing to act. Luckily, at this moment she heard that they hadn’t found the Shark Ship yet, which made her quite happy, indicating that her plan had been successful. As long as they couldn’t find the Shark Ship, it would be very difficult for them to find Xiyue Island.

She also became lazy, lying in bed, listening to the sea breeze, and singing operas.

“Don’t be so happy, I know what you’re thinking,” Ye Chen continued to tease, “Thinking that this will stop me, you’re really overthinking it. Do you know that Qiandu Xiang has arranged for people on your father’s side?”

Nangong Yan looked over.

“They’ll inevitably be found; it’s not necessarily safe.”

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, wanting to get the Sacred Spirit Stone. I call you a fool for actually believing Shao Hengjiang’s words. That guy must be deceiving you, he won’t help you. When the time comes, he’ll kick you aside and snatch away the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit. You just wait and weep,” Nangong Yan tried to scare him.

Ye Chen laughed heartily and said, “I don’t have many good options to begin with, and now I’m in someone else’s hands. I might as well trust him for now, a drowning man clutching at a straw. What’s the harm? Shao Hengjiang even is marrying off his daughter to me. Although I don’t take it seriously, if Shao Hengjiang could do this, how could he possibly go crazy later? The girl only knows a fragment of the whole picture,” Ye Chen thought to himself.

“You refuse to help our Immortal Medicine Sect but insist on helping a bunch of pirates. You will end up dismembered by someone sooner or later,” Nangong Yan was, of course, very angry.

“I think you’re more stubborn than anyone else. Why can’t you properly understand Shao Hengjiang? Maybe he’s not that bad after all.”

Nangong Yan let out a cold laugh upon hearing these words, and indeed, she had made inquiries over the past two days; however, she didn’t trust the people on the boat—their words were not to be taken seriously.

“Hey, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’d rather go have a chat with Shao Hengjiang,” she said.

Nangong Yan was astonished; this guy had been seeking out Shao Hengjiang constantly in the past two days, as if the latter were his father-in-law, which annoyed her greatly. She said, “Shao Hengjiang doesn’t have a daughter, so don’t expect him to marry a woman off to you.”

Ye Chen smiled and replied, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. Do you want to come with me and listen to our plan?”

“I don’t want to go,” she said, feeling a strong aversion.

Wan Liyun rushed in and announced, “We’ve found the Shark Ship.”

Shao Hengjiang stood up and muttered, “Really? Just the Shark Ship?”

Wan Liyun nodded slightly and said, “Yes, just the Shark Ship. But they are hovering, as if they’ve lost the people from the Immortal Medicine Sect.”

After a moment of silence, Shao Hengjiang said, “It seems we can only wait.”

“Yes, we can only wait, but we must keep a close eye on them, make sure they don’t get away, and also not let them discover us,” Wan Liyun said anxiously.

After spending two days to find the Shark Ship only to lose the people from the Immortal City Sect, his anxiety was understandable, but he really had no way of finding the Dragon Slayer Ship now.

Ye Chen, who was utterly bored, walked in, startling Wan Liyun; he wasn’t sure if this guy genuinely wanted to cooperate with them or if it was all an act, considering the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits’ not-so-stellar reputation.

Shao Hengjiang waved Wan Liyun away and asked, “What is it, got the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit back to you? Is there anything else?”

“Not really, I just wanted to ask if you’ve found them.”

Shao Hengjiang replied, “We just found the Shark Ship.”

“The Shark Ship, Qiandu Xiang’s Shark Ship?”

“Yes, Qiandu Xiang’s Shark Ship, but we haven’t found the people from the Immortal Medicine Sect yet. It’s probably going to take some more time.”

“They didn’t follow the people from the Immortal Medicine Sect?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

“No.”

“That girl is really something, making things turn out this way,” Ye Chen said unreservedly as he sat down to eat.

Shao Hengjiang came over, poured him a cup of tea, and Ye Chen seemed somewhat embarrassed.

“So, have you agreed to matchmake between me and my daughter?” Shao Hengjiang had been pondering this for a while. He had cleared up his daughter’s identity, but Nangong Yan was still deeply mistaken about him, probably unable to accept him. He wanted to gradually improve their relationship, but he needed a middleman. Now, the only person who could help was this young man.

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “I’ve tried hard, thought of many ways, but she has preconceived biases against you. It’s too difficult to change her mind all of a sudden, she’s too stubborn. But you promised to teach me your martial arts in exchange for my help.”

Shao Hengjiang smiled and replied, “With your martial arts being so good, do you really need me to teach you?”

“It’s not about that; it’s always good to learn more, as learning never ends.”

“You are impressive for a young man. Of course, I would be happy to teach you.”

Ye Chen still felt surprised; he had made the proposal in jest, hardly believing that Shao Hengjiang would actually agree to it for the sake of his daughter.

Suddenly, Shao Hengjiang took out a book from a cabinet—it was the Sacred Heavenly Technique. Ye Chen was incredibly surprised to receive it and commented, “It seems that Nangong Yan is very important to you.”

What need was there even to say it? Shao Hengjiang said, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll use the martial arts I learn from you against you?” asked Ye Chen.

“Petty,” retorted Shao Hengjiang with a laugh.

Ye Chen smiled.

Two days ago, Shao Hengjiang had asked Ye Chen for help, and Ye Chen had casually said he would, but only if he was taught his martial arts. Neither had thought he was serious, but to his surprise, Shao Hengjiang truly took him at his word.

“You haven’t altered something, have you, to make me train to become neither male nor female?” Ye Chen joked.

“Ha, you’re underestimating me, Shao Hengjiang too much,” Shao Hengjiang said as he sat down, began drinking his tea, and added, “Even if you learn it, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll beat me.”

“Of course, your martial arts are so advanced, I am no match,” Ye Chen thought while planning in his mind to analyze the martial arts thoroughly so he wouldn’t be saying the same thing later.
