Chapter 1083 - 1083 1069 No Secrets Anymore

Chapter 1083: Chapter 1069: No Secrets Anymore Chapter 1083: Chapter 1069: No Secrets Anymore “You, you think you’re worthy of me? Marrying you, burdening yourself with a witless woman?”

“Nonsense, how am I witless? You’re the one without a brain,” she said indignantly.

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, “Still can’t accept being called brainless, huh?

Alright, let me tell you how you’re brainless. Don’t think that just because you’ve done a few significant acts, it’s all good because you encountered Shao Hengjiang and nothing happened. If it were anyone else, ten of them wouldn’t be enough to avoid death. When doing things, how can you not leave yourself a way out? Charging in on a wave of passion without considering whether there’s danger afterwards is what a brainless person does!”

“Yes, you are very brave, but bravery is worth nothing when you don’t think about how to protect yourself first. Do you think if you died, anyone would consider you especially brave?”

Hearing this, Nangong Yan was naturally displeased and retorted, “And when you put on the ring to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan, did you consider the consequences?” Of course, she had heard this from the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Right, I’m the brainless one. Happy now? Only a fool like me would do something so reckless, and in the end, have to fake my own death to escape trouble,” said Ye Chen.

Nangong Yan let out a forced laugh and asked, “What do you like about her?”

“Don’t know, maybe I like the way she gets angry,” he replied.

“The way she gets angry? Isn’t that a bit odd?” Nangong Yan commented.

Ye Chen said, “When she’s angry, she always glares at me with her nose, and I can even see her nostril hairs, which really reminds me of you.”

“Ew, that’s disgusting,” Nangong Yan exclaimed and then asked, “So what do you like about her sister?”

Ye Chen had never thought about this. If it hadn’t been for that episode at the Bell and Drum Establishment, he might have never realized how much he still pined for Guo Yuqing.

“What’s wrong, did I bring back memories?”

“You are quite annoying,” he said.

“Hey, I know you’re struggling with this. If it were me, I’d struggle too.”

“Ha, you know nothing. It’s not a matter to be so perplexed about,” he scoffed.

“What do you mean by ‘you know nothing’?”

“Alright, I’ll ask you, have you ever been in love?”

Nangong Yan really wanted to say she had, but she quickly deflated.

“See, you’ve never been in love and yet you claim to know, you’re just a kid,” he said.

“You’re the kid!”

“Only when you have truly experienced heartbreak will you understand what it’s all about. Don’t pretend to know when you have no experience,” Ye Chen said, gazing at the starry sky. On such a deserted island, in quiet moments, he would unconsciously recall past memories.

“What does it feel like to like someone?” Nangong Yan asked.

“Don’t know; don’t ask me about that, as I don’t even want to think about it,” he replied.

“How can you not think about it? Isn’t it wanting to see the other person but not knowing what to do when you do?”

“If that’s the case, I’ve never felt that way toward a female monkey, because I am especially afraid of her. She’s always reckless.”

Ye Chen had just berated Nangong Yan for being reckless when he described Guo Yuyun the same way, which surprised her. “Is that why you feigned your death, because you were afraid for her?”

“Sigh, can’t you stop nagging?” Ye Chen turned to his side. “Let’s rest, it’s getting late.”

“I can’t sleep yet; let’s keep talking,” she proposed.

“Go chat with a male monkey up in the trees, I’m really tired,” Ye Chen closed his eyes.

“You’re actually not bad,” she said.

“As if I needed you to tell me that.”

“When the time comes, make sure you keep a close watch on Qiandu Xiang, kill him and everything will end,” Nangong Yan knew of Ye Chen’s martial arts prowess and she figured that once Qiandu Xiang was killed, it would all be over.

“Ha, I’m not an executioner; how could I just go and kill someone just because you say so?” Ye Chen said coldly.

“Killing Qiandu Xiang would be acting on Heaven’s behalf, for the sake of the whole world,” Nangong Yan continued. “Just think about it, if Qiandu Xiang is dead, everything will be over. That would be quite an impressive feat.”

“I’m not falling for your tricks. You think I don’t know how powerful Qiandu Xiang’s martial arts are!” Ye Chen retorted.

Taking a closer look, Nangong Yan said, “Right, you should have seen his martial arts when you went to rescue Ouyang Yue. You’re not a match for this guy?”

“Not sure, but beating that guy won’t be easy,” Ye Chen said, watching the constellation of the Big Dipper, which formed the shape of a ladle in the sky.

“Are you thinking of someone? I heard from the Red Demonic Spirit that before Guo Yuyun, you liked another girl. Is that true?”

“Damn Red Demonic Spirit, spilling everything to you, what a blabbermouth,” he cursed.

Giggling, Nangong Yan said, “Don’t blame him, I coaxed it out of him. I also heard you were so smitten with that girl you almost became a monk.”

“He really is a big mouth.”

“It seems you’ve indeed experienced more than me,” Nangong Yan’s words suddenly shifted. “However, I really do want to meet Guo Yuyun, to see just how similar we are.”

“Why are you so curious about my affairs?”

“Oh, otherwise, what would we have to talk about?”

“Right, what else is there? I suppose Red Demonic Spirit even told you the color of my underwear, didn’t he?”

Nangong Yan’s nostrils flared in irritation.

“Don’t get too close to me, or you won’t even know how you die,” Ye Chen muttered.

“Are you worried I might be in danger?” Her heart mused, it must be so, otherwise, he wouldn’t speak like this, at least it shows that he still cares about her. Then she asked, “I haven’t heard that wearing the Wolf King’s Ring would be so serious. Many people want to try it on, you know.”

“Do you want it? I can give it to you.”

Actually, Nangong Yan really had seen some information about the Wolf King’s Ring in their clan’s library. “Thinking of transferring the disaster to me? Dream on; I wouldn’t be that foolish,” she retorted.

Ye Chen chuckled. “Many people want it, all want to become the Wolf King. Don’t you want to? It’s very exhilarating, unrivaled under the heavens, no one can be your match, just like the White Haired Witch possessing the Nine Yin White Bone Claws.”

“Don’t try to fool me; I’m not ignorant. This thing has many benefits but also plenty of drawbacks.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly.

“How did you deteriorate so quickly?”

Ye Chen replied, “I was poisoned.” It was in Bell and Drum City where he had been poisoned by Longhun. The reversal occurred, driving him into madness, though he managed to control it, the deterioration sped up significantly. That was also why he was so eager to come out, to destroy the Wolf King’s Ring as soon as possible.

“Poison, right in the Bell and Drum Establishment, I almost fell into devilry.”

“Right.”

“Longhun is your brother, right?” Nangong Yan asked.

“You already know everything from Red Demonic Spirit, so why ask me!”

“It seems your brother really is quite ruthless,” Nangong Yan commented.

“I’m not going to chat anymore; I’m truly tired. If you’re not sleepy, go and chat with a male monkey in the forest. Do you want me to be able to travel tomorrow or not?” Ye Chen turned away.

By morning, the mist wouldn’t possibly clear until noon.

Guan Xun found his master, Nangong Yao, and blurted out, “I’ve discovered that someone is following us. It seems to be Qiandu Xiang’s people.”

“What! Qiandu Xiang’s people are following us!” Nangong Yao was genuinely startled. He had been very cautious entering the thunderstorm area and was almost certain that nobody could be following them. How could this have happened? Who had followed them? “How did they follow us?” he asked.

“Yes, Master, I can guarantee that I had released the Winged Dragon to scout the vicinity,” Guan Xun said, equally perplexed. “Could there be someone among us who informed them of our whereabouts?” Suspicion tinged his voice.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yao looked over.

By this time, Ouyang Yue had approached with Jiu Hu.

Guan Xun relayed the discovery of being followed by Qiandu Xiang’s people to her.

“Didn’t we already survey the area?”

Guan Xun nodded and said, “There are two possibilities: it’s either a coincidence or someone informed them. I’m certain we shook them off before.”

“You’re saying there’s someone from Qiandu Xiang among us?” Ouyang Yue still couldn’t believe it.

Guan Xun quickly interjected, “It’s just a suspicion. I have no confirmation.”

“No, your suspicion is valid. If there really is someone from Qiandu Xiang among us, then they’re definitely on our side.” Ouyang Yue’s group consisted of Si Nanyu’s followers, whom she hadn’t inquired about before. If there was a mole among them, it would likely be hard to unearth them at once, which left her feeling conflicted.

“Maybe it’s just a coincidence.”

“Unlikely. I’ve been suspicious from the start. That morning, how could we just inexplicably be followed by Qiandu Xiang’s people? This time, even after being pursued and using a formation to escape, they still managed to follow us to the island. It’s clear someone is giving them information; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to follow us so timely.”

The urgency of the situation began to dawn on Jiu Hu. “So what do we do now?”

Ouyang Yue glanced at their own people. These disciples from the Sacred Spirit Sect could very well have someone from Qiandu Xiang among them, which wasn’t surprising to her.

“It won’t be so easy trying to drag them out,” Guan Xun continued, “Although, the number of people Qiandu Xiang has brought isn’t much, just about five or six hundred people.”

Nangong Yao still felt he had been too careless.

“So, are we in danger with them following us like this? Could they attack us to snatch the Key Box, and even if they don’t, we’re still at a disadvantage? If they truly have someone among us, it would be very difficult to shake them off,” Jiu Hu mentioned with concern.

Ouyang Yue lacked a solution too.

“Let’s head back, block them off. The rest of the group should continue to move forward,” Guan Xun suggested.

Nangong Yao glanced ahead at the wilderness. The island teemed with monsters, potentially harboring other dangers. Having just discovered they were being followed, he had no surefire solution.
