Chapter 1104 - 1104 1090 Ulterior Motives

Chapter 1104: Chapter 1090: Ulterior Motives Chapter 1104: Chapter 1090: Ulterior Motives Ouyang Yue could hardly believe it and said, “How is this possible.”

Ye Chen looked over and said, “I advise you not to tell Nangong Yan, because she and her father are still building their relationship. If she finds out now, it will be uncontrollable and the consequences will be very serious.”

Ouyang Yue said, “Don’t worry, I know. I just can’t understand why she would be Shao Hengjiang’s daughter.”

“Hehe, how would you know about someone else’s affairs from when they were young.”

Thinking of something, Ouyang Yue said, “No wonder you gave that letter to my Uncle Master. He agreed to cooperate with Shao Hengjiang without a word. I was wondering how he could so easily work with a pirate, but now it makes sense.”

Ye Chen smiled.

“How did you know she is Shao Hengjiang’s daughter? Did you know it all along?”

“No, I found out after I was captured as well. I believe Shao Hengjiang didn’t know much earlier than me. I remember that day; he asked about Nangong Yan’s age. He probably figured it out from her age and the fact that Nangong Yan wears a jade amulet with the character ‘Lan’ on it.”

“What’s so special about that?”

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, “Shao Hengjiang also wears a jade amulet like hers but with the character ‘Jiang’ instead. Nangong Yan told me the jade she wears was a gift from her mother. I think the one she wears and Shao Hengjiang’s are a pair. It’s clear that Shao Hengjiang and her mother had a special relationship. But her mother gave this particular jade to her own daughter. What does that mean?”

Suddenly, Ouyang Yue remembered the jade amulet that Nangong Yan wore; she knew about it and had heard about it. She asked, “Are you sure Shao Hengjiang has one too?”

“Yes, it’s such a coincidence that I saw an identical jade amulet.”

Ouyang Yue believed him and said, “So that’s how it is. Now I understand why he acknowledged Nangong Yan as his daughter and agreed to help us.”

Ye Chen smiled again and looked back to make sure no one was following.

“Did you really get the Sacred Heavenly Technique because he sees you as a son-in-law?”

“I don’t know about that, but I made a deal with him. If I found a way to facilitate a reunion between him and his daughter, he would give me the Secret Manual. I managed it and made Nangong Yan his goddaughter. The rest is up to him now.”

“Oh, you truly are a cunning one.”

Ye Chen hurriedly said, “I’m not a cunning one. I put in the effort. But when I first mentioned it, I never expected he would actually give me the Sacred Heavenly Technique’s Secret Manual. He was serious, which shows he really wants to reconcile with his daughter.”

“And here I thought you were a good person. Turns out you have your own agenda.”

“Hey, I am a good person.”

Ouyang Yue said, “So that means Nangong Yao also knows about this.”

“Definitely. How could he not know if she’s his biological daughter,” Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

Ouyang Yue took a deep breath.

After confirming that no one was following, Ye Chen also slowed down.

Ouyang Yue then said, “But the move you used to kill felt more like Qiandu Xiang’s style.”

“Right, I have to thank him for that. Fighting him last time led to my enlightenment. It’s all the Sacred Heavenly Technique, just different approaches, each with their own merits, but not a significant difference.”

“You’re still quite impressive, learning the Sacred Heavenly Technique so quickly.”

“No, I’ve only touched upon the basics, can’t really say I’ve mastered the Sacred Heavenly Technique. What I used was still the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, but I’ve incorporated the concept of the Sacred Heavenly Technique into it to perfect my martial arts.”

“You’re still very clever though.”

Pointing ahead, Ye Chen said, “Let’s rest up ahead; I can’t go on anymore.”

Ouyang Yue handed him a water canteen, and Ye Chen took a couple of hearty gulps.

The Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit sprung out, and Ye Chen said, “These two rascals, they didn’t take advantage of the confusion to touch you, did they?”

Ouyang Yue coldly said, “I suppose only you would do such a thing.”

Ye Chen chuckled, pulled out the map he had obtained from those two spirits last night, glanced at it, and then surveyed their surroundings.

Ouyang Yue asked, “Nangong Yan might like you.”

“Heh, I’ve already made things very clear to her.”

“By saying you had someone else you liked, right?”

“Yeah, I already have someone I like, so there’s no way I could like her.”

“But she likes you, and she can’t help it.”

“I don’t want to talk about this. I just want to find the Sacred Spirit Stone as soon as possible, destroy the ring, and then leave this place for some quiet corner.”

“To become a monk in some quiet corner?”

In a half-joking tone, Ye Chen said, “Possibly.”

The Black Demonic Spirit and the Red Demonic Spirit climbed to the top of a tree and picked some wild fruits.

The fruits were a bit sour and bitter, but right now, they would have to do to stave off hunger,

“If you really wanted to be a monk that badly, then why did you destroy the ring? What’s the difference between being a monk and being dead?”

Ye Chen said, “You can’t talk like that. There’s a big difference between being a monk and being dead.”

The sun was particularly fierce today, starting to scorch once again.

Ye Chen called out, “Red Demonic Spirit, catch a couple of rabbits.”

The Red Demonic Spirit glanced at them and said, complaining, “Now we’ve all become your servants.”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “If you don’t want to be servants, we’ll talk after you’ve regained your bodies.”

The Black Demonic Spirit sneered and went off.

Ye Chen dismounted.

“I wonder what Nangong Yan would think if she found out,” Ouyang Yue muttered to herself.

“I’d advise you not to tell her so soon, at least wait until their relationship is better,” Ye Chen said.

“Got it.”

Nangong Yan and the others had been searching for many days, now unsure whether Ye Chen and Ouyang Yue had been captured, she was very worried.

They had a tough time recently; if they weren’t encountering monsters, they were dealing with Pan Jianglong’s men, which could be described as struggling at every turn.

Nangong Yan became anxious and said, “Godfather, I don’t think this is working.”

Shao Hengjiang had also considered the issue and said, “Indeed, it’s not a good method.”

“We have too many people, and we’re in Pan Jianglong’s territory. They keep sending monsters to deal with us. I reckon it’s only going to get worse. We need to come up with a different plan,” Nangong Yan continued, “At this rate, it’ll take us half a month just to reach Sacred Spirit Mountain.”

Wan Liyun shared the sentiment.

Suddenly, a subordinate ran back and said, “It’s not good, our boats have been destroyed.”

The news came as a shock to Wan Liyun, who exclaimed, “What? Our boats are destroyed? How are we going to get back then?”

The subordinate replied, “It’s likely Pan Jianglong’s doing.”

Nangong Yan grew anxious and said, “Pan Jianglong doesn’t want us to leave the island.”

After a moment of silence, Shao Hengjiang said, “Send a message by pigeon, have the third brother come over with two boats. But he must be careful not to be targeted by Pan Jianglong’s men.”

That’s right, as long as they had the map, they could find this place quickly.

Nangong Yan felt somewhat relieved and said, “Right, we can have boats from outside come in, but we need to make sure they don’t get set on fire again.”

“Don’t worry, they won’t be burnt so easily.”

Wan Liyun said, “Chief, the situation doesn’t look good. If things continue like this, when will we reach Sacred Spirit Mountain?”

Nangong Yan let out a long sigh and said, “The most important thing is that we still don’t know where Ye Chen and the others are.”

Wan Liyun analyzed, “We’re completely unfamiliar with this place. We at least need to understand where we might encounter monsters. Otherwise, we’re like sitting ducks for surprise attacks, which is far too dangerous.”

Shao Hengjiang said, “Second, you take charge of this group, and I’ll take a few people and go ahead.”

Wan Liyun was surprised and said, “What?”

“Yan’er is right; we’re too many and too noticeable. I don’t think we would get far in half a month. Therefore, I’ll only take a handful of people and go ahead.”

Wan Liyun was shocked, “Isn’t that very dangerous?”

“Like this, don’t panic. You stay and learn more about the surroundings. Capture the people of Xiyue Island to find out how many they are and the layout of the land, including where the various monsters are located.”

Nangong Yan said, “I want to join too.”

“No, you stay here, follow Wan Liyun.”

“That’s not good either. Following them is even less safe. They could be targeted at any time. It’s safer with you.”

“Hey, if you’re with them, Wan Liyun will protect you,” Shao Hengjiang continued, “Don’t worry, I’ll find them and figure out a way to help them.”

“No, I must go.”

This girl was so stubborn.

Nangong Yan said again, “Otherwise, Li Mo and I will go find them by ourselves.” She glanced at Li Mo in the distance.

Shao Hengjiang absolutely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen, but right now, he was just her godfather, and she had only been calling him that for a couple of days. Why would she listen to him? Fearing something like that might happen, it was better to keep her with him.

“I have to find them myself.”

“No, I’ll take you with me. Let’s go find them together.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yan was, of course, overjoyed.
