Chapter 210 - 210 204 Searching for a Wife at Piaoxiang

Chapter 210: Chapter 204: Searching for a Wife at Piaoxiang Tavern Chapter 210: Chapter 204: Searching for a Wife at Piaoxiang Tavern Tong Hegan agreed with Yang Jing’s suggestion and felt that they should unite to counter-attack, fearing the New City Sect would directly confront them once they were no longer occupied.

Someone came to report, saying, “They’ve left.”

“Which direction did they go?” Ci Ye asked.

“They seem to be heading towards Futu Valley, and they’re in quite a hurry.”

“It seems they escaped by the skin of their teeth, fearful of being surrounded by us again,” Er Gui said.

However, Yang Jing said, “They think they can just come and go as they please, how is that possible?” The memory of You Dao’s death and how they almost took him back to Tianle City enraged him, he absolutely wouldn’t let the people of the New City Sect escape so easily.

Er Gui said, “My boss is also on his way, and they will catch up with us as soon as possible.”

“Let’s wipe out this group of people first, we can’t let them return to Tianle City. They want to wipe us out and now they want to run away, how is that possible?” someone said.

Er Gui said, “I will get our boss to come and join us as soon as possible.”

However, Yang Jing said, “No need to meet up, just inform them of the location of the New City Sect’s group and have them directly chase after them.”

Er Gui nodded, understanding Yang Jing’s intentions.

Ci Ye suggested, “When the time comes, we will encircle them together.”

Yang Jing was very clear that they only had about two days left. If they got too far from Ghost City, it was very likely that the New City Sect’s men would come for them. It wouldn’t be easy to annihilate them then, and it could even be dangerous. He told Ci Ye, “We only have two days. If we can’t catch up, then we really won’t be able to.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way.”

“Alright, see if you can figure out a way to stall them,” Yang Jing said.

“I do have a method.”

Tong Hegan continued, “I’ve been raising a flock of Blood Bats. They’re not very obedient yet, but I think they should be of some use.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s great.”

“Alright, I’ll see what I can do now.”

Unbeknownst to them, it was already noon.

Can Mo led the disciples of the New City Sect and escaped from the mountains where trees gradually began to thin out. He followed Ye Chen’s plan and headed in the direction of Futu Valley.

A disciple came back to report, “They haven’t given up, they’re following us.”

“It seems they’re not going to rest until they’ve wiped us out,” Can Mo asked again, “Did they discover Ye Chen?”

“They shouldn’t have, they didn’t split up.”

“That’s good.” Can Mo was worried that they would discover Ye Chen, which would be troubling. He could currently lead them away, but he couldn’t just focus on the ones chasing them and be surrounded again.

Can Mo asked again, “How far are they away from us?”

“They should be half a day’s journey away from us.”

“Very good, you all tasted hardship yesterday, we can’t just focus on those behind us, we also need to be wary of the front and see if anyone is coming towards us from other directions. Report any suspicious activities immediately.”

The disciple nodded.

“We’re already pitifully few in number, I don’t want to be surrounded again.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on the front.”

However, Can Mo said, “You can’t just focus on the front, you need to watch the sides as well.”

“Understood.”

Having escaped from the jungle, the path was considerably more open, but they were not in their turf yet and danger could emanate from any direction. He couldn’t be negligent as getting their attention away from them would now require quickening their pace. Once they reached, the plan would be half completed.

The remaining men knew about the danger and were very cooperative in hastening their journey.

The sun had already started to set. Ye Chen and the others had long exited the forest. He asked Li Mo, “Can we reach Ghost City before nightfall?”

“Hmm, we should be able to.”

“That’s good, let’s rest for a bit.” Ye Chen glanced around to make sure they weren’t being watched before he let his guard down.

They did not start a fire and hid among a few trees. They couldn’t let their guard down and must evade the Winged Dragons in the sky. After a long day, they had already put some distance between themselves and Can Mo and were getting closer to Ghost City.

“In half an hour, we’ll speed up our progress. We must reach Ghost City before darkness falls.” After Ye Chen finished speaking, he went over to Ling’er, who was eating alone under a tree.

Ye Chen sat on the grass, smiling at Ling’er, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said, “Are you overwhelmed with emotions?”

Ling’er gave a cold smile, “I don’t believe your nonsense.”

“It’s not that you don’t believe it, you just can’t accept it, can you?”

“I do not believe it. It’s impossible for you to fall for someone in one night. Absolutely impossible.” She knew this guy had always lived in Wasteland City, so how could he know someone in Ghost City.

“There’s such a thing as love at first sight, how can anything be impossible?”

“You didn’t have a chance to go out that night.”

“Who said? That night, I went directly to Piaoxiang Tavern after not being able to sleep when I got back. As luck would have it, I fancy someone, she’s so pretty.”

“Piaoxiang Tavern! A lady from Piaoxiang Tavern?”

“Yes. The ladies there are hands down the prettiest in Ghost City. It’s the number one place in Ghost City.”

“The number one brothel! Don’t try to fool me with such nonsense. I’m not that easy to deceive.”

“Don’t believe it, huh? When the time comes, I’ll bring it out, then you’ll see.” Ye Chen continued, “You won’t object, will you?”

“I knew you were a big pervert, daring to go to a brothel, even jumping into the Yellow River won’t cleanse your name.”

“I admit it. Anyway, in your eyes, I’m someone with a tarnished reputation, and I don’t care.” Ye Chen responded.

“My dad… How could he favor someone like you?”

“Maybe because I’m outstanding, he doesn’t care about my unorthodox behavior.”

“Stop bothering me, I want to sleep.”

“It looks like you’re really affected by my provocations.” Ye Chen moved closer.

But Ling’er closed her eyes.

“I’ll also take a nap.” Ye Chen squeezed over, seemingly feeling a bit warmer this way.

She pushed him away with a slap, shouting, “Beat it.”

“Let’s talk nicely, in the future I’ll let you be the boss.” Ye Chen replied.

“I have nothing to talk to you about.”

“No matter how many women I have, I’ll treat you well.”

“Go away, you pervert!”

“We can negotiate this. If you admit regretting it now, I might consider it, but you have to be clear. Only if you admit that you’ve started to have feelings for me.”

“Get lost, don’t disturb me. You’re so crazy to consider going to the brothel, I won’t believe it.”

Everything became quiet, cool breezes blew across their faces. They had already moved away from Centipede Mountain, no longer smelling that nauseating stench.

It was dusk, the colorful clouds slowly dissolving. Ye Chen and the others split up into several groups and did not go in together. If they had, it would’ve drawn attention. At this critical moment, it was easy to arouse people in Ghost City. If someone from the No. One Thieves found out, it could cause trouble, so they needed to be cautious.

They put on civilian clothes and confirmed their inn. They had someone go to a somewhat remote inn, one with fewer people passing by, and booked a large room, then ordered food.

Groups of about ten people came in one by one.

Ling’er still did not believe Ye Chen’s words. She didn’t think he was such a person. From what she had observed these days, he seemed to be very serious and wouldn’t act so childishly. She asked, “Monkey, you should tell me, what are you going to do exactly?”

“Didn’t I tell you already? I want a wife, go to the Piaoxiang Tavern to find a wife, a really beautiful wife.” Ye Chen said.

“I don’t believe a word you are saying.”

“There’s nothing I can do if you don’t. I know it’s hard for you to accept, but I’ve made up my mind. When the time comes, don’t regret it and say that you’ve fallen for me.”

“Nonsense!”

Li Mo and the others nearby chuckled.

Li Mo said, “Ling’er, you can’t bear to give him to someone else.”

“I think so too, but she won’t admit it, even called me narcissistic, said she had totally no interest in me.” Ye Chen replied.

“How is that possible? Your dad has already betrothed her to you, look at Ling’er, she didn’t object at all, if she doesn’t like you, how could she not object?” Li Mo countered.

“That’s what I thought too, but she insisted she doesn’t like me. What can I do? I can only find someone else.” Ye Chen replied.

“Ling’er is shy, she’s just not good at expressing it.” Li Mo added.

Ling’er glared at Li Mo, saying, “Have nothing better to say? You deliberately picked on me.”

Li Mo quickly ceased talking.

Ye Chen said, “Enough, we can go to the inn now, your stomachs must be hungry.”

By now, it was already dark and the streets were bustling.

Ye Chen led them to the designated inn under the cover of darkness. As expected, the inn wasn’t crowded, especially the lounge on the first floor. They went to their designated room on the second floor and ordered food for two large tables.

Ye Chen looked outside, seeing they had not attracted anyone’s attention. He closed the room door and said, “Never mind anything else, just eat. We’ll talk after we are full.”

Everyone squeezed together, no longer caring about manners and focused on filling their stomachs.

Ye Chen looked at Ling’er, who was still confused, and asked, “Aren’t you hungry?” He tore off a chicken leg for her and said, “Eat quickly. Once we start, there won’t be time for you to eat. Don’t say you’re hungry after.”

Ling’er is half believing, half doubting.

“Pretty good, the food’s not bad.” Ye Chen said while eating roasted chicken.

After about an hour, everyone was seventy to eighty percent full. Ye Chen started to arrange things, saying, “You ten are in charge of preparing a horse for each person. You can have more, but not less.”

The ten of them nodded in agreement.

Ye Chen asked, “Who knows how to choose horses?”

Two people raised their hands. One said, “I’ve traded horses.”

The other person said, “I’ve raised horses?”

“Fine, you two will be responsible for selecting the horses.” Ye Chen continued, “Once the horse is chosen, lead it straight to the woods in the corner outside the city gate. It must be completed within two hours.”

They all nodded in agreement with each other.
