Chapter 226 - 226 218 Brother is Just a Legend

Chapter 226: Chapter 218: Brother is Just a Legend Chapter 226: Chapter 218: Brother is Just a Legend They had arrived outside the Wasteland City, as nightfall crept in.

The city was already sealed off, and they set up a camp outside.

It was eerily quiet around.

The wind was whistling past their ears.

Can Mo said, “They wouldn’t harm the people in the city, would they?”

“They wouldn’t, not for now at least. But I can’t guarantee they won’t in the future. However, I won’t give them the opportunity.” Wei Sisan said. He had secretly received a message via carrier pigeon from Ming Qi, shedding light on the general situation inside the Wasteland City.

Wei Sisan said, “Everyone rest. We’ll discuss any situations that arise later.”

Swiftly, an arrangement was made.

Ye Chen leaned against the fire pit, waiting for the roast meat to be ready.

His belly was already rumbling.

However, the roast meat chef turned out to be quite good.

Before them, darkness enveloped the area.

Gui Lang searched for some New City Sect disciples, but couldn’t find Ming Qi, which somewhat infuriated him. He was upset and unsure about what to do next.

Meanwhile, Ming Qi, who had prepared plenty of food, was hiding underground, right under them — the Gua Zhengnie’s residence, which was originally their own mansion and the Third Demon’s mansion. There was a secret passage leading to the outside, which they could use to infiltrate the mansion anytime. However, they decided not to act immediately, instead, they waited for the signal from Wei Sisan outside the city. Naturally, Gua Zhengnie was oblivious to this.

Ye Chen found a hilltop. There he sat, eating the roast meat while enjoying the surrounding scenery.

Listening to the whispering wind.

After making arrangements, Can Mo found Wei Sisan. By now, the city was already sealed off. Can Mo said, “Sect Leader, it appears Gua Zhengnie has completely shown his true colors.”

Wei Sisan chuckled lightly and said, “He was always going to eventually, but he decided to show it himself.”

“But the Wasteland City is in his hands. If we siege the city, wouldn’t they use the people inside the city against us?” Can Mo expressed his concern.

Li Mo opined, “I think they wouldn’t dare to do so.”

“But what if they grow desperate, surely they would resort to that.”

Li Mo retorted, “But we can’t retreat just because they are pressuring us. Doesn’t that mean they would solely possess the Wasteland City henceforth!”

Wei Sisan took it all in, remaining silent.

Can Mo asked, “Sect Leader, do you have another plan?”

Indeed, Wei Sisan had another plan. He said, “We will start the battle with them tomorrow. Let’s see their response and then we will adjust accordingly.”

“So, Ming Qi and his men will be coordinating with us, correct?” asked Li Mo Wen.

Wei Sisan replied, “Indeed, they will be coordinating with us. However, they will only emerge at the right time.”

Li Mo added, “We still have an advantageous move.”

Now it’s clear that Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu are in cahoots.

“The two of them can’t stir up much trouble. As long as we apply pressure on them tomorrow, once Ming Qi breaks out, we’ll quickly take control of everything.” Wei Sisan said confidently, having already planned it all in his mind.

Can Mo opined, “It would be best if we could attack and capture the Wasteland City before Gua Zhengnie realises anything. That way, we can avoid casualties.” He remained unaware of the secret passage into Gua Zhengnie’s residence.

At this point, Wei Sisan was still calm. The only unknown factor was how many men Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu had in the city. Whether they could conquer the city within a day was uncertain. Of course, he hoped to capture the Wasteland City within a day, to rob Gua Zhengnie of any chance to react. However, he couldn’t guarantee this. They needed to fight for half a day to decide whether Ming Qi should make his move.

Ling’er found Ye Chen on the hill, lying as if asleep, all by himself. She strolled over with some food in her hand. Ye Chen glanced at her.

“Have you eaten yet?” Ling’er asked.

Sitting up, Ye Chen said, “Did you bring me some food?”

“You can’t find food for yourself when you’re hungry?” Ling’er handed him some mutton chop.

“Oh man, don’t be stingy.”

“What are you thinking about? Why did you run off here all alone?”

“Wondering whether I should return to the Central Plains.”

“Do you have any family in the Central Plains?”

“Not really.”

“What do you mean by ‘not really’?”

“I mean, there’s no difference between having them and not.”

“So, you mean there’s no difference between them being alive or dead.”

“I guess so.”

“Then what are you going back for?”

“To seek justice and find my beloved love.”

“Seek justice! What does that mean?”

“To seek justice for my deceased mother.”

“You don’t mean to tell me that your father is still alive.”

“Whether he is alive or dead doesn’t make a difference.”

“How can you speak about your father that way?”

“That’s just the way it is.” Ye Chen replied.

“Eh, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask.”

“There’s nothing much to mention, it’s pretty boring.”

Ling’er was curious and asked, “You mentioned a lover just now – who is she?”

“A damsel who would make anyone drool in their dreams.”

“Talking about lovers, you were the same age as me when you entered the Wastelands. How old were you then?”

“You either can’t believe it, or can’t accept that she was prettier than you.”

“Nonsense, I never believe what you say. All you do is brag to me. She’s probably married and has children by now.”

“Ha ha, you really hope that’s the case, don’t you?”

Ling’er passed him a water flask, saying, “It’s not too bad in the Wastelands actually. My father quite likes you.”

“Just because your father likes me doesn’t mean I have to stay in the Wastelands. You’re not also trying to tell me you like me but you’re too shy, so you say your father likes me, do you?”

“Focus on how to deal with Gua Zhengnie. We may not be able to take control of Wasteland City.”

Ye Chen chuckled lightly and said, “I think you don’t need to worry about this. I believe your father must have a plan.”

“When it comes to numbers, we aren’t worried about Gua Zhengnie or concerned if he allies with Zun Yu. What worries us is if he decides to use the innocent people in Wasteland City as leverage against us.”

“I guess even before he makes such a decision, your father might already takes control of Wasteland City,” said Ye Chen.

“You really trust my father, don’t you?”

“Your father has made all the decisions the moment he escaped death. Everything happening now has been anticipated by your father. Perhaps, he had made preparations even before he left last time.”

“How do you know that?”

“I guessed.”

“No wonder my father likes you so much.”

“Yes, he likes you to the point of trying to hand you over to me.”

“Maybe you’re the one who wants me to marry you,” Ling’er teased.

“Not at all! I’m too young to become a father. Becoming one would hinder my freedom,” he said jokingly.

“If my father really leaves you the position as the Sect Leader, will you decide to stay?”

“Do you want me to stay?”

“What’s it to me?” said Ling’er.

“Well then, I really will leave.”

“If you want to go, then go.”

“I was actually thinking of doing that. The world is so vast, I want to venture outside. I can’t just stay here until I die. I originally came from the Central Plains, and I still tend to die there.”

“You should have a destination in mind, right?”

“Anywhere with beauties is a destination,” Ye Chen said.

“If you keep going like this, you really no will different from a vagabond.”

Ye Chen continued eating. To be honest, he was unsure what he wanted right now. The past thought of making a name for himself and then going back to seek justice had faded. He said, “How would I know I’m still alive if not for stirring up some trouble?” He guessed people he knew on the outside must think he’s dead.

“Actually, I also really want to wander around, but I just don’t have the opportunity.”

“You aren’t planning on going with me, are you?”

“If I say I am, would you reject me?”

“Ha, let’s forget it. I prefer being alone. It feels more free that way. You shouldn’t follow me. I’m unreliable. If I run out of money, I might just sell you.”

“Once you finish things here, will you go back?”

“Probably.”

“Why are you helping the New City Sect?”

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, “I lived in Wasteland City for five years and felt your father is quite just. I wouldn’t be too at ease if the Wastelands fall into other hands. Furthermore, I really wanted to train myself and make a name.”

“Do you really have to go back?” Her tone was somewhat reluctant. While this fellow had a bad mouth, he wasn’t entirely annoying, and he had taken a lot of burden off her father recently.

“Don’t be reluctant to let me go, hurry up and find someone else. I’m only part of a legend.”

“You should be more concerned about yourself.”

“I, I’m pretty free, I can do anything. Anyway, I don’t want to end up lonely and old in the Wastelands. I belong to the romantic type who is naturally unsuitable for living an ordinary life. I’m doomed to hurt any woman who follows me.”

“So, wouldn’t it be a pity if the position of the New City Sect was lost?”

“Actually, I didn’t totally stay for the position of New City Sect Leader. I just wanted to test myself, to see if I’m capable. Do you really think I’ll remain in the New City Sect if your father marries you to me!”

“Nobody wants to marry you, don’t flatter yourself.”

“Alright then, whatever you say goes. Just make sure to take care of yourself. If you really like me, confess quickly, otherwise you’ll lose your chance,” Ye Chen said.

Ling’er pouted, “Are you really hell-bent on returning to the Central Plains?”

“I’ve made up my mind. If I didn’t meet your father in the valley, I would probably have returned to the Central Plains by now.”

“What will you do when you return to the Central Plains?”

“I said I’m going to find my lover. It doesn’t necessarily mean that everything has to be planned out before I know what I’ll be doing in the Central Plains,” Ye Chen replied. In reality, he didn’t even know if he would have the courage to seek out familiar faces once he returned.

“You’re like a headless fly, a hobo. I hope your lover comes to meet you with a big belly.”

Ye Chen laughed, “I’ll become a wanderer then! Forget about me. I’m not a good guy.”
