Chapter 234 - 234 224 Who is this Distinguished Zen Master

Chapter 234: Chapter 224: Who is this Distinguished Zen Master? Chapter 234: Chapter 224: Who is this Distinguished Zen Master? Only Wei Sisan, Ye Chen, and Ling’er were left.

“Ling’er said you have no interest in being our new sect leader? Want to go back to Central Plains?” Wei Sisan asked.

“Your New City Sect is full of talents, you won’t miss one person like me.” Ye Chen replied.

“That’s not the case. We still lack someone with your caliber,” Wei Sisan went on, “People with your level of martial arts skills are even rarer. But you still need intensive training for some time, at least to get familiarized with the state of the Wastelands.”

“You’re not going to force me to marry your daughter, are you?”

“Ask Ling’er, she’s the one to decide.”

Ling’er was anxious, she cried out, “Daddy…” but didn’t know what to add.

Ye Chen looked at Ling’er and said, “You’re not going to ask me to live in this courtyard, I’m not used to living here.”

“Let Ling’er arrange that for you. I need to go out.” Wei Sisan stood up.

“What do you mean ‘let her arrange’, she can’t arrange anything,” Ye Chen said.

Wei Sisan had already left.

Ye Chen looked at Ling’er and said, “Weren’t you supposed to come back and clarify things with your father? It seems like you haven’t made things clear, it’s just getting more complicated.”

Ling’er responded with a cold laugh and turned to leave.

“What does that mean?” Ye Chen yelled.

“In my courtyard, you can choose to stay or leave.” Suddenly, the matter of the Zen Master came up and it wasn’t clarified yet, things were becoming surprisingly complicated. It seems the New City Sect will be kept busy for a while, keeping this monkey around should give them some help.

“Your courtyard? Living in your courtyard again, that doesn’t seem right.”

“Look around, after such battle, having a place for you to stay is not bad at all. There’s even someone responsible for your breakfast, it’s better than you living all alone in the Liuye Manor.”

“I am a rare talent, how could you arrange any random place for me to live in? I didn’t come here because I couldn’t feed myself, and I’m not clinging to you.” Ye Chen said.

Ling’er responded with a cold, shallow smile.

“This kind of shallow smile makes me feel uncomfortable.” Ye Chen said.

“If you feel uncomfortable, find an inn to stay in yourself. If you want, you can even go live in a brothel.”

“How could a civilized person like me live in a brothel?” Ye Chen said, “There should be maids in your courtyard responsible for my three meals a day, right? I need to take a bath at night.”

“Do you want two maids to help you scrub your back when you take a bath?”

“Oh, that would be great! Even better if you’d do it.”

“I’ll find two obese maids for you, they will serve you well, you’ll be satisfied for sure.”

“Nevermind, just you.”

The voices of the two faded away at the end of the courtyard.

Wei Sisan quickly arrived at the square, greeted the leaders, and said, “I think you’ve heard some, Zen Master, someone I also want to know about, but Shen Tian and Shen Li, you should know, someone who can command Shen Tian and Shen Li, must be someone extraordinary.”

“Are we really unifying the Wastelands?” someone worriedly asked.

Wei Sisan said, “We don’t know yet, it’s unclear, but we must be prepared. Since they came prepared, we cannot be negligent.”

Can Mo said, “Sect leader, we should make good arrangements, if there’s anything, just say it.”

Someone else suggested, “We should close the city.”

But Wei Sisan replied, “Closing the city is not necessary, it’s not that urgent yet. But we should be prepared to close the city, especially to meet a large-scale war.” We shouldn’t be negligent.

Can Mo suggested, “Exactly, we can’t let our guard down.”

“I’m not entirely clear about the current situation, but I also want to clear it up as soon as possible. I’ve sent someone from the Wastelands to Central Plains, I want to see what’s happening in the Central Plains.”

“We should be prepared for anything, not to be taken by surprise.” A disciple suggested.

“Yes, we don’t know exactly what’s happening, but we should be prepared. My preparations aren’t that complicated, you should just be responsible for defending your posts. We should be ready for a larger war and find out what’s happening as soon as possible.” Wei Sisan was somewhat eager.

Among the disciples, there was some panic. After all, those people just appeared and already recruited Yang Jing and Jue Ming, it was too fast. Although they were remnants, to recruit them so quickly was not an easy feat.

Can Mo said, “Our New City Sect has experienced life and death, we’ve handled so many events recently very well, we will overcome anything.”

Wei Sisan made some arrangements quickly and dismissed everyone.

Kong Sha worriedly asked, “I wonder if Gua Zhengnie and the others might have been subdued by them.”

Wei Sisan was pondering the same, but he knew there was no use worrying. He said, “Let’s not worry about that, it’s out of our control. We should focus on doing what we can now.”

Wei Sisan asked, “Kong Sha, did you send the message to Central Plains yet?”

“Uh-huh, the message has been sent, if there’s any news from the Central Plains, we’ll know soon.”

“Good, let me know as soon as you get the message.”

They had to pass through Tianle City on their way to the Wastelands. Wei Sisan’s biggest worry was Tianle City. He said, “Ask the people in Tianle City to be alert. Report any situation promptly.”

“Got it, I’ve told them to stay in if there’s no business out there.” Kong Sha answered.

Wei Sisan coughed once and was silent for a while.

Can Mo asked, “I wonder how the Sky Domain Sect is doing.”

“Let’s not worry about the Sky Domain Sect, let’s focus on what we can do.” Wei Sisan said.

Ye Chen returned to Ling’er’s courtyard and saw Wan Lan, who said, “You bastard, aren’t you planning to stay in our courtyard again?”

“Wow, you’re spot on; how did you guess?”

Wan Lan glanced at Ling’er and asked, “Is what he’s saying true?”

“Yes. It’s true.” Ling’er thought about the Zen Master’s recent situation, she believed there would be many challenges to come. With Ye Chen’s help, her father might be able to deal with them easier. She wouldn’t want him to sneak away.

“Why does he have to stay in our yard when there are so many other places he could stay?”

Ye Chen answered, “Because your Ling’er has deeply fallen in love with me, she can’t leave me. There’s nothing I can do.”

“Pah, we have unfinished business from this morning,” Wan Lan shouted.

“What happened this morning?”

“The part where you lied to me.”

“I didn’t lie to you. We are really together, she is just too shy to tell you.”

“Ha. I would never believe your nonsense.”

“Seems like your Ling’er is truly shy, she’s not ready to tell you about our relationship. I understand.”

Ling’er said, “Accommodation is tight at the moment, so we’ll let him stay here.”

Wan Lan snorted, as Ye Chen beamed with satisfaction.

Gua Zhengnie fled eastward with about five hundred men, fearing they would be pursued by Wei Sisan’s followers. They continually sent out scouts and were relieved to find no trace of Wei Sisan’s men. As dusk fell, they planned to stop and discuss their next move when a cavalry about a thousand strong suddenly approached from the east.

Elder Xi Feng hurriedly reported, “Earth King, a group of people is coming from the east.”

“Are they Wei Sisan’s men?” Gua Zhengnie asked.

“No.”

Having heard of the Zen Master’s recent activities, Gua Zhengnie said, “Could it be the Zen Master we’ve heard tales of?”

“What should we do?” Elder Xi Feng asked.

“Let’s avoid them.”

But before they could scatter, two columns of cavalrymen approached from the left and the right. One was led by Jue Ming and the other by Yang Jing.

Gua Zhengnie was taken aback. “I heard rumors that you guys had joined the Zen Master. At first I didn’t believe it, but now I do.”

Yang Jing replied, “Even a bird picks its tree. We didn’t have a choice.”

“Huh, I never imagined that Yang Jing, who I repeatedly invited to join us, would say such a thing.”

“There’s nothing to be surprised about. If you knew what kind of person the Zen Master is, you would do the same.”

Gua Zhengnie looked at Yang Jing, “Is this some kind of threat to get us to join you?”

“Haha, that’s a question for the Zen Master.”

“I decide my fate. I never intended to have someone else as my master.”

“I’m afraid you won’t have a choice today.”

“Haha, really?”

A torrent of dust blew towards them as the group of men got closer.

Everyone looked ahead. Walking at the front was a middle-aged man, who was robust and big-boned, like a typical northerner. Even though he was not old, there were already streaks of white hair on his head, giving him an immortal-like aura.

“Is that the Zen Master?” Gua Zhengnie asked.

“Yes, that’s him.” Yang Jing replied.

“Where is he from?”

“That, we don’t know.”

“You don’t even know where he’s from yet you still joined him?”

“All I know is that those who don’t join him won’t come out well. He plans to unify the Wastelands,” Yang Jing said.

“Haha, does he have that power?” Gua Zhengnie laughed dismissively.

“I don’t know about that, but I’ve tasted the bitter fruit before.”

They were getting closer and closer.

A voice called out, “Are you the Zen Master?”

“Yes, I am the Zen Master.” The Zen Master continued, “Would you like to join us?”

“Do you want me to become your leader?” Gua Zhengnie asked.

“That depends if you have the potential.”

“I’m interested in trying. I’ve been a leader for a long time and have no desire to be second-in-command.”

“Haha, I’m afraid you might not even qualify as second-in-command.”

Gua Zhengnie leapt up, launching a powerful strike that roused a wave of energy, kicking up a lethal dust storm. It became a barely visible snake of sand, slithering straight towards the Zen Master.

Yet the Zen Master was extremely calm. “Whoosh…” Without making any moves, an arc of lightning shot forth, instantly engulfing the sand snake.
