Chapter 247 - 247 235 Wei Yiling Gets Jealous

Chapter 247: Chapter 235: Wei Yiling Gets Jealous Chapter 247: Chapter 235: Wei Yiling Gets Jealous “Oh, it smells so good.” Cui Mengyan said.

“Of course, the spice blend I made, how can it not be fragrant?” Ye Chen said happily.

“Be humble, don’t be so arrogant.” Meng Yan said.

In less than half a day, they had already caught close to ten fish.

Meng Yan said: “It seems there are fish in this lake.”

“Hmm, in the past, if I was bored, I would squat here for half a day, I wouldn’t starve to death.”

“Don’t tell me, all these years, it was just you, with no friends.”

“I really don’t have any friends, actually I don’t have that much time, I’m always busy practicing martial arts, where would I have spare time to make friends.”

“You really can bear the loneliness.” Cui Mengyan knew that without surpassing ordinary people’s efforts, one couldn’t hope to achieve extraordinary results in martial arts.

“Not really, I’ve got used to it. Everything is negotiable since it was forced out of me.”

“It’s rare to hear this from a young man’s mouth.” Meng Yan said.

“Really! Someone said to me that potential is forced out. Humans are naturally lazy. I agree with this. Truly, if you don’t press yourself, you really wouldn’t know how much potential you have.”

“So are you still practicing now?”

“Once I stop, I become lazy again.” Ye Chen said.

Meng Xiuluo chuckled when he heard this.

“Come on, give it a taste.”

“There isn’t any sedative drug inside, right?”

“I’m indeed not a good person, but I wouldn’t do such thing.”

Ling’er was thinking along the way, she couldn’t believe it, but Wan Lan should not lie to her, she became more confused. Unaware, she had arrived at the entrance of Liuye Manor and indeed heard people talking inside.

Ye Chen was heard saying: “Don’t worry, I won’t do this.”

But Meng Yan said: “I’m just afraid your future wife will be heartbroken, a waste wouldn’t matter much.”

Ye Chen chuckled, “Don’t worry, she hasn’t become my wife yet.”

Ling’er didn’t enter immediately, she wanted to listen carefully from outside. Although she didn’t want to eavesdrop, Wan Lan’s words made her curious and she wanted to hear if it was really as she said.

“You should be content! A beauty like her has been promised to you, what are you still considering? Her family’s conditions are so good, a country bumpkin like you marries her, you’d eventually become the Sect Leader anyway, it won’t be so bad. What are you still considering about returning to Central Plains?”

“I can’t just sell myself off for the position of Sect Leader.” Ye Chen continued: “I’d rather marry someone ordinary with less burden, family conditions don’t matter.”

“Hehe, naive, making everything look too perfect.”

“What’s too perfect?”

“If you marry her, you’ll directly become the Sect Leader, and you’ll have a carefree life in the future, you won’t need to worry about anything.”

“I don’t have such intentions, I don’t want to trap myself like that, it’s too restricting. I prefer a simpler life, doing things at my own pace. Freedom is most important.”

“Freedom comes with a price, just like rights and obligations. If you have powerful rights, you’ll have great obligations. You can’t have the best of both worlds.”

“I haven’t thought about that.”

“Ling’er is good, really good.”

“You’ve only known her for a day, not even a full day yet, and you think that.”

“Of course, wouldn’t you like someone like me who is a nobody? If I hadn’t met you guys, I’d probably be limping now. Reality is just like this, it’s unfair. It’s all about whether you can accept it or not. Ling’er can make Young Master Dugu step down with just one sentence and save my life, but I don’t have such an ability. She is so beautiful, what else does she want?”

“Let’s not talk about this, those things are all in the past.” Ye Chen said again: “But you are also very beautiful.”

“Really?”

“Of course, I seldom compliment others. Even Ling’er, I haven’t complimented her”

“Don’t sweet talk me, I am not falling for it. Complimenting me here and complimenting Ling’er there, I know you boys too well, saying one thing to humans and another to ghosts, you’re all smooth talkers.”

“Really, you’re able to work and you’re attractive, who wouldn’t like someone like this who saves them trouble?”

Ling’er listening outside was feeling uneasy. These two, they didn’t act like they met for the first time. It wasn’t even a full day yet, and they talked about everything, she was shocked. Especially Cui Mengyan’s words, is she really a simple girl? Those words don’t seem to come from a simple, shy girl.

It seems this girl is not as simple as she imagined, is she being too naive? What should she do?

“So, have I knocked you off your feet?” Ye Chen said.

“I was just joking with you, you took it so seriously.”

Ye Chen chuckled softly when he heard this.

“Are we still fishing?”

Meng Yan glanced at the bucket of fish and said, “We’ve got a bucket full already.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “Yes, we’ve got a full bucket.” He also put down the fishing rod.

“Do you really think I’m beautiful?”

“Beautiful.”

“How do I compare with Ling’er who might possibly be your wife?”

“Each has its own merits, but you’re a bit more adorable and less daunting.”

“Really?”

“Really, I’m not lying to you, I don’t tell lies.”

“But how can I compare with her? Her family is so well-off and I’m just from a poor family, I’m incomparable to her, at most I’m just a foot washer.”

“I don’t care about that, I’m also a wanderer.”

“But I care about that.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “We can’t choose the kind of family we are born into, or what we look like or how our lives will be, but we can choose how to live our lives, how to accept what has been arranged for us early on, in order to better face ourselves, so don’t feel inferior.”

“What you’re saying makes some sense, but few people really put it into practice.”

“It’s not about making sense, it’s really like this. You might feel that life has treated you unfairly, causing you to suffer hardships. I understand. But don’t be pessimistic. You’re fine now. Some hardships can help you grow stronger. That girl, she’s quite naive and inexperienced. Last time, she almost got stabbed.”

“What happened?”

“She was tricked by Hong Ying and held hostage. That’s why she isn’t as experienced as we are. She’s lost her innocence, but she is more authentic and understands that life isn’t easy.”

“Hmm, maybe you’re right.”

“In her presence, I seldom talk about these things. Every time we meet, we’re always bickering, either she never submits to me or vice versa.”

“I haven’t seen that.”

“It’s a bit better now than it was in the past.”

“Hehe, I’m still quite glad I met you.”

“Really!”

“The environment here is quite nice, I quite like it here.”

“If you like it here, I can give you the house keys.”

“Give me the house keys? You’re not going to make me the lady of the house, are you? It’s your home, it doesn’t seem right.”

“Oh, what’s the big deal? I originally chose this location for its tranquility, to practice my martial arts. But now, I’ve become lazy, I don’t practice much anymore and rarely come back. The place is practically abandoned, as you can see, weeds are growing everywhere. If they’re not taken care of soon, they might grow taller than me. The house, if unoccupied, will soon fall into ruin. It needs a lady to take care of it.”

Blushing, Cui Mengyan couldn’t find a response.

Ye Chen soon realized he’d misspoke.

Suddenly, they heard someone calling for Ling’er outside.

Turns out Ling’er had been eavesdropping at the door. Some disciples from the Sky Lake Manor just happened to spot Ling’er, and they called to her. Startled, Ling’er quickly waved, hoping they would go away. But she attracted Ye Chen and Cui Mengyan’s attention. Ye Chen quickly stood up, went out, and opened the door, making Ling’er jump in surprise.

“You cheeky girl, what are you doing here?” Ye Chen asked seriously.

“Can’t I be here?”

“You’re not keeping an eye on me, are you? Afraid that I…”

“Nonsense! I just arrived at Sky Lake Manor, saw that your door wasn’t closed properly, and I was worried that thieves might get in. So, I came to check.”

“Then why were you standing by the door… eavesdropping on us?”

“I wasn’t doing anything that boring.”

Cui Mengyan came out carrying grilled fish.

“Are you fishing? Quite a cozy life you’re living here.” Wei Yiling pushed Ye Chen aside.

“Yes, there are a lot of fish in the lake. We grilled a lot and couldn’t finish them. Ye Chen’s cooking skills are excellent. You came at just the right time,” Mengyan said.

Ling’er took a look inside and asked, “Are you two planning to move in here together?”

Mengyan shook her head. But Ye Chen answered before her, “Yes, I’ve thought about it. It’s more comfortable here.”

“You’re tricking that poor girl,” Ling’er walked towards the grill, pointing a finger without any politeness.

“We didn’t bother your romantic talks, did we?” Ling’er asked again.

Ye Chen laughed lightly, “You sure know how to pick a time, coming exactly at this moment.”

“Nonsense!” Ling’er deliberately said, “You didn’t use a sedative drug, did you?”

Mengyan replied, “Miss Ling’er likes joking.”

Ye Chen also walked over. He didn’t believe that Ling’er just happened to arrive at Sky Lake Manor.

Ling’er asked, “Are you seriously planning to live together here?”

Meng Yan shook her head and said, “No.”

But Ye Chen said, “I’m considering it. I don’t feel free in your courtyard, like being constantly watched.”

“You just don’t have the chance to take advantage of people.”

But Mengyan defended him, “Hey, there’s no such thing. Ye Chen won’t do anything like that.”

“He’s just tricking you. Perhaps one day, he’ll kiss you out of the blue and you won’t even know what happened. By then, he’ll tell you that his illness flared up.”

On hearing this, Mengyan said, “Really?”

“No way! I’m the victim here, you don’t know him. He likes to play these games, that’s how I ended up at a disadvantage.” She said this intentionally, pretending to be upset, as if she felt better exposing him.

“Did Ye Chen kiss you unexpectedly?”

“Yes, he did.”

She never wanted to talk about this incident and yet today, without blushing, she brought it up. Moreover, she wasn’t embarrassed at all, which surprised Ye Chen, though he quickly understood.

“Then why don’t you treat him like a pervert?” asked Mengyan.

“He saved my life back then. What’s the use in calling him a pervert? He did tell me, ‘What’s a kiss? At least I’m not asking you to give me your body.'” Ling’er stated.

“This is definitely the work of a big pervert.” Cui Mengyan looked at Ye Chen. Ye Chen put his hand on his forehead, seemingly unable to deny his actions.

“so be careful not to end up having to give him your body.”

“No worries, I think he’s quite good, very polite.”

“That’s all an act. Who knows what he’s really thinking in his heart. He’s insidious.”

“He probably isn’t.” Mengyan argued.

“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Maybe Ye Chen only loses his composure when he’s with you, and not with others.”

“I don’t know about that, but it’s better for you to stay away from him, to avoid being hurt.”
