Chapter 251 - 251 239 Having a disagreement

Chapter 251: Chapter 239: Having a disagreement Chapter 251: Chapter 239: Having a disagreement At dusk, after dinner, Ling’er seemed particularly cheerful. Wan Lan and Meng Yan cleared the table, carrying away the dishes and utensils before retreating. Suddenly, Ye Chen and Ling’er were the only two left in the courtyard.

Although it was still twilight, the sunset glow began to dissipate. Soon, it would disappear completely, turning gray as night fell swiftly.

Ye Chen asked, “Ling’er, is someone moving into our courtyard?”

Ling’er responded, “No.”

“Then why did Cui Mengyan say she is moving to Liuye Manor?”

Ling’er felt a bit awkward and hesitantly nodded her head.

“Did she disturb you?” Ye Chen asked.

“No.”

“Then why is it?”

“She can’t live in our courtyard forever; she’s already been here for a few days. She has to move out at some point to start afresh. Isn’t that right?”

Ye Chen gave a light smile and a nod of agreement. It was a decent excuse that sounded reasonable.

However, Ling’er felt as though she had done something wrong.

“The Zen Master and the others will bring people here tomorrow. We have no idea what sort of chaos will ensue or how many monsters will invade the city. It won’t be easy. If something happens to her, a girl living alone in Liuye Manor, what should we do? I know she will move out eventually, but it shouldn’t be at this time.” Ye Chen said.

His stance was clearly in reproach of her actions, but Ling’er argued back, “I didn’t necessarily want her to go to Liuye Manor. She could go to Sky Lake Manor, where the disciples of our New City Sect are. They can protect her.”

“Saying that, she won’t dare to go to Sky Lake Manor. She’ll think you dislike her and fear disturbing you. How could she have the face to go to Sky Lake Manor? Even a fool could see this.”

“I can send people to protect her at Liuye Manor.”

“What’s the point in that? All it means to keep her here is one more pair of chopsticks. Why are you so insistent on making her leave? Is it that you’re too narrow-minded?”

Upon hearing this, Ling’er’s eyes widened. “How am I narrow-minded? I didn’t force her to go to Liuye Manor. I didn’t drive her away.”

“You’re a girl too; don’t you understand? How could she possibly say she doesn’t want to go after you’ve said this! She’ll overthink things; she’s just escaped from danger and now you’re sending her to the run-down Liuye Manor. Do you have no shame?”

“I didn’t insist on her going to Liuye Manor. If she wants to live elsewhere, I can give her some silver taels.”

“Ha, right, you have silver taels, but she can’t accept such a great favor. She can only choose to go to Liuye Manor.”

Ling’er, bristling with indignation, retorted, “Are you accusing me?”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“I didn’t think that much at the time.” Ling’er sounded somewhat regretful. She hadn’t done anything like this before and clearly, Ye Chen didn’t approve. It seemed like she had underestimated this girl. The girl must have said something to Ye Chen, or else he wouldn’t be acting this way. She had really underestimated her.

“What’s the big deal? It’s just an extra pair of chopsticks. We can talk about this later.”

Ling’er didn’t respond.

Ye Chen continued, “How could you do this?”

Ling’er was extremely dissatisfied with his tone and even more upset about the girl. How could he defend her so much? This girl really wasn’t simple. She had never saw it coming.

Ye Chen said, “She’s just staying a few more days, what’s the fuss about? It’s like you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. It’s quite chaotic during this time.”

Suddenly, Ling’er frowned angrily, and retorted, “What’s wrong with wanting a bit of peace and quiet here?”

“Ha, you weren’t like this before. You’re becoming increasingly unreasonable.”

“Yes, I am becoming more and more unreasonable, okay? I am indeed unreasonable.” Ling’er was already standing now, intending to leave. She happened to collide with Meng Yan, who was entering. She snorted and left without a second glance.

Meng Yan paused, but she probably knew why. She approached Ye Chen and asked, “Ye Chen, did I upset you guys?”

Ye Chen smiled gently, “Don’t overthink; nothing happened.”

Meng Yan continued, “I should just move to Liuye Manor.”

“Don’t be so stubborn. How many times have I said you should stay here? Why are you so insistent on going to Liuye Manor?”

“I don’t want you guys to argue over me.”

“There was no argument, just a bickering. Don’t worry, just go and do your work.” Ye Chen wondered, did he say something too harsh? He didn’t seem to notice.

As Ling’er stormed out, she bumped into Wan Lan. Wan Lan had no idea what had happened and followed her.

“Ling’er, what’s wrong?” Mu Wanlan asked.

“Just trying to get her to move out, why is everyone so uptight about it?” Ling’er muttered to herself.

Wan Lan had already caught up to her, but she still had no idea what Ling’er was talking about.

“Ling’er, what happened?”

Only then did Ling’er speak, “I just wanted Meng Yan to move out. I didn’t force her to leave. This cunning girl seems fine in front of me. She agreed to it but went behind my back and changed her mind. She even went directly to Ye Chen. She’s really not a simple girl.”

“You wanted Cui Mengyan to move out?”

Ling’er nodded.

“Did Ye Chen object?”

“More than that. He practically leapt up in outrage, accusing me of being narrow-minded and increasingly unreasonable. I’ve never seen him act so concerned or upset.”

Wan Lan smiled, “You seem very angry.”

“Of course, I’m angry. He reprimanded me so harshly, how could I not be?”

“I guess it’s not as simple as him scolding you.”

Anxious, Ling’er roared, “What do you mean?”

“Would you have been angry before?”

“What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing, I don’t want to say anything.”

“You’re talking in riddles.”

Wan Lan gave a slight smile.

“This damned lass, sounding so convincing in front of me. She’s indeed thoughtful, I underestimated her.”

“I told you I thought you were taking her for granted, but you wouldn’t believe me.”

“This girl isn’t falling for him, is she?” Ling’er mumbled to herself.

Wan Lan glanced over, saying, “It’s indeed possible. Ye Chen is the future sect leader of the New City Sect in your father’s eyes.”

“You think it’s possible? Could it all have developed this quickly?”

“Perhaps Ye Chen is just too exceptional. It’s normal for people to like him. When someone as good as him shows any interest, even an old hen would turn into a Phoenix.”

Ling’er wrinkled her nose, saying, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true. I told you to clear things up with your father as soon as possible. You didn’t listen to me, now you regret it, right?”

“Clear what up?”

“Get things done as soon as possible.”

“You crazy girl.”

“Heh, crazy, you’re feeling the threat now, aren’t you? Get rid of it quickly, and you’ll have no more troubles.”

“Stop it. There’s nothing. I just dislike that girl and want some peace.”

“Truly just want some peace? Then why are you so angry?”

“Of course, what else do you think I want?”

“Well, I don’t know. Only you know what you think. It’s understandable if you’re jealous.”

“Nonsense.”

“So what are we going to do now?”

Ling’er’s anger fades a bit. She shakes her head and says, “What can we do? We can’t just kick her out. Then he would accuse me of being narrow-minded and unreasonable.”

“You’re jealous because they’re too close.”

“No.”

“Alright, I said you don’t admit it, but it’s no big deal.”

“Who didn’t admit it? That’s just how it is.”

“Okay, then what are you planning to do?”

“I don’t know. The Zen Master will come and kill us tomorrow, what else can we do?”

“Is he really coming to kill us!”

“Of course, do you think it’s a joke?” Ling’er shakes her head.

“So do you still want to send her away?”

“Forget it, I don’t want to provoke him. That girl is not simple, she definitely won’t accept it.”

Wan Lan seemed a bit puzzled, “Yes, this lass, her look as a good person. Ling’er, you saved her, if she didn’t feel grateful, that would be fine. But her acting this way, it’s really heartless, no sense of gratitude at all.”

In the morning, they ignored Meng Yan, who was also feeling awkward. She knew Ling’er was angry and that made her very uncomfortable.

She wanted to greet Ling’er, but she lost the chance. She didn’t expect things to degenerate this fast. After thinking about it, she didn’t intend to stay here for too long either. The fight was about to start soon. At this critical time, she couldn’t be negligent, her focus must be on the main business.

In the morning, she received a letter from the Zen Master confirming that the secret book was indeed related to the Dragon Clan. He advised her to ignore this for now, he would investigate the whole thing as soon as possible.

“What’s wrong, you don’t seem happy.” Ye Chen gave a sideways glance at Cui Mengyan, who was packing off to the side.

Cui Mengyan said, “I’m afraid I’ve provoked public anger.”

“What do you mean?”

“I shouldn’t have said those things to you last night.”

“What happened to Ling’er?”

“Nothing. It’s just that I’m not well-liked. I understand all too well. I opened my big mouth and caused a fight.”

“We didn’t really fight.”

“I originally planned to repay you all well here. But now, I’m really not sure what to do.”

“You’re thinking about moving out?”

Meng Yan nodded.

“Oh, they’re not that bad.”

“I didn’t say they were bad, but I can understand.”

“Stop thinking about it. The next few days may be very busy. You, being alone in the courtyard, need to be careful. We don’t know if the monsters outside will break in. Anyway, be careful and don’t wander around aimlessly.” Ye Chen stood up.

“Are you going out?”

“Yes, I have to go to the city wall and check out the situation.”

“Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.” Ye Chen took two hot grilled sesame seed cakes and left.

When he arrived at the city wall, there were already some people there. Wei Sisan was at the top of the wall, he was also becoming restless as the battle was about to start. The last thing anyone could do now was to sit idle.

Kong Sha and his men were with Wei Sisan.

The horizon was hazed over with yellow sand.

The smoke was already rising from the opposite side, indicating that a force was steadily approaching.
