Chapter 261 - 261 249 What Keeps One Awake

Chapter 261: Chapter 249: What Keeps One Awake Chapter 261: Chapter 249: What Keeps One Awake Only Ye Chen and Mu Wanlan were left.

Ye Chen glanced at Wanlan and asked, “What’s going on, it seems like you know something?”

Wanlan, however, grew serious and threw out a line: “I don’t know anything.”

“How is that possible, you must know something,” Ye Chen said.

Wanlan ignored him and also left, leaving Ye Chen alone in the courtyard. He hadn’t filled up yet and continued munching.

The Zen Master summoned Shen Tian, Jue Ming, Yang Jing, and others. It would soon be time to fight, and he needed to share his plans with them. After all, they had already been fighting for a day, and he needed to explain his strategy.

The Zen Master said, “Just because we don’t know the situation inside Wasteland City, doesn’t mean we can’t find their weak spot. My plan is to kill plenty, observe their distribution, identify their weak point, and then breach the city with full force.”

“Did we find their weak spot yet?” Yang Jing asked.

The Zen Master replied, “Wei Sisan really is more formidable than I thought. We haven’t found a weak point just yet. However, I am persistent to keep the pressure on today. We must put more pressure on them than we did yesterday. Only then can we identify their weak spot.”

“But yesterday, we practically put all our forces in there. It didn’t seem like we had a significant advantage, especially since they’re in the city and we’re out here. They have a lot of traps helping them—it clearly gives them an edge.”

“Not to worry, you guys just surge in there. I’ll find a way,” the Zen Master said. “Everyone wants to end this quickly and march into Wasteland City. I also watched all of yesterday, they seem to be giving everything they’ve got. By exerting more pressure, we should be able to find their weak point. You guys give it one more push, I’ll quickly identify their weakness, aiming to breach the city as soon as possible.”

Yang Jing glanced at Er Gui beside him. The Zen Master seemed quite confident, even more so than yesterday.

The Zen Master was indeed more confident than yesterday. After a day of fighting, he’d created a map of the city’s interior from his observations and was clear about its strengths and weaknesses, the arrangement of New City Sect, and its level. This would make it easier for him to control the situation today, all he needed was to find a weakness.

“Alright everyone, get ready. We’re going to seize the city.”

Following Yang Jing, Er Gui asked, “Boss, do you think the Zen Master can quickly find a weakness?”

“I don’t know, but he seems prepared. Let’s just wait and see.”

By the time Ye Chen arrived, Wei Sisan had already gathered people. He prepared himself and said, “There’s not much to say. One word: HOLD! Today will definitely be harder than yesterday. I don’t know how the Zen Master plans to attack the city today, but everyone, don’t get complacent.”

Wei Sisan didn’t tell everyone his plan. His goal today was simple—after the Zen Master applied pressure, lure him in by showing a vulnerable spot. And the person to execute this plan has been decided.

“Last night, didn’t Ye Chen suggest that we should create a false vulnerability?” Li Mo asked.

“Right, indeed. We plan on doing that. However, this false vulnerability should also look authentic. If we present a fake flaw right at the start, they are sure to be suspicious. This vulnerability should only appear after they’ve put enough pressure on us, to make it more believable.”

Wei Sisan added, “With regard to the vulnerability, I am well prepared. You don’t have to worry. Just remember not to be complacent. Even though I firmly believe that the Zen Master won’t go all out in attacking the city today, we should be ready for that scenario.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“The Zen Master might step up to the plate today, it’s surely going to be harder than yesterday. Prepare yourselves mentally and stay alert. Whether we can defeat them or not depends on our performance today,” Wei Sisan declared.

Ye Chen leaned towards Ling’er next to him and deliberately said, “Wanlan told me everything.”

Ling’er paused and asked, “Told you what?”

“Told me about your feelings.”

Ling’er clenched her fists, puffing her cheeks.

“I didn’t expect you to become like this. I really didn’t.” Ye Chen deliberately said this while eating his Grilled Sesame Seed Cake.

Ling’er sat on the top of the wall, gazing at the people outside the city walls who were shrouded in fog.

Wei Sisan continued, “Everyone, we mustn’t be complacent! Only united efforts can lead us to victory in this battle and repel them.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “Sect Leader, your health isn’t good. You should sit out the battle today.”

“No, I must go today.”

Kong Sha seemed worried.

“No problem, I know myself.”

Wei Sisan further said, “Alright, I believe that if we unite, we can definitely repel them. But we must work together.”

Ye Chen was holding another Grilled Sesame Seed Cake in his other hand. Ling’er seeing him eat so contentedly, felt her stomach rumble. She snatched the cake from his hand. She hadn’t eaten much this morning, as she had to leave in a hurry because of Ye Chen’s remarks.

“Hey, that’s my Grilled Sesame Seed Cake!” Ye Chen yelled.

“I know! I’ll return it to you later,” Ling’er said, not caring that it had bite marks.

Ye Chen asked, “Are you afraid that someone else will snatch me away?”

“Who’s afraid of you being snatched? Don’t flatter yourself.”

“Still denying.”

“Don’t flatter yourself, okay?”

“If that’s the case, I think I’ll go after Cui Mengyan.”

Ling’er feigned laughter and said, “Go ahead. Just watch out for her trap, or you’ll end up half-paralyzed.”

“You said it, don’t get all sulky later.”

“Who’s sulky.” Ling’er said defiantly.

“Ah, why are you so stubborn?”

Ling’er continued eating her warm Grilled Sesame Seed Cake, not caring if she was being unladylike.

“Take it slow, no one’s going to steal it from you.” The two of them hid behind the crowd.

Ye Chen added, “It seems that Meng Yan showed up just in time. If she hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have known so many of your secrets.”

Ling’er continued eating, pretending not to hear, and guzzled down half a bag of water.

Wei Sisan on the other side suddenly called out, “Ye Chen, come here.” The people around had already scattered, each going about their own preparations.

Ye Chen didn’t hear Wei Sisan the first time. It was only after he called again that Ye Chen finally heard him.

Ling’er nudged Ye Chen, and it was only then that he abruptly realized someone was calling him.

Wei Sisan glanced at Ye Chen and said, “It seems you two are getting along well.”

Ye Chen glanced back at Ling’er and said, “Of course, you’ve already had people hiding in our courtyard, watching everything, so you know it all. There’s no need to ask.”

Jiang Zhuge chuckled after hearing this.

“All right, as long as things are going well,” Wei Sisan said.

“Is there something you need to ask?” Ye Chen replied.

“Still daydreaming, huh? You didn’t hear a word I just said, did you?”

“It didn’t really seem that important. There isn’t a lot of difference between hearing it and not hearing it.”

“That idea of yours last night was good. It truly helped me solve a problem; you’re a clever one.”

“Well, that’s no surprise. I don’t need your praise to know that I’m smart.”

“Be a little more humble,” Wei Sisan said coldly.

“My skills are clear for all to see. There’s no need for false humility.”

“Don’t get too pleased with yourself too early.”

“You’re seriously considering using my method to deal with the Zen Master? Last night, I was simply talking off the top of my head; you don’t need to take it seriously.”

Wei Sisan scoffed, saying, “Why don’t you try to fend off their attack today before you start bragging.”

“How do you think they’ll attack, Sect Leader?”

“It will surely be some underhanded trick; they’ll try everything possible.”

“They’re not going to release those ghost-like things from yesterday, right?”

“Ha, that was just the beginning. Do you really think it’s easy being a Sect Leader?”

“I never thought it was easy. And I never planned on being a Sect Leader,” Ye Chen said.

“Don’t say that. I was actually considering giving you the position of Sect Leader after defeating the Zen Master.”

“Don’t get my hopes up. I’m not going to believe your words again. The first time I saved you, you told me you wanted me to be the Sect Leader. You’re still saying the same thing. Even if I’m easily fooled, after being tricked a few times, the excitement wears off. I won’t fall for it anymore.”

Jiang Zhuge chuckled after hearing this.

“Ha, you claim you don’t want to be the Sect Leader, but it seems you don’t really mean that.”

“Hey, I’m aware of my capabilities and know what I’m capable of. If I can be the Sect Leader, then so be it. If not, then let it be. It doesn’t matter to me.”

“Oh, don’t give up so easily.”

“I’d rather be straightforward. If I can be a Sect Leader, I’ll do it once. If I can’t, then it’s just a dream. I won’t let myself get too happy or too sad. It’s not a big burden,” he said.

Jiang Zhuge agreed: “That’s a truthful statement.”

“Anyway, talking about important matters, if we can hold them off today, your plan might succeed,” Wei Sisan declared.

Ling’er walked over, asking, “What plan?”

Ye Chen dismissed her with a sentence, “Kid, keep eating and don’t meddle in the adults’ business.”

A kick came fiercely.

Jiang Zhuge said, “Sect Leader, you should feel reassured now.”

Feeling there was something more to his words, Ye Chen hurriedly responded, “Hey, don’t say that, what reassurance? I haven’t agreed to it yet. Don’t think you can lure me with a two-for-one deal. I don’t want this burden.”

A slap came flying over from Ling’er.

“See, if I were with her, my life would be tough,” Ye Chen said.

“Stop, listen. Today, if I’m not mistaken, the Zen Master will definitely show up,” Wei Sisan declared.

“Wow, such a formidable person, I won’t be able to handle him.”

“Retreating even before the enemy has shown up.”

“I’m not backing down; I’m just telling the truth. I know my capabilities”, Ye Chen added: “Then there’s Shen Tian.”

“I’ll handle Shen Tian.”

Jiang Zhuge was surprised, “Sect Leader, this Shen Tian’s martial arts skills are highly superior.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve thought of a formation. It should be able to restrain him,” Wei Sisan, who had seen Shen Tian’s martial arts the day before, figured he could manage it.

“I don’t even know how skilled this Zen Master really is,” Ye Chen said.

“I trust you.”

“What do you mean by ‘trust’? If I lose my life, it’s my loss.”
