Chapter 278 - 278 266 Wei Yiling Was Stabbed

Chapter 278: Chapter 266: Wei Yiling Was Stabbed Chapter 278: Chapter 266: Wei Yiling Was Stabbed Ye Chen rushed over, but Ling’er was already being held hostage by Cui Mengyan, who was moving towards the bridge.

The disciples of the New City Sect didn’t dare to approach.

The knife swung around Ling’er’s neck, just as if it was a special trick.

Seeing Ye Chen approaching, Ling’er quickly yelled for help, but she pondered why she was the one being threatened.

Ye Chen looked at Meng Yan and said, “Hey, let’s not do this. If you kill her, you won’t escape from Wasteland City. How about this, let her go, and I’ll have someone escort you out of the city, what do you say?”

More and more disciples from the New City were gathering.

Cui Mengyan smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, “You’re scared, aren’t you?”

“Not scared exactly, after all, she and I are unrelated. We aren’t even married yet.”

Meng Yan seemed to have thought of a way to deal with him. She said, “Give me the Jade Ring.”

Unexpectedly, she was still eyeing the Jade Ring. He quipped, “You mean the Jade Ring I’m wearing?”

“Yes, that Jade Ring. It was never yours to begin with.”

“It is mine, left to me by my father.”

“Are you giving it to me? If not, I’ll kill her. Do you believe me?”

“If you kill her, you truly won’t escape. Her father will skin you alive.” Ye Chen appeared somewhat unwilling.

“Heh, you don’t need to worry about that.” Meng Yan shouted, “Hurry up and give me the Jade Ring, or else I’ll let some blood flow.” She had noticed the power of the Jade Ring during Ye Chen’s fight with the Zen Master. If she could obtain the Jade Ring, her trip to the city wouldn’t have been futile.

“Alright, these are all material possessions, it’s just a Jade Ring after all. It’s a pity though, if you had waited two months, I would’ve gladly given it to you.” Ye Chen felt some regret. He had just discovered a secret about the Jade Ring and now he had to hand it over.

Ling’er knew how important the Jade Ring was to Ye Chen. It was the only thing his father had left him, and she was aware of its power. She cried out, “Don’t give it to her.”

“Little girl, are you done living? I’ll make a few slashes on your face, turn you into a monster, and have you become a nun for life. Do you believe me?” Cui Mengyan was getting agitated.

Ye Chen grew anxious, shouting, “Stop, I’ll give it to you!” He had already taken off the Jade Ring. He didn’t want any harm to come to her. These were all material possessions, but if her face was scarred, her father would force him to marry her.

Ling’er became somewhat anxious.

“It’s just a piece of jade. If it makes you happy, take it.” Ye Chen said, “If I give it to you, you’ll let her go, right? You have to keep your word.”

“Enough chit-chat, hurry up and throw it over.” At this point, Meng Xiuluo was getting impatient. More and more disciples from the New City Sect were arriving, and if this went on, even if she got the jade, she would still be caught.

Ye Chen flung the Jade Ring in her direction.

In that one instant, Meng Yan reached out to catch the Jade Ring, her attention completely focused on it. Ling’er seized the moment when Meng Yan’s attention was elsewhere. With the knife now loose, she slammed her head back into Meng Yan’s chin and pushed her away, freeing herself. Meng Yan staggered a bit, her attempt to catch the Jade Ring foiled. Instead, Ling’er grabbed the Jade Ring back.

“Are you crazy?” Meng Yan aimed a stab at her, hitting her abdomen. Ling’er fell to the ground. Cui Mengyan tried to snatch the Jade Ring, but a palm came flying from Ye Chen, several streams of energy shot out as if throwing darts. She quickly avoided the attack, and it was too late for her to get Ling’er back. Ye Chen had already arrived, forcing Cui Mengyan back. The other disciples of the New City Sect were also pushing onto the bridge.

Xiang Yi urgently pulled Meng Yan back, and they jumped off the bridge into the river.

Ye Chen rushed over and, without thinking, held Ling’er. The knife had penetrated her abdomen, and blood was gushing out.

Jiang Zhuge rushed over and said, “Quickly take her back!”

Ye Chen was frantic. He immediately lifted Ling’er and ran towards the New City Sect, not minding anything else. This girl was really reckless, causing him to worry about her getting killed.

Her hand tightly gripped the Jade Ring, saying, “Your Jade Ring, the only Jade Ring left by your father.”

“You’re going crazy. Your life is more important than that Jade Ring, do you understand that!” She was truly a foolish girl. Why was she so unafraid of death? Just because his father had left him the Jade Ring? This really moved him a bit!

Ling’er shrunk in his arms while Ye Chen sprinted, exclaiming, “Don’t speak, rest assured, nothing will happen.”

Despite his annoyance, Ye Chen was quite anxious.

They soon arrived back at the courtyard. The knife was still embedded in her abdomen.

Wan Lan rushed in asking, “What happened?” Seeing the knife still lodged in her, she was taken aback and exclaimed in fright.

“Quickly get the doctor.” Ye Chen laid Ling’er by the bed.

Ling’er had passed out at this point. Fresh blood continued dripping down, her face pale.

Soon, several doctors, along with Wei Sisan, arrived.

Ye Chen stepped out of Ling’er’s room.

On seeing Wei Sisan, he quickly explained what had happened.

Kong Sha said, “We had no idea the Zen Master’s men had infiltrated us too.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “Yes, we were too careless.”

Wei Sisan gathered everyone, waiting for the doctor’s diagnosis.

Ye Chen took a seat.

Wan Lan asked, “How did you find out the girl was trying to poison you?”

“Ugh, don’t mention it.” He wasn’t in the mood to discuss this. He was more worried about Ling’er inside, feeling quite anxious.

At this point, Jiang Zhuge had returned.

Kong Sha asked, “Have they been caught?”

“We caught three, but the rest escaped. They were excellent swimmers, and the mastermind got away too.” Jiang Zhuge reported.

Kong Sha said, “Of course they are skilled in water. They all come from the sea, how could they not be good at it!”

Ye Chen hastily sipped his tea, attempting to calm himself down.

Wei Sisan asked, “How did this girl end up in your courtyard?”

Ye Chen replied, “One evening, I was walking down the street with Ling’er when we ran into her. She was being pursued by the men from Dugu Manor, they wanted to capture her, so we saved her.”

After hearing this, Wan Lan said, “That was all a lie, a staged performance.”

“How did you know it was all staged? When did you find out?” asked Wei Sisan.

Mu Wanlan replied, “We were always suspicious of that girl because her actions were extremely strange, but we never found any evidence. Because Wasteland City was under attack by the Zen Master, we didn’t have the time to look into this matter. Early this morning, Ling’er finally had time to confront Young Master Dugu about the situation.”

“As expected, Young Master Dugu admitted that it was all that girl’s doing. She had bribed them with silver and staged the whole thing. Ling’er brought Young Master Dugu back to confront Meng Yan, but who would have guessed that Ye Chen and Meng Yan had already left.”

Ye Chen said, “It’s my fault. I wasn’t cautious enough. Ling’er warned me, but I didn’t listen to her.”

“She invited you out and poisoned you?” Wei Sisan questioned.

“Yes.”

“How did you find out?”

“Coincidentally, I had been to that little tavern a few days before, I recognized the boss. When I saw that it had been replaced by someone else, it aroused my suspicion.”

“You were too careless.”

Kong Sha said, “Who would have thought they’d devise such a despicable scheme to kill Ye Chen.”

“Besides wanting to kill me, their main target was my Jade Ring. I never thought that Ling’er would risk her life to snatch the Jade Ring back.” Ye Chen pressed his own head, appearing extremely reluctant. He really didn’t want these things to happen.

About two hours passed, and the maids who had been bringing water in and out had already changed the water basin several times.

At this moment, a divine doctor came out from inside, and Ye Chen hastily stood up.

Wei Sisan asked, “How is the situation?”

“The knife was not poisoned. They brought her in just in time. Had the knife gone half an inch deeper, it would have hit her lung and it would have been disastrous. The bleeding has stopped and her life is no longer in danger.”

“Are there any after-effects?” Ye Chen asked.

“It’s too early to tell. However, it will take some time for her to awaken. Don’t worry, if anything happens, please let me know, I will come as soon as possible.” The divine doctor said.

Wei Sisan quickly thanked the divine doctor. After the divine doctor gave a prescription, he left.

“Please inform me in a timely manner if anything happens.”

Ye Chen broke out in a cold sweat, finally feeling a sense of relief.

Wei Sisan also breathed a sigh of relief. He and Ye Chen went inside. Ling’er’s face was still pale. After shedding so much blood, it was already fortunate that they could save her life. The treated wound had been wrapped up, covered with clothes, so there were no signs of any injury. She was lying there as if she was sleeping.

Wei Sisan said, “Wan Lan, take care of Ling’er. If anything happens, inform me immediately.”

Wan Lan nodded in response.

Not long after, Wei Sisan stepped out.

Ye Chen also followed him out.

Wei Sisan said, “Ye Chen, be careful. It is likely that outsiders are aware of the situation inside Wasteland City. Don’t wander around unnecessarily.” He was still worried about the assassination attempts by the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Ye Chen heard someone say that Sky Domain City had attacked Tianle City and asked, “Did something happen?”

Wei Sisan replied, “Last night, the people from Sky Domain Sect attacked Tianle City.”

“Did the people from Sky Domain Sect take over Tianle City?”

“Not yet, at least for now.”

“Is there a chance they could take it over?”

“The current Zen Master has already taken his men back. I think it would be somewhat difficult. I am also waiting for news from that side.” Wei Sisan said.

Ye Chen nodded.

“Alright, stay in the courtyard.” Wei Sisan quickly left with Jiang Zhuge and others.

Ye Chen felt a bit depressed, but he was also relieved.

“How did it end up with a knife wound.” Wan Lan was slightly indignant. Originally scared that the guy might end up in trouble, it turned out that it was Ling’er who got hurt instead. She couldn’t accept it and said, “How could that knife not end up in your body instead?”

“What’s with your vengeance? You won’t be satisfied until I’m hurt too, right?” Ye Chen said.

“Of course it should stab you, otherwise how would you learn your lesson? We kept telling you that there’s something wrong with that girl, but you wouldn’t believe it, and kept sticking around. She just had to bat her eyes at you and you’d be completely fooled.”

“I wasn’t completely fooled, alright.” Ye Chen said.

“You really should’ve been stabbed a few times. Otherwise, you won’t wake up. Next time, who knows whose beauty trap you might fall into.”

“No, I’m not that stupid, really.”

“Not that stupid? You were sure we were just making a fuss. If not for you, we would have exposed her identity a long time ago. Why would we have had to wait until now?”

“Yes, I should not have behaved that way. Will an apology make it better?” He felt somewhat guilty. If it weren’t for him, Ling’er would have never been stabbed.

“Will an apology erase the station wound on Ling’er?”
