Chapter 309 - 309 297 Passing By Each Other

Chapter 309: Chapter 297: Passing By Each Other Chapter 309: Chapter 297: Passing By Each Other “But that’s just how it seems to us, many people say that if you keep going as you are, you won’t be far from becoming a monk. We don’t really want to see you like that,” Li Mo stated.

“You all really love to gossip, from your perspectives, I’m close to becoming a monk,” Ye Chen replied, chuckling lightly.

“Ah, seriously speaking, we all wish you could be happier, to swiftly move on from the events of Wasteland City. We know you loved Ling’er, but she’s gone, no longer with us and she won’t come back. You need to start your new life, don’t you? You can’t live in the past forever, you’re still so young, isn’t it too exhausting?”

Ye Chen fell silent upon hearing this, continuing to sip his tea, “Don’t worry, I don’t plan on becoming a monk,” he finally said.

“But you can’t keep bottling up your emotions. Looking around, there are plenty of beautiful female disciples in Immortal City this time. There should be many good matches.”

“You sure are carefree, with so much time to think about such stuff. Are you planning on getting married?”

A couple of his followers chuckled at this.

Ye Chen further probed, “If you’re interested in someone, tell me. I’ll help you break the ice.”

“Stop teasing me. They hardly know who I am, they know much more about you. You’re the cool one, everyone now knows that it was you, the Sect Leader, who foresaw the Dragon Slaying Clan’s ambush on the Heavenly City Sect and trapped them.”

“Ha, I really don’t care about all that. You guys should stop spreading it around.”

“How is this spreading rumors? This is reality,” Li Mo argued. “We have to let them know that we, the New City Sect, are no worse than those from the Demon Domain.”

“Stop comparing yourself to others, just do well at what you should be doing.”

“Right, the Sect Leader is correct.”

“Let’s eat and stop daydreaming. We’ll focus on revenge later.”

The streets became suddenly busier, not quieting down despite the approaching darkness.

Many disciples from the Demon Domain flocked in. Knowing they wouldn’t make it up the mountain in time, they decided to stay in Crane City for the night and continue their journey the next evening.

“Stop fussing over me, I’m fine,” Ye Chen stated.

“Well, I can only give advice. But I believe with your intelligence, you should be able to handle things.”

Suddenly, a stream of people came from the east, causing a stir among the local crowd. Many sects came up to greet them, taking Li Mo by surprise, he exclaimed, “Those are the people from the Demon Palace, aren’t they?”

“Yes, they are from the Demon Palace,” Ye Chen confirmed, recognizing the attire of the Demon Palace disciples.

“You know them?”

“That’s the uniform of the Demon Palace disciples.”

A woman in white attracted the attention of Li Mo and everyone around, including Ye Chen, who involuntarily admired, “She’s so beautiful.”

In the crowd, a woman in white stood out, shining like a beam of golden light, capturing everyone’s attention.

Ye Chen took another glance down at the woman and casually commented, “She’s not bad.”

“What do you mean by not bad? I heard that the woman who is to wed Su Zhanze is stunningly beautiful. Could it be her?”

At these words, Ye Chen took another look at the woman. Of course, he knew who Su Zhanze was going to marry, it was no secret. With the help of the lantern’s light, he clearly saw her face, the pristine and innocent face that had not changed much over the years. She was still as captivating as ever, standing out in a crowd, he said, “Yes, that’s her.”

Li Mo was even more surprised, managing to respond after a moment, “How do you know that she is Su Zhanze’s intended?”

Li Mo’s question caught Ye Chen off guard.

Ye Chen hesitated for a while before replying, “I guessed.”

“How is that possible? Such a thing can’t be guessed. You must know her.” Suddenly recalling something, he said, “Yes, you’ve been to the Immortal City Sect, you should know them.”

“You’re really interesting, always up to something,” Ye Chen did not feel like explaining.

“Did I guess right?” Li Mo asked in surprise.

Ye Chen took another look and said, “Indeed, she is very beautiful.”

“You like her?”

“Even if I do, what can I do? She’s not mine.”

Ye Chen chuckled, “At least you know that much.”

“So you really do know her?”

“You really talk a lot,” Ye Chen grinned.

“You’ve been friends for so long, why don’t you go and say hello?” As Li Mo spoke, he eyed Ye Chen, trying to gauge any reactions from his face.

Ye Chen continued drinking his tea. After all these years, she had probably forgotten everything. He was not a shameless person to dwell on the past, he should let go of it when he should.

Li Mo leaned out to get a better look, suddenly announcing, “They’ve entered the inn.”

Ye Chen quivered and also lent out. Those people were indeed headed to this inn.

“Nervous? You certainly know each other, and not typically so.”

“You’re trying to analyze me, aren’t you?” Ye Chen responded.

“No, just suddenly curious.”

“Don’t satisfy your curiosity at my expense. Pay more attention to yourself. When you go to Immortal City, see if there’s someone for you. I can’t help you find a wife,” Ye Chen explained.

“So you will take me with you?”

“Alright, I hope you would stop blabbering so much.”

“Great, I’ve always wanted to visit the Immortal City.”

Ye Chen retorted, “There’s nothing so spectacular about it.”

“Really? Even though I live in the Wastelands, I’ve heard rumors that disciples from the Central Plains, the realm of immortals and demons, dream of going to the Immortal City, but they never get the chance.”

“Hmm, keep dreaming. It’s not as great as you think. The higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment. Maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you go without any expectations.”

“Based on what you’ve said, it seems like you don’t hold a high regard for the Immortal City Sect. Did something unforgettable happen?”

This guy is trying to lure him into spilling more, so Ye Chen decided to play cool, “I’m not going to tell you.”

Just as they were talking, a group of girls already approached the second floor. To think they would choose this inn out of all the better ones in Crane City and even made their way up, Ye Chen genuinely didn’t want to bump into them.

Ye Chen suddenly grew a bit anxious. This time, he had a clearer view. Only a few girls from the Demon Palace came up to the second floor, not all the disciples.

Her face was still as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, indescribable by any words. Would she recognize me? This was Ye Chen’s first reaction. Many people were watching them, and he seemed to not want to get involved and pretended to drink his tea while looking away.

At this moment, Li Mo was flabbergasted, seemingly like he was about to drool.

After calling out to him a couple of times without any response, Ye Chen chuckled, “Hey, hey, your drool is about to drop.”

Only then did Li Mo quickly recoil.

“She really knows us already, let’s just go say hi.”

“Let’s go, we better leave.”

“Leaving so soon?”

“Or should I let you stay here and keep ogling?”

Li Mo dared not to retort.

Ye Chen spoke, “Stop acting as if you’ve never seen a woman before, you’re with me after all, try to maintain some restraint.”

“I’m not you, I can’t keep so calm. You’ve seen a lot of beautiful women, so of course you’re unfazed.”

“The more you drool over someone, the more they will take you for a pervert and ignore you. You see those guys, acting as if they’ve never seen a beauty before. Do you think they can get anyone’s attention?”

“Hehe, so what should I do?”

“Lighten up a bit. Don’t act like you’ve never seen a woman before.”

“But I just want to take a couple more glances. Isn’t observing beauty a form of enjoyment too?”

“Then, please continue to stare. I need to find a room to take a proper bath and then get some good rest.” Ye Chen hasn’t slept properly for several days, nor has he changed his clothes. He could smell an unpleasant odor from himself.

Li Mo quickly stood up, gathering his crew.

As Ye Chen was about to go downstairs, Guo Yuqing and Luo Rui just happened to be coming up. They passed by each other, as if in entirely different worlds.

However, Ye Chen knew that girl was the one he met five years ago, but he wasn’t sure if she remembered him. They seemed quite excited, talking amongst themselves.

Ye Chen barely missed bumping into Luo Rui. But with a swift move, he sidestepped, allowing them to walk by first.

Li Mo also followed him down, occasionally glancing back at the girls from time to time.

“Let’s go, stop staring.” Ye Chen called out. There seemed to be no necessity for greetings. Perhaps years would pass before they meet again. They haven’t been in contact for years. The greetings seemed redundant because they were no longer the naive children they used to be. What he experienced in five years was far beyond anyone’s expectations, who would have thought he would become the Sect Leader of the New City Sect, not to mention others.

What’s more important is that he had been having a tough time these days, always dreaming about Ling’er, dreaming that she’s still alive. All he had in his heart right now was Wei Yiling. Every extra glance at that girl felt like a guilty act, as if he was betraying Wei Yiling.

Luo Rui nudged the chattering Guo Yuqing, “Qing’er, doesn’t that guy we just passed by seem familiar?”

All Yu Qing saw was Ye Chen’s back, she laughed, “Girl, stop hallucinating every handsome guy as someone familiar. There will come a day when you’ll be deceived.” She continued to walk forward.

“I’m not that kind of person! Don’t make it seem like I’m infatuated with everyone, I’m not that crazy.”

“In my eyes, you look pretty infatuated to me.” Guo Yuqing retorted.

The two girls behind them chuckled.

Luo Rui continued to jog her memory, seemingly trying to picture the person in her mind.

Ye Chen and his crew swiftly descended the stairs. There were many disciples of the Demon Palace gathered in the hall on the first floor, creating a cacophony similar to a marketplace.

After much difficulty, they finally made their way through the crowd.

Yu Qing secured a seat and called out, “Serve the tea quickly.”

The waiter immediately nodded, “Coming right away.”

Another slap landed, “Still hallucinating, aren’t you?”

Luo Rui got startled, as if she suddenly remembered, “He looks a lot like Ye Chen.”

At her statement, Qing’er immediately sneezed, “You’re doing this on purpose, right?” She knew this girl loved to play jokes on her. “If Ye Chen had grown so much in the five years we haven’t seen each other, you wouldn’t recognize him.”

“Hey, I didn’t say it was definitely him. I just feel it resembles.”

“You…you’re intentionally teasing me!”

“I’m telling the truth!”
