Chapter 359 - 359 346 Those words no longer have meaning

Chapter 359: Chapter 346: Those words no longer have meaning Chapter 359: Chapter 346: Those words no longer have meaning After the arrangements made by Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu.

Qiao Fanfeng turned around and asked, “Ye Chen, do you have any good suggestions?”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “We just arrived tonight and we are still not aware of the specific situation.”

“No, even though you just arrived, you are very familiar with the Dragon Slaying Clan and you always manage to anticipate their actions.”

“Don’t say it like that, I am just guessing blindly, without any substantiating evidence, and acting without any specific plan,” Ye Chen said.

“That is certainly not blind guessing.”

Ye Chen got up, smiled and said, “If there’s nothing else, I will leave first. If there are any assignments, you can directly tell Jiang Zhuge about them.”

Jiang Zhuge got up and exchanged greetings with Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu.

Ye Chen left.

Guo Yuqing and Jiang Shizi, along with a group of girls and several experienced physicians were at the front, treating the injured without having a proper meal. Until now, they had managed to treat all the injured.

“Okay, we’ve handled everything,” declared Jiang Shizi.

Her white dress had been dyed the color of plum blossoms with blood.

The surroundings had quietened down, and the night became even quieter. Some guards were wandering around to prevent the demons from the Dragon Slaying Clan from secretly infiltrating.

Yu Qing gulped down water twice to refresh herself and also washed her face with some water.

“Let’s go, we’ve finished with our tasks.”

They were about to return.

Yu Qing glanced around, making sure there were no untreated injured people before preparing to leave.

Then she noticed a familiar figure on the city wall, sitting there like a statue. He seemed to glance her way, and then, embarrassed, he turned back.

Yu Qing stopped.

“What’s the matter?” asked Shizi.

“Why is this guy not sleeping!” Guo Yuqing wondered aloud.

Jiang Shizi looked towards the city wall where Yuqing’s gaze had been fixed earlier.

“Maybe he is thinking about something,” Jiang Shizi went on. “Let’s go, or Zhan Ze will be worried and come looking for you.”

Qing’er said, “You go first, I’ll come back in a bit.” She still seemed somewhat worried.

“Okay, be careful.”

Yuqing waved her hand and walked towards the city wall.

From the city wall, Ye Chen had been watching her for a while. She had always been busy, and he didn’t want to interrupt her.

“Still not sleepy?” Yuqing asked. The wind on the city wall was strong, except for a few disciples guarding the city wall.

Ye Chen turned his head and muttered, “Mhm.”

“You must be worried about Sect Leader Su. But there’s no need to worry. He is just seriously injured and not in any life-threatening danger. As long as he is taken care of, he will soon recover from his injuries.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen responded with a faint smile.

Yuqing had already come up and asked again, “Don’t tell me you are drinking alcohol. This is not the time to drink.” She smelt alcohol.

Ye Chen quickly covered his flask.

Seeing the somewhat troubled expression on Ye Chen’s face, Yuqing felt he had a lot on his mind and asked, “Is there something bothering you?” She had now gone to stand opposite Ye Chen and had also sat on the city wall. The place was rather dark and only illuminated by a few faint lights.

Ye Chen glanced at Yuqing first and then said, “Actually, I have been living under a misunderstanding, and for many years.”

“What misunderstanding?” Yuqing asked.

“Su Hong is actually not my father.”

“Not?”

“My real father is right opposite.”

“Opposite? What do you mean?” Yuqing was somewhat confused.

“The Mutant Winged Dragon is my biological father.”

“What?” Yuqing was stunned, and took a moment to react.

“I was as shocked as you are when I found out.”

“Who told you?”

“The Mutant Winged Dragon.” Ye Chen continued, “Later, I went to confirm it from Su Hong, who verified it.”

“What exactly is happening? Wasn’t it said that you are Su Hong’s son?”

“My mother, the Mutant Winged Dragon, and Su Hong were like siblings. Su Hong also liked my mother, but my mother married the Mutant Winged Dragon. Later, the Mutant Winged Dragon took the path of revenge for the Dragon Slaying Clan.

The Mutant Winged Dragon failed and left the Central Plains, but my mother did not want me to be influenced by my father, after all, he killed a lot of celestial and demonic beings. So, she didn’t tell me the truth.”

Ye Chen continued, “The reason Su Hong didn’t admit that day was also because there was a reason for it. If he admitted that I was the Mutant Winged Dragon’s son, many people probably wouldn’t have let me go. So he kept silent, and everyone, like me, mistakenly thought he was my biological father.”

“How could such a thing happen?”

“Indeed, so when I learned the truth, I was just as shocked as you. But I believe it must all be true. This Jade Ring was actually stolen by my mother. It was from the Dragon Slayer Sword. It was only with this Jade Ring that I could train my martial arts.”

“So what will you do now?”

Ye Chen gave a dry laugh and said, “What else can I do now!”

“Your father won’t want you to join him in his quest for revenge, will he?” Yu Qing gazes into Ye Chen’s eyes, “I believe you should know what kind of man your father is, and what truly constitutes righteousness.”

“I so wish I didn’t have to grow up. Growing up, troubles seem to follow.”

Yu Qing chuckles at this, saying, “Unfortunately, it’s not entirely up to you.”

“Indeed,” Ye Chen responds with a cold smile.

“You must have made your decision. You don’t know how you’ll face your father in the future when you can’t even make yourself strike a ruthless blow.”

Ye Chen gives another cold smile.

“Why overthink? Just act according to your heart. Isn’t that enough! Even though you cannot change your birth, you can act upon your heart’s desire. Do what’s right.”

Yu Qing continues, “I, too, know a bit about the Dragon Slaying Clan and the Demon Domain affairs. I don’t know what kind of crisis it was back then, but no matter, what’s done is done. Even if the Demon Domain was in the wrong, it’s all in the past now.”

“Are you willing to wipe out both realms for past incidents? How many people will perish? Is your father using this as a pretext to control the entire world?”

Ye Chen silently looks at Yu Qing.

“You’ve experienced first-hand the cruelty of your father in Wasteland City. Have you ever considered what would happen if the entire world fell into his hands? Do you still seek revenge for the people who died in Wasteland City? Not to mention the one you love.”

Ye Chen takes another sip of his wine.

“I know it’s tough for you, yet you must confront it. Many people are waiting for you to save them,” Yu Qing continues, “Stop drinking. You should find someone to share your burden, not rely on alcohol.”

“I wish I could, but not everything goes as I want,” Ye Chen replies with a wry smile.

“You should forget about the girl from the Wastelands. It’s time for a fresh start.”

“I’m not in the mood to discuss this now.”

“But you have the ability to.”

Ye Chen smiles and asks, “Have you been well these past years?”

“I guess!”

“Your marriage to Zhan Ze wasn’t forced by your stepmother, was it?” Ye Chen asks, half-joking.

“What do you think?”

“I hope not!” Ye Chen continues, “Don’t tell me you were really forced!”

“Whether forced or not, isn’t it a bit too late to discuss now?”

Ye Chen take a glance at her.

She continues, “Sometimes, we can’t have everything our way. Even an emperor can’t. At times, we have to return to reality. Just like you, we can’t always control our own fate.”

“From your tone, it sounds like you were truly forced. Talk about losing control of your own life.”

“Not at all, it’s just choosing someone who is relatively good is also fine. As long as both of us are fine, and he treats me well.”

“Sounds a bit like taming.”

“It’s not as serious as that. If everyone is happy, what could be wrong with that.”

“Hmm, Sounds like you accept everything.”

“Considering everything, I couldn’t find anyone better. So, I’m settling and living my life. It’s not too bad.”

“Then I hope your life will be happy and cheerful.”

“It will be. The same goes for you. You should no longer obsess over the girl from Wasteland City. It’s time to start a new life.”

“I haven’t planned that far. I’m still young.”

“But it seems my younger sister is quite fond of you.”

“Your sister just loves to have fun. She’s just looking for excitement right now, unable to find something more entertaining. But I trust that after a few days, she’ll soon tire of me.”

Yu Qing laughs and retorts, “That might not be the case. I have never seen her that into a boy before.”

“Don’t scare me. If that’s true, I must distance myself from her.”

“What do you mean? Is it because of me?” Yu Qing continues, “You’re not the type to be bothered by such things.”

Ye Chen gives a faint smile in response.

“I never imagined that, in the blink of an eye, we’ve grown up. Everything’s in the past.”

“Indeed, just like that… I never expected I’d return here,” Ye Chen, intrigued, asks, “If I had returned half a year earlier and bumped into you, would you have married Zhan Ze? But now, the question is rather pointless.”

Yu Qing looks at him, shaking her head, “I don’t know.”

Ye Chen merely nods his head.

“Everything happened too quickly. It seems there was barely any buffer for us to transition from our childhood. We’re grownups now.”

“Yes, we are.”

“Nonetheless, I believe you’ll make something of yourself.”

“Heh, I just got lucky. If I hadn’t learned martial arts, I’d probably still be working on a farm in some rural area.”

“I can’t deny that luck played some part, but it wasn’t all luck.”

Yu Qing pats Ye Chen’s shoulder, saying, “Stop overthinking. You’ve always had a strong sense of judgment. Do not let unproductive thoughts add to your worries, follow your heart.”

“Does that mean you follow your own heart?”

“Somewhat, but I believe you can,” Yu Qing replies.
