Chapter 421: 407 Chapter 421: 407 Seeing Ye Chen lost in thought, Red Demonic Spirit asked: “What are you thinking about?”

“I dreamt of Wei Yiling last night.” Ye Chen replied.

“What’s the point of speaking of it now?”

“Could it be meaningless? But she has already been engraved in my memory.”

“Did you just realize her worth? Wasn’t Guo Yuqing the one etched into your memory?”

“I don’t know. I find it peculiar. Before, the chance I had didn’t seem significant, it didn’t feel necessary, but now how I wish she was by my side, even just for small talks, that would be nice.”

Red Demonic Spirit gave a cold laugh.

“Do you think I’m excessively absurd?”

“A little. It’s human nature to only truly regret something after losing it.”

“But I always feel like she’s by my side.”

“Is it her ghost?”

Ye Chen responded with a light chuckle.

“Stop thinking about it. The dead cannot be resurrected. It will only bring trouble.”

“I should have taken her away at that time.”

“Hehe, stop making if-cases. Such talks are nothing but nonsense, of no value. One can only respect reality, live in the present, and not think about anything else. No point in thinking about it. If you’re scared of regretting in the future, focus on making today count.”

“Yes, you’re right. After all, you’re my master. How could I disagree with you?”

“There are still many things awaiting your action.”

Gazing at pairs of deer appearing in the woods, he lamented, “Why do humans find pleasure in ceaseless killing? What do they gain from it?”

“You should ask your father that.” Red Demonic Spirit spoke, “Desire is a fascinating thing. It drives people forward and can also bring out their brutish, insatiable side. Whether it’s good or bad, it requires yardsticks to quantify.”

“If I could reason with him, I would have done it a long time ago.”

“Then what are you hesitating for?”

“I’m not hesitating.” Ye Chen replied.

“Indeed, you’re hesitating. You’re scared of betraying Yiling’s memory. They all died because of your father, but you’re uncertain whether or not to kill him.”

“I’m afraid that someone else will kill him before I have the chance.” Ye Chen sighed and added, “What’s the point in talking about this now? By that time, whether he kills us or we kill them, it’s all uncertain.”

Red Demonic Spirit gave a cold laugh, “Exactly, haven’t you already made a choice?”

Ye Chen fell silent.

“Moving on and starting a new relationship is the right thing to do.” advised the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Then I’m curious why you won’t start a new relationship and move on from Feng Niang’s incident?” Ye Chen understood what Red Demonic Spirit was implying.

“Are you trying to provoke me?”

“I am merely intending to draw a parallel to our situations.”

“It’s always the same. People seem to understand others’ situations perfectly but when it comes to their own issues, they become baffled.”

“Exactly.” Ye Chen nodded, then jokingly asked, “I wonder if Feng Niang has gotten married.”

“Aren’t you getting annoying?”

Ye Chen chuckled again.

“Why have we become individuals of loss? Should we find an opportunity for ourselves to share a drink?”

“Hehe, talk about that after you’ve sorted out your current problems.”

“Do you think we have a high chance of success this time?” Ye Chen still lacked confidence.

“It depends on whether you can prevent them from finding out, and whether you can be cruel when the time comes.”

“I’ve already become cold-blooded.”

“Perhaps for others, but not when it comes to your father.”

“Can we not talk about this? It’s too vexing.”

“For the sake of the Central Plains, you should completely stand on the side of justice.”

“Aren’t I completely on that side now?! I suppose the person my father most wants to kill now is me, for being such an unfilial son.”

Red Demonic Spirit mentioned, “Then what’s left for you to ponder?”

Ye Chen gazed at the sky, at the thickest fog.

The people below had already started with their busy preparations.

“When it’s time to be ruthless, you should be. You’re doing a decent job right now but you lack a bit of ruthless determination.”

“If I were you, would you have the heart to kill!”

“The more you think about Wei Yiling and Wei Sisan, who were burnt to death, and those dead in the city, the less hesitation you’ll have.”

Ye Chen went silent.

The people below began to call out, “It’s time for us to set off.”

“You’re still hesitating at this point, isn’t that a bit too indecisive?” remarked Red Demonic Spirit.

“Yes, I am indecisive. I was born an indecisive individual, happy now?”

“Don’t let more people end up like Wei Yiling. You’ll regret it again if your father succeeds. It won’t just be Wei Yiling who burns to death, but also Guo Yuqing.”

Ye Chen closed his eyes, stood up.

“If you aren’t ruthless towards your enemies, then you’re being ruthless to yourself.” Red Demonic Spirit pointed out.

“Thank you for your teaching, I will keep this in mind.” Ye Chen responded.

“You’re welcome.”

Ye Chen walked towards the crowd below.

The leadership was mainly taken care of by Guo Mingyu, Qiao Fanfeng, and Jiang Zhuge.

Li Mo came over and asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Only now you are asking me if I have eaten.” Ye Chen replied coldly.

“Didn’t Yu Yun take care of you?”

Ye Chen felt something amiss and said, “Did you all conspire to let Yu Yun take care of me? No wonder she’s been clinging to me like a female ghost these past few days.”

“Isn’t it to help you two foster feelings?”

“You are really amusing. This must be your idea.” Ye Chen made a judgement.

“No, absolutely not my idea.”

“Only you could be idling around.”

“Isn’t that girl good?”

“Haha, what benefits has she given you that you’re speaking up for her?”

“Absolutely none. I just don’t want you to feel lonely.”

“Thanks for your concern. Use your energy on the right things and stop worrying about me.”

“We’re all worried about you.”

Ye Chen chuckled coldly and said, “You are not proposing any ideas about the main issues, but only causing me more trouble.”

“Really?”

“Even her father is thinking of offering her to me.”

“That indicates you are extremely outstanding.”

“Do I need you to point out? That’s not what I’m talking about. You better not cause me trouble; if you do, I will not let you off, believe it or not.”

Li Mo stayed silent.

“Hurry up, go and do your own things. Stop messing with me here.”

Li Mo left.

The people in front started moving, taking advantage of the lingering mist. The noon weather would be hotter, so it’s better to travel as much distance as possible now.

Still in two groups, they moved in criss-cross patterns, to confuse the Dragon Slaying Clan. They headed towards Fish Scale Valley.

Yu Yun came over again, Ye Chen wanted to avoid her, but he was stopped by a sentence: “Where can you escape to?”

Ye Chen then stopped. She was right, where else could he escape to? Could he evade her?

“Do you really want to avoid me?” Yu Yun asked.

“I’m scared of you.” Ye Chen said.

“I wouldn’t eat you or anything, why are you afraid?”

“Do you need something?”

“Do you think we can evade the Dragon Slaying Clan this way?” Yu Yun started to have doubts.

“Do you have any insight?”

“We have to find a way, do something to make them unaware of our intentions.”

“Then what do you propose, how should we elude?” Ye Chen asked.

“Anyway, wandering around like this will not yield any results. Even if we reached Fish Scale Valley, we could not escape the Dragon Slaying Clan. How would we cross over then?”

She was unaware of what Ye Chen discussed with Guo Mingyu last night.

Ye Chen gave a faint smile.

“Why are you smiling? My brain might not be as good as yours, but I can see this. You have to come up with a solution.”

“Can you tell me how to get you stop pestering me?”

“There’s a solution. If we get married, I will stop bothering you.” Yu Yun said.

“Haha, you are really not shy, casually proposing to marry. Are you scared that I might be a scoundrel and torment you?” Ye Chen lifted his head and walked forward.

“Who will torment whom, it’s still uncertain.”

“Stop dreaming. To me, you’re just a girl, I have absolutely no interest or urges. Even if all women in the world were extinct and only you remained, I would not be interested.”

“Can you not be so hurtful?” There was some anger on her face.

“There’s still more to come.” Ye Chen said.

“That’s too horrid.”

“Indeed, I am a man with no breeding. You should realize this sooner. It would be beneficial for you, and save you from regretting later.”

Yu Yun said, “I don’t want to talk about this, I just want to ask you, how do you plan to lead us across, how should we evade the Dragon Slaying Clan, and retreat safely?”

“I heard my father is particularly fond of young girls, especially those with some charm. We plan to offer you.” Ye Chen deliberately said.

“Do you feel happy spouting these useless nonsense?”

“Yes, all these are useless crap. Satisfied now?” Ye Chen said.

“It feels like you’re a lot more relaxed this morning. Have you already thought of a solution?” Guo Yuyun guessed.

“Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? Use you to achieve peace. In history, many princesses were sent away like this.”

“Can you say something useful?”

Ye Chen continued forward, “If you want to know, ask your father. Isn’t that simple?”

They entered the woods, where it was a bit stifling. Jiang Zhuge, who was behind, caught up and said, “The Dragon Slaying Clan has quickened their pace. They probably deduce we are heading to Fish Scale Valley.”

“Don’t let them get ahead of us.” Ye Chen didn’t want them to get there so quickly.

Jiang Zhuge nodded.

Ye Chen added, “Considering the Dragon Slaying Clan might want to ally with the Demonic Spirit Realm, they could try to confront us here. We must go to Fish Scale Valley.”

Jiang Zhuge quickly set off.

Yu Yun, however, did not hear about any of Ye Chen’s strategy to evade the Dragon Slaying Clan, only to prevent them from getting ahead.
