Chapter 447 - 447 433 Where is the Way

Chapter 447: Chapter 433: Where is the Way Chapter 447: Chapter 433: Where is the Way Guo Mingyu went on, “Although it will take some time for the Dragon Slaying Clan to reach the outskirts of Demon Palace City, we don’t have much time left.”

Ye Chen replied, “I will make the best use of time and study it thoroughly.”

“I think you should leave the matters here to Yun’er. I will send a few more people to help her with finding the clues to the Dragon Slayer Sword. Meanwhile, you must focus on studying the Dragon Slaying Array.”

“Understood, don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”

“I know, you are a dependable young man.”

“I’m afraid I’m not as dependable as you say. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given the Jade Ring and drawn the Immortal-Demon realm into such a predicament.”

“That’s because you wanted to save Yu Yun.”

Ye Chen gave a light laugh.

“Alright, tomorrow you should study hard. The day after that the three of us will practice together. If there is something unclear, we can discuss it then.”

“Alright, I’ll come to find you in the main hall the day after tomorrow morning.”

“Great, let’s hope this method will help us withstand the Dragon Slayer Sword.”

Ye Chen nodded. Indeed, he couldn’t completely rely on finding something unexpected in the Books and Records Hall.

At this moment, He Xibai ran over, shouting, “Monkey, hurry up! Dinner is ready. If it gets cold, we aren’t going to make a new one for you.”

She didn’t know Ye Chen and Guo Mingyu were talking and started shouting from the entrance.

Guo Mingyu rose and said, “Alright then, no more searching. I’ll send some more people to help Yun’er search tomorrow.”

It was then He Xibai noticed Guo Mingyu and quickly went to greet her. Guo Mingyu quickly left.

“Why was the Punisher here?” He Xibai asked as she watched Guo Mingyu leave.

“She asked me if I was interested in marrying her daughter.” Ye Chen said half-jokingly.

“Really? Did you agree?” He Xibai excitedly asked.

“You’re really quite adorable!” Ye Chen put the books and the Heavenly Pearl Guo Mingyu gave him into his arms.

“Are you going to stay here?”

“No.” Ye Chen stood up and walked towards the exit.

“The Punisher wants you to marry Yun’er already.”

“You wish we slept together tonight, so that you could wash your hands of her tomorrow, wouldn’t you?”

“Who’s washing their hands of her?”

“I know what you’re thinking. You are tired of her constantly causing you trouble, and want to push her onto me, so I will take responsibility for her in the future. You can keep dreaming!” Ye Chen said.

“The way you speak makes it sound as if she is a burden.” He Xibai responded.

“Yes, she is a burden.”

“That happened so many years ago, you’re still thinking about it?”

“No matter how many years ago, it’s still something that happened.” Ye Chen replied.

“She is not the same as she used to be.”

“I haven’t seen any change. She seems the same as before, but her skin has thickened. Even as a boy, I feel inferior.” Ye Chen said coldly.

“What do you mean her skin has thickened? She only behaves like this with you.”

“If she behaves like this with all men, that would be strange! She must be a glutton for punishment.” Ye Chen said.

“Why do you speak so harshly?”

Ye Chen had already left the Books and Records Hall and was leading the way.

In Yu Yun’s courtyard, they had already prepared dinner and were waiting for his arrival.

The sky was completely dark by this time.

There were lanterns lit in the courtyard, which did not impair vision. Admiration was due for the table laden with food.

Ye Chen said, “Oh, you must think I haven’t eaten in days and want to stuff me to death.”

“It just shows how much I care about you.” Yu Yun said.

“Enough.” Ye Chen waved his hand, afraid she would ramble on.

“You’re really afraid of me.”

“You’re just figuring that out now.”

“Hehe, you’ll get used to it.”

“I don’t think I will ever get used to it.” Ye Chen continued, “I came over because I have something else to discuss with you.”

“Did you agree to marry me?”

“You really do act like you can’t get married.” Ye Chen sat down. The chopsticks and bowl were already prepared.

“I just want you to feel at home.”

“I feel like a lamb being led to slaughter.”

“What do you mean a lamb being led to slaughter! Watch your mouth.”

“Alright, let’s get down to business. Tomorrow, I might need to study the things your father gave me.”

“What did my father give you?”

Ye Chen responded, “Your father and Qiao Fanfeng are planning to form a Dragon Slaying Array using the three Sacred Pearls to deal with the Dragon Slayer Sword. I need to study what this array is.”

“Can it deal with the Mutant Winged Dragon and the Dragon Slayer Sword in its possession?”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t know. But it’s the only plan your father could come up with at this moment. We can’t let the Mutant Winged Dragon attack the Defense System with the Dragon Slayer Sword. If it fails to resist, what will happen then?”

“That’s good news.”

“However, we still need to find out the secret of the Dragon Slayer Sword. You need to perform this task. Your father said he will send a few people to help you. Starting from tomorrow, you will take charge of this and help to search for clues.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll be studying the Dragon Slaying Array.” Ye Chen continued, “If I have time, I’ll come and take a look.”

“I think you’d rather not come over.”

Ye Chen gave a sardonic laugh and said, “How could it be? Don’t joke around. This is a critical period, you can’t slack off. This is a very important task, and trusting you with it shows our faith in you.”

“You just want an excuse for freedom.”

“What are you thinking about! It’s a critical time now, and you’re still dawdling, while everyone else is doing their utmost. Why can’t you focus and contribute constructively?”

Yu Yun cast a glance at Ye Chen.

“Do you actually think I’m just playing house like a child?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yun coldly replied: “Understood.”

“Take it seriously. We might just stumble upon a useful clue. Even though your father is considering a triangular formation, it might not succeed, so we need to have a backup plan,” said Ye Chen.

“I said I understood.”

“Don’t take this lightly. This is extremely important in my opinion. Maybe we’ll find something vital that will directly assist us in defeating the Dragon Slaying Clan. This is a crucial task. The fact that I’m entrusting you with it goes to show how important you are.”

“Nonsense.”

“Hey, mind your manners,” said Ye Chen as he continued eating his dinner. “Not bad, it does feel like home. But this feeling of home is a luxury to me.”

“Why don’t you just say you don’t like it here.”

“You misunderstand, I meant to say that, ever since my mother passed away, I’ve been like a homeless swallow wandering aimlessly. It’s been a long time since I felt at home.”

“If it’s so good, why not stay?”

“But shouldn’t you get married?”

“I could just marry you.”

“Focus on what’s important. This really is critical,” Ye Chen continued. “If there’s any vital clue, do let me know promptly.”

“I think this is just a waste of time.”

“It might be a waste of time, but what if we do find what we’re looking for?”

“So what do you want?”

“I want to find the origin of the Dragon Slayer Sword, along with its weaknesses.”

“If it were so easy, someone would’ve found out already.”

“Who cares about others! Put in some effort and watch your tongue.”

“There might be nothing in there.”

“What if there is.”

What else could Yu Yun say.

“This meatball soup is delicious, extremely so,”

“Of course, it was brought here by Yun’er’s mother,” He Xibai said.

“You’re really treating me as your son-in-law! I just hope she won’t be disappointed. I heard that old lady has quite the temper,” said Ye Chen as he glanced at He Xibai. He remembered Guo Yuqing mentioning her before.

“Dare to call Yun’er’s mother an old lady.”

“That’s what Qing’er used to call her.”

“Just eat your meal,” yelled Yu Yun.

“Mmm, it really is good. I feel like royalty. Never would I have dared to imagine that I’d be treated so nicely.”

“You say so, but who knows what you’re truly thinking.”

“I’m being truthful, it really is scrumptious. There’s a touch of happiness in the taste.”

“You always act this way when you need me for something. Once it’s over, you push me away.”

“Who said that! We’re good friends, the best of friends, you know!”

“Who’s your good friend, best friend!” Yu Yun exclaimed.

“Let’s eat and try to defeat the Mutant Winged Dragon together tomorrow,” He didn’t dare to say too much.

“And after it’s defeated?”

“Once they’re defeated, the world will be at peace, and everyone will be able to live happily.”

“What about you?”

Ye Chen thought a bit before saying, “We’ll see, maybe find a temple and become a monk.”

Yu Yun replied with a cold chuckle.

“That’s why you should not pine for me.”

“You’re really asking for a beating with that comment,”

“I admit, I probably deserve one. If you’d lay off me after giving me a beating, I’d rather you beat me up a bit more.”

“As if I’d waste my time like that,” said Yu Yun.

“Why hurt your own hand? When you hit me, but the pain is in your own heart, why bother!”

“Why have you become more of a nag lately.”

“Fine, I’ll stop nagging. Let’s toast to our prompt defeat of the Mutant Winged Dragon and hope we both find a marriage partner soon.”

“Aren’t you being annoying.”

Ye Chen paused.

“Your father is preparing everything with great anxiety. I believe the Dragon Slaying Clan will be arriving in a few days. I need to be of as much help as possible.”

“I didn’t need you to tell me that.”

“I know you’re a sensible and obedient person, and you know better than to create problems at a time like this.”

Unknowingly, they had reached the end of dinner, and Ye Chen was gradually getting full.

“Alright, dinner’s over. I need to head back,” Ye Chen stood up.

“You don’t plan on staying?” asked He Xibai.

“Even if I jump into the Yellow River, I wouldn’t come out clean,” Ye Chen glanced at Yu Yun and said, “Let’s unite, and work hard for a better tomorrow.”

“I hope you don’t end up falling face-first,” said Yu Yun.”

“That won’t happen, I only had a couple of drinks, and I’m still clear-headed.”

“Alright, go on, I’m annoyed even looking at you.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “You should head to bed early.”

After leaving and returning to his courtyard, everything was quiet. He had wasted an entire day. Taking out the Heavenly Pearl and the secret scroll Guo Mingyu had given him from his pocket, he knew he needed to read them closely.
