Chapter 840
Yang Tangting and Su Banshi did not know why Zhong Wei, who usually came alone, had brought a man this time, but they did not show their thoughts. They looked at Zhong Wei with admiring gazes and said, “Yes, some flesh wounds are no trouble.”
Zhong Wei felt relieved at this and let a group of youths help the two bind their bandages, not asking anything further.
“They are not weak!” Ye Chu was not familiar with the villagers and did not stand with them. Seeing Zhong Wei walk towards him, he smiled and said to Zhong Wei.
Zhong Wei nodded and said, “Yang Tangting and Su Banshi once fought with my cousin. They did not fall behind.”
“That strong?” Ye Chu clicked his tongue. Although he had detected the two’s strength, he had not expected them to be this strong. Qi Fa Jin and Qi Fa Shui, as successors of the Qi Sect, their strength naturally went without saying. They counted as outstanding talents of the era, yet these two could actually match them. They were truly monstrous.
“If not for the two having such strength, how could they guard these hundred or so orphans? Speaking of which, because they had to take care of these orphans, they wasted quite a bit of time cultivating. Otherwise my two cousins would be slightly weaker.”
“…”
While Ye Chu and Zhong Wei were talking, Yang Tangting and Su Banshi’s gazes both fell on the two of them. Watching the graceful Zhong Wei smile sweetly, their eyes held infatuation. Likewise, they held boundless jealousy towards Ye Chu.
Zhong Wei was their dream girl. This woman was like a white lotus. Every time she appeared she baptised their souls, letting their souls find peace. From the first time they saw Zhong Wei, they had fallen for Zhong Wei.
Especially after later learning this girl was the Dance Empress of the Red Dust Domain, their love grew even more extraordinary. Only all along, they had buried their love deep in their hearts.
Such a woman, they simply did not dare profane. But at this moment watching Ye Chu talk and laugh with her so sweetly, the envy and jealousy in their hearts could not be suppressed.
“Such a pure lotus, can it actually be plucked by someone?”
In this village, those who had already become conscious of women, who did not love Zhong Wei? Every time Zhong Wei was not around, everyone’s topic was Zhong Wei. Yet this girl now seemed to be with someone else. This made those youths with notions of romance feel their hearts break. They could clearly hear the sound of glass shattering at their chests.
Zhong Wei was very happy in this village, playing together with these half-grown children. Her smile was sweet, displaying a relaxation and beauty rarely seen before.
Ye Chu thought, perhaps Zhong Wei was trying to escape others’ confinement, longing for this carefree freedom. Only, at this moment the Qi Sect people seeing Zhong Wei disappear, who knew how worried and anxious they would be.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Ye Chu. After Ye Chu took the sacred liquid, his power refined to a terrifying degree. The cold intent baptised his body, and the impurities in his body were mostly removed. Cultivating became twice the result with half the effort, his mind unimpeded.
Heaven and earth’s yuan qi madly surged into Ye Chu’s body, raising his strength.
He spent three days in this village, and then on the morning of the fourth day. Ye Chu, sitting on a green stone meditating, suddenly tensed his body, his gaze shooting towards one spot.
Zhong Wei, who was walking over, just happened to see this scene. She could not help asking Ye Chu in puzzlement, “What is it?”
“Many people are coming this way. I don’t know if they are from the Qi Sect.” Ye Chu answered Zhong Wei.
“Ah…” Zhong Wei’s eyes instantly dimmed, gazing into the distance. “I truly hope one day I can escape his shadow.”
Ye Chu smiled and said, “Then just don’t marry him. What big deal is it!”
Zhong Wei was rendered speechless by Ye Chu’s completely unconcerned attitude, thinking if it were really this easy she would have done it long ago.
“Since they have come, then I shall go back.” Zhong Wei sighed. Although her eyes held unwillingness, she was helpless.
Just as Zhong Wei prepared to walk towards that side, Yang Tangting and Su Banshi instead held weapons and leapt out from the village. They shouted at the youths in the village, “A Da, A Huang, have the villagers gather and take them retreating from the side.”
While speaking, Yang Tangting and Su Banshi leapt to Ye Chu and Zhong Wei’s side. “Miss Zhong Wei, Ye Chu, you follow A Huang and the others and leave together. Quickly, do not linger.”
Yang Tangting’s face was ashen, his hand gripping his weapon tightly. He had not expected they could actually find this place.
Zhong Wei had originally thought these were Qi Sect people, but seeing Yang Tangting like this, she knew her guess was wrong. “What is happening?”
“This time outside we encountered a person. He spoke disrespectfully to us at the time, so we casually taught him a lesson. We did not expect to bring great disaster. The other party’s identity is noble, and afterwards people pursued us all the way. The arm wounds were left by them. If not for us running fast, we probably would have died at their hands. Only we did not expect they could pursue us here.” Yang Tangting gripped his weapon tightly, once again reminding Zhong Wei and Ye Chu to leave quickly.
Just as the villagers were gathering, in the distance over a hundred people appeared in everyone’s sight. These people all held long axes. The few at the front had imposing auras like rainbows, pressing towards this side with their might.
These few auras made Ye Chu’s heart jump too. Each aura was no less than a high-grade monarch.
“Damn, they came so fast!” Yang Tangting’s face was extremely gloomy. Had he known these people could find them, he would rather have died than head towards the village.
“You ran quite fast. If not for us having special means, we probably really could not have found you.” From among these hundred or so people walked out a youth, smiling as he looked at Yang Tangting, the corner of his mouth carrying a few degrees of playfulness.
Yang Tangting stared at the other party, looking at the powerful force behind him, and said coldly, “You are rather too overbearing, pursuing us two for several hundred li without hesitation.”
“Daring to injure my cousin, naturally you must pay some price. Of course, if you agree to my conditions, the matter of injuring my cousin can be let bygones be bygones.” The youth at the front looked at Yang Tangting and said.
“You dream! We will never be someone else’s running dog!” Su Banshi snorted.
“Don’t reject so firmly!” The youth smiled as he looked at Su Banshi and said, “My master is a person who will prove the Dao and become supreme in the future. You following him is no loss. I see you are talented people, that is why I recruit you. If it were others, they would have been killed long ago.”
“You are dreaming!” Su Banshi said, “I don’t know who your master is, nor do I want to know. I only know, wanting us to be lackeys, that is dreaming!”
“Since that is the case, then don’t blame me for being impolite. First capture you, my master has ways to make you submit to him.” The youth smiled at the two, “What my master wants, has never disappointed.”
While speaking, he flicked his finger and shouted at the people behind him, “Surround them all, don’t let a single one escape. Those who dare break rules and try to flee, kill without mercy!”
“You dare!” Su Banshi roared, blue veins bulging.
