“You may be his disciple. I also do not know what his origins truly are. But whatever his origins, there are some people you absolutely cannot provoke. They are far stronger than Buluo Mountain.” The Artifact Sect Sect Master looked at Ye Chu, reminding him.
“You speak of Zhong Wei’s fiancé?” Ye Chu looked at the Artifact Sect Sect Master and smiled.
“You understand then.” The Artifact Sect Sect Master said, “The matters of the past few days, I have seen them all. But such things cannot happen again. Otherwise, if word reaches his ears, neither you nor Zhong Wei will fare well.”
“He makes you all so cautious? You are the helmsman of a holy land. You fear him too?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
The Artifact Sect Sect Master shook his head. “He is the Son of Heaven of the Heavenly Mansion. What do you think?”
“Son of Heaven?” Ye Chu’s pupils suddenly contracted. “How arrogant and overbearing. He dares call himself Son of Heaven. Does he treat all the strong in the world as decorations?”
“He is worthy of this name.” The Artifact Sect Sect Master said to Ye Chu. “Only when you see him will you understand how demonic he is. Outstanding people willingly serve as his subordinates. He truly can become the next master of the Heavenly Mansion.”
Speaking to this point, the Artifact Sect Sect Master paused. He continued looking at Ye Chu and said, “Therefore, you should stay away from Zhong Wei and hold reverence for her.”
“Sorry.” Ye Chu suddenly laughed. “Pardon me, but compared to a Supreme Being, how is he?”
The Artifact Sect Sect Master was stunned, but then said, “A Supreme Being is supreme across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Though he is peerless and extraordinary, with the momentum to achieve Supreme Being status, that is only a possibility. It cannot guarantee he will certainly achieve Supreme Being status. Naturally he is far inferior to a Supreme Being.”
“Since he cannot compare to a Supreme Being, then I truly do not understand why I should hold reverence for Zhong Wei because of him.” Ye Chu smiled and said, “In this world there are many people I revere, but I will not revere someone because of his potential or demonic talent.”
Since coming to this world, Ye Chu had seen too many strong people. He had seen Supreme Beings and absolute experts. Especially within his body there was a strand of Supreme Being intent that could take a person’s life. Ye Chu’s reverence for the strong had already greatly diminished.
The person the Artifact Sect Sect Master spoke of might truly be very strong, truly demonic. But so what? He did not feel he needed to be fearful and trembling because of this. Even less would he change himself because of it.
Ye Chu had walked to his present point relying on his own beliefs. Even his own law, Ye Chu had achieved it in this state of pressing forward indomitably, fearless of Supreme Being obstruction.
The Artifact Sect Sect Master had not expected Ye Chu to answer thus. He frowned and said nothing more. A newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger. When he witnessed his strength later, he would know what he should do.
“You saved Zhong Wei. My Artifact Sect naturally owes you a condition. The Artifact Sect’s artifact refining methods, excluding those high level ones, you may look at freely. But if you wish to learn the high level ones, you will need to use this condition to exchange for them.” The Artifact Sect Sect Master said to Ye Chu, “Additionally, do not forget the matter of the Heavenly Mechanism Ranking.”
“This junior remembers it by heart.” Ye Chu replied.
…
In the following days, Ye Chu studied artifact refining arts every day. He thoroughly researched some basics, verifying the refining arts Zhong Wei had given him. Ye Chu benefited greatly.
Ye Chu also learned from this that the most important thing in artifacts was balance. At present Ye Chu only used one type of material, immortal material, and could not temper the artifact to perfection.
But Ye Chu could do nothing about this. Materials that could be used together with immortal material were too few. Ye Chu clearly knew his artifact had countless flaws, but could not perfect it.
“Forget it. I can only slowly perfect it. Though the Purple Gold Green Lotus currently has infinite flaws, for the present me it is still sufficient.” Ye Chu muttered.
The Artifact Sect truly deserved its reputation as a great artifact refining sect. Its scriptures on refining arts were endless. Ye Chu madly absorbed their knowledge.
This life persisted until Zhong Wei came to find him. Ye Chu looked at the beautiful woman standing before him. His gaze moved past her straight long legs and slender waist, landing on that absolutely beautiful face.
“Your uncle told me to keep my distance from you in the future.” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei helplessly, shrugging. “I am afraid of death now. Should I keep my distance from you?”
Zhong Wei rolled her eyes at Ye Chu, charmingly and delicately glaring at him. “Before putting on this pitiful appearance, could you restrain those thieving eyes of yours? Otherwise your words have too little credibility.”
“…”
Ye Chu smiled and said, “I have always been sincere in my dealings with people. My words are true. You would not think I am deceiving you, would you?”
Zhong Wei swept her eyes over Ye Chu. “Rest assured. In the Artifact Sect no one will make a fuss. Nothing will happen if I walk with you.”
“That may not be so. You know your fiancé has a very strong possessive desire.” Ye Chu laughed heartily.
“Our relationship is very innocent. So what if his possessive desire is strong? Do you think there is something between us?” Zhong Wei looked at Ye Chu.
“Ah…” Ye Chu widened his eyes. “So our relationship is very innocent. I thought you had fallen for me.”
“…” Zhong Wei took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her emotions. “Has anyone told you that you are truly narcissistic.”
How was this fellow’s brain wired? She was a bit warmer to him, a bit different. And he thought she had fallen for him?
Ye Chu shrugged. “It seems I overthought. Ah, since you did not fall for me, why did you come to find me?”
“Come with me. I will take you to a good place.” Zhong Wei suddenly smiled at Ye Chu. Only this smile made Ye Chu feel something strange within it. This made Ye Chu look at her uneasily.
“You are not afraid, are you?” Zhong Wei saw Ye Chu standing motionless and could not help smiling as she asked him.
“It is not that I am afraid.” Ye Chu said. “The worst result is merely being eaten by you. Such a thing I would not particularly resist.”
“…”
Watching Zhong Wei turn and leave, Ye Chu followed behind her swaying delicate body. “Should you not tell me where you want to take me?”
“You will know when we arrive. But before that, take me to avoid the Artifact Sect’s people. Do not let them know we have gone down the mountain.” Zhong Wei turned back, her smile sweet.
“I knew it.” Ye Chu said. “You definitely want to do something bad.”
However, Ye Chu was also someone who did not like constraints. Though he did not know where Zhong Wei wanted to go, he also wanted to see. A place that could make Zhong Wei feel interested was certainly not bad.
Ye Chu took Zhong Wei along the way, avoiding the Artifact Sect’s disciples. They descended the mountain very quickly. Ye Chu’s perception was powerful. With him leading Zhong Wei, it was difficult for others to discover them. Zhong Wei watched the Artifact Sect gradually grow distant from her. The corner of her mouth also rose in an alluring arc.
She thought that finding Ye Chu was indeed right. If it were her two cousins, they definitely would not do this.
