Ever since he joined Taiwei Sect, Ye Chen has never felt so aggrieved.
After Ye Chen lost his sword, he begged his master and senior sister, hoping that they could get the sword back from Feng Shao for him. However, the senior sister rejected him harshly and even scolded him. Then he begged the third senior sister, who was not as harsh as the senior sister, but also asked him not to think about the sword anymore. Then he went to find his master again, but the master only asked him to reflect on his behavior and did not mention his sword at all.
The only one who said that he was willing to help Ye Chen give it a try was the Second Senior Sister. This touched Ye Chen, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel resentful towards the First Senior Sister, the Third Senior Sister and the Master.
But unexpectedly, not long after, the second sister told him that she couldn't get the sword back for him.
Ye Chen didn't know what went wrong. Wasn't he the most favored junior brother among the three branches? How did his status drop so much overnight? I just asked you to help me get the sword back, but you all refused and refused, totally ignoring the friendship between fellow disciples.
Ye Chen wanted to shout: "This Taiwei Sect, it's better not to be stupid!"
Fortunately, reason stopped his impulse.
Because he lost the "Red Dragon Sword", his master and senior sisters did not speak for him. Ye Chen was extremely upset and simply sneaked down the mountain.
Before joining the sect, Ye Chen was just a small hoodlum in Liyang City who had no food to eat. Once, when he was fighting for food with someone, his ferocious behavior impressed the other party, so the two sides put aside their hostility and became sworn brothers in front of the land temple.
And the man who became sworn brothers with him was Lai Tousan.
In fact, Ye Chen looked down on people like Lai Tousan from the bottom of his heart, but he felt that he was too weak at that time, and it was not easy for him to survive in Liyang City alone, so he simply joined Lai Tousan's gang so that he could have someone to take care of him.
After joining the gang, Ye Chen's characteristics as a son of luck gradually came into play. This small gang, which was originally just struggling to survive, gradually became a well-known bully gang in Liyang City. However, they are very self-aware and know who they can and cannot offend. So although they act arrogantly, they have never encountered any trouble.
The ones they provoked were mainly small shops that sold food but had no strong backing, such as steamed bun shops, dumpling shops, noodle shops, dim sum shops, and taverns. In order to keep the peace and not affect their business, the owners of those small shops had no choice but to compromise. They paid a so-called "protection fee" every month, just to get some peace.
Of course, they were definitely not to be counted on for protection. In the entire Liyang City, apart from Lai Tou San and his gang, who else would be so idle as to make fun of these small shop owners?
As for those big restaurants, Lai Tousan and his friends didn't dare to provoke them, nor could they afford to provoke them.
This situation lasted for three or four years, until five years ago, when Ye Chen encountered the first major turning point in his life.
Du Yuanxi, the elder of Taiwei Sect, came to Liyang City because he needed to buy some natural treasures. While walking on the street, Du Yuanxi noticed Ye Chen passing by. At that time, Ye Chen and others were fighting with another gangster group, and Ye Chen's fierce and stubborn eyes deeply touched Du Yuanxi. Du Yuanxi wondered at the time, what kind of person had experienced to have such a look?
It was because of this inexplicable reason that Du Yuanxi suddenly had an idea and stepped forward to help Ye Chen get rid of the enemy, and then asked Ye Chen: "Are you willing to be my disciple?"
Ye Chen was stunned at first, then asked subconsciously: "Then will you give me steamed buns to eat?"
Hearing this question, Du Yuanxi couldn't help but think of the conversation between the head brother and Feng Shao when he accepted Feng Shao, so he said, "Yes."
"Then I will take you as my master!"
No matter how bizarre, bloody, and ridiculous this process was, the final development was that Ye Chen successfully became Du Yuanxi's disciple and became Du Yuanxi's fourth disciple, breaking her tradition of only accepting female disciples.
After Feng Shao knew about this, he could only sigh inwardly: The luck of the Son of Fortune is so terrifying!
However, Feng Shao didn't have much opinion on this. At that time, he didn't quite understand the role of luck, nor did he know what kind of impact a person with such a strong luck would have on the sect. Feng Shao felt that accepting a child of luck might help the sect grow and develop!
But it turned out that Feng Shao was overthinking.
Ye Chen's luck seemed to be only useful to himself, and the things he gained through his luck would only be used on himself or those who flattered him. As for the sect, he had no intention of repaying, but he accepted the monthly salary and elixir supply from the sect without hesitation.
This is a son of fortune who is extremely selfish, and this quality seems to be common among the protagonists of the fantasy novels that Feng Shao had read in his previous life.
After losing the "Red Dragon Sword" due to a bet, Ye Chen thought more about why his master and senior sister didn't help him get the sword back, rather than what mistake he made in this matter.
Ye Chen, who felt that he was not understood by the world, simply went down the mountain to relax. The first place he went after going down the mountain was Liyang City, where he grew up.
During the five years since he became a disciple, Ye Chen had traveled down the mountain many times and returned to Liyang City many times. Every time he returned to Liyang City, Ye Chen would go to find his former friends. Although he looked down on them from the bottom of his heart, as the saying goes, "If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking at night in brocade clothes." Ye Chen has always liked to show off, so when he has nothing to do, he likes to come back and drink, eat meat and brag with his old buddies. And Lai Tou San and others also deliberately tried to please him, making Ye Chen even more proud.
The reason why Ye Chen dared to challenge Feng Shao at the enthronement ceremony was also because he was exaggerated by people like Lai Tousan.
Ye Chen was in a bad mood when he came down the mountain, so he wanted to find Lai Tou San and others to relieve his anger. But he didn't expect that after walking around the street, he heard some unexpected things.
Just a few days ago, Lai Tou San and his gang were beaten up. The worst case had his limbs broken, and Lai Tou San's thigh was broken. This incident made countless people in Liyang City who were bullied by Lai Tou San's gang cheer for it, and what made them even happier was the identity of the attacker.
Feng Shao, the newly promoted Saint Son of Taiwei Sect, was second only to the Sect Leader Qingyangzi in status, and was much more noble than Lai Tou San's so-called sworn brother. And Feng Shao's words also declared Taiwei Sect's attitude on this matter.
No one should think of bullying others in the name of Taiwei Sect, otherwise he will settle the score with you later!
With Feng Shao's words, the reliance of Lai Tou San and others to run rampant in Liyang City was completely ruined. Moreover, since Lai Tou San and others had acted too much in the past few years, there were countless people in the city who hated them. It can be said that from that day on, their good days were completely over.
After Ye Chen found out, he was furious. Although he looked down on the bald-headed third-class people, they were his people after all. You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. Feng Shao actually beat my people so openly and said such words. Isn't this the same as trampling on my face and crushing it with your feet?
This is simply outrageous!
Ye Chen came to the door of Lai Tousan's house angrily, and kicked it open with a "bang".
The third person in the group was lying inside recovering from his injuries. When they heard the kicking sound, they thought it was the enemy who came to the door, so they jumped up in fear and ran to the window without thinking. The two people who did not have broken bones ran the fastest, and they jumped out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lai Tou San also wanted to run, but one of his legs was broken, and he could not get far by hopping on the other leg.
As for the one whose limbs were broken, he was even more miserable. He couldn't move at all. He could only lie on the ground and watch the person at the door walk into the room.
But after a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted quickly: "Third brother! It's Ye Chen! Ye Chen is back!"
Lai Tou San hurriedly looked towards the door and found that the person who came was indeed Ye Chen. Without thinking, he went forward and hugged Ye Chen's calf, crying.
"Brother Ye Chen! You must seek justice for the brothers! That guy called Feng Shao beat us brothers right away. He was so cruel that I couldn't even watch! He also said that you, brother Ye Chen, are just a dog in front of him! No, you are even worse than a dog! He beats us brothers, because we are thick-skinned and not afraid of being beaten, but we can never tolerate him scolding you like that! The brothers were so angry that they tried to reason with him, but he broke Xiaowu's hands and feet without saying a word! Even I, your brother, had my thigh broken by him! How could he have stepped on our legs? He clearly stepped on your face!"
The tearful performance of Lai Tou San made the strong man whose limbs were broken unable to hold back his tears: "Third brother, actually I didn't..."
Ye Chen interrupted the strong man and asked coldly: "Are you saying that it was Feng Shao who beat you?"
"That's right! That's what he said!" Lai Tou San wiped his tears and said fiercely, "That pretty boy looks like he deserves a beating. He's not a good guy at first glance! I heard that he is the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect. We brothers didn't want to cause trouble for you, so we spoke to him nicely, but we didn't expect him to be so cruel! Brother Ye Chen, were you also bullied by him like this when you were in the mountain?"
Ye Chen looked at Lai Tou San with a gloomy expression. The murderous look in his eyes made Lai Tou San feel startled. Just as he was feeling anxious, he heard Ye Chen grit his teeth and say, "Feng Shao, you are not satisfied with humiliating me in the sect, you even want to come down the mountain and beat my people! You wait and see, things will change over time, don't bully the poor young man!"
Having said that, Ye Chen strode out of the door and left without looking back.
After Ye Chen left, the strong man couldn't help but ask Lai Tou San: "Third brother, is it appropriate for you to lie to Brother Ye Chen like this?"
But Lai Tou San rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "Ever since Ye Chen came to the mountain, he has looked down on us brothers even more. Isn't it for today that we brothers coax him every day? If he doesn't get our place back, then will we still have a place to stay in Liyang City?"
The sturdy man said hesitantly: "But what if Ye Chen can't beat Feng Shao?"
"I don't care about that!" Baldhead San smiled sinisterly, "Anyway, I've already disliked Ye Chen for a long time, it would be good if he was beaten to death!"
The sturdy man looked at the expression of Lai Tousan and couldn't help shivering.
