Walking on the streets of Liyang City, Ye Chen did not feel the joy he felt when he came here in the past. Instead, he felt extremely humiliated.
Damn Feng Shao! Damn Holy Son! Why? Why do you want to humiliate me like this? ! You are just relying on your early entry, and your fellow disciples kneeling down to you. Without these, what are you? !
You are not worthy of the position of Holy Son!
Under the overwhelming hatred in his heart, Ye Chen's originally handsome face gradually became hideous and distorted.
Ye Chen was originally narrow-minded and vindictive. After he got the Blood Refining Sword, he was influenced by the magic of the Blood Refining Sword day and night, which made his desires and greed grow stronger. He never thought there was anything wrong with this, which led to him ignoring the negative effects of the Blood Refining Sword for a long time.
If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Chen will become a demon sooner or later. Of course, according to the general routine of fantasy novels, Ye Chen will definitely try every means to hide himself after becoming a demon, and will only use it as a trump card when he has no choice. In addition, in order to prevent his demon cultivation from being exposed, he will definitely kill all those who know about it.
This is the characteristic of a demon cultivator: selfish, ruthless, indiscriminate killing, and indulgence. If you still insist that "power has no distinction between good and evil", then it is pure nonsense.
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly heard a commotion not far away. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and the next moment he opened his eyes involuntarily.
"Hmph! You are so rude! I just touched your things, but you insisted on making me buy them. Do you think I am easy to bully?"
The person who spoke was a pretty girl who looked no more than 28 years old. She had a savage look on her face and seemed not to be easily messed with.
The person standing in front of her was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, dressed in a coarse linen shirt. He was extremely inconspicuous, the kind of person you would find hard to spot in a crowd.
The middle-aged man was holding a gray object in his hand, and he cried out in tears: "You are so unreasonable! This jade pendant of mine is an heirloom from my ancestors. It was originally emerald green and transparent, but you touched it and it became like this! My poor mother is ill and relies on this jade pendant to make money for treatment! How can my mother live after you made my jade pendant like this!"
The girl scratched her head and said, "You can't blame me for this, right? How would I know that your jade pendant cannot be touched! How about...how about I compensate you with some money!"
As she spoke, the girl took out her purse and prepared to take out the money.
At this time, a voice suddenly said, "Girl, don't believe his lies! The jade pendant and the cure for my illness are all lies!"
The onlookers looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a handsome young man looking at the middle-aged man holding the jade pendant with disdain, with a half-smile on his face.
"It's you! You are Ye Chen!" The middle-aged man exclaimed first, and then said angrily, "How can you confuse right and wrong at will? Many people here saw what my jade pendant looked like just now! If it hadn't been touched by this girl, how could my jade pendant be in this state now?"
Ye Chen sneered and said, "Hu Lao Er, don't think I don't know. You just took a piece of waste jade and painted it with a layer of green paint. Once the green paint is rubbed off, your jade pendant will naturally be exposed. As for the others, they are nothing more than your agents! You take advantage of the girl's lack of experience and want to blackmail her. But with me here, you can forget it!"
After this was said, many people were unhappy.
"What are you talking about? So many of us have seen it, can you still wrongly accuse this girl?"
"You are just talking nonsense!"
"Don't think you can turn right into wrong just because you've entered Taiwei Sect! The Holy Son of Taiwei Sect has said that no one can do anything wrong in the name of Taiwei Sect!"
It would have been fine if Feng Shao hadn't been mentioned. As soon as Feng Shao was mentioned, Ye Chen's face suddenly darkened. He glanced at everyone coldly and said, "Since I'm here today, I won't allow you to bully this girl! Girl, let's go, I'll see who dares to stop us!"
In fact, the jade pendant of the middle-aged man is indeed real. Not only is it real, but it is also a rare opportunity. However, the value of this jade pendant is usually not apparent. It will only be activated when it comes into contact with people with a specific physique, but it will be useless after being activated. The girl happened to be a person with a special physique, so the jade pendant became like this after being touched by her.
However, no one present could see the problem here. Only Ye Chen, who was a cultivator, guessed a little. The girl also felt that when she touched the jade pendant just now, some strange energy seemed to have penetrated into her body.
But Ye Chen always took advantage of others and never considered whether others had any difficulties. The girl was also confused about the changes in her body and could not be sure. She hesitated whether to compensate the middle-aged man or not, after all, her family was not short of money. Although she had a stubborn personality, she was not unreasonable. Unexpectedly, Ye Chen pulled her away without saying anything.
Although the onlookers were unhappy, they were wary of Ye Chen's advanced skills and could only watch them leave.
After walking a few hundred meters, Ye Chen finally let go of the girl's hand. He helped the girl not because he was fighting for justice, but because she was beautiful and dressed elegantly. Therefore, the moment he saw the girl, Ye Chen had the idea of making friends with her, so he stepped forward to help the girl out.
Now that the situation was resolved, Ye Chen could not continue to hold her. He knew very well that one should know when to stop in front of the opposite sex, so as not to cause the other party's disgust. After letting go of her hand, Ye Chen smiled and said to the girl: "My lady, I am Ye Chen from Taiwei Sect. May I ask your name?"
Although the girl felt that Ye Chen was a bit nosy, he had helped her after all, so she had no choice but to bow and say, "My name is Deng Ying, thank you for your righteous words just now."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Miss, you are too kind. I just happened to be there and saw injustice, so I said a few more words."
Ye Chen's few words immediately raised the girl's favorability. After all, the son of luck is more useful than appearance in this regard. The girl immediately regarded Ye Chen as a good friend and said to him with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Ye is convenient to come to my house as a guest?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Then I'd better obey your command."
Next, Deng Ying took Ye Chen to the center of Liyang City. Halfway through the walk, Ye Chen saw a familiar sign from afar: Linglong Pavilion.
Deng Ying pointed at Linglong Pavilion and smiled at Ye Chen, "That's my home!"
Ye Chen: “…”
Ye Chen also knew the name of Linglong Pavilion. However, he only knew that Linglong Pavilion was a store that specialized in selling and purchasing magic weapons, but he didn't know that behind Linglong Pavilion stood the most powerful force in Dongzhou, Yunjian Pavilion.
Ye Chen also had some dealings with Linglong Pavilion. After all, Ye Chen had traveled down the mountain many times, and he always returned with a full load. He kept the things that were useful to him, and sold the useless things directly to Linglong Pavilion. Therefore, the owner of Linglong Pavilion was also deeply impressed by this cultivator who often brought good things to sell.
As for the other Taiwei disciples, they usually kept the useful ones for themselves and handed them over to the sect. Who knows who might need them? Only the really useless ones would be packed up by Feng Shao and sold together, and then exchanged for a batch of supplies that would be useful to the sect.
This is why Linglong Pavilion is only familiar with Feng Shao and Ye Chen.
Deng Ying is the daughter of the owner of Linglong Pavilion. She didn't live here originally, but just came to Liyang City recently. Unexpectedly, she met Ye Chen on the second day after arriving in Liyang City, which made her feel surprised and sincerely happy. Although Ye Chen was calm on the surface, he was very happy in his heart. If he could seduce Deng Ying, a white, rich and beautiful woman, wouldn't he be able to get a lot of benefits from Linglong Pavilion in the future?
Although I knew that this girl had an extraordinary background, I didn't expect her to be so extraordinary. This was a pleasant surprise.
Deng Ying directly pulled Ye Chen through the front hall and came to the inner courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw two children meditating and practicing seriously.
The two children were a little girl of twelve or thirteen, and a little boy of eight or nine. The little girl was delicate and pretty, and it was obvious that she was a beauty. The little boy was also cute, but lacked a bit of masculinity.
Deng Ying walked up to her, patted the little girl on the head, and said with a smile, "Little girl, are you practicing Qi again?"
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at Deng Ying with a sweet smile: "Sister Deng Ying!"
Deng Ying responded with a smile, and then asked, "How's your practice these past two days? Have you gotten started?"
The little girl said with a distressed look on her face: "There hasn't been much progress yet. Sister Deng Ying, do you think I'm too stupid?"
Deng Ying smiled and shook her head: "You are not stupid, it's just that your master's expectations of you are too high. Anyway, I have never heard of anyone who can get started with Qi training with just a booklet!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel moved.
booklet?
Ye Chen walked up to the little girl and said with a smile: "Little sister, can you show your booklet to your brother?"
The little girl glanced at Ye Chen and inexplicably felt a little disgusted with him. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No! This is given to me by my master. I can't show it to outsiders without my master's permission!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I am not an outsider. If I am not mistaken, you are holding the entry-level Qi training formula of Taiwei Sect, right?"
The little girl asked curiously: "How do you know?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Of course it's because I'm also a disciple of Taiwei Sect! By the way, what's your master's name? Tell me, I should know him."
The little girl shook her head and said, "I can't tell you! My master hasn't officially accepted me yet!"
For some reason, the little girl always felt that this big brother who looked warm and gentle was not as kind as he appeared, and the look in his eyes was far from as kind and thorough as Feng Shao's. The little girl was blessed with luck and could more or less see the essence of some people, so she subconsciously did not want to get close to Ye Chen.
So she turned around and took the other little boy and ran to the inner hall, completely unaware of how rude that was.
Ye Chen was looking at the little girl's back, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
