Yan Ying followed Ye Chenge all the way from when it was getting dark until it was pitch dark.
Ye Chenge led her through a weed-covered stone road, and then around the back mountain in twists and turns.
If Yan Ying hadn't known that Ye Chenge was not a human trafficker, she would have thought that she had been abducted.
As I walked, a dark tower appeared in front of me. It was probably ten meters high and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
Ye Chenge knocked the iron lock on the door to the ground as if he knew the place well, and pulled Yan Ying inside.
"Sister, what is this place?"
Yan Ying felt that this place was really weird and looked haunted. Would they encounter anything unclean?
"Don't be afraid, it's just an abandoned tower." A ball of fire lit up in Ye Chenge's heart, and holding the ball of fire, he led Yan Ying up the stairs to the top of the tower.
There was a table, two chairs, and several wooden boxes on the top of the tower.
Ye Chenge lit the candle on the table and sat down on the chair with a swagger.
"Sit down." Ye Chenge looked at Yan Ying and greeted her.
"This place is too high and no one comes here. When I was a child, I often played here. I could stay here for a whole day without being disturbed. It was quiet and peaceful to practice here. Back then, it wasn't so dilapidated." Ye Chenge blew the dust off the candlestick. She hadn't been here for a long time.
"What was this tower used for in the past?" Yan Ying wiped off the dust and sat down on the chair carefully.
She had never heard of this place, and she didn't expect there was such a tall tower here.
"I heard that it was used to hold monsters captive, but later the monsters were released. After the old sect leader passed away, no one cared about it anymore." Ye Chenge explained.
Ye Chenge leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Yan Ying felt that Ye Chenge looked calm and composed on the surface, but she seemed to have a lot on her mind.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ye Chenge still had his eyes closed.
Yan Ying quickly withdrew her gaze, thinking to herself how could he know she was looking at her when she hadn't even opened her eyes? It was scary.
"Little dirty boy, I saved you because I thought you looked a lot like me."
Ye Chenge still closed his eyes and rested, speaking in a calm voice.
Yan Ying said nothing and listened quietly to Ye Chenge's words.
"I actually have parents. I wasn't adopted by my master at birth."
"My father was originally a disciple of the Guiyun Sect. He was considered my master's junior fellow apprentice. He, like me, has fire spiritual roots."
"Master often told me that my father was a very good monk, but he was not a good father."
"He insisted on ascending to a higher rank to satisfy his own selfish desires, but he lacked the luck to do so. He died before he could succeed in the ascension."
"After he died, my mother's whereabouts were unknown, so my master adopted me and took me in as his disciple."
"Actually, I envy you. Not knowing who your parents are means you have fewer worries."
Ye Chenge's tone was flat, as if he was just telling an insignificant story.
"Sister..." Yan Ying didn't know what to say. It turned out that Ye Chenge's life experience was like this.
"Don't comfort me, I actually don't care anymore. His death has warned me that people should live in the present. Cultivation is not important, being alive is what matters." Ye Chenge opened his eyes faintly and turned to look at Yan Ying.
Under the moonlight, Yan Ying's skin is exceptionally fair, her eyelashes are long, and her little face is chubby, making her look cute no matter how you look at her.
Yan Ying noticed that Ye Chenge was staring at her, so she turned her head to look at Ye Chenge.
"Little dirty boy, how old are you?" Ye Chenge suddenly asked for no reason.
Yan Ying was stunned for a moment, then said, "Thirteen years old."
Ye Chenge looked Yan Ying up and down, then smiled. "At thirteen, it's true that she shouldn't be growing up yet."
???
"What?" Yan Ying thought she had misheard. What development was she talking about?
"I said, you are still too young." Ye Chenge replied with a smile, holding his cheek.
"Who said I'm small?" She was not small at all. She was at least older than Ye Chenge before she came here. Why did she still treat her like a child?
"Oh? Not small?" Ye Chenge looked at Yan Ying with his eyes tilted, his gaze slowly moving down from her chin...
"Not small!" Yan Ying felt uncomfortable when she saw Ye Chenge's gaze, and quickly crossed her arms across her chest and straightened her back.
"Puchi! You're not small, why are you blocking it?" Ye Chenge couldn't help laughing when he saw Yan Ying's expression.
......
Devil's Domain and Desolate Mountains.
"My Lord, are you okay?" Gui Ren supported Cen Ji and asked worriedly.
At this time, the two of them were in a cliff cave. Cen Ji covered his chest with his hands, and stood in front of the jade coffin with a painful expression.
The coffin lid had been opened and a person was lying inside.
The man had white hair, closed eyes, purple lips, and a face full of wrinkles. He was wearing a coat embroidered with gold thread, and the waist belt was inlaid with emerald gems. There was a cold air in the coffin.
Cen Ji waved his hand and stood up straight.
There was a burst of black energy on his hands, and the veins were bulging.
He had just absorbed the spiritual root of the person in the coffin, but the spiritual power of the spiritual root was too strong and it backfired on him. Now the two spiritual powers in his body were colliding back and forth, causing him excruciating pain.
Ghost Blade looked at the sweat on Cen Ji's forehead, then put his hands behind Cen Ji and urged his spiritual power to suppress the backlash for him.
"It was my fault for being reckless. My Lord should have waited a little longer..."
"Not really. I will get through this level sooner or later." Cen Ji suppressed the pain in his body with red eyes.
Cen Ji looked into the coffin with his cold eyes. The person lying in the coffin was his father.
He doesn't look like a man who once dominated the Demon Realm. It's ridiculous. I wonder if he ever thought that there would be such a day.
