Chapter 232
He Jingyue looked at Ye Shi, raised the letter in her hand, smiled, and said, "I have a good deal, two million medium-grade Yuanshi, do you want to take it?"
Ye Shi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Is there such a good thing? Is it dangerous?"
Two million yuan stones is no small sum! It's enough for him to complete five or six missions.
"It's not very dangerous, don't worry. I know you are afraid of death, so I chose safe ones for you." He Jingyue looked at Ye Shi with some anger and smiled helplessly.
Ye Shi is good in every way except that he is too afraid of death. Moreover, he is well-known for being afraid of death.
Other people, if they are afraid of death, would not say it out loud like Ye Shi, but Ye Shi often talks about his fear of death. Countless people have laughed at Ye Shi openly or secretly, but Ye Shi doesn't take it to heart at all.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's good."
"Originally, a mission like this wouldn't have been ours, but since you defeated Bai Yi and are now famous, many people have come looking for you," He Jingyue said with satisfaction. Bai Yi is the best of the younger generation of the Bai family! What better way to rise to power than by stepping on the back of a genius?
Ye Shi tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Has the news of my defeat of Bai Yi spread?"
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes!"
In fact, the Formation Tower did not make this matter public, but there were so many sharp-eyed and sharp-eared people in Central Continent that this matter could not be concealed at all.
Bai Yi is the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Bai family. Many people are watching him. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. The news that Bai Yi lost to Ye Shi became a hot topic immediately. It seems that someone within the Bai family is fanning the flames.
The Bai family tree is big and has deep roots, but too many branches and leaves will inevitably breed termites.
"Did the people who came this time only invite us? They didn't invite two groups of people again, did they? I don't want to meet Bai Yi all the time." Ye Shi frowned and said with some resistance.
"Indeed, two groups of people were invited. That group also invited Xia Ruoxue from the Xia family, not the Bai family." He Jingyue said.
"Xia Ruoxue, this name sounds familiar!" Ye Shi couldn't help but say.
"You forgot that she was originally the fiancée of Bai Chenxing from the Bai family!" He Jingyue said with full of gossip.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "So it's her!"
When Ye Shi heard Bai Chenxing's name, his expression couldn't help but look a little strange.
He Jingyue shrugged and said, "Bai Chenxing has never married, and Xia Ruoxue has never married. I really don't know what these two are awkward about."
Ye Shi said nonchalantly, "Didn't I tell you the reason a long time ago?" Bai Chenxing is impotent! Even if Bai Chenxing is wise and powerful, so what? If he has a hidden illness, no matter how powerful he is, it will be useless.
He Jingyue's face twisted when she heard Ye Shi's words. "Ye Shi, that's not something you can say carelessly."
Ye Shi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I just said that because I was hiding."
…………
"Ayi." Bai Lifeng called out to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi stopped and looked at the person behind him.
Bai Lifeng is Bai Chenxing's half-brother. He is also very talented in formations. Unfortunately, in Bai Lifeng's generation, there is only Bai Chenxing, and the others are overshadowed by him.
"Uncle Li Feng, is there something wrong?" Bai Yi stopped and asked.
"Ayi, I heard that you lost to a formation master from outside the formation tower this time." Bai Lifeng asked.
Bai Yi's face changed. Before, someone in the family had proposed to recruit Ye Shi, but he rejected it. As a result, the person he rejected actually crushed him completely. He underestimated Ye Shi. Although this person came from outside the domain, he was really not simple.
Bai Yi had a dark face. The competition in the Bai family was very fierce. Many of his brothers of the same generation disliked him and were waiting to find fault with him. The fact that Ye Shi's matter had spread so widely was the work of his brothers.
Bai Yi nodded and said, "I underestimated Ye Shi before. I didn't expect that he, an outsider cultivator, actually possessed the Spiritual Pattern Eye."
Bai Lifeng's eyes immediately flashed with light, "Spiritual Pattern Eyes?"
Bai Yi nodded and said, "Yes!"
"What grade?" Bai Lifeng asked.
"The grade should be quite high. I couldn't find any problem with the formation, but he could see it at a glance." Bai Yi said with a faint smile.
A hint of coldness flashed in Bai Yi's eyes. There were quite a few formation masters in Zhongzhou who possessed spiritual pattern eyes, but these formation masters generally possessed low-grade spiritual pattern eyes, while he possessed high-grade spiritual pattern eyes. Bai Chenxing possessed top-grade spiritual pattern eyes, and it was unknown what level Ye Shi's spiritual pattern eyes were, but they couldn't be top-grade either.
Bai Lifeng narrowed his eyes, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
Bai Yi looked at Bai Lifeng's face and smiled coldly. Bai Lifeng had always been very jealous of Bai Chenxing and believed that the reason he lost to Bai Chenxing was because of his eyes. Bai Lifeng had been studying the art of eye replacement. Over the years, three or four people with spiritual pattern eyes had died at Bai Lifeng's hands.
"Ayi, victory and defeat are common in the military. You are still young, so don't take such things too seriously." Bai Lifeng comforted him indifferently.
"I know." Bai Yi said.
Bai Yi looked at Bai Lifeng's back and a faint smile appeared on his face.
…………
"I heard that Ayi lost to the cultivator from the outside world?" Bai Chenxing asked, looking at Bai Jinle and Zhuang Yu with interest.
Bai Jinle frowned, nodded, and said, "Yes."
Bai Yi was completely defeated. Bai Jinle had never seen Bai Yi lose so miserably. Ye Shi's ability was too exaggerated. He was so young, but he had already mastered the art of splitting the formation. No one knew where Ye Shi had learned such an advanced formation technique as the art of splitting the formation.
Bai Chenxing held his chin and said, "It seems that person has some skills!"
"It must be his talent. He has spiritual pattern eyes." Zhuang Yu said, twisting his fingers.
When breaking the formation, he originally wanted to persuade Ye Shi not to overestimate his own abilities, but he didn't know that Ye Shi's formation skills were so advanced.
Zhuang Yu lowered his head. He couldn't understand why. He had arrived in Zhongzhou two years before Ye Shi, and had even undergone the cleansing of his essence and marrow on Baichen Star, yet he still couldn't compare to Ye Shi. Was he destined to live under Ye Shi's shadow for the rest of his life?
Bai Chenxing narrowed his eyes and said, "Spiritual Pattern Eyes, he actually has this thing." Bai Chenxing's mood suddenly felt a little strange.
"Is the family Ye Shi was born into a family of formations?" Bai Chenxing asked.
Zhuang Yu shook his head and said, "No, it's just a small, unknown family in the outer realm. The strongest person in the family is just a martial artist. Ye Shi's father is a gambler and alcoholic, and his mother was his father's concubine. She was not favored and was not good at cultivation. She has passed away many years ago."
Bai Chenxing frowned and said, "Gambler, drunkard?"
Zhuang Yu nodded and said, "After Ye Shi became a martial spirit, his father came to him for help. Ye Shi turned his back on his relatives, causing his father to become addicted to gambling. He was chased for debts and had his legs broken, but Ye Shi didn't even bother to ask. Ye Shi also attended the same academy and had a younger sister. When his sister encountered difficulties, he never helped her and only added insult to injury."
"He doesn't even recognize his own father. It seems like there's something really wrong with Ye Shi's character!" Bai Jinle said with disgust.
Zhuang Yu nodded and said seriously, "Yes!"
Bai Chenxing listened to Zhuang Yu and Bai Jinle talking to each other without saying anything, leaning back in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking.
…………
"Has Ayi been here?" Bai Hui asked as he walked into Bai Chenxing's room.
Bai Chenxing nodded and responded, "Yeah."
"Ayi lost to Ye Shi this time, and it seems like he suffered a big blow." Bai Hui said.
Bai Chenxing said calmly, "Suffering a little loss is a good thing for him, who has always had smooth sailing. I'm just a little surprised that Ye Shi could actually surpass A Yi."
"Ayi, although he has good qualifications, he is still young. As his uncle, you should give him more guidance." Bai Hui said.
Bai Chenxing nodded and said lightly: "I know."
"Ayi, he is close to both Zhuang Yu and Jin Le. Who do you think is more suitable for him?" Bai Hui asked.
Bai Chenxing said calmly: "It's Bai Yi who wants to marry me, so naturally I'll ask him."
Bai Hui sighed softly and said, "Ayi is getting married soon, are you planning to stay alone like this forever?"
Bai Chenxing said indifferently: "There's nothing wrong with a person like me."
"The Xia family sent someone over." Bai Hui sighed lightly.
Bai Chenxing narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: Bai Hui finally got to the point. Bai Chenxing said with a little displeasure: "What are they doing here?"
"I came to apologize. Xia Ruoxue said that what happened back then was her family's decision and she was not aware of it. By the time she found out, it was too late." Bai Hui said.
Bai Chenxing sneered and said, "Really?"
Bai Hui looked at Bai Chenxing helplessly and said, "Chenxing, if you can't let her go, then forgive her. Why do this?"
Bai Chenxing frowned and said with some annoyance, "Father, I've already said it before. Xia Ruoxue and I have no relationship anymore. The Xia family thinks I've been alone for so many years just to keep myself pure for her. You're really overthinking it."
Bai Hui frowned and said, "If that's the case, then what have you been doing all these years for..."
Bai Chenxing said in annoyance: "Father, I don't want to talk about this issue any more."
Bai Hui looked at Bai Chenxing, a look of helplessness on his face, "What on earth are you thinking?"
Bai Chenxing lay in the rocking chair, his eyes empty. What was he thinking? What was he thinking...
He had been away for three years, but the person he loved had become someone else's wife and was pregnant with someone else's child.
If he could go back earlier, would everything be different?
It's too late, everything is too late...
Things in this world are changing rapidly. Who can really wait for someone for a lifetime?
"Chenxing." Bai Hui called hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Bai Chenxing asked.
"You really can't remember where you lost the family's formation book?" Bai Hui asked.
Bai Chenxing shook his head and said, "I forgot."
Bai Hui looked at Bai Chenxing and wanted to say something, but he saw that Bai Chenxing had already closed his eyes to rest.
Bai Yi sighed lightly and said, "If that's the case, then forget it."
Bai Hui walked out the door helplessly. Bai Chenxing's eyes suddenly opened, and regret, hatred, and sorrow flashed in his eyes before finally falling silent.
…………
When He Jingyue appeared with Ye Shi, Xia Ruoxue had already arrived, with her face covered with a veil.
Ye Shi looked at Xia Ruoxue and curled his lips secretly. He felt that Xia Ruoxue's veil was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it looked the same whether she covered it or not. It was really unnecessary.
"What a beauty!" Ye Shi muttered.
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes! Beautiful lady." The Bai family was very xenophobic. Bai Chenxing was stunningly beautiful back then. If Xia Ruoxue hadn't been so outstanding, she wouldn't have become Bai Chenxing's fiancée. What a pity...
Because he had more guesses about Bai Chenxing in his mind, Ye Shi couldn't help but look at Xia Ruoxue a few more times.
Xia Ruoxue glanced at Ye Shi coldly, her eyes full of disdain and disgust. She looked at Ye Shi as if she was looking at a cockroach that was not worthy of being on the table.
"Don't look around." He Jingyue took Ye Shi's hand and walked aside and said.
Ye Shi asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Xia Ruoxue hates Shuang'er." He Jingyue said.
Ye Shi frowned and asked, "Why?"
He Jingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."
He Jingyue looked at Xia Ruoxue with a little disdain in her heart. Xia Ruoxue and Bai Chenxing's engagement had been cancelled long ago, but Xia Ruoxue still regarded herself as Bai Chenxing's fiancée.
Ye Shi lowered his head and thought to himself: At first glance, she is beautiful, but upon closer inspection, she is very sarcastic and has a face that will bring bad luck to her husband. This woman has waited for more than ten years, but Bai Chenxing still won't marry her. Even if he waits for hundreds of years, Bai Chenxing probably still won't marry her. When she becomes an old woman, not only Bai Chenxing will not be willing to marry her, but other men will not be willing to marry her either.
