Chapter 251
"Miss, Miss." A maid stumbled in.
He Jingyue looked at the maid's flushed face, smiled, and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The maid hurriedly said, "Miss, someone is coming."
"Who's here? Why are you so excited?" He Jingyue asked with her head tilted.
"Ye Shi, oh, no, it's Bai Yanxing now! Young Master Bai is here." The maid said excitedly.
He Jingyue's face suddenly showed some joy, "He actually came." She was still considering whether to go find Ye Shi, but Ye Shi actually came to her door.
Ye Shi sat in the hall, looking around with interest.
He used to come to this place often. When he came again, the scenery remained the same, but the attitudes of the people in the Formation Tower had changed. Those who used to look down on him because of his background now treated him with awe and awe. In fact, he was more accustomed to the way those people used to have eyes that were as big as the tops of their heads.
"Master Yanxing, you're here. Your arrival really brings honor to our humble home!" He Jingyue walked out and said with a smile.
Ye Shi glanced at He Jingyue helplessly and said, "Miss He, you are slandering me!"
"Why are you here?" He Jingyue asked as she sat down leisurely.
"I'm here to take on the mission." Ye Shi said as a matter of course.
He Jingyue said happily, "It just so happens that there's a mission here, an ancient formation, which you're best at. However, this formation isn't early level seven, it's mid-level seven. It's much more difficult than the one you broke before, and I don't know..."
"The difficulty is not important. What is important is how many Yuanshi there are." Ye Shi interrupted He Jingyue and said quietly.
He Jingyue looked at Ye Shi with some suspicion and said, "Are you so short of Yuanshi?" That shouldn't be the case! Bai Chenxing is quite generous. How could he treat his son badly?
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "There's no shortage, but since Yuanshi doesn't burn my hands, the more the better."
He Jingyue looked at Ye Shi and couldn't help thinking: Although Ye Shi has become Bai Chenxing's son, his money-loving nature has not changed at all.
"Did you find Muchen when you came back this time?" He Jingyue couldn't help but ask curiously.
Ye Shi shook his head and said calmly: "No, he's gone."
He Jingyue thought to herself: As expected, how can I find someone who doesn't exist at all?
"How is the formation tower doing recently? Have any talented people appeared?" Ye Shi asked, changing the subject.
He Jingyue immediately said with great interest, "Yes! A few days ago, a sixth-level formation master named Chen Mu joined. This Chen Mu is a one-star Martial Emperor and his abilities are quite good. Of course, he can't compare to you. But, where else can you find someone as young as you with such strong formation skills?"
Ye Shi wanted to say that Muchen's formation magic was powerful, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back.
"What kind of person is Chen Mu?" Ye Shi asked curiously.
"He is calm, wise, and good at calculations. There is no level six formation he has handled that he cannot break." He Jingyue said with admiration.
Ye Shi tilted his head and looked at He Jingyue's smug face. He felt a little proud and a little sour in his heart. He said, "A person like this must be very popular and have many admirers."
He Jingyue shook her head and said, "Not really. Although Chen Mu is very powerful, it's a pity..."
Ye Shi looked at He Jingyue with some confusion.
"He's here." He Jingyue said.
Ye Shi looked towards the person outside the door, and a face that looked like it had been scalded by boiling water came into Ye Shi's eyes. Ye Shi's heart was excited. Mu Chen, it was Mu Chen.
Mu Chen walked slowly up to the two of them and said respectfully, "Greetings to Mr. Bai and Miss He."
He Jingyue smiled apologetically at Ye Shi and said, "Chen Mu is not good-looking. I guess he scared you."
Ye Shi shook his head and said disapprovingly, "No! He's fine this way. People who really like him don't care what he looks like. He makes people who like him feel safe this way."
Ye Shi glanced at Mu Chen secretly, his eyes full of excitement.
He Jingyue: "..."
"Master Tower Master, your wife feels very secure now. She must hope that you are really disfigured so that people won't always be thinking about you." Tower Spirit sneered.
"Mr. Bai, Mu Chen has great talent. I hope you can give him some guidance." He Jingyue said to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay! I'm the best teacher. Do you have any questions for me? I know a lot."
He Jingyue: "..."
"Mr. Ye, you are such a rare good man. I just have a few questions I want to ask you." Mu Chen said somewhat flattered.
"Why don't we go to the quiet room in the formation tower and discuss it in detail?" Ye Shi suggested.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay!"
The quiet room of the Formation Tower is a place for the disciples of the Formation Tower to practice in seclusion.
He Jingyue didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She glanced at Ye Shi and sent a message to Mu Chen, "Be careful with the reception."
Mu Chen nodded vaguely at He Jingyue, and Ye Shi watched their interaction silently.
…
As soon as the quiet room of the formation tower closed, Ye Shi immediately rushed forward impatiently and grabbed Mu Chen from behind.
Mu Chen sighed softly and said helplessly, "Aren't you afraid of picking up the wrong child?"
Ye Shi leaned against Mu Chen's back, tightening his grip on him a little, and murmured, "No, I'd recognize you even if you turned into ash. Besides... you just changed your face."
The tower spirit said in Muchen's head, "Master Tower Master, your wife is amazing! She would recognize you even if you turned into ash! What amazing wife do you have? You're dead."
Muchen imprisoned the tower spirit and threw it aside.
Mu Chen closed his eyes and murmured, "How have you been doing in the past six months?"
Ye Shi bit his lip. He had had a very hard time over the past six months. In fact, he had also had a very hard time when he was a child.
But when he was a child, Ye Shi didn't think much of it when he faced difficulties alone. However, once he was cared for wholeheartedly, once someone supported him all the time, once someone always put him first in everything, and suddenly lost this warmth and returned to that helpless situation again, Ye Shi felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.
"I'm fine, but I miss you very much, very much, very much." Ye Shi rested his chin on Mu Chen's shoulder, completely unable to control the excitement in his heart, and sobbed.
Mu Chen closed his eyes and said with a heartache: "I'm sorry, if I had known that I would be away from you for so long... I would not have let you go."
Thinking that Ye Shi was facing the threats from the Bai family alone, Mu Chen felt like killing someone. Fortunately, Bai Chenxing appeared in time.
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "As long as I can see you again, it doesn't matter if I work harder."
"You've lost weight." Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's thin face and couldn't help feeling distressed.
Ye Shi touched his face and said, "Really? I'll be prettier if I lose weight."
"Nonsense, I just like my stone fleshy body. I should fatten you up." Mu Chen said jokingly.
…
After the excitement of their first meeting, both of them gradually calmed down.
"What were you and He Jingyue flirting with each other for just now?" Ye Shi said as he sat opposite Mu Chen.
Mu Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Jealous girl, don't you feel safe even with the way I am now?"
Ye Shi touched Mu Chen's face and said, "There's only one thing. Mu Chen is so amazing that everyone likes him. Even though he's disfigured, there are still many people who like him."
Mu Chen's inscriptions on his face vanished, revealing his true face. "I'm not as charming as you think. The female cultivators in the Formation Tower acted as if they had seen a ghost when they saw me. Just now, He Jingyue sent me a message, telling me not to offend you. Your status is different now. Even He Jingyue has to please you."
Ye Shi shrugged and said, "Although it's good to have a powerful father, it's not comfortable to be treated with respect and trepidation everywhere."
"You don't know how lucky you are." Mu Chen shook his head.
Ye Shi told Muchen about his experiences during this period and Qu Xinyang's affairs.
"So, your father went back to find your mother and father, but he was deceived by Ye Xun and ran away?" Mu Chen said in surprise.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Mu Chen lowered his head and thought secretly: With such a stupid father, it’s no wonder that Shi Tou is not smart. It’s hereditary!
"Is Zhuang Yu a member of the Fate Clan?" Mu Chen asked.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! I heard that this race comes and goes without a trace. There are many masters in the tribe, but no one knows where their lair is."
"How much do you know about the Fate Clan?" Mu Chen continued to ask.
Ye Shi gritted his teeth and said, "My father said that the Fate Clan is good at detecting the secrets of heaven and snatching away fortunes. He also said that Zhuang Yu and I have conflicting horoscopes, and that we are natural nemesis. I..." Although his father didn't say it, Ye Shi knew that his horoscope was probably not as strong as Zhuang Yu's. If it weren't for Mu Chen, he might have been killed by Zhuang Yu without a burial place.
Mu Chen clenched his fists. Zhuang Yu was indeed very lucky. As soon as Ye Shi and Bai Chenxing recognized each other, Zhuang Yu was taken away. If he was a step later, Bai Chenxing would definitely attack Zhuang Yu.
Mu Chen lowered his head. According to what he had recently learned, Zhuang Yu's status in the Fate Clan was not low. Such a person, appearing in the foreign land, must have some ulterior motive.
He found out that the Ming clan was a very disgusting race and could fuse other people's blood.
According to the book he read, Lan Ruofeng noticed that there was something wrong with Ye Shi's blood. Ye Shi died at the hands of Lu Yao, and it was very likely that his blood was drained by Lan Ruofeng and Lu Yao, two hypocritical people.
If these people were to team up with Bai Yi and help Zhuang Yu forge her identity, it would be very likely. If Bai Yi married Bai Chenxing's "son", would Bai Chenxing still not protect this "son-in-law"?
If it is really as he guessed, then Bai Chenxing is really a complete tragedy.
Given Zhuang Yu's disposition to discard someone after using him, Bai Chenxing would be abandoned after being used up. It's possible that when he is about to die, he would know that his son had died long ago, and that he died at the hands of Zhuang Yu's mistress, and he would die with regrets.
"Mu Chen, what are you thinking about?" Ye Shi stretched out his hand in front of Mu Chen and waved it.
Mu Chen smiled and said with a sinister look: "Nothing, I was just thinking, Zhuang Yu is really lucky!"
Ye Shi nodded, somewhat reluctantly, and said, "Yes!" Lan Ruofeng was dead, Lu Yao was dead, and Zhuang Yu was still alive, always causing trouble for him.
"Don't recognize me for the time being. I suspect that the Fate Clan sent Zhuang Yu to the outer realm for the five spirit towers in Lingta Continent, and those five spirit towers are in my hands now." Mu Chen said in a deep voice.
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah! For the Five Spirits Pagoda, do you have any basis?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Not yet. It's just a hunch. However, the Five Spirits Tower is truly extraordinary. We must be careful."
Ye Shi nodded to show that he understood.
