Chapter 28: Farewell, Willow Eyebrows (Second Update)
The sky was getting brighter, Ye Chen gazed at the sword on his back, smiled wryly, and it seemed he still had to make a trip to the market.
The news of Luo Jue's death must have spread gradually, and Ye Chen naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to head to the Sword Pavilion now. After slightly tidying up his hair, he put on a different black martial robe, with an almost imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth. Originally extremely handsome, Ye Chen stood out even more among the pedestrians.
What annoyed Ye Chen along the way was precisely Huo Qilin, who could clearly use Zhuque fire to change the shape of his sword but had not told him yet.
Under Ye Chen's strong demand, the sword that was originally obtained from a Qi Wu Realm strongman also changed under the scorching of Zhu Que fire. Not only did its quality improve, but its shape also became extremely beautiful. Therefore, Ye Chen is no longer afraid of being recognized by the original appearance of the sword.
Occasionally, there were girls sending flirtatious glances from the side. Upon seeing this, Ye Chen smiled proudly to himself, it seemed that being handsome was still widely welcomed whether in his past life or present one.
However, many girls would immediately avert their gaze when Ye Chen wore his usual martial attire. Ye Chen smiled wryly and thought to himself: "Damn it, the girls in this world are just as pragmatic as they were in my past life. It seems that only strength is king, without it, one can only be destined for a mediocre fate!"
Li Jiajian's sword pavilion is absolutely not suitable for selling swords now, while the sword pavilion Ye Chen is heading to now is the largest in Luoxia City. However, Ye Chen never wanted to come to this sword pavilion because its owner is none other than the Liu family, whom Ye Chen considers his sworn enemies.
Standing in front of the Liu family's sword pavilion, looking at the majestic signboard, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, recalling the scene of his first encounter with the Liu family. Ye Chen couldn't help but admire his own temperament back then, being able to hold his breath in that situation. This move undoubtedly brought another wave of disdain from Huo Qilin.
"Get out of the way!" Just as Ye Chen was admiring himself, a sudden cold voice startled him out of his self-admiration. Although the road ahead was flat and smooth, at this moment Ye Chen had undoubtedly blocked the path. He shrugged helplessly, intending to step aside, but in the next instant, Ye Chen's figure suddenly froze.
Two figures suddenly appeared in Ye Chen's line of sight, a man and a woman. The one speaking was the girl, wearing a pale pink dress that reached the ground, with a slender waist cinched by a cloud-patterned belt. The dress accentuated her originally slender figure even more, and her delicate features, combined with the flirtatious glint in her eyebrows, made her look even more stunning as she leaned intimately against the young man beside her.
A slender white martial robe set off the young man's even more handsome appearance, but the disdain between his eyebrows gave people a proud attitude.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Ye Chen hadn't expected that this suddenly appearing girl was actually his fiancée Liu Mei. He looked calmly at Liu Mei's delicate face and slightly protruding chest, nodding slightly. Although he didn't have a good impression of Liu Mei, he had to admit that she was indeed a beautiful young woman.
"What are you looking at!" The willow eyebrow stared at Ye Chen's ignoring appearance, and suddenly the willow eyebrow stood upright, the long whip in her hand made a cracking sound, and it turned into a black shadow, fiercely swinging towards Ye Chen.
Just as the whip was about to reach Ye Chen's body, Ye Chen lazily yawned and shook his right arm. His right hand quickly grasped the whip and immediately shook again. The whip continued to vibrate and slipped out of Liu Mei's hand, causing her to involuntarily take a few steps forward. Her hands, which had been hooked around the young man's arm, also slid open.
With a casual flick of his whip, Ye Chen slightly shrugged and curled the corner of his mouth: "My fiancée, it's been a long time since we last met, is this how you welcome me?"
The ordinary words fell into the ears of Liu Mei like a thunderbolt on a clear day, her figure shook, and she looked at Zhao Ye Chen in disbelief. Still, it was the same dark eyes, with an imperceptible smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said indifferently: "How is it you? This isn't a place where you should appear!"
Liu Mei's eyes, gazing at Ye Chen, were visibly filled with a hint of disgust. No matter how she resisted, her family insisted on marrying her off to this good-for-nothing, which was undoubtedly a blot on her life. As a result, every time she saw Ye Chen, Liu Mei couldn't help but feel a sense of aversion towards this young man who didn't even care about his own dignity.
"I'm free to go wherever I want, you have no right to control me!" Ye Chen slightly shrugged his shoulders and frowned with disgust: "Besides, you're my fiancée now, don't you think it's very improper for a woman like you to be so intimate with other men?"
Liu Mei does not acknowledge Ye Chen as her fiancé, and Ye Chen would never admit it either. However, the traditional notion of their past life absolutely forbids a woman from being unchaste.
"Your...!" Her eyebrows and facial expression changed suddenly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a strange color. She immediately became furious, her long arm shaking, her chest heaving constantly, pointing at Ye Chen, she shouted: "Ye Chen, you must remember your identity! I am Miss Liu, while you are just a useless person from the Ye family. There is no way between us, give up!"
"I never intended to marry you anyway!" Ye Chen helplessly shrugged his shoulders, narrowed his eyes and pouted: "If you still have some self-awareness, then go tell your old man to cancel the engagement! I don't care either way!"
Hu Qilin was speechless for a moment, and then the playful voice exploded in Ye Chen's mind: "Little boy, I didn't expect you to be so chivalrous!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled wryly. That man would allow his own woman to make him wear a green hat, even though Liu Mei was only nominally his woman.
The young man in white walked up step by step, and stood beside Liu Mei. His cold eyes moved back and forth on Ye Chen's body from time to time, then he said indifferently: "You little brat, you are the waste Ye Chen that Ye Tian mentioned. I can spare your life today because of Ye Tian's face, now get lost!"
Ye Tian's heart slightly stirred, the young man in front of him obviously knew Ye Tian. A glance at the family crest on the youth's chest made him pause, that crest was actually the emblem of the Luoshui City's top three aristocratic families, the Luo Family. It seemed that the young man before him must be a young noble from the Luo Family.
"Get out of here! If anyone should leave, it's you. I, Young Master Ye, don't have the leisure to play with you!" He withdrew his gaze and said slowly and clearly in a very natural tone.
The young man's proud smile suddenly froze, his voice turned icy, and he said with a gloomy face: "You dare to say that again!"
Not fearing the young man's gaze in the slightest, Ye Chen's long arm shook, his eyes also becoming icy cold. His right middle finger suddenly pointed upwards, then swung down, pointing at the young man as he shouted: "You really want to know if I have seed?"
The young man sneered and immediately looked down his nose, saying: "You little brat, your fiancée is now my girlfriend. If I were you, I'd be furious and beat me up badly, but you're not, so do you have any guts?"
"Firstly, she's not worth my anger! Secondly, you're not worth my effort!" Ye Chen's face remained calm, his voice crystal clear as he spoke slowly and deliberately: "Ask your sister when you get home whether I have a temper or not!"
"You!" The young man did not expect Ye Chen to be completely unangry, and suddenly shouted coldly.
But the next moment, the young man's voice came to an abrupt halt, and Ye Chen's gaze, sharp as a sword, made him feel like he was being stared at by a venomous snake.
He slowly took a step forward with his right foot, his cold gaze swept across Liu Mei's face and immediately fell on the young man's face. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "This is between me and Liu Mei, you have no right to interfere. Let me tell you, as long as I, Ye Chen, am around, she can't be with any other man, including you!"
The voice was icy cold, like a winter breeze that made the young man shiver involuntarily.
Ye Chen didn't notice the young man's reaction, turned around and slowly walked towards the Sword Pavilion, then stopped abruptly, with his back to Liu Mei: "If you want to find someone, find a good one! Being intimidated by a useless person's gaze, can this kind of person be considered a man? Liu Mei, is your vision really that poor?"
Regardless of Liu Mei's reaction, Ye Chen continued to move forward. It was only now that he discovered the title "Trash" was actually useful, and when used to attack people, it could instantly kill everything.
