Chapter 38: Liu Yu'er

  Ji couldn't help but listen to Ye Chen's words full of doubts, and nodded with a smile.

  Ye Chen looked at Ji Wu's helpless appearance and fell into deep thought. To say that having Ji Wu as a teacher would mean his future prospects would be bright, but Ye Chen had his own concerns. He had too many secrets: the inheritance from God, the fusion of dragon bones, and the secret room in the Lianyun Sect's mysterious forest. Any one of these things, if discovered by Ji Wu, would likely make him extremely jealous. Moreover, Ye Chen was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness. When he accepted the inheritance, he had already acknowledged the God as his master and would absolutely not worship anyone else as his teacher.

  After careful consideration, Ye Chen still decided not to take him as his master.

  Ye Chen bowed slightly to Ji, then shook his head and said respectfully: "Master, what virtue or ability do I have to become your disciple? If I were to become your disciple, I'm afraid it would tarnish your reputation!"

  Ji was stunned, he hadn't expected Ye Chen to refuse him. He was the master of Lianyun Sect after all, and even if it wasn't an inner sect disciple, just hearing that he wanted to take them as a disciple would make them immediately agree.

  However, Ye Chen had previously been rejected by even the gods, let alone being the young master of the small Lingyun Sect, Qi Wu. If Qi Wu were to find out that the person standing in front of him, who was as insignificant as an ant in his eyes, had actually refused the god's offer to become a disciple, he would probably be so shocked that he would slap Ye Chen to death!

  Ji looked at Ye Chen with some confusion and asked softly: "Why?"

  Yechen bowed apologetically: "Master, Yechen has self-awareness!"

  Ji couldn't bear to look at Ye Chen's determined expression, and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, I won't force you. This time they framed you again, so here's what we'll do - go to the inner sect's library and pick up a martial skill book as compensation!"

  Ye Chen pretended to be overjoyed and hastily bowed to Ji Wu: "Thank you, Sect Master!" However, Ye Chen didn't feel anything in his heart. After all, he had a secret room where all the martial arts of Yunzong were stored, and they were all complete.

  "Alright!" Ji couldn't bear to look at Ye Chen's expression, and smiled slightly: "Then you go down first!"

  "Yes!"

  Ye Chen bowed slightly towards Ji and then turned around and walked away

  Just as Ye Chen had just left, a black shadow appeared beside Ji Wu.

  "Heiying looked at Ye Chen's receding back and asked in a hoarse voice, 'Unwilling, why did you take an outer sect disciple as your apprentice?'"

  Ji couldn't help but glance at the black shadow beside him, a hint of respect in his eyes: "Master!"

  Master!

  The dark figure in front of him was actually Qi Wu's master, who was also the previous generation's Lianyun Sect Master, Feng Wuzhan!

  Immediately afterwards, Ji hastily stood up and bowed respectfully.

  The wind was blowing fiercely against Ji, who couldn't help but wave his hand: "You are now the master of a sect, and even if you want to bow, it's me who should be giving you the bow!"

  Upon hearing this, Ji looked somewhat taken aback and hastily said: "No... no! I am the master of this sect, you are still my master!"

  "Haha!" Feng Wujian smiled slightly: "Speak up! Why did you want to take him as your disciple?"

  Ji couldn't help but look in the direction Ye Chen had gone, and said: "Firstly, this person has a very good relationship with Shen Xiang, and getting close to him will have great benefits for our Lianyun Sect's development! Secondly, Wind is currently lacking an opponent! Only by letting Wind meet a true opponent can he grow!"

  Feng Wu Xian listened to Ji Wu Nai's explanation, nodded slightly, and then furrowed his brow: "Last time you told me that you found some traces of the dragon, asking me to come back quickly?"

  As soon as he mentioned that matter, Ji hastily said: "Yes, Master, a few days ago, a large pit appeared in the dense forest behind the mountain. When I went to detect it, I smelled the dragon's scent from the dust inside!"

  He hastily pulled out the dusty thing from behind him and handed it over to Feng Wuyan.

  Feng Wu Zhan hastily took over the dust from Ji Wu's hand, put it to his nose and smelled it, after a moment, he revealed a shocked expression, both hands started trembling slightly, his voice became somewhat stuttering due to excitement: "It...it...is the smell of dragon!"

  Feng Wuyan's face lit up with excitement as he stared at Ji Wu, hastily saying: "Investigate, you must not find out, before you do, I'll stay hidden in Lianyun Sect!"

  A bow of respect that cannot be returned: "Yes!"

  Feng Wuzhan nodded in response to Ji Wu's words and slowly disappeared into thin air on the spot.

  ————

  Ye Chen came out of the attic with a smile on his face, muttering to himself: "Not bad, suffering a bit of injustice and earning some martial skills!" He then looked around, trying to find someone to ask where the hidden book pavilion was.

  "It's you!"

  A voice full of temptation came from beside Ye Chen.

  At the sound, Ye Chen slowly turned his head and looked at the young woman standing beside him with a puzzled expression: "Who are you?"

  The woman wore a cyan cheongsam, her skin was fair and radiant, with a head of shiny black hair scattered over her shoulders, extremely beautiful, it was the woman who was called Liu Yuer by Xu Feng in the dense forest that day.

  Ye Chen looked at such a beautiful woman, but was slightly distracted.

  Liu Yuer looked at Ye Chen's expression, secretly discontented in her heart: Are all men the same! However, on the surface, she still had a charming smile: "Are you stupid? I'm talking to you!"

  Ye Chen heard Liu Yuer's reminding voice and slightly woke up, apologetically glancing at Liu Yuer: "Sorry!"

  Liu Yuer smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten? We met once in the dense forest!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly remembered that the woman was standing beside Xufeng in the dense forest that day. As soon as he recalled her good relationship with Xufeng, a wave of disgust arose in Ye Chen's heart.

  Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed, his tone changed in an instant, and he said somewhat impatiently: "I remembered, what do you want from me?"

  Liu Yueru furrowed her brow and looked at Ye Chen, who was changing his expression faster than flipping through a book. She said discontentedly: "You're such a person, how can you change your face so quickly?!"

  "A man is known by the company he keeps!"

  After finishing speaking, Ye Chen also didn't bother to talk to Liu Yuer again, and turned around to walk towards a distant place.

  "What a strange man, he was fine just now, how did his face change so suddenly? And why would Xu Feng be jealous of such a weak cultivator with a broken body and threefold cultivation? Why could he dodge Xu Feng's courtesy with his broken body and threefold cultivation?" At this moment, Liu Yuer looked at the back of Ye Chen who was leaving, and suddenly a thought arose in her heart, she wanted to investigate the man in front of her, get in touch with him, and understand him.

  But what Ke Liu Yu'er didn't know was that such thoughts were very dangerous.

  Ye Chen felt somewhat unhappy all the way, casually found someone to ask, and finally found the library located at the northeast corner of the inner gate.

  Ye Chen walked slowly to the outside of the library pavilion, looked at the three-story building, smiled slightly, and walked in.

  As soon as he entered the door, Ye Chen was stopped by a young man: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you inside the inner gate?"

  Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, then clasped his hands together in front of the young man and said respectfully: "I am Ye Chen!"

  "Ye Chen?" The young man furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and then said with a swaggering expression: "Don't know him, the Hidden Book Pavilion can't be casually entered!"

  Ye Chen didn't get angry and still smiled slightly at him: "I was specially allowed by the Sect Master to come here and choose a martial skill book!"

  "Is the host allowed?" The young man frowned: "Wait a minute, I'll go confirm it!"

  The young man finished speaking and immediately turned around, sprinting rapidly to the side with incredible speed. Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock as he muttered to himself: "Is this the power of the Gathering Qi Realm?"

  Ye Chen didn't wait for long, the young man returned again, looking at Ye Chen and slightly nodding: "Go in, left is martial skills, right is internal energy!" Afterwards, he also ignored Ye Chen and walked away to one side.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and walked directly inside.

  Ye Chen's eyes widened as soon as he entered. Books! There were too many books! As far as the eye could see, each layer had at least hundreds of books!

  Ye Chen quickly recovered from the shock and didn't stop, directly heading to the second floor. In Ye Chen's mind, since he had to choose one anyway, he might as well pick a good one.

  Ye Chen walked towards the second floor with a smile, but unexpectedly, no matter how hard he tried, he always felt that there was an invisible barrier in front of him that he couldn't pass through.

  Ye Chen stared at the incomplete barrier in front of him and let out a cry of discontent: "Damn it! Just give me one layer of martial skills, will you!"

  Then, Ye Chen complained for a while on the spot and turned to walk towards a place with martial skills. Anyway, he had come all this way, so he couldn't return empty-handed!

  "Kai Shan Zhang Wu Ji Yi Pin, Ben Shan Quan Wu Ji Yi Pin, Sui Shi Jiao Wu Ji Yi Pin, Yi Pin...Yi Pin...Still Yi Pin!"

  Translation:

  "Open Mountain Palm martial art first grade, Rushing Mountain Fist martial art first grade, Shattering Stone Foot martial art first grade, First grade...First grade...Still first grade!"

  Ye Chen's brain grew bigger the faster he went, all of them were top-notch martial skills, and he himself was fundamentally useless. He had to know that in the secret rooms deep in the forest, even the lowest ones were second-rate martial skills!

  "Never mind, just take any one, and then exchange it for herbs with Zhuge Wu Xin later!"

  So Ye Chen casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf, took a casual glance and only knew it was a first-class martial skill, but didn't look at it carefully, after all, Ye Chen didn't care about this either!

  After finding Wujixia, Ye Chen didn't stay inside for long either. After all, there was nothing that caught his eye.

  Ye Chen came out of the library and nodded at the young man guarding the door before heading towards the outer gate.

  All the way, Ye Chen looked at the inner door disciples' cultivation with a burst of envy. However, Ye Chen believed that with his many strange encounters, he would surely stand at the pinnacle of the world in the future.

  Ye Chen rushed out and ran towards his own courtyard. He wanted to tell Shen Xiang that he was fine, fearing that she would worry about him!

  "Xīn ér!" -> "Dear child!"

  Ye Chen looked at his room door open and knew Shen Xiang was waiting for him inside, with a smiling face loudly shouting.

  "Brother Chen!"

  Just as Ye Chen had thought, Shen Xian was still here waiting for him.

  Ye Chen hurried over with a smiling face: "Xin'er, I'm fine!"

  "It's all right as long as nothing is wrong! It's all right as long as nothing is wrong!"

  Just then, Shen Xiang suddenly remembered something and smiled slightly at Ye Chen, saying: "By the way, Brother Chen, Xie Wu came to find you earlier!"

  "Unintentional?" Ye Chen asked in puzzlement: "What did he come to me for?"

  "He seems to be saying that there's a good medicinal herb!"

  "Medicine?" Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Shen Xiang, "Let's go find him and see what good medicine he can give me. It just so happens that I have something for him!"
