Chen Xue smiled, what kind of talk was this? Every year, a few innocent young girls had to die; it was the will of heaven.
If it was their time to die, even with heavenly powers, it would be no use. As the saying goes: "When it's your time to die, you face the sky; if you don't die, you celebrate another year."
Seeing Chen Xue's strong competitive spirit, Ye Tiancheng indulged her. Arguing with this girl further would truly leave him helpless.
After all, how could he contend with her dominance and stubbornness?
Whatever she wanted, she got. However, the hidden figures here were no trivial matter, and he had to protect this little girl with absolute certainty.
Later, when he visited Chen Xue's family, they could exchange favors.
The key to relationships between people lies in mutual benefit.
When benefits are reciprocal, they create a snowball effect.
The poor remain poor because they cannot grasp the connections of the powerful.
The rich grow richer because they control a network of connections.
This allows them to form a monopoly and thus become increasingly wealthy.
Ye Tiancheng deeply understood this principle, which was why he had to protect Chen Xue and ensure her safety.
This way, his future interests would be looked after by Chen Xue's family.
Just as Ye Tiancheng was contemplating this, the air suddenly rippled, and a powerful killing intent surged towards him.
"Swish, swish!"
An RPG flew towards them, its piercing shriek echoing through the air.
"Be careful!" Ye Tiancheng, having dealt with RPGs before, possessed extensive experience. Chen Xue, on the other hand, encountering an RPG for the first time, panicked like a frightened chick, trembling uncontrollably.
Initially, she had thought these people who controlled the traditional Chinese medicine market were merely thugs and riffraff.
Who would have imagined they possessed RPGs?
Ye Tiancheng, having cultivated the Soul Refining Art, possessed immense speed and strength. In an instant, he pushed Chen Xue away…
Chen Xue lost her balance and fell forward.
If she had just fallen, her life might have been saved, but her beautiful face could have been ruined.
Ye Tiancheng once again employed a ground-hugging flying technique, his body low to the ground, channeling his internal energy to his feet. He shot forward like a rocket. As Ye Tiancheng neared Chen Xue, he extended his right hand and embraced her in a powerful hug.
Ye Tiancheng continued to surge forward. In that moment of suspense, a massive fiery cloud erupted behind them.
The exploding RPG projectile, along with the flying debris and shockwave, covered an area of over a hundred square meters.
The deafening explosion and the immense fiery cloud turned Chen Xue deathly pale.
Her previous composure and calmness vanished completely.
After about three to four seconds, Chen Xue finally cried out loudly, "Oh my god, you scared me to death!"
"Just now you were acting tough, wanting to walk ahead of me. I'm the most tired person here. If it weren't for our future cooperation, I'd have genuinely liked to see you get hit by that RPG!"
Ye Tiancheng's words angered Chen Xue.
Did she mean that in Ye Tiancheng's eyes, only profit mattered?
"Profit is naturally the best. In this world, talking about emotions is all pale and powerless. At least in my worldview, money is more important than anything. Those who live romantically love affection; those who live pragmatically think of money."
"You…"
Chen Xue hadn't expected Ye Tiancheng to be this kind of person.
"I'm truly sorry, I've disappointed you," Ye Tiancheng said with a smile.
"What's the big deal..." Chen Xue didn't understand what this guardian was doing. Thinking about these things was exhausting.
Because these Black-Clad Society members wouldn't give up easily, right?
They were ruthless in their actions; once they set their minds to something, they showed no mercy.
In that case, it would truly cause significant trouble.
Unable to process her thoughts, how could she engage in the next round of battle with Ye Tiancheng?
These Black-Clad Society members should not have been let go earlier.
"Didn't the Chen family tell you?" Chen Xue asked. "I'm worried those people will definitely do something heartbreaking."
"What are you talking about?"
"No matter where the problem lies, whether you can solve it yourself is what truly matters…"
"The greatest thing is to make them lose hope. As long as their hope is extinguished, everything becomes easy to handle."
These words were truly melancholic…
After all, the Black-Clad Society members were hidden here. If they acted rashly, they would face a cruel reality: being eliminated by the enemy.
These were the elites of the Black-Clad Society; they showed no mercy in their actions. These people were truly cruel; they were capable of anything.
Facing such people, his heart felt a sense of desolation.
Regardless of what happened, it was enough to remember certain things; why speak them aloud and cause widespread panic?
"Didn't Luo Da already find him? Why do we still need to search for Luo Da?"
"Because the Luo Da that Su Tiancheng found was a fake. The other party had already replaced the person," Ye Tiancheng said helplessly. "This guy is always flustered when doing anything, never steady."
"Experiencing storms reveals your true capabilities."
"Why are you talking such nonsense?" Seeing him say that, Chen Xue was very angry. This was because the Su family and the Chen family had colluded.
"Don't you know that this world has entered an era of vicious cycles?" Ye Tiancheng said worriedly. "The decline of an era is related to our hearts. Now, rituals are broken and music is ruined… the world will soon fall into chaos."
"Is that so?"
"Yes," Ye Tiancheng said without a doubt. "Look at how these treacherous and cunning villains are so successful, while the truly honest people cannot survive. When this unfairness reaches a certain point, and these honest people can no longer bear this era, that will be the time of great upheaval."
Ye Tiancheng's words made Chen Xue feel a sense of impending death.
Her heart felt as if it were about to collapse.
In such a situation, such things were almost not frightening at all.
It was precisely this that caused endless distress in people's hearts.
The Black-Clad Society members saw Ye Tiancheng chatting and laughing and found it strange. What was wrong with this person? Wasn't he worried about dying at all?
He was actually acting so calmly in front of them!
"I don't know about that either. If you want to know, it's truly a very, very difficult thing…" Chen Xue was fabricating stories about him, holding a negative opinion of Ye Tiancheng, considering him a complete idiot.
Only an idiot would do things that were so annoying, leading to the regret of not having met him before marriage.
"Truly an idiot!"
"Yes, only an idiot would think an idiot would come to die." At this moment, a sharp voice was heard, undoubtedly from that person.
It was the biggest boss from the Black-Clad Society.
"This guy is so annoying. We were chatting, why are you yelling?"
"Because those who dislike yelling are already dead." The guy didn't seem to consider this a sad matter at all. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Why was this guy so unpleasant?
Was there anything major going on?
There would always be someone who would pick a fight over trivial matters, always looking for trouble.
"You guy in black, I order you, stop talking so much nonsense. Now we want to tell you something that you won't even know how you died."
"Heh heh…"
It seemed their evil was not enough?
"Yes, without the divine stone and the great green snake's help, you're just trash…"
The guy had no idea that his danger was imminent. If he truly crossed Ye Tiancheng, he was truly courting death.
A person courting death yet unwilling to admit it.
It was truly annoying.
But even so, what could Ye Tiancheng do?
He could only act according to his own stance and get entangled in his own problems. This would create a certain burden.
In this way, the problem became very significant.
Because they were well aware that dealing with a bunch of idiots would inevitably cause a great burden.
To outsiders, these things were a very strange setup, but to Ye Tiancheng, the reason the Black-Clad Society members wanted to fight for profit in this city was because their hearts were filled with infinite darkness that was endlessly extending.
Therefore, in their view, certain issues were truly not issues at all. But in Ye Tiancheng's view, certain issues were indeed issues, because the side effects these issues would bring were difficult to explain clearly and understand in words. Ultimately, many things changed in an instant without anyone noticing.
These changes were truly difficult for Ye Tiancheng to express in words.
"This is truly an immeasurable harm. Those guys are迟迟不肯前来迎战 (hesitating to come and fight), I suspect they are afraid?"
"Probably. After hearing my reputation, they must have lost their courage, right?" Ye Tiancheng also felt this way; otherwise, these people wouldn't have dared to openly come and fight Ye Tiancheng.
They knew they were no match, so they naturally had to restrain their arrogant demeanor.
If they were no match, they naturally wouldn't dare to hold back, which indicated that a greater conspiracy was about to unfold.
The next moment, his heart felt as if it would collapse.
Fighting against this guy, Ye Tiancheng, he had no chance of winning at all.
Instead of wasting words with him, it would be better to make him understand that truly fighting him would come at the cost of death.
Unfortunately, some people really didn't understand. In this situation, what else could they do?
They could only be forced to accept everything before them…
