Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This startled Ye Chen, and he became extremely focused.
It could activate two tombstones at once?
As things stood, the tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard opened in order of strength, which meant that the later ones were more terrifying than the preceding ones.
The black-robed old man’s time was almost up, but there was no movement from the fourth tombstone. Without the old man’s help, his chances of winning against Zheng Renjue and the rest of his enemies in Capital City were extremely slim.
If he had two experts by his side, then he would have nothing to fear.
“Senior, what exactly is that thing?”
Ye Chen asked the obvious question.
However, at this moment, the Samsara Graveyard was completely silent.
Forty-five minutes later, the private jet landed at the airport.
When Ye Chen and Zhu Ya got off the plane, they noticed that there were many people here, and almost all of them were martial artists.
It was obvious that they were here for the strange phenomenon happening at Thousand Peaks Mountain.
“Mr. Ye, these people are probably the first batch of people to rush over. There are many hidden experts among them. No matter what, Mr. Ye, try to remain low-key,” Zhu Ya reminded him.
Ye Chen did not say anything. He simply looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and fell into a state of deep thought. He was here on a mission, and he had to do whatever it took to get that thing.
The black clouds pressed down on the city, and the phenomenon became more and more solemn.
“Little Ya!”
At this moment, a crisp voice rang out, and a young girl walked toward Zhu Ya. When they met, the young girl immediately hugged Zhu Ya, her beautiful eyes flickering with surprise.
“Little Ya, I’ve been waiting for you to come visit for such a long time. I haven’t seen you for a year, and I’ve almost forgotten what you look like, but it seems that you are still as pretty as ever.”
The young girl hugged Zhu Ya’s waist.
Zhu Ya pouted.
“Ruoying, you’re always so frivolous. We just spoke on video call last night, alright?”
An Ruoying’s eyelashes fluttered as she said with a smile, “1 don’t care. I’m going to hug you to sleep today.”
Suddenly, she noticed Ye Chen, and looked maliciously at him as she frowned.
“Little Ya, this is… Don’t tell me he’s your boyfriend…”
Zhu Ya hurriedly waved her hand and said excitedly, “Ruoying, 1 haven’t introduced you. This is Mr. Ye. My main purpose in coming here is to accompany Mr. Ye…”
As soon as he said that, An Ruoying felt that something was amiss.
She understood Zhu Ya’s character very well. In all these years, there had never been a man who could make her panic like this. Furthermore, Zhu Ya even addressed this person as Mr. Ye?
Could he be some expert?
Impossible! The other party was only in his twenties. Even if he was a genius, he could not be that strong.
“Little Ya, didn’t I tell you to keep that thing a secret? You actually told someone else?”
An Ruoying sounded displeased.
After all, the matter regarding Thousand Peaks Mountain was of great importance, and she did not wish for anyone she did not know to be involved.
Zhu Ya hurriedly explained, “Ruoying, you’ve misunderstood. Mr. Ye knew about this a few minutes earlier than I did. He happened to be on the way, so we came together.””
An Ruoying shook her head.
“Little Ya, your lie is too ridiculous. I called you the moment the phenomenon appeared above Thousand Peaks Mountain. You said that this kid knew a few minutes earlier? Could it be that he can predict the future?”
“Forget it, I won’t talk about this with you anymore. The elders of the family said that the thing should appear at night. It’s still early, so we can head there together in the afternoon.”
“There are too many experts present, and many of those from Hui’an Province have already staked out Thousand Peaks Mountain. However, it’s worth it just to see this treasure appear.”
After she finished speaking, An Ruoying pulled Zhu Ya’s hand and prepared to leave. However, she discovered that Zhu Ya would not budge.
She was about to say something when Zhu Ya turned to Ye Chen and asked, “Mr. Ye, what do you think?”
Hmm?
Was this Zhu Ya out of her mind? Why was she asking this brat for his opinion?
Ye Chen looked at the peak of the mountain under the dark clouds and pondered for a few seconds before saying, “Zhu Ya, you should go to your friend’s house. I will head to the mountain to take a look.”
This matter concerned the Samsara Graveyard, so he could not afford to be careless.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ya looked at An Ruoying without any hesitation and apologized, “Ruoying, 1’11 come visit your house another day. I want to accompany Mr. Ye to Thousand Peaks Mountain.”
What the hell?
An Ruoying was stunned. Why was she acting like this? Given her status, she had the qualifications to be arrogant toward anyone and everyone, yet at this moment, she was actually being subservient to this brat?
An Ruoying looked deeply at Ye Chen and said, “Since you want to go, I’ll accompany you there as well.”
She was curious about what kind of person this brat was to make Zhu Ya behave like this. Zhu Ya had not even hesitated to reject her!
An Ruoying made arrangements for an off-road vehicle, and the three of them headed straight for Thousand Peaks Mountain.
Hui’an Province was a mountainous region, and Thousand Peaks Mountain was one of the three famous mountains in Hui’an Province.
The lush green peaks of the mountain overlapped with each other, looking majestic and magnificent.
The off-road vehicle stopped halfway up the mountain at a set of steep stairways. From here on out, they had to make the journey on foot.
An Ruoying and Zhu Ya both had foundations in ancient martial arts, so this was not a difficult task. As they journeyed up, Ye Chen observed and analyzed everything around him.
He could also clearly sense countless cold gazes staring at him, ones that were either filled with ill intentions, or fear.
It seemed that this treasure would not be easy to obtain, and that he would definitely have to fight for it.
While Ye Chen was deep in thought, An Ruoying stopped in her tracks and looked at Ye Chen, who was a little further behind.
She sneered. “Little Ya, this Mr. Ye’s physical fitness is too poor. He can’t even compare to the two of us. Speaking of which, who is this guy? Your gigolo?”
Zhu Ya glanced at Ye Chen and said seriously, “Ruoying, there are some things you shouldn’t say. Mr. Ye is very powerful.”
“Ptui!”
An Ruoying laughed out loud.
“Little Ya, men are all good at boasting. You must have been bewitched by this man. If he’s powerful, then I’m a god…”
“Little Ya, I advise you to keep some distance from that man. Some men pretend to be deep and put up a facade. Once they trick you into bed, their true colors will be revealed.”
Zhu Ya glanced at An Ruoying and shook her head, not wanting to explain..
