Wei Ying was escorted out of the bar by the five men, and they bumped into Ye Chen as he was getting out of the taxi.
“Mr. Ye,” the men respectfully greeted him.
They did not belong to Dragon Soul, but were part of a reserve team that happened to be carrying out a mission near the capital.
This was also the reason why they had arrived so quickly.
Ye Chen nodded, after which the men left. Their mission had already been accomplished, so there was naturally no need for them to stay here any longer.
“Did you drink?” Ye Chen’s voice sounded a little displeased.
Wei Ying was afraid that Ye Chen would scold her, so she quickly shook her head.
“No, I didn’t. I just came here to take a look. I don’t want to drink, really.”
“I’ll believe you then,” Ye Chen said calmly.
Wei Ying was afraid that Ye Chen would continue on this topic, so she quickly said, “Ye Chen, where have you been these past few days? I went to your place several times, but only Aunty was there.”
“I left the capital to do something, but let’s not talk about that first. I have something serious to tell you. No matter what, you have to give me an answer.”
Ye Chen’s tone became serious.
Hearing this, Wei Ying’s heart began to pound.
Was Ye Chen going to confess to her?
“What’s the matter? You said…” Wei Ying mumbled.
“You saw what happened at Yunhe Lake that day. There are some things that I haven’t had the time to explain to you. Let me ask you this. Do you want to learn martial arts? If you want, I’m willing to take you as my disciple.”
Wei Ying trembled when she heard this. She felt extremely disappointed.
She shook her head fiercely.
“My mother asked me when I was very young, but I wasn’t very interested. I’m still a girl after all. I don’t like fighting and killing. Besides, I don’t want you to be my master. I don’t want that.”
Ye Chen frowned and continued, “Then let me tell you something else. You’re different from ordinary people. You have the Fiendish Blood Cold Physique. If you don’t learn martial arts, it’s very likely that you’ll die.”
After saying this, Ye Chen noticed that the Earth Soul Mystical Stone on Wei Ying’s necklace had a small crack. It would not be able to last much longer.
“The stone on your necklace is meant to suppress your Fiendish Blood Cold Physique, but it doesn’t seem like it will last much longer.”
“To some extent, you don’t have a choice in this matter.”
Ye Chen’s tone became more and more serious. In fact, he wanted to find an appropriate time to tell Wei Ying about this, but it seemed that he could not delay any longer.
It was better to cut to the chase.
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Wei Ying’s face turned frosty. She looked into Ye Chen’s eyes, trying to tell if he was lying. However, all she saw was seriousness. Fiendish Blood Cold Physique? Death?
If this was true, then she had no choice.
At that moment, the phone in Ye Chen’s pocket rang. It was a special number.
Ye Chen ignored the call and said to Wei Ying, “I’ll give you three days to consider. No matter what, I’ll respect your choice.”
Wei Ying closed her eyes subconsciously.
Ye Chen tapped Wei Ying’s forehead and the Chilling Heart technique entered her mind.
When Wei Ying sensed this, she suddenly opened her eyes.
“This is…”
“This is the cultivation technique I’m going to teach you. If you cultivate the Chilling Heart technique, you’ll at least be able to suppress the Fiendish Blood Cold Physique.”
After Ye Chen finished giving her the explanation, he took out the phone that was still ringing and pressed the answer button. A dignified voice spoke.
“I’m in a courtyard house. There will be a car coming to pick you up soon. Since you saved Bai Lixiong, there are some things I should tell you.”
This voice undoubtedly belonged to that old man.
It seemed that he would finally obtain the information he was looking for,
“Alright.”
Ye Chen hung up. Soon, a car with a special license plate stopped in front of Ye Chen.
“Mr. Ye.”
A man got out of the car and opened the door for Ye Chen. Ye Chen recognized this man. He was the same driver who had driven him to meet the old man the last time.
Ye Chen glanced at Wei Ying and asked her to get in as well. At the same time, he said, “Bring us to Capital City University first.”
“Alright.”
At the same time, in the Lin family’s residence in Capital City, the atmosphere in the main hall was extremely solemn.
Two elders in black sat on the armchairs, while Lin Juelong and Father Lin sat respectfully below them. There was a hint of fear in their eyes.
If one looked closely, one would definitely find that there was a pattern on the necks of the two black-robed elders with terrifying auras.
A blood-red door!
The Blood Alliance!
One of the Blood Alliance elders, who was holding a folding fan, said, “This time, we came to Huaxia for two reasons. First, the Ghost Prison was broken into, and two of our Blood Alliance disciples died. The people above are very unhappy.”
He released a formless pressure and aura.
Lin Juelong’s pupils shrank, and he hurriedly said respectfully, “Sir, I’ve heard about the Ghost Prison incident. According to my recent investigations, the incident should have something to do with a young man named Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen clearly does not have the ability to accomplish that feat alone. Moreover, something there caused an earthquake that day.”
“Furthermore, someone from Huaxia’s upper echelons has been secretly threatening us recently, telling us not to touch the people around Ye Chen. There’s probably a powerful force behind this kid. Otherwise, that person would not have come to threaten us personally.”
Pa!
The Blood Alliance elder closed his folding fan. His eyes were extremely cold.
“No matter how strong the force behind that kid is, it cannot be stronger than the Blood Alliance! Also, since that person dared to threaten a disciple of the Blood Alliance, I’ll send someone to deal with him!”
When Lin Juelong heard this, his pupils constricted and he hurriedly said, “Sir, there’s no need for you to do anything. I’ll send someone to bring Ye Chen back!”
That person was not as simple as the two elders thought. If they made a move, the forces in charge of Huaxia would definitely make a move!
It would definitely be troublesome!
When the elder heard Lin Juelong’s words, his anger was somewhat placated. He continued, “Then we’ll leave this task to you. You can’t fail. This child must be brought back to the Blood Alliance for punishment.”
“As for the second matter regarding Qinling’s dragon vein, you should have heard about this matter…”
Lin Juelong nodded repeatedly.
“Sir, I heard that thousands of people died in the Qinling Mountains. Countless forces were destroyed there. No one benefited. I wonder if Sir…”
Before Lin Juelong could finish his sentence, one of the elders stood up.
“Wrong! Your information is lacking.. Someone obtained some benefits! Moreover, that person stayed inside the cave with the dragon vein for two whole days!”
