Mb Båishéng now understood what Yang Chen meant.
Yang Chen’s meaning is clear, that he still has some strength left to show and wants Mil Båishéng to wait and see.
This made Mil Båishéng very interested.
In fact, Yang Chen’s approach had wiped out his only concern.
If he didn’t perform well enough in the knockout competition, it would be difficult for him to take on this position. Mb Båishéng considered this but trusted his judgment.
As for Yang Chen, he saw through Mtl Båishéng’s various manipulations but neither agrees nor disagrees with him.
Now, Mil Båishéng wanted to see how his intuition played out and how Yang Chen would perform in the knockout competition.
With that thought, Mb Båishéng finished his tea and stood up: “I’ve finished my tea, Yang Chen. In the knockout competition, I hope you can perform even better than I imagine!”
As his words fell, Mb Båishéng’s figure flashed, and the air seemed to ripple for a moment before his figure disappeared.
Describing him as a dragon with a hidden head and a hidden tail wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Seeing this, Yang Chen took a deep breath.
By finishing his tea, Mtl Båishéng showed that he was determined to win Yang Chen over.
Yang Chen asked curiously, “Rainbow, can you tell Mil Båishéng’s Martial Arts Cultivation?”
“I didn’t dare to observe it myself, so I asked the Elders to secretly observe it.
Mb Båishéng’s Martial Arts Cultivation has reached the later stage of the True Martial Realm. We didn’t look closely, otherwise, he would easily detect us,” Rainbow replied apprehensively.
Yang Chen nodded, “You did the right thing!”
“Young Master Yang, someone else is coming, it’s Elder Qian from Ming Emperor Sect!” Rainbow suddenly warned.
Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, and looked ahead to see Elder Qian from the Ming Emperor Sect approaching leisurely.
Looking at Elder Qian, Yang Chen remained calm and did not mention inviting him to sit down: “Oh, may I know who you are, Your Excellency?”
Hearing Yang Chen’s rhetorical question, how could Elder Qian not realize Yang Chen was putting on airs?
In fact, Yang Chen did have the capital to put on airs now.
He sighed, cupping one hand in the other in greeting, “Yang Chen, my young friend, the mistake is all mine. The grievances between you and our Ming Emperor Sect were all due to Liu Taixing. I was also angered by the Dazzling Mind Bell. Since the grudges have been formed, there is little meaning in judging right or wrong now. Elder Qian does not want the Dazzling Mind Bell anymore, and Liu Taixing has been killed by you.”
“Moreover, you have killed many Outer Sect Disciples who deserved it, so the anger should be gone. Therefore, I hope that our past grievances can be turned into friendship.”
Upon hearing Elder Qian’s candid statement to resolve their past issues, Yang Chen couldn’t help but regard him more highly.
He glanced at Elder Qian calmly, then said, “Elder Qian, please sit down. Ming
Yue, serve the tea!”
Seeing this, Elder Qian, realizing that Yang Chen had agreed to let bygones be bygones, quickly sat down with a smile, “Young Master Yang’s generosity to let go of past grudges really makes this old man feel ashamed. Actually, my purpose in coming here today is…”
“Elder Qian, there is no need to say anything more. Before resolving the previous issue, I don’t think anyone would be interested in considering joining the Ming Emperor Sect,” Yang Chen replied with a light wave of his sleeve, his refusal plainly displayed.
“No, Young Master Yang…” Elder Qian widened his eyes. He didn’t want the Dazzling Mind Bell anymore.
He also didn’t care about Liu Taixing’s death.
What more did Yang Chen want?
Yang Chen held the tea, gently shaking it, then said solemnly, “Elder Qian, your willingness to let the matter go shows your sincerity. However, sincerity alone is not enough. Because Liu Taixing was not killed by me, and I never took your Dazzling Mind Bell! How can I let it go with you?”
“What!” Elder Qian’s expression changed, “This…”
“Elder Qian should understand that at this point, I have no need to deceive you,” Yang Chen said indifferently.
How could Elder Qian dare to question Yang Chen’s words?
Among the three sects and six factions, even the Canghai Sect and the Yuanshan Sect have tried to win Yang Chen over. As long as Yang Chen is willing, he can become a respected figure in the blink of an eye.
Even in front of Elder Qian, Yang Chen could tell the Ming Emperor Sect that he had killed one of their Outer Sect Disciples and taken a broken treasure. The Ming Emperor Sect would have nothing to say.
An Outer Sect Disciple and a broken treasure were not significant issues at all.
Elder Qian brooded for a moment, “Young Master Yang, did you really not kill Liu Taixing?
“I was framed,” shrugged Yang Chen, “It’s a pity that Elder Qian didn’t investigate carefully, otherwise, you should have found many suspicions in it, right?”
Without mentioning these, Elder Qian’s mind hadn’t turned around yet, but with these reminders, Elder Qian began to feel that something was wrong.
“Young Master Yang, rest assured that if you were truly framed, our Ming Emperor Sect will definitely find justice for you. We will not let anyone frame you, and if you have found any clues…” Elder Qian hurriedly asked.
Yang Chen secretly laughed, thinking that Elder Qian was clever in asking for clues from him.
Since Elder Qian had asked, he naturally wouldn’t mind answering.
In fact, he only wanted to get rid of the suspicions placed on him by agreeing to let bygones be bygones.
Then, Yang Chen tapped the side of his chair and said slowly, “Who was the disciple that Liu Taixing was with when he died?”
Hearing this, Elder Qian hurriedly said, “It was the Outer Sect Female Disciple,
Wen Zi. She’s quite a beauty. If Young Master Yang is interested in her, I believe she would be more than willing to throw herself at you.”
Elder Qian was wrong, thinking that Yang Chen had taken a fancy to Wen Zi. This made Yang Chen shake his head, “Elder Qian, don’t you understand yet?”
Elder Qian was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, “Young
Master Yang, do you mean…”
“I’ll only tell you this. This is your Ming Emperor Sect’s business, and I don’t want to get involved. I have given you the clues I have. If Elder Qian wants to investigate and really let bygones be bygones, I’m sure you understand what to do,” Yang Chen said slowly.
Thinking about helping Yang Chen resolve the suspicions on him so Yang Chen could consider joining the Ming Emperor Sect, and remembering his Sect Leader’s fury, Elder Qian steeled himself.
wen Zi?
So the root cause of everything was just a little Outer Sect Female Disciple. It seems that he really needs to investigate this matter thoroughly!
