"Thank you, brother, for saving my life. May I know your name? I hope to repay you in the future!"
Zhao Muyang walked to the front of Yang Cheng and glanced at Yang Cheng's face.
Yang Cheng picked up the bottle and drank a mouthful of strong liquor. He waved his hand impatiently, "No need … go away …"
As he spoke, he directly pushed Zhao Muyang away and continued walking towards the end of the street.
However, he had only taken a few steps when Zhao Muyang suddenly shouted, "Brother Xiao!!?"
Yang Cheng was stunned and stood still.
Zhao Muyang was overjoyed and clapped his hands, "That's right! It's Brother Xiao! "
When he shouted, Zhao Ting and Lan Fei were also stunned. They asked in disbelief, "What's going on?"
The three of them quickly surrounded Yang Cheng and looked at Yang Cheng from head to toe.
Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said to Zhao Muyang, "Who do you think I am?"
Zhao Muyang was full of confidence and said, "Don't hide it, Brother Xiao … Oh no, I should call you Brother Yang, Benefactor Yang … Hehe …"
This time, Yang Cheng felt even more strange. He should not have exposed his identity, how did Zhao Muyang find out?
"Don't feel surprised, Brother Yang. Actually, not long after you left the Xiao family, we already thought of your real identity. At that time, you caused such a ruckus in the illusion, barging into the Xiao family and the Luo family. Who doesn't know about the illusion?
Although the illusion is not small, it is not big either. If you are really Xiao Chen, then it is impossible to have no news of you all this time. In the entire Xiao family, even in Hongmeng, there is no such person. This shows that you are a fake identity.
As long as Xiao Chen and Yang Cheng appear at the same time, it is not difficult to find out that you are the same person.
You've given us so many precious pills. Now that I think about it, it's impossible for a cultivator in the illusion to be able to afford it. We're just some small characters in the illusion, so how could an expert take pity on us?
Just now, we didn't notice that you were a person with cultivation. It's the same reason why we didn't know your true strength in the past. There aren't many people in this world who can hide their cultivation. To be able to hide it as thoroughly as you, it must be you! "Zhao Muyang said happily.
So that's how it is … A bitter smile appeared on Yang Cheng's face. After thinking about it carefully, it wasn't too difficult to guess.
"Brother, is he really Xiao … Erm … Yang Chen?!" Zhao Ting, on the other hand, looked up and down curiously as if she had seen a treasure.
Lan Fei, on the other hand, was a little excited. It was as if the words were stuck in his throat, and he could not speak. After all, the name Yang Cheng had spread far and wide, and now, it represented too many legends …
At the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, he was already standing at the peak of the human race. No one could stop him in the illusion, and he restrained the gods with his own strength. What kind of unattainable realm was this?
Yang Cheng knew there was no point in hiding it. He chuckled and said, "It's fate that we meet again. Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't get involved in this mess. You're still too weak. You can handle normal demons, but those with higher spiritual intelligence are not people you can handle …"
"Even if we can't beat them, we still have to fight! If we don't show up, are we just going to let the demons kill all the ordinary people here? "Zhao Ting said angrily.
"Yeah, the three of us formed a team to kill demons. Although our strength is not as good as many of the seniors, we can at least do our bit," Lan Fei said.
"Brother … Brother Yang, I'll still call you that. I hope you don't mind," Zhao Muyang saw that Yang Cheng admitted it, and became a little reserved. He said, "Where have you been these days? Your family on the island is dying of anxiety. Plus, the entire human race needs you now. Everyone knows about your wife and Athena. But running away is not a solution. Hurry up and go back. Maybe everyone can think of a way to solve it. "
"Yeah, yeah! It's fine if you lied to us. But since you can save us, you can save everyone. Don't waste time here! "Zhao Ting said anxiously.
Yang Chen let out a self-deprecating laugh. "I know my own business very well … If it was that easy, I would've solved it a long time ago … You guys wouldn't understand. Some things can't be done just because you want to …"
As he said that, he patted Zhao Muyang's shoulder. Yang Cheng was about to leave.
All of a sudden, Zhao Ting was enraged. She suddenly grabbed Yang Chen's arm with force and held it tightly.
"You're not allowed to run! Hey! Are you Yang Cheng or not!? Isn't the rumored Yang Cheng fearless!? Could it be that you're afraid of your own wife at this critical juncture of life and death?! Are you a man or not!? "
"Sister …" Zhao Muyang was afraid that he would anger Yang Cheng, so he quickly advised Zhao Ting not to talk nonsense.
Zhao Ting got even angrier. "Brother, stop talking nonsense! Am I wrong?! Right now, Hua Xia, the whole world is suffering. This bastard clearly has the ability to change all of this, but he chose to run away and hide. He doesn't even dare to see his own family. If he isn't guilty, then what is?!
He knows that hiding is wrong, but he still hides. If he isn't a coward, then what is?! "
Yang Cheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Zhao Ting's words were like a bloody wound on his heart, adding layers of salt to it.
Zhao Muyang and Lan Fei were speechless. Obviously, they didn't say anything, but in their hearts, they felt that Yang Cheng's actions were shameless.
Zhao Ting let go of Yang Cheng's hand and wiped her tears. Suddenly, she flew into the residential area and quickly flew out again.
When she came out again, she was carrying a little girl who was about five or six years old. She was wrapped in a cotton jacket, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
The little girl seemed to be too scared. Her expression was a little dull, and she looked very confused when she saw people.
Zhao Ting carried the child to Yang Cheng. Her eyes were red, and she sobbed, "Do you know what this child was going through when we first arrived here? Only her grandmother was with her at home. Her parents had already left the old and the young and escaped to some unknown place!
That demon sucked half of her grandmother's body dry in front of this child! It was this child's scream that led us to find that damned bastard!
If we didn't appear, perhaps this child would have been dead … But, there are only a few hundred of us cultivators, but there are tens of thousands of demons in the world …
Don't you also have a daughter?! Your daughter is a treasure, but don't tell me that the children of ordinary families are not treasured?
If because of you, a child who could have grown up well died, then the one who killed them, isn't those demons, it's you!! It's you selfish, disgusting coward!! "
"…"
Yang Cheng looked at the little girl in a daze. Zhao Ting's words kept echoing in his ears, like the echoes of a valley.
Vaguely, it was as if this little girl had become Lanlan, and Lanlan was crying with red eyes, looking at him …
Yang Cheng's eyes reddened uncontrollably, and he clenched his fists tightly. He was about to lose control of his emotions, and his breathing quickened.
Zhao Ting, on the other hand, tightened her grip on the little girl in her arms. Coldly staring at Yang Chen, she said, "I initially thought you had some difficulties and couldn't make it back in time, but it seems like we thought too highly of you …
Even if you think I'm self-righteous, overestimating myself, crazy, stupid, I don't care. I, Zhao Ting, will tell you as a woman today …
If I were your wife, at this time, I wouldn't be grateful to you because you didn't want to hurt me and chose to escape …
I would only feel that marrying a coward like you who doesn't dare to face reality, and uses numbness to cover up your pitiful self-esteem, is an insult … "
After that, Zhao Ting hugged the little girl, stroked her hair, and walked back to the residential area.
Zhao Muyang and Lan Fei looked at each other with a complicated expression, and sighed helplessly with a smile.
Although Zhao Ting's words were inappropriate, and a little arrogant, but in general, they could understand why the girl was so angry.
For many female cultivators, perhaps the unruly and unbeatable Yang Cheng was the person they admired behind their backs.
But now that they found out that the "hero" was such an unbearable person, it was inevitable that they would be disappointed and even angry.
Zhao Muyang walked to Yang Cheng's side, patted Yang Cheng's shoulder, and said, "Brother Yang, my sister is straightforward, she actually doesn't mean any harm … We can understand, but for you, this isn't a simple decision … There must be a lot of inside story that we don't know, only you can understand it.
After all, no matter what, we can only rely on you. It's our incompetence, even if we die one day, it's our fate. "
Yang Cheng stood there woodenly, as if he didn't hear anything.
But Zhao Muyang obviously didn't care about this, as if he was immersed in his own sorrow, and smiled bitterly, "Do you know … Brother Lan and I often talk about you, we're all very envious of you, you're so young, yet you have such ability …
We even fantasize, if this decisive power is in the hands of either him or me, how awe-inspiring that would be … Heh … It's stupid, isn't it? We also know that, but we can only think like that.
But to be honest, we're very envious of you, even jealous of you, jealous that you have such talent, such good luck, things that we can't force ourselves to have …
No matter what choice you make, I hope you can believe that at least Lan and I won't hate you like a lot of people … We may be nothing to you, but to us, it's our honor to be friends with you … "
Zhao Muyang and Lan Fei smiled warmly together, and didn't say anything more, and quietly walked to the residential area to look for Zhao Ting.
Yang Cheng quietly stood where he was for a long time, countless thoughts flashing in his eyes, changing in an instant.
Not knowing how long had passed, Yang Cheng chuckled dryly a few times, raised his head to look at the gray sky, and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
He threw the bottle in his hand, and the next second, Yang Cheng disappeared from the street.
Soon, in the Forgotten Kingdom thousands of miles away, Yang Cheng had already changed into a clean set of clothes, tidied up his appearance, and appeared in the castle.
In the hall on the first floor of the castle, several women including Liu Mingyu, Zhenxiu, Li Jingjing, and Mo Qianni were discussing something at the table.
The chubby little girl sat on Yang Gongming's lap, listening to Yang Gongming telling her some old stories.
The sudden appearance of Yang Cheng stunned the women for a moment. It was Lanlan who reacted first, and happily shouted, "Dad."
Yang Cheng blinked at the women who were stunned, and their eyes were about to tear up. He then hugged his daughter who rushed up to him, and showed a bright smile.
