Ye Xue looked at Chu Chen with a complicated expression. When her red eyes met with Chu Chen's, her tears fell again.
"What's wrong? Silly girl. "
"Nothing … I, I just feel that Brother Tong, you … you're such a good person, so powerful, and so talented, but God made your legs crippled. This is really unfair … "
At the end of her sentence, the tears that she had just held back gushed out.
When Chu Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He did not know what to say to this innocent girl. He could only gently pat her thin shoulder and comfort her softly.
"Silly girl, my legs will recover soon. Don't worry …"
The sun was setting in the west. A beam of light golden light poured down from the sky and shone on a young man and a young woman.
The sunlight shone in front of them, creating a warm glow.
The young woman's slender and beautiful figure sobbed softly. The young man's steady and gentle palm slowly patted her slender back.
Elder Lingxin was nowhere to be seen. Apparently, she had left after confirming that Chu Chen was safe and sound.
"Brother Tong, are you looking for Elder Lingxin?"
The young woman looked at the young man with teary eyes.
"No …" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Tong, do you know if you should say something?" The moment Ye Xue asked, her face turned red and hot. Because she suddenly felt that she was a little "despicable".
"Say it."
"I … I know that you've always cared about Elder Lingxin, but … but, there seems to be someone in her heart … but this person is not you …"
Ye Xue stuttered these words. She regretted it in her heart. Her tears gushed out again. She had never thought that she would be "sabotaging" someone behind their back.
Chu Chen smiled. "Silly girl, what does this have to do with anything? I care about Elder Lingxin. It has nothing to do with who is in her heart."
"It has nothing to do with anything? But … but … "
"Silly girl, there are some things that you will understand when you grow up. Let's go back."
Under the setting sun, the shadows of the young man and woman were elongated.
When Ye Xue saw Chu Chen again a few years later, she realized that there were some things in her heart that would not change because she had grown up, and she did not want to understand them.
Big Brother Tong Hu would always be the gentle lame youth who protected her, and not the young Venerable Sovereign Chu Chen who commanded the world.
"Let's go."
Chu Chen put his finger on his lips and whistled loudly. Then, a black light flashed over from the horizon, revealing Wangcai's dark and thin face.
When the black donkey came to his side, Chu Chen tapped the branch in his hand and leaped onto Wangcai's back.
"Alright, this poisonous python has been killed. Let's go back."
At this moment, Elder Lingxin actually turned back from the mountain path, but there was an extra bag made of tree bark in her hand. She glanced at the two corpses of the Silver Line Blackwater Snakes on the ground indifferently.
"The bodies of these Silver Line Blackwater Snakes are treasures, especially their poisonous snouts and blood. They are excellent materials for refining pills. We can't just leave them here."
While speaking, Elder Lingxin came to the hill-like corpses of the Silver Line Blackwater Snakes and began to deal with them.
When Chu Chen and Ye Xue returned to the giant wall, they entered the inside of the cave that had been dug out.
When they arrived at the cave, which was hundreds of feet deep, they saw that the originally chaotic scene had been completely controlled.
Those Silver Line Blackwater Snakes that had fled in all directions had been killed by Guan Teng and Qiu San. In the spacious cave, there were many huge snake corpses lying haphazardly. The whole cave emitted a pungent smell of blood and sulfur.
"Great Hero Tong is back."
Seeing Chu Chen sitting on the black donkey's back with ease, Guan Teng coldly glanced at him and snorted disdainfully.
"You really know how to steer with the wind. When we were risking our lives to kill the poisonous snakes, you only knew how to run away. Now that the crisis is over, you actually have the face to come back! "
Hm?
After hearing Guan Teng's words, everyone looked at Chu Chen at the same time. They saw him riding the black donkey and swaying back and forth. It was really too much!
Although the cultivators didn't say much, the same thought appeared in their minds at the same time.
That shouldn't be the case. Although this kid's legs were inconvenient, he fled when the situation was critical and came back when the situation was good. Such a standard opportunist character really made them feel uncomfortable.
The cultivators in the cave who had seen Chu Chen kill the Silver Line Blackwater Snakes with the Dragon Stopping Talisman wanted to defend him.
"No, it's not like that!"
A young girl's voice suddenly rang out. Ye Xue stood up.
Seeing that the surrounding people were more or less looking at Chu Chen with a trace of strangeness, Ye Xue felt that she couldn't stay silent any longer.
When she had been attacked by the three Silver Line Blackwater Snakes, only a few people had seen Chu Chen make a move.
Most of the others had seen Chu Chen kill the snakes in the desolate mountain range. Thus, there weren't many people who had seen Chu Chen kill the snakes.
Just as Ye Xue was about to explain, she saw her father, Ye Chengxiong, step out from the crowd and speak in a loud voice.
"The Dragon Stopping Talisman that caused the Silver Line Blackwater Snakes to be so fearful and not dare attack was given by this little brother Tong Hu. Whether or not he contributed, I'm sure you all have your own judgment. Furthermore, one of the Blackwater Snakes was killed by him with the Dragon Stopping Talisman. "
Shock once again appeared on all the cultivators' faces. Although the crippled youth hadn't personally gone into battle, he had repeatedly rendered meritorious service and had once again become the key to saving everyone.
He could be said to be everyone's savior. After making such a great contribution, so what if he fled at the last moment? Moreover, this was only Guan Teng's guess.
"Oh? Then you're a great talisman master. "
Guan Teng sneered, his expression still full of disdain and ridicule. "Fleeing at the last moment is fleeing at the last moment. No matter how profound your talisman cultivation is, you're still nothing more than a coward."
"Forget it, Pallbearers, there's no need to be so demanding."
Guan Teng's overbearing manner finally caused a few cultivators to be unable to bear it any longer.
"This little brother Tong Hu has always been handicapped and his cultivation is still low. We can't be too demanding."
"After all, he was able to provide the Dragon Stopping Talisman and suppress all the Blackwater Snakes. This is already a great help to everyone."
"That's right. This little brother didn't have it easy either. Even in times of danger, the most important thing is to protect his own life. After all, even if he charged forward, he probably wouldn't be of much help. Instead, he'd just be throwing his life away. "
"Pallbearers, let's go count the number of Silver Line Blackwater Snakes we killed."
… …
Everyone spoke at once to comfort Chu Chen. When Ye Xue heard this, her face flushed scarlet. She couldn't help but want to loudly defend Chu Chen and explain that he was chasing after the two Silver Line Blackwater Snakes, not fleeing.
However, when she turned her head, she saw Chu Chen give her a meaningful glance.
