"I'm willing!" Lin Xiao walked beside him, his gaze fixed on his profile: "Because in my heart, only Hua Shuirou is the most perfect woman, and also because … you are stronger than me, you make me afraid! Even though my engagement with Hua Shuirou was witnessed by the emperor, even though General Hua has always been a man of his words, your appearance still made me tremble with fear. I know that my fear is not without reason, and it is not embarrassing. In the match that day, you completely defeated me in every match when I was full of confidence. After that day, I knew that in front of you, I should not have confidence. "
Ye Wuchen did not reply, but his footsteps slowed slightly.
"I, Lin Xiao, am a timid person. I have been afraid of being bullied since I was young, and I do not want to be below others. Thus, when I was very young, I worked very hard, desperately trying to become the so-called dragon among men. My achievements today are not just because of the so-called talent that they speak of, more importantly, I have always been working hard without caring for my life. I have worked hard, so I am proud of everything that I have, because these are things that I have given myself, not things that were bestowed upon me by the halo of my family. All this time, I thought that I could look down on the sky dragon, that no one of my age could be above me. In all these years, I have never been afraid. But your appearance broke my state of mind. When I knew that you had feelings for Hua Shuirou, I could not even eat or sleep for the past two days. Later, when I thought about it, at that time in the competition, you had already used the competition to use all kinds of methods to tease her heartstrings. Just this alone, I, Lin Xiao, am far inferior. "
Ye Wuchen stopped, turned around and said: "Since that is the case, you should take the initiative to give up the engagement. This way, I, Ye Wuchen, will be grateful to you for a while, and you will not have to carry such a heavy psychological burden to torment yourself. Isn't that a happy ending?"
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, and said resolutely: "As long as you give up, any condition … as long as I can do it, I will agree to it!"
"Young Master Lin is a sentimental person, but he is unexpectedly stubborn when it comes to relationships. Unfortunately, I'm the same as Young Master Lin. Whatever I like, whether it's a person or a grain of sand, I won't allow it to fall into the hands of others. Even if I have to snatch it, I will snatch it. I can tell you very clearly that Senior Hua has already agreed to the marriage between me and Little Rourou. You should go back and prepare for the engagement banquet that has been spreading like wildfire in a few days. That's all I have to say. Farewell. "
Ye Wuchen turned around and left, quickly disappearing around the corner, leaving Lin Xiao in a daze. He turned around and looked at the Hua family's door for a while, he muttered, "Since there is me, Lin Xiao, why is there another Ye Wuchen?"
He was not a coward, but the pressure that Ye Wuchen brought him was too heavy. It was so heavy that he was willing to bow down instead of fighting him head-on. He had never had a worthy opponent since he was young, but now there was a person who could step on him firmly under his feet. In the beginning, when he and Ye Wuchen competed, no one was as affected as he was. When Ye Wuchen played the song 'Memories of the Past' and perfectly defeated his' Red Dust Dream ', the last of Lin Xiao's pride was shattered.
When he returned to the Yeh family, Ye Wuchen walked straight to Wang Wenshu's room, and said immediately, "There should be two guests coming this evening. Ask them to prepare more wine and dishes … Ah no, there is no need for wine."
"Guests?" Wang Wenshu, who was embroidering a mandarin duck pillow, raised her head and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes. But their identities are kept a secret for now. You will know when the time comes. "Ye Wuchen smiled mysteriously.
"Then I will ask them to prepare it immediately." Wang Wenshu quickly put down the things in her hands. Before she left, she thought of something and turned around to say, "Oh right, Chen'Er, the rooms in my courtyard have been cleaned up. Ask the mother of the child named Cold Cliffs to move to my place. Your father is often not at home, so it is good to have another companion. I went to see her this morning. She looks like a person who has suffered a lot and has had a hard life, but her temperament is extraordinary. She should be from a big family in Tenryū Province. "
"Yes!" Ye Wuchen nodded in response.
Naturally, Ye Wei and Ye Nu objected to Ye Wuchen bringing Cold Cliffs back. After all, Cold Cliffs was from Dafeng Kingdom, which they hated. Fortunately, their objections were not that strong. Under Ye Wuchen's insistence, they did not ask further. Wang Wenshu agreed to let Cold Cliffs's mother, Leng Qiu, stay in her courtyard and be her companion because it was Ye Wuchen who suggested it. His mother naturally agreed to his request as much as possible.
At this time, Cold Cliffs was supporting his mother as they walked slowly in the courtyard. Leng Qiu's complexion was obviously much better than yesterday. Seeing that Ye Wuchen had returned, Cold Cliffs called out coldly, "Young Master." Leng Qiu wanted to bow gratefully, but Cold Cliffs held her. Ye Wuchen hurried over to stop her. "Aunty, you're not feeling well. I'm friends with Cold Cliffs, so please don't kill me."
Leng Qiu shook her head and looked at him gratefully. "I heard from Xiao Feng that if it wasn't for you, Xiao Feng would have been captured by them. You saved our lives! Now, you've cured my eyes that have been blind for god knows how many years … We have nothing now. We don't know how to repay your kindness! "
Ye Wuchen hurriedly waved his hand. "Aunty, please don't say that. I saved Cold Cliffs out of selfishness. Moreover, Cold Cliffs is my friend. It's only right and proper for me to help him. Cold Cliffs, help Aunty back to rest first. I have something to tell you. "
After Cold Cliffs helped the grateful Leng Qiu back, he dawdled for a long time before silently walking behind Ye Wuchen. Ye Wuchen, whose back was facing him, heard his approaching footsteps. Without turning his head, he asked, "Have you thought about what I said to you yesterday?"
"What do you want me to do in Dafeng Nation?" Cold Cliffs asked.
"It's simple … I need to plant a force in Dafeng Nation. A force that is unknown to the public but can penetrate the royal family of Dafeng Nation like a sharp knife. Can you do it? "
"I can't," Cold Cliffs answered cleanly.
"If you can, will you promise me?"
"I won't!"
"Very well," Ye Wuchen turned around and looked at him with a frown. "Indeed, you don't have the ability to do it. Even if you can, I won't let you go. Because you're too weak. You don't have enough strength and ability. Although I saved your and your mother's lives and healed your mother's eyes, you aren't loyal to me as you promised. Why should I save you and take you in when you have no ability and no loyalty? "
Cold Cliffs stared at him with a cold face. His voice was even colder. "I, Cold Cliffs … don't live for anyone!"
The corner of Ye Wuchen's mouth twitched, and he laughed sarcastically, "You're a person with a strong sense of pride. But what can you use to protect your dignity? Why is your mother's body so weak? Because you have no money! You haven't let her have a full meal for a long time. For the sake of money, you even participated in competitions that you would have disdained in the past. Why were you forced into a dangerous situation? Because you were defeated by Lin Xiao because you didn't have the ability. You even used the Wind-Breaking Blade impulsively and almost got your mother into trouble. Even now, if I didn't take you in, you would still be under the surveillance of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor. He could secretly arrest you at any time. You are just a joke, a piece of trash. What qualifications do you have to show your ridiculous dignity in front of me. "
"You … shut up!" Leng Ya's eyes were cold as he gritted his teeth. His frightening aura caused the surrounding temperature to drop by a few degrees.
"Did I say anything wrong?" Ye Wuchen sneered. "Do you want to attack me? But unfortunately, I'm not afraid. Because you are not my opponent. As long as I want to, I can knock you down immediately. Then, I can step on your head and look at you in disdain. Because, I have the ability to do so. But you don't! You hate your father. But other than hate, what else can you do? Who doesn't know Feng Zhaoyang's name in Tianchen Continent? But how many people know you, Cold Cliffs? Even if you die here right now, who would care about your life and death? "
Cold Cliffs's body trembled slightly. Every word from Ye Wuchen was like a knife stabbing into his heart. He was an arrogant man with strong self-esteem. But now, he was mercilessly ridiculed in front of him. He was a joke, a trash. There was even a hint of murderous intent in the anger he exuded. If he didn't try hard to control himself and tell himself that he was the benefactor who saved him and his mother, he would have rushed forward and cut this person into pieces.
"Do you want to become stronger?" Looking at him, Ye Wuchen's voice suddenly softened and he asked calmly.
"Yes!" He gritted his teeth and answered. Every word from Ye Wuchen was mercilessly telling him that if he didn't have the ability, he would never be able to talk about self-esteem! If he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't be able to protect himself and his mother.
Ye Wuchen nodded and turned to look towards the north. The tree-like old man gradually appeared in his mind. "Then, you don't have to return to Dafeng Country. I want you to go to a forgotten corner in the north of Tenryū Province and find a person called Chu Cang Ming. He will teach you how to become stronger. "
"Chu Cang Ming …" Hearing this name, Cold Cliffs's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Come and find me when you've made your decision. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go. My Yeh family will take care of you forever, just like raising a dog! "
Ye Wuchen finished speaking coldly and turned to leave. He went to Ye Shuiyao's courtyard to pick up Ningxue. Before he left, he glanced at the window of the room Leng Qiu was in, seemingly unintentionally.
Cold Cliffs stood there blankly like an ice sculpture. He didn't make a sound for a long time. This young man, who had been lost for more than ten years, suddenly had a direction in his heart. The anger and murderous intent from before had unknowingly disappeared without a trace.
