Meeting Again
Upheaval's inner sect disciple's eyes flashed. His immortal spiritual energy was in complete chaos.
Upheaval's competitiveness was growing by the day. Every inner sect disciple was the gang's most outstanding genius. The fact that he'd become an inner sect disciple was a testament to his strength.
Even an ordinary Earth Supreme would find it difficult to make his Immortal Force this chaotic. Only the ninth-stage Earth Supreme Demon Race expert in the gang could make him feel this way.
What terrified him even more was what the black-robed man had just said ….
"You …. You …."
Now that the person she'd been thinking about every night had appeared before her, she didn't dare recognize him.
In the past few years, Ye Zichen had changed far too much. He seemed more reserved and dignified than before.
The black-robed youth looked at Zuo Mo and smiled.
"Zuo Mo, I'm here."
"Zichen."
Inexplicably, Zuo Mo's tears flowed uncontrollably, and her eyes instantly moistened. She fought back her tears and stared straight at him.
The villagers didn't dare look at Ye Zichen. Grandmaster Ye's name was infamous in the Lower Lands. They were all ordinary villagers, and they were afraid that they would offend this powerful being in some way.
Xiao Ting, however, didn't think too much about it. She simply blinked and peeked.
She'd always been curious about Grandmaster Ye and Zuo Mo's dao partner. She wanted to know if they had three heads and six arms. But now, it seemed they were just ordinary people.
They weren't like the rumors, were they? Fire qilins, dragons, or demons?
When Ye Zichen saw Zuo Mo's reddened eyes, he reached out and tousled her hair. She didn't dodge at all. She allowed him to rub her head. Wang Nan felt a pang of jealousy, but when he remembered that this was Grandmaster Ye, he calmed down.
He'd always felt that anyone worthy of Zuo Mo couldn't possibly be mediocre.
He'd pursued Zuo Mo before because he didn't know she had a dao partner. Now that he knew, and he was Grandmaster Ye, he couldn't bring himself to pursue her. All he could do was silently wish her well.
"Alright, now that I'm here, everything is over." Ye Zichen's gentle voice reached Zuo Mo's ears. He tousled her hair and chuckled. "Upheaval is my faction. If they come here to cause trouble, it's my fault for not disciplining them properly. Leave them to me. Thanks for your hard work."
"Yes."
Zuo Mo bit her lip and nodded, then took a few steps back.
He watched her leave with a warm gaze, but when he turned back to face the other members of Upheaval, his eyes flashed with unquestionable dominance.
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Grandmaster Ye, we …." Upheaval started to speak, but Ye Zichen coldly cut him off. "If you have anything to say, go back and say it to the elders."
With a wave of his hand, Ye Zichen sent the gang members into the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
The surrounding villagers were dumbfounded. What kind of technique was that? It could actually wipe out several Heaven Immortals and Immortal Kings with just a wave of his hand.
What's more, Ye Zichen's performance just now caused the villagers to mutter.
This Grandmaster Ye was too overbearing.
"Upheaval is my faction. I sincerely apologize for all the trouble I've caused you, my fellow villagers."
He bowed to the villagers of Green Qilin Village, and the villagers quickly returned the gesture.
The village head laughed. "Grandmaster Ye, you're being too serious. Although your faction has attacked our little village a few times, we've never suffered any substantial harm."
"Who said we didn't? Big Brother Wang Nan …."
One of the villagers spoke up. The injured Wang Nan immediately glared at him.
Ye Zichen naturally didn't miss this petty action. He scanned Wang Nan's body with his divine sense and discovered that, based on how his blood was churning, he was indeed injured. Fortunately, his foundation was solid, so his injuries weren't particularly serious.
Ye Zichen took out a bottle of medicine, then used his divine power to bring it to Wang Nan.
"Here's a bottle of medicine to help you recover."
"Grandmaster Ye, you absolutely can't!"
Wang Nan reached out and refused. Although he was injured, he'd intentionally avoided hitting his vitals, so his injuries weren't particularly serious.
He'd often run into these kinds of minor injuries while hunting yao, so they were nothing to him.
"No matter what, my people hurt you. Take it."
"Wang Nan, just take it," said Zuo Mo in support.
Wang Nan hesitated for a moment, then clenched the bottle, cupped his fists, and turned to Ye Zichen.
"Many thanks."
Ye Zichen nodded calmly, then turned his gaze to Zuo Mo. She was looking right back at him.
This time, Ye Zichen didn't avoid her gaze.
A hundred years had matured his mind. He knew full well that while he could hide from her, he couldn't change her stubbornness.
"Zuo Mo, come with me."
"Where?" asked Zuo Mo.
"To Raging Flame City," replied Ye Zichen.
Instantly, a hint of hesitation flashed through Zuo Mo's eyes. She glanced discreetly at the villagers behind her.
"Zuo Mo, go with Grandmaster Ye. Your future won't be limited to a small place like Blue Qilin Village," said the village head with a benevolent smile.
"That's right, Big Sister Zuo Mo. Haven't you been waiting for Grandmaster Ye? Now that he's come looking for you, don't hesitate any longer," urged Xiao Ting.
Practically every villager in the village said the same thing, but Zuo Mo was a sentimental person. She'd lived with them for years. How could she let go of them just like that?
At that moment, the village head stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ye Zichen.
"Grandmaster Ye, I have a favor to ask."
"Old man, what are you doing?" Ye Zichen hurriedly dragged the village head to his feet. The village head turned to Wang Nan and said, "Lil 'Nan is a talented and hardworking child. Given his talent, he's more than capable of developing in a bigger place. Unfortunately, he can't let go of us old fellows. We don't want to hold up his talent, so please, Grandmaster Ye, take him with you and leave. "
Ye Zichen had seen Wang Nan's talent. It wasn't particularly stunning, but it wasn't bad either.
What's more, he'd managed to reach the peak of the sky immortal level in a village with such thin immortal energy. It was clear that he'd suffered quite a bit and hadn't slacked off in the slightest.
There were plenty of geniuses in the God Realm, but too few of them were patient enough.
"Sure."
"Village head, I'm not leaving!" said Wang Nan without even thinking about it. "I have to stay and protect you."
"Silly child, the sky is high and the fish are free to swim …. Staying here is far too much of a hindrance to your future. It's also a waste of the talent the heavens have bestowed upon you. Exploring the outside world is a good thing for you. "
Grandmaster Ye had agreed, but Wang Nan didn't. The village head couldn't help but frown and try to persuade him.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but glance at Zuo Mo. The two of them looked at each other, and it seemed like Ye Zichen understood something from her gaze.
Then, he looked at the old Village Chief and Wang Nan who were still arguing endlessly.
