What if I say no?
As soon as Ye Chen said that in all seriousness, everyone present was stunned one after another.
Wu Tashan, who was lying on the ground, scoffed. He was furious.
'Idiot, can't you see the situation? Even I'm not Li Yuan's match. What's the use of an ordinary person like you saying no? '
"Ye Chen …" Xiao Ya could not help but call out.
She did not want Ye Chen to go with Li Yuan, but she was afraid that he would fight back. After all, he might be killed on the spot if he fought back.
"Brat, I have to say that I admire your courage, but I admire your ignorance even more." Uncle Li was stunned for a moment before he scoffed.
To him, he had broken Wu Tashan's attack with gu earlier. If an ordinary person were to see so many gu, they might have been scared to death.
However, this brat before him did not. He could only credit it to the brat who was not afraid of death and wanted to show off his bravery before a woman.
"However, there's a price to pay for being ignorant!"
Uncle Li changed the topic. There was a ferocious gleam in his eyes when he looked at Ye Chen. "I'll show you what it means to be in agony!"
He waved his sleeve as soon as he was done speaking.
As a black energy flashed, countless venomous snakes appeared on the ground within the blink of an eye.
The venomous snakes were entangled with each other. They wiggled their tiny, sharp heads and charged at Ye Chen with their red tongues sticking out.
Even Wu Tashan, who had seen gu since he was young, could not help but have his scalp tingle when he saw that. Fear filled his eyes.
'This brat is dead!'
Xiao Ya fell onto the ground. Her pretty face turned pale. "N-no. Ye Chen, run. Run now!"
"Daddy, I'm afraid of snakes …" Mengmeng shuddered and buried her head into Ye Chen's embrace immediately. She dared not look at him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Ye Chen patted her shoulder and lifted his head to look at the snakes that were coming from all directions. A gleam of light flashed through his eyes.
The group of snakes suddenly stopped moving, as if they had encountered something terrifying. They actually turned around and attacked Uncle Li.
"Go back, go back!" Uncle Li's expression changed as he kept ordering them.
However, these snakes pounced at him crazily. Not long after, they lay at his feet, entangling and biting crazily.
Wu Tashan and Xiao Ya's expressions froze instantly. They thought they were hallucinating.
Uncle Li groaned in pain. With a flick of his finger, one of the snakes with a larger head and triangular head instantly exploded.
The rest of the snakes also died in that instant.
That was the Gu King. The person who controlled the Gu would tame a Gu King and let it lead the other Gu worms.
Li Yuan took out a white bottle and swallowed it immediately. He then looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. "Brat, who exactly are you? How does he know how to control Gu? "
At that moment, he was extremely wary of Ye Chen. Initially, he thought that Ye Chen was just an ordinary person. Never had he thought that his gu would rebel.
Bang!
A large hand slapped over.
Uncle Li's expression froze.
His head spun a few times like a spinning top. Finally, his face turned to his back, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Ye Chen clapped his hands and said coldly, "You talk too much!"
His movement and expression looked like he had just slapped a mosquito to death.
Dead silence filled the place.
Xiao Ya was stunned.
Wu Tashan's eyes were wide open as if he had just seen a ghost.
Li Yuan, who was an Internal Energy expert and a Gu Control Master, had died just like that?
Not only that, but he had been slapped to death …
How was that possible?
Ye Chen walked to Xiao Ya while carrying the little girl and smiled lightly. "I've told you that nobody can hurt you as long as I'm here."
Xiao Ya looked at him blankly while her chest was heaving up and down. She felt like she was dreaming.
Was … was this really the same unattractive high school classmate she used to have?
Wu Tashan struggled to stand up from the ground and looked at Ye Chen with his guard up. "Who exactly are you? What's the purpose of you following Nini? "
He must have been wrong!
How could a person with such skills be an ordinary person? It was even more impossible for him to be Nini's classmate.
"My name is Ye Chen, Xiao Ya's old classmate." Ye Chen caressed the little girl's hair and smiled calmly. He was no different from before.
At the same time, hurried footsteps came from the forest far away.
Xiao Ya was shocked.
"Don't worry. The clan elders are here." Wu Tashan's expression changed at first, then he revealed an elated expression.
As expected, four silhouettes leaped out of the forest within the span of a few breaths. There were three men and a lady. They were rather old, approximately 50 or 60 years old, and they were wearing Miao attire.
The leader was an old lady with a walking stick.
Ye Chen looked serious.
These people's auras weren't just a little bit stronger than Li Yuan's. The leading old woman was at the Meridian Opening realm, and one of the other three old men was also at the Meridian Opening realm.
Meanwhile, the remaining two were on peak-stage Internal Energy.
The old lady was elated to see Xiao Ya. She went to her immediately. "Nini …"
"Grandma!"
Xiao Ya threw herself into her embrace. She was excited like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Grandma, I finally see you. It's great that you're back. It's great that you're back." The old lady hugged her tightly while both of them could not stop crying.
One of the old men walked to Wu Tashan quickly and held him up. "Are you alright, Tashan?"
"I'm fine, Ah Pu. I was just bitten by Li Yuan's gu." Wu Tashan held his head down in embarrassment like a child who had done something wrong.
The old man's expression turned grim. "Where's Li Yuan?"
"He's over there!" Wu Tashan turned his head and pointed at Li Yuan's dead body lying aside.
The few old men walked over immediately. They were shocked to see Li Yuan's dead body.
The old man looked at Wu Tashan and said in shock, "Tashan, did you kill him?"
"Tashan, you're amazing. I can't believe you killed Li Yuan." Another old man was relieved.
"That's right. Tashan is even more powerful than Ah Da back then."
"…"
The few old men began to chatter and praise him.
Wu Tashan blushed and shook his head unnaturally. Subsequently, he looked at Ye Chen next to him and said, "He killed him."
At that moment.
Everyone had their eyes on Ye Chen at the same time, including the old lady from before.
The old lady took a good look at Ye Chen with an unfriendly expression. Noticing that he was dressed as an outsider, she asked while holding her walking stick, "Nini, who is he?"
At the same time, the other three old men walked to Ye Chen one after another. They were slightly repulsive and unfriendly.
Xiao Ya stood before Ye Chen immediately and explained, "Ah Pu, Ah Na, Granny, Ye Chen is Nini's classmate outside. He's also Tashan's and my savior. He was the one who killed Li Yuan earlier."
The few old men looked at each other after hearing that. They saw the shock in each other's eyes.
The old lady nodded and looked at Ye Chen with a terrifying gaze. "How did you kill him?"
The rest glared at Ye Chen. They were going to attack him if there was anything wrong with his answer.
Ye Chen said calmly as everyone stared at him, "It's simple. I killed him with a slap."
Everyone was stunned as soon as he said that.
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
"Killed him with a slap?" the old lady asked again.
Ye Chen nodded and looked normal. "That's right. He talked too much, so I couldn't hold it in."
"You're lying. Li Yuan is an Internal Energy ancient martial artist and an expert in controlling gu. How could a brat like you kill him with a slap?" The old man next to Wu Tashan scoffed.
The other Internal Energy old man nodded by instinct. "That's right. Although Li Yuan's ability isn't on par with mine, it's impossible for me to kill him with a slap even if I wanted to."
"Whatever you guys say."
Ye Chen shook his head calmly.
He did not want to waste time with these old ladies and old men, nor did he bother to explain himself.
Xiao Ya panicked seeing that the people were rejecting Ye Chen. "Ah Pu, Ah Na, Granny, Ye Chen really killed Li Yuan. Can you guys stop making things difficult for him?"
"Alright, alright. I won't make things difficult for him."
The old lady patted her hand and said to the few old men with a kind face, "Li Yuan is dead. The Black Miao Village will find out sooner or later. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go back to the village."
The few of them nodded and were about to leave with the old lady.
Ye Chen turned around while carrying the little girl. He was planning to go in the opposite direction.
"Ye Chen!"
Xiao Ya's voice came from behind.
He turned his head to see Xiao Ya running over. She said with a complicated expression on her face, "Ye Chen, can you go back with us? You've offended the Black Miao Village by killing Li Yuan. I'm afraid that they'll take revenge on you. "
"Nini, have you forgotten our White Miao Village's rule? No outsiders are allowed in! "The old lady scolded from far away.
Xiao Ya begged, "Granny, Ye Chen offended the Black Miao Village to save us. We can't be ungrateful. Please do us a favor and break the rule for once."
"Ah Pu, why don't we bring him back? Moreover, the situation now is … "
Even Wu Tashan could not help but say. Although he disliked Ye Chen, he was not an ungrateful person.
The few old men looked at the old lady at the same time. They were clearly waiting for her decision.
The old lady glanced at Xiao Ya and then at Ye Chen. She said in her deep voice, "Alright, bring him back."
"Wait!"
Ye Chen could not help but interrupt, "I don't think I agreed to go back with you guys. Shouldn't you guys ask for my opinion first? "
