In the training room of the Dragon Soul Headquarters!
Ye Chen and Niu Qingshan sat opposite each other.
Niu Qingshan took a good look at Ye Chen. His expression was rather serious, "I received news that the Heavenly Palace has been looking for two people recently. One of them is the little girl you asked me to look for last time!"
"Qianqian?"
Ye Chen's expression froze slightly!
"That's right!"
Niu Qingshan nodded and said, "It's that little girl called Qianqian. Apart from her, the other person is a lunatic. That's why I asked the others to leave and told you about this alone!"
"Why is the Heavenly Palace looking for these two people?!" Ye Chen frowned.
"Why else?"
Niu Qingshan smirked coldly, "That junior brother of mine wants to be Shang Santian's dog. Obviously, he received orders from Shang Santian. In other words, Shang Santian is looking for these two people!"
He paused for a moment and lowered his voice, "The little girl beside you isn't simple. I've secretly investigated. That little girl appeared once 50 years ago!"
Ye Chen nodded secretly.
Qianqian's background was rather mysterious, and her body was rather special. Especially after meeting Shi Qianhan once, he realized that Qianqian was not as simple as she looked.
After all, a little girl had appeared once 50 years ago. Why did her body not show any signs of growing up after 50 years? Moreover, she often forgot some things of the past.
Niu Qingshan continued, "50 years ago, the ghost ship appeared. Countless powerhouses stepped onto the ghost ship, but only two people walked out alive. The others were left on the ghost ship forever. No one knows if they're dead or alive!"
He took a good look at Ye Chen, "The two people who came out alive are the people the Heavenly Palace is looking for!"
"Are you saying that Qianqian walked out of the ghost ship alive?" Ye Chen's expression froze. He was shocked.
Even though he and the Patriarch of Hell had all sorts of guesses about Qianqian's identity, they did not expect a five-year-old girl like Qianqian to be related to the ghost ship!
"Yes, it's her!"
Niu Qingshan nodded and said, "The people who stayed outside at that time didn't know what was on the ghost ship, nor did they know what had happened. They only knew that their own people didn't leave the ship. So, all the powers wanted to capture the two of them and investigate the secrets within!"
"Because of this, a great battle broke out between the various forces, and countless experts fell. When everyone unanimously decided to capture the two first before distributing them, one of the two old men exploded on the spot!"
When he spoke up to here, he couldn't help but gasp. "In the eyes of all the powerhouses, the old man and the little girl were no different than fish on the chopping block, and they were at the mercy of anyone. Never had they imagined that the old man would lead the little girl into the midst of so many powerhouses, and no one could stop him!"
"At that time, almost all the powerhouses from Shang Santian who entered the world were killed by him alone. There were no less than three martial venerables who died, and there were countless other powerhouses!"
Ye Chen said in a deep voice, "What happened after that?"
"Later on, when Shang Santian sent out powerhouses again, they realized that the old man and the young girl had disappeared. It was as if they had evaporated from the world. The people from Shang Santian tried everything they could, but they couldn't find them. Coupled with the powerhouses from China, they retreated unwillingly!"
Niu Qingshan shook his head slightly and said, "Later on, some people said that the old man and the young girl were ghosts and devils that walked out of the ghost ship. Some people also said that they were the resurrection of the powerhouses who died on the ghost ship. After 50 years, everyone has almost forgotten about it."
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly as he secretly digested the information.
"Ye, when everyone had almost forgotten about it, this little girl appeared again. Moreover, she has a certain connection with you!"
Niu Qingshan raised his eyes and stared at him, "That's why you have a time bomb by your side. Once her whereabouts are exposed, you'll become the target of everyone. You'll have to face the entire Shang Santian!"
"So you want to persuade me not to take her in? Or should I just hand her over to Shang Santian? "Ye Chen said.
"That's right!"
Niu Qingshan nodded and said, "Strictly speaking, this little girl has nothing to do with you. There's no need to hand her over to Shang Santian, but you can let her go and let her fend for herself!"
"You already have such strength at such a young age. It's enough to show that you're extraordinarily talented. If you're given some time, it's not impossible for you to grow to the point where Shang Santian will respect you. However, there's no time!"
He sighed softly, "The ghost ship is about to appear. It's inevitable that Shang Santian will enter the world. If you fall into the crosshairs of everyone, even I won't be able to protect you!"
"Thank you for your kind intentions!"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered a few times. Subsequently, he said, "Your suggestion isn't bad. Unfortunately, I've already promised someone to take care of Qianqian on his behalf. I, Ye Chen, never make promises easily in my life, but once I do, I'll definitely keep my promise!"
It was the agreement between him and Shi Qianhan!
He would take care of Qianqian for a month!
Meanwhile, Shi Qianhan would help him find out Wushuang's whereabouts!
A gentleman's word could not be taken back!
Moreover, even without this agreement, Ye Chen could not abandon Qianqian after taking her in because he was afraid of Shang Santian!
Because he would never forget it!
The little girl who was wearing tattered clothes and tattered shoes, walking on the street with her head lowered. She was so hungry that she timidly reached out to the passersby for food.
The little girl felt inferior!
She did not dare to look at the passersby, afraid that she would be beaten and scolded. The timid gaze hidden in her chest was too sad!
"What about Shang Santian?" Niu Qingshan sighed.
"So what if Shang Santian finds out?"
Ye Chen stood up slowly and walked to the door. He said firmly, "If Shang Santian dares to touch my people, I'll kill ten, a hundred, or a thousand of them. I'll kill them until they tremble and surrender!"
"Perhaps you're right!"
Niu Qingshan watched him leave, and a trace of old age appeared on his face, "I'm old. Looks like I'm really old. If I had a trace of your courage, China wouldn't be like this …"
…
After leaving the Dragon Soul Sect's headquarters, Ye Chen said to Lin Tai and Yang Tian who were following him, "I'll give you guys a mission now. No matter what method you use, you must give me a person in the hall …"
He slowly told them about the old lunatic who had led Qianqian on a killing spree 50 years ago and then disappeared.
"Alright!"
Lin Tai and Yang Tian nodded in unison!
At that moment, Ye Chen's phone rang. He picked it up and realized that it was an overseas number. He frowned and eventually picked it up.
"M-Master, i-is that you?"
A slightly agitated voice came from the phone!
Ye Chen could not help but stop walking, "Chiba Yoshiko?"
"Master, i-it's me!"
Chiba Yoshiko immediately burst into tears. "Master, I've found out what you wanted me to find out, but I've also been discovered by my family. They want to kill me on the charge of treason. Master … Save … Save me!"
