He followed the location on the map.
After discussing with the Patriarch of Hell, Ye Chen found out that the Sky Stone was near a county called Ba County in Yuzhou. He even consulted the people in town.
Ye Chen decided to go there himself.
He had to get the Sky Stone.
As a cultivator, it would be inconvenient for him to go out if he did not even have the most basic storage bag. If he had a magical weapon in the future, he might not even be able to pass the security check when he took a plane.
If he carried a flying sword with him, the police would arrest him for possessing a controlled weapon.
The only thing that puzzled him was how Gu Fan, an ordinary person, knew about the Sky Stone there. However, it seemed like he had no idea what the Sky Stone was.
…
At the exit of Swallowtail Town, a Land Rover was parked by the road.
Lin Jiao stood next to the car and looked at the town with complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes. Most people had left since the martial arts competition ended, but she stayed.
The reason being she wanted to apologize to Ye Chen.
Han Xu, who was standing aside, forced a smile. He wanted to persuade her, but he had no idea what to say.
When she saw Ye Chen walking out with his daughter, Lin Jiao was elated.
Just when she was going to say something, she realized that Ye Chen did not even look at her. Instead, he walked past them directly as if he did not see them.
Lin Jiao's eyes turned red. She bit her lip hard as an indescribable emotion rushed into her.
She wanted to apologize to Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen did not even give her the chance.
Han Xu lifted his head to look at the dark clouds above and sighed. "Let's go. It's going to rain soon."
Thunder rumbled in the sky as soon as he was done speaking.
A muffled clap of thunder resounded in the sky, and the pitter-patter of rain came from afar.
Han Xu returned to the car immediately and took out an umbrella.
Lin Jiao rejected his offer of an umbrella and chased after Ye Chen in the rain without hesitation.
She was wearing high-heeled shoes today. Perhaps because she was running too fast, she accidentally twisted her heel, and her whole body suddenly fell to the ground.
Ignoring the pain coming from her knee, she lifted her head to look at Ye Chen who was getting further away. She shouted, "Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen then turned his head to look at her. "Yes?"
As they were speaking, it started raining heavily above their heads. A purple light screen appeared on Ye Chen's body. The light screen protected him and the little girl, Mengmeng, in it, blocking the rain outside.
Lin Jiao, on the other hand, was completely drenched by the rain. She bit her lip and said bitterly, "I … I'm sorry!"
At the same time, tears flowed from her eyes, as if those words were extremely heavy.
"You chased after me just to say this?"
Ye Chen looked at her strangely and said while shaking his head, "You don't have to apologize to me because you didn't do anything wrong to me."
Lin Jiao's heart jolted when she heard that. Then, she heard Ye Chen say, "Alright, you guys should go back now. Don't catch a cold."
Lin Jiao forced a smile the moment Ye Chen turned around. "W-Are we still friends?"
"Friend?"
Ye Chen stopped walking and said as if he was mocking, "You're the young mistress of the Lin family and the boss of a company. How can I, Ye Chen, be friends with you?"
"I …"
Lin Jiao's face turned pale. She could not help but move her lips. However, just when the words reached her mouth, she realized how weak they were.
She knew that Ye Chen was mocking her for stopping him from being with Su Yuhan time and time again. That was the truth. She had never looked at Ye Chen properly back then, so how could they be friends?
Now that she thought about it, it was a joke.
She could not help but cry as she thought about it.
'I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!
I shouldn't have looked down on you back then. I shouldn't have stopped you from being with Su Yuhan.
The poor guy back then was now a dragon in the sky. He had become the Master Ye that everyone looked up to.
The truth proved that Su Yuhan's choice was right!
Just when Han Xu helped her up and planned to leave quietly, a cold voice came from behind.
"Haha, although you're not my friend, you're Su Yuhan's best friend. That's enough!"
Lin Jiao was over the moon. She turned her head to look and realized that Ye Chen had disappeared into the rain.
…
At the Surge River.
Ye Wen sat on a chair and stared blankly at the rumbling waves far away. Her pretty face was filled with worry, and she had lost a lot of weight.
At that moment, Ou Lan, who was wearing a sexy bikini that revealed her private parts, walked over. She handed him a glass of iced orange juice and said while smiling, "Alright, alright. It's rare for you to come out to play. Don't look so sad."
"Sister Ou Lan, do you think there's a person in this world who has the same voice, height, and even the same tone?" Ye Wen asked in deep thought as she took the glass of orange juice.
She had been searching for the person who had saved her that night like a madman for the past few days. However, she could not find anything.
Since Ye Chen knew how to craft magic tools, she could not help but suspect that the person who saved her that night was her cousin.
Ou Lan bit her straw and rolled her eyes at her. "Why are you thinking so much? Why don't you ask Mr. Ye directly?"
She was pissed at the mention of Ye Chen. Ever since he healed her father's illness, they had not seen each other much.
Ou Lan could sense that Ye Chen seemed to be widening the distance between them.
Ye Wen forced a smile upon hearing that.
She wanted to apologize to Ye Chen when she visited him last time, but she did not have the courage to say it out loud. She found out that Ye Chen had left when she went there again.
To cheer her up, Ou Lan suddenly said mysteriously, "Oh yeah, have you heard of the Tiannan Martial Arts Competition?"
Ye Wen shook her head in a blur.
"I heard that it's a low-key event organized by all the wealthy families in Tiannan, but the news has spread now."
Ou Lan said with excitement written all over her face, "I heard that the martial arts competition is a ring. It's much more brutal than what you see on TV. I heard that there are ancient martial artists there, and some of them can crush the ground with a single stomp."
She had heard the news from a friend who went to Swallowtail Town. The friend was there too, and she boasted about it to her as soon as the event ended.
However, she did not believe it.
"What happened then?" Ye Wen was a little distracted.
Ou Lan inhaled and proceeded to speak, "I heard that the champion of the martial arts competition is called Master Ye. All the wealthy families in Tiannan recognize him as their master."
"Master Ye?"
Ye Wen was stunned. She would think of her cousin by instinct whenever she heard someone with the surname Ye now.
Could it really be him?
Ye Wen looked at Ou Lan immediately and said, "Sister Ou Lan, where did you hear that from?"
"A friend of mine. She was there too," Ou Lan said without even thinking about it.
Ye Wen said rather anxiously, "Then, can you ask your friend if she has a video of that Master Ye? Even a photo will do. "
Ou Lan looked troubled. She said after some hesitation, "Alright then, I'll ask for you. However, I can't guarantee anything."
Just when she picked up her phone and was going to call her friend, she heard a series of exclamations coming from around all of a sudden.
"Look, there's someone on the river!"
Ou Lan and Ye Wen looked over immediately. They saw a faint black silhouette on the blurry river surface. It looked like a blurry person, and it was running towards the shore at a high speed.
Within the short span of a few breaths, the black silhouette was completely exposed to everyone's sight.
"It's really a person, and it's an old man."
"Oh my god, am I seeing this right? He's running on the river surface. He's running on his feet, and he's not using any external objects at all."
"He's so fast. He's coming to us."
"…"
The group of tourists was stunned. They looked at the river surface with shock written all over their faces. They saw an old man in traditional attire running on the river surface at an extremely fast speed.
He stirred up white waves with every step he took. To the outsiders, he looked like he was floating on the legendary Iron Palm Water.
The old man stood proudly on the river surface with his clothes fluttering in the wind. He looked like he was connected to the sky and water.
