Chapter 14: Encounters
"Hmm!" The young man seemed to be born with few words, nodded, and said flatly: "The competition just now is very exciting, it seems that your strength has not only recovered, but also improved a lot!"
Ye Tianchen was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "It seems that you have had a good life in Stormwind City, and now you have cultivated to the level of a military general." ”
A trace of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, obviously he didn't expect Ye Tianchen to be able to tell his strength in one word, but he couldn't see through Ye Tianchen's true strength at all, two fine lights suddenly shot out of his eyes, and said, "Ye Tianchen, how far have you cultivated now, why can't I see through your strength?"
"Hehe!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and chuckled, and said, "You don't have to worry about this. ”
The young man didn't seem to care at all, his right hand slowly moved to his waist, his eyes burned with a scorching light, and he said word by word: "I want to challenge you!"
"Chen Dechao. ”
Lan Bingling, who was standing on the side, snorted lightly, frowned slightly, and said, "Chen Dechao, please pay attention to the current occasion." ”
Chen Dechao didn't squint, he didn't seem to hear Lan Bingling's shouting, his eyes were fixed on Ye Tianchen, waiting for his reply.
The corners of Ye Tianchen's mouth rose slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting, then shook his head and said, "Now I am not your opponent, and there is no point in you challenging me." ”
Chen Dechao's eyes were full of fighting intent, he shook his head slowly, and said: "Whether it is you who have restored the name of genius now, or you who were a waste of wood five years ago, I have never despised you, and I have always regarded you as my biggest opponent, and this will not change no matter what, because I know that as long as I relax a little, I will be able to be surpassed by you, you are not the kind of person who is willing to be trampled underfoot." ”
Ye Tianchen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, secretly smiled bitterly, and said, "Aren't you also such a person?" Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "But you will never be my opponent, because you will never be able to surpass me, just like five years ago!"
"Hehe!" Chen Dechao showed a rare smile on his face, nodded and glanced at the high platform, turned around and walked outside the martial arts arena, stopped after walking a few steps, and said as if pointed: "Well, this time I am waiting for you to challenge, take care!"
"I won't keep you waiting!"
Ye Tianchen looked at Chen Dechao's departing back, chuckled and shook his head, with an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Third brother, do you really want to compete with him?"
A trace of worry flashed in Ye Tianhua's eyes, he knew a lot about Ye Tianchen and Chen Dechao. Five years ago, Chen Dechao and his third brother were called the two super geniuses of Tianlin City, but Chen Dechao was always a little worse than his third brother in any aspect. Because of this, Chen Dechao has challenged his third brother many times, although each time he has failed, but he is becoming more and more courageous, and he still keeps challenging his third brother.
"Hehe!" Ye Tianchen chuckled thoughtfully and said, "Maybe it won't be long before he gives up completely, because then I will let him know how big the gap between the two of us is!"
Ye Tianhua couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing Ye Tianchen's temperament, he couldn't help but pray for Chen Dechao secretly in his heart, the original worry was also completely disappeared in Ye Tianchen's words, because he believed that Ye Tianchen must have absolute certainty to say such a thing, for this, he was convinced!
"Brother Tianchen, don't pay attention to him, let's go play!"
After Lan Bingling finished speaking, he took Ye Tianchen's hand and ran out quickly, Ye Tianhua stood in place, couldn't help touching the back of his head in embarrassment, and didn't follow with a wry smile.
.......
.......
The bright moonlight shines on the surface of the lake, adding a sense of mystery to the already extremely quiet catkins lake. The catkins fluttered in the wind, and a little moonlight spilled onto the ground through its cracks.
Ye Tianchen and the two walked side by side on the lakeside path, and the gentle breeze blew their clothes fluttering in the air. Ye Tianchen raised his hand and pointed to the wooden bench by the lake, and said with a smile: "Let's go sit there for a while!"
Looking at the back of the slowly leaving, a complicated look flashed in Lan Bingling's eyes, Brother Tianchen five years ago finally came back again. Then he laughed lightly and followed behind the young man who was not too tall, but could bring him a sense of safety and tranquility.
The two sat quietly side by side, neither of them wanted to break this rare tranquility, quietly looking at the boats swaying on the lake in the distance, their eyes were like the clear water, calm and not waves.
"Huh!?"
Lan Bingling suddenly let out a surprise and pointed not far away and said, "Brother Tianchen, you see that sister's back is so lonely, there shouldn't be any thoughts that you can't think of!"
Ye Tianchen looked at Lan Bingling's hand, and saw that under the catkins flying, a girl in a white jumpsuit, lonely and lonely, the white clothes swaying in the wind fluttered behind her, which made her feel a little more repulsive. My heart moved inexplicably, the loneliness revealed by this back was so similar to my self not long ago, and then I shook my head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Everyone has their own troubles, that girl may just come out to relax!"
"Huh!?" Lan Bingling frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "Brother Tianchen, I always feel that sister is very pitiful, you wait here for a while, I'll ask her!"
Without waiting for Ye Tianchen to speak, Lan Bingling had already walked over and was talking to the girl at this time, but the girl didn't seem to want to pay attention to her, shaking her head from time to time. Ye Tianchen sighed helplessly, and secretly said that this girl still likes to take care of other people's affairs so much, she was like this when she was a child, but she didn't expect that after so many years, this point still hasn't changed.
At this time, the girl suddenly turned her head to look over, a beautiful and refined face, under the light of the bright moonlight, it seemed even more dusty, slightly frowned, people couldn't help but want to use their tenderness to soothe the sorrow in their hearts at first sight.
Ye Tianchen was slightly stunned, almost lost in the girl's seemingly endless melancholy face, and when he saw the two of them walking over, he stood up and nodded with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Hee-hee... Sister Mu, this is what I just said about Brother Tianchen, my Brother Tianchen is very powerful!" Lan Bingling was like a child at this time, showing off his beloved toys to others. Then he took the girl's hand and sat down, forgetting Ye Tianchen, who was standing on the side with a wry smile.
A faint smile appeared on the girl's slightly sad face, and she nodded: "Hello, my name is Mu Ningxue!"
"Hello, my name is Ye Tianchen!"
After Ye Tianchen said hello, he turned around and looked at the lake in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hehe!" Lan Bingling mistakenly thought that Ye Tianchen was embarrassed, covered his mouth and chuckled: "Brother Tianchen is shy! Hehe, it's the first time I've seen Brother Tianchen's shy appearance! Sister Mu's charm is so great!"
"Girl..."Ye Tianchen quietly glanced at Mu Ningxue, who was silent with a smile, and pretended to be fierce: "Girl, if you are talking nonsense, you can play here by yourself!"
"Hey, are you willing to leave me alone?" After speaking, he grimaced at Ye Tianchen, snorted lightly, put his hands around his chest, and said nothing with his small mouth.
"Uh..." Ye Tianchen touched his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "This little girl has always been open-mouthed, I can't do anything about her, please don't be surprised by Miss Mu!"
"No!" Mu Ningxue shook her head, touched Lan Bingling's little head, and chuckled: "I think Sister Lan has a very good temperament, so if you have something to say, just say it..."
"Hehe!" Ye Tianchen laughed dryly, and then asked suspiciously: "I just saw that between the girl's eyebrows, there was a faint sadness, could it be that I encountered something troublesome, I might as well say it, maybe our brother and sister can help some." ”
Lan Bingling, who had been sulking, heard this, and hurriedly took Mu Ningxue's hand and echoed: "Yes, Sister Mu has encountered any difficulties, Brother Tianchen is very capable, he will definitely be able to help my sister!"
Ye Tianchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, this girl really knows how to wear a high hat for herself, seeing that Mu Ningxue didn't want to say more, she couldn't help laughing, turned around again, looked at the lake with silver light in the distance, and sighed lightly: "Sadness crawls on the eyebrows, bright eyes show bitterness, don't sigh lightly flashy and false, don't let your tears stain your wet clothes, the fog will blind your eyes, and there will be a time to dissipate." ”
Her body trembled slightly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of Mu Ningxue's mouth, and she shook her head slowly, but she didn't speak.
Lan Bingling's little girl was immersed in the artistic conception of the words and sentences, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward!
"Ning Xue, so you're here!"
A surprised voice suddenly came from the side, Ye Tianchen looked back, and saw a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, chic and uninhibited, walking towards this side with a smile, and when he saw Chen Dechao following behind the young man, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Mu Ningxue frowned slightly and looked at the visitor, nodded slightly, and did not speak.
Lan Bingling frowned, as if she was trying to remember something. Ye Tianchen noticed the abnormality of this girl, and couldn't help but ask softly, "What's wrong with the girl?"
"Huh!?" Lan Bingling was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said softly: "This person seems to have seen him somewhere, but he just can't remember it." ”
"Hehe, don't think about it if you can't think of it. Ye Tianchen touched Lan Bingling's head, looked at the two people who had come to him, and nodded to Chen Dechao.
"Ning Xue, who are they?" the young man glanced at Ye Tianchen, his expression was faintly displeased, and he asked in a slightly questioning tone.
"A friend I just met. Mu Ningxue said softly.
"Hmm. The young man nodded and said, "It's getting late, it's windy by the lake, let's go back early!" After speaking, he wanted to hold Mu Ningxue's hand, but Mu Ningxue avoided it quietly, looking at Mu Ningxue's figure leaving, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Chen Dechao saw Ye Tianchen staring closely at the two people who left, a sly smile appeared on his cold face, and he said softly: "I advise you to stay away from her, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are often." Huh..."
Ye Tianchen was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "Girl, let's go back too!"
"Ah?... Oh!" Lan Bingling seemed to be a little absent-minded, followed behind Ye Tianchen, just took a few steps, and suddenly exclaimed, "I remembered, that person just now was the young master of Stormwind City-Lin Shuhang!"
"Stormwind!?"
