Others may not be impressed by the name Ye Chong for a while, but they have all heard of it, and in the recent period of time, in the aristocratic circle of Chaoge City, as well as the marriage contract turmoil that spread from the Shenjiang Courtyard to the Qinglan Courtyard, setting off a lot of gossip trends.

"Ye Chonglou's son?" a guy stared at Ye Chong, and this sentence subconsciously popped out of his mouth.

In the minds of many people, the protagonist of this matter is not the name Ye Chong, but his identity as the son of Ye Chonglou.

Su Qing'er, the son of the former first assassin and the daughter of the Marquis of Changchun, is the protagonist of this incident.

Ye Chong didn't know that his divorce from the Shen family had become the most fashionable topic of conversation in some circles of Chaoge City, and the re-excavation and speculation about Ye Chonglou's deeds caused by this incident was spreading its influence in a subtle manner.

The divorce incident is like a stone thrown on the surface of the lake, and the deeds of Ye Chonglou are brought up again, like layers of ripples after the stone falls into the lake.

Originally, it was just a private matter between two families, but it was spread through people's gossip and spread its influence, and behind this matter, eighty percent of them may have a behind-the-scenes promoter.

At this time, re-excavating Ye Chonglou's deeds back then, those who contributed to the troubles naturally had ulterior motives.

In some of the high-gate courtyards of Chaoge City, there are some big people, who are also alone in their own study, quietly doubting and deducing who has what purpose to revisit the old things of the past.

But all this was too far away from Ye Chong, and Ye Chong, who was in the center of the vortex on the surface, didn't know anything about it.

Similarly, for the several disciples of Qinglan Academy at this moment, they were more interested in the gossip itself. She is the daughter of Shen Fengyang, the Marquis of Changchun, an outstanding female disciple of Qinglan Academy, and the young lady Hou Fu, who is coveted by many young talents, and the divorce of the son of the first assassin Ye Chonglou.

And now, the protagonist of the divorce is standing in front of them.

For a moment, everyone's eyes became strange.

The scene really fell into embarrassment, only Shen Qian'er seemed to be unconscious, and proudly stretched out her hand to point at Ye Chong and said, "You toad, did you borrow money from my sister before, did you mean it?

Ye Chong rolled his eyes at the girl helplessly, and said in his heart This girl is really worthy of being Shen Fengyang's daughter, with all kinds of conspiracy theories, if it weren't for her young age and ignorance, Ye Chong really wanted to reply to her, Swan classmate, you spread your wings and fly one for me!

Fortunately, Shen Qing'er was not as naïve as her sister, she glared at Shen Qian'er and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't met Ye Chong before, and it was an accident that day, he shouldn't have known that I was Shen Qing'er at that time." ”

Shen Qing'er knew very well that if it weren't for the danger of that little beggar, there would be no intersection between them, and that incident could not have been deliberately planned by Ye Chong, and he didn't have that ability.

When he arrived at this field, Ye Chong didn't need to continue to argue or explain anything with them, but sat down leisurely again, drank tea, and rested.

Although the disciples of Qinglan Academy had strange faces, because they were not parties, they did not intervene again, but under the greeting of Cheng Linghuo, they all sat down at a table not far from Ye Chong, drinking tea and eating their own dry food.

It's just that from time to time, someone will glance at Ye Chong, who is sitting alone.

Fortunately, Ye Chong showed enough inner strength, and he had been waiting for Shen Qing'er and them to leave first. Because they are also heading to the Barren Mountain, there is only this one big road, if they get up and leave now, they will still be caught up by them in a while, after all, the other party is riding a horse.

Ye Chong simply waited for them to ride away, and then got up again, so that he wouldn't run into it again.

Although he is strong enough in his heart, he still feels a little hurt to endure these strange stares every time.

It seems that a group of people on the other side also have such a tacit understanding, and they quickly solved the dry food, and then got up to pay the bill, ready to get on the horse and leave.

At this time, Shen Qing'er said something in Shen Qian'er's ear, and the latter was a little reluctant on his face, but in the end, he still pouted and nodded, and got on Shen Qing'er's horse.

And Shen Qing'er led her sister's white horse and came to Ye Chong.

"You're going to the Barren Mountains too, aren't you?"

Su Qing'er looked at Ye Chongdao.

Ye Chong was not surprised that the other party could see his destination, after all, this road only led to the Barren Mountain, and he, who was supposed to be cultivating in the Divine General's Courtyard, had no other reason to appear here.

He nodded, "Yes." ”

"You...... It's too dangerous to go to the barren mountains alone, or ...... After all, there are seven of us here, and our cultivation is basically in the Qi Sea Realm Dual Heaven and Triple Heaven. Su Qing'er said with some hesitation, in fact, she couldn't understand how Ye Chong dared to go to the Barren Mountain alone.

She had heard from Shen Qian'er that Ye Chong's current cultivation was just a heavy heaven in the Qi Sea Realm, which was tantamount to going to death.

Moreover, her invitation can also alleviate the situation of the Shen family, which is currently on the cusp of the limelight.

Although they are divorced, they still go to the barren mountains together like friends, and after the news is spread, there should be fewer voices that secretly orchestrate the ingratitude of the Shen family.

So even in the face of Ye Chong, Shen Qing'er's mood was a little complicated, but she still made this invitation.

As the eldest lady of Chang Chunhou, she naturally thinks about things much more comprehensively than the young and ignorant Shen Qian'er, and her mind is much more delicate.

Ye Chong saw her intentions and understood the reason why she did this, the moment his identity was revealed by Shen Qian'er, they would no longer just have a few faces, a little shallow friendship, or a passerby who admired each other a little.

And Shen Qing'er naturally can't always be the chivalrous woman who fights on the streets.

However, Ye Chong still shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, however, I can only act alone." ”

He went to the Barren Mountain this time to use the Moon Xuan Sword to hunt enough desolate beasts to exchange for the Yellow Rank Scroll he needed, and if he went with Shen Qing'er and them, it would naturally be inconvenient to use the Moon Xuan Sword, so he could only be a soy sauce player in their small team, similar to Shen Qian'er. The final harvest is naturally difficult to achieve the purpose of this trip.

He refused.

Shen Qing'er pursed the corners of her lips, and suddenly thought, was it because he knew his identity that he still had five taels of silver, so he wanted to stick to his dignity and pride?

Shen Qing'er understood his father's methods and could imagine that perhaps this young man had indeed suffered some grievances in that incident.

But since the other party rejected her kindness, she naturally has her own principles and will not force anything to change.

"Okay, then you be careful, Qian'er's horse will be given to you. ”

After Shen Qing'er said this, she handed the reins of the white horse to Ye Chong. Then without giving Ye Chong a chance to refuse again, she turned around and walked in front of her own horse without any delay, turned over, rode with Shen Qian'er, and rode away along the main road with the disciples of Qinglan Academy.

Ye Chong held the reins of the white horse, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "In the end, there are still some Miss Houfu's domineering, although there is no lack of kindness. ”

Ye Chong drank two more bowls of tea, estimating that Shen Qing'er and the others had already gone away, so he paid for the tea, rode the white horse, and marched in the direction of the barren mountain.

……

When Ye Chong came to the foot of the barren mountain, it was already evening, and only half of his red body was left in the setting sun, dyeing half of the sky red.

The barren mountains, covered in dense forests, are looming into the clouds, and there are white clouds at the peaks.

Because there are wild beasts on the mountain, there are basically no villages or tribes at the foot of the mountain, only a few post stations for people who come to hunt wild beasts to place their mounts.

Ye Chong saw the mounts of Shen Qing'er's group in the post station, presumably having entered the mountain at this time.

At the same time, not far in front of him, several men with swords on their shoulders were also walking towards the mountain.

Ye Chong tied his horses, walked in the opposite direction to those men, burrowed into the dense forest, and headed towards the barren mountain.

After entering the mountain forest, the light suddenly dimmed a lot, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled through the leaves in the dense forest, which was already a little more damp and cold.

Ye Chong held the hilt of the long sword at his waist in his hand, and bowed forward step by step.

The desolate beasts are also divided into the fourth order of heaven and earth, the fourth order, and the third order. Most of the desolate beasts in this barren mountain are in the Yellow Rank and the Xuan Rank, the Yellow Rank gathers under the mountainside, and the Xuan Rank lives above the mountainside. It is said that many years ago, there was a ground-level desolate beast here, which not only has spirituality, but also understands human language, and can transform into a shape, which is a disaster, but in the end it was strangled by the strong people of all parties, and the body parts of the earth-level desolate beast have become materials for refining various spiritual weapons, which is extremely precious.

Ye Chong came this time, as long as he killed the desolate beast in the middle of the Yellow Order, captured the desolate pill, and some precious spiritual weapon materials, it was enough to walk under the mountainside.

But even so, it is dangerous for him to walk alone.

You must always be vigilant, make the most of the Moon Sword, and avoid encountering attacks from the herd.

Therefore, he was very cautious, and after entering the deep mountains, he did not walk around and actively look for the wild beast, but found an ancient tree that was hundreds of years old in a very dense jungle.

He first used his long sword to dig a few large pits around the ancient tree, then found branches and grass blades to cover them, and put a few pieces of fat on top of the pit that he had bought in advance.

With all this laid out, he himself quickly climbed the great tree, hidden among the branches and leaves.

The method he chose was to wait for the rabbit and trap the beast.
