Chapter 9: The Emperor's Youth

This time, Ye Chen went back with a blue nose and swollen face. Jiang Yingyue couldn't help but worry about him when she saw him like this again. Fortunately, it was like this for two days in a row, and Jiang Yingyue began to suspect Ye Chen's behavior of going out.

In the evening, when Ye Chen picked up the dragon scales again, the old man quietly came to the roof of his house. After uncovering a tile and seeing Ye Chen's actions, the old man affirmed his earlier conjecture.

When Ye Chen went out the next day, Jiang Yingyue hurriedly cleaned up the stall and quietly followed behind him.

But when Ye Chen came to the grove before, he found that the old man was not there. Ye Chen thought that the old man was late, so he sat down against a tree, pulled out the sword in his hand and gestured.

Jiang Yingyue hid behind a big tree not far away, looking at Ye Chen quietly, looking at him like this, Jiang Yingyue concluded that he was waiting for someone, so he kept hiding, afraid of being seen by Ye Chen.

"You dead old man, you dare to break the appointment? It's only been two days, it seems that you really think I said that I was bluffing you?" Ye Chen muttered to himself.

He waited for a long time but still didn't see the old man's figure, and suddenly a fire burst out of his heart, and he took the low bushes with his sword to vent.

In fact, the old man had rushed here to wait for him before him, but the old man noticed Jiang Yingyue's existence, so he hid and refused to show up.

The old man just wanted to teach Ye Chen, and didn't want to cause too much trouble, Jiang Yingyue was thoughtful, and the old man naturally didn't want her to know her relationship with Ye Chen.

For the old man, Ye Chen, a fledgling and casual kid, is easier to coax than Jiang Yingyue, and it is easier to communicate.

Ye Chen vented to himself, completely unaware that there were already two people secretly peeping at him. The bushes became shorter and shorter under his anger, and after a few strokes, the bushes, which were originally one person tall, suddenly became shorter than Ye Chen's calves.

"You dead old man, it looks like you're not going to be here today. Don't think that I can't do it without you, I can become a top master without your guidance. ”

Ye Chen muttered to himself, turned around and began to practice his sword seriously. Jiang Yingyue's eyes widened when she saw that he was so skilled in practicing swords.

She had suspected the origin of the sword in Ye Chen's hand before, and she had also asked Ye Chen. But she thought about it, there were no outsiders in this lonely mountain village, and she had never heard of anyone who knew martial arts, so she didn't care at first.

But looking at Ye Chen's sword practice so well now, and judging from Ye Chen's unusual performance recently, she can be sure that someone must be secretly teaching Ye Chen's martial arts.

Jiang Yingyue, who felt deceived, couldn't calm down anymore, and took the initiative to appear and walk towards Ye Chen.

"Okay, you, no wonder you are so abnormal during this time, it turns out that you are secretly practicing swords behind my back. Have you turned a deaf ear to my words? You've been practicing for so long, why hasn't your master shown up? Are you deliberately avoiding me for fear that I will bump into me?"

Jiang Yingyue said and walked towards Ye Chen step by step, her voice raised. With her intelligence and wisdom, she naturally knew that she had been discovered, so she wanted to use this to force the person who taught Ye Chen to come out.

"Mother, why are you here? Why are you not at home, what are you doing here?"

When Ye Chen heard this, he was stunned when he saw Jiang Yingyue walking towards him angrily, and he was stunned.

"Say, where did you get this sword?And who taught you these swordsmanship?" Jiang Yingyue ignored Ye Chen, and grabbed him when she came up and questioned.

Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly retreated and said, "I'...... I told you before! This sword is picked up, and I just make a few random strokes, I don't have a master. ”

"Don't fool me, I have already told you your true life experience, as the daughter-in-law of a martial arts family, do you think I really can't see if you have someone to teach you?

"This ...... This ......"

Ye Chen was speechless when he heard this, and in the face of his mother's questioning, he couldn't find an excuse to go back for a while.

"You don't have to push him, I taught him. ”

At that moment, a voice echoed through the trees, a breeze blew, and a figure in the distance slowly walked towards them.

After hearing this, Jiang Yingyue let go of the hand holding Ye Chen and looked around. I saw the old man in the distance walking slowly, and a few dodges came to the two of them.

"It's you, Grandpa Hua, you used to know martial arts...... Jiang Yingyue had a look of disbelief on her face after seeing the old man's face.

"It's me, I came here thirty years ago, and I haven't shown my skills, and so far, only you mother and son know that I can do martial arts. The old man stroked his beard and said.

"Ye Chen, this kid is extremely talented, and he is a good material for martial arts. I know what you're worried about, and I know what you're hiding. But let me tell you, a few days ago, a group of killers from the Shura Hall came here, you are very smart, who do you think they are here for?"

The old man said and glanced at Jiang Yingyue leisurely. And where was the pestle that she had already stunned after hearing this, and she was stunned.

"No...... No, no one knows the whereabouts of our mother and son, you lied to me, you lied to me, right?" Jiang Yingyue shook her head desperately, unwilling to believe the old man's words.

"Believe it or not, I've already sent those guys, but I'm sure they'll come back soon, and there will be more than a dozen or so of them. Things have come to this point, don't you want Ye Chen to learn something to save his life??"

"Ye Chen has nothing to do with you, why do you want to teach him martial arts? Do you dare to say that you didn't pay attention to our mother and son?" Jiang Yingyue asked.

"Hehe, dragon scales? I'm not uncommon with that! I'm a man who is about to enter the earth, do you think I'll still need dragon scales? Besides, it's not like I haven't seen dragon scales when I was in the world, and dragon scales are really not a rare commodity to me. ”

"Who are you?" Jiang Yingyue said.

"My name is Huangfu Qingyun. ”

"Huangfu Qingyun, you are the one who defeated the seven masters of the Shura Hall with his own strength thirty years ago, and then defeated Lin Zhentian?"

Jiang Yingyue opened her mouth wide when she heard this, and she couldn't believe that the famous predecessor in the rivers and lakes was actually the ragged old man in front of her at this moment.

"Huangfu Qingyun, is it very powerful, mother?" Ye Chen asked leisurely when he saw his mother so surprised.

"It's all a legend, can it not be powerful? It's just that I don't understand why you suddenly disappeared thirty years ago and disappeared from the world. And why did you come to this small village that is almost isolated from the rest of the world, and stay for thirty years?" Jiang Yingyue said.

"Thirty years ago, the Shura Hall attacked the righteous people on a large scale, and I was injured after fighting the seven masters of the Shura Temple, and I was tired of the battles in the rivers and lakes, so I took this opportunity to choose to live in seclusion to this ....... ”

The old man told Jiang Yingyue about the events of the year, but he didn't say a word about his benefactor, nor did he tell him that he came here to be entrusted by his benefactor.

"Now that I've told you everything, are you still at ease with me? Dragon scales are always a hot potato in your hands, don't you have any strength to protect it well? Are you still against Ye Chen's martial arts practice now?"

"This ...... Naturally, the juniors will not doubt you, but you just said that the Shura Hall will come again, can it be useful for Ye Chen to learn from you in such a short period of time?" Jiang Yingyue raised her head and said.

"It's really useless to face top masters, but if it's a scuffle, a little cultivation, the chance of saving your life is a little greater. You must know that the dragon scales are in your hands, and the Shura Hall will not let you go no matter what. ”

"There is no good in blindly escaping, the Shura Hall is extremely powerful and numerous. Only if you are strong enough, can you not be bullied, this is an eternal truth, if you are strong, it will be your opponent who is afraid. The old man said.

"Yes, I want to be strong, I want to be so strong that no one dares to bully me, and I want to make those who have hurt my Ye family pay the price. Ye Chen said with great firmness when he heard this.

"Alas......"

Jiang Yingyue sighed and shook her head slightly. She originally didn't want Ye Chen to set foot in the rivers and lakes again, she had already lost her lover and the family she once had, and she didn't want to lose Ye Chen, her only relative. In order for Ye Chen to stay away from the strife, she came to this remote place, so that even the great hatred of the extermination of the clan could be put aside, and she just wanted Ye Chen to be safe.

And in its current form, the Shura Hall would come back at any time, in order to give Ye Chen a little more hope of survival, she had to let Ye Chen follow the old man to cultivate. Even if she knew that Ye Chen's purpose in cultivation was to take revenge, she couldn't stop him at this moment.

Ye Chen, you have to study hard, if you want to learn, you should be like learning, don't end up being a half-ass, you can't be high or low, it's better not to learn. ”

Jiang Yingyue said to Ye Chen and turned around and left, it didn't do her any good to stay here. She had already learned from the old man that the Shura Hall would come sooner or later. With her temperament, she won't sit still, she has to rush back and make some preparations.
