The lady turned her head to look immediately. She had disappointment on her face.
‘So, this is Sir Ye?’
She had told her brother that Sir Ye must be handsome before this. Never had she thought that she would be so disappointed. Although her brother said nothing, she seemed to be able to hear the hysterical laughter coming from him.
Her friendliness faded as she merely nodded at Ye Chen by way of greeting. The young man, on the other hand, smiled lightly. “You must be Sir Ye. I’m Yu Lei who called you earlier. Oh yeah, this is my sister, Yu Lian.”
Compared to Yu Lian, Yu Lei was indifferent about Ye Chen. After all, he was a man, so he cared little about the appearance of the same sex. The only thing that surprised him was that Ye Chen was so young. He barely looked older than him.
“Nice to meet you!” Ye Chen smiled lightly in response to him.
‘Hmm, a mediocre appearance with a bit of arrogance. Doesn’t seem to be good at talking as well.’ That was the first impression Yu Lian had of Ye Chen.
“Stop talking, Brother. Let’s go. It’s almost time,” Yu Lian stood aside and said softly in dissatisfaction. She could foresee that the trip would be boring.
“Here’s your ticket, Sir Ye!” Yu Lei handed the air ticket to Ye Chen while smiling. They then walked into the terminal. Ye Chen realized that the terminal was so crowded that he could only see heads and long queues when he looked over. Most of them were dressed in odd clothing.
“Hmm?” He stopped walking and scanned the place with his Divine Consciousness. He sensed different consciousness powers in the lounge. These people even had supernatural power waves in their bodies.
‘Can they be going to the Longmen Convention?’ Ye Chen secretly speculated.
This reminded him of what he had seen when he was going to Hong Kong. Although he knew that there would be many people going to the Longmen Convention, he did not expect there to be this many. After all, there were only two to three Spell Masters out of ten people.
Yu Lei, who walked in front, turned his head and asked after noticing that Ye Chen suddenly stopped. “Sir Ye, what’s wrong?”
Yu Lian also could not help but glance at Ye Chen after hearing what Yu Lei said. She thought it was Ye Chen’s first time riding on a plane, so he seemed to be overwhelmed. She secretly shook her head as she thought about it, but she said nothing.
“Nothing.” Ye Chen shook his head lightly and caught up with them.
Soon after he left, an old man in traditional Chinese attire at the ticket counter suddenly looked in the direction where Ye Chen disappeared, seeming to be in deep thought. Surprise flashed across his face.
A lady in black martial arts attire walked over with two flight tickets in her hand. She asked by instinct, “What’s wrong, Master?”
“I’m not sure why, but I felt a sharp gleam stinging me earlier as if someone was watching me,” the old man mumbled. He had goosebumps all over his body from that short moment as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake. He felt pressured, but the tension flitted across immediately.
“It can’t be.” The lady was in slight disbelief. “Master, you’re the famous Bashan monk. If we were to talk about feng shui and spells, Xianyang City aside, I don’t think there are many people that can surpass you in the entire China.”
She was from the spell world too, so it was only natural for her to know a Spell Master would have a powerful sixth sense. To put it simply, the sixth sense was one’s consciousness power. It allowed one to know that one was being watched. It would mean that the spy had a powerful consciousness power.
“Perhaps the air-conditioning is too cold here.” The old man shook his head lightly, but he was satisfied with what his disciple said earlier. “I’ve prepared for a long time for this Longmen Convention. I must regain my dignity and take back the treasure, the Mountain Ruler, that belongs to my Bashan from Mojin.”
“That’s right. The people from Morin are just too much. They’ve been suppressing us throughout the years. Master, you’ve been taking in all of the insults as you’ve waited for the day of revenge to come,” the lady said in rage.
The old man smiled in confidence. “Apart from Shen Tiannan from Hong Kong and Zhang Kedi from the Dragon Tiger Mountain, nobody is my match in this Longmen Convention. Even if I have to fight Shen Tiannan, I’m not afraid!”
Yu Lian took a good look at Ye Chen again after they took their seats on the plane. She could not help but ask, “Oh yeah, why are we going to the sinkhole in Shennongjia? It’s filled with fire, and it’s hot. There’s nothing to see there. Don’t tell me that a regular man like you is going to watch the Longmen Convention.”
They were the Fire Phoenix, thus it was natural for them to be able to read a person. However, she realized that she could not fathom Ye Chen from the beginning until now. However, she was sure that he was not a cultivator because his fingers were as thin as lady’s. He did not look like an ancient martial artist who trained. He looked more like a wealthy young master who had never tasted hardship.
“I’m just going to check it out!” Ye Chen did not say much.
Yu Lian scoffed and turned her head around speechlessly.
In Hubei Province, Fang County, two hours later, a mountain off-road vehicle finally pulled over at the border of a village in the county. Yu Lei parked by the road, and turned his head to say to Ye Chen after turning off the engine, “Sir Ye, we’re here.”
Ye Chen nodded lightly and followed them out of the car. However, he realized there were cars around, and most of them were luxury cars with the cheapest being a Bentley. What confused him was that most of them were regular people.
Yu Lian walked aside in an attempt to make a call.
“Sister Yu Lian, we’re over here!”
At that moment, a joyful voice came from far away. A young lady wearing a blue and white shirt with a ponytail ran over. There was a strong young man who looked 15 or 16 years old following behind her.
“Zhizhi!” Yu Lian had joy on her pretty face.
When the young lady arrived, she said with her cheeks flushed and panting, “Sister Yu Lian, you guys are finally here. I thought you guys weren’t coming.”
“There was traffic along the way. That’s why we’re late,” Yu Lian said while smiling.
She felt like an idiot when she said that. Because of the cars along the way, they had gotten stuck in traffic for half an hour. She could not help but glance at Ye Chen with resentment while she thought that she would not have suffered that if not for Ye Chen.
“Don’t worry about it. My dad asked us to come because he was worried. It’s great that you guys made it.” Zhizhi glanced at Ye Chen like he was a stranger, then she said in a friendly manner, “Sister Yu Lian, Brother Yu Lei, let’s go. My dad hunted some wild animals in the mountain today. It’s your lucky day.”
“Zhizhi, let me introduce you to someone!” Yu Lei called out to her and introduced while looking at Ye Chen, “This is Ye Chen. He’s our leader. Just call him Brother Ye Chen. Mr. Ye, this is Zhizhi. She has just turned 19. You guys come from the same family since she shares the family name Ye too. The shy guy behind her is Ye Shan. He’s 15 this year.”
“Hi, Brother Ye Chen.” Zhizhi smiled sweetly.
Her brother, Ye Shan, on the other hand, hung his head bashfully.
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Nice to meet you!”
Zhizhi shook Ye Shan, who was looking at Ye Chen in admiration. “Brother Ye Chen, Sister Yu Lian and Brother Yu Lei are already so powerful, but you’re their leader. You must be v-very powerful!”
Ye Chen was in between tears and laughter. “I’m not powerful!”
Yu Lian secretly scoffed. ‘At least, you know your limitation!’
As they were following Zhizhi into the village, an extremely arrogant and boastful voice came from behind all of a sudden, “Scram, all of you! Master Xiegu is coming through. We won’t be responsible for anyone getting hurt!”
