Super God Grandmaster

Chapter 209: Chapter 203: Catching Red Heroes Chapter 209: Chapter 203: Catching Red Heroes Ling’er said, “How could a leader suggest that we should fend for ourselves if we encounter danger?”

Ye Chen replied, “So you think the only correct thing to do when things are beyond redemption is to go down with the ship? I must apologize, but if things truly come to that, don’t expect me to stay and accompany you in death.”

“Even if you want to accompany me, I don’t need that. I prefer some peace.”

“Indeed, but why would I accompany you in death? You aren’t really my wife.”

“Thinking of becoming my husband with your scaredy-cat guts? I wouldn’t want that.”

“That’s for the best.” Ye Chen said, “Hurry up and don’t get caught. I won’t be storming back to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, especially since you’re no beauty. I worry no one would want you after I saved you, and you might end up clinging to me.”

A bone flew past, and Ye Chen quickly dodged, avoiding it.

At this point, Can Mo called out, and Ye Chen hurriedly went over.

They must now confirm a route.

Can Mo unfolded the map and said, “I’ve looked it over, we only have two routes.”

Ye Chen glanced at it and said, “Not everyone needs to go to Ghost City.”

“What do you mean?” Can Mo asked, puzzled.

“We just need to get one person out of Ghost City. More people would actually be a hindrance, making movement difficult. I’ll take fifty people back with me, just pick the ones who move fast and have good martial arts skills.

The others shouldn’t go to Ghost City, but should proceed to Futu Valley as quickly as possible. When I’ve got the person, I’ll get out quickly and find a way to catch up with you all. Then, we’ll regroup here.” Ye Chen marked something on the map.

“Is that really possible?”

“Yes, we’ll need fifty fast horses by then and we’ll catch up with you soon enough. You only have one goal – get the people to Futu Valley as quickly as possible and don’t worry about anything else. There might be people pursuing you.” Ye Chen added.

“So the rest of the people are not participating?”

“No, they’re not. We only need one woman, that should be enough.”

“I’m afraid something unpredictable might happen.”

“Don’t worry, nothing unexpected will happen. All you need to do is safely get our disciples out of here and avoid getting surrounded again.”

“Okay.”

Ling’er came over just as they were discussing the plan to bring someone out. Not knowing what they were talking about, she asked, “What are you guys talking about? Who are you trying to bring from Ghost City?”

Ye Chen turned around, surprised to see her there. He quickly said, “Nothing, I didn’t say anything about bringing anyone.”

“I clearly heard that you guys are planning to go back to Ghost City to bring someone.”

“Absolutely not.”

Ling’er turned her gaze to Can Mo. Can Mo quickly said, “Ask Ye Chen. I’m going to prepare the manpower.”

Ling’er turned back around and asked, “What are you planning?”

Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively and stood up. “I’m not planning anything.”

Ling’er angrily said, “Are you preparing for some mischief?”

“No, quickly finish your meal. Once you’re done, follow Can Mo and leave as soon as possible. Go as far as you can.”

“Wait, you’re not coming with us?”

“I will, but I need to go back to Ghost City first to take care of something important.”

“So, who exactly are you going back to Ghost City for?”

“To find someone I like. Is that okay? Can I want a wife? Can I go back to Ghost City and bring a wife back?”

“A wife? At a time like this, you have the nerve to think about going back to Ghost City to bring a wife out? Don’t you care about everyone’s life?” Wei Yiling questioned with confusion.

“But I like her too much, I mean, really like her, she’s just too beautiful, I can’t help it.”

“If you can’t help it, go on your own. Don’t drag the disciples of New City Sect into it.” Ling’er shouted.

“Sorry, but as their leader, I have that right.” Ye Chen said.

“Your right has been revoked by me. You no longer have it.” Ling’er seemed to be provoked.

“Heh, it seems you don’t have that right.”

“Who says I don’t have that right? I’m carrying out orders on behalf of my father.”

“Then you go ahead and try, see if they listen to you or me.”

In a fit of anger, Ling’er went to find Can Mo and asked, “Can Mo, who is Ye Chen going to Ghost City for?”

Can Mo threw out a sentence, saying, “He didn’t allow me to say.”

“Same for me?”

“Yes, he specifically instructed me so. If you want to know, go ask him.”

“You… how could you blindly follow his words? To go and fetch a wife.”

Can Mo asked surprisingly, “A wife?”

“He said he wants a wife.”

“Ah, that’s supposed to be it.” He thought. Ye Chen must be tricking her. However, Ye Chen was right. If Ling’er knew what was happening right now, she surely wouldn’t agree. It could potentially ruin everything. They can’t let this situation be delayed because of her. If they lost this opportunity, who knew when the next one would come along.

“We are in grave danger right now, yet you are still ordering people around, sending them to Ghost City. This isn’t responsible at all.”

Can Mo replied, “He is our leader, I’m just assisting him. I have no right to object.”

“Who says so? We have the right to object. He disregarded the danger to us disciples. We do have the right of dissent.”

“He already said that he would take responsibility. And your father has given him the power. I have no ability to refuse.”

Ye Chen came up and shouted, “Can Mo, is that enough nagging?”

Can Mo quickly backed off, saying, “I will pick out people immediately.”

“Hurry up. Don’t nag so much. Whether I can marry a wife or not depends on this.” Ye Chen said.

Can Mo swiftly went to select people.

Ye Chen lightly laughed and said, “You wouldn’t object to me marrying a wife back at my place, would you? We had agreed that once we go back, we will find your father and tell him that we do not like each other. You can’t tell me you’re backing out now, saying you have feelings for me. Feeling that I am excellent that you suddenly cherish.”

“Ah, piss off, you shameless man. Yet you feel so good about yourself.”

“Since you spat,” Ye Chen continued, “as a girl, could you be more civil? Always spitting, it’s not very ladylike.”

“How could you do this for your selfish desires, leading people into Ghost City?”

“Hehe, can’t you bear it? No choice, I like it too much.” Ye Chen replied.

“If you like it so much, you should go by yourself and not bring our disciples.”

“That won’t do. I finally have the chance to be reckless once, how could I be alone?”

“Last time, I followed you there. Who are you referring to that you like?”

“Hehe, I can’t tell you that. If I tell you, and if you sabotage it later, preventing us from being together, that would be terrible. I won’t give you the chance.”

“You’re really overthinking it. Even if you give it to me, I don’t want it.” Ling’er didn’t want to listen to him anymore and walked to the other side.

Ye Chen still said, “Wait a minute, we have to go separately. You follow Can Mo back, understand?”

Ling’er didn’t pay him any attention, continued to walk forward, but she was thinking, something’s not right. Is it really because of a wife? That night he followed him, stayed almost all the time, except for when sleeping. It couldn’t possibly be this quick, it’s definitely not possible, it must be something else, she reasoned. But what is it? Why keep it from her? No, she has to see exactly what he was up to.

Can Mo quickly picked out fifty people. Ye Chen walked over, glanced at them and nodded his head. Can Mo said, “Li Mo, you go with him. If anything happens, he can help.”

“Alright, leave me alone and go as fast as you can. Just don’t get caught,” replied Ye Chen.

Can Mo nodded upon hearing this.

The mist gradually dispersed.

Ye Chen looked at the map and set off with the fifty men.

Can Mo glanced at Ling’er. Ling’er spoke, “I don’t believe the ghost stories you are telling. I have to see what he is up to.”

“Ling’er, don’t go, it’s too dangerous,” Can Mo shouted. But how could he stop her?

Ling’er didn’t care about him. She had already run after him, followed Ye Chen and the fifty men, and disappeared into the forest.

“Alright, let’s get moving,” Can Mo said and stopped.

The people got up one after another.

Can Mo added, “You just escaped death this time. Whether you truly escaped, I don’t know, but I do know those people are following us. They could cause trouble at any time. I don’t know where Da Gui is right now, but if we get stopped by those behind us, and Da Gui comes after us, don’t even think about escaping. Our leader, Ye Chen, has already told you all. He doesn’t want to mention it again, and by that time, don’t cry in front of me.”

At this moment, the disciples wanted nothing more than to get away from this haunting place that had been messing with them for days.

Ling’er never believed the ghost stories from that monkey anyway. There definitely must be something important.

Ye Chen had no idea that Ling’er was following close behind them. They walked ahead, passing through the not-so-dense forest. They wandered around the woods. After about two hours had passed, they should have taken a break. Ye Chen then said to the people behind him, “Hurry up. I don’t know when those people will find us. Once they do, they might circle back here. I don’t want any more troubles.”

Suddenly, he noticed a figure trailing behind them, coming in and out of the line of sight. How is she here too? Did she cross eyes or something? He was surprised to see her hiding.

Ye Chen stood up and walked over, saying, “Why did you follow us? Didn’t I tell you to stay with Can Mo?”

Ling’er, looking elsewhere, unwilling to explain her reasons. She was decisive as if she indeed was scared that he would go find another woman to be a wife and she had come to stop him.

“Are you so afraid that I’ll find another woman to be my wife, that you must follow me? Do you want to sabotage us?”

“You’re really narcissistic.”

“Alright then, if anything happens, don’t expect me to save you. Look after yourself.” said Ye Chen.

“I have to keep an eye on the disciples, so you can’t harm them,” said Ling’er.

Ye Chen let out a light laugh, causing the disciples to join in on the fun.

Ye Chen said again, “You can follow us, but don’t think about challenging my decision to find a wife.”

Ling’er retorted, “Don’t worry, I couldn’t care less who you end up with, some temptress or whatnot.”

“Remember, you said this. If it goes south, I’ll leave you in Ghost City, and you’ll never see your father again.”

Ling’er geared up to slap him, but Ye Chen swiftly dodged.

The group of guys laughed. They all knew what they were about to do, they had been instructed not to tell Ling’er.

“Let’s go, my future wife,” Ye Chen shouted.
