Chapter 42: Apology

"Fellow Daoist Ye Chen, what's going on?"

Shi Jin couldn't understand, and Ye Chen waved his hand immediately after hearing this.

"Don't worry about it. What's wrong with you guys coming here so late?"

After finishing speaking, Shi Jin, Shi Le and Jiang Qing were seen looking at each other. Suddenly, Shi Jin knelt down on one knee towards Ye Chen.

"Holy shit?! What are you doing?"

Ye Chen got out of the way instantly and was so frightened that when he saw Shi Jin kneeling, he quickly helped him up.

"What is this for? Brother Shi Jin, if you need my help with anything, just tell me. I will do my best to help you. There is no need for this."

Shi Jin shook his head, his face full of guilt.

"We're not here to help, brother Ye Chen, we're here to apologize."

"Apologise?"

Ye Chen was stunned, "What are you apologizing for?"

"Brother Ye Chen, don't you think our meeting was accidental?" Shi Jin did not say it directly, but changed the topic to this topic.

"When you say that, it is indeed quite accidental."

Ye Chen still remembered that he was discovered by the other party. At first, he didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, with so many monks gathering together, there would always be someone along the way.

But when the other party said it, Ye Chen felt a little strange.

I was hiding in the pit. I didn't know how long I had been hiding to avoid those strange creatures, but when I looked up, I was discovered.

To say it was a coincidence would be too much of a coincidence.

and……

"And after you met us, you met people from the Horcrux Pavilion and those from the Gun Sect. These people are extremely hostile to you."

Ye Chen nodded, but frowned, "Please explain clearly, don't make me guess."

Shi Jin took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "You are being rewarded."

"Reward? By whom?"

Ye Chen was shocked when he heard this and asked subconsciously.

Jiang Qing on the side interjected, "Your clothes have a special smell, and the Gu insects can accurately find you."

Jiang Qing took out a green Gu worm sealed in a transparent breathable bottle from the Qiankun bag. As soon as the Gu worm came out, it immediately moved crazily in the direction of Ye Chen, as if it had discovered some unparalleled delicacy.

Seeing this thing, Ye Chen's face instantly darkened.

"No wonder, I said why those people are targeting me, that's why!"

Ye Chen recalled the past and realized that it was unreasonable.

It was reasonable for the Horcrux Pavilion to take action against him, after all, he intervened in the conflict between their two sects.

But the gun sect that followed was a bit outrageous, finding him almost accurately, and then started attacking at the slightest disagreement.

At that time, Ye Chen was still confused as to why he was killed for no reason.

It's just that at that time, I always thought that I was on the evil path, so only the path was the normal procedure for eradicating the evil path when the righteous path encountered it.

But now that I think about it, it is extremely unreasonable.

"I see, so you are here to plead guilty? You also accepted the reward?"

"Yes."

Shi Jin honestly explained how he got close to Ye Chen and how he gained Ye Chen's trust and was ready to take action, but his conscience changed his mind at the end.

After listening to Shi Jin's words, Ye Chen felt scared for a while.

If he hadn't made the other party change his mind, Shi Jin and the two men would have secretly ambush him, which he wouldn't have thought of.

It's really possible that the other party can succeed!

"Who is the other party? What does it want to do?"

Ye Chen said, but Shi Jin shook his head, "I don't know, but he can leave a mark on you without anyone noticing, and he has the ability to hire other sect members, and he has a grudge against you. Who is this person? "

Ye Chen immediately thought of Xu Zheng, but the other party couldn't leave a mark on Ye Chen unknowingly.

I didn't meet him anywhere.

There is no way he can leave a mark!

Could it be...

Ye Chen thought of the most unlikely possibility. Could it be someone within the sect did it?

Ye Chen thought about it and found that there were only two people who had hatred against him.

Second Senior Sister Han Luoxue! And that Han Qianqian!

Is it the two of them? !

Ye Chen's face looked a little ugly, but he didn't expect that it was one of his own who was targeting him.

Fortunately, he was still uniting with the Hehuan clan, so Han Luoxue couldn't wait to frame her to death.

"Okay, I understand, I don't care about you."

Ye Chen nodded and sighed.

It's okay if these people don't talk about it, but if they do, there seems to be a layer of grudge between them.

But I can be considered aware of this situation, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Ye Chen took out a white robe from his Qiankun bag and changed out of his clothes.

At this time, Shi Jin and the other three were still standing in the room, looking a little reserved.

"Brother Shi Jin, is there anything else?"

Ye Chen, who was wearing a white robe, asked, but saw Shi Jin and the other three suddenly sigh.

"Brother Ye Chen, tomorrow we will enter the spiritual realm. There are many dangers in this spiritual realm, and you have been targeted by gangsters."

"I think we would like to stay with you so that we can help you cope a little bit."

Jiang Qing and Shi Le also nodded in agreement.

Ye Chen didn't expect that they would actually say that, so he immediately pretended to be serious.

"Are you sure? You all said that there are bad people who are worried about me. I have also provoked people from Tianjian Villa. They are probably going to deal with me too."

"Follow me, you will be in danger."

"If you don't help me, I won't mind. After all, there is no need to risk your life for someone you have met a few times."

Ye Chen spoke calmly, which made Shi Jin and others feel more guilty.

"Brother Ye Chen, you are a benevolent person. We don't want to see you harmed by bad people. This benevolence alone is worth our death to protect you!"

Shi Jin bowed his hands and said with a very regretful look on his face, "Nowadays, the way of morality is not ancient, and only ruthless and unjust people can take over the world. We have long been tired of this."

"Now that I see that Brother Ye Chen has a clear sense of grudges and grudges, is chivalrous and benevolent, and has quite a legacy of the ancient immortal family, we will naturally cherish you."

Ye Chen finally understood their feelings, but he was a little helpless.

He doesn't think he really has any benevolence, nor does he think he has any chivalry. He is just a simple protector.

Of course, since someone praised himself so much, Ye Chen would definitely not let these friends down.

Ye Chen also bowed his hand and returned the gift, "In that case, I'll trouble you all to come with me tomorrow."

Shi Jin and the other three were immediately overjoyed. After bowing deeply, they turned around and left.

Ye Chen watched them leave and smiled helplessly.

He roughly understood what era it was like now.

This era is similar to the period between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in which rituals and music collapsed, but not completely ruined.

There are still those old and young who admire ancient rituals, but the general environment has entered a cruel war for resource plunder.

All major sects and countries are competing for the resources they need.

Thousands of miles of starvation and thousands of miles of fertile land coexist, wars are accompanied by massacres, and there are fights both overt and covert.

This is this era, an era where the strong is respected.
