Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dong Shiyu did not expect Ye Chen to be so agitated. She glanced at Ye Chen’s hand that was holding hers with a flushed face.
“Mr. Ye…”
Ye Chen finally reacted and released his hand.
“Since you entered with Bai Lixiong, do you know his whereabouts now?”
Dong Shiyu nodded, but her gaze was complicated.
“Mr. Ye, please follow me.”
“Alright.”
Dong Shiyu led Ye Chen north for about ten kilometers.
To Ye Chen’s surprise, it was an unusually bustling place.
Not only were there all kinds of ancient-looking buildings, but there were also many modem buildings. It looked as busy as a miniature version of Capital
City.
“Mr. Ye, this is Mingyang Town in the Kunlun Mountains. It’s considered the largest town nearby. I’ve been staying here over the past few days.”
“As for General Bai Lixiong, he has been staying in a nearby inn.”
Ye Chen frowned. Was Bai Lixiong supposed to go to that sect to look for his wife? Why was he still here?
“What has he been doing here these past few days?
Dong Shiyu let out a long sigh.
“Drinking. General Bai Lixiong has been drinking for the past few days. I’ve tried to persuade him many times, but it’s no use. Perhaps Mr. Ye can persuade him.”
As they spoke, the two of them stepped into the inn.
In the corner of the restaurant, Ye Chen saw a man with a buzz cut and a face full of stubble, who immediately recognized as Bai Lixiong.
However, the current Bai Lixiong was completely different from the one he was familiar with.
He no longer had the aura of a great general, but instead looked like a decadent tramp!
He was holding a pot of wine and looking out the window, thinking about something.
“Mr. Ye… General Bai Lixiong’s temper has been a little bad these few days, so please be mindful…”
Dong Shiyu reminded him. She had almost been seriously injured the last time she tried to persuade Bai Lixiong.
After all, Bai Lixiong’s strength was considered one of the top in Huaxia.
Ye Chen did not answer. Instead, he sat down beside Bai Lixiong. Then, he clenched his fist, snatched the wine jug, and gulped down a mouthful of wine.
This was a famous liquor of the Kunlun Mountains.
When Bai Lixiong saw that his hands were empty, an invisible anger swept
over him. “That was my wine. Why are you…”
The voice suddenly trailed off.
The moment the tipsy Bai Lixiong saw Ye Chen, he stood up and sobered up.
“Mr. Ye!”
Bai Lixiong was about to kneel down when Ye Chen gathered his true qi and pushed him back to his position.
“Sit.”
Bai Lixiong’s expression was serious as he sat up straight and said excitedly , “Mr. Ye, when did you enter the Kunlun Mountains? If I knew you were coming,
I would have taken a shower.”
Ye Chen glanced at Bai Lixiong and said calmly, “When I was in Jiangnan Province, I asked you to come in with me, but you insisted on going in yourself earlier. Tell me, what happened?”
“I remember that you wanted to sacrifice yourself for your country and die ■•rttaiemoerHiSi’yocr winneo-toTcacnftceyfea^oryutricudmiy anu me without regret. This no longer seems true for the current you.”
Bai Lixiong’s face turned red and he sighed, “Mr. Ye, I’m also considered to be at the peak of martial arts in Huaxia, but after entering, I realized how small I am. My strength is worthless here. Here, nobody knows my identity in Huaxia. Without the Iron-Blooded Camp, I’m nothing.
“After leaving Huaxia, I realized that everything I’ve been pursuing has disappeared.”
“Sometimes, I even wondered if it’s worth it for me to abandon everything and enter the Kunlun Mountains just for a woman’s answer.”
Ye Chen naturally understood Bai Lixiong’s thoughts.
In Huaxia, Bai Lixiong was the leader and general of the Iron-Blooded Camp!
His status and authority were extremely high, and he basically only reported to one person. However, after entering the Kunlun Mountains, all of that became worthless.
His comrades were gone, and even his strength was insignificant here.
Anyone would feel the same way.
“You saw your wife?” Ye Chen suddenly asked.
He knew Bai Lixiong well. This kind of feeling was unlikely to crush such a person. The only thing that could make him unable to recover was probably the wife he was looking for.
