"It looks so wonderful, a smile's relationship. When you need someone, you are there; when you don't, who are you? No one will have any connection with you. This is the kind of friendship people need.
'Forget it, you can know a person's face but not their heart,' Su Muxian seemed to see through what he was thinking, constantly advising him, hoping he could let go and truly not dwell on these issues, otherwise, he would only be causing himself trouble.
'I naturally understand what you're thinking. Actually, I really hate this kind of relationship. But I can't not help them. If I help them, I still feel unhappy inside, because a long time ago, I didn't give them any benefits at all, and only when they are in danger do they remember me. Don't you find such people annoying?' Ye Tiancheng said angrily.
'No matter what you say, the best way is for you to extricate yourself from this situation, and then you can truly do what you want to do.' Su Muxian felt Ye Tiancheng was too foolish. Why did he always get caught up in these issues that others found troublesome? The most important thing was to maintain inner peace, otherwise, if someone exploited a loophole, it would truly be an unpleasant affair.
After discussing with this woman, Wang Gaofan left the Mountain God and the Divine Stone there. He was worried about Black and White Impermanence retaliating against him, so he went to see Chen Yang alone. Upon arriving at the Chen family courtyard, he found people waiting to greet him at the entrance. The Chen family courtyard was a siheyuan, built with materials from the Qin and Han dynasties. This residence is truly wealthy, using Qin bricks and Han tiles. Standing beside Chen Yang was a woman dressed in snow-white attire.
'Chen Xue?' Ye Tiancheng looked at her strangely.
'Yes, I am Chen Xue.'
'This time, I need to rescue someone. He is my relative, Luo Da.'
'What's the pay?' Ye Tiancheng directly talked about money. In this world, only money is the most tangible thing; everything else is secondary.
'This time, I'll have my sister go with you. If there's any danger, you can look out for each other.' Hearing Chen Yang's words, Ye Tiancheng felt this matter was not fun at all. Why would he say such a thing? It was truly disappointing. Ye Tiancheng felt he didn't need anyone's help, and their presence would only be a nuisance.
'I'm in a bad mood and want to go kill some people.' Chen Xue smiled sinisterly, a smile that held a strong desire to eliminate the other party. What would this sinister thought bring her? Even thinking about it now, it was impossible to fathom. Why say it like this? Actually, Ye Tiancheng's heart didn't know how to express it. His mind was in utter chaos. What would this chaos bring? It was merely pretending to know nothing and understand nothing. What would happen to him if he continued like this? No one knew, after all, to successfully accomplish a foolish task truly required skill. Without this skill, nothing could be achieved. Thinking of this, his heart was about to collapse.
'What is this!' As he said this, suddenly, he heard his powerful voice explode. This was Chen Xue being displeased with Ye Tiancheng. Her face was completely filled with anger, looking as if she wanted to devour someone. Seeing this, Ye Tiancheng's inner feelings were no longer pleasant. He smiled bitterly, 'So, to go with me, you're acting like this.'
'Is acting like this not good?'
'Honestly speaking, it is indeed not good.'
'Indeed not good?'
'Yes!' Chen Xue said. 'You look down on me, so I'm very angry.' Indeed, seeing Ye Tiancheng treat her so poorly, she would naturally be angry. This anger brought about an unpleasant feeling, and now, it seemed they were in trouble. As someone who wanted to complicate matters and ensure the future wasn't ruined by her own actions, they discussed how to cooperate, otherwise, Ye Tiancheng wouldn't want this little girl Chen Xue to follow him. Because if this woman followed him and her skill was not up to par, it would truly be a big problem.
'Look at you disgusting people,' Chen Yang said with an angry smile. 'Can't you be a bit more pleasant?' He had intended to ask if they could play together happily. But then he immediately suppressed that thought. Now, the problem was becoming bigger and bigger. Chen Xue, however, didn't seem to care about Ye Tiancheng's state. For her, Chen Xue, having roamed the martial world for several years, her experience in society told her that most people were as straightforward as him. There was no need to disguise oneself; generally, people were straightforward and wouldn't play tricks on you. You could see through them at a glance.
'Being too straightforward isn't always a good thing. Young man, what exactly do you want here? It seems we have no grievances.' At this moment, a person suddenly stood in the passage of the abandoned factory. This person was dressed entirely in black, wearing a long trench coat and a black, wide-brimmed hat from World War II era Western gentlemen. Because the hat was pulled down low, his face could not be seen clearly. However, his voice and build revealed his identity. This person was around thirty years old, with a strong voice. It was clear he was a martial artist. Ye Tiancheng felt very curious.
'May I ask why you ask? We have indeed fought before. I'd like to ask if you are members of the legendary Black Clothes Society?'
'I think you are guessing, but I can admit that we are indeed members of the Black Clothes Society!' the man said with a proud tone, not taking Ye Tiancheng and his companions seriously. Actually, Ye Tiancheng was just guessing. He hadn't confirmed it, he was just trying to bluff him. He didn't expect him to admit it.
'I didn't expect you to be so confident. I know you have many people. Today, I don't want to pursue the charges of why you attacked me before. I just want to inquire about someone. His name is Luo Damu.'
'Heh heh, he's right here with us. We were looking for you anyway. Since you've delivered yourself to our doorstep, you can only blame yourself for bad luck.' The man in the black trench coat waved his hand. From behind him, and from the rusty, large iron door behind Ye Tiancheng, a group of men in similar black trench coats appeared. They held black, menacing handguns. 'Kid, you're very annoying, you know? You've offended the interests of our Black Clothes Society, so you must die!' the leading man said to Ye Tiancheng in a cold tone. Ye Tiancheng heard this and smiled, 'Then let's see your skills.'
'You're crazy, we're surrounded. It's over, we're dead.' Si Jie's tone was full of despair, like someone on the verge of death.
'Tsk, can you dodge to that spot in five seconds? If you can, I'll cover you. If not, you might die, but I'll survive.'
'Damn it, didn't you just say you'd guarantee my safety 100%?' Chen Xue was very angry.
'That was before, this is now. Before, I thought they were just a bunch of thugs. Now I realize they are professional mercenaries.' Ye Tiancheng was extremely embarrassed. If he had known the current situation, he shouldn't have spoken so confidently. It was too late to regret it now; he could only pray for a miracle! Talented people are always favored by miracles. Seven parts depend on fate, three parts depend on effort. Only those who fight hard have a great chance of survival in perilous situations.
'Chen Xue, I will definitely survive... So, can you stop asking me such childish questions?'
'What is a correct and not childish question?' the guy's face was filled with doubt. It was precisely this doubt that made him feel uncertain. It seemed that between them, there was simply no possibility of a tacit understanding. It was becoming increasingly troublesome. Fighting at this moment would truly be quite troublesome, leading to problems that were very frustrating... No matter how you put it, some issues are indeed very complex. Because what people like this say has no meaning anymore. The only meaningful meaning, in his opinion, was mostly just that. Since that was the case, then no one had anything more to say to each other. They could only fight with all their might and then calmly survive. Calmly surviving, of course, would instill a sense of worry and fear that spread imperceptibly. Roughly speaking, in his heart, there were so many unpleasant and intense feelings. As time passed, this feeling grew stronger. Why learn to be a powerful person? Naturally, it was because of extreme dissatisfaction with the heavenly way, wanting to defeat even the Jade Emperor. Someone who could defeat the Jade Emperor would undoubtedly be a rare and powerful figure in this world. During this period, Chen Yang naturally looked forward to his sister surviving well, and for himself to survive this pursuit and live better. Living better would naturally make him more powerful. Anyone who dared to obstruct his existence would be eliminated. As members of the Black Clothes Society, they naturally had no good feelings towards Chen Yang. They dreamt of killing him. Why do this? Naturally, it was because they wanted to form a cooperative relationship with Chen Yang, it was that simple. Why did he have such an idea? Chen Yang wanted to cooperate with Ye Tiancheng, believing that by cooperating with him, the remaining matters could proceed as he wished, allowing him to gather the interests of the entire region into his own hands."
