Chapter 32

Fame in one battle!

The name Ye Chu was buzzing among the young generation in Yao City, and unlike his previous notorious reputation, this time everyone was talking about Ye Chu's strength, shocked by his defeat of Ding Kaiwei. No one was willing to believe this fact!

Pang Shao, seeing that Ding Kaiwei was taken down by Ye Chu in one move, pestered Ye Chu to help him save face. But after being kicked a few times and told to scram, Pang Shao finally quieted down, pitifully dragging his kicked body away from the house!

"Did you write on the plaque at the Dingwu Hall?" Bai Xuan blinked her beautiful eyes, her expression extremely surprised upon hearing this news. "Do you know who hung that plaque at the Dingwu Hall?"

Ye Chu looked at Bai Xuan, watching her long eyelashes tremble slightly, and gazed intently at her flawless face, marveling at how much effort it must have taken for heaven to create such a beautiful woman: "I didn't know before, but after smashing it, I heard it was inscribed by the King!"

Seeing Ye Chu's smiling gaze, his eyes burning hot, Bai Xuan couldn't help but glare at him, biting her lip and staring at Zhang Ke, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and shyness: "Haven't you better put away those wandering eyes! And knowing it was the King's plaque, you still dared to touch it, aren't you afraid of the court's punishment!"

"Are you worried about me, Sister Bai Xuan?" Ye Chu smiled and stared at Bai Xuan, seemingly unconcerned about the plaque, his clear eyes fixed on her without moving.

Bai Xuan, seeing that Ye Chu's gaze didn't waver when she scolded him, her eyes widened even more, his burning gaze seeming to want to pierce into her heart, making her heart inexplicably panic. Unable to bear it, she turned her eyes away, thinking how could such a young boy have such a devouring gaze, completely lacking the innocence of a youth!

"I don't care about you at all!" Bai Xuan rolled her eyes, answering insincerely, "But Yaoyao likes being with you, and if something happens to you, Yaoyao won't be happy!"

"If Sister Bai Xuan doesn't care about me, why should I care about that little brat!" Ye Chu shrugged, "If the court people come after me, it will be a good end to my daily nightmare of playing with mud. Sister Bai Xuan doesn't know the misery of being treated as an idiot!"

"Ha!" Bai Xuan burst out laughing, like a blooming night-blooming cereus, pointing at Ye Chu with a coquettish smile, "You deserve it!"

"You look the most alluring like this, no man can resist Sister Bai Xuan's smile that can topple a city!" Ye Chu turned his head, staring at Bai Xuan, thinking that such a beautiful woman truly had an irresistible charm.

"Talking nonsense!" Bai Xuan gave Ye Chu a playful glare, already used to his occasional teasing. This guy couldn't be judged by the standards of a young man.

Unable to bear Ye Chu's burning gaze, Bai Xuan covered his eyes with her hand: "That's an imperial plaque, the issue isn't big, but it isn't small either. If the court doesn't care, it's fine, but if they do, you'll have big trouble. I think Pang Shao isn't simple, let him speak on your behalf, perhaps it can help you avoid this crisis."

Bai Xuan, having interacted with Ye Chu these past few days, no longer disliked him as much as before. Ye Chu wasn't as bad as people said, just his carefree and unrestrained nature made him seem unpleasant. But such a carefree and unrestrained nature shouldn't bear such a bad reputation!

Sometimes Bai Xuan felt that Ye Chu was quite pitiful, having to bear the city's curses at such a young age. Wasn't it too cruel for a seventeen-year-old?

"Okay!" Ye Chu agreed to reassure Bai Xuan, but he wasn't really worried about the plaque. The court wouldn't go to great lengths over a plaque! Apart from a few people in the court, Ye Chu really didn't fear anyone.

But would the court really mobilize those few people over a plaque? That was clearly a joke!

Ye Chu and Bai Xuan chatted aimlessly for a while. Seeing Bai Bao bring Yaoyao in, Bai Xuan hugged Yaoyao, who ran into her arms, and seeing that her father seemed to have something to say to Ye Chu, she was about to leave the room with Yaoyao.

But Yaoyao didn't want to leave, causing Ye Chu to pinch her little face: "Be good! Yaoyao, go out for a bit, I'll play with you later!"

Yaoyao responded in a childish voice, blinking her clear eyes innocently, "Auntie! Brother Ye Chu doesn't want me anymore, let's go! Men's words are indeed unreliable, he said he would play with me, but always finds excuses to avoid it!"

"Ha!"

Bai Xuan couldn't help but laugh at Yaoyao's attempt to sound like a grown-up, sympathetically glancing at the stunned Ye Chu before leaving with Yaoyao.

"Ha ha ha..." Bai Bao also burst out laughing, "Where did this little one learn that men's words are unreliable? I wonder which scoundrel taught her!"

Ye Chu, feeling a bit guilty,缩缩脖子，心中有泪无处述说啊。原本告诉瑶瑶这些，是希望她长大之后不要被男人轻易骗到手，没想到她会用到自己身上。

"那个，白叔找我有事？" Ye Chu looked at Bai Bao, who had recovered greatly in spirit and vitality over the past few days, and would likely be fully recovered soon!

"Do you have nothing to ask me?" Bai Bao looked at Ye Chu with a half-smile, "If not, I'll leave!"

"Ah!" Ye Chu was caught off guard by Bai Bao's sudden words, not quite sure how to react.

"These past few days, I've gotten to know you. You're lazy, and if you can avoid trouble, you will. Yet you treated me without expecting anything in return. My body is very clear, the treatment was very complicated, and I heard you personally found a three-hundred-year-old ginseng. For a lazy person like you to go to such lengths, you must have had a reason!" Bai Bao smiled.

Seeing Bai Bao see through him, Ye Chu laughed, "Maybe it's because Sister Bai Xuan is beautiful, and I have ulterior motives!"

"Ha ha! You're a sly one! Indeed, quite lecherous! I was worried before, given your notorious reputation in Yao City. But when I heard from Bai Xuan that you once gave up on having her as a reward, I realized you're not as bad as people say. Otherwise, do you think Bai Xuan would still be nice to you!" Bai Bao laughed heartily.

Pausing, Bai Bao continued, "You were able to treat the evil qi in my body, so you must have seen its source! For a lazy person like you to go to such lengths to treat me, you must want something from me."

This statement made both of them fall silent. This was undoubtedly Ye Chu's goal, and he had planned to approach the topic indirectly, but Bai Bao had directly called it out.

"Uncle Bai, you have keen eyes! Indeed, helping you was for the sake of the Great General's tomb!" Ye Chu didn't deny it, "I'm very curious, how did Uncle Bai manage to enter it? I know the Great General's tomb is terrifying, even the former emperor of the empire dares not enter. Uncle Bai must have had special means. Can you tell me?"

After saying this, Ye Chu stared straight at Bai Bao, this was a secret he was extremely eager to know!
