Chapter 78

Seeing Ye Chu leave, Ye Jingyun couldn't help but ask Qing Wenting, "What's your relationship with her? She's so casual in front of you? Pang Shao wouldn't dare to leave so easily in front of you, let alone refuse your proposal!"

Tan Miaotong's gaze also couldn't help but turn to Qing Wenting, curious about Ye Chu's identity.

"She saved the lives of Pang Shao and a group of people, and we traveled together on the continent for half a year. Do you think we're familiar?" Qing Wenting didn't hide it and answered directly, "But I'm curious, how could your Ye family bear to drive him away? Although Ye Chu isn't exceptionally outstanding, he's much stronger than the noble descendants of your Ye family."

"Much stronger?" Ye Jingyun almost fell to the ground, "Do you really not know Ye Chu's reputation or are you pretending?"

"Hmm?" Qing Wenting asked curiously.

"Fine! Go to Yaocity and ask around. You might not know, but in the entire Yaocity, only he dares to call himself Ye Chu." Ye Jingyun said with a smile.

"Why?" Tan Miaotong couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Can you imagine someone being so evil that everyone curses them, and no one in the entire city wants to share the same name with them?" Ye Jingyun shrugged and smiled, "Ye Chu did it. His notorious reputation in the entire Yaocity is well-known!"

"Is it that exaggerated?" Qing Wenting and Tan Miaotong found it amusing, thinking that someone couldn't be so detestable.

"If you don't believe me, go ask around yourself!" Ye Jingyun looked at Tan Miaotong, "Miaotong, you should stay away from her, especially don't be alone with her. This guy is capable of anything."

"Ye Chu isn't as scary as you say." Tan Miaotong stuck out her tongue and interjected.

"You'll see when you suffer the consequences!" Ye Jingyun thought, what's wrong with these women? How could they be so easily deceived by this guy? It's understandable for Qing Wenting, but even Tan Miaotong, who just met Ye Chu, doesn't dislike him.

"I'm not a fool!" Tan Miaotong giggled, "I know if he's trying to deceive me."

Tan Miaotong thought, a young man who can immerse himself in the beauty of a cold lake and summarize it with such poetic lines. He shouldn't be as exaggerated as Ye Jingyun says. If Ye Chu were truly that despicable, how could he remain so calm when Qing Wenting wrote such a defamatory statement about him?

Ye Jingyun patted her forehead and looked at Tan Miaotong, "You're not falling for him, are you?"

The blush that had just faded quickly returned to Tan Miaotong's beautiful face, turning it a bright red, "You're not allowed to say that, I'm not!"

Hearing Tan Miaotong's scolding, Qing Wenting couldn't help but say, "I'll sincerely inform you of a saying among us, 'A demon isn't scary, a god isn't terrifying, to avoid being deceived, stay away from Ye Chu.'"

"Heh heh! Is he really that scary?" Tan Miaotong couldn't help but laugh, finding the saying amusing.

...

Ye Chu, of course, had no idea what these women were saying about him. He held back Pang Shao, threatening and bribing him not to reveal the information about the General's Tomb, before letting him go.

After letting Pang Shao go, Ye Chu didn't linger and hurried to Bai Xuan's residence.

Even Qing Wenting was attracted, which showed how significant the disturbance caused by the General's Tomb was. Many people might be heading this way, and they could find Bai Bao.

When Ye Chu returned to Bai Xuan's residence, he saw Bai Bao in the hall, but his face was serious. Seeing Ye Chu return, he quickly walked over, "Where have you been? I couldn't find you!"

Never having seen Bai Bao so anxious, Ye Chu frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Yaoyao was kidnapped!" Bai Bao's face was extremely grim, standing there with a fierce expression.

"When did this happen? Where's Bai Xuan?" Ye Chu's expression also turned serious, looking around and not seeing Bai Xuan, his heart racing.

"Bai Xuan is in the room. She almost fainted from anger just now. I made her rest in the room," Bai Bao said.

Seeing Bai Xuan wasn't kidnapped, Ye Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief, "What exactly happened?"

"I told you before that someone followed me into the General's Tomb, right? These past few days, I went to see an old friend and arrange some matters. I happened to run into these people, and they recognized me. They followed me and kidnapped Yaoyao, who was playing outside, demanding that I exchange the items I obtained from the General's Tomb for her," Bai Bao explained.

"Did they say where they are? Who are they?" Ye Chu asked.

"People from the Thirty-Six Caves. I know where they are!" Bai Bao said, "You have the strength to defeat innate, so I want you to come with me."

"Alright!" Ye Chu nodded, naturally unwilling to let the little girl he liked suffer, "I'll go see Bai Xuan first."

When Ye Chu entered the inner room, he saw Bai Xuan sitting there, her beautiful eyes slightly red and swollen, with tears glistening on her flawless face, making her look pitiful and heart-wrenching.

Ye Chu walked to Bai Xuan, using his fingers to wipe away the tears on her face. Seeing her long lashes tremble, Ye Chu gently hugged her, feeling her stiff body. He patted her back and whispered, "Bai Xuan, no one can harm Yaoyao."

Bai Xuan's stiff body relaxed, and she began to tremble slightly, tears welling up in her eyes again.

"Yaoyao was raised by me, like my own daughter. How inhumane are they to use a little girl, not even four years old, as a threat?" Bai Xuan bit her lip, her face pale, almost melting the hearts of those around her.

Ye Chu held Bai Xuan's soft body, and she seemed to find solace, hugging Ye Chu tightly, her tears soaking through his clothes.

"You must save Yaoyao! If anything happens to her, I..." Bai Xuan's voice trembled.

Ye Chu patted her shoulder, and as her crying gradually subsided, he let her go. He pulled her up, "Bai Xuan, will you come with me to bring Yaoyao back home?"

Bai Xuan looked up, seeing Ye Chu staring straight at her. Noticing the wet patch on his clothes, she felt a bit embarrassed, remembering how she had cried into his chest.

"Do you want to change your clothes?" Bai Xuan asked Ye Chu.

"It's rare to be tainted by Bai Xuan's scent; I plan to wear this for three days without washing," Ye Chu said with a smile.

Seeing Ye Chu still teasing her, her fear and worry lessened. When he really didn't change and pulled her out, her face turned red, almost bleeding, her gaze falling on the wet patch, feeling inexplicably shy.

Seeing Ye Chu pulling Bai Xuan, Bai Bao asked curiously, "You're bringing her?"

Bai Xuan also thought that without true qi realm strength, she would only be a burden, and wanted to tell Ye Chu to wait at home. But Ye Chu shook his head and said, "Come with me."

"I..."

Bai Xuan wanted to say more but was interrupted by Ye Chu, his voice slightly cold, "Cultivating in Yaocity, everyone thinks I'm gentle and kind. After so long without showing up, the people from the Thirty-Six Caves think I've turned good."

Ye Chu thought, after causing such a commotion in the Thirty-Six Caves, they actually forgot and thought he wouldn't kill.
