Chapter 263 – Request and Promise (1/2)

“Well, before the end of today, Auntie Leng’s body will be buried together with Feng Chaoyang.” Without any hesitation, Ye Wuchen said so. She had been dedicated all her life to Feng Chaoyang, but she couldn’t stay by his side when she was alive. At least she should be buried next to him. It was not only Cold Cliff’s wish, but it should also be the life-long wish of his mother as well.

“Ah? Then…” After hearing that Ye Wuchen promised so quickly, and he even said “today”, Chu Jingtian was very shocked, he wanted to ask for several times by what means he could do so.

After Cold Cliff heard Ye Wuchen’s promise, he raised his right hand and said clearly, “me, Cold Cliff, is swearing to God today, that I will forever be loyal to Ye Wuchen. I will never betray him! If I do, may God destroy me and send me to Hell!”

“Well…can someone please tell me what has happened?!” Chu Jingtian had no clue what was going on, and he was hitting his head.

“Isn’t it too early for you to take such an oath? Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to accomplish my promise?” Ye Wuchen asked.

“My master will never promise something that he can’t do.”

Ye Wuchen smiled lightly, “rest assured. I will not disappoint you. Tonight, Auntie Leng’s body will be safely buried with Feng Chaoyang’s. And…Cold Cliff, you will be able to make them rest in piece together. You’re going to find out soon that even though I’m disabled, I am still qualified to be your master. However, can you not call me Master anymore?”

“Yes.”

Ye Wuchen thought for a while and said, “forget it. You can call whatever you want. Get up first.”

Cold Cliff got up stiffly. Chu Jingtian touched his head and asked, “brother Ye, isn’t this too strange? Aren’t you and Cold Cliff friends? Why do you…” Chu Jingtian just couldn’t figure this out.

Ye Wuchen laughed and said, “Big brother Chu, you once said that you’re going to Tianchen Magic Martial Arts Contest. Now, all the heroes in the world are getting ready, and it’s getting closer. It will take place at the center of the Tianchen Continent, and it’s very close to where Feng Chaoyang’s tomb. Let’s all go to Tianfeng City with Cold Cliff. There will be so many talented people. Don’t worry, although you’re still young, you will shock everyone and make them remember your names.”

There was a flash of light across Cold Cliff’s eyes. Chu Jingtian couldn’t help but laugh, “actually, I am not as good as you’ve said. My grandfather told me that talented people are all hidden. Even if I am good, it doesn’t mean anything significant.”

“Why don’t you try and judge for yourself? Brother Chu, you’re a kind-hearted person, but at the same time, you’re an aggressive person as well. Those who can get into the contest must be the top talented people in the Tianchen Continent. And you’ll open your eyes. With your young age and capacity, I’m sure you’ll impress many people.” Ye Wuchen said seriously.

“Hehe…I feel really good with your comments.” Chu Jingtian smiled humbly, then doubted again, “but, brother Ye, you know what our recent capacity is?”

Ye Wuchen laughed and replied nothing.

“And, brother Ye, do you really have a way to reach Tianfeng City in one day?” Chu Jingtian asked with his eyes widely open.

“You’ll find out.” Ye Wuchen said with a mysterious smile.

“So, are you going to come with me or not? My Grandpa said the contest only takes places every 25 years. If we miss it, we’ll have to wait 25 years more.” Chu Jingtian asked with a lot of hope.

“Me?” Ye Wuchen shook his head with a bitter smile, “even if I want to, I can’t. Anyone who isn’t capable enough wouldn’t have the guts to attend the Tianchen Magic Martial Arts Contest. With that level of fight, if you can’t defend yourself well enough, you can get yourself killed by the energy released by the top fighters when they compete. There will naturally be no ordinary people who do. Given my current situation, going there is like committing suicide.”

“Oh, I see.” Chu Jingtian thought for a while and nodded, “I understand. Brother Ye, I can’t imagine how powerful you were three years ago. Even Feng Chaoyang was…” He paused and looked at Cold Cliff, then paused and continued, “if you joined the contest, you’d have gotten the first place.”

Ye Wuchen gave a weak smile and didn’t further explain. The reason why he had killed Feng Chaoyang was different from what people thought. He looked at the greyish, hazy sky and turned to Cold Cliff, “before sending Auntie Leng to Tianfeng City, I do have a task for you. This is a test of your ability as well.”

Cold Cliff raised his head, and his gaze met Ye Wuchen’s.
