Chapter 391: Resolution (2/2)
To the Abyss.
”So where is this expert you told me about?” asked Ye Chong, as they wandered in the city.
”I'm looking for him, don't you see?” replied Ye Luo with an irresponsible shrug.
”So practically you have zero idea on his location, right?” The rhetorical question struck the discussion.
”Hah!” Laughed Ye Luo shamelessly, ”As I've said, I *heard* it, I only knew him from the word of mouth.”
”Heard? So your information contains a considerable amount of uncertainty, which I would suggest to give up. Also, I would not be joining any of your search plans without a certain level of intelligible certainty.” Ye Chong sounded like Mu...
”Oh Chong, please don't do this to me.”
”Ye. Call me Ye. How many times I have to correct you on this again?”
”Everyone on the street has that name. I can simply name a number of Ye's I know. Chong sounds way better in my humble opinion.”
And the exchange went on, as they walk the street.
Guang Wei was strolling the street mindlessly. It felt like a miracle that he survived the alchemy war back then but it also felt like a debacle. He thought he had found compatriots yet it turned out to be a disappointment.
Sigh...
If it was not the impact of the war he would thought he must have a dream.
The silver pendant! The Silver Strand Pendant the branch had lost for years! That mysterious alchemist must be the hermit of his branch!
But sigh...
Sighing was the only thing he could do.
”Call me Ye so no one gets hurt, especially you.”
”Please Chong, be my guest.”
The argument caught his attention. He was pondering something and he was disrupted. He was enraged and decided to take a look at the noisy two. He wondered what was so important that these two men must quarrel at the street, he was going to shout but that chest of one man gave him a shudder.
His mind was blank. His stance was stoned.
”I am not doing a pointless kill.”
”Did you chicken?”
They walked away.
”Hold it right there you two!” Guang Wei realized something.
The two Ye's carried on arguing as they never expected anyone recognizing them. But Guang Wei continued shouting and sprinted towards them.
Pant... Pant... ”Nobody moves.” He spread his arms and blocked their way. It was an exercise too overwhelming for an alchemist like Guang Wei, he thought he would lose his breath in front of these two looking confused. His face was red and his eyes were glaring huge at Ye Chong.
Ye Chong and Ye Luo exchanged glances in bewilderment.
Thup.
Sob... Sob... Guang Wei grabbed Ye Chong by his legs.
Ye Chong backed off, Ye Chong backed off slowly, that Guang Wei lost balance and hit the ground by his chin. His face was covered in mud, his lips bled slightly.
He got up promptly and kneeled down, words were choked by his tears, ”Oh, are you my seniors! You must be my seniors, all these years I've been looking for you, and I have finally found you... Could you imagine into what demise our branch had fallen?” The misery, the emotion was overflowing, that he cried out loud.
”Uhh... Chong, do you know him?” Ye Luo asked with awkwardness as he rose his index finger at the worshipping Guang Wei.
”Nope,” Ye Chong gave a firm reply.
”Then what in the Dankwood he's...”
”I dunno.”
