Rumours

"Has my identity been discovered?" Ye Chen frowned and felt unhappy.

Ye Chen's guess was absolutely correct. After all the tavern patrons had been chased away, leaving only himself, two people rushed in.

Of the two people who entered, Ye Chen recognized one of them, he was Ji Bao in the past. At this moment, he walked behind a strong-looking, stern and cold elderly man with an embarrassed expression.

As for the elderly man himself, his momentum was truly strong, when he walked with the rustling sound of his armor, he seemed to be able to make people's hearts tremble. From his appearance and slightly arrogant expression, Ye Chen guessed that he was a person with an important rank among the royal soldiers.

But Ye Chen didn't care, and went back to picking up his tea glass on the table. However dashing the man looked, he was still an ordinary human with no spiritual energy fluctuations in his body. Perhaps, after hearing Ji Bao's story that he saw an Immortal, this elderly man couldn't help but look at himself.

Ye Chen's judgment was absolutely correct. After the elderly man was five steps away from him, the excitement in his elderly eyes could not be hidden.

Then with a humble attitude and giving a greeting by clasping his hands together, the man bowed slightly and said, "Master Immortal, I am Wei Yanlu, the second general under the King's command, I apologize for not welcoming you. This lowly one also personally apologizes for suddenly coming and disturbing his Master."

Ye Chen glanced around, sizing up the man in front of him vaguely and asked in a slightly cold tone, "Is there something?"

The cold question with little mana that Ye Chen released immediately made Wei Yanlu tense, and cold sweat began to appear on his face.

As a general, this was the first time someone dared to speak like that, but Wei Yanlu knew that Immortals had strange temperaments.

So, he immediately took out two bags full of silver money and handed them over to Ye Chen respectfully, "Firstly, the king and I are very grateful that Lord Immortal extended his hand to my subordinates earlier. Although this is worth nothing in the Master's eyes, I hope you will not refuse it."

Ye Chen didn't take it, and found that the two full bags definitely contained thousands of silver more than the original agreement.

With such advantages, Ye Chen knew that Wei Yanlu didn't come just to give him that.

Sure enough, after placing the two bags in his hands on the table right in front of Ye Chen, Wei Yanlu spoke again with fear and caution, "Besides, the King said that if the Immortal could--"

"Do you think... the King you say in your mouth is worthy to command the Immortals?" Ye Chen immediately interrupted him coldly and immediately let out his momentum.

Was King Yunqiyun joking? How could Ye Chen, who only sought the path of Immortality, be willing to be ordered by a King? Even though the King had a very high title in the eyes of millions of other humans, he was only a mortal.

Moreover, what benefits could a mortal bring him? Money, position, women and power, Ye Chen didn't even think about it.

"thump"

"thump"

Two people, including Ji Bao immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed with their bodies shaking in fear.

Especially Wei Yanlu, who felt that something was pressing all over his body and made his unable to help but tremble and sweat on his back.

On his way here, Wei Yanlu had already shown momentum and knew that he was not weak. When he heard the King's proposal, and intended to make Ye Chen the protector of the kingdom, Wei Yanlu knew that something like that was definitely impossible to happen.

However, after hearing the story from Ji Bao that this Immortal Being was willing to travel with him in exchange for some silver, perhaps there would be a chance. But what is happening now?

Not only did his words make the Immortals angry, but they also scolded him for not thinking that the King of mortals had a higher status than immortals.

Wei Yanlu also soon discovered that Immortals could not be considered ordinary humans. The King's thinking is also ridiculous! To make Immortal his subordinate, that was truly seeking death.

"From your words alone, I should have no reason not to take action. But I won't, and I don't think it's useful either. So, I will ask a few things, if your answer is satisfactory, I will let you go." Ye Chen said again and made Wei Yanlu's pressure a little lighter.

"Of course! Of course! The Immortal can ask me anything. Although I won't know everything, I still know some things as a general."

Ye Chen snorted and sneered when he heard Wei Yanlu's words, which still had arrogance in his words.

Fortunately Ye Chen had no intention of asking about strange things, otherwise Wei Yanlu would immediately feel embarrassed, and perhaps his arrogance as a general would completely disappear.

What Ye Chen asked was just a simple matter, like had Wei Yanlu ever seen other Immortal beings besides him?

Wei Yanlu's answer was of course no, even though he was a royal general, he had never seen him once until today. He had only heard about the rumor that the Yunqiyun Monarch had some superficial relationship with an Immortal, but that was also just a rumor, and no one could prove its authenticity.

From that answer, Ye Chen finally realized that cultivators like him must be very rare and not cabbages that could be found everywhere. His arrival in this city was also accidental. If it wasn't for Ye Chen previously having some good luck, perhaps Wei Yanlu and the others would never have encountered an Immortal in their entire lives.

Ye Chen had expected such an answer, but he still felt disappointed, and chose to ask about the rumors of the fairies in the abandoned temple.

Just when Wei Yanlu heard about the question, he felt a little happy because he knew something and confidently answered, "The rumors are indeed true! Although no one has ever seen immortal in person, we find out that the people who lived in the temple and treated patients all this time were immortal's direct disciples. So, the rumor that there are immortals in the temple must be true."

The words "oh" were the last response Ye Chen gave before there was a sound of rushing wind and everything became silent.

When Wei Yanlu who was still lowering his head and prostrating felt the strangeness, he slowly raised his head and found that Ye Chen had left with one bag of the two bags of silver coins on the table having disappeared.

"It really scared me-- I never thought that the young man just now was an Immortal with a strange temperament, who some time ago was traveling together." Ji Bao couldn't help but say when he thought of Ye Chen who had previously traveled with him.

"Do not say anything!" Wei Yanlu next to him suddenly said coldly and his elegance and arrogance as a general immediately returned.

But he still felt afraid and coldly warned, "Immortals like them are not something we can provoke. It's our luck to be able to meet and talk to him, but remember one thing. Whatever happens here, don't let it spread!"
