For instance, once under Wei Cheng’s orders, he even dared to venture alone into Lisong Valley to investigate; that showed some courage.
And now, Chen Ye’s subordinates, Dark Old Man and Lin Jinghua, have cultivation levels that are too low, and Duan Ling is merely carrying out sect tasks, so it’s not ideal to always bother him.
This Wang Hao, at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, could be put to use.
Chen Ye has always been stationed in Lisong Valley, staying in seclusion for long periods, thus knowing little about the information in nearby markets. It just happens that he can send Wang Hao to the surrounding areas to gather information for him—not necessarily to uncover secrets, but at least to timely relay some key messages.
Like the upheaval in the Three Thousand Great Mountains, or Yuan Haoxuan from Black Cliff City... If Chen Ye hadn’t visited Peach Mountain District today, he would still remain unaware of such matters.
Chen Ye, holding Lin Jin, was traversing the dense night on his Flying Sword.
The hustle and chaos of the market were soon left far behind them.
Leaving only the cold moonlight, and the whistling of the wind,
High above a dense forest, still several miles away from Lisong Valley, Chen Ye abruptly halted his Flying Sword.
His Divine Sense moved and quietly spread towards the depths of the forest.
A moment later,
a shadow leaped out from the forest.
Extending a hand, it respectfully handed Chen Ye a Storage Bag stained with dark brown blood.
Chen Ye received it, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and nodded with satisfaction.
The resources Wei Cheng carried were indeed plentiful.
He placed Qingzhi back into the Storage Bag and then glanced at the girl in his embrace who seemed oblivious to it all, before urging the Flying Sword to dash towards Lisong Valley.
"He... has done unspeakable acts..."
...
When Chen Ye’s figure reappeared at the entrance of Lisong Valley, the sky had already started to show the first light of dawn.
The entire valley was still shrouded in the tranquil morning mist.
Silently, he returned Lin Jin to her small courtyard.
Lin Qiongyu had stayed up all night, and upon seeing Chen Ye return with her sister, she hurriedly went to greet him, her bright eyes bloodshot:
"Master..."
For Lin Qiongyu, Chen Ye’s tone was unusually gentle: "Don’t worry, the child had fun today."
"!"
Hearing Chen Ye’s gentle voice, Lin Qiongyu was momentarily taken aback.
Since that snow disaster,
she had never heard Senior Chen speak so softly; it had always been a calm yet cold tone.
And now... it was no longer Senior Chen, but Master.
"Isn’t that right, Jin’er?" Chen Ye said, affectionately pinching the girl’s nose.
Lin Jin blinked her eyes, not responding, leaving Chen Ye somewhat frustrated.
Forget it, this is not something that can be accomplished in a day,
I’m not a succubus! How could I, Chen Ye, make her respect and approach me as her master in just one day?
Chen Ye thought self-deprecatingly, placing the girl back in her wheelchair.
Just as he was about to move, he noticed the girl’s gaze was still on him, carrying a hint of curiosity.
Chen Ye smiled: "Master has spent a day with you, now it’s time to accompany other disciples. In Master’s little courtyard, there are two lovely girls; I’ll introduce them to you in the future."
The girl silently lowered her gaze, focusing intently on the doll in her arms.
Hmm?
This little girl truly loves dolls.
Chen Ye laughed heartily, tossed a bag to Lin Qiongyu: "Here are some Qi Nourishing Pills and Spirit Stones for your cultivation. And remember, Jin’er is not suitable for using Pills for cultivation right now, so do not feed her."
"Pills..."
Lin Qiongyu stiffly took the bag, and before opening it, the rich scent of the Pills wafted out.
This... these are Upper Grade Pills!
Lin Qiongyu’s pupils shrank, her slender white fingers trembling. Facing immense temptation, she disregarded politeness and instinctively opened the bag.
Inside were more than ten Upper Grade Qi Nourishing Pills!
"Master’s great kindness and virtue, Qiongyu will never..."
The girl knelt on the ground, her voice choked with emotion, but midway through her words, she realized that the man had left without her noticing.
She bit her lip, murmuring to herself,
"Never forget..."
