Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 176: Marrige Proposals?

"So many pictures and information about female disciples? Sect master, did they come to propose marriage for Brother Chen?" Lan Ming inquired with a shock.

Isn’t her brother Chen an enemy of everyone? How could there be so many willing to marry off their disciples and daughters?

Li Mei, although not as smart as Lan Ming thought, felt the same.

Looking at their innocent expression Zhen Yunqi sighed inwardly.

Although the marriages looked friendly, they were a trap, and a huge one.

If Ye Chen rises up in the future, they will embark in glory, and if he falls, they will divide his inheritance and treasures in the name of family.

She had seen through this trick and had rejected seeing them.

Of course, there were some genuine proposals and since they started to offer treasures, she decided to see them.

Anyway, she already thought of pushing away everything on Ye Chen and letting him deal with the trouble he caused.

Whether to accept or reject the marriage will be decided by him, not her.

How could Ye Chen not see her pushing responsibility?

"Take them back. Unless I see the girl personally, I won’t make a decision," he stated.

The information and pictures might be made up after all.

Zhen Yunqi could only roll her eyes at him but she did not refuse.

It was him who rejected the offers not her.

"Okay. Rest well; we will return tomorrow," she announced.

"Master, what if the mysterious people came to attack again? Also, those heretical sects—they had suffered a loss because of Senior Brother."

"There are also rumors about Senior Brother possessing heaven-defying treasure," Li Mei expressed her concerns.

Lan Ming was also worried about this so she glanced at Zhen Yunqi, waiting for an answer.

"You two worry too much. Just know that no one will dare to attack tomorrow; if they do, they won’t be able to live alive," Zhen Yunqi stated, her eyes flashing with chill.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen remained composed as always.

The reason was simple. Why was he being targeted? For treasures and secrets.

Even an idiot would know if they managed to obtain it, they would be the next target.

If they wanted to eliminate him, then it had to be done personally and secretly.

However, clearly this was a pipe dream.

Ye Chen was not alone. There were the Su family, BlueMoon Pavilion, the Wu family, Buddhist Pavilion, and even Crown Prince Ji Feng on his side.

If they can help him get through the crisis, the benefits they will receive certainly would not be less.

Not to mention Su Qiming and others knew his ability to refine tier-9 pills. They would spare no efforts in protecting if there was a crisis.

Of course he couldn’t forget the most mysterious person, who was none other than Zhen Yunqi.

With so many people holding the sky, what trouble would come to him?

Li Mei was stupid so she did not understand where he got confidence. As for Lan Ming, she did not think too deeply.

Hence their worry.

However, both Ye Chen and Zhen Yunqi did not explain. It was better for these girls to experience and understand personally.

No surprising events occurred and the night passed peacefully.

The next morning they did not delay and set off in a carriage.

Their destination, the square plaza of Mystic City.

"Why are you here?" Zhen Yunqi inquired sharply.

"Hehe, why can’t I be here?" Jing Xiao refused to explain her gaze lingering over Ye Chen.

Yesterday she had been daydreaming about planting a tier-8 ’Cloud Spirit Tree.’

But what was the result?

Her little disciple, to repay the favor, handed over the tree to this brat!

She was furious but had nowhere to vent.

Ye Chen guessed why she was here; however, he pretended not to know anything and kept teasing Wang Yiyi.

He would have, of course, wanted to take liberties with his junior sister and Lan Ming.

But they were ignoring him.

Helpless, he could only find a new target to pass from boredom.

It did not take too long and within a few minutes, they arrived at the square plaza.

With Su Qiming holding fort, they did not need to take off from outside the city.

"Brother Ye Chen! You are here."

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, a little girl greeted him.

Who else could it be except for Lin Xian’er?

He flicked her forehead teasingly and glanced at the white eagles standing in the center of the plaza.

The number was a bit too much, especially since only four of them were returning. As for the other elders, they had already left yesterday.

"We are also coming with you."

Seeing his puzzled look, Jing Xiao replied.

She had two reasons to accompany Ye Chen back to the Azure Sect. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The first reason was to get the tree back.

As for second, it was Lan Ming.

She, after all, received the alchemist inheritance, so Jing Xiao wanted to inquire about a few things.

But clearly these few things were not simple; if not, she would’ve already inquired here.

Zhen Yunqi did not refuse her and flew on the back of eagle.

"Do you want to come with me?" Ye Chen asked, looking at the little girl, who was reluctant to part with him.

"Mhmm, I won’t. Sister Jiarong will miss me."

Finally she shook her head with struggle or was rather coerced by Liu Jiarong silently.

If not for her, the little girl would’ve said yes without hesitation.

Ye Chen chuckled faintly and patted her head.

"We will meet again," he said goodbye and stood together with Zhen Yunqi.

Whoosh!

The eagle let out a cry and soared.

...

"Was it okay for us not to say goodbye?" Hong Fang questioned his own decision.

"Didn’t you say Xiao Chen will understand us? Old Hong, if he holds a grudge because of this, then I will break ties with you," Su Qiming said jokingly.

They did not go to Central Plaza to see him off.

The reason? They wanted restless people to take action.

There were many cultivators who did not care about death and getting targeted.

Hence, it was better to nip the bud when they could; if not, there will be countless lurking poisonous snakes.
