Chapter 1029 Chen Shuyu Pays Respects to the Hall Master
This wasn't the first time Ye Yang had said "I forgot" to me.
When we in Liangjie Tang gathered together after tea and dinner to chat, we would talk about the interesting things that happened when we were learning our skills and venturing into the martial world, but Ye Yang would remain silent.
Afraid that he would seem out of place, I had even reminded him about it. As a result, Ye Yang would always say "I forgot," which made me scold him, "Did Black and White Impermanence give you Meng Po soup before dragging you out?"
Ye Yang had never argued.
I just thought he didn't like to talk.
Only now did I realize that Ye Yang had truly forgotten his past.
Ye Yang wasn't someone who would take the initiative to talk to girls. The fact that he could talk to Chen Shuyu meant that the feeling of familiarity she gave him was very strong.
In the unpredictable martial world, with Chen Shuyu joining Liangjie Tang, no one could be sure of her true purpose.
If Ye Yang could remember Chen Shuyu, he would never remain silent.
I led Chen Shuyu into the living room, and after we sat down as host and guest, I said, "Miss Chen, our agreement should be that you ask three questions and I answer three questions."
"Now, the first question has just passed, and you've joined Liangjie Tang. That's quite a surprise to me."
Chen Shuyu smiled and said, "My question isn't about the result of the task, but about the process. From the moment you set off, Qing Ming and Qing Tang have been following you."
"I've seen everything you've done."
"People like us are more cautious when choosing a lord than strategists are, but we're also more casual."
"If I didn't think Liangjie Tang was worth my service, I wouldn't have shown up even if you had completed all the questions."
"Moreover, I would have taken Ye Yang away!"
I couldn't help but frown. Chen Shuyu said, "The biggest reason I chose to join Liangjie Tang is because of Ye Yang!"
I couldn't help but look at Ye Yang, who was shaking his head slightly.
I never believed the storytellers' talk of the face of a Son of Heaven or a person of destiny.
What "A call to arms, and heroes from all directions flock to him. A shake of his tiger body, and heroes from all corners bow down and worship him." It's all nonsense.
Martial world people who seek refuge with a lord are ultimately doing it for their own benefit. Only 30% of the reason why a person of destiny gathers all the heroes of the world is due to his personal charm. The other 70% is because people want to gain merit for following the dragon.
I had never been too concerned about subduing Qing Tang, mainly because I didn't think Liangjie Tang could bring much benefit to someone who was skilled in intelligence.
On the contrary, Lao Liu had always been more attentive to Qing Tang's affairs.
Now, the reason Chen Shuyu gave me was reasonable, but not entirely reasonable.
I couldn't help but ask, "Miss Chen, can I ask why?"
Chen Shuyu said, "The reason is simple. Because I am a Huangquan stowaway, and my memories have only just been awakened."
"Ye Yang is my lord."
"So, I followed Ye Yang to Liangjie Tang. It's as simple as that."
Before I could speak, Chen Shuyu continued, "My memories have only recently been awakened, and I haven't been able to remember many things. If you want to ask me more about Ye Yang, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer you."
Great!
Chen Shuyu had blocked my next words!
Chen Shuyu may have also seen my concerns and asked with a half-smile, "Hall Master won't be afraid to accept me into Liangjie Tang because of my few words, will you?"
To be honest, I was a little afraid of accepting Chen Shuyu!
A Huangquan stowaway, who knows what memories she might awaken?
What if she remembers that she is Ye Yang's subordinate now, and in a few days, she remembers that she has a feud with Ye Yang?
Wouldn't putting her in Liangjie Tang be like putting a knife next to you?
Lao Liu didn't send me a telepathic message this time, which meant that he also had concerns in his heart.
I subconsciously looked towards Ling, who sent me a telepathic message, "I think we can trust her! At least, Ye Yang doesn't feel any hostility towards her."
I nodded and said, "Miss Chen is joking. The contract has been signed, am I still afraid of you going back on your word?"
"Chen Shuyu pays her respects to the Hall Master!" Chen Shuyu stood up and formally saluted me, which meant that she had become a member of Liangjie Tang.
I waved my hand and said, "The people in Liangjie Tang are all family. There aren't so many rules. You'll get used to it."
When Chen Shuyu sat down with a smile, I still thought this girl was quite well-behaved. Who knew that after that, I would find out that this was all an illusion! She was just as sly as Ye Yang, and might get the better of you one day.
While I asked Yun Chang to make tea, I asked Chen Shuyu, "Now that you've seen through my mission, can you tell me what's going on with Wu Sheng?"
Knowing that I was testing her, Chen Shuyu generously replied, "The leader of Wu Sheng is named Yu Wusheng. He is the eldest disciple of the nine-tailed demon fox Yu Qingzhu. Jia Yixiao is Yu Qingzhu's second disciple."
"Yu Wusheng rarely shows his face. Apart from Jia Yixiao, probably no one has seen Yu Wusheng's true face."
"As far as I know, the Reincarnation Department has been trying to win over the Wu Sheng organization, and has even made many promises. However, Wu Sheng's attitude seems very ambiguous, neither directly rejecting nor completely joining."
"This time, in Beishui Town, Hua Wuxin controlled Fan Fang to contact the Reincarnation Department, which was actually a brilliant move. If there was no restraint from the Reincarnation Department, and Jia Yixiao was really free to act, he would not have been so easy to deal with."
