Ye Chen stopped and looked at the young man and woman in surprise.
"Hey, do you know who we are now?"
The woman puffed out her chest and said proudly: "My name is Yu Xiang, and I am an outer disciple of Qian Yao Mansion!"
She pointed to the man next to her and introduced: "He is my senior brother, his name is Duanmu Liang!"
The man raised his head and showed a bit of dignity.
But Ye Chen ignored it and said with interest: "So, you are going to return to Qianyao Mansion next?"
"Not bad!" Yu Xiang nodded.
"That's a coincidence, we are indeed going to your Qianyao Mansion!"
Ye Chen's face, which had always been as ice-like, finally showed a rare smile.
"Even if you are going to Qianyao Mansion, what does that have to do with us?" Duanmu Liang curled his lips.
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
What he said just now was just because the other party was a disciple of Qianyao Mansion, so he wanted to go with him on the way.
But if the other party disagrees, he doesn't care at all and just robs the carriage.
But just when he was about to take action, the woman named Yu Xiang said again: "Brother, can you please stop being so impersonal? Although he looks cold on the surface, you can see that he loves his wife very much!"
"Such a coward who is as timid as a mouse, traveling with him will definitely harm my reputation!" Duanmu Liang said sarcastically without any modification.
Yu Xiang did not answer, but looked at Ye Chen, "If my guess is correct, you should have taken your wife to our Qianyao Mansion to look for medicine, right?"
"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded.
"Senior brother, do you hear that?" Yu Xiang looked at Duanmu Liang again, "You see how loving and pitiful they are. Since they are traveling with us, why not give them a ride and have more company on the way!"
"This...that's okay, as long as you're happy, junior sister!"
Although Duanmu Liang looked reluctant, he seemed to be more obedient to Yu Xiang's words. He only hesitated for a moment and then readily agreed.
"Thank you!"
Seeing that the other party agreed to give him a ride, Ye Chen not only did not try to force him, but instead cast a grateful look at Yu Xiang.
After all, these two people are also disciples of Qianyao Mansion. He went here to ask for help from Qianyao Mansion. Maybe these two people can be of some help.
Soon, the group was on the road!
Although Duanmu Liang agreed to give Ye Chen a ride, he never treated Ye Chen with disdain along the way.
"Your name is Ye Chen, right?"
In the carriage, Duanmu Liang said, "I just can't understand it. You are young, strong, and have sound limbs. You just met a robber in Hanwei City before, and you were actually frightened like that?"
Before Ye Chen could speak, he continued to think to himself: "If it were me, I would definitely beat that robber to pieces and make him cry for his father and mother!"
Although he didn't want to answer, but he didn't want to offend the other party's face, Ye Cheng still said patiently: "I said before, I gave him the money voluntarily!"
"Ha, are you still pretending?"
Duanmu Liang was furious, "You were obviously scared and didn't dare to resist, so you just handed the money to the robber!"
"This... okay, I admit, I am really scared, okay?" Ye Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"That's pretty much it!"
Seeing Ye Chen admitting, Duanmu Liang's face finally looked better, but he still kept chattering and talking self-righteously.
"I'm telling you, as a man, you can't be too weak, especially in front of the woman you love, you must show the courage and responsibility that a man should have!"
"It's really such a coward to act like you did before!"
He pointed at Xue Wuhen, who was nestling in Ye Chen's arms, and added: "It's fortunate that your wife is considerate enough, otherwise if it were a woman with stronger self-esteem, she might really leave you!"
Ye Chen just smiled bitterly.
But this expression turned into cowardice in Duanmu Liang's eyes.
"Although a country is easy to change and a person's nature is hard to change, a person's character can be changed through acquired training!"
Duanmu Liang slapped his thigh and said with regret: "It's a pity that the same situation will not happen again. Otherwise, if you encounter a robber again, I will definitely teach you how to be a man with backbone!"
"Mr. Duanmu, something bad has happened. We encountered robbers!"
As soon as Duanmu Liang's voice fell, the anxious voice of the driver immediately came from the front of the carriage.
"What? Robbery, robber?"
Duanmu Liang's expression froze.
He just said that if he encounters a robber again, he must teach Ye Chen how to be a man with backbone.
Unexpectedly, just as I said the words, I actually encountered the robber again!
Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
"Everyone in the carriage, get out of here!"
"If you don't cooperate obediently, our knives will not accept life!"
Before Duanmu Liang and others could react, several rough voices came from outside the carriage.
When I opened the curtain, I saw a group of brutally dressed and ferocious gangsters rushing over from all directions.
In just a moment, a circle formed around the carriage they were in.
"Brother, what should I do?"
In the carriage, Yu Xiang panicked a little and immediately looked at Duanmu Liang for help.
Although they are disciples of Qianyao Mansion, they are only good at growing various medicinal materials, but their own cultivation is not very good.
They laughed at Ye Chen wantonly before, but it was just a matter of 50 steps and a hundred steps.
After all, most of the robbers in the city are just small gangsters with no cultivation. With their cultivation, they can deal with anything.
But now in the wilderness, the robbers who appear may be desperadoes who lick blood from their swords every day.
If you really want to meet such a ruthless character, their modest level of cultivation will not be enough.
"Don't be afraid, junior sister. With senior brother here, there will definitely be no trouble!"
Duanmu Liang was a little nervous at first, but when he thought of what he had just said to Ye Chen, he suppressed his uneasiness and pretended to be disdainful: "Don't worry, they are just a few little thieves, I haven't taken them seriously yet."
inside!"
Having said this, he looked at Ye Chen again and said vigorously: "Ye Chen, originally I didn't bother to show off deliberately, but now that I have bumped into you, I will let you see. As a man with backbone, in
What should you do when faced with this situation?”
With that said, he opened the curtain with a "swish" and left the carriage with a very cool gesture.
result……
"boom!"
As soon as his head emerged from the carriage, a fist as big as a sandbag struck him from the side like lightning.
And it was impartial, hitting him right in the face.
"puff!"
Suddenly, his nose started to bleed, and his body rolled directly off the carriage, unable to get up for a long time.
