Chapter 321 Fighting with the old man, you are still tender
"Ye Chen, you're a little too young to fight with me!"
Before the group of Phantom Gate assassins around them took action, Xing Bozhong seemed to have already guessed what would happen next.
After a short period of silence, this group of top assassins from the Phantom Gate headquarters will definitely take action and launch a sexual offensive against Ye Chen and Xi Yan.
However……
"Whoosh whoosh!"
As soon as the smile crept onto his face, the dozens of assassins around him all retreated in unison.
The speed was so fast that in just a few breaths, it receded like the tide, leaving no one behind.
"what's the situation?"
Xing Bozhong was stunned.
Yin Zhichou was also stunned.
Even Xiyan, who had just landed from the treetops, was confused and didn't know what happened.
Only Ye Chen had no problem with this.
Because what he hasn't said yet is that as early as when Xi Yan arrived, these top assassins from the Phantom Gate headquarters were already eager to intercept and kill him.
But at the critical moment, he stopped her with his eyes.
It's just that the hint was too vague, and at that time, Xing Bozhong and Yin Zhichou were all focused on Xi Yan, so naturally they didn't notice this.
As for retreating at the same time just now, it was also the result of his hint.
Of course, he could have killed someone and silenced him, but Xiyan had deliberately helped him.
Even though he didn't need the other party's help, he couldn't let these assassins kill Xi Yan just based on his intention.
As for Xing Bozhong and Yin Zhichou, he didn't take these master and disciple seriously at all.
"Master, it was so dangerous just now!"
After a brief period of silence, Yin Zhichou seemed to have collapsed and collapsed to the ground in fear.
Xing Bozhong ignored it, but the expression on his face changed.
What exactly is going on?
Logically speaking, since these assassins came from the Phantom Sect headquarters, they should not be afraid of a true disciple of the Piaomiao Sect.
Could it be...
Thinking of some possibility, he felt relieved instantly.
This group of top assassins from the headquarters must have chosen to retreat because they did not want to expose themselves as agents of the Phantom Gate.
After all, Xi Yan is a true disciple of the Piaomiao Sect and has extremely high cultivation. Even if there is a chance to assassinate the opponent here, he will definitely experience a brutal battle.
Once the battle becomes too fierce, it will definitely attract countless Piaomiao Sect warriors around!
In that case, my identity as an informant might also be exposed!
"He is worthy of being the top assassin at Phantom Gate Headquarters. Not only is he brave and careful, but he also knows how to think about me, a hard-working internal staff member. It's really rare!"
After thinking about this clearly, Xing Bozhong not only no longer had any doubts in his heart, but was also filled with relief.
On the other side, Xiyan was equally puzzled.
"They clearly wanted to take action just now, why did they suddenly retreat?"
She glanced at Ye Chen and the others, her fair and pretty face full of confusion.
"Sister Xiyan, maybe they know that you are the true disciple of our Piaomiao Sect, so they don't dare to mess around!"
Ye Chen did not answer, but Yin Zhichou, who was kept in the dark, shouted flatteringly.
In his opinion, it was indeed Xi Yan's arrival that scared off the group of Phantom Gate assassins just now.
"It seems that this is the only explanation!"
Xi Yan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Immediately, she strode up to Ye Chen and said meaningfully: "I don't need a spring to repay you, but I should always say 'thank you', right?"
"Uh...thank you!"
Ye Chen nodded awkwardly.
"So perfunctory?"
Xi Yan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "How come you are like a piece of wood and have no humanity at all?"
She had saved Ye Chen twice in a row, so it was okay if she didn't take the initiative to repay her kindness. After she reminded him, she seemed so embarrassed to say "thank you".
Who is this?
"It turns out that I am Miss Xiyan, a disciple of Wuliang Peak, and I am Xing Bozhong, the instructor of the Inner Sect's Qilin Palace. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Xing Bozhong realized it later and hurriedly raised his hand to Xi Yan.
He knew that with Xi Yan here, it would be impossible for him to kill Ye Chen.
And Ye Chen just knew his intention, no matter what, he wanted to stabilize Xi Yan.
Otherwise, when Ye Chen has the opportunity to file a complaint, he will be in danger of losing his reputation!
"Although we are from the same school, I am not familiar with you, so we should go our separate ways!"
Not only did Xiyan not appreciate Xing Bozhong's smile, she actually said this with disgust.
Xing Bozhong frowned slightly.
But before he could say anything else, Xi Yan had already turned around and said to Ye Chen again: "Hey, you kid turned a deaf ear to what I said?"
"I didn't, I've been listening to it!" Ye Chen shrugged, looking innocent.
"Forget it, talking to a wooden person like you is like playing the piano to an ox!"
Xiyan waved her hand impatiently, "From now on, you should follow me. People like you who don't know how to adapt will definitely die without knowing how to die if they encounter danger again!"
"This... is okay too!"
Ye Chen only hesitated slightly before agreeing.
He didn't want to make things worse, it was just that Xing Bozhong and his apprentice wanted to kill him and make it quick.
Of course, he actually didn't mind killing the two of them.
But since Xi Yan is here, he must not do it in front of the other party, otherwise he will be charged with "killing his fellow disciples".
"Then why are you still standing there? Come with me quickly!"
Xi Yan turned around and glared at Ye Chen, turned around and walked away.
Ye Chen glanced at Xing Bozhong and his disciples intentionally or unintentionally, and finally followed them.
Soon after, the two walked away.
"Master, what should I do?"
Being ignored by Xi Yan, Yin Zhichou was somewhat angry.
Of course, what he was more worried about was whether Ye Chen would reveal their previous intentions.
"This Ye Chen is really a strange guy!"
Xing Bozhong was surprised and said: "It stands to reason that he finally managed to save his life, and we had just threatened to kill him to silence him, but he didn't tell Xi Yan the truth immediately. What on earth is he going to do?"
"Master, could it be that he is still dreaming of impressing us with sincerity and hoping that we will let him go?" Yin Zhichou said thoughtfully.
"Although this possibility is unlikely, no matter what he wants to do, he won't live long!"
"Master, what do you mean by this?" Yin Zhichou was startled.
Xing Bozhong reached out and patted his shoulder, his face became more serious than ever before, "Zhiqiu, there are some secrets that I should let you know!"
"What secret?" Yin Zhichou asked subconsciously.
"Zhiqiu, do you know why the group of assassins appeared for no reason just now and why they suddenly retreated?" Xing Bozhong asked instead without answering.
"This...disciple doesn't know!" Yin Zhichou shook his head.
"Because I am a teacher!" Xing Bozhong pointed at himself.
"Is it because of you, master?" Yin Zhichou was confused when he heard this, "What does the appearance and retreat of these Phantom Sect assassins have to do with you, master?"
