Chapter 3873: Exploring the City Lord's Mansion at Night
The movement here was immediately transmitted to all parts of the Lin family.
After a while, there was a bustling sound.
Ye Chen ignored this and immediately looked away, as if he had just done a small thing.
Lin Yanchen was stunned, and his mind was high.
This young man in brocade robes is named Chen Beiwang, and he is the son of the lord of Cangyu City.
This person was extremely annoying and often pestered Lin Yanchen.
I don't know where Chen Beiwang heard the rumors about Ye Chen and Lin Yanchen, so he sneaked here when the Lord of Cangxuan City came to Lin's house, hoping to keep Ye Chen away from Lin Yanchen.
Only then did the scene just appear.
"Although Chen Beiwang is annoying, he is the son of the city lord after all. If there are any shortcomings, I'm afraid..."
Lin Yanchen's heart sank slightly.
Just as she was about to step forward to check on Chen Beiwang's injuries, suddenly, a group of guards appeared and quickly surrounded Chen Beiwang.
Then, a violent cough sounded.
With the help of a group of guards, Chen Beiwang woke up faintly.
However, even though he woke up, his whole body was covered in blood, his bones seemed to be broken a lot, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"Fortunately he's not dead!"
Lin Yanchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before she could speak, the head of the Lin family and a majestic-looking middle-aged man arrived at extremely fast speeds.
"It's over!"
Lin Yanchen's heart trembled slightly.
This middle-aged man is none other than the Lord of Cangyu City—Chen Jingxian.
Chen Jingxian glanced at the seriously injured Chen Beiwang, then looked at Ye Chen and said coldly: "Arrest him!"
Swipe and pull...
All the guards held their weapons tightly and were about to surround Ye Chen.
"Wait a minute!"
The head of the Lin family suddenly said something with a gloomy look on his face: "Young Master Chen is a distinguished guest of my Lin family. If it hadn't been for the Young City Master's brutal attack this time, he would not have ended up in this situation."
"Furthermore, Mr. Chen obviously showed mercy and did not take the young city lord's life. Why not treat it as a small lesson and let everyone put an end to this matter!"
While talking, the head of the Lin family stood in front of Ye Chen.
The posture is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Chen Jingxian's expression was equally gloomy.
"It's not a teaching, it's just a suggestion. Of course, the city lord doesn't have to accept it, so I have no choice but to fight to the death. After all, Mr. Chen is kind to my Lin family, and it was the young city lord who was reckless in this matter..." The head of the Lin family didn't show any signs of it.
No intention of giving in.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became stiff.
Everyone present looked at the head of the Lin family and Chen Jingxian at the same time, daring not to slack off at all.
The battle can start at any time.
"snort!"
Suddenly, Chen Jingxian snorted: "Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Jingxian left.
A group of guards carried Chen Beiwang and left the Lin family in a rage.
"father!"
After these people left, Lin Yanchen walked over full of surprise.
She didn't expect that the head of the Lin family would protect Ye Chen like this.
"Don't think too much."
The head of the Lin family touched Lin Yanchen's head and said helplessly: "Chen Jingxian came here today just to take back the Lin family's property in the name of the City Lord's Mansion. I just happened to find an excuse to make trouble."
In the past few days, the power of the City Lord's Mansion has been strong, and the properties of other families have been taken over everywhere.
Many families have long been holding their breath in response to this.
The head of the Lin family dared to resist mainly because he had the moral high ground.
Once the two sides start a war, other families will have an excuse to join.
In other words!
If it was just for Ye Chen, he might not be so strong.
"Master Chen!"
The head of the Lin family turned his eyes to Ye Chen and whispered: "Chen Jingxian is a man who must retaliate. He will definitely not let it go like this. For the sake of safety, you should leave Cangyu City as soon as possible."
"father……"
Lin Yanchen was stunned. The head of the Lin family knew her feelings for Ye Chen.
The head of the Lin family sighed: "Chen Jingxian has someone behind him, so he dared to be so arrogant. We, the Lin family, can only protect ourselves. If we let Mr. Chen down, please forgive me."
After that, the head of the Lin family walked away, leaving only sighs.
Lin Yanchen's eyes were slightly red and he could only lower his head to follow.
…
After everyone left, the courtyard returned to calm.
Ye Sanquan came over and said with an embarrassed expression: "The City Lord's Mansion has spies all over Cangyu City, even around it. If we provoke them, we will be in some trouble."
With Ye Chen's strength, he certainly didn't take the City Lord's Mansion seriously.
However, they stayed in Cangyu City just to wait for the forces on the other side of the Soul Sound Stone to appear.
If something happens now, it will probably have some impact.
"That Chen Jingxian has the soul aura on the Soul Sound Stone."
Ye Chen said coldly.
Ye Sanquan's eyes froze and he said in surprise: "You mean, Chen Jingxian is from that force?"
"uncertain!"
Ye Chen shook his head and then said: "But it is certain that he has been in contact with that force, or that he just met someone from that force not long ago."
Hearing this, Ye Sanquan felt ecstatic.
They have been waiting for so long just for each other to appear.
Now I finally have something to gain!
"What should we do next?" Ye Sanquan asked in a low voice.
"The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark. It is best to take the initiative and hang the big fish on the bait." Ye Chen remained expressionless.
When Ye Sanquan heard this, he looked at Ye Chen with a strange look.
For some reason, he felt more and more that Ye Chen had changed.
It’s not that his temperament has changed!
Rather, Ye Chen no longer treats people, things, and things as coldly and rigidly as he did at the beginning.
Sometimes, even he, a veteran, needs to think carefully about what Ye Chen says before he can fully understand it.
…
The night is getting darker.
Chen Jingxian took action to suppress the incident that occurred during the day, so not many people knew about it.
However, the entire Lin family was surrounded by soldiers, as if a war was imminent.
Midnight!
In the pitch-black night, a dark figure suddenly appeared.
The black shadow is naturally Ye Chen.
At this moment, he seemed to have merged into the night, flickering and annihilating the void, and soon he reached the sky above the majestic City Lord's Mansion.
Buzz!
A flash of light flashed past.
The entire city lord's mansion was caught in Ye Chen's eyes.
"Found it!"
Ye Chen's eyes moved and locked onto a remote courtyard on the side.
His figure flashed and disappeared instantly.
It was as if it had never happened before.
now!
In a remote courtyard!
Chen Jingxian, who was originally majestic, was now kneeling on the ground obediently, with his head lowered and not daring to look straight ahead. His posture was as humble as he wanted.
In front of him, sat a row of ten figures. The leader was the old man in robe who appeared in the majestic palace a few days ago and was scolded bloody by the man in blood-colored armor!
