Chapter 373: They Can Kill You with Just One Breath! (Update 2)
The next afternoon.
Ye Chen, escorted by his family, Yang Tian and Lin Tai, rushed to Tiannan Coastal Pier!
The cute little baby tugged on the corner of his clothes tightly and said with some reluctance: "Dad, can I go with you?"
"Mengmeng, dear, daddy is going to do some business and will be back soon." Su Yuhan comforted the little guy by touching his hair.
"Dad, remember to bring delicious food to others." The little guy stuck out his tongue, then let go of him and returned to Su Yuhan's arms.
"Remember to come back early!"
Su Yuhan held the child and rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.
Everyone in the family knew Ye Chen's purpose of going to Hong Kong Island. The ancestor of Huangquan was dying and was counting on the Nine-Section Soul Grass to survive.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Ye Chen walked over and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "If you have nothing to do these days, you can go to my company to help take care of it. Be sure to ask the tower to follow you. The most important thing is to wash it." Wait for me at home when you’re clean!”
"Pooh!"
Su Yuhan's pretty face heated up, and she gave him an annoyed mouthful: "I heard that there are many beauties in Hong Kong Island. If I find you hanging out with women outside, don't even think about getting into my bed when you come back!"
When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry immediately. After making various guarantees, he got on the boat in front of everyone's eyes.
A passenger ship from Tiannan Port to China Harbor Pier on Hong Kong Island.
Due to the National Day, the tickets for the passenger ship were almost sold out half a month ago, especially the real cabins were sold out.
Ye Chen didn't care and just asked Mr. Gu to book a fourth-class seat for himself. After all, it took less than three hours from Tiannan Port to Hong Kong Island.
For this reason, Mr. Gu also contacted someone from the Fang family on Hong Kong Island to pick him up at the Zhonggang pier. It is said that this Fang family is the natal family of Gu Shaokun's wife Fang Yuan.
The passenger ship was divided into two floors. As soon as he got on board, Ye Chen saw that the deck was full of people. Everyone was full of joy and took various photos.
Ye Chen watched for a while, until the broadcast room announced that he was ready to sail, he walked into the cabin, found his seat, sat down, took out a Tao Te Ching he bought on the road and started reading.
Not long after, a clear voice sounded in his ear: "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but you seem to be sitting in my seat."
Ye Chen looked up.
I saw a woman wearing a goose-yellow skirt standing in front of me. The woman was wearing sunglasses and her breath was very peaceful.
Behind him stood a middle-aged man with a big belly and a suit. However, the middle-aged man's eyes always stayed on the woman intentionally or unintentionally.
"Excuse me!"
Ye Chen looked at the ticket and the seat number, then stood up and changed seats with the other person, sitting in the middle of the three seats.
"Thanks!"
After the woman sat down, she took off her sunglasses, revealing an extremely delicate and pretty face, and took the initiative to reach out to Ye Chen: "Let me meet you, my name is Dai Shiyu."
"Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen looked as usual, said something calmly, then lowered his head and continued to read the Tao Te Ching in his hand.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man sitting outside took the initiative to hold Dai Shiyu's hand and said with enthusiasm: "Ms. Dai, I...my name is Hou Lin, the store manager of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Store on Sai Kung Street, Hong Kong Island!"
"Well, hello!" Dai Shiyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she withdrew her hand that was tightly held, with a somewhat cold attitude.
Hou Lin was unaware of this and wished he could sit next to her. Since Ye Chen was caught in the middle, he couldn't help but said, "Who is it? Can we change seats?"
at the same time.
He looked Ye Chen up and down, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. He was obviously not a big shot because he was dressed so ordinary and traveling in fourth class.
However, Ye Chen seemed not to hear it.
Seeing that he was ignoring him, Hou Lin felt a little embarrassed and snorted coldly and said nothing more.
On the contrary, Dai Shiyu looked at Ye Chen carefully. After seeing that he was holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching, a flash of surprise flashed in his beautiful eyes: "Mr. Ye, do you also like to read the Tao Te Ching?"
Before Ye Chen could speak, she immediately smiled and said, "My father also likes to read the Tao Te Ching. He feels that the Tao Te Ching contains all kinds of profound principles between heaven and earth."
"I don't like watching it!"
She was interrupted by Ye Chen before she finished speaking.
Dai Shiyu was slightly startled, but she thought he was being modest and didn't mind: "Since you don't like to watch it, why are you still watching it?"
"Kill time!"
Ye Chen said calmly.
Dai Shiyu was completely speechless.
There is no time to talk today.
At the same time, she also became more curious about Ye Chen. She thought she was quite pretty and attracted a lot of attention wherever she went, but Ye Chen didn't look at her much from beginning to end.
It was as if she was worse than a Tao Te Ching in his hand.
Marven asked: "Can your father understand the Tao Te Ching?"
“I’m not saying I understand it, I just like it!”
Dai Shiyu smiled slightly: "My father has studied the Tao Te Ching for most of his life, and he has a superficial understanding of it. He often tells me the various principles above."
“What’s so good about the Tao Te Ching!”
Hou Lin, who had never been able to find a chance to speak, sneered: "It's just a book about the remnants of feudal society. The reason why it's so mysterious is because of speculation by literati. It's better to read the popular science about jade!"
At this point, he smiled warmly at Dai Shiyu: "Miss Dai, you must visit my jewelry store when you go to Hong Kong Island. There are many jewelry, jade, and gold. I will give you a discount if you like any of them. No, I will give them to you for free!"
"Thank you, but I don't like jewelry!"
Dai Shiyu smiled politely and continued to say to Ye Chen: "My father said that the Tao Te Ching was passed down by Lao Dan. When I was very young, he often told me the story of the purple air coming from the east."
"What is the story of the purple air coming from the east?" Hou Lin interrupted.
Dai Shiyu frowned and shook her head secretly and said: "The so-called purple air coming from the east means that before Laozi went west through Hangu Pass, Hangu Pass Commander Yin Xi saw purple air coming from the east, knowing that a saint was passing through the pass, and indeed saw Laozi riding a green bull passing through Hangu Pass, implying auspicious future."
"Later, Laozi stayed in Hangu Pass to comprehend, and finally realized the Tao Te Ching, passed it on to the world, and ascended to heaven on the purple air!"
Hearing this,
Ye Chen looked at her in surprise, obviously he didn't expect that a girl like her would know this allusion.
"That's just a legend, it's really the remnant of feudalism."
Hou Lin sneered, looked at Ye Chen and sneered: "Young man, I advise you to read less of this kind of thing if you have the time. You poor people should read more modern inspirational books!"
Ye Chen smiled and continued to read. Dai Shiyu looked at Hou Lin with some disgust and ignored him!
The two people's coldness made Hou Lin a little angry, and he said intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss Dai, if you go to Hong Kong Island, if you encounter any trouble, you can find me. Hong Kong Island has been a bit chaotic recently, and many people have died."
"Chaos?" Dai Shiyu was a little unconvinced.
Hou Lin nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that there are ancient warriors fighting. You know ancient warriors, right? People like Brother Ye can blow you to death in one breath!"
"Is there really an ancient warrior?" Dai Shiyu was a little shocked.
Hou Lin saw her expression, and said with a proud look on his face, "It's true, but don't be afraid, I just happen to know an ancient warrior."
But when his eyes fell on Ye Chen.
He found that Ye Chen didn't hear him.
He felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, and couldn't help but sneered: "Brother Ye doesn't seem to believe me?"
"Believe!"
Ye Chen said expressionlessly: "But so what? It's okay if they don't provoke me, but if they provoke me, they will die!"
"Who do you think you are?"
Hou Lin laughed and said: "I know you want to deliberately show your fearlessness in front of Miss Dai, but believe me, when you really meet someone, you will find that you regret coming to this world."
At this time, the cabin suddenly shook violently, followed by a series of exclamations.
"Look, there are people on the sea!"
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"They are rushing towards us!"
"..."
Ye Chen and others looked up and saw three people running on the vast river. The one running in front was a middle-aged man with a broken arm.
The man was pale, holding a package tightly in his hand. He looked back at the two people behind him while running. The two people were wearing black clothes, covering their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed, and holding two samurai swords in their hands.
People from Japan?
Ninja?
Ye Chen's face was slightly condensed.
...
