Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The living room fell into dead silence again!
After all, the ten great ancient families of Shang Santian had all entered the world for the ghost ship. The netherworld token was the necessary item to board the ship, how could they not be concerned?
He met everyone’s gaze.
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “I do have one.”
Following what he said, exclaims were heard in the living room. Even Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng were no exception. Their pupils constricted slightly. They were shocked that Ye Chen had the netherworld token, but they were also shocked that Ye Chen dared to admit it.
“Interesting!”
Xiang Nan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly chuckled. He looked at Ye Chen with a burning gaze, “I don’t know if you’re ignorant or fearless. How dare you admit that you have the netherworld token in our presence? Perhaps you think you can protect it with your ability?”
The ten great ancient families were very determined to board the ghost ship. On the other hand, there were only eight netherworld tokens. Now, one was in Ye Chen’s hands while the other was in Shi Qianhan’s. In other words, there were only six netherworld tokens that the ten great ancient families could compete for.
It definitely meant that the four ancient families had no fate of obtaining the six netherworld tokens. The consequence of that was that the four ancient families would place their attention on Ye Chen and Shi Qianhan. On the other hand, Shi Qianhan was extraordinarily powerful and his whereabouts were uncertain. Even the Xiao family could not capture him with all their might.
However, Ye Chen…
“Ye, as the saying goes, a common man’s only crime is to carry a jade. Your strength is insufficient, so possessing the netherworld token will only bring you the calamity of death.”
Xiang Heng sneered once again, “As long as you hand the netherworld token over to our Xiang family, we’ll allow you to join our family. At the same time, we can guarantee your safety!”
At the end of his sentence, he added with a threatening tone, “Don’t forget this. Since you killed Xiao Yang and the rest, even if we don’t do anything to you, the Xiao and Bai families will not let you off.”
As soon as he finished speaking, even Liu Qing could not refrain himself from saying, “Yeah, Brother Ye, why don’t you hand the netherworld token over to my Liu family? If you do that, the Xiao family will have to deal with my family if they want to make a move against you.”
From the beginning to the end, Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng did not say anything. It was as if they did not hear anything. However, both of their lips curled into a grin.
To them, the Liu family and the Xiang family had offered a high enough price. Ye Chen would not reject them if he was smart.
However, Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Since when do I need anyone to protect me for whatever I do in my life? I only believe in the sword in my hand!”
What he said completely rejected them.
Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng frowned when they heard that. They were slightly unhappy as they felt that Ye Chen was being ungrateful.
Tang Jianfeng broke out in cold sweat for Ye Chen.
‘Brother Ye, oh Brother Ye. I know you’re not weak, but you must know who’s in front of you right now.’
Among them, Xiang Nan was the No.1 person in the younger generation of the Xiang family, while Liu Yunfeng was the No.1 person in the younger generation of the Liu family. The strength of these two people could not be compared to Xiao Yang and the rest.
Anger flashed through Xiang Heng’s eyes. Just when he was about to flare up, a cold voice came from the door, “Ye Chen’s netherworld token is his. Are you guys going to fight for it?”
At the next moment, Luo Shuiyao and Tong Shuhui walked in quickly!
Luo Shuiyao glared at Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng angrily, “Brother Xiang Nan, Brother Yunfeng, Ye Chen is my friend. How could you bully him like that?”
Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng looked at each other and said helplessly, “Yaoyao, since when did I bully your friend? We were just being nice.”
“That’s great!”
Luo Shuiyao snorted coldly before glaring fiercely at Xiang Heng, “And you, Xiang Heng. Are you seeking trouble? Be careful, I might tell my brother that you’re bullying me.”
“No, no!”
Xiang Heng’s expression changed as he hurriedly shook his head.
The thought of that genius from the Luo family was too much!
Not only him, even the confident Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng were no exception!
“Alright, the meeting is in half an hour!”
Tong Shuhui interrupted everyone and fixed her gaze on Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng, “Yaoyao told me that this Mr. Ye also has a netherworld token and wants to board the ghost ship. Since he’s Yaoyao’s friend, we can’t be fighting for the netherworld token in his hands for the time being. Moreover, there’s only one piece. It’s not enough for both your families.”
“Then, what do you think we should do?” Liu Yunfeng frowned slightly.
Tong Shuhui said, “I received a call from the Xiao family earlier. Their intention is that during today’s exchange, each family will send a member to challenge each other. The wager is the netherworld token. The winner will take the other party’s netherworld token.”
“Would they be that kind?”
Tang Jianfeng smirked coldly, “There are four pieces added among the five ancient families, but we only have one. I think they’re only interested in the two netherworld tokens we have.”
Liu Qing nodded and said, “That’s right. If I remember correctly, the Duan family still doesn’t have the netherworld token, right? They’re obviously trying to take the netherworld token from Yaoyao so that the five ancient families can’t board the ghost ship.”
At the end of his sentence, he added, “Right now, all the powerhouses of the younger generation of the five ancient families have arrived. On our side, Big Brother Luo and Big Brother Tang have yet to arrive. If we agree, we will be at a disadvantage.”
“What do you think?” Tong Shuhui looked at Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng.
Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng looked at each other.
Xiang Nan stretched his neck and said lazily, “What else can we do? Of course we’re going to fight. We were just worried about not having the netherworld token. Since they’re willing to give us a chance, that’d be for the best.”
Liu Yunfeng looked at Luo Shuiyao, “The only problem is that the netherworld token on our side belongs to Yaoyao. I wonder if Yaoyao is willing?”
“Of course!”
Luo Shuiyao said without even thinking, “If you can’t bear to part with a child, you won’t be able to catch the wolf. Besides, if the four of you don’t have the netherworld token, only my Luo family will be able to board the ghost ship once it appears. We won’t be their match at all.”
“Right, don’t worry too much!”
Tong Shuhui seemed to have thought of something and continued, “Xiao Yuanjing, Bai Shaoyu, and the rest won’t be participating in this battle. On our side, Xiang Nan, Yunfeng, and I can’t participate!”
“In other words, when the time comes, Liu Qing and Xiang Heng will fight? Looks like they are quite confident,” the smile on Xiang Nan’s face grew even brighter.
“Yes!”
Tong Shuhui smiled too. She turned her head and said to Ye Chen, “Are you sure you want to attend this exchange with us?”
“Of course!” Ye Chen nodded lightly.
Tong Shuhui frowned and said, “Let me remind you. If you go this time, although the five great ancient families won’t directly make a move on you, they’ll definitely send someone to challenge you. Once you lose, the netherworld token in your hand will belong to them.”
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back and smiled lightly, “In other words, I can challenge them and take the netherworld token from them, right?”
