Chapter 145 - Continue to Bluff

When he thought of how they couldn’t reach the branch recently, could it be that the branch was really wiped out by this Jinghong Fairy, Long Piaoying?

Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He exchanged looks, and believed much of what Ye Haochuan said.

However, Junior Sister He, who was meticulous, suddenly expressed doubt, “That’s not right.

Since you’ve just joined the branch, and no one else could escape, even the main and deputy leaders met their demise, how did you escape alone?”

Senior Brother Zhou also said, “Exactly, if you really belong to Hellfire, why would you kill our Junior Brother Fang?

Don’t you know the rules of our sect prohibit fratricide?”

Junior Sister He then added fiercely, “You really have a glib tongue, I and Senior Brother Zhou almost fell for your lies.

Hmph, before we came to Haishan City, we had already received orders from above to specifically come to kill you.

And now you’re telling us you’re one of us in Hellfire, which is absolutely ridiculous.”

Damn, these two are really not easy to fool!

Ye Haochuan frowned deeply, damn it, if I don’t fool you two to death today, then you’ll abide by me.

Thinking this, Ye Haochuan laughed loudly, sometimes bending forward and back, other times shaking his head, his exaggerated expressions and movements making Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He bewildered, wondering if this fellow was having a stroke.

After a while, Ye Haochuan suddenly straightened his face, and huffed, “Alas, to think you’ve been in the branch for so long and you’re still insignificant characters.

Haven’t you ever heard a saying?

In today’s Martial Arts Path Realm, what’s the most important?”

At this, he deliberately piqued their curiosity.

“What’s the most important?” Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He, unaware of his diversion tactic, naturally fell for it and asked simultaneously.

“Talent!” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

My god!

Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He were speechless, Talent, you dare to call yourself that unashamedly?

What thick-skinned audacity!

Regardless of their expressions, Ye Haochuan continued with a flirtatious smile, “That Junior Brother Fang of yours lived for half a lifetime but still hadn’t stepped into the Early Stage of the Postnatal Realm, such a waste, tell me, does our sect value him or value me more?”

Junior Sister He, indignant, said, “Even so, you shouldn’t have killed him.

Aren’t you afraid of the sect’s severe punishments?”

“Please, are all you women really brainless?” Ye Haochuan said, glancing at Junior Sister He’s figure, “And yours…

isn’t that big either!

Sigh, they even look a bit droopy, quite unappetizing…”

“You…”

Provoked by such teasing, Junior Sister He was so angry that her face turned bright red; she was just about to strike and kill him when Senior Brother Zhou intervened.

“Junior Sister He, calm down.”

Senior Brother Zhou gave her a look and whispered, “If this lad really has some connection with Vice Cult Leader Wei, we might face severe consequences if we kill him, let’s first clear up the situation further.”

Seeing this, Ye Haochuan almost laughed his heart out, even more unscrupulously saying, “Let me tell you, the main reason I had to kill that Fang Ba was that he was tormenting me and tried to kill me while I hadn’t yet entered the Early Stage of the Postnatal Realm.

If I didn’t resist, was I supposed to let him slaughter me?”

After pondering for a moment, Senior Brother Zhou asked, “Given your age, compared to Fang Ba who is of the same realm, you definitely aren’t his match, how could you possibly have killed him?”

Seeing that the couple really did follow him into the alley, Ye Haochuan found it even more amusing.

He continued to bluff, “That’s why I said, Fang Ba is useless.

Despite being in a dire situation, and nearly losing my life to him, a miraculous breakthrough happened.

I grasped the true essence of the Postnatal Realm and broke through to the Postnatal Early Stage.

With that, how could Fang Ba be a match for me?”

Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He were stunned initially, but after thinking it over, it didn’t seem unreasonable.

In the Martial Arts Path, precedence does not dictate superiority, as countless examples of latecomers surpassing their predecessors prove; it all comes down to one’s ‘realization,’ which has nothing to do with age or experience.

“And because of this, when I encountered Vice Cult Leader Wei yesterday…”

While Ye Haochuan was speaking, Senior Brother Zhou suddenly interrupted, “What?

You said you encountered Vice Cult Leader Wei?”

“Yes!”

Ye Haochuan’s eyes shifted as he said, “Yesterday, a girl from Haishan University named Lin Qingxuan suddenly fell ill with a strange disease.

My ancestors were healers, and I know a bit about it too.

I discovered someone had tampered with Lin Qingxuan, and then I chased after them, and the result…”

Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He were already well aware of Ye Haochuan’s identity as a school doctor at Haishan University, and they trusted him without doubt.

However, his pause made them both eager to hear more, and they promptly asked, “What happened then?”

“Then, I discovered that the main culprits were Boss Wu and his people.

I ended up fighting them, but being outmatched and outnumbered, I was on the brink of death.

That’s when Vice Cult Leader Wei appeared and saved me.”

Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He nodded repeatedly.

They were, of course, also familiar with Boss Wu, who was responsible for seeking the Furnace Cauldrons needed by the sect.

Thus it seemed the young man hadn’t spoken wrongly, so they continued to listen.

“After seeing Vice Cult Leader Wei, I spoke of my feud with Fang Ba.

He even said to me that Fang Ba was worthless, better off dead.

Then, seeing my bright talent and exceptional bones, he taught me a bit of his skills and even promised to refer me to join Hellfire.

Just never expected that right after we arrived at the sect, Jinghong Fairy came attacking.

Luckily, I pretended to be dead and escaped the ordeal.”

As he talked fluently without the slightest pause, Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He grew even more convinced.

As for the death of Junior Brother Fang, they were not really concerned about it; they were just following orders after all.

Seeing that he had won the initial trust of the two, Ye Haochuan continued to drop more bombshells, laughing, “Do you know why, before I saw you, I already knew your details?

Let me tell you, that was also what Vice Cult Leader Wei told me before he died.”

Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He were both startled.

“Because Vice Cult Leader Wei knew you were ordered to kill me, to prevent us from fighting each other, he told me about your situation beforehand.

Unfortunately, Vice Cult Leader Wei was critically injured, and before he could reveal more information about you, he died.”

Speaking of this, Ye Haochuan put on a sorrowful expression.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister He had no more doubts.

Because when they first saw Ye Haochuan, before they could even confront him properly, he had already discovered them.

They absolutely did not believe it was due to his clairvoyance; it must have been the true message from Vice Cult Leader Wei.

In fact, there were many inconsistencies in Ye Haochuan’s words.

If the two had thought about it more seriously, they could have seen through the flaws, but Ye Haochuan, inheriting the memory of Holy Hand, had a masterful grasp on human nature.

The next move he made not only dispelled their doubts completely but also deceived them into beaming smiles, and any previous grievances were forgotten.
