CHAPTER 680: CHAPTER 679 STRATEGY (3/5)

Taking the opportunity, Yang Chen stole a set of the guard’s clothes, then got some food from the kitchen and strode toward Yunxin Hall with a tray.

The patrol team saw Yang Chen and didn’t stop him at all, they just let him in directly.

It might have been because of Ye Xin, there were no guards at the door, and Yang Chen just pushed the door open and went in.

"Who let you in!" Ye Xin’s voice came from inside the hall.

Yang Chen smiled slightly and said calmly, "I came by myself."

"Husband!" Ye Xin pushed open the door from the inner room and exclaimed excitedly.

"Shh!" Yang Chen quickly said.

Ye Xin understood, excitedly ran up, holding Yang Chen, and said, "Husband, you’re back, I missed you so much!"

"Did you really miss me?" Yang Chen smiled and looked at Ye Xin.

"Mm!" Ye Xin nodded cutely and gave Yang Chen a peck on the lips.

"Have something to eat." Yang Chen smiled and said, "I made something for you."

"Okay!" Although Ye Xin had already had dinner, since Yang Chen made it, she had to eat it.

The two of them went inside, and Yang Chen watched Ye Xin eat quietly.

When Ye Xin finished eating, Yang Chen smiled and wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.

Ye Xin smiled sweetly, enjoying Yang Chen’s care.

The two gazed at each other affectionately for a while.

"I..."

"I..."

Both spoke at the same time.

Seeing that the other wanted to speak, they exchanged a smile and said in unison, "You go first."

They couldn’t help but laugh.

This reminded them of the day they first met when Ye Xin pulled Yang Chen out of Wei Xueqing’s office and sat in a café.

Ye Xin still remembers the conversation back then.

At that time, as Ye Xin looked at the sharp gleam in Yang Chen’s hawk-like eyes, she knew that this man was not simple. Together with Yang Chen’s medical skills, Ye Xin was very interested in Yang Chen, let alone the fact that she really came back to find Yang Chen back then.

Then, the two of them sat in the café and spoke at the same time.

"You..."

"You..."

Just like now, they spoke simultaneously.

"You go first!"

"You go first!"

Back then, Ye Xin found it amusing, as if the two of them were very much in sync.

"You ask first. I know more about the situation than you; I think you must have many questions for me."

"Do you know my parents?"

"Of course, Uncle Yang and Auntie have been very kind to me. Grandpa Yang especially likes me, otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged an engagement between us!"

...

Thinking of what they said back then made Ye Xin blush a little.

However, now Ye Xin still wanted to take the initiative and said to Yang Chen, "This time I’ll speak first, listen!"

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, "You speak."

Ye Xin smiled and said, "The Sect Master came to see me today."

Yang Chen nodded in response.

Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen curiously, puzzled, "Why aren’t you surprised at all?"

Yang Chen smiled and said to Ye Xin, "Go on, I’m listening."

Ye Xin looked at him suspiciously, took another look at Yang Chen, and continued, "Today the Sect Master and many elders came to see me, you saw, there are many more guards outside."

Nevertheless, this time Ye Xin spoke very cautiously, afraid that Yang Chen might suddenly say something.

Seeing Yang Chen remain unchanged, Ye Xin continued, "They said they wanted to elect me as the Saintess, saying the Saintess would have more power than the Sect Master!"

After saying that, Ye Xin reacted immediately, staring at Yang Chen, "Did you know about this long ago?"

"Silly girl!" Yang Chen reached out to rub Ye Xin’s head and said with a smile, "The Saintess election is, of course, announced to the sect members first; without their support, there’s no election. After all, the process has to be followed."

Ye Xin puffed out her little mouth and said, "So you knew already, I thought you didn’t, and I got so excited to tell you."

It’s undeniable that women in love seem to have zero IQ.

According to Ye Xin’s intelligence, she would surely know what would happen before and after if she just thought a little, and she would know that Yang Chen must have gotten the news too.

But Ye Xin, who was in love, just didn’t want to think, she just wanted to quickly tell Yang Chen the news and share it with him.

Yang Chen chuckled, stroking Ye Xin’s hair softly, "Silly girl, why do you believe everything now? The Shangqing Sect is currently under the control of the Sect Master, how could they transfer it to you, a new disciple, just like that? Besides, no one has ever talked about the existence of the Saintess before."

Ye Xin knew, but...

"But, I’m also worried. If we really confront them head-on, we might not be a match for them, in that case... I’m afraid you’ll get hurt. I don’t want to leave you again, I don’t want you to get hurt again either."

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

He knew that because he wasn’t strong enough, he hadn’t protected Ye Xin well, making her endure too much, too many grievances.

But Yang Chen vowed that from this day on, he would never let his woman endure such threats again! Never again!

Yang Chen held Ye Xin’s small hand firmly and said, "Honey, today I went to the Scripture Pavilion and found relevant information. It turns out the Saintess is indeed a hope for the sect’s revival. However, in order to control the Saintess, they use certain means to extract your soul, turning you into their puppet!"

"What!" Ye Xin’s face turned pale, looking at Yang Chen in shock.

Yang Chen nodded and said, "The records show that if one’s cultivation is not above the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can be completely controlled and merely be a sect-controlled puppet, just to give the disciples hope!"

Ye Xin’s pretty face was pale, and she couldn’t help but lower her head.

She had originally planned to become the Saintess, gain a voice, and use it to vie for some power with the Sect Master.

But now it seems like it’s all a joke, what power greater than the Sect Master, what better cultivation technique, it’s all just a trick to deceive her!

"Damn it!" Ye Xin clenched her tiny fists, furious.

Seeing Ye Xin’s angry look, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile slightly, saying to Ye Xin, "Don’t rush, I have a plan. If it succeeds, we might gain more opportunities and catch them completely off guard!"

"What?" Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen, looking at him with puzzlement.

Yang Chen smiled slightly, leaned over to Ye Xin’s ear, and whispered.

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Ye Xin was extremely surprised, "So you always..."

Yang Chen shook his head and whispered, "Don’t mind that, keep listening to me."

Ye Xin nodded her head, listening carefully to Yang Chen’s plan. Hearing the exciting parts, her beautiful eyes glowed with brilliance, exceptionally dazzling...

To be honest, she now somewhat admired Yang Chen, this plan could practically infuriate those stubborn old folks...
