"I'm going with her?" Ye Chen had a strange expression on his face.
It wasn't that he had a problem with the girl, but he felt that it wasn't appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together.
Before Ye Chen could say anything, the Grand Elder said happily, "Ye Chen, this girl's cultivation level is far higher than yours, and her strength is astonishing. You can ask her about cultivation along the way."
Judging from the Grand Elder's expression, this matter had already been decided.
Furthermore, the Grand Elder's intention was for Ye Chen's sake.
Muttering to himself, Ye Chen finally nodded and said, "I'll follow the Grand Elder's arrangements."
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, the veiled girl said coldly, "In that case, we'll set off immediately."
"Miss Qing, there's no need to be in such a hurry."
The Grand Elder was surprised. He hadn't expected the veiled girl to leave the Sacred Institute so soon.
The veiled girl said expressionlessly, "I'm in a hurry and don't have much time to waste. Besides, I don't think Young Master Ye Chen needs to prepare anything."
"What do you mean set off? I really don't care."
Ye Chen nodded. He was already getting impatient from waiting here. Of course, it would be better to leave right away.
Seeing this, the Grand Elder smiled bitterly and didn't stop Ye Chen and the girl. He said, "In that case, I can only tell you to have a safe journey."
"Let's go."
The veiled woman raised her chin and walked out directly. She didn't even say much. She seemed very straightforward.
Ye Chen had no choice but to follow.
The veiled girl was extremely fast. After leaving the Wind and Cloud Hall, she turned into a blur and rushed toward the exit of the Sacred Institute.
Ye Chen could feel a cold aura coming from the girl, as if she was hostile to him.
"Strange, very strange," Ye Chen muttered to himself, but he didn't stop and followed the girl closely.
The two of them rushed out of the prefectural city of the Sage Monarch Commandery.
"Miss, have we met before?"
Outside of the Sage Monarch Commandery, Ye Chen and the veiled woman were the only ones left. Ye Chen couldn't hold back any longer.
The veiled woman's footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned around and stared at Ye Chen. A cold light shot out from her eyes.
Staring coldly at Ye Chen, the veiled woman snorted and said, "It seems that your memory is not bad. We did meet not long ago. What did you promise me when we were outside Yuanshi Sect?
What's wrong with you cultivating in the Yuanshi Sect as He Song? Why did you leave the Yuanshi Sect so quickly and cause so much trouble? "
Ye Chen did not get angry after being scolded. Instead, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.
"It's you?"
Staring at the veiled woman, Ye Chen finally realized that her aura was exactly the same as that of the woman who had attacked him outside Yuanshi Sect.
Back then, Ye Chen had guessed that this woman was most likely sent by Murong Xue. Therefore, he had spent a lot of effort trying to find her, but to no avail.
In fact, Ye Chen had even decided to give up looking for her. But now, she had appeared again.
"Who are you?
Was it Xue 'er who asked you to come find me? "Ye Chen's eyes revealed a hint of excitement as he asked.
If this woman was really related to Murong Xue, then Ye Chen could learn more about Murong Xue's current situation from her.
"Xue 'er, you'd better not call me by that name in the future."
The veiled woman frowned and coldly said, "Let me introduce you. The Xue 'er you're talking about should be my family's young miss. I came to find you on her orders, but that doesn't mean you have the qualifications to approach her."
From the veiled woman's words, Ye Chen finally confirmed that she was indeed sent by Murong Xue.
But the veiled woman's tone made Ye Chen frown involuntarily, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Miss, what do you mean?" Ye Chen frowned and stood still for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
The veiled woman's expression didn't change as she said, "Of course it's the meaning behind my words. With your status and strength, you are far from being worthy of my Young Miss. So I advise you not to have any wishful thinking in the future. Forget about Young Miss.
These words may hurt you, but they are the truth. If you don't recognize the truth, you will lose your life sooner or later. "
"Miss, did Xue 'er ask you to tell me the truth?" Ye Chen's face was quite ugly, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart.
The veiled woman's words were a direct warning to Ye Chen, asking him to stay away from Murong Xue in the future. Ye Chen would never believe that this kind of thing was arranged by Murong Xue.
The veiled woman shook her head and said, "No. My lady asked me to come to you to provide as much as possible to help you with your cultivation. But I can't stand by and do nothing about my lady's affairs. It's not convenient for my lady to say these words, so I just said it for her."
"So it's just her own idea."
Ye Chen grinned and said, "It's between Xue 'er and me. You don't need to worry about an outsider like you."
Ye Chen deliberately emphasized the word "outsider". The reproach in his tone was very obvious.
Ye Chen was really angry now. This veiled woman may have a close relationship with Murong Xue, but she certainly didn't know what had happened between Ye Chen and Murong Xue.
In this case, this woman rashly interfered and wanted to forcibly separate Ye Chen and Murong Xue. This kind of thing, no one would be able to tolerate.
Seeing Ye Chen being so stubborn, the veiled woman's tone began to become a little impatient, "Ye Chen, don't be reckless. My lady's status is noble. She's definitely not someone you can touch at will. I can tell you directly, if you really want to find my lady, before you see her, someone will definitely stand up and kill you."
"Say no more."
Ye Chen said firmly, "The love between me and Xue 'er is stronger than gold. How can we be separated just because of these things? So you don't need to say such things in the future."
What a joke, Ye Chen and Murong Xue had once sworn an oath of eternal love. How could Ye Chen completely abandon it just because of a few words of the veiled woman?
Ye Chen believed that not only him, but also Murong Xue at this moment would certainly not choose to abandon this relationship.
"Since you are so stubborn, then I'd like to see what ability you have to climb up my lady's social status." The veiled woman snorted coldly. Suddenly, a powerful force of law burst out from her body.
A small dagger made of jasper appeared in the veiled woman's hand. She waved it a few times in the air. This small dagger immediately released a sharp sword intent and cut towards Ye Chen.
Blood Aperture Palm!
The veiled woman suddenly attacked and caught Ye Chen off guard.
