CHAPTER 322: CHAPTER 322: LIN NUOYI AND YU NIAN’S FAREWELL TEARS

Bai Ye continued, "Only those below level 40 can enter. This Secret Realm is full of resources, and the number of entrants is limited. Each department can only send six people. If you join our Preparation Army, I can talk to the teacher to get you in. Brother Ye Chen, this opportunity is rare."

Ye Chen indeed felt somewhat tempted.

Ye Chen asked, "I have a question. Why have you all reached level 38, and your teacher has reached level 47?"

"That’s because we receive a large number of Experience Potions from above each month. Our teacher would be sent to a specific place and comes back a few levels higher each time."

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen felt even more astonished.

"Experience Potion? That place? Where do these things come from?"

Bai Ye shook his head, "I don’t know, these are arrangements from above. I asked our teacher, but he said it’s confidential and he’s not very clear either."

"Okay."

It seems Bai Ye is also not aware. He originally thought that Bai Ye, being in the Holy Guard Army, would know something.

"Brother Ye Chen, join us. If you have any questions, you can ask our teacher. He might know."

Ye Chen replied, "Can I think about this matter?"

Bai Ye and his companion exchanged a glance and said, "Alright, we’ll give Brother Ye Chen some time to think about it. Please give us an answer by tomorrow because the world is going to undergo a major change the day after."

"Okay, thank you both," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"You’re welcome. We’ll stay at the training camp for now. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!"

After seeing them off, Ye Chen went to where Yu Nian and the others were.

Zhu Qiang, Iron Bull, and the others had woken up, and the injuries of the few Vajra Apes had also healed.

They were sitting there waiting for Ye Chen.

Seeing Ye Chen return, Yu Nian and the others quickly came up, "Ye Chen, are you okay!"

"They didn’t do anything to you, right?"

"I’m fine, how about you guys?"

"We’re fine, Chen bro. Those two didn’t use heavy hands."

Ye Chen felt slightly relieved, "Good, as long as you’re fine."

The sky had turned completely dark as the six returned to the room.

Just after sitting down, Tang Qiu asked, "Ye Chen, what did they talk to you about?"

Ye Chen went over what the two of them had said to the five.

After hearing it, all five were astonished.

"What, the Holy Guard Army, Vanguard Army? How come there are so many departments! It seems the Law Enforcement Alliance is much more complicated than it looks!"

"What is this Secret Realm about?"

Ye Chen said, "The Secret Realm might be similar to the Hell Secret Realm but should be much larger, and the resources inside would be richer."

Iron Bull, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "So are you going to join them, Chen bro?"

Iron Bull’s tone was full of reluctance.

Ye Chen didn’t speak.

Although Ye Chen did not answer, they already had an answer in their hearts.

Yu Nian, as gentle as ever, said, "Ye Chen, go if you want to. We all support you and your choice."

Zhu Qiang seemed to have made a big decision and said, "Yeah, Chen bro, go if you want. Our strength is not bad now; we can take care of ourselves. Besides, we’ve always lived under your wings and can’t grow like this."

Iron Bull also nodded to Ye Chen, showing his support.

Looking at them, Ye Chen felt overwhelmed.

They’d been together for so long, experiencing life and death, supporting each other, and no matter what decisions Ye Chen made, they always supported him and never objected.

Ye Chen felt incredibly reluctant. At this moment, he felt he was very selfish.

But, there might be something he’s been searching for over there.

Yu Nian smiled gently, "Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of ourselves. You just go and rest assured, we’ll stay here, guard the Xing Chen Alliance, and wait for you to return!"

Ye Chen felt deeply moved, and tears unconsciously filled his eyes.

"Thank you!"

"Ye Chen, don’t you think it’s strange?" Lin Nuoyi suddenly asked.

"Hmm?"

Yu Nian continued, "How do they know that Pet Tamers above level 40 can’t enter, and how do they know about this Secret Realm? Don’t you find it all a bit too strange?"

Ye Chen nodded, "I understand what you’re saying, which is why I want to join them. Perhaps I can get the answers there."

"If that’s the case, then go, we all support you!"

"Chen bro, take care of yourself since you’re unfamiliar with people there! We’ll all be waiting for your return!" Iron Bull said as tears began to fall.

Zhu Qiang slapped Iron Bull on the head, scolding, "Why cry? It’s not like we’re saying goodbye forever. Why are you crying so much!"

Little did he know, Zhu Qiang’s eyes were also red.

...

At ten o’clock at night, Lin Nuoyi’s door was knocked on.

Lin Nuoyi got up and opened the door to find Yu Nian standing outside.

"Yu Nian sister, what’s wrong?"

Yu Nian looked at Lin Nuoyi’s red eyes and said, "Let’s sleep together tonight."

Lin Nuoyi nodded and let Yu Nian in.

The two lay in bed, wearing thin, silken pajamas.

"Nuoyi, have you been crying?" Yu Nian gently asked.

Lin Nuoyi nodded slightly, "Mm."

"You can’t bear to part with Ye Chen?"

"Mm, what about you? Can you let go?"

Yu Nian shook her head, "I can’t."

"If you can’t, why were you the first to support him and let him go?" Lin Nuoyi said somewhat discontentedly.

Yu Nian took Lin Nuoyi’s delicate hand, holding it in hers, and said, "Nuoyi, you have to understand one thing. Ye Chen is an exceptionally outstanding person; his world shouldn’t only involve us. The world is getting bigger; he can’t stay in the Aggregation District, Z City, by our side forever. He must have his things to do."

Yu Nian spoke sincerely and earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuoyi didn’t speak, tears slipping down her cheeks once more.

Lin Nuoyi choked and said, "Yu Nian sister, do you also like Ye Chen?"

Yu Nian did not deny it and generously admitted, "That’s right, I like Ye Chen too. It’s because I like him that I support him. Loving someone is not about possession, but fulfillment. Besides, it’s not like we won’t have the chance to meet again. He’s just going to another city, still in the Seventh Region, still in this world. We’ll meet again."

"I know what you’re saying, but Yu Nian sister, I’m afraid. I’m afraid Ye Chen will drift further and further from us. I’m afraid one day we’ll become strangers when we meet again."

"We won’t. We need to become stronger too, so we’ll have the right to stand by his side!" Yu Nian gently held Lin Nuoyi in her arms.
