CHAPTER 461: CHAPTER 460: INITIATIVE (1/3)

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Master Ye didn’t know what to feel in his heart.

He could see that Ye Xin and Yang Chen were deeply in love.

But alas... they couldn’t defy fate!

Master Ye couldn’t help but sigh.

Yang Chen asked Master Ye to take good care of himself; he needed to research with Yang Cao a bit more about the treatment method, as this kind of phenomenon is rare, hard to find cases of, and had no prior experience from predecessors.

Leaving the study room, Yang Chen let Dongzi and Yang Cao leave first.

After the two left, Yang Chen and Ye Xin naturally left together.

Ye Xin took the lead and arrived at her study.

Chen Siyan and Wei Xueqing had gone out to have fun and weren’t home.

Upon entering Ye Xin’s boudoir, Yang Chen couldn’t help but look around.

The pink-themed decor showed that Ye Xin had a bright and youthful heart. In the room, there were even some Sailor Moon stickers, obviously indicating she was a fan of the show.

"Do what you need to!" Ye Xin handed Yang Chen a cup of coffee, then seriously looked at him and said, "Darling, can you tell me what’s really going on?"

Yang Chen hesitated for a while and said to Ye Xin, "Some things, even if you know them, you can’t change anything."

He didn’t want to add to Ye Xin’s burden.

"But I want to know!" Ye Xin stared at Yang Chen.

Seeing her grandfather like this, Ye Xin had to know what was really going on.

She felt deeply guilty; although she had always arranged for people to keep track of the Ye family’s activities, she hadn’t discovered that her grandfather had been poisoned!

Thinking of those wriggling worms, Ye Xin couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin and at the determination flashing in her beautiful eyes, and sighed.

He realized that he couldn’t avoid telling Ye Xin.

"Alright then!" Yang Chen said helplessly, "I think we should openly discuss this without hiding anything."

At this moment, Yang Chen was already very clear about his feelings.

He also understood that although Ye Xin was the legendary Fire Phoenix, she wasn’t there to investigate him.

Ye Xin nodded.

"You are the legendary Fire Phoenix, aren’t you?" Yang Chen asked, staring at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin’s eyes widened and stared at Yang Chen in disbelief.

"How... how did you find out about my identity?" Ye Xin was very surprised; her identity was absolutely secret, and very few knew it. How did Yang Chen find out?

Even though he was a coach for the Dragon Tooth Squad, he had no connection with her department and couldn’t possibly have investigated it!

Yang Chen chuckled lightly, "Don’t worry, I couldn’t investigate Fire Phoenix’s information; it was Elder Ye who told me."

"Grandfather told you?" Ye Xin was even more surprised, "Why did he tell you these things?"

She felt that Elder Ye didn’t need to reveal these things to Yang Chen.

"I don’t know either." Yang Chen shrugged, "Maybe it’s to make me give up."

Ye Xin also felt helpless, and softly said to Yang Chen, "Alright, all my secrets have been exposed to you."

Yang Chen shook his head slightly and stared at Ye Xin, "Really?"

Seeing Yang Chen’s expression, Ye Xin frowned slightly, "What else?"

"For example... your sect." Yang Chen said.

Ye Xin furrowed her brows even further and asked Yang Chen, "Why are you asking about this?"

Yang Chen stared at Ye Xin and said, "If I told you that your grandfather should have passed away eighteen years ago, what would you think?"

Ye Xin was stunned upon hearing this and immediately shook her head, "No! That’s impossible!"

She didn’t believe it; when a person is supposed to die, they will die, no one can defy the heavens, not even Zhuge Liang could borrow life from the sky. If she were to comment on her grandfather, Ye Xin would only use the words ’mere warrior’ to describe him. Because Elder Ye wasn’t that learned or deeply knowledgeable about strategies earlier on, he just gradually rose through ranks due to his instinct for battle.

Though he had been reading and studying since liberation, Ye Xin felt her grandfather still couldn’t achieve that.

Yang Chen said, "But that’s the truth."

Ye Xin stared at Yang Chen, her brows tightly knitted.

Yang Chen continued, "The reason your grandfather could prolong his life probably had something to do with the worms inside him."

Ye Xin, being very smart, immediately thought of something and stared at Yang Chen, "Are you saying this has something to do with my sect?"

Yang Chen nodded slightly and said to Ye Xin, "I think now you should tell me what kind of place this is."

Ye Xin’s face showed hesitation.

Though she hadn’t stayed there for years, she knew the horrors of that place very well.

It’s not that she didn’t want to say, but she couldn’t.

Some things are better left unknown.

Ye Xin gently shook her head and then looked down and said, "I... can you not ask for now? When I’m ready to tell you, I will do so naturally!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh, walked over to Ye Xin, and rubbed her head, "Silly girl, what are you afraid of? No matter what happens, no matter what difficulties arise, no matter what strong enemies we face, I will be there, I will stand by your side to protect you and fight alongside you. So you don’t have to be afraid of anything, even if the sky falls, I will hold it up for you!"

Hearing Yang Chen’s strong words, Ye Xin’s heart fluttered, and she looked up at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen also looked at Ye Xin softly, and they gazed at each other with deep affection.

Ye Xin felt her heart pounding heavily.

"Thank you!" Ye Xin whispered.

"Silly girl." Yang Chen extended his hand, cupped Ye Xin’s little face, and softly said, "You are my wife; no matter what I do for you, you don’t need to say those words to me."

Upon hearing this, a mist of emotion filled Ye Xin’s eyes.

Thinking for a moment, Ye Xin closed her eyes.

Seeing Ye Xin close her eyes, Yang Chen was momentarily taken aback.

Soon, Yang Chen understood Ye Xin’s intention.

Ye Xin was suggesting he kiss her!

Yang Chen was a bit excited, his heart beat uncontrollably fast.

He took a deep breath, preparing to kiss Ye Xin.

At that moment, Ye Xin opened her eyes again.

She had closed her eyes and waited for quite a while but didn’t feel Yang Chen’s kiss. She opened her eyes to see Yang Chen looking tense.

Seeing Yang Chen’s expression, Ye Xin couldn’t help but giggle, then leaned forward and kissed Yang Chen’s lips.

"Mmph!" Yang Chen felt a fragrance assault him, and his eyes opened wide, full of surprise.

He... was kissed by surprise!

This... was too forward, wasn’t it?

Yang Chen was momentarily at a loss, letting Ye Xin take the initiative to kiss him.
