"No need, Senior Sister, I'll buy it myself."
Ye Chen smiled at Tang Ya, but did not immediately agree.
"Wow, such a sunny boy! I must get him to join the Tang Sect!" Tang Ya's heart melted when she saw Ye Chen's smile, and she became even more determined to trick Ye Chen into joining the Tang Sect.
"Teacher Xiaoya, he is Ye Chen… he…" Huo Yuhao also saw Ye Chen, hesitated, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Can strength allow one to do whatever they want?!
Can strength allow him to steal his roommate?!
What he hated most was this kind of person who bullied the weak.
"Oh, Yuhao, you know Ye Chen? That's great! It's no problem to give him a few more roasted fish, right?"
Tang Ya was carefree and didn't notice Huo Yuhao's unusual behaviour at all. She snatched the two roasted fish Huo Yuhao had just finished grilling and walked towards Ye Chen.
Tang Ya went directly to Ye Chen, grabbed his hand without a word, gave him two roasted fish, and then pulled Ye Chen to the back.
"Hey, Senior Sister, what are you doing? I can buy it myself."
Ye Chen was a bit helpless but didn't resist, letting Tang Ya pull him.
The two came to an empty corner in the back. Tang Ya then turned her head and lightly glared at Ye Chen, feigning dissatisfaction: "If Senior Sister invites you, just eat it. Why are you acting so timid, a big man like you?"
"Then many thanks, Senior Sister~"
Ye Chen gave an awkward smile, then picked up a roasted fish and took a bite.
Hmm, the taste was alright, crispy and delicious.
But Ye Chen had eaten many delicacies in his previous life. This roasted fish was considered top-tier in this world, but for Ye Chen, it was only superior; it wasn't enough to make him addicted to it after one bite.
"How is it? This is roasted fish personally grilled by my junior brother Yuhao~" Tang Ya said with some pride.
"Hmm, it's delicious~" Ye Chen nodded in praise, then got straight to the point and asked directly: "Senior Sister, are you looking for me for something?"
"Oh~ Junior Brother, you're so smart~" Tang Ya's little scheme was exposed, but she wasn't annoyed; instead, she liked Ye Chen even more.
Then she didn't hide it and said seriously: "I want to invite Junior Brother to join the Tang Sect. What do you think, Junior Brother?"
"The Tang Sect, could it be the Tang Sect founded personally by Tang San ten thousand years ago?!"
Ye Chen asked, feigning shock.
"Heh heh~ It's that Tang Sect, and I, standing before you, am the current Tang Sect Leader — Tang Ya!"
"How about it? The Tang Sect Leader personally invites you to join. Don't you feel very honored~"
Tang Ya put her hands on her hips and smiled at Ye Chen.
"Uh, may I ask, how many people does the Tang Sect currently have?" Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then asked a fatal question.
Tang Ya: …
"Uh… well…"
Tang Ya immediately felt a bit awkward, her face red, stammering: "The Tang Sect has encountered some difficulties recently. Including me, there are only three people…"
"Then, after I join the Tang Sect, will my cultivation be considered the strongest in the Tang Sect?" Ye Chen continued to ask.
Tang Ya: …
"Hahahaha… That's for sure! Junior Brother's cultivation is powerful. As long as you join the Tang Sect, you will be the Tang Sect's top general. In the future, as long as you can revive the Tang Sect, you will definitely be the greatest contributor. In the future… no, as long as you join the Tang Sect, I will appoint you as the Tang Sect Vice Sect Leader! You can study all of the Tang Sect's unique skills!"
Tang Ya had also gone all out at this moment.
Ye Chen was simply too outstanding, and he seemed to have good character. She genuinely liked this junior brother.
Of course, the most important thing was his powerful strength; his cultivation was even more terrifying than Bei Bei's.
If he were to join the Tang Sect, the difficulty of reviving the Tang Sect in the future would definitely be greatly reduced!
Moreover, as the Tang Sect Leader, she also had some authority at Shrek. She learned from the Dean that Ye Chen was Yan Shaozhe's disciple.
A disciple valued by Dean Yan Shaozhe certainly wouldn't have bad character.
"Uh… let me think about it…"
Ye Chen was stunned, always feeling that Tang Ya was the leader of some strange organization.
It was like someone from his previous life telling him: I am Qin Shihuang, my billions of wealth are buried underground. As long as you give me 10,000 yuan to help me dig up the treasure, I can restore my kingdom. At that time, I will give you the position of Eastern Depot Director, and by the way, give you a few tons of gold and silver jewellery, granting you wealth and glory…
In a word, not even a dog would believe it.
"Okay, I agree."
Ye Chen made up his mind and decisively agreed.
That being said, disbelief is one thing, but getting a free faction is not bad, especially since the Tang Sect is quite famous.
In the future, he would have the opportunity to bring Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Wang Dong all into the Tang Sect.
Hmm, establish a new rule—the Tang Sect does not accept male disciples.
Then find an opportunity to kick out the useless Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao.
This way, the Tang Sect would belong to him, becoming his private garden…
Hehehe…
"Ah, Junior Brother, you agreed?!"
Tang Ya heard this and looked at Ye Chen with a bewildered expression.
She herself felt that what she had just said was a bit absurd, something even a dog wouldn't believe.
She was just trying, and had even planned to use other methods to trick Ye Chen.
But she never expected that Ye Chen would actually agree directly…?
This person, could he have a problem with his brain?
Tang Ya looked at Ye Chen suspiciously, wondering if she had misjudged him.
"Of course, I have admired Tang Sect Leader Tang San for a long time. I grew up listening to his legends. It is my honour to be able to join the Tang Sect~" Ye Chen said with a serious expression.
"Ah, so that's it! That's great!"
Tang Ya heard this, patted her chest, and felt relieved.
She had thought Ye Chen was really tricked by her, but it turned out he had admired the Tang Sect for a long time, so there was no problem~
She let Huo Yuhao join the Tang Sect purely because she was craving food, so even if Huo Yuhao seemed a bit dull and was a good-for-nothing, she didn't care, as long as he could grill fish.
But inviting Ye Chen to join the Tang Sect was genuinely to ask Ye Chen to help "restore the Tang Sect's glory." She couldn't recruit an idiot.
Moreover, she even offered the precious position of Vice Sect Leader Ye Chen.
This was a treatment that even Bei Bei didn't have.
Ye Chen was simply too outstanding. If she didn't offer him a position to win him over, it would be bad if he left.
"Alright, from now on, you are officially the Tang Sect Vice Sect Leader~"
Tang Ya chuckled, then flipped her small hand, took out a stack of secret manuals from her Soul Guidance Device, and shoved them all to Ye Chen, saying: "These are the Mystic Heaven Skill and Tang Sect secret techniques. As the Vice Sect Leader, you are qualified to cultivate all the secret techniques and hidden weapons. Practice them well. With your talent, you will definitely be able to cultivate these secret techniques to the highest realm!"
Tang Ya's tone was filled with strong anticipation.
Although Tang Sect secret techniques were good, they were extremely difficult to cultivate. Even with Bei Bei's talent, after cultivating for so long, he had only just passed the introductory stage.
And hidden weapons were even harder.
Bei Bei couldn't do it, and she certainly couldn't either.
However, she felt that with Ye Chen's talent, he might truly be able to create a miracle.
Restoring the Tang Sect's glory could be put aside for now.
At least let the Tang Sect's cultivation methods and secret techniques regain their brilliance first; only then could they attract more people to join.
