"Ye Chen, you said you came from a medical family. Is your medical skill very impressive?"
"I heard that some medical families with heritage are even more powerful than Spirit Saint-level healing Soul Masters~"
When Tang Ya heard about Ye Chen's background, her admiration for him grew.
"Hehe, I just know a bit of acupuncture. If there's an opportunity in the future, I can help Sister Xiao Ya clear her meridians, invigorate her circulation, and maintain her health~" Ye Chen said, feigning humility.
"Okay, but you have to be gentle, okay? I'm still very afraid of pain~" Tang Ya smiled sweetly, half-jokingly.
"Don't worry, it definitely won't hurt~" Ye Chen smiled slightly, then pretended to ask curiously: "Then Sister Xiao Ya, what do your family members do? Are they not from the Tang Sect?"
The moment Ye Chen asked this, Tang Ya's smile instantly faded. She seemed to have thought of something sad, and her eyes reddened.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Ya. I didn't know… I'm sorry for bringing up your sad memories…"
Ye Chen quickly apologized.
He just wanted to use this topic to deepen his relationship with Tang Ya, but he didn't expect Tang Ya to cry directly…
How could they continue talking now?
"It's okay, actually, you should know about this…"
"The Tang Sect has actually been destroyed, annihilated by a second-rate sect called 'Iron Blood Sect'…"
Tang Ya wiped away her tears but still recounted the grievances between the Tang Sect and the Iron Blood Sect.
In truth, rebuilding the Tang Sect's glory was secondary; revenge was the main goal.
But to seek revenge, she first had to make the Tang Sect strong again.
This was the main reason she was so eager to bring Ye Chen into the Tang Sect.
Although Bei Bei had promised her to help her get revenge.
But even though Bei Bei was powerful, it would take who knows how many years for him to grow strong enough to help her seek revenge…
Sometimes she even suspected that Bei Bei was deliberately stringing her along.
Therefore, the Tang Sect desperately needed a disciple with great strength and incredible talent at this moment, and Ye Chen could be said to perfectly fit the bill.
Moreover, Ye Chen's appearance also far surpassed Bei Bei's, allowing him to become a benchmark for the Tang Sect. In the future, he might attract many talented female disciples to join…
"Sister Xiao Ya, my condolences…"
Ye Chen instinctively put his arm around Tang Ya's shoulder, gently comforting her.
It wasn't that he was deliberately faking it; rather, as a transmigrator, he knew everything but couldn't say it out loud.
Such secrets had to be revealed by Tang Ya herself for him to "know" them; otherwise, it would arouse Tang Ya's suspicion.
Moreover, letting Tang Ya speak for herself and then comforting her would allow him to take advantage of her vulnerability…
After all, Bei Bei had done the same thing back then.
Perhaps Mu En's schemes were also involved…
It was just that Bei Bei hadn't learned Mu En's ruthlessness and cunning.
Although Bei Bei liked Tang Ya, he couldn't bring himself to ask for his family's help to avenge Tang Ya, so he kept procrastinating, which led to Tang Ya's quiet dissatisfaction.
…
However, Ye Chen felt he still needed to be careful about one thing: Tang Ya and Bei Bei were, after all, in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. If Tang Ya initiated things, it would be fine…
But if Mu En discovered that he was seducing Tang Ya, or found out he had intentions of monopolizing the Tang Sect, Ye Chen felt that Mu En would not hesitate to kill him.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately felt a little guilty.
The only good news was that Mu En didn't have many years left to live; it wouldn't be too late to take down Tang Ya after Mu En kicked the bucket…
Anyway, Ye Chen definitely wouldn't develop romantic feelings with Tang Ya right now; at most, it would be friendship, deep friendship.
After Mu En's sudden death, Ye Chen would then let the friendship turn into something else…
However, while Ye Chen was thinking of retreating, Tang Ya had already leaned into his embrace…
"It's okay, it's all in the past. I'm already very happy that you can help me rebuild the Tang Sect~" Tang Ya forced a smile, but her eyes were still red.
"Rebuilding the Tang Sect is too slow. I think the top priority is to help you get revenge first." Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
"Ah?"
Tang Ya was slightly stunned, not expecting Ye Chen to say that.
"Sister Xiao Ya, I'm a very petty person. That Iron Blood Sect dared to bully my Sister Xiao Ya. I think they are already courting death. I must avenge this!"
"Moreover, I am now the Vice Sect Leader Ye Chen of the Tang Sect. The revenge for the sect's destruction is naturally an irreconcilable enmity!"
Ye Chen said with an angry expression!
It seemed as if it wasn't Tang Ya's parents who died, but his own.
Tang Ya saw Ye Chen's concerned attitude towards her, and boundless emotion instantly surged in her heart.
Especially when compared to Bei Bei's perfunctory attitude…
Whenever she mentioned this matter, Bei Bei would casually brush it off, saying things like rebuilding the Tang Sect's glory first, or waiting for him to grow up and plan for the long term…
Then he would try to find ways to take her out to have fun, wanting her to forget about it.
Bei Bei actually didn't understand what she wanted.
How could the hatred for a destroyed sect and murdered family be forgotten just like that?
Bei Bei was born into a top-tier family, never lacking anything since childhood, and it was said he even had an older sister taking care of him personally…
He naturally hadn't suffered such hardships, nor had he experienced the pain of losing loved ones.
On the other hand, Ye Chen could see through her thoughts, knew her true vulnerabilities, and constantly comforted her.
This was what moved her.
"Ye Chen, let's reconsider this. The Iron Blood Sect is still very powerful; you definitely aren't their match…"
"Moreover, the Iron Blood Sect is located in Heaven Dou City, and as Shrek students, it's inconvenient for us to act…" Tang Ya whispered, trying to persuade him.
Bei Bei usually used this excuse to put her off.
If one wanted to destroy a sect within Heaven Dou City, the Heaven Dou City guards would definitely intervene.
The reason the Iron Blood Sect dared to ambush the Tang Sect was because they paid a huge price to bribe the city guards.
If she wanted revenge, it definitely wouldn't be that easy; the city guards would surely obstruct her.
Although she was very touched, precisely because of this, she was unwilling to let Ye Chen take risks.
"If there's a grudge, just get revenge. Directly hire assassins to kill the core members of the Iron Blood Sect. Why make it so complicated?"
"As for identity issues, just deny it to death. Everyone's dead, who would want to go all out against Shrek?"
Ye Chen snorted.
"Hmm… Wouldn't that be too much…"
Tang Ya instinctively tugged at the corner of her clothes, feeling that this was too violent.
At the same time, she secretly glanced at Ye Chen out of the corner of her eye. Looking at Ye Chen's serious and angry profile, she found him extraordinarily domineering and pleasing, making her genuinely like him…
If only Bei Bei had even a tenth of Ye Chen's domineering presence and courage, she wouldn't have felt so miserable.
It was a pity that Bei Bei only cared about Shrek's honour, fearing that he would bring even a little loss to Shrek. Every time she mentioned this matter, Bei Bei would just brush it off perfunctorily.
Bei Bei simply didn't know what she wanted!
"Sister Xiao Ya, don't worry, leave the revenge to me. Before the new student assessment, I will definitely destroy the Iron Blood Sect. At that time, I will let Sister Xiao Ya personally avenge your enemies!" Ye Chen said with a serious expression, and then gently reached out, caressing Tang Ya's cheek, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Thank you… Ye Chen…"
Tang Ya's eyes flickered, and her gaze towards Ye Chen was filled with gratitude.
"You're welcome, who told you to be my Tang Sect Leader~" Ye Chen also turned, meeting Tang Ya's gaze, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable emotion.
The two drew closer and closer…
