Chapter 168 - 168 163 Toilet Taoist Priest

?Chapter 168: Chapter 163: Toilet Taoist Priest Chapter 168: Chapter 163: Toilet Taoist Priest Wei Sisan had woken up and glanced around. Only then did he realize that he was in a cave. He confirmed that he was alive by asking, “Where is this?”

A disciple who ran over to him answered, “Inside a cave.”

“How long have I been sleeping?”

“Two days and two nights.”

“I’ve been asleep for that long already.” Wei Sisan asked, “How are things outside?”

A disciple said, “Hmm, because of the men in black, we didn’t dare to go back immediately fearing they would discover that the Sect Leader is still alive. So, we’ve stayed in the cave for two days. Everyone outside thinks we were burnt to death in the Feng Niang Inn.”

“Master, it’s good that you’re awake.” A disciple started to cry.

“Everyone outside believes we were burned to death in the Feng Niang Inn!”

Leaning against the rocky wall to make himself more comfortable, Wei Sisan asked, “Everyone outside believes we were burned to death in the Feng Niang Inn?”

“Yes, they found out we escaped to the Feng Niang Inn, and the men in black chased us there. They set the Feng Niang Inn on fire afterwards. However, the Feng Niang Inn had a secret tunnel, and we escaped from the Feng Niang Inn through it. For these two days, we have been hiding out in this mountain cave.”

“Does everyone outside believe we’re dead?”

“Yes, we still dare not go back and are waiting for you to wake up first. We’re afraid of running into the men in black again.”

Ye Chen and Feng Niang walked in from outside.

Several fires were lit inside the cave, illuminating the faces of everyone.

Wei Sisan also saw Feng Niang. He gave a slight nod, acknowledging her presence. Wei Sisan coughed once, very courteously and said, “Thank you for saving me.”

“No need to thank me; thank Ye Chen. He’s the one who brought you here and saved you.”

“Yes, I should thank your husband.” However, Wei Sisan was not fooled.

After glancing at Feng Niang, Ye Chen laughed awkwardly, and Feng Niang didn’t bother explaining either.

“I must return to Tianle City,” Wei Sisan said.

Feng Niang said, “It’s already dark outside; if you want to go back, you can only wait to do so tomorrow.”

“The people of New City still don’t know I’m alive; I have to tell them.”

“Don’t be so eager to tell them. We still don’t know who’s friend and who’s foe! If you inadvertently attract the men in black again, it might be better if everyone believes you’re dead – that seems safest. Tomorrow, we can disguise ourselves as merchants. Whether you decide to return to Tianle City or Wasteland City, wait another night.”

Wei Sisan nodded and said, “The Feng Niang Inn was burnt.”

“It was just an inn. If it got burnt down, so be it. I had grown tired of staying there for so many years and wanted a change of scenery. None of these matters now; what’s an inn more or less?”

“I’ll reimburse you for it when the time comes.”

But Feng Niang responded, “No need, I’ve been an innkeeper for over a dozen years; I’m tired and would like to travel around.” Since her last parting with Wei Sisan and opening the Feng Niang Inn, a lot had changed. Perhaps it was due to the influence of Ye Chen’s recent comments, or perhaps it was because Wei Sisan’s illness had worsened, and he didn’t expect to live much longer, but she had begun to see things more clearly. It was time to let go. It had been over a decade.

“Are you doing well?” He asked with concern.

Feng Niang replied dismissively, “I’m fine. Take good care of your master, and get someone to change his dressing shortly.” Then she left, not wanting to say much to him.

Ye Chen also greeted Wei Sisan.

Wei Sisan said, “Thank you, young man.”

“No problem, we’re friends. I’m happy to help when I can. You should thank my wife instead.”

Feng Niang had reached the entrance of the cave and heard this; she laughed awkwardly and glanced back at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen squinted at Feng Niang, a proud look on his face.

Wei Sisan asked, “By the way, where are Zheng Yibai and the others?”

Ye Chen said, “That night, in order to rescue you, and because we couldn’t shake off the men in black, he used himself as bait to lure the pursuers away. Unfortunately, he was killed by the men in black.”

“What?” Wei Sisan slammed a hefty punch into the rocky wall.

Wei Sisan then asked, “Did Xiao Bai send anyone out?”

“He thinks we’re all dead. I really don’t know whether he’s a good or a bad guy. They came to the ruins of the Feng Niang Inn to collect the bodies, and I decided not to tell them until you woke up,” Ye Chen said.

Wei Sisan nodded and said, “Hmm, you did well.”

Ye Chen continued, “There should still be some disciples alive, but, at the moment, I don’t think there’s a need to find them. The fewer people who know about your existence, the safer it is.”

Wei Sisan sighed deeply. From a group of over 300, only a few were left.

“Eat something and rest well. Tomorrow morning, we’ll take you back,” Ye Chen said as he left the cave.

Feng Niang sat quietly on a rock, staring into the distance. Ye Chen glanced at her; she looked very calm.

Ye Chen asked, “Your inn has been burned down, and you really don’t intend to open another one?”

“No more inns,” responded Feng Niang.

“What about those people?” Ye Chen glanced at the helpers who followed Feng Niang.

“I’ll give them some silver for them to make a living.”

“What about you, will you stay with me?”

“Haha, do you want to support me?”

“Well, I should be able to afford it. Whether as a brother or as your husband, it’s something I should do,” Ye Chen continued, “There’s a courtyard in the Wasteland City, let’s go back and live there. It’s time for a change of scenery.”

“Across Sky Lake Manor?”

“Yes.”

“You sure do know how to joke.”

“We can choose another place. As long as you say the word, I will agree to it straight away. I’m even willing to consummate our marriage tonight.”

“Just a little brat.”

“Heh, listen to me, I’ll take you back to the Central Plains in the future.”

“Go back to the Central Plains! Are you from there?”

“Hmm, but it’s been many years since I last returned.”

“Your martial arts skills…”

“Self-taught. Impressive, isn’t it?”

“So-so.” But his martial arts are indeed somewhat impressive. That day, several masters couldn’t charge in. If it wasn’t for him, I surely couldn’t have held them off.

“Hey, it’s rare to be alone, really, find a companion, go back to the Wastelands, have a look around! Always staying in this remote place, what’s there to enjoy? I’ll accompany you then, we can go fishing together.” Ye Chen said.

“How would you know that being alone isn’t fun.”

“If it was fun, then on the first night we met, you wouldn’t have come to drink with me and said so much. The loneliness is the worst, I understand. In the future, I’ll warm your bed, surely it won’t feel lonely.”

Feng Niang gave a cold laugh.

“Anyway, we’re both homeless people, team up, make a living. Take care of each other, you take care of me, I take care of you, it’s quite romantic. Alternatively, I can take care of you. Of course, I won’t object to you taking care of me.”

“With a sweet mouth like yours, how come you can’t find a partner?”

“No choice, too poor, so poor that I’m tinkling, no one would want me.”

“Your martial arts are so good, being around you gives a sense of security, how can you not find a partner, unless you pursue one, discard one, and then just directly throw her away.”

“You’re wrong about that; I might seem fearless, but in reality, I’m quite timid, I dare not do bad things!”

“It’s a pity we have such an age gap, otherwise, I might have fallen for you.”

“Really?” Ye Chen cheered up.

“It’s a pity that it’s not possible for us.”

“Why?”

“Because you are too young.”

“Says who.”

The sky was gradually brightening, Ling’er and the others found the location of the Feng Niang Inn. But that place had already been burned to ashes, everything was black, and after the rain last night, no trace was left, it had become like an ink painting.

Ling’er jumped down from the horse, her heart that had been calm all night became restless again. She started sobbing again, running into the ruins of the Feng Niang Inn. The bodies had been cleared away, everything had vanished with the rain last night.

Wan Lan followed her and said, “Ling’er, could you not be like this? I really don’t know how to comfort you.”

“Daddy.” Ling’er was calling out like she was trying to summon a soul, hoping to beckon her father’s spirit back. She was terribly agitated.

As dawn broke, Ye Chen also got up. Without knowing where to go and breakfast not yet ready, he roamed around the secret passage. After who knows how long, he heard sobbing. He was startled, thinking there were ghosts, how could there be a girl’s crying.

Listening carefully, the sobbing seemed to be echoing from outside the cave.

That was the location of the Feng Niang Inn. Ye Chen was surprised, he had thought they died, so why was someone still crying? He was startled when he heard the chaotic cries of “Daddy.”

This sound touched his heart, like a child saying, “I want a hug.” Ye Chen moved a stone, looked out, and saw a few New City disciples in the ruin. Wasn’t that the girl who was always bothering him and trying to skin him alive?

Why did she come here so early in the morning instead of sleeping, crying her heart out? Right, she must think her father is dead. Hearing her sobbing so sorrowfully, Ye Chen couldn’t bear it.

He couldn’t allow this beautiful girl who drooled over him to keep crying, could the heavens bear it? Using a deep voice he sobbed, “I died so miserably! I died so horrifically! I died beyond recognition.” A hand reached out from under the ground, flailing around.

Wan Lan truly thought she was seeing a ghost. Ling’er was startled into stopping her crying. Suddenly, such a sound interrupted her sobbing. The sound seemed to come from underground. Slowly turning her head, she saw a hand flailing from the black ground, scaring both of them into jumping up. Jumping higher than kangaroos, “Oh my goodness!”

The two disciples behind them instantly drew their swords. Ye Chen hurriedly retracted his hand underground, covering his mouth to stifle his laughter.

The two girls had not recovered their soul, both looked at each other.

They had never seen a ghost before.

“I didn’t see that wrong, did I?” Ling’er stopped crying.

Wan Lan shook her head, she had seen it too.

With the two disciples leading them…

They approached again, wanting to take a closer look and see what was happening. But then the sobbing came from below again.

Everyone was so scared that they stepped backwards a few feet, and no one dared to come closer. Ye Chen shattered the stone slab with a palm, and the stone flew out. Afterwards, he crawled out from the ground.

The four were so scared that they lost their souls.

“It’s early in the morning, don’t you guys let others sleep, why are you crying?”

“Are you a human or a ghost?” one disciple shouted.

“What do you think?”

“Isn’t he the boy we are looking for?” Wan Lan said.

Ling’er nodded.

They approached again.

Ye Chen let out a deep voice again.

A disciple came over wielding his sword, saying, “I am a Maoshan Taoist Priest, I kill gods upon encountering them, kill ghosts upon meeting them.”

“I think you’re a Toilet Taoist Priest. Can’t even differentiate between humans and ghosts.”

At this moment, Ling’er took courage and shouted, “Why were you sleeping underground in the middle of the night?”

“It’s comfortable under the ground, you want to come try? Our tunnel is not yet finished.”
