Chapter 657: Bai Lixiong’s Condition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dong Shiyu did not expect Ye Chen to be so agitated. She glanced at Ye Chen’s hand that was holding hers with a flushed face.

“Mr. Ye…”

Ye Chen finally reacted and released his hand.

“Since you entered with Bai Lixiong, do you know his whereabouts now?”

Dong Shiyu nodded, but her gaze was complicated.

“Mr. Ye, please follow me.”

“Alright.”

Dong Shiyu led Ye Chen north for about ten kilometers.

To Ye Chen’s surprise, it was an unusually bustling place.

Not only were there all kinds of ancient-looking buildings, but there were also many modem buildings. It looked as busy as a miniature version of Capital

City.

“Mr. Ye, this is Mingyang Town in the Kunlun Mountains. It’s considered the largest town nearby. I’ve been staying here over the past few days.”

“As for General Bai Lixiong, he has been staying in a nearby inn.”

Ye Chen frowned. Was Bai Lixiong supposed to go to that sect to look for his wife? Why was he still here?

“What has he been doing here these past few days?

Dong Shiyu let out a long sigh.

“Drinking. General Bai Lixiong has been drinking for the past few days. I’ve tried to persuade him many times, but it’s no use. Perhaps Mr. Ye can persuade him.”

As they spoke, the two of them stepped into the inn.

In the corner of the restaurant, Ye Chen saw a man with a buzz cut and a face full of stubble, who immediately recognized as Bai Lixiong.

However, the current Bai Lixiong was completely different from the one he was familiar with.

He no longer had the aura of a great general, but instead looked like a decadent tramp!

He was holding a pot of wine and looking out the window, thinking about something.

“Mr. Ye… General Bai Lixiong’s temper has been a little bad these few days, so please be mindful…”

Dong Shiyu reminded him. She had almost been seriously injured the last time she tried to persuade Bai Lixiong.

After all, Bai Lixiong’s strength was considered one of the top in Huaxia.

Ye Chen did not answer. Instead, he sat down beside Bai Lixiong. Then, he clenched his fist, snatched the wine jug, and gulped down a mouthful of wine.

This was a famous liquor of the Kunlun Mountains.

When Bai Lixiong saw that his hands were empty, an invisible anger swept

over him. “That was my wine. Why are you…”

The voice suddenly trailed off.

The moment the tipsy Bai Lixiong saw Ye Chen, he stood up and sobered up.

“Mr. Ye!”

Bai Lixiong was about to kneel down when Ye Chen gathered his true qi and pushed him back to his position.

“Sit.”

Bai Lixiong’s expression was serious as he sat up straight and said excitedly , “Mr. Ye, when did you enter the Kunlun Mountains? If I knew you were coming,

I would have taken a shower.”

Ye Chen glanced at Bai Lixiong and said calmly, “When I was in Jiangnan Province, I asked you to come in with me, but you insisted on going in yourself earlier. Tell me, what happened?”

“I remember that you wanted to sacrifice yourself for your country and die ■•rttaiemoerHiSi’yocr winneo-toTcacnftceyfea^oryutricudmiy anu me without regret. This no longer seems true for the current you.”

Bai Lixiong’s face turned red and he sighed, “Mr. Ye, I’m also considered to be at the peak of martial arts in Huaxia, but after entering, I realized how small I am. My strength is worthless here. Here, nobody knows my identity in Huaxia. Without the Iron-Blooded Camp, I’m nothing.

“After leaving Huaxia, I realized that everything I’ve been pursuing has disappeared.”

“Sometimes, I even wondered if it’s worth it for me to abandon everything and enter the Kunlun Mountains just for a woman’s answer.”

Ye Chen naturally understood Bai Lixiong’s thoughts.

In Huaxia, Bai Lixiong was the leader and general of the Iron-Blooded Camp!

His status and authority were extremely high, and he basically only reported to one person. However, after entering the Kunlun Mountains, all of that became worthless.

His comrades were gone, and even his strength was insignificant here.

Anyone would feel the same way.

“You saw your wife?” Ye Chen suddenly asked.

He knew Bai Lixiong well. This kind of feeling was unlikely to crush such a person. The only thing that could make him unable to recover was probably the wife he was looking for.

Bai Lixiong looked out of the window and was about to pick up the wine when his hand that was suspended in mid-air stopped. “Mr. Ye, I didn’t see her. I don’t even have the right to enter her sect.”

“On the first day I entered the Kunlun Mountains, I traveled for a day and a night just for that answer. The funny thing was that I didn’t even have the right to meet her. I was forcefully thrown out of her sect.

“I never thought that I would end up in such a state!”

Ye Chen glanced at Bai Lixiong’s body and could clearly see a few internal injuries that had yet to heal.

His other hand was hidden in his sleeve, and a trace of a deathly aura could be felt from it.

Ye Chen’S eyes narrowed. He quickly grabbed Bai Lixiong’s left hand and pulled up his sleeve!

“Mr. Ye, I’m fine!”

However, when his sleeve was pulled open, everything became clear.

Bai Lixiong’s left arm was necrotic, and his entire arm was black!

If it was not treated in time, the injury on his arm might spread throughout his entire body!

“This is fine? Are you still trying to lie to me?!”

Ye Chen took out a pill and shoved it into Bai Lixiong’s hand.

“Consume it immediately!”

“I’m not doing this for you, but for Bai Libing! You might think that your life is worthless, but have you ever thought about Bai Libing?

When Bai Lixiong heard his name, a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes.

He no longer hesitated and consumed the pill. A faint energy instantly circulated throughout his body.

At the same time, Ye Chen took out dozens of silver needles, and imbued each one with his true qi.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The silver needles were shot out simultaneously, and they embedded themselves into Bai Lixiong’s necrotic arm.

Ye Chen then formed a seal with his fingers and used a formation on the silver needles.

The silver needles trembled violently, and the black color on Bai Lixiong’s arm gradually dissipated. In the end, it returned to normal.

Ten minutes later, Ye Chen exhaled and pulled out the silver needles. He said, “For the next three days, you can’t use your left hand. I’ll give you some medicine, apply it once in the morning and once in the evening.”

Back in Huaxia, Bai Lixiong had helped Ye Chen many times, and Ye Chen had always remembered this kindness.

Moreover, Ye Chen admired Bai Lixiong’s character very much. Naturally, he would not leave the latter in the lurch.

Bai Lixiong felt a refreshing sensation coming from his left arm, and his gaze turned serious.

“Mr. Ye, I, Bai Lixiong, owe you a favor.”

Before he could finish, Ye Chen interrupted him. “Enough. Which sect did you injure your hand? Or did your wife do it?”

“Mr. Ye, this has nothing to do with Wanning. Of course she won’t hurt me…” Bai Lixiong shook his head.

“In other words, this was done by someone from that sect?
