Chapter 99: They’re All Family, Chen Changsheng: You Won’t Sleep Well Tonight
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s words, Ye Hensheng replied calmly, “I understand my master’s meaning.”
“If my master didn’t have hope for us, he wouldn’t have reprimanded us earlier.”
“Our performance at the Heavenly Heroes Conference could be considered qualified, but in the competition for the Dao, we are not even cannon fodder.”
“Now that the world is undergoing great changes, no one knows how the future will unfold.”
“But one thing everyone knows is that the future will definitely produce a strongest person.”
“In this process, there will undoubtedly be a mountain of corpses and a sea of bl**d; my master wants us to share some of the pressure from our masters.”
Once he finished speaking, Ye Hensheng continued to bow down on the ground.
Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, “It seems you understand the reasoning, but do you think I’m being a bit too cruel?”
“Letting you kids share such heavy responsibilities is somewhat unreasonable!”
“Master, we have always thought this way.”
“If it weren’t for your intervention, we would have forever lived under the wings of our elders.”
“Although the actions of our elders are for our good, we don’t want to be like Zhu Hua in a greenhouse.”
“Even if we face d*ath, we want to d*e on the path forward.”
Seeing the determination in Ye Hensheng’s eyes, Chen Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
“That’s good; your words prove that I didn’t misjudge you.”
“The upcoming competition for the Dao is a showdown of heroes, as well as a clash of the forces behind these heroes.”
“Living beings in this world cannot escape this calamity.”
“Su Tian has a straightforward character; he is only suitable to be a master, not to lead a faction.”
“Although Gongsun Huaiyu is clever and brave, her perspective is lacking, so she is only suited to be a warrior.”
“Only you are steady and meticulous; you are the best candidate to be a strategist.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ye Hensheng raised his eyebrows in excitement and said, “Master, have you selected someone already?”
“Yes, there is someone; you should have heard of this person.”
“He is the leader of the Seventy-two Smoke Signals, Wu Li.”
Ye Hensheng: ???
Ye Hensheng’s face was filled with question marks regarding Chen Changsheng’s choice.
After all, from both relational and sentimental perspectives, Master shouldn’t choose an outsider!
Could it be that there is some deeper connection between the Seventy-two Smoke Signals and my master?
Could my master have taken a liking to Gongsun Huaiyu?
Countless thoughts flashed through Ye Hensheng’s mind.
Noticing his expression, Chen Changsheng chuckled, “Stop thinking; choosing Wu Li is not just due to my connection with him but because he indeed has the capital to fight for it.”
“Besides Wu Li, whether it’s your two masters or Xuanwu Kingdom’s Left Emperor, they all lack a certain something.”
“Now that we’re on this topic, let me share some little secrets from back then.”
“Your second master, although I need to call him senior brother, was still a child when he entered the door.”
“A small part of his skills was taught by me, and his style was also learned from me.”
“As for your master, I also know something.”
“When your master was still a little she-wolf, I had some conflicts with her.”
“I knocked her back to her wolf form and shaved the fur off her head, so I have a relatively deep understanding of her.”
Ye Hensheng: !!!
Hearing such explosive gossip, Ye Hensheng nearly popped his eyes out.
If his second master’s situation was a bit surprising, then his master’s story was explosive!
He knew his master’s temper too well; his master actually dared to shave her wolf fur!
No wonder he was called “Hensheng,” it all made sense now.
“Gulp!”
Struggling to swallow a mouthful of saliva, Ye Hensheng’s eyes ignited with intense curiosity.
“What about the Left Emperor?”
“Zuo Xinghe is relatively simple; back then, I ran into some trouble and ended up in Xuanwu Kingdom.”

“At that time in Xuanwu Kingdom, there were nine princes competing for the throne.”
“As the eldest prince, Zuo Xinghe found me, and they conferred upon me some title of national teacher.”
“At that time, he had just turned one hundred, following me around all day, which nearly drove me crazy.”
“So do you think I have the qualifications to evaluate them?”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s smiling face, Ye Hensheng’s mouth twitched.
Of course, you have the qualifications; if you didn’t have qualifications, then no one in the world would.
After silently mocking himself, Ye Hensheng said, “Then what about the Seventy-two Smoke Signals?”
“Master, you aren’t one of the founders of the Seventy-two Smoke Signals, are you?”
“Of course not.”
“Phew~”
Hearing this, Ye Hensheng let out a long sigh of relief; it seemed that his master’s identity might be a bit too frightening.
“But Wu Li’s skills were taught by me.”
Ye Hensheng: ???
“The infamous Wu Li, ruling over the Central Courtyard, is actually your disciple?”
“Then doesn’t Gongsun Huaiyu have to call you grandmaster!”
“Theoretically, yes, but I don’t take disciples.”
Chen Changsheng’s indifferent attitude left Ye Hensheng completely speechless; even the various sacred lands could do nothing about the notorious Wu Li, yet he was actually Chen Changsheng’s disciple.
How many identities does my master have?
After some slight contemplation, any grudges in Ye Hensheng’s heart vanished.
Although he trusted his master’s judgment, being suddenly thrown into danger to assist a stranger made him somewhat uncomfortable.
But knowing Wu Li’s relationship with his master made it all okay.
His master is from Shangqing View, so it follows that Wu Li is also from Shangqing View.
By lineage, Wu Li is his senior brother!
Helping his senior brother, can this even be considered helping an outsider?
This is entirely helping family.
After finishing your words, Chen Changsheng stood up, stretched, and said, “Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say; how to act is up to you to ponder.”
“You still have a bit of time to grow; seize the moment. I have something to attend to.”
“Master, wait a moment!”
“Is there still a problem?”
“Master, there’s a small issue I’m very curious about,” Ye Hensheng said with a face full of smiles. “I somewhat understand your character.”
“Given your nature, you shouldn’t be too keen on getting involved in such matters; what reason has made you so concerned about the competition for the Dao?”
Seeing the curious expression on Ye Hensheng’s face, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Chen Changsheng’s mouth.
“The fundamental reason is that I have a grudge against Jiang Bufan, the master of Kunlun Sacred Ground, and I am very likely to k*ll him.”
Ye Hensheng: ???
“No, Master, don’t scare me; this matter isn’t a joke.”
“In the competition for the Dao, at most, it’s just enmity with the sacred lands; if you k*ll the master of a sacred land, it’s a matter of life and d*ath with that sacred land!”
“Who’s messing around? I’m serious.”
“Gulp!”
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ye Hensheng’s mouth twitched, “Then how big is your grudge?”
“Unless I d*e or he dies, this matter will never end.”
“Master, can I regret coming now?”
“It’s too late; I told you long ago that curiosity killed the cat; yet you just don’t learn.”
“Last time it was the Seventy-two Smoke Signals; this time it’s Kunlun Sacred Ground; I’m really curious if you’ll still be able to sleep well afterward.”
After teasing Ye Hensheng, Chen Changsheng turned and left the room.
Ye Hensheng: “……”
You must be doing this on purpose; with so many things going on, how could I possibly sleep?
