Chapter 2798: Win her once first!
Ye Chen didn't expect that Lin Wan'er, who looked weak and green, would be so bold.
She clearly knew that neither she nor he was Wu Feiyan's opponent. Once they encountered Wu Feiyan head-on, both of them would almost certainly die.
After all, Yun Ruge had told them both in front of them that Wu Feiyan had opened her Niwan Palace more than a hundred years ago, which meant that her strength more than a hundred years ago was much stronger than Ye Chen's current strength.
But even so, Lin Wan'er still wanted to take the risk.
You know, if this kind of thing goes wrong, it will cost lives.
So, he said very seriously, "We have no possibility of escaping in front of Wu Feiyan. Are you sure you really want to take the risk here?"
Lin Wan'er nodded solemnly, looked at Ye Chen, and said firmly, "In the past three hundred years, I have been hiding from her. In order not to be discovered by her, I have always been very cautious, so cautious that I would almost never set foot in any place related to her. However, now that I know she might come here, I don't know why, but I suddenly want to take this risk!"
Ye Chen was stunned by her words and couldn't help but say, "You might be having a late rebellious phase."
Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue, "Maybe. But no matter what, I finally understand why those extreme sports enthusiasts want to climb skyscrapers with their bare hands. They also know that a slight carelessness during climbing will lead to being smashed to pieces, but they still want to try. For the sake of that adventurous tension and excitement, as well as the sense of conquest after success;"
Pausing, Lin Wan'er added, "When others see a skyscraper, they look up, sigh, and praise it, while when they see a skyscraper, what they think in their hearts is, 'I once conquered it with my bare hands without any external force or protection.' I think that sense of achievement can make them happy for a long time!"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I advise you to try to stay rational. If this decision is wrong, then this mistake might not have any chance to be corrected."
Lin Wan'er lowered her head and pursed her lips, then raised her head, somewhat excitedly, "I have self-knowledge. In this life, I cannot possess the ability to kill Wu Feiyan. Not being killed by her is already a great success..."
"However, although I don't have the ability to kill her, at least I have the opportunity to despise her with actual actions today!"
"Doesn't Wu Feiyan dream of catching me? Then she probably never dreamed that I was once very close to her at some point!"
"If I succeed this time, then my cat-and-mouse game with Wu Feiyan in this life will be considered winning her once first!"
"If I win until the day she dies, and she hasn't caught me, then I will have won until the end!"
"As long as I win this time, one day in the future, I will definitely let her know that I, Lin Wan'er, have not been running after her, Wu Feiyan, blindly!"
"Even if she is tyrannical for a lifetime, so what? I, Lin Wan'er, still won against her!"
"Even if she is tyrannical for a lifetime, so what? I, Lin Wan'er, still won against her!"
Seeing Lin Wan'er's excited and eager-to-try look, Ye Chen felt a little understanding of her mood.
She had been hiding from Wu Feiyan for more than three hundred years, and she was probably the only one in the world who had been running away for more than three hundred years.
As she said, she had no possibility of finding Wu Feiyan for revenge in this life, but she could use great courage to slap Wu Feiyan in the face.
Not being discovered under Wu Feiyan's nose was perhaps the best way for her to slap Wu Feiyan in the face now.
So, Ye Chen was also somewhat infected by her and said, "Since that's the case, then I don't need to ask anyone to install any surveillance secretly. I will accompany you to wait for Wu Feiyan to come over here, and by the way, I will see with my own eyes what kind of person Wu Feiyan is!"
Lin Wan'er asked in surprise, "Are you really willing to accompany me, Young Master?"
Ye Chen nodded, "That's right."
Lin Wan'er said seriously, "This is walking on a tightrope on a ten-thousand-foot cliff. If there is a mistake, it will cost lives."
Ye Chen smiled, "You are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
Lin Wan'er smiled slightly, her eyes full of sincerity, and said, "With your words, Young Master, I am satisfied. But I am different from you, Young Master. I am alone, without relatives or friends. Death has never been a terrible thing for me. On the contrary, death is a relief for me, so I want to stay by myself and don't want to implicate you, Young Master."
Ye Chen waved his hand, "I can't even persuade you, why do you think you can persuade me?"
Lin Wan'er insisted, "But this is my private grudge with Wu Feiyan."
Ye Chen said indifferently, "I also have a grudge with her. Although my parents were not killed by her own hands, as the mastermind behind the scenes, she is my greatest enemy."
Lin Wan'er hurriedly said, "Then I will stay today to slap Wu Feiyan in the face, and you, Young Master, will find another opportunity to take Wu Feiyan's life in the future. Can we divide the work like this?"
Ye Chen shook his head, looked at Lin Wan'er, and said seriously, "How about this, from now on, you will be with me for everything related to Wu Feiyan. Today I will accompany you to slap her in the face, and in the future, you will accompany me to take her life. How about that?"
Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen, not knowing what to say for a while, and the image of Ye Chen in her eyes gradually blurred, and her eyes were actually wet with tears.
She held back her tears, smiled softly, and said, "Thank you for your love, Young Master. From today on, I will advance and retreat with you, Young Master!"
Shuanglang Ancient Town.
Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er, dressed in couple's outfits, didn't rush to buy equipment, but walked around the town first.
Although Shuanglang Ancient Town had undergone earth-shaking changes in Lin Wan'er's eyes, she still found some memories of her youth.
She found a stone bridge she had walked on when she was young, excitedly took Ye Chen's hand, and said excitedly to him, "Darling, I have walked on this bridge several times when I was young!"
Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Are you sure it's this bridge?"
"Sure!" Lin Wan'er pulled Ye Chen onto the bluestone bridge. In the middle of the stone bridge, she pointed to a chipped bluestone slab and introduced it to Ye Chen, "This defect was caused by a frightened horse. Its owner was a stonemason who came to deliver two stone carvings to the new mansion of the Shuanglang chieftain that day. As a result, the horse had some difficulty on this arch bridge, so the stonemason whipped the horse hard. The horse was anxious, its hooves slipped, and it almost fell, then it struggled to run forward like crazy, overturning the cart it was pulling. One of the stone carvings smashed onto this stone slab, leaving such a gap."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added, "It just so happened that I followed my grandfather from Dali Ancient City to congratulate the chieftain here that day, so I happened to see the whole process of the horse being frightened and causing trouble by the bridge."
Hearing her description, Ye Chen had already involuntarily imagined the scene she described.
At this time, a little girl of about seven or eight years old, wearing Hanfu, holding a candied hawthorn in her hand, and jumping onto the bridge with small steps, happened to pass by. Her mother bent down and followed behind, taking pictures of her with her phone, while her father carried a large and a small bag, holding two drinks, and followed unhurriedly.
Lin Wan'er kept her eyes on the little girl, a slight smile appeared on her face involuntarily, and she said to Ye Chen, "At that time, I was a little younger than her."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er blinked playfully at Ye Chen and said, "But the clothes I wore then were better looking than hers. My grandmother embroidered a jacket for me by hand, which couldn't be found anywhere else in Yunnan. Unlike the Hanfu worn by young girls now, most of them are fake, without any charm of Hanfu at all."
Ye Chen recalled that when he saw Lin Wan'er in Northern Europe, her Hanfu was so exquisite that it was unbelievable, so he asked curiously, "Where did you buy the clothes you wore when I first met you in Northern Europe?"
Lin Wan'er smiled shyly and said, "The crepe embroidered skirt and the four-square auspicious cloud cloud shoulder I wore when we first met were all made by myself. I learned those needlework and embroidery skills from my grandmother, but my grandmother passed away early, and I only learned sixty or seventy percent of her skills."
In the next few hours, Ye Chen accompanied Lin Wan'er to visit the ancient town. After Lin Wan'er had enough fun, the two found an outdoor supplies store and purchased some equipment needed for camping.
Because they were pretending to be a couple, the two bought a tent, as well as sleeping mats, lightweight sleeping bags, and camping lights, which were essential items.
In addition, Ye Chen also bought two folding chairs, a folding table, and some daily necessities for washing.
Ye Chen felt that since they wanted to play a "dark under the lamp" trick under Wu Feiyan's nose, they must have a good relationship with the group of outdoor enthusiasts who planned to camp on Turtle Back Mountain, and integrate into their circle, which could also help him and Lin Wan'er do a better cover-up.
So, he bought more high-end spirits and fresh ingredients, intending to get familiar with those people when he went back.
He speculated that if Wu Feiyan came to Shuanglang, the probability of her arrival time was from tonight to tomorrow morning. It just so happened that those people were camping here tonight. He would have a few drinks with them tonight. In this way, he estimated that they wouldn't get up early tomorrow and leave. With more people, there would naturally be more cover.
When the two returned to Turtle Back Mountain with the purchased equipment, it was already approaching dusk.
The outdoor enthusiasts who came earlier called some more hikers. A group of people set up eight tents, and at this moment, they were enjoying the sunset while preparing dinner.
Seeing Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er returning with a pile of equipment, the young man who was called Old Hu took the initiative to say to the two, "Guys, we were just saying that you might not come over, but I didn't expect you to really come!"
Ye Chen looked at Lin Wan'er beside him and said with a smile, "No way, my girlfriend insisted on camping, so I had to accompany her."
Old Hu pointed to the open space next to the eight tents and said with a smile, "We specially set up the tents more densely and left an empty space for you. You can set up your tent there. We are planning to light a fire and roast skewers. Let's eat together in a while!"
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Thanks, buddy."
After saying this, he came before the group, handed the shopping bag containing the alcohol to Old Hu, and laughed, "I was planning to come sponge a meal off you guys anyway, so I specifically bought a few bottles of wine. Everyone can drink together tonight!"
Old Hu laughed, pulled a wooden guitar from the grass beside him, and said happily, "Okay! Let's drink and eat meat together tonight. After dinner, let's have a bonfire party. We are not afraid of disturbing the people in this mountain, so we can drink and sing to our heart's content!" ===== CHAPTER 2799 =====
