Chapter 170 You City I Have Always Guarded For You
But I dare not say it.

The seriousness on Wen Rentan's face disappeared the moment Ye Chen appeared, replaced by his usual playful smile.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Chen was upset: "What are you doing here?"

"Shengsheng misses me, I'm afraid she'll be lovesick." Wen Rentan was grinning, but when his eyes caught sight of the intimate posture between Ye Chen and me, he moved away stiffly.

It's not that I haven't done it before sitting on Ye Chen's lap in private, but now that there is an extra light bulb, I'm also very embarrassed.

I tried to get up and sit on another empty chair, but Ye Chen hugged me forcefully, not letting me move.

"Shengsheng also misses me when he misses ghosts, it's none of your business, you can get out." Ye Chen mercilessly issued the order to chase away guests, but Wen Rentan didn't know it.

"I'm here to look for Shengsheng, not you. Shengsheng, I miss you so much!"

Listening to Wen Rentan's nasty words, goose bumps all over my body are about to rise.

Ye Chen frowned, I can guarantee that if Wen Rentan continues talking, Ye Chen will fight with him.

"Okay, you go back first." I said to Wen Rentan.

Wen Rentan immediately looked at me with hurt eyes: "Shengsheng..."

"Be good! In the future, if I need to find you, I will go to You City to find you." Before I finished speaking, I felt Ye Chen's waist being stretched.

This ghost is so narrow-minded.

Wen Rentan was happy to see Yechen jealous, winked at me, and left happily.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but I heard Ye Chen's sour words above my head: "Why are you protecting him?"

Hey, he hasn't finished his old sour vinegar yet!
"If he doesn't leave, you can't beat him?" There was no one around, I hugged Ye Chen's neck tightly and leaned against him.

"Fortunate for him!" Ye Chen ground his teeth and pecked at me, "Did you ask me anything?"

Thinking of Wen Rentan's words that Ye Chen should not know, I can't break the contract, so I can only shake my head.

But Ye Chen comforted me as expected, "Don't worry, even if he said it, it might not be the truth."

Judging from his tone, why does it seem that he has found out some secret of Wen Rentan?

Sensing the puzzled look in my eyes, Ye Chen explained: "Mo Yuan took Hua Si's mother and daughter to play in the world these days, and he just came back today. I went to him and asked Wen Ren Tan how he became the Lord of You City."

In the underworld, to become the lord of a city, in the past, you could rely on your strength to grab it.Now that Pluto is in power, he can only be appointed by Pluto.

However, in order to take care of the aristocratic family, the Ming Palace also gives preferential treatment to the city lords of each city.

For example, in the land of Chang Xiao, after the death of old Lord Ye, Ye Chen can succeed.If Lao Yejun preferred Yeran at that time, and Yechen had no intention of seizing power, Lao Yejun could also appoint Yeran to succeed him.

Excluding the relationship between Ye Chen and Pluto, if Ye Ran has the right to succeed and Ye Chen also wants to succeed, the two brothers will fight each other, and whoever wins will succeed.

As long as the bottom line of the Hades is not involved, Hades will not meddle in the family's internal affairs.

The current city lord of You City is Wen Rentan, and he can also give me the position of the city lord directly.But passing the throne like this requires the approval of the palace of the underworld.

And because I am Luyao, I have the right to inherit Youcheng, and the situation is special, so there is basically no resistance from the Underworld Palace.

Logically speaking, Pluto has not forgotten to weaken the rights of the family even today.After Lu's family fell, he should find a confidant to take over Youcheng.

Ye Chen had the same thought as me: "Mo Yuan originally wanted Xing Boxiao to come back and take over You City, but before the Hades order could be issued, Wen Rentan came to him and said that he wanted You City."

"Then Mo Yuan gave You City to him?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "Of course not. It's just that Wen Rentan took out your father's token, saying that your father appointed him to help you guard Youcheng."

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing that I accepted this setting without doubt, Ye Chen frowned slightly again: "Sheng Sheng, don't you wonder why he has your father's token?"

"My father gave it to me."

"This is what he took." Ye Chen opened his hand in front of me, and there was an emerald ring in his thick palm.It is my father's personal belongings, and he always keeps it with him.

"It seems that my father really trusts him, and actually gave him all the fingers."

"Shengsheng," Ye Chen sighed, "What kind of circumstances do you think he got this finger?"

This means that my father will not leave him for a moment, unless it is in an emergency, when he even thought of the possible scene: "Maybe my father entrusted Youcheng and me to him before he died. I was afraid that Mo Yuan would not believe it, so I gave it to him." He wrench his fingers."

"Then Wen Rentan met your father before he died. Since your father has the ability to give him the finger, he is also capable of telling him who the murderer is. Instead of letting him take over Youcheng, why don't you tell him who the murderer is? ? so that you have a defense?"

Ye Chen broke the point with a single word, and I was immediately dumbfounded.

"Shengsheng, I know you may not want to believe it. But if I'm not mistaken, the destruction of Lu's family is probably related to Wen Rentan."

Wen Rentan said that it was related to the Ye family, and Ye Chen said that it was related to Wen Rentan, I don't want to believe anyone.

Ye Chen always liked to talk about evidence, and this time it was the same.He put the first piece of evidence - the finger wrench on the table, and picked up my glazed bone whip: "Do you remember this whip? It was sent back by Wen Rentan?"

I nodded, and Ye Chen said: "This whip is also your personal belonging. Unless something happens to you, the whip cannot be left outside. He can get your father's finger and your whip, so you won't doubt it." ?”

"He said that Bilian took it to the black market for auction..."

"Bilian is still hiding in the City Lord's Mansion to heal her injuries." Ye Chen reminded again, "Although that girl has been with you for so many years, it is normal to understand the structure of the City Lord's Mansion. But I saw it when I went, and the entire City Lord's Mansion The defense is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and with that girl's cultivation base, it is basically impossible to sneak in without being discovered. What's more, in the city lord's mansion, your room has the most guards. Someone must help her."

All the ghosts in the City Lord's Mansion are newcomers, and no one knows that there is a secret room in my room—except Wen Rentan.

Moreover, he is terribly familiar with Lu's family.

I remembered Wen Rentan just said that he used to be the ghost of Lu's family.Why ever?

Am I suspicious of Wen Rentan?

Sure enough, love is a terrible thing. When Wen Rentan doubted Yechen, I could choose to continue to believe in Yechen without hesitation.

But in the face of Yechen's suspicion of Wen Rentan, although I was unwilling to believe it, I was still a little puzzled in my heart.

I decided not to think about it for the time being, and asked Ye Chen: "Did Mo Yuan say anything about the extermination of Lu's family?"

Mentioning this, Ye Chen couldn't help grinding his teeth: "He asked me to tell you, he deeply regrets this."

"It's a pity that he's so immoral!" I also ground my teeth in anger, "Does he know who the murderer is?"

"I'm not sure. He said let's find out ourselves."

Lazy Mo Yuan!

I was about to drag Ye Chen to complain to Mo Han, but he said thoughtfully, "Sheng Sheng, Mo Han also said that we should investigate this matter ourselves."

I was startled.

I know that Mo Yuan likes to be lazy and doesn't want to take care of things, but Mo Han is definitely a qualified Pluto.The destruction of Lu's family in the underworld is by no means a trivial matter. Even if Mo Han was not there when the accident happened, he shouldn't let him go now that he is back.

Why does he have the same attitude as Mo Yuan?

"No... my father really wants to rebel?" I asked Ye Chen softly in disbelief.

Ye Chen lowered his eyes and asked me: "Do you think it's possible?"

"Impossible... My father likes Ming coins, not power... Moreover, he knows that he is not the opponent of Ming Palace, so he will not seek his own death!"

Ye Chen also thought the same as me, lowered his eyes and said: "Let's take a step and see." He picked up the glazed bone whip, "Do you remember the whip method?"

I nodded: "Remember some, I'll show you!"

Ye Chen nodded, I got up with the whip, poured mana into the whip, the whip came to life like a long snake, and hit the rockery in the yard with my swing.

Under the influence of my mana, the rockery was cut in half by the whip.

"I'm great!" I looked back at Ye Chen happily, and I got a look of admiration from him.

"Good job. You can practice more when you have nothing to do at home. You used to like it." He stood up and walked towards me, glanced at the whip in my hand, "Wen Rentan said he bought the glass whip on the black market? I asked the ghost to inquire about the price, double the money and return it to him.”

I mean it too.

Yechen didn't tell me the specific price, but I know it's very expensive.After I doubled the money and returned it to Wen Rentan, I only knew it was more expensive.

Ye Chen has been helping me investigate the affairs of Lu's family, and found out many aristocratic families.In some aristocratic families, after he found a reason, he brought the ghosts into hell.For some, he chose to subdue it secretly, and then dragged the ghost into hell for slow torture.

He won't tell me about these bloody things. For him, it's enough for him to bear all the sins. I just need to be my Madam Ye in Changxiao Mansion Master's Courtyard without any worries.

Although Ye Chen did these things in secret, how could the patriarchs of the underworld be trash.After discovering that many ghosts were missing, those old ghosts finally panicked.

Some came to check on Ye Chen's tone, while others went directly to the Nether Palace to seek safety.

Ming Gong turned a blind eye to this, and I greeted all the wives of the aristocratic families who came to Changxiao Mansion to inquire about the news, and after asking three questions, I sent the ghosts out.

The only variable is probably the fact that the Lord of Youcheng is Wen Rentan.Those ghosts who originally wanted to buy Wen Rentan with high-ranking officials and generous salaries were half-pissed off when they found out about this.

"Ye Chen! Tell me! Did you leak my identity!" Wen Rentan rushed into Ye Chen's and me's yard angrily, and stood in front of us, as if he was about to fight Ye Chen to the death .

The couple's swing time was interrupted, and Ye Chen was quite unhappy.He hugged me tightly and continued to swing, and at the same time gave Wen Rentan a sidelong glance: "I don't have that leisurely mind!"

"Then how do others know that I am the Lord of You City!"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't you still have a good son?"

"I never told him about it! He couldn't possibly know!"

"I told him."

Wen Rentan was taken aback, and Ye Chen continued: "You are the lord of the city, but you even kept your son a secret. I thought the child was pitiful, so I told him."

With a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, he was even more happy to see Wen Rentan being so angry.

"Yechen, you bastard!" Wen Rentan was furious, and swung his sword out, "Get up! I want to fight you!"

"Okay! It just so happens that I have wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time!" Ye Chen stopped the swing and gave me a light peck, "Wait for me to come back."

He got up and stepped forward, swiping his sword and immediately fought Wen Rentan.

The guards of the Changxiao Mansion thought that this was the moment, and they all came forward to help, but I stopped them all: "It's okay, Lord Ye is playing, what are you going to do?"

Wen Rentan is now a famous ghost in the underworld, all ghosts, big and small, know him.Knowing his identity, the guards all retreated obediently.

I looked at the two ghosts fighting again in the sky, and could vaguely hear their voices.

"Bastard! I want you to talk!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your talking too much to come to Sheng Sheng! Do you think I'm willing to take care of your crap?"

Wen Rentan was taken aback for a moment, Ye Chen's long sword pierced dangerously sideways at his cheek, and then he came back to his senses and hurriedly dodged.

"What do you know?" He asked Ye Chen, with a bit of guilt and anxiety in his tone, and took a special look at me.

Ye Chen still snorted coldly: "Your dog can't spit out ivory, I don't need to think about it to know!"

He swung his sword, and Wen Rentan smiled as he took his long sword: "It seems that you also know what's going on outside! Let me ask you, are you obsessed with Sheng from the beginning to the end?" Sheng has a clear conscience! If that ghost is still pregnant, get out as soon as possible!"

"You should get the hell out!" Ye Chen became angry suddenly, all of his originally hidden cultivation level was instantly activated, knocking Wen Rentan to the ground.

His body fell to the ground, smashing all the bluestone slabs in the yard into a big hole.I went up to him, and he struggled to crawl out of the hole with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Shengsheng..." He looked at me pitifully, I stretched out my hand to help him up, but Ye Chen cut off the beard first and took my hand directly.

Wen Rentan's hand that was about to reach out to me was clenched into a fist in anger, and was about to swing it down at Ye Chen's face.

Ye Chen took the first step to avoid me by hugging me, but he was only in vain.

He still wanted to pounce on me for a while, but I quickly stopped him: "Okay, don't make trouble."

"Shengsheng is eccentric!" Wen Rentan was not convinced.

Ye Chen smiled brightly: "Sheng Sheng is my wife, so my heart is naturally partial to me!"

Wen Rentan gave him a hard look.

I hurriedly came out to talk to each other: "Now the whole underworld knows that you are the new city lord, so you can be the new city lord with peace of mind. If you don't want to take care of things, it's okay, anyway, with the help of Ge Laohui and Xing Boxiao, you can still be the same as before For play."

"I have always guarded Youcheng for you." Wen Rentan stared at me, as if I was the only one in his world.

"Shengsheng has me, so I don't lack your things." Ye Chen retorted disdainfully, and stood in front of me, blocking Wen Rentan's sight.

This ghost is so narrow-minded.

It's rare for Wen Rentan not to argue with him anymore, through Ye Chen, I can clearly feel his eyes are still on me.

I don't understand why he, who seems heartless, is so persistent sometimes.

I sighed: "Wen Rentan, about You City, I still mean it last time. You are the lord of the city, so it belongs to you. I don't have any big ambitions, and now I want to find out the truth about the destruction of the Lu family. , to restore the Lu family’s innocence. You did not participate in the destruction of the Lu family, and I have no objection to you becoming the new city lord of Youcheng.”

No matter where it is, the capable live there, and Mo Yuan can rest assured that Wen Rentan will take over Youcheng during my absence, which means that he recognizes his ability.

Moreover, in the past 2000 years, although Wen Rentan has not been in Youcheng for a long time, he still manages Youcheng in an orderly manner, which further proves his extraordinary ability.

Such a person shines everywhere.If he is the Lord of You City, You City will not lose money.

Wen Rentan didn't respond, Ye Chen gently tugged at my hand, obviously implying that he suspected that Wen Rentan had something to do with the destruction of Lu's family.

"If you really want to help Shengsheng, tell me everything you know." Ye Chen said suddenly.

Wen Rentan met his eyes, and not to be outdone, replied in the same tone: "Can you guarantee that you didn't hide anything from Shengsheng?"

Ye Chen's face darkened: "I have nothing to hide from Sheng Sheng."

"Oh, is that so?" Wen Rentan sneered, "Did you dare to say that you and Shengsheng met for the first time in the Land of Long Howls and it was really just a chance encounter?"

Ye Chen's intertwined fingers with mine tightened slightly, and he asked Wen Rentan: "If it's not a chance encounter, what is it?"

Wen Rentan looked at me, seeing that I still trusted Ye Chen as before, he was inexplicably agitated, and immediately questioned Ye Chen: "When we first met, I gave Sheng Sheng a betrothal gift to go to Lu's house. ?”

"Can't you?" Ye Chen asked back, his momentum was not inferior to Wen Rentan's, but the hand he was holding with me kept tightening, almost crushing my hand.

"You forced me." Wen Rentan watched him spit out these words one by one, then looked at me again, "Shengsheng, he planned it from the beginning!"

Ye Chen interrupted loudly before he finished speaking: "You are talking nonsense!"

"You're clearly interested in the power of the Lu family. Otherwise, why did you not only refuse the old Yejun's marriage to Yaoyao in the first place, but also push it to Yeran?"

Ye Chen's complexion suddenly turned extremely ugly, his body almost trembled a little, looking at Wen Rentan, his eyes were completely red.

"How do you know?" He gritted his teeth and asked, his voice trembling.

For a moment, my heart seemed to be hit hard by some blunt instrument.

"Hmph! Not only do I know this, but I also know that after the Lu family's army has practiced, you feel that the Lu family is profitable, and that the Lu family army can help you gain a foothold in the Ye family, so Yao Yao agreed to marry you!"

"Shut up!" Ye Chen suddenly let go of my hand, swung his sword and rushed towards Wen Rentan.

Wen Rentan dodges dangerously, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and immediately swung his sword to meet him.

Ye Chen's blow just now was a killer move, if he hadn't dodged it, the inner alchemy would have shattered right now.

The two of them have fought against each other so many times, and they have always been on point. This is the first time that Ye Chen has murderous intent.

Looking at the two ghosts fighting for their lives in the sky, my hands and feet suddenly became cold.

Wen Rentan's words hit Ye Chen's Achilles' heel.With Ye Chen's personality, if Wen Rentan had created something out of nothing, he would never be so angry. He didn't even give me an explanation, and hurriedly wanted to clean up Wen Rentan.

It turns out that he really just wanted to use me at first...

The funny thing is, now that my heart is clear, I still want to excuse Ye Chen.He probably just wanted to take advantage of him at the beginning, but he was really moved in the subsequent relationship, right?
I am a person with very low requirements. As long as he is sincere to me now, I don't care if he had other purposes before.

I tried my best to convince myself, seeing Ye Chen and Wen Rentan's strikes were heavier than the other, fearing that something might happen to them, I quickly stopped: "You guys stop beating! Stop beating!"

But neither of the two ghosts listened to me.

Annoyed, I used my magic power to transmit my voice to them: "If you continue to fight, I will return to the world alone, and I will never talk to you again! I will do what I say!"

In an instant, the two ghosts, who were fighting each other inseparably, separated far away like same-sex magnets.

Ye Chen rushed to my side at the first moment and hugged me into his arms: "Shengsheng, don't go! You promise you won't leave me! Don't go!"

It was the first time I saw him so flustered.

I nodded, and saw that Wen Rentan wanted to come over, but seeing Ye Chen holding me, he retracted his left foot that had already stepped forward.

"Yechen, I'm not leaving. Let go of me, I can hardly breathe..."

The strong embrace that imprisoned me was only slightly loosened, giving me a little room to breathe.

"Shengsheng... I'm sorry..." Ye Chen sighed, and hugged me tightly again, "I am sincere to you. In this life, I have always been sincere."

"Hmm..." I believed him.Otherwise, the Lu family has already fallen to this point, and there is absolutely no need for him to treat me so well.

Wen Rentan stood behind Ye Chen but shook his head at me.

I planned to ignore him, but he was dissatisfied: "Yechen, are you sincere to Shengsheng? If she wasn't Yaoyao, would you still treat her like this?"

"Why not?" Ye Chen was annoyed when he heard his voice, but thinking of what I said just now, he resisted the urge to beat up Wen Rentan.

"Is your sincerity towards Shengsheng, or the mana in her body? The Black Fox Ling can only be driven by the mana of Lu's family. And Shengsheng is currently the only person who may know where the Black Fox Ling is!"

"I have so many ghosts and talents in the Changshou Iron Guard, I don't need the Black Fox Ling!"

"Then why did you go to Lu's family to hire in such a hurry?" Wen Rentan asked angrily, "Aren't you afraid that Shengsheng would be taken first by other aristocratic families and take away your favorite Lu family army!"

"I'm looking for someone from Shengsheng!" Ye Chen emphasized loudly, wishing he could tear Wen Rentan into pieces.

Wen Rentan snorted coldly: "There are not many ghosts who know the secrets of Lu's army, so let me ask you, do you know that Lu's army is controlled by the black fox?"
