Chapter 22 Hai Bodong's Choice
"Hey, old man Bing, I never thought you would have this day!"

In the backyard of Gutu's shop, Reina and Lin Sen were circling around Hai Bodong, who had a very unhappy look on his face. The person who was talking was Reina.

Looking at Reina with a mocking look on his face and Lin Sen who was a little more restrained, Hai Bodong snorted in anger, but he had no choice but to pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea. What else could he do?
At the moment, with his current strength of a Dou Ling, he is no match for the two Dou Wangs, Reina and Lin Sen. Not to mention that this guy Reina got such an inheritance from somewhere, and his strength has greatly increased. I am afraid he can barely fight with the Dou Huang.

As for Lin Sen standing aside, seeing his appearance and Reina's attitude, Hai Bodong had some vague guesses in his mind, fearing that the two were about the same in strength.

Although the origins of these inheritances seemed incredible, Hai Bodong still believed in his intuition—it should be the young man in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Okay, Reina, you two should stop talking."

Yang Chen coughed lightly, making the two gloating guys quiet down. Then he turned to look at Hai Bodong, without saying a word, just looking at him with a smile on his face.

At times like this, whoever spoke first would inevitably be put in a passive position, and coincidentally, Yang Chen never liked things to be controlled by others.

Hai Bodong saw that Yang Chen was hesitant to speak, but just smiled and sipped his tea. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. The young man in front of him was the only hope he saw at the moment.

"I wonder why you are here today?"

"My Zhenjun Palace has just been established. I wonder if the Ice Emperor is interested?"

Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Yang Chen spoke in a seemingly casual tone, without saying anything else, and without proposing any corresponding conditions or the like.

But after hearing this, Hai Bodong stopped dead in his tracks. He knew that this was not only an invitation, but also most likely a deal. If he agreed to join the so-called Zhenjun Palace, the other party would probably help him break the seal in his body.

But Hai Bodong felt somewhat resistant in his heart. As a Douhuang powerhouse, even though he was sealed now, Hai Bodong still had a sense of pride in his heart. Facing Yang Chen's behavior of 'taking advantage of others' and 'looting from the fire', he was still very indignant in his heart.

Although Hai Bodong longed to regain his strength, it was extremely difficult for him to bow his head and work for others. In fact, if he had not been sealed for so many years, causing Hai Bodong great torture, he would have turned against them on the spot if he had just been sealed.

Seeing Hai Bodong's hesitation, and even a hint of resistance, Yang Chen just smiled, stood up and spoke.

"Yang Chen has always disliked forcing others to do things against their will. Since the Ice Emperor is unwilling, then Yang Chen will take his leave. The continent is vast, yet you and I have met. As the saying goes, meeting is fate. I will give this to the Ice Emperor. Of course, if the Ice Emperor doesn't believe me, you don't have to."

After Yang Chen introduced himself, he placed a jade bottle on the table, then stood up and clasped his fists towards Hai Bodong. Afterwards, he turned around and left without any hesitation. His quick and decisive back was so quick that not only Hai Bodong, but even Reina and Lin Sen were unable to react for a moment.

When Yang Chen was about to leave the store, Lin Sen and Reina hurriedly followed him. Before leaving, Reina couldn't help but reach out and pat Hai Bodong on the shoulder and said.

"Old Bing, Second Master is kindhearted. Not only did he not hold a grudge against us, he even gave you the elixir. But after you recover your strength, if you dare to disrespect me in any way, I will crush your skull with my own hands!"

As he spoke, Reina clenched his fist threateningly, and lightning flashed around his fist. Then he walked away without looking back. It could be seen that his back seemed a little angry, and he was about to scold Hai Bodong for being tactless.

Staring blankly at the backs of Yang Chen and the other two as they left, Hai Bodong stood there in a daze. For a man as proud as he was, he never believed that there really were such 'foolish' people in the world who would directly give such precious treasures to an unrelated person for free.

But Yang Chen's back did not allow Hai Bodong to have any doubts in his heart. In fact, if he had even a little suspicion in his heart, he would feel a little guilty, because that was a kind of blasphemy to the other party.

Reaching out and pinching the cold jade bottle, feeling the powerful energy contained in it, Hai Bodong was silent for only two breaths, and then without any hesitation, he took the jade bottle to the underground secret room.

On the street outside Gutu's shop, after Reina and Lin Sen caught up with Yang Chen, Reina still had that indignant look on his face, but Lin Sen, who had been silent before, spoke in a low voice.

"Second Master, are you really going to give it to that old fox Hai Bodong like this? He's aloof and arrogant, I'm afraid he won't appreciate it. Why don't we..."

Lin Sen didn't say the rest of the words, but he made a gesture of wiping his neck. It might be difficult for him and Reina to kill an Ice Emperor, but killing the current Hai Bodong would be a piece of cake for him.

Reina's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded quickly in response. Although their Zhenjun Palace is now quite powerful, it will still be a bit troublesome if they face another Douhuang strong opponent.

“That’s right, Second Master, we can’t let him…” However, Reina had only said half of his words when he saw Yang Chen raising his folding fan. He could only smile awkwardly and swallow the rest of his words.

"Don't worry, I believe he will make a choice. What's more, I hope that the people who come are from the True Lord Palace, not the Ice Emperor."

Yang Chen smiled softly. He never liked to force others. Whether it was Hai Bodong or Yun Yun, he gave them time to make their own choices. But he believed that in the end, they would all choose Zhenjun Palace.

Strictly speaking, there were actually two agreements with Yun Yun. The first one was that Yang Chen and Yun Yun reached an agreement on Mount Yunlan, which was the marriage between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, and no outsiders were allowed to interfere.

Yun Yun, Yang Chen, the Yunlan Sect, the Nalan family... will not interfere. The final decision will be entirely decided by the two parties involved, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.

The second agreement was that Yun Yun would suppress some of the voices within the Yunlan Sect, so that the Yunlan Sect would not attack Xiao Yan and would not cause trouble for the Zhenjun Palace. As a condition, Yang Chen could help teach Nalan Yanran.

On Yunlan Mountain, Yun Yun did not agree immediately. After all, she was the leader of the Yunlan Sect. After all, the Yunlan Sect was where she grew up. Her teacher and the sect had raised her and taught her.

As the sect leader, Yun Yun felt that if she did this, it would be tantamount to cutting herself off from the sect, so she did not agree. Even though Yun Leng did not show any mercy to her as the sect leader in public, Yun Yun still did not make a choice.

But during the few days of sitting in the hall, Yun Yun gradually saw the situation of the Yunlan Sect clearly. She knew that if she did not agree, Yun Leng and others would definitely find ways to take revenge on Yang Chen, and Xiao Yan would definitely become their target.

Once the Yunlan Sect attacks Xiao Yan, the consequence will be that the Yunlan Sect will anger Yang Chen. At that time, flattening Yunlan Mountain will not be an empty talk, but in that case, Yang Chen will also need to worry about the threat of the Yunlan Sect to Xiao Yan and others at all times.

As the saying goes, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, so there is this agreement.

At least, in Yun Yun's opinion, this agreement is a good thing for Yang Chen, her, and the Yunlan Sect.

Even if she didn't consider her disciple Nalan Yanran, and only considered the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun had to suppress Yun Ling and the others, and prevent the Yunlan Sect from being destroyed at their hands. She could just consider it as repaying the kindness of her teacher and the sect for raising her.

Therefore, the day after Nalan Yanran came back, Yun Yun did not hesitate at all and quietly took Nalan Yanran down the mountain to meet Yang Chen.

This means that from now on, she will gradually become a stranger to the Yunlan Sect. Yun Yun can only hope that the Yunlan Sect will not become a mortal enemy of the Zhenjun Palace in the end, otherwise, she really doesn't know how to face it.

Even the leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yang Chen, was able to make the other party choose the Zhenjun Palace, not to mention Hai Bodong who did not have too many concerns.

After returning to the Alchemist Guild to rest for a night, the next day, the sky was just beginning to lighten. Yang Chen, who had changed into a black outer shirt and a white inner robe, had just arrived at the square where the flying monsters were docked. He saw Hai Bodong, who was wearing an ice-blue robe and had a completely changed temperament, standing next to the flying monster waiting. Reina and Lin Sen were chatting and laughing with Hai Bodong.

Seeing Yang Chen approaching from afar, Hai Bodong stopped talking on his own initiative, and with a serious and solemn expression, he bowed to Yang Chen from a distance, bowing slightly.

"I've met the second master."

"We're all family, no need to be so polite. Now that everyone is here, it's time for us to set off."

Yang Chen smiled and raised his hand to support Hai Bodong. After getting closer, he reached out and patted Hai Bodong's shoulder. Then he took the lead and landed on the back of the flying monster.

PS: Don’t be impatient, everything has its own pace. Things for your nephew need to be given little by little, some directly and some indirectly.

PPS: It is impossible to give things to irrelevant people for free. In fact, it has been written before. When Yun Yun met Nalan Yanran, she had already said "it's irrelevant anymore", which was already a clear indication.

Brothers, you have to believe in your uncle’s charm. He is a male god who can be a charming god among all the gods!

PPPS: The most important thing is that Uncle will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock tonight, so the update may be a few minutes late. I will definitely try my best to update it after it is on the shelves, and try to update it three times a day. The author dare not guarantee it, after all, sometimes something may happen. I can only say that I will work harder.

Therefore, I hope that everyone will support me and keep up with the latest updates. This author dare not ask for rewards, but only asks that you can vote for me.
