Chapter Thirty-Three: Yuanyu Mountain

  Yuanyu Mountain is located in the north of the Imperial City, facing Beiwang Mountain, but its scenery is completely different from that of Beiwang Mountain.

  Beiwang Mountain stands like a sharp sword, towering into the clouds, and few people can fully appreciate the scenery on the mountain. Yuanyu Mountain is not only half as high as Beiwang Mountain, but also has layers of dark clouds hovering above it all year round, resulting in plenty of rain, hence its name!

  As soon as I entered the range of Yuanyang Mountain, I felt like I had entered a dark place. Looking into the distance, it was sunny and clear everywhere, making people can't help but marvel at the magic of nature.

  The mountain range receives a lot of rainfall, naturally making the road to the top treacherous. Even what is called a "road" is not really a road, and with excessive humidity, the climate and environment in the Rainy Mountain are also vastly different from other places.

  Therefore, unless necessary, few people would go to Yuanshan, and gradually, this mountain also became a place of absolute danger in the minds of many people on the edge of the Imperial City of the Great Hua Empire.

  The arduous climb on the mountain trail, even with the cool breeze, Chen Ye couldn't help but wipe away the sweat dripping down his forehead from time to time. Looking up at the peak still a long distance away, Chen Ye let out a soft sigh.

  Ye Shuo lives in Huaqingchi, a place that seems to be prosperous, but actually, it is quite disreputable among the elders of various major aristocratic families in the Imperial City. In the world of martial arts, being too indulgent in such a place of vanity is itself a symbol of degeneration.

  Yu Rong lived on Yuanshan Mountain, this environment undoubtedly has great benefits for tempering one's mind and cultivating martial arts.

  Tie Yitian's move will earn him a badge of honor in the hearts of many, but such an environment is not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

  Ye Shuo chose a place different from Tie Yi Tian, but the two people's hearts are the same. They all closed themselves off after their own North Mountain incident occurred many years ago and chose to leave the world.

  Zhen Ye knew that they did this in the hope of one day being able to help themselves.

  Having such brothers, Chen Ye should have been very comforted, but he didn't want his brothers to bear the pressure and suffering that they shouldn't have borne for him!

  In the imperial capital, Ye Jia's third son Ye Shuo and Tie Jia's young master Tie Yitian have such prestige and inspire such awe. If they set their minds to it, with their backgrounds, they would easily achieve great things!

  However, these two people chose a completely different path for him, and this path was one they had never taken before.

  Just as he was struggling to climb up, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, and although it was very difficult for it to land on his body, it still made Chen Ye feel a thread of warmth.

  "The sun is out!"

  Because Yuanshan is often shrouded in dark clouds, even when the sun is shining brightly, it rarely shines on the mountain range. Tonight's weather seems to be quite good.

  With the help of still passable eyesight, Chen Ye's energy was even better. In the blink of an eye, he could vaguely see that on the mountain peak, a figure slowly emerged from the clouds...

  As he got closer to the top of the mountain, the figure became clearer in Chen Ye's eyes.

  He was a young man of only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he had a robust physique like an iron tower, his upper body was covered with perfectly connected muscles that were as clear-cut as blocks, making him look like an indestructible tank just by his physique alone.

  At this moment, he was cultivating with his heart turned to heaven, but when Zhen Ye glanced back at him with a faint gaze, his face changed immediately.

  Originally, the young man sitting at this end had a huge stone on his back that was larger than himself, locked with iron chains and firmly fixed to his upper back.

  He had never been so hard on himself, even though he had changed his cultivation method to physical training after the spiritual energy path was blocked.

  This young man reminds me of Ye Shuo, whose cultivation must have been just as all-out.

  "Brothers, is it that you've put so much pressure on yourselves or have I made you worry all day and night?"

  In the still of night, a deep sigh escaped, memories rapidly rising in my mind.

  At that time when the Chen family was in such a difficult situation, all of the old friends and acquaintances of the Chen family were too busy to care for others, with everyone's heart racing, only thinking of self-preservation. In the end, at the critical moment, the only ones who dared to come and rescue them were two childhood good brothers, Ye Shuo and Tie Yitian!

  Without exception, the two brothers, after watching themselves being sent out of the Imperial City by Old Master, let out a sigh of relief and burst into laughter. They turned around and charged into the enemy crowd, fighting hard to kill the enemy, just to win more time for their own departure.

  "Who?"

  Tie Yi Tian, who was concentrating on his cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a loud roar. With a swift motion, he grabbed the massive boulder behind him with both hands, holding it as if it were weightless, before slamming it down heavily in front of him.

  "Is it really you at dawn?"

  After seeing the figure that turned out, Tie Yitian was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed, his body moved, and he charged forward like a tank, with the stone he threw out earlier being smashed into small pieces by his powerful impact, instantly shattering and falling to the ground.

  "Haha, Chen Ye!"

  Tie Yitian burst out laughing, opening his arms wide, and then picked up Chen Ye, who was already considered a grown adult in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Tie Yitian, he was no different from a little kid.

  "Yitian, I'm out of breath."

  "Oh, oh, sorry, I'm too happy." Tye Tian smiled and let go of Chen Ye, then looked at the latter, only to laugh uncontrollably.

  After a long while, the laughter finally stopped, and then asked: "Why did you come here looking for me today?"

  As soon as the words were spoken, Tie Yitian's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "What happened to you? Is someone in the Imperial City going to harm you? What is Ye Shuo eating? He has always been paying attention to you, how could he still let you take risks and come here?"

  His brother's concern made Chen Ye feel a warm pain in his heart, and he quickly explained the whole situation.

  "It turned out to be like this." After hearing, Tie Yitian slightly let out a breath and said: "Fortunately, Ye Shuo that kid didn't mess up, otherwise, I would have to give him a good beating."

  At this point, Tie Yitian's face tightened and he said seriously: "Chen Ye, some things have already been told to you by Ye Shuo, so I don't want to say more. With just one word from you, after I go down the mountain, will we three brothers reunite again for the sake of the Imperial City, or will we give up on our childhood dreams of adventuring together?

  At these words, Chen Ye's eyebrows suddenly locked, he didn't expect that this question, Ye Shuo didn't ask, but actually the simpler Tie Yitian asked it out.

  "Yi Tian..."

  Tie Yitian suddenly waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "We three have grown up together since childhood. You've been silent for so long, what does it mean? I already understand. Probably Ye Shuo didn't ask you this question, that's because I'm not as clever as him, so I need to ask one more sentence to know your thoughts!"

  Suddenly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in the dead of night!

  Facing the vast sky, Tie Yi Tian said calmly: "Chen Ye, you have your own difficulties and unwillingness, but you should know that I and Ye Shuo also have our own principles. Since you don't want to involve your brothers in everything, then in the future, what I and Ye Shuo do, you shouldn't interfere with either."

  "Yi Tian?"

  "It's getting late, let's head down the mountain, or Ye Shuo will get anxious waiting for us!"

  Chen Ye couldn't help but shake his head, just as he was about to follow Tie Yitian down the mountain. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked in a hurry: "Yitian, how long has Liu Ru been following Ye Shuo?"

  "Miss Liu?" Tiewu Tian turned around and smiled: "What's wrong, you have doubts about her?"

  In front of his brother, Chen Ye didn't need to hide anything. In the Huaqing Pool, Liu Ruo walked down with a gentle smile, every move full of charm and elegance. When those autumn-water-like eyes swept over him, Chen Ye clearly felt a hint of subtle seduction.

  This feeling is similar to when the Second Prince used it on him!

  If it weren't for Chen Ye's innate talent and the help of the small knife, he wouldn't have been able to escape from under the gaze of the Second Prince, let alone discover the unusual aspects of Liu Ruyi.

  Tie Yitian smiled and said: "Chen Ye, this future sister-in-law of ours is indeed not simple, but don't worry, she's genuinely sincere towards Ye Shuo!"
