<h4>Chapter 1414: Chapter 1427</h4>


    Jian Chunqiu feigned a slight anger and red at Lin Dong, "Your curiosity about gossip, when will you ever change!"


    Lin Dong chuckled and scratched his head, "Master, just tell me, honestly, I’ve never heard you talk about my senior brothers’ stories. By the way, didn’t you say I’m yourst disciple?"


    Lin Dong suddenly remembered a problem and looked at Jian Chunqiu with some anxiety.


    Jian Chunqiu nodded, "I was nning to take you as my secluded disciple."


    "But what about this Ye Chen..."


    "This Ye Chen is your senior, he was before you. You kid, how can you get jealous?"


    Jian Chunqiu looked at Lin Dong with a smile and patted him on the back of the head.


    "I wasn’t." Lin Dong smiled shyly, "I was just curious to ask. So, what happened with my senior? Why did he leave the Sword Pavilion? I listened to a bit of your conversation just now and felt like between you two there’s... there’s a bit of..."


    Lin Dong didn’t finish his sentence, but Jian Chunqiu knew what he meant. He sighed, "This matter, to trace it back, is something that happened ten years ago."


    Jian Chunqiu looked up at the sky, his eyes a bit vacant, as if he was distracted, "Ten years ago, a mysterious organization appeared. It was called mysterious because it had no headquarters at the time, it was a wandering organization in the world of martial arts."


    "A wandering organization?"


    Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu in surprise, having been in the Kyoto Gossip World for so many years, he never heard there was a wandering organization ten years ago?


    "This wandering organization actually had a name, called Wufeng Pce, and not a single woman was among them."


    Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu in astonishment, "Really? Not a single woman? It truly lives up to its name of Wufeng Pce. What does this sect do? It couldn’t be some crooked path, could it?"


    Just after he spoke, he saw Jian Chunqiu’s face change, and he instinctively pursed his lips, "Ah? It really is a crooked path?"


    But thinking about it again, if it weren’t a crooked path, it wouldn’t be always maintaining mystery.


    "Master, you mean to say, my senior Ye Chen joined this crooked organization?"


    Jian Chunqiu shook his head, "He didn’t actually join that organization, he pretended to join for investigation, and I knew this clearly from the start, butter some things happened that changed the original ns."


    Jian Chunqiu and Lin Dong were chatting on the hotel balcony when suddenly they heard a hurried knock at the door.


    Jian Chunqiu and Lin Dong exchanged a nce, "Master, at this time, who woulde? Moreover, we don’t know anyone here."


    Jian Chunqiu stood up, "We’ll know once we see."


    Outside the door stood Ye Chen, holding two jugs of old wine, without anybels, clearly homemade.


    Jian Chunqiu was surprised that Ye Chen woulde with wine, a bit unexpected.


    "What, surprised to see me?" Ye Chen saw the surprise in Jian Chunqiu’s eyes and curved his lips into a slightly devilish smile before lifting the wine in his hand, "Would you like to try the rice wine I’ve brewed myself?"


    The two of them didn’t return to their room, but went to the rooftop together.


    Jian Chunqiu sat on the ground, his gaze looking into the distance, "I didn’t expect this Barbarian Land to be developed to such an extent, from the moment I got off the ne, I could see your Ye family’s businesses everywhere, spread throughout the city."


    Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Master, you actually care about these things."


    Jian Chunqiu suddenly turned to look at Ye Chen, with a deep look in his eyes, aplex light shing in them, "It’s been a long time since I heard you call me Master. I remember among all the disciples, you were the most outstanding, the best."


    Ye Chen sat on the ground, supporting himself with one hand, leaning back while looking up at the night sky.


    The stars twinkled, the night was deep.


    "What’s the point of saying these now? It’s all past, saying it now is just adding to the mncholy."


    Ye Chen’s voice was somewhat ethereal, all the hostility on him had dissipated, at this moment he was entirely like a twenty-seven or eight-year-old man showing respect to an elder.


    "Have you been welltely?" Ye Chen asked.


    Jian Chunqiu smiled, "What’s there to be about well or not, all old bones now, have lived a lifetime, long since seen through many things."


    "And about back then?" Ye Chen’s gaze was tight on Jian Chunqiu, "If back then you had your current Heart Sutra, how would you have handled it today?"


    His eyes were mixed with expectation and a trace of pain.


    Jian Chunqiu always treated Ye Chen as his own child, in fact, he was heartbroken to have acted the way he did back then.


    "It’s all in the past."


    After a while, Jian Chunqiu said, taking up the jug Ye Chen brought and tilting his head to take a big drink.


    Ye Chen also took a sip, a bitter smile on his lips, he asked, "How’s the wine?"


    Jian Chunqiu looked at the jug in his hand, nodding in approval, "This wine isn’t bad, you brewed it yourself?"


    Ye Chen nodded.


    "I remember the Ye family seems to have their own winery."


    Ye Chenughed, "This wine doesn’te from the winery, it’s brewed by myself, from preparation to finally bottling it into this jug, I did it all myself!"


    Jian Chunqiu looked at him in mild surprise, "You weren’t specially preparing this wine for me, were you?"


    Then he finished saying that, feeling it unlikely, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Just kidding."


    "Yes." Ye Chen sighed deeply, "Originally, I nned to send it to Spirit Mountain once it was brewed, but I didn’t expect you toe in person."


    Ye Chen sat up straight, looking at Jian Chunqiu with a serious look, "Master, your visit to the Barbarian Land this time, surely isn’t just to visit an expelled sinner, right?"


    Jian Chunqiu smiled at him, "You were expelled from the Sword Pavilion, and from Ancient Martial, but I’ve never expelled you from the sect."


    Ye Chen was momentarily dazed.


    "Hearing you call me Master just now, truthfully, it makes me a bit nostalgic."


    Jian Chunqiu sighed again and then got back to the point, "Actually, I dide this time to ask for your help with something."


    Seeing Jian Chunqiu be serious, Ye Chen spected in his heart, if even his Master couldn’t solve it, it must be truly tricky.


    However...


    "Master, if it’s something even you can’t solve, how could I possibly help? In terms of martial arts, in terms of cultivation, I’m not even one-fifth of you."
