Chapter 496: 493: How to Lie_1

Thinking of this, Yang Chen’s eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at Yuan San. Indeed, their Yuanshan Sect was powerless against the formidable Black Dragon Sect. However, that didn’t mean they had to fear Sun Star City on their own territory!

Yuan San naturally noticed Yang Chen’s gaze. Seeing Yang Chen staring at him like that, Yuan San felt somewhat guilty.

But soon, he twisted his neck and cursed quietly.

Why should he feel guilty?

A mere Yang Chen, a mere Half-step Yuan Martial Realm, even if Yuan San openly harmed this kid, could he really cause any big waves?

Yang Chen didn’t stare at Yuan San for too long. He didn’t think he could kill someone with a glare. When he turned his head back, he pretended to be terrified and said, “Thank you, Senior Mei, for saving my life.”

Mei Xiuying looked deeply into Yang Chen’s eyes, seemingly with sorrow and concern. After a long time of reminiscing, she stared intently at Yang Chen’s eyes, making his scalp tingle and causing him to become very uneasy before saying, “Yang Chen… Yang Chen, same name, even the eyes look so alike. Unfortunately, he is already dead, already dead!”

Yang Chen didn’t expect Mei Xiuying to speak like that, and his heart warmed.

Regardless, he never expected that Mei Xiuying could still remember him.

Remembering him was enough; it meant that he wasn’t wrong to care and think about her when she was young.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t reveal anything related to him to Mei Xiuying.

First, the matter of reincarnation was shocking to hear. If it were known, countless people would probably want to study him. Yang Chen didn’t think his reincarnation was a coincidence, but he was clueless about it, so he hadn’t mentioned it.

Second, no matter how well he treated Mei Xiuying back then, who knew what Mei Xiuying had become with the changes of the times? Perhaps she was on the same level with Hua Wanru, so he could only think about the worst possibilities, which left Yang Chen utterly helpless.

At the same time, Mei Xiuying tried to see Yang Chen’s expression changes after her short words, but she was disappointed.

Yang Chen showed no expression changes, which left her expressionless, looking at him, “Your name is Yang Chen?”

“Indeed, my name is Yang Chen,” Yang Chen replied.

“Who named you?” Mei Xiuying’s tone was harsh.

“Well… my parents,” Yang Chen said with a wry smile.

The people nearby were dumbfounded too, not understanding Mei Xiuying’s intentions. As for Yang Chen’s name, it was, of course, given by his parents.

Mei Xiuying knew her question was a bit reckless, but she had no choice.

Now that Yang Chen seemed not to be the Yang Chen she knew, Mei Xiuying sighed inwardly. Indeed, she must have been overthinking it. How could this Yang Chen be the same person as the one who once saved her from her humble life?

That person was the one who changed her life!

The difference was too great.

As Mei Xiuying thought about this, she couldn’t help but ask Yang Chen, “Yang Chen, there’s something you need to give me a reasonable explanation for. Who is your master? How does he know me? I don’t know many people, and I don’t have many disciples. You better explain it to me.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen felt a little awkward.

One troublesome thing after another, how was he supposed to answer this?

How could he have thought of this?

Now, only he could make up for the lies he had told. He gritted his teeth and tried to treat a dead horse as if it were alive, “Senior Mei, to be honest, I actually fabricated the story about my master knowing you out of thin air.”

“Fabricated out of thin air?” Jiang Caiying was stunned. “Yang Chen, why did you deceive me?”

Yang Chen said with a bitter smile, “Miss Jiang, if I didn’t deceive you at that time, you wouldn’t want to have a life-and-death battle with me, would you?”

Jiang Caiying didn’t know how to respond.

It was indeed the case.

The understanding of Yang Chen came later.

So, even though she could conclude that Yang Chen was not someone she would detest, that realization only came later. At that moment, she didn’t know about it and was indeed planning to have a life-and-death battle with Yang Chen, then grab his key after.

It wasn’t a big deal for Yang Chen to deceive her at that time.

Realizing this, Jiang Caiying looked awkwardly at her master, as it would be difficult for her if Yang Chen was punished for his deception.

Mei Xiuying didn’t rush to any conclusions. Instead, she looked at Yang Chen and said slowly, “Yang Chen, I don’t intend to hold your deception against you, as you didn’t hurt Caiying. On the contrary, Caiying was rewarded by Emperor Senior thanks to your help. However, there are some things that you still need to explain to me. For example, how did you know the name of this Rainbow Needle?”

Jiang Caiying suddenly remembered and looked at Yang Chen with her eyes locked on him. After she heard that her master did not blame him, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She considered Yang Chen as a friend of adversity, and asked, “Yeah, Yang Chen, you’re quite something, you even fooled me. Tell me, how did you know the name of this Rainbow Needle?”

The reason why she believed Yang Chen had shown genuine reason.

This Rainbow Needle was one of the reasons.

“Miss Jiang, when you use your cultivation method, the embroidery needle wrapped in ribbon looks like a rainbow, hence the two features: a rainbow and a needle. It shouldn’t be too difficult to guess,” Yang Chen said gently.

Jiang Caiying blinked her eyes. Although she was very reluctant, she couldn’t refute Yang Chen’s words.

Mei Xiuying then asked, “Throughout my life, I’ve always been low-key. Then tell me, how did you know my name? Moreover, how did you know I was Caiying’s master?”

Her words were indeed true.

Mei Xiuying had always been extremely low-key. Many people knew her surname Mei, but few knew her full name as Mei Xiuying. Like the Black Scorpion Envoy, who only addressed her as Mei Xianzi without knowing her real name. But Yang Chen directly stated her name.

“Senior Mei, to be honest, I obtained the memory of a genius who ventured into the Secret Realm and killed him. This genius was from Changning County…” Yang Chen recounted the story he had prepared in advance.

However, the persuasiveness of this story…
