Entering Tang Ya's Heart

Entering Tang Ya...'s Heart

"Ye Chen, you said you came from a family of physicians. Does that mean you're really skilled in medicine?"

"I heard that some hereditary medical families are even better than healing-type Soul Sages~"

Upon hearing about Ye Chen's background, Tang Ya found herself admiring him even more.

"Hehe, I only know a little acupuncture. If there's a chance someday, I can help Sister Xiaoya unblock her meridians, improve circulation, and keep healthy~" Ye Chen said with feigned modesty.

"Sure, but you have to be gentle. I'm still very afraid of pain~" Tang Ya replied with a radiant smile, half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, it definitely won't hurt~" Ye Chen smiled faintly before asking with feigned curiosity, "Then, Sister Xiaoya, what do your family members do? Aren't they part of the Tang Sect?"

The instant Ye Chen asked that question, Tang Ya's smile vanished. She seemed to have recalled something heartbreaking, and her eyes began to redden.

"Ah, sorry, Sister Xiaoya. I didn't know... I'm sorry for bringing up something painful..."

Ye Chen hurriedly apologized.

He had only wanted to use this topic to deepen his relationship with Tang Ya. He had not expected her to start crying immediately...

How was he supposed to continue this conversation now?

"It's okay. You should have known about this anyway..."

"The Tang Sect was actually destroyed. It was wiped out by a second-rate sect called the Iron Blood Sect..."

Tang Ya wiped away her tears, but she still recounted the grudge between the Tang Sect and the Iron Blood Sect.

Restoring the Tang Sect's former glory was only secondary. Revenge was what truly mattered.

But if she wanted revenge, she first had to make the Tang Sect strong again.

That was the main reason she had been so eager to pull Ye Chen into the Tang Sect.

Although Bei Bei had promised to help her take revenge.

Bei Bei might be powerful, but who knew how many years it would take before he became strong enough to avenge her...

Sometimes, she even suspected that Bei Bei was merely feeding her empty promises.

That was why the Tang Sect urgently needed a disciple with formidable strength and monstrous talent. Ye Chen was practically a perfect fit.

Moreover, Ye Chen was far more handsome than Bei Bei. He could become the Tang Sect's standard-bearer and perhaps attract quite a few talented female disciples in the future...

"Sister Xiaoya, please accept my condolences..."

Ye Chen instinctively wrapped an arm around Tang Ya's shoulders and gently comforted her.

It was not that he was deliberately pretending. He was a transmigrator who knew everything, yet could not say it aloud.

Tang Ya had to tell him such secrets herself before he could "know" them. Otherwise, she would become suspicious.

Besides, only by letting Tang Ya tell him herself and then comforting her could he take advantage of her vulnerability...

After all, that was what Bei Bei had done back then.

Mu En might even have had a hand in planning it...

It was just that Bei Bei had not learned Mu En's ruthlessness and cunning.

Although Bei Bei liked Tang Ya, he could not bring himself to seek his family's help in avenging her. He had kept brushing her off, and that had gradually bred resentment in Tang Ya's heart.

Still, there was one thing Ye Chen felt he needed to be careful about. Tang Ya and Bei Bei were, after all, boyfriend and girlfriend. If Tang Ya took the initiative, that would be one thing...

But if Mu En discovered that he was seducing Tang Ya behind the scenes, or found out that Ye Chen intended to monopolize the Tang Sect, Ye Chen felt that Mu En would kill him without hesitation.

At that thought, Ye Chen suddenly felt a little guilty.

The only good news was that Mu En did not have many years left to live. It would not be too late to win Tang Ya over after Mu En died...

In any case, Ye Chen definitely would not develop feelings for Tang Ya right now. At most, they would be friends—very close friends.

After Mu En suddenly dropped dead, Ye Chen could let that friendship turn into something else...

Yet just as Ye Chen was considering retreating, Tang Ya had already leaned into his embrace...

"It's all right. It's already in the past. I'm already very happy that you can help me rebuild the Tang Sect~" Tang Ya forced out a smile, though her eyes remained red.

"Rebuilding the Tang Sect is too slow. I think the most urgent matter is helping you take revenge first," Ye Chen said gravely.

"Ah?"

Tang Ya froze slightly, not expecting Ye Chen to say that.

"Sister Xiaoya, I'm a very petty person. That Iron Blood Sect actually dared to bully my Sister Xiaoya? They're clearly courting death. I have to avenge this!"

"Besides, I'm now the Tang Sect Vice Sect Master. The hatred of a sect's destruction is irreconcilable!"

Ye Chen spoke with a face full of fury!

It was as though the people who had died were not Tang Ya's parents, but his own.

Seeing how much Ye Chen cared about her, Tang Ya was instantly overwhelmed by boundless emotion.

Especially when compared to Bei Bei's perfunctory attitude...

Whenever she brought up this matter, Bei Bei would casually brush her off, saying they should first restore the Tang Sect's glory, that they should wait until he had grown stronger and make long-term plans...

Then he would try to take her out to have fun, hoping she would forget about it.

Bei Bei simply did not understand what she wanted.

How could she possibly forget the hatred of her sect being destroyed and her family being murdered just because someone told her to?

Bei Bei had been born into a top-tier family and had never lacked food or clothing since childhood. She had even heard that he had an older sister who personally looked after him...

Naturally, he had never suffered like this, much less experienced the pain of losing family.

But Ye Chen could see through her thoughts. He understood the weakness hidden deep in her heart and kept comforting her.

That was what truly moved her.

"Ye Chen, we should think this through carefully. The Iron Blood Sect is still very powerful. You definitely aren't their match..."

"Besides, the Iron Blood Sect is located in Heaven Dou City. As students of Shrek Academy, it wouldn't be convenient for us to act..." Tang Ya advised softly.

Bei Bei usually used this excuse to brush her off.

If they wanted to destroy a sect within Heaven Dou City, the City Guard would definitely stop them.

The Iron Blood Sect had dared to ambush the Tang Sect only because they had paid a tremendous price to bribe the City Guard.

If she wanted revenge, it certainly would not be easy. The City Guard would surely interfere.

Although she was moved, it was precisely because of that that she did not want Ye Chen to take such a risk.

"If there's a grudge, settle it. Just hire assassins to kill a few of the Iron Blood Sect's core members. Why make such a big deal out of it?"

"As for our identities, we can just deny it to the death. Once they're dead, who would be willing to pick a fight with Shrek Academy?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly.

"Mm... wouldn't that be a little inappropriate..."

Tang Ya instinctively tugged at the corner of her clothes, feeling that it was rather violent.

At the same time, she secretly glanced at Ye Chen from the corner of her eye. Looking at his serious, furious profile, she found him exceptionally imposing and pleasing to the eye, and she could not help but like him from the bottom of her heart...

If only Bei Bei were like Ye Chen... No, if Bei Bei had even one-tenth of Ye Chen's boldness and decisiveness, she would not have felt so miserable.

Unfortunately, Bei Bei cared only about Shrek Academy's honor. He was terrified of bringing even the slightest loss upon Shrek Academy. Every time she mentioned this matter, he merely brushed it aside.

Bei Bei simply did not know what she wanted!

"Sister Xiaoya, don't worry. Leave revenge to me. Before the Freshman Assessment, I will destroy the Iron Blood Sect. When the time comes, I'll let you personally kill your enemies!" Ye Chen said with a solemn expression. As he spoke, he gently reached out and stroked Tang Ya's cheek, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you... Ye Chen..."

Tang Ya's eyes shimmered, filled with gratitude as she looked at Ye Chen.

"You're welcome. After all, you're my Tang Sect Master~" Ye Chen turned to meet Tang Ya's gaze, an inexplicable emotion flickering in his eyes.

The two drew closer and closer...
