Free Web NovelChapter 327: Chapter 327: What do you like about her _1
Ye Ming’s reaction left Lin Mengdie feeling extremely surprised.
She hadn’t expected that, despite her proactivity, Ye Ming could reject her so decisively, with not a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Why on earth was that?
Frowning, Lin Mengdie asked, "Why? Why would you reject me, is it because of that woman you were talking to just now?"
Ye Ming did not deny it, replying directly, "She has a name, her name is Xu Lele."
Lin Mengdie continued to probe, "Does she also have a marriage arrangement with you?"
Ye Ming nodded.
Lin Mengdie’s heart sank, but still not giving up, she asked, "Then what do you like about her?"
She envied the woman Ye Ming spoke of, and wanted to know what was so special about her that made Ye Ming reject herself for her.
After pondering for a while, Ye Ming said seriously, "When we first met, I had nothing, and I was in a very sorry state."
"At that time, I was penniless and destitute. My previous girlfriend despised me for being poor and even cheated on me, which was a blow to me. After all that, I had completely lost hope in my own life." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"It was her arrival that gave me the courage to continue living. She was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating my life. She supported and trusted me unconditionally, so I am determined about her."
Lin Mengdie didn’t pick up the thread but instead asked, "But I seem to have heard that there is another woman with Xu Lele. Does she, too, have a marriage arrangement with you?"
Ye Ming nodded without hiding anything, "She did have a marriage arrangement with me before, but like you, that engagement has been broken off, so there is no longer any relationship between us."
"Like me?" Suddenly, as if understanding something, Lin Mengdie quickly handed back the marriage certificate and hurriedly said, "Don’t you talk nonsense now, I am not like her; the marriage certificate is still in your hands."
"I was just asking casually, don’t drag me in that direction."
Lin Mengdie was very sensitive about their relationship, especially in such matters.
She was just curious, feeling that the relationship between Xia Ningning and Ye Ming was somewhat unusual.
Ye MIing felt a sense of impatience. He had made things so clear, yet Lin Mengdie was still clinging to hope, determined to continue this with him.
He sighed and asked, "Then tell me, what exactly would it take to dissolve this engagement?"
Lin Mengdie’s eyes whirled as she began to formulate a strategy in her mind.
She said, "If I defeat you, I can break our engagement! But you have to fight me seriously."
"That’s practically null and void because you will never be able to defeat me!" Ye Ming didn’t fear hurting her pride and stated bluntly.
Lin Mengdie had no objections to that; having witnessed Ye Ming in action, she would not delude herself into thinking she could defeat him, no matter how conceited.
She continued, "Then I’ll just have to accompany you back and explain this matter clearly to my family, and then we can dissolve the engagement properly."
"After all, as a junior, I don’t have the final say in these matters of matchmaking."
Ye Ming nodded, feeling that this explanation made some sense.
He said, "Alright, that’s settled then. I’ll go to your house and explain things to your family, but, I’m afraid I’ll have to deal with some matters first."
"Before that, I need to take a trip to Wanhua Valley to clear up their matters."
Lin Mengdie nodded in understanding but then suddenly came to a realization and asked anxiously, "What did you say? You’re going to Wanhua Valley?"
"You’ve already fallen out with Elder Tao, why would you go to Wanhua Valley? They won’t let you off easily."
Ye Ming explained, "I didn’t just fall out with Elder Tao, I killed him."
The atmosphere plunged into a brief silence.
Lin Mengdie looked at Ye Ming with shock, her mouth agape.
Since Lin Mengdie had been taken away when Ye Ming and Elder Tao had their final showdown, she had no idea that Ye Ming had killed Elder Tao, and she found the news somewhat unbelievable.
"Ye Ming, you’re too audacious," she said. "This way, you’re completely burning bridges with Wanhua Valley; they’ll definitely come after you for retribution!"
Ye Ming nodded, "I understand that, but this matter was initiated by Wanhua Valley against me, I was forced to kill him."
"Just as you said, no matter what, I’ve already burned bridges with Wanhua Valley. Even if I don’t seek them out, they will come looking for trouble. Rather than waiting to die, it’s better to take the initiative and resolve this grudge once and for all."
Lin Mengdie shook her head repeatedly, thinking Ye Ming must be insane.
"Wanhua Valley is heavily guarded, not only do they have many experts present, but their own strength is also very formidable. Going there to settle scores, isn’t that asking for death?"
"You may have defeated the four major sects, but that doesn’t mean you can defeat them. Not to mention the four major sects, even the eight major sects might not be able to do much to Wanhua Valley!"
Lin Mengdie earnestly advised, "You mustn’t be reckless, this matter is serious, it’s not child’s play!"
Ye Ming smiled faintly and said, "I won’t underestimate myself, nor will I sit idly by. What I need to do now is to increase my strength, to a level that will allow me to contend with them!"
He had gained a lot from this herb conference, and utilizing this opportunity, he could arrange these herbs for use, create several elixirs, and enhance his strength.
He had been stuck at Lower Earth Rank for quite some time, and he believed this was his chance, an opportunity to climb higher.
By the way, he could use Wanhua Valley as a practice target, because in the near future, the Poison Sect of Nanjiang would be waiting for him.
If he could deal with Wanhua Valley, then the Poison Sect of Nanjiang should not be a problem either.
Lin Mengdie shook her head helplessly and said, "You’re simply too crazy, but I think you might be able to do it, I believe in you."
Having gone through several hardships, Lin Mengdie was full of trust and confidence in Ye Ming.
Moreover, after hearing what Ye Ming had said, Lin Mengdie felt inspired; she thought she should give Ye Ming some support. Although she was a latecomer, fate was unpredictable, and everything was possible. After all, Ye Ming wasn’t married yet, and she still had a chance.
After thinking it over, Lin Mengdie smiled and looked at Ye Ming very seriously, saying, "Whatever you decide to do, I’ll support you!"
