260 Just Put on an Act

It wasn’t a secret that Ye Xuan was leaving for Changping. Other than the Dao Seeking Sect, there were many eyes keeping watch of his movements. Seeing him leave, many people secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, many of their elders were in the hands of those demonic beasts. The more time delayed, the more danger they would be in. However, nobody dared to send people to rush Ye Xuan, in fear that he would suddenly go back on his word.

Of course, these people didn’t completely trust Ye Xuan. They actually organized a group of people in secret. Not only were they ordered to pay attention to Ye Xuan’s actions, but they would also go to Changping to participate in the rescue mission.

With Ye Xuan’s keen senses, he naturally noticed these little tails behind him, but he didn’t care.

Yi chengrui and the others in Changping had also received the news that Ye Xuan was on his way. They hurriedly began to prepare and went out of the city early in the morning to welcome him. This kind of formation and treatment obviously much better than what the group of people before had received.

A beam of divine light streaked across the sky like a rainbow bridge. At the same time, a vague figure appeared. As time passed, the figure gradually became clearer.

In the crowd, there were also a few people who were in a bad mood. They had a grim expression, and their eyes were dark and gloomy, as if they had suffered a great blow. They were the disciples and elders who had escaped from the demonic beasts’ forest with great difficulty.

Because Qian Yuan didn’t think much of these people’s strength, he had been kind enough to let them out. As for those grand elders and some of the stronger ones, they weren’t so lucky.

“He’s just an elder from a small sect. What’s wrong with the people in Changping? Even if Ye Xuan saved them before, they shouldn’t be like this.”

“There’s a letter from Jingdu saying that Ye Xuan will help us rescue the others.”

Everyone’s expression turned even darker.

“Is there something wrong with those people in Jingdu? Ye Xuan isn’t even at sky rank, what help can he be? You must know that even the grand elders have suffered, let alone him.”

“And didn’t our sect have a conflict with Ye Xuan before? We even said that he colluded with demonic beasts before. Why is it now…”

Those disciples still didn’t know that in the short time they had been in Changping, great changes had already taken place in Jingdu. To be more precise, it was the attitude of all the sects towards Ye Xuan.

The rest of the people could not believe it. Facing the doubts of his companions, the disciple rolled his eyes, “If you don’t believe me, then contact your own sect. Why would I lie to you? ”

Those people were still suspicious, but the information from Jingdu could not be a lie. The expressions on their faces were even more despairing, as if the world had become a fantasy.

The other people in Changping didn’t care what they thought.

“It’s Elder Ye!”

“Elder Ye is here!”

The excitement in their words was enough to show how high Ye Xuan’s prestige was here.

The moment Ye Xuan got off the flying magic weapon, he was almost surrounded by enthusiastic people. If Yi Chengrui didn’t come to help him, he would have been squeezed around for a while.

“Elder Ye has come to Changping to discuss some matters. Everyone, please don’t delay the important matters.”

Hearing Yi Chengrui’s words, everyone reluctantly left. Before leaving, they didn’t forget to gift Ye Xuan various items.

The two of them entered the meeting hall. Yi Chengrui ordered that no one was allowed to enter and set up a barrier around them. Then, he bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

“Many thanks to Elder Ye for helping us deal with it. I am truly unable to repay your great kindness.”

Judging from the attitudes of the grand elders and Changping, ye Xuan must have suffered a lot of pressure in the capital, and even rumors.

Yi Chengrui had previously asked around and found out that these people didn’t have a good impression of Ye Xuan. From their speech and actions, it seemed that they even had hostility and hatred towards him. It could be seen that Ye Xuan had a lot of enemies. In addition, the matter of Changping had made it even more difficult for him.

“Actually, I didn’t do anything. City Lord, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Ye Xuan helped Yi Chengrui up. Hearing this, Yi Chengrui was even more touched.

“Elder Ye has helped us enough. First, he saved us from the abyss of suffering. Then, he gave us ideas. The people of Changping pretended to be sick and recuperated. That’s how we avoided trouble.”

The group of people in Jingdu who went to find trouble with the demonic beasts were almost completely annihilated. In the end, only a few returned. Previously, Yi Chengrui was still worried that the demonic beasts would vent their anger on them and once again form a beast tide to attack Changping.

However, not to mention the beast tide, he didn’t even see the shadow of a few demonic beasts. Those demonic beasts also didn’t show any intention of taking the initiative to attack humans. Yi Chengrui was relieved.

He would never believe that it wasn’t because of Ye Xuan. Otherwise, according to the demonic beast’s style of doing things, they would have already started to take revenge.

“Changping should protect itself by not participating. Otherwise, even I wouldn’t be able to save you.”

Yi Chengrui nodded profusely. “Exactly. We just want to live a peaceful life. We are extremely satisfied with the signed treaty and don’t dare to have any other thoughts. But Jingdu…”

He sighed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. “Forget it, it’s better not to mention it. I can’t control those people’s thoughts, and I can’t interfere.”

Yi Chengrui was a little curious. He knew the purpose of Ye Xuan’s visit this time, so he was also a little surprised and confused.

“Elder Ye, I didn’t expect that you would actually agree to come and save people.”

Ye Xuan’s expression was unfathomable. “Of course I’m here to bury the hatchet.”

If all the people in the capital died here, the others might do something irrational in order to take revenge. If a large-scale conflict broke out between the demonic beasts and the humans, the final result would only be a mutual loss.

This wasn’t Ye Xuan’s original intention, and he didn’t want to see this happen.
