Upon hearing Old Chen's words, Ye Qing's heart stirred instantly.
Is this old guy finally telling the truth? Is he on the run? From what? Is someone pursuing him? What is this old guy's background, what complicated relationships does he have, why would someone be after him? Who are the pursuers? What is their strength? From their strength, we can gauge Old Chen's abilities.
Ye Qing had long suspected that Old Chen's background was not ordinary. After all, he was found inside the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Although he repeatedly claimed he entered by accident, Ye Qing didn't quite believe him. Accidentally entered, when others couldn't even with intent over thousands of years? Who are you kidding?
And then there's the matter at Xiliang Mountain. Old Chen clearly fell off the cliff, yet ended up lively outside the mountain. He claimed he was saved by hanging onto a tree, but those were his words, and Ye Qing wasn't necessarily convinced.
