Thinking so far, Tang Bo's gaze slowly shifted back to Yechen's face.
What happened just now made him realize once again that the person in front of him is indeed far different from the boy a year ago...
Undoubtedly, within a year, Yechen's strength has crossed countless steps.
If he was allowed to face that group of lunatic knights back then, Tang Bo believed that even if five of them fought together, there was a high probability that they would not be able to last half a minute in Yechen's hands.
Although there is no definite basis, this has become an idea in Tang Bo's mind.
Then, looking at Ye Chen, who had just saved his group, who was cleaning his body deftly, Tang Guo, who had been curled up beside Tang Bo because of fear of life, immediately summoned up a little courage and offered it to Ye Chen. Drink a cup of hot water.
"Big brother, drink this and be careful not to catch a cold."
Ye Chen glanced at the girl in surprise, then showed a kind smile, and gently took the cup from Tang Guo's hand.
"Thank you."
He responded politely to the girl.
Tang Guo blushed, and quickly withdrew her hands, looking a little at a loss.
While Tang Bo observed this scene, the emotions in his eyes immediately became complicated.
In the past, he had dealt with Olympian hunters a lot, so not only was he familiar with the strange power of this group of people, but he was also used to the way they handled things.
And in the elite level of the hunting group, there are such a large number of people. Should it be said that they are arrogant or ignore ordinary people...
All in all, although they will seriously act according to the entrustment of the hunting group, they will not specifically ask about the driver's condition like Ye Chen did before, nor will they respond to the girl in a friendly way like Ye Chen is now.
If you can protect it, you will naturally protect it, but if you can't protect it, you simply wave your hands and let it go.
It seems that there is some kind of insurmountable gap between themselves and ordinary people. Even if the guard target dies due to an accident, they will not even show any sadness or regret, as if they are looking at ants. He doesn't care about the safety of ordinary people, but instead feels annoyed and unhappy about the evaluation of his own task settlement.
However, fortunately, although his strength and status have been greatly improved, Yechen's personality still seems to be not much different from a year ago.
At the very least, bloodsmith hunters have been able to show polite respect to the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce and his party so far.
I hope he can keep it like this forever...
Seeing Yechen drinking water, still showing an ordinary appearance, Tang Bo couldn't help praying in his heart.
Chapter 0479
With the help of the bloodsmith hunters, the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce convoy safely drove away from the heavy raining loess mountains, and then galloped on the flat and safe plain road again, and then continued towards Hunter Town.
Through the previous performance of turning the tide, Yechen has officially won the awe and admiration of all the Kingfisher merchants.
Faced with the enthusiastic reception from everyone, Yechen himself was humble and friendly, and his words and deeds did not mean to belittle ordinary people like them, but he also got along with everyone happily.
And Tang Bo's daughter, Tang Guo, also changed her previous attitude because of Yechen's friendly character, and gradually became closer to Yechen, always sticking to him and asking questions, and was very fascinated by the relationship between the hunting group and Hunter Town. culture.
The incident of meeting and helping each other that happened a year ago made Tang Bo attach great importance to Yechen. Now, after seeing the other party getting along with his daughter passionately, he couldn't help but feel a little more in his mind as a father. Be careful.
Yechen has delicate features, is mature and stable, and is young and promising. Such an outstanding young man is completely enough to be called one in a thousand.
Therefore, if it was him, Tang Bo could safely entrust his daughter to him...
It just so happens that the age gap between the two is not that big!
So, with such good thoughts in mind, Tang Bo soon began to make tentative inquiries to Yechen while his daughter was not present on the next journey.
"Yechen, do you have someone now?"
Seeing the young man denying it, Tang Bo was overjoyed, and immediately stopped beating around the bush and asked straight to the point:
"In that case... what do you think of my daughter?"
After hearing this, Ye Chen instantly understood Tang Bo's meaning, his expression was surprised for a while, and then he shook his head with a wry smile and responded:
"Mr. Tang Bo, you shouldn't talk to me about this kind of thing."
Seeing this, Tang Bo's face suddenly became a little stiff, and he quickly added:
"Hey, don't be so hasty to draw conclusions. Although Tang Guo is still young, she is exquisite and cute. She must be a beauty embryo in the future. What's more, she has awakened the power of the arcane, and she will probably stay in the hunter's house in the future. Zhen, in this way, you will have mutual support! Don’t you really think about it?”
As a result, Yechen responded unhurriedly:
"No, Mr. Tang Bo, you may have misunderstood me..."
"I'm not saying that there's nothing wrong with Tang Guo, but that you simply found the wrong person to talk to..."
"For you who want your daughter to live a stable life, I, or us Olympian hunters, can be said to be the worst choice..."
"You should also understand that our group of so-called hunters, although the job rewards are generous and the social status is noble, all the results are replaced by the risks in the mission."
"As far as I am concerned, when performing maze tasks in the future, I may die suddenly in the wilderness of the maze anytime, anywhere, and end up with no whole body."
"For me who is so insecure, are you still at ease entrusting your daughter?"
After hearing Yechen's words, Tang Bo was stunned and fell into a deep silence.
"..."
The corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he subconsciously glanced at his daughter who was still sitting and resting on the lawn outside the car window, and then slowly returned to Yechen's calm and calm face.
"But, but... Yechen, you will always retire in the future, right?"
Tang Bo faltered and asked, at this moment, the topic he and Yechen had broken away from the original marriage, and then expanded to a more serious topic.
"You can't always be like this in the future, performing the dangerous work of a hunter on the front line all the time?"
"As long as there are no accidents..."
"One day, you will always have the chance to enjoy a peaceful and happy life, won't you?"
After listening to Tang Bo's questioning, Yechen didn't speak for a long time.
"Peace and happiness...?"
Then, under Tang Bo's surprised eyes, he lowered his head and repeated the sentence in a low voice, and then smiled casually.
"Mr. Tang Bo..."
Ye Chen raised his face again, stared at Tang Bo with those bright eyes, and then made his own declaration.
"Regardless of whether there will be accidents in the future..."
"Unless I am accidentally disabled, or too old to walk..."
"Otherwise, I would never take the initiative to choose to retire."
"What kind of peaceful and happy retired life, I personally have no interest in this."
"So, I don't want to start a family now, because the so-called family will only become a burden that makes me fear and resist death in the future."
"I just want... to carry on as a hunter who has nothing and no fear."
"If you can……"
"I want it to be forever, until my death."
When he said these words, the young man's face appeared extremely serious and serious.
The corners of Tang Bo's eyes twitched again.
Immediately afterwards, his eyebrows were filled with completely incomprehensible confusion.
"Why... do you think so?"
"Yechen..."
"What is the reason that made you paranoid to such an extent?"
Tang Bo's lips trembled slightly, and he finally expressed his inner doubts.
"..."
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, and gave his answer firmly in his eyes.
"In order to exterminate the abyss."
He took a deep breath, and then added something softly.
"That's the primary meaning of my life."
……
Three days later, the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce successfully arrived at the end of the business journey - Hunter Town.
Stopped at the spacious and elegant station, and the guys from the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce immediately started unloading the goods, while the boss Tang Bo took his daughter to stand at the gate of the station and bid farewell to Yechen:
"Ye Chen, thanks to your help on this journey, everyone was able to survive the disaster, and the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce also avoided a large loss. Thank you so much."
Yechen responded with a smile:
"You're welcome, Mr. Tang Bo, this is just my job."
Seeing that Ye Chen was still as quiet and friendly as usual, Tang Bo's eyes flashed with complex emotions, and then he suggested to Ye Chen:
"How about we go have a drink later? I invite you!"
However, he was politely rejected by the young man.
"Sorry, I have to go to other areas to assist the Order Army in security work tomorrow, so I have to go back to the hunting group to transfer work."
After Tang Bo listened, he waved his hands with a regretful expression.
"Okay, let's leave it at that."
Chapter 0480
As the parting approached, Tang Bo immediately added these few words with a sincere expression.
"But if you are free in the future, please remember to contact me!"
"The Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce will probably stay in Hunter Town for about a week this time!"
"The two of us have such a deep friendship, I'm really sorry that I didn't take the time to have a good drink!"
Ye Chen nodded in agreement with a wry smile on his face.
"Okay, it's a deal."
Tang Bo pushed Tang Guo beside him, and under the suggestion of his father, the girl immediately bid farewell to Yechen with some reluctance:
"Goodbye big brother."
Yechen responded in a friendly tone:
"See you."
As soon as the words fell, he shook his windbreaker, turned and left without delay.
"..."
Tang Guo looked at Yechen's handsome and handsome back, and his immature eyes unconsciously flashed the color of longing, while Tang Bo watched Yechen disappear step by step among the crowd outside the station, and in his aged eyes, there was Out of worry.
Because of the conversation three days ago, he is now very worried about Yechen's future.
Want to revenge on the abyss.
Tang Bo has seen many examples of Olympian hunters with such conviction in the past.
As for the ending of this group of people, either they underestimated the hatred halfway and compromised with reality, or died of hatred on the paranoid road of revenge.
Tang Bo didn't want Yechen to become the latter, and he didn't want Yechen to waste his life just like that.
However, it now appears that Yechen himself did it deliberately.
He seems to understand how difficult it is to destroy the abyss, but even so, he is still obsessed with making his life closer to the latter...
Thinking so far, Tang Bo sighed helplessly.
"Oh, that's all, it's normal to be young and energetic, I just hope he can look away from it in the future..."
He muttered this softly, and then turned back into a smiling father, holding Tang Guo's little hand.
"Come on, Tang Guo, there is still some time before unloading. I will take you around the neighborhood now. Although this place is called a 'town', it is actually equivalent to a first-tier big city!"
Tang Guo nodded excitedly, and walked into the open city streets with Tang Bo.
