Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 243 - 243 242 Gongzi Yuu's Ambition Second Release

243: Chapter 242: Gongzi Yuu’s Ambition [Second Release] 243: Chapter 242: Gongzi Yuu’s Ambition [Second Release] Even a fool could tell that Ye Chuxue was seeking a kiss.

The night was silent like water, a gentle breeze breezed between them.

Just as Li Chen was about to lean down for the kiss, he suddenly spotted a pair of gurgling large eyes under the water, curiously staring at them.

Li Chen was startled and quickly embraced Ye Chuxue, slashing his palm towards the water.

“Splash!”

A gigantic creature suddenly leaped from the water, creating rolling waves.

Upon seeing the true face of the unknown creature, Li Chen couldn’t help but frown.

“A toad?”

Noticing something was amiss, Ye Chuxue quickly opened her eyes and, seeing the Jade Golden Toad, she exclaimed with excitement.

“Eek, Little Cutie?”

“Croak, croak!”

The Jade Golden Toad snorted loudly in protest of the name “Little Cutie,” which it found quite discordant.

It had just devoured a Heavenly Horse and was comfortably sleeping at the bottom of West Lake.

Yet, it was forcibly awakened by Li Chen’s consciousness and made the long journey to Yangzhou.

Gongzi Yuu was not only the future helmsman of the Gongzi family, but also a prized disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect; he definitely wouldn’t submit easily.

If the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement and conflict erupted, Ye Chuxue would become his most critical weakness.

Li Chen couldn’t fully trust the people of the Martial Arts Alliance.

For this reason, he summoned the Jade Golden Toad to protect Ye Chuxue’s safety, ensuring his rear was secure.

Li Chen guessed right; Gongzi Yuu wouldn’t concede easily.

After his interruption, the banquet at Qiandao Lake ended unpleasantly.

“Little Yuu, what do you plan to do?

Are you really going to transfer Huayu Entertainment to him?” Xuan Hu said indignantly, his facial injuries splitting due to his excessive emotion, causing him to grimace in pain.

Gongzi Yuu’s expression turned grim, and after a long silence, he spoke, “Uncle Master, it is true that I owe Li Chen ten billion, and I cannot deny that!”

Xuan Hu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then asked, “Do you have any debt acknowledgments or legal certifications?”

Gongzi Yuu shook his head and said, “There were no written agreements, nor any certifications!”

Xuan Hu slapped his thigh, saying excitedly, “Without a debt acknowledgment or legal certification, who can prove that you owe him ten billion?”

Gongzi Yuu appeared troubled and said, “Uncle Master, but there were many people present at that time, if I were to deny it like this, wouldn’t it be…”

Before Gongzi Yuu could finish his sentence, Xuan Hu interrupted him, “Little Yuu, in this world, the victors write history.

Whoever has the power has the say.

Take the Long Family for example.

When they dominated Jiangnan, who dared to speak ill of them?

Now go outside and see, even the street peddlers dare to talk about the Long Family’s wrongdoing.”

Gongzi Yuu pondered for a moment and then said, “Uncle Master, even the Dragon Family Ancestor is no match for Immortal Master Li.

If I were to deny the debt outright, even with our combined strength, we probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

If he decides to assert himself, what would we do then?”

Hearing Gongzi Yuu’s question, Xuan Hu was momentarily taken aback.

Indeed, even the Dragon Family Ancestor was forcefully slain by Li Chen.

Looking across the whole of Jiangnan, who else could be his match?

Suddenly, he thought of someone’s name.

As long as this person makes a move, they would definitely be able to kill Immortal Master Li.

“Little Yuu, please ask the Sect Leader to come out of his retreat!”

Gongzi Yuu pondered for a moment but shook his head and refused.

“No, Master is in the midst of a critical retreat.

Now is a crucial moment, and it’s not appropriate to disturb him!”

Xuan Hu was quite annoyed by Gongzi Yuu’s rejection of his suggestion.

“This won’t do, that won’t do.

Little Yuu, what do you suggest we do?

Remember, you are not only the future Helmsman of the Gongzi family but also the proud disciple of the Heavenly Master Taoist.

If you bow to him, our entire Heavenly Master Sect will lose all face!”

Gongzi Yuu thought for a while and then said, “Uncle Master, we come from reputable sects and must never lose our sense of righteousness.

If I owe Immortal Master Li one hundred billion, then mortgaging Huayu Entertainment to him is what must be done!”

Xuan Hu laughed bitterly with anger, “Haha, righteousness?

What righteousness can be talked about with a bloodthirsty demon like him?

Little Yuu, you’re not actually scared of him, are you?”

Gongzi Yuu suppressed the anger in his heart and explained, “Uncle Master, you misunderstand.

My point is to give him only a portion of the shares, we still hold the majority stake in the company.

Wanting the entire Huayu Entertainment is out of the question.”

Xuan Hu still scoffed, “Isn’t that still showing weakness to him?

What’s the difference, fifty steps laughing at a hundred?”

Gongzi Yuu resolutely said, “Yes, it’s about showing weakness to him.

Only by doing so can we get him to let down his guard!”

This time, Xuan Hu also figured out the subtext in Gongzi Yuu’s words and pressed, “Little Yuu, are you planning to catch him off guard and deal him a surprise blow?”

Gongzi Yuu nodded and said, “Exactly.

Immortal Master Li has just slain the Dragon Family Ancestor and is the center of attention, with none to rival.

Moreover, Master is still in retreat.

If we clash with him head-on now, we are sure to get no advantage.”

“Moreover, Immortal Master Li is extremely ambitious.

It is said that the eldest son of the Qin Family, Qin Feng, acting on his orders, has issued a challenge under the name of the Martial Arts Alliance to the Great Families of Jiangnan, aiming to force them into submission with power!”

Hearing that Li Chen had such ambitions to unify the Great Jiangnan, Xuan Hu couldn’t help but become furiously enraged.

“Ambitious as a wolf, it seems he won’t stop until he has thrown the prosperous Jiangnan into utter chaos!”

Gongzi Yuu advised, “Uncle Master, calm your anger.

There’s a common Western saying that if God wishes to destroy a man, He first makes him mad.

These aristocratic families are proud to their very bones, how could they ever submit to Immortal Master Li, who comes from a poor family?”

“In my opinion, they will surely band together to resist Immortal Master Li and his Martial Arts Alliance.

When that happens, won’t our chance have arrived?”

Upon hearing Gongzi Yuu’s words, Xuan Hu felt as though he was enlightened.

“Little Yuu, are you saying we should also take this opportunity to form an alliance, to oppose Immortal Master Li’s Martial Arts Alliance?”

Seeing his wooden-headed Uncle Master finally come to a realization, Gongzi Yuu nodded proudly.

“Exactly, I have been meaning to suggest just that!”

If they truly can form an alliance, Gongzi Yuu, with his dual identities from aristocratic family and sect, would surely be chosen as the Alliance Hierarch.

As the third head of the Gongzi family, the Alliance Hierarch of Jiangnan, and the Closed-door Disciple of the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Master Sect, he can fully unite the entire power of Jiangnan.

If he defeats Immortal Master Li, he could become the next ruler of Jiangnan.

In time, after defeating the War God Li Lingtian from the Imperial City, Gongzi Yuu’s dominance over the great lands north and south of the Jiangnan, becoming the foremost figure in Huaxia Martial Arts, is within reach.

Thinking of a beautiful future, Gongzi Yuu’s squinted eyes couldn’t help but show a glint of longing.

“Uncle Master, Master Xuu Lin of the Taiping Sect, Master Cang Song of the Diancang Sword Sect, and Lady Jingy Yue of Tingyu Building are all currently in Yangzhou.

Send them invitations now, tell them that tomorrow at eight in the evening, I will be hosting a banquet at Eight Immortals Inn, and ask them to be sure to honor us with their presence!”

Xuan Hu asked in confusion, “Little Yuu, why are you inviting them, to put pressure on Immortal Master Li?”

Gongzi Yuu nodded and replied in a determined tone, “Exactly.

If Immortal Master Li backs down, all the better.

If he refuses, he will have offended all of us.

Then he and his Martial Arts Alliance will become the target of the crowd.

Throughout the whole of Huaxia, they will be unable to move a step!”
