Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1181 - 1181 1167 Ambush

Chapter 1181: Chapter 1167: Ambush Chapter 1181: Chapter 1167: Ambush Hai Jingtian followed Qiandu Xiang.

With a smile, Qiandu Xiang asked, “Do you believe what that guy said?”

“It seems irrelevant now. He’s no longer of any use. Even if he was telling the truth, the fact would eventually be uncovered, and who knows whether the news that spreads is true or false,” Hai Jingtian replied.

“Exactly, that’s what they call making use of trash,” Qiandu Xiang said as he walked further away.

“Maybe it could work out.”

“That depends on whether fate really wants to give us a chance,” Qiandu Xiang said. It took him more than two hours to devise such a good plan.

Duan Chenfeng left, seething with the desire to curse. How could he have followed Qiandu Xiang and left his family back on Sacred Spirit Island? He guessed Qiandu Xiang must’ve had his wife and two sons taken hostage.

After all he had done for him during this period, this was how he was repaid. Could this be karma? He couldn’t think of a better explanation than that.

A disciple by his side asked, “Master, what shall we do?”

What else could he do but take action? This would show his sincerity. Even if it meant death, he had to act; if he didn’t, Qiandu Xiang would kill his family. If he acted and failed, only he would die. Moved by his action, Qiandu Xiang should spare his family. He had no room for negotiation,

“Do I even have a choice?”

The disciple, upon hearing this, said, “We should never have sided with that SOB.”

“Do you think I don’t have regrets? Who would’ve expected Si Nanyu to die and Ouyang Yue to receive help from Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang? The most infuriating thing is that damn brat. Without so many people’s help, Ouyang Yue would’ve died who knows how many times,” he lamented as if he had made the wrong bet.

“Right, that little bastard has repeatedly sabotaged our plans. He’s utterly despicable and should be the first to die.”

“Maybe this is karma. Damn it, why did I have to get involved in this mess?” He initially wanted to use this opportunity to make a good impression on Qiandu Xiang, to secure a benefit for himself in the future, but he never anticipated such an outcome. He regretted it deeply.

Duan Chenfeng said, “Don’t just stand there. Get back there quickly. Find out which room Nangong Yan is staying in, and that Ouyang Yue, and move after the third watch as Qiandu Xiang instructed.”

“It’s too dangerous.”

“I know it’s dangerous, but Qiandu Xiang is right. Nangong Yao probably won’t expect this, and going directly after his daughter, as long as we capture her, we’ll have a hostage. Then Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao won’t dare make a move. Then we follow the escape route given by Yang Zuotai. Once we get out, what happens afterward doesn’t concern us,” Duan Chenfeng said, taking a deep breath, feeling as if he were in a dream.

Nangong Yan and Ouyang Yue followed Ye Chen’s instruction and indeed stayed in the same room.

Nangong Yan still had some doubts and asked, “What was that monkey really trying to say? He mentioned an inner traitor would come after us. Do you believe him?”

Ouyang Yue fell silent for a moment before replying, “It’s possible.”

“Why?” inquired Nangong Yan.

“Because the traitor is still here and he’s made Qiandu Xiang very angry. It’s very likely Qiandu Xiang will take a desperate measure,” Ouyang Yue explained after having taken some time to seriously think about it after returning.

“Are you saying the traitor will really come and capture us?”

“Didn’t you see how angry Qiandu Xiang was tonight?” Ouyang Yue asked.

Especially at the moment they killed Qiandu Xiang’s man, Qiandu Xiang was at his angriest, and it was the most satisfying moment for Ouyang Yue.

“He wants to avenge his brother.”

“By capturing you and me, to force your father to give up the Sacred Spirit Stone, it’s very likely. The traitor wouldn’t dare target your father, so he can only target us, especially you. You have two fathers, wouldn’t they give up the Sacred Spirit Stone if you were taken?”

“Aren’t we in great danger then? Even if we stay together, it’s useless.”

Suddenly, knock, knock, knock, the door was rapped upon.

Nangong Yan rushed over and blurted out, “Who is it?”

“Your father.”

Ouyang Yue recognized Nangong Yao’s voice and hurriedly opened the door.

Nangong Yao glanced around, everything was quiet, with no one in sight, and said, “Come out quickly.”

“Where to?” Nangong Yan asked.

“Don’t worry about that.” Nangong Yao, making sure no one was peeking, promptly pulled the two of them out and had several others enter, including two disguised as women, one of whom was Guan Xun. Guan Xun and his party entered, then closed the door to the room.

Nangong Yao rushed Nangong Yan and Ouyang Yue hastily to another room not far away.

It turned out that after listening to Ye Chen, Nangong Yao still wasn’t reassured and decided they shouldn’t stay in their original room.

“Dad, you also think the traitor will come and take me tonight, right?”

“I don’t know, but we have to prepare for the worst,” Nangong Yao said as he had the room’s door closed. Ye Chen was also in that room, casually lying on the bed and reading.

Nangong Yan approached and said, “Monkey, why are you here too?”

“Of course, to protect you. If it were possible, I would’ve gone back to sleep already.” After discussing with Nangong Yao and others and getting ready to leave, Ye Chen was held back by Nangong Yao who wanted him to stay.

Nangong Yao said, “Alright, Ye Chen, protect the two of them well.”

“Sure, as long as you don’t mind me devouring them both,” Ye Chen quipped.

Then Nangong Yao slipped away quietly, and the door to the room closed shortly after.

Nangong Yan also felt somewhat sleepy, after all, it was the middle of the night. She came to the bedside and clamored, “Move over a bit, I need to sleep too.”

“Go sleep on the floor.” Ye Chen called out.

“You have the nerve to make me sleep on the floor?”

“Why not? If I could, I would have been sleeping in my room a long time ago instead of keeping you company here. Do you really think I’m not tired tonight?” Ye Chen said in a lazy manner.

Nangong Yan gave a shove and squeezed him over.

“You’re really not afraid I’d take advantage of you,” Ye Chen said, having been pushed to the inside.

On the other side, Ouyang Yue, sipping water, said, “Could you two not act as if I’m not here, please?”

Nangong Yan said, “You go sleep on the floor.” looking at Ye Chen.

“I told you to sleep on the floor and let my little sister come over.”

Nangong Yan got goosebumps upon hearing that and said, “Little sister, you sure have a sweet way of calling.”

“Of course, you’re envious, aren’t you? You’ll have more to envy in the future,” Ye Chen said as he tossed aside the book in his hand.

“Whose idea was it to acknowledge each other as siblings?” Nangong Yan asked.

Ye Chen replied, “It was my idea, what about it?”

“You would propose to take a sister, do you have any ulterior motives?”

“My motive is to piss you off, make you green with envy,” he said.

Ouyang Yue, heading to a long chair where she could lie down, stretched out her legs and laid down. The lantern in the room was still lit, and she asked, “Should I turn off the lantern for you?”

Upon hearing that, Ye Chen quickly said, “Absolutely not. This girl is bad news. If you dare turn off the lantern, she’ll dare to grope me all over. With the lantern on, she wouldn’t dare to do anything rash.”

Nangong Yan, her face flushed, pinched his arm fiercely and clamored, “Who’s groping you? Stop talking nonsense.”

“I can’t deal with you two anymore. If you want to quarrel, keep it down. Any more noise like this, and people wanting to take action won’t dare to make a move,” Ouyang Yue said, covering her eyes with a towel.

The action would probably have to wait until the second half of the night.

“What did my father want with you tonight?” Nangong Yan asked.

“He asked me if I was willing to marry you, but I refused. I said you’re so dumb, marrying you would be like pairing with an imbecile,” he said.

A slap landed on Ye Chen’s arm with a smack, causing him pain and making him yell out—it truly was a fatal slap.

“Can’t you speak nicely for once, or do you have to belittle me until I’m worthless?” she said.

“You’re already so dumb, is there a need to beat you down further?”

Although Ouyang Yue didn’t pay attention to their conversation, she had an idea what they were talking about and asked, “Did you agree?”

“Agree to what?” Nangong Yan inquired.

“The two uncles want someone to take charge of the Sacred Spirit Stone, hoping to hand it over to Ye Chen,” she replied.

Nangong Yan was taken aback and said, “Is that really so?”

“Yes, now stop disturbing my sleep. I’m really tired today,” Ye Chen called out as he stood up and walked toward Ouyang Yue. Pushing her gently, he said, “Go sleep on the bed.” How could he stand to see Ouyang Yue sleep like that, with her legs propped up?

Ouyang Yue opened her eyes and said, “It’s okay, I can sleep like this.”

“Such a complicated way of sleeping is my specialty, how can I let you take it over?”

“Just like siblings, the brother cares for his little sister,” Nangong Yan called out from the bed.

“Yes, jealous, aren’t you?” Ye Chen pulled her up and added, “If I were to sleep with her on that bed, by tomorrow morning, I’m sure my virtue would be compromised, there’s no doubt about it.”

Nangong Yan snorted through her nose, as Ouyang Yue sat up with a smile before heading over to the other bed.

Nangong Yan, seeing Ouyang Yue coming over, displayed an air of dissatisfaction, a touch of jealousy showing through.

“This isn’t something I asked for, you know.”

Nangong Yan had no choice but to move over a bit.

Ouyang Yue hardly needed Ye Chen’s answer, she was sure he had agreed to Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao’s proposal. The question she asked just now was nothing more than superfluous.

Seeing Nangong Yan looking a bit angry, Ouyang Yue found it quite humorous. The girl’s moods changed so rapidly they were hard to fathom. She whispered, “Are you really mad? If not, I can let you be his little sister, and I’ll develop something with him.”

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Let’s go to bed early. We’ve been tired all day, and who knows what time the fighting will start again tonight.”

Nangong Yan asked softly, “Did you just mention my father discussing the control of the Sacred Spirit Stone with him?”

“To claim the Sacred Spirit Stone is to use it against Qiandu Xiang, but in order to face Qiandu Xiang with the Sacred Spirit Stone, someone obviously needs to control it. Uncle Nangong believes his own power is limited and controlling the Sacred Spirit Stone would take at least half a year, time we can’t afford. Your father got his old injury aggravated due to the Sacred Spirit Stone, so even if he recovers, there’s no telling if it might recur,” she explained.
