Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1223 - 1223 1209 Origins

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1209: Origins Chapter 1223: Chapter 1209: Origins Ah Ya closely followed behind Ouyang Yue, and as Ouyang Yue looked around, it indeed seemed to be a place that haunted one’s dreams, no wonder it attracted so many pursuers of wine and women.

That guy quickly ran back and said, “Second floor, the third room.” He didn’t dare not to answer. Angering the Sacred Spirit Sect would mean the end of Yixiang Brothel, as the Sacred Spirit Sect was the true master of Sacred Spirit Island.

There was no need for him to lead the way, as Ouyang Yue had determined the location from the direction the young man pointed.

She headed directly to the second floor.

The young man didn’t know what was happening and said, “Miss Yue, is there anything I can help you with?”

“If you keep blocking my way, I’ll set this place on fire, believe it or not.”

The young man was so frightened he didn’t dare to speak and followed closely behind her.

As they ascended to the second floor and turned a corner, the sound of lascivious laughter filled the air, making one’s skin crawl. One was more unrestrained than the other, possibly because it got too hot inside, so wearing less or thinner clothing meant staying cooler.

“Which room?” Ouyang Yue turned to look at the young man following her and asked.

“The third room.”

Ouyang Yue stopped at the door of the third room, which was lit by dim red lanterns, looking as if it was ready for a newlywed’s chamber at any moment.

Indeed, that guy was inside, surrounded by seven or eight girls, his hand wrapped around one of them. Ouyang Yue had every reason to doubt her eyes, how could that possibly be Ye Chen, the man she believed to be so upright. Yet there he was, embracing another girl.

That girl was definitely the prettiest among them. She fanned herself as if afraid he wasn’t holding her tightly enough, constantly leaning into him. Their interaction could only be described as flirtatious and entangled.

The young man following didn’t know what was going to happen next.

Ouyang Yue walked in, and Ye Chen probably didn’t even notice her. He was heard saying, “If you don’t pour her more wine, none of you will get to sleep tonight.”

The servant girls didn’t know who had just arrived, but they could tell she was someone not to be trifled with from her imposing manner.

“Get out of here now, or do you need me to escort you out?”

The young man behind her quickly waved his hand, signaling the girls to leave.

Ye Chen was startled and didn’t know what had happened. Still half-asleep, he said, “Hey, don’t go, I have plenty of silver here; come back.” But no one would listen.

Soon, the fragrance-diffusing servant girls had left, leaving only three people behind.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Ye Chen was the first to speak.

“I should be asking you that. Are you planning on having no tomorrow?”

Ye Chen sat down, feeling utterly disappointed.

“I know Nangong Yan’s death has left you with great guilt, but it wasn’t your fault. It was an accident that caused all this to happen. You shouldn’t carry all the blame on yourself, okay? No one blames you, and neither would Nangong Yan.”

Ye Chen drank with a drunken air, but his mind was still clear. He grabbed the wine jug and poured himself a drink.

“Guo Yuyun is married, but there are other women in the world. Can’t you stop ruining yourself like this?”

“Mind your own business, will you!” Ye Chen snapped back.

“If I didn’t know you, I could ignore this.”

Ye Chen sighed in defeat and continued to drink, “Ah, just leave me alone.”

“If I don’t care about you, who will? You expect that girl from the Central Plains to care about you? Don’t flatter yourself. She has her own crowd. Even if you were to die here, no one would know, and she certainly wouldn’t be heartbroken.”

Feeling as if his heart had been pierced, Ye Chen drank several cups in a row, only to have the jug snatched away by Ouyang Yue, thinking to herself that she wouldn’t let him continue this way.

“Don’t bring it up. Right, if I die here, no one would grieve for me; I don’t need anyone’s pity. Just take care of your own matters and stop bothering me.” Ye Chen was getting angry and tried to take back the wine jug.

“Hah, all this over a woman? Why reduce yourself to this? It’s not the end of the world. Look up, move forward; life is beautiful. To pretend to be dead over a woman is pathetic. If you really want to play dead, at least make sure someone sees it.” She slapped the wine cup from his hand.

“Can’t you be any less annoying?” Ye Chen complained.

“Right, today I intend to be annoying.” She slapped another cup from his hand and declared, “I thought you were mature, but it turns out it was all an act. It’s such a trivial matter, just one woman, and you’re half-dead over it. As I see it, with your ability, only I would worry if you drink yourself stupid here. No one else would have a clue.”

“Go find someone else to worry about, and don’t worry about me.” Ye Chen’s mood was completely dampened.

“If you’re thinking about dying or wasting away, I certainly won’t agree to it.” She grabbed his hand, trying to pull him away.

But Ye Chen broke free and shouted, “I beg you, milady, go to your father instead. Don’t disturb me here, I thank you.” Then he called out, “Girls, come back in and drink!”

Ouyang Yue shouted towards the girl watching the play at the door, “Dare to come in, and I’ll show you what’s what.” Then, turning around and seeing Ye Chen drinking again, she said, “Okay, so you want to drink, is that it? Fine, then I’ll drink with you, until you’ve had enough. However much you drink, I’ll match it.” Her tone was aggressive as she sat down opposite Ye Chen.

She really did start drinking one cup after another, just like Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, pressing his forehead, seemed out of other options and blurted out, “Girl, stop bothering about it. I haven’t had a moments peace with my current situation. Let me be free for a bit. Go find your dad, Shao Hengjiang, and stop annoying me.”

Maybe she was really confused, or perhaps drunk.

“What, my dad Shao Hengjiang? What nonsense are you talking about?” Ouyang Yue felt the other party wasn’t drunk and yelled, “You must be mistaking me for Nangong Yan.”

“No, the night Nangong Yao and Nangong Yan’s mother got married, Shao Hengjiang was upset and, drunk, he slept with your mother.”

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yue froze and shouted, “Say that again.”

Frightened, Ye Chen sobered up and asked, “Did I say something?”

“You said that the night Nangong Yao and Nangong Yan’s mother got married, Shao Hengjiang was so distressed that he got drunk and slept with my mother.”

Only then did Ye Chen realize he had misspoken. Remembering that Shao Hengjiang hadn’t told her, and now it was too late, he muttered quietly, “That’s how it is, then.”

Ouyang Yue, getting anxious, bellowed, “What do you mean ‘that’s how it is’? Explain clearly what happened! How do you know about it? Otherwise, I’ll have you paraded through the streets tonight.”

It seemed impossible to keep the secret any longer, a secret that was bound to come out eventually. He said, “The day you were taken by Hai Jingtian, Nangong Yao told Shao Hengjiang. Shao Hengjiang himself was clueless, probably because he couldn’t remember what happened after he got drunk. I overheard it all.”

Ever since she heard about an unusual relationship between Shao Hengjiang and her mother, she had been suspecting something between them. Learning that Shao Hengjiang’s true love was Nangong Yan’s mother, and that Nangong Yan was his daughter, her suspicions were dispelled.

Ye Chen curled up, stealing a glance at Ouyang Yue. How could his mouth betray him like that? Out of reason. He suggested, “Hey, let’s stop drinking for today. Let’s go back and sleep.”

Ouyang Yue hadn’t recovered from the news, still in shock, and demanded, “You sit down.” She evidently needed time to process it.

Ye Chen quickly sat down, not daring to look at her anymore.

“You’re saying Shao Hengjiang didn’t know I was his daughter?”

“It seems so. It was Nangong Yao who told him, saying you were his daughter. I think it happened when he was drunk and later he wasn’t certain. After that, he went to the thirty-six islands, and everything else remains unknown.”

“So Nangong Yan is really my sister?”

Ye Chen was wordless.

“Bastard, he’s such a bastard. How could he do this to me?” Ouyang Yue, fuming, downed another cup. She recalled her mother’s situation, questioning why her mother had been so harsh, always cursing that man in front of her.

“Hey, you came to persuade me not to drink, and now you’re the one drinking. That’s not right.” Ye Chen quickly called out, “Ah Ya, come help quickly, take the girl back.”

“No one is going anywhere tonight.” Ouyang Yue looked at Ye Chen.

The onlookers at the door had all retreated.

Ye Chen didn’t know what to do next. Ouyang Yue was struggling to process the information, her mind in chaos, never having imagined that Nangong Yan and she shared the same father.

“Hey, girl, it’s not good for a young lady to drink like this. It could lead to trouble.”

“Don’t even think about running away, come back here.”

Ye Chen hurried back and said, “I’m not running.” He knew how much Ouyang Yue hated this long-lost biological father. Suddenly finding out the truth was too much for her to handle, but he had no idea what to do.

“Bring me the wine.”

The young boy standing behind was still there, looking dumbfounded. Usually, the people who came here to drink were men. Today must have been an unusual day with the sun rising from the west, as it was a woman drinking so heavily. But he didn’t dare to disobey her, not after overhearing their conversation and seeing the girl’s anger, as if she might set the building on fire at any moment. He quickly had someone fetch the top-quality wine.

“Girl, this situation…it might be an accident.”

“How could they do such a thing?” Ouyang Yue had never imagined that her mother was involved with Shao Hengjiang, a revelation beyond her expectations.

“Indeed, they’ve made things very complicated, some beyond comprehension.”

“You’ve brought up this mess, so today you must drink with me.”

Ye Chen looked at the furious Ouyang Yue, unsure of what to do, knowing he couldn’t just abandon her.

Ouyang Yue called out, “Ah Ya, you go back first.”

Ye Chen waved his hand, signaling Ah Ya to leave first.

The two were left alone.
