Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 244 - 244 232 Stranger

Chapter 244: Chapter 232: Stranger Chapter 244: Chapter 232: Stranger Ye Chen seemed quite embarrassed, and Ling’er was not happy with him for it. He was always like this around girls, and she refused to accept his behavior.

Ling’er said, “If you’re worried about where to go, we will make the best arrangements for you.”

“No, I don’t know where to go. I’ll stay here. I can help you with some chores,” Cui Mengyan replied.

“Okay, stay here. This yard will be livelier with more people. We do need some extra help,” Ye Chen said.

“Whatever chores you have, you can assign them to me. I can tidy up the rooms, I can do all of that.”

“Just water the flowers and weed the garden,” Ye Chen suggested.

Ling’er gave a cold smile.

“I hope I won’t bother you.” She wasn’t foolish. How could she restrain her jealousy? However, she couldn’t leave. It took such effort to blend in. Leaving now would be a waste.

Ye Chen spoke, “Of course not. The courtyard is too quiet. We wish there were more people living here.”

Meng Yan looked at Ling’er.

Ling’er puckered her mouth and finally said, “Listen to this guy, and settle down.” She was wondering if she was being petty with her resistance.

“Thank you so much. You’ve saved my life. I will repay you with my entire life.”

Quickly Ling’er replied, “No, don’t do that. We would have extended a helping hand to anyone else too, especially in trivial matters. Don’t imagine that you have to marry this terrible guy as a gratitude.”

Wan Lan returned with food soon enough, bringing roasted chicken and other things in two full bags.

They smelt the aroma from the courtyard itself.

Ye Chen got excited and said, “Wan Lan, you’re great.”

“Didn’t you just eat?” Ling’er asked.

“I get hungry quickly!” exclaimed Ye Chen.

“I’m not sure what you like to eat, so I brought a variety,” Wan Lan said to Meng Yan.

“Oh, that must have been a lot of trouble.”

“Not trouble at all,” Wan Lan replied.

“Have something to eat, then get some rest early. Don’t worry about other things,” Ling’er suggested.

Meng Yan nodded.

“You should maintain a certain distance from this guy. He’s no good,” Ling’er pointed at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen rushed to defend himself, “Hey, girl.”

“Really bad, much worse than you could ever imagine. And, he never takes responsibility for his actions.”

“Who told you that? Don’t believe word she says. She’s just trying to frighten you.”

“You’ll soon know him better. Keeping your guard up won’t be a bad thing,” Ling’er warned.

Ye Chen was taken aback by how direct she was, leaving him somewhat speechless.

Meng Yan laughed lightly. It’s the first time they saw her smile. Her smile was so sweet that it seemed to unsettle people.

Ye Chen exclaimed, “How could people like this exist? She’s the best at destroying friendships.”

Meng Yan laughed again.

“Really, she specialises in bad-mouthing others. Don’t you think it’s odd?”

“I love doing good deeds and preventing you from harming others,” Ling’er retorted.

Ye Chen continued eating the roasted chicken.

In the main hall.

Wei Sisan had everything ready, now just waiting for the Zen master and his group to arrive.

“I wonder what this Zen Master is planning,” Kong Sha remarked.

“Just focus on our own business,” Wei Sisan advised.

Kong Sha nodded his agreement.

Wei Sisan enquired, “Kong Sha, how is it going in Wasteland City?”

“Well, I talked to them a couple of days ago. I asked those who wanted to leave to do it. Those who decided to stay didn’t want to leave,” Kong Sha replied.

Can Mo chimed in, “I heard they have ties with the Dragon Clan. Is that true?”

“The Dragon Clan from eighteen years ago?” Kong Sha questioned.

“Yes, that is what people outside are saying. I don’t know whether it’s true or false.”

Kong Sha commented after thinking, “If it’s the Dragon Clan, their hatred for the celestial and demon realms would be profound.”

“Yes, their hatred for the celestial and demon realms surpasses everything else.”

“But why would they try to unify the regions outside before dealing with the celestial and demon realms?”

“Perhaps they believe they have the strength to do this!”

“If it really is the Dragon Clan, we must exercise caution.”

Wei Sisan stated, “No matter whether they are from the Dragon Clan, we must focus on our tasks and safeguard Wasteland City. We must not let it fall into their hands.”

Can Mo nodded.

“They have come here prepared. We cannot be careless.”

Can Mo commented, “From our understanding of Wasteland City, they won’t be able to control it easily.”

“Let them try. We’ll continue doing what we are supposed to,” Wei Sisan stated. The sudden news of the Zen Master had startled everyone, making even the experienced Wei Sisan feel anxious for the first time.

Yuan Menhai had also heard about the Zen Master’s matter.

The Zen Master’s plan to unify the Wastelands was no longer a secret. It was spreading like wildfire.

Yuan Menhai and his men had spent decades building the Sky Domain Sect, and he was not willing to watch Sky Domain City fall into the Zen Master’s hands.

They were taken aback when he conquered Tianle City like a hot knife through butter.

Ming Bei stepped forward and said, “I heard these people are connected to the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“The Dragon Slaying Clan?” Jiu Yiren was surprised.

“Yes, everyone says there is a connection, but no one knows if it’s true or not.”

Jiu Yiren said, “Didn’t the Mutant Winged Dragon of the Dragon Slaying Clan die eighteen years ago?”

“No one knows if that’s true or not. They say he fell off a cliff, but nobody found his body.”

“Let’s not speculate anymore.” Yuan Menhai felt somewhat helpless. Even the powerful Gua Zhengnie was defeated by the Zen Master. Although Gua Zhengnie managed to escape, it was enough to prove that the Zen Master was a formidable opponent, capable of taking down Tianle City in such a short amount of time, something he could not accomplish.

Jiu Yiren asked: “Sect Leader, should we ask the New City Sect for help if the Zen Master and his followers launch an attack on our Sky Domain City?” Now, only the New City Sect was left in the Wastelands to support them.

However, they had not been in much contact with the New City Sect over the years. The last time, they almost killed Wei Sisan; he did not know if they suspected him for it.

Ming Bei suggested, “We might as well cooperate with them to confront the Zen Master. They also need to deal with him, so it’s a valid reason for an alliance.”

Yuan Menhai had also considered this problem. Still, he believed the Zen Master was more likely to target Wasteland City. Everyone in the Wastelands knew how important Wasteland City was. He commented, “Let’s not rush into anything; we can see what the Zen Master does next.”

Ming Bei added, “The New City Sect definitely won’t sit idly by.”

Jiu Yiren said, “I think they will most likely target Wasteland City because it is more important than our Sky Domain City. Even a fool knows that.”

After hearing this, Ming Bei nodded in agreement.

Jiu Yiren then added, “If the New City Sect can’t resist the Zen Master when the time comes, should we step in and help?”

“In my opinion, Wei Sisan is not so bad. After all, they are the strongest in Wasteland City and have just defeated Gua Zhengnie and the No. One Thieves. If they have no power at all, it won’t make sense.” Yuan Menhai said.

Ming Bei pondered, “Sect Leader, do you really think they will try to take over Wasteland City first?”

“Their objective in conquering Tianle City is to prepare for capturing Wasteland City.”

Hearing this, some of Ming Bei’s worries were eased.

“Anyway, in the end, we’re the ones Sky Domain City will have to rely on.”

Ming Bei stated, “If the Zen Master is this dangerous, even if it kills us, we shouldn’t surrender to them. It wasn’t easy to establish the Sky Domain Sect, and it wouldn’t be fair to just give in to the Zen Master. The disciples wouldn’t agree either.”

Yuan Menhai said, “Rest assured, I won’t let them blindly follow the Zen Master. If that day really comes, I must make all disciples agree before taking such action.”

He could not bear to surrender the Sky Domain Sect.

Jiu Yiren said, “If the Zen Master and New City Sect go to war, it would actually be a good thing, it would weaken the New City Sect, and that would definitely benefit us.”

“We can’t be too simplistic in our thinking. We should be worried they might swallow us up too,” warned Yuan Menhai.

When Ye Chen woke up, still groggy and unwilling to open his eyes, he could already hear voices outside. It was likely Wan Lan and the girl who had come last night.

He pushed open the window and said, “Why are you two up so early?”

“It’s not early,” responded Meng Yan.

“Ha, you guys are really proactive.”

“Hurry up and get up. I’ll go and prepare breakfast for you.”

Ye Chen gave a chuckle at this.

“Hurry up.” She was about to leave as she spoke.

Wan Lan was still a bit dumbfounded.

Ye Chen said, “Wan Lan, if you don’t start to be a bit more proactive, you’ll soon be replaced.”

Wan Lan ignored him and just continued cleaning the floor.

Ye Chen quickly washed his face, and within the courtyard stood a giant banyan tree. A group of birds fluttered about the treetop, bustling around everywhere, seemingly never too tired to stop.

Ye Chen poured a cup of tea, gulped down a mouthful.

Feeling lazy, he lay on a humpback chair and started to doze off again under a corner where the sunlight filtered through the tree branches.

In no time, Meng Yan led two maids back with breakfast.

Ye Chen said, “It’s a pity I didn’t meet you sooner.”

Meng Yan giggled and said, “It’s not too late now.”

“Yeah, it’s not too late. You haven’t gotten married yet, right?”

“If you want to eat or buy anything, just let me know. I can buy it or prepare it.”

Ye Chen glanced at Wan Lan and said, “This is what a good girl is like. You don’t know, but this girl would never say this to me. At most, she would just say, if you don’t want to eat then don’t.”

Meng Yan laughed again at this.

“I’m serious, she’s really temperamental, but now that you’re here, I can rest easy.”

“Eat while it’s hot.”

Inside the room, Ling’er had already heard the conversation outside.

She peeked out and said, “Ha, you’re all up pretty early.”

Meng Yan quickly greeted Ling’er.

While eating, Ye Chen said, “I just said this courtyard is so much livelier with you here.”

With a cheerful titter, Meng Yan called out, “Ling’er, time for breakfast.”

Finally, Ling’er got up.
