Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 318 - 318 306 Be More Open

Chapter 318: Chapter 306: Be More Open Chapter 318: Chapter 306: Be More Open Feng Nianmei knew how much her son liked Yu Qing. Although Xia Yue was not Yu Qing’s biological mother, Yu Qing was still Guo Mingyu’s biological daughter. So, it would greatly benefit her son.

Feng Nianmei said, “I heard you stayed at Shi Zi’s Jingyue Pavilion last night.”

“Yes,” replied Yu Qing.

“Why didn’t you stay with Zhan Ze as planned?”

Yu Qing, feeling a bit uneasy, answered, “Oh, my younger sister is here as well. She’s quite mischievous. I’m afraid she would cause trouble, so I decided to stay with her at Jingyue Pavilion for the time being.”

“You could let Yu Yun stay at Jingyue Pavilion, and you could go straight to Zhan Ze’s.”

Zhan Ze knew why Yu Qing hadn’t done that and recognized she was still adapting. He said, “Mother, let us handle our matters ourselves.”

Hearing this, Feng Nianmei giggled.

Su Hong mentioned, “Let the children discuss their issues themselves.”

Yu Qing still felt more at ease in Jingyue Pavilion.

Feng Nianmei said, “You will be married soon. I understand that you need some time to prepare mentally, but once you live together for a few days, you’ll get used to it. I went through the same.”

Guo Yuqing nodded slightly.

“I’ve never seen Yu Qing this shy before. It’s a bit unusual for me. As you’ll be husband and wife, you need to take care of each other,” Feng Nianmei said.

Zhan Ze said, “Mother!”

“Alright, I’ll hold my tongue. As long as you both love each other, everything else can be worked out,” Feng Nianmei said, “You’ll get married the day after tomorrow. Don’t make any troubles.”

Zhan Ze said, “Mother, what are you talking about? What sort of trouble could we possibly cause?”

“That’s good. Anyway, you’ve all grown up. After hoping for so many years, I look forward to the day when you have children, so I can finally complete my mission.”

Zhan Ze also seemed a bit shy at that moment.

Feng Nianmei asked, “Are all the preparations in place?”

Zhan Ze answered, “With Ren Haotian and Yuan Jingxing around, most of the arrangements have been made.”

“Don’t let anything go wrong. If you need help, just ask me.”

“Mm, I got it.”

Feng Nianmei said, “We will be one family soon. So, don’t be shy about living in the Immortal City. Any request or problem you have, just speak up. After all, we are family!”

Su Hong also said, “Yes, you don’t have to be scared. We’re people just like you.”

Guo Mingyu had been silent all this time. He didn’t know what to add, only hoping that his daughter could find a good family.

He knew how much hardship Yu Qing had been through. If she could marry into a good family, it would make up for her mother’s loss, putting his mind at ease.

Guo Mingyu said to Zhan Ze, “In the future, you must not ill-treat Yu Qing.”

Su Hong said, “If he dares to do that, come to me. I’ll sort him out,” hinting at Qing’er.

Feng Nianmei said, “Ah, Zhan Ze likes Yu Qing so much, he would only be kind to her. In fact, Yu Qing should pay more attention to Ze’er.”

Guo Mingyu said, “Now that you’ve become a family, you are adults. You’re not children anymore. If anything happens in the future, you must support each other.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Yu Qing,” Zhan Ze assured.

“Good. Remember you said that. If Yu Qing is unhappy, I’ll be coming to you,” Guo Mingyu warned.

Zhan Ze lowered his head, uncertain if he could make such a firm promise.

Feng Nianmei said, “Brother Guo, you have scared the children.”

…

After giving it a thought, Ye Chen was still thankful for his past encounters. Had he not faced these, he might have spent his days as a country bumpkin in a village.

Suddenly, the Red Demonic Spirit popped out, asking him, “Boy, what are you thinking about?”

The unexpected question startled Ye Chen, making him nearly forget about the spirit. It was as if the spirit had been hibernating, sleeping for a very long time.

The Red Demonic Spirit continued, “I didn’t realize you had so many stories.”

“What do you want to say?” Ye Chen asked.

“I’ve met the girl. She’s quite pretty.”

“Shouldn’t you be absorbed in the matter of Feng Niang? Any other girl could hardly catch your attention.”

“Seems like the girl holds a high status in your heart, a well-hidden one! C’mon, tell me your story.”

“Why should I tell you?”

“After leaving here, your mother died because your father’s secret was exposed. She was driven away by Su Hong’s current wife. Then she encountered people from the Evil Domain and consequently died. As a result, you were sold to Earth Demon Island. So, what exactly happened between this girl, Yu Qing, and you in the Immortal City?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Hearing this, the Red Demonic Spirit sneered, “If you don’t tell me, I could still guess. That girl already made things pretty clear. If I couldn’t piece it together, I must be a fool.”

“Then why do you ask?”

“I just don’t understand why you have to be so persistent.”

“What do you mean indecisive? I’m not!” Ye Chen asserted defensively.

“Really? Isn’t this the place where you two once made memories?” Ye Chen had mentioned Guo Yuqing to the Red Demonic Spirit before, but only in passing, without going into much detail.

“Who told you this was a place for reminiscing?”

“No need to lie to me. You’ve been here for quite a while now. Though I don’t know what’s going on in your head, I can tell by your somber face. You’re wallowing in the past. It’s clear you’re not over her.”

“I’m over her!” Ye Chen retorted.

“Don’t get upset. More heated you become, more it shows you care about her.” Then, Red Demonic Spirit added, “You may love Wei Yiling. There’s nothing wrong with that. But Yiling is gone now. You two are living separate lives.”

Ye Chen chose to remain silent.

“Today when you were speaking with that girl, I could hear it. You still care deeply for her sister. But she’s about to get married. Isn’t it a little complicated for you now?”

“I am not conflicted.”

“Joke. Not conflicted, huh? You sneaked off here to dwell on the past, what were you thinking?”

“Don’t pretend you know me.”

“I don’t know you, I just think you’re being weak, not very manly.”

“What do you mean not very manly? That’s not a fair statement!” Ye Chen defended himself somewhat anxiously.

Red Demonic Spirit continued, “To me, the mark of a man is decisiveness. The way you can’t shake off the past, want to take action but are too worried, is anything but manly.”

“You’re the one who’s not being a man. It’s been ages since Feng Niang left, but you’re still moping about like a mourning snake.” Ye Chen responded.

“Are you trying to undermine me, huh? Doesn’t it just prove that I hit a nerve? You still have feelings for that girl.”

“That was a long time ago. I just hope she’s happy and living a good life. That’s all.”

“Are you trying to play noble too? Sooner or later, you’ll regret it.”

“What’s there to regret?”

“Hehe, need I say more? Your indecisiveness and inner conflict, these are the ingredients of future regret. Well, Feng Niang and I didn’t work out, but at least, I tried. I confessed my feelings to her. She eventually left. But I tried. So, I have no regrets. Can you say the same?”

“Regret what?”

“Regret that there was a chance, but you didn’t try. Now, she’s still unmarried. Why isn’t it time for you to make a move?”

“What would I achieve by doing so?”

“Find out if she really likes the person she’s going to marry, and if she still has a place for you in her heart.”

“Of course, she likes her future husband! And what about whether she still has a place for me in her heart? It’s been five years, let the past be the past, grow up! If I can fall in love with someone else in five years, why not her?”

“Really? You don’t even have the courage to confront her. Didn’t that girl tell you today? You’re still in her heart. Are you just afraid of being rejected?”

“Who said that?” Ye Chen said.

“I said it,” responded the Red Demonic Spirit.

“You sure know how to stir things up.”

“I’m starting to lose respect for you.”

“Who asked you to show me respect in the first place?” responded Ye Chen.

“The wedding’s merely two days away. Why not nip it in the bud and meet her now? There’s no harm in it. I mean, she has been searching for you for the last five years, and yet, you don’t dare to meet her.”

“It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s just that I don’t want to disturb her.”

“Just making excuses.”

“Is that an excuse? The wedding’s in two days. What if something goes wrong?” Ye Chen didn’t want to stir up any trouble or ruin her day.

“If she really likes you that much, then let what happens happen. You can’t avoid her forever, she’ll think you’re dead. But you’re not dead, are you? If she sees you after the wedding, then what?”

“Then I’ll wish her the best.” For Ye Chen, the most important thing was avenging those who had fallen for the New City Sect.

“Right, you’re relieved now.”

“What else can I do? She’s about to get married. Do I have a choice? One can’t just think about themselves!” Ye Chen knew the significance of the impending marriage.

“You’re asking what you can do? True, we mustn’t be selfish. But accepting something only after it has happened… that’s a recipe for regret and remorse.”

“Remorse and regret for what? I’d rather not meet her just to avoid regretting it afterward.”

“You’re too full of yourself. Do you think you’re some kind of god? It’s been five years. Do you really think she only has you on her mind?”

“Exactly, I’m not a god. So, what good would meeting her do? But that’s precisely why I don’t want to see her.”

“Then why are you so afraid of seeing her? Just meet her! What’s the point of overthinking?”

Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

“Scared of seeing her, aren’t you?”

“Who says I’m scared? I just want to see her after a few days.”

“Wait until she’s married, to see her? Can it compare to seeing her now?”
