Chapter 337 - 337 324 Jealousy

Chapter 337: Chapter 324: Jealousy Chapter 337: Chapter 324: Jealousy Yu Yun gave a cold smile.

Bi Chun brought some snacks, saying, “These are the only snacks we have.”

“Fine, just put them here.” Shi Zi let Bi Chun put them down, also saying, “Ye Chen has started to give strategic advice, while we’re still like children, not being able to help at all. It’s hard not to feel inferior.”

Yu Qing chuckled.

“I’m serious. All these matters used to be handled by our father’s generation. But now, that boy has gotten involved, even occupying the Sect Leader’s position, and we’re still like children,” Shi Zi said.

“Then you can go help your father,” Yu Qing said.

“Heh, in his eyes, as long as I don’t mess things up, it’s the best help I can offer,” Shi Zi replied.

“Then you can go and learn.”

“I just don’t have the perseverance,” Shi Zi answered.

Yu Yun laughed coldly again, grabbing a handful of peanuts.

“Don’t laugh at me, you’re the same, only knowing how to cause trouble for others.”

But Yu Yun said, “I’m not like you, I play when it’s time to play, and do serious work when it’s necessary.”

Yu Qing said, “Just don’t be reckless and cause trouble for father.”

“When have I ever caused trouble for father?” Yu Yun retorted.

…

Zhan Ze was dispirited, pondering over his mother’s words. Her words were plausible. The timing of that guy’s return, was there a purpose? He knew that Yu Qing once had feelings for him, and even now, he knew that Yu Qing still held onto these feelings.

Ren Haotian nudged Zhan Ze and laughed, “Zhan Ze, didn’t you already get married and bring home a beautiful wife? Why do you still look so depressed?”

Zhan Ze turned his head to look at Haotian and said, “I went to see my mother last night.”

“What’s wrong with your mother?”

Zhan Ze looked at Ren Haotian and Yuan Jingxing and said, “Do you guys think that Ye Chen came to our Immortal City with some ulterior motives?”

Haotian lifted his head and thought about the night when he was badly beaten up, then said angrily, “You mean he came for Yu Qing?”

“Do you think he came for Yu Qing?”

“Do you think so?”

“Last night, someone saw Yu Qing and Ye Chen together by the lake.”

“The two of them, on a date by the lake?”

Yuan Jingxing shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

“I don’t know if they planned this, but they did indeed meet by the lake,” Zhan Ze continued, “My mother said that this guy might be here for revenge for something that happened five years ago.”

Yuan Jingxing was startled and said, “No way, isn’t he here to fight the Dragon Slaying Clan and avenge the deceased disciples of the New City Sect?”

Zhan Ze replied coldly, “Yes, that may be one of his aims, but five years ago, the incident that resulted in his mother’s death, wouldn’t he hold any thoughts of revenge?”

Hearing this, Ren Haotian suddenly became stern, “That’s quite possible. What if he’s back to compete with you for the future Sect Leader position of Immortal City?”

Zhan Ze paused, looking at Haotian. His mother had said the same thing.

Yuan Jingxing said, “Come on, aren’t you overthinking this?”

Haotian said, “It’s hard to say. Zhan Ze, your father really appreciates Ye Chen. Last night, he went to visit Ye Chen. That night, Ye Chen spoke to your father in public, but your father was not angry. Although I really don’t want to admit that you two are half-brothers, the fact is just as such. Your father feels that he owes him too much and might possibly want to make amends.”

Zhan Ze looked at Haotian and asked, “You said my father went to visit Ye Chen last night?” His father had just quarreled with his mother the previous night.

“Yes, one of my men saw it. After seeing your father, he went into Ye Chen’s courtyard.”

“Was he alone?”

“Yes.”

Zhan Ze listened and his expression grew stern.

Haotian continued, “Your words indeed reminded us all. Perhaps he really does have other intentions.”

“Can we stop speculating so wildly?” Yuan Jingxing pleaded.

Haotian said, “It’s not wild speculation. Can you guarantee that this guy has not come for the Sect Leader’s position in Immortal City and is not here to take revenge on us? That night, the words he said to your father were quite clear, blaming your father for his mother’s death. He holds resentment in his heart. Who’s to say this resentment is not his true feeling?”

“Isn’t he already the Sect Leader of the New City Sect!” Yuan Jingxing interjected.

“How can the Sect Leader of the New City Sect in the Wasteland compare to our Immortal City Sect Leader,” Haotian continued, “This man became the Sect Leader of the New City Sect in just five years. How interested he is in these things, it’s hard to say. It was said that he was chasing the daughter of the previous Sect Leader of the New City Sect, and subsequently succeeded him. But that girl has already died.”

Yuan Jingxing said, “But I heard that he saved the former Sect Leader of the New City Sect, which is why he was noticed.”

“In any case, I think there’s more than meets the eye. Without any means or tactics, it wouldn’t have been possible. Your mother’s worries are not unfounded. You should be more careful. Don’t let others exploit the loophole when that time comes. Furthermore, Yu Qing was fond of Ye Chen back then. Whether she has truly let go now is hard to say. They met secretly by the lake, and even met alone. This isn’t a good sign. You better be careful, or there will be a farce.”

Zhan Ze looked at Haotian. He had spent the entire previous night thinking about how to deal with this guy.

Haotian added, “A man should always guard against others. That night, his words made it clear that he blamed your family for his mother’s death, and he holds a grudge. If that’s the case, it’s dangerous.”

Zhan Ze stayed silent.

Yuan Jingxing remained mute.

Haotian continued, “Ideally we should have him leave.”

Yuan Jingxing replied, “Have him leave? I’ve heard that Zhan Ze’s dad wants to keep him. Says he’s gifted, decisive, planning to retain him for counsel and intellectual exchange.”

“That would be really bad.”

Zhan Ze said, “Telling him to leave the mountain, how would we do that? We need a reason, right?”

Haotian, too engrossed in thought, spoke, “If your dad decides to keep him on the mountain and you send him away, and your dad finds out, then things would not be good.”

Zhan Ze was thinking the same way.

An idea flashed into Haotian’s mind, “Force him to leave by himself.”

Zhan Ze did not understand his point. “Force? How?” He truly did not want to bump into the guy in Immortal City. His presence made him uncomfortable, always carrying a sense of insecurity. He did not want Guo Yuqing to interact too much with him, let alone fall prey to his tricks.

“Make them leave on their own,”

Yuan Jingxing said, “But Zhan Ze’s dad wants him to stay on the mountain.”

“I have a way to make him feel embarrassed to stay in Immortal City,” Ren Haotian said.

“Embarrassed?” Zhan Ze asked.

Haotian replied, “Leave this matter to me. I promise it will be resolved in three days.”

“Are you not afraid of causing trouble?”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Even if there is any trouble, I will take responsibility. You don’t have to worry.” Haotian looked confident, adding, “Keeping the guy on the mountain always gives me chills.” Recalling that night when he was humiliated publicly with wine poured on him, Haotian felt a surge of anger.

Zhan Ze was aware of Haotian’s knack for devious schemes.

After two days, Jing Po and Slaughter Saint started making moves. Immortal City became tense suddenly. Everyone was sure that it must be the move of the Mutant Winged Dragon in the Wastelands.

Su Hong had made arrangements. As they had analyzed, the Mutant Winged Dragon didn’t come directly. Instead, it sent several teams. Although they had set off, it would take a while to penetrate.

All Su Hong could do at that time was to have people keep a close watch on the team from the Dragon Clan and note their positions.

Su Hong looked at the huge map.

At that time, Ren Xiongbei came in.

“Anything happened in the Demon Domain?” Su Hong asked.

“Nothing for the moment,” Ren Xiongbei replied. “Thankfully our Sect Leader had us all prepare anew. I think everyone is nearly ready now.”

“How about Heavenly City?”

“Gu Xueyun has already led two hundred people back. They should have reached Heavenly City by now.”

Su Hong nodded.

“Sect Leader, any reading on their true intentions now?”

“Still not sure.”

“They must be trying to throw us into confusion.”

Su Hong nodded again.

Ren Xiongbei remarked, “Jiang Ouyang might be shaken off by Slaughter Saint and Jing Po.”

“They want to shake him off?” Song Zheng’an asked.

“It looks like they might.”

Su Hong stayed silent.

Song Zheng’an added, “It seems they are indeed planning to take action.”

Su Hong looked at him, “How’s our preparation?”

“Most of the preparation is done. If it’s confirmed that they are really planning to attack Immortal City, Brother Qiao will rush back soon,” Ren Xiongbei said.

Su Hong had Qiao Fanfeng stay outside to watch the surroundings and support the people of the Demon Domain. He knew it would be better to lure the Dragon Slaying Clan here than directly fight them. Immortal City was prepared with a defense system to resist the Dragon Clan, which would be more advantageous for them.

He actually hoped the Dragon Clan would attack their Immortal City. This would save them from the trouble of coming up with other ploys. If Immortal City could not hold up, it would be more challenging for other factions to resist.

Ye Chen was in the courtyard.

Jiang Zhuge said, “They’ve moved.”

But Ye Chen was sitting calmly, seeming to be contemplating something.

Jiang Zhuge continued, “However, we still can’t confirm if they are targeting Immortal City or other factions.”

“What is Su Hong thinking?”

“Su Hong hopes they will attack Immortal City.”
