Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 368 - 368 355 Puffed up with Pride

Chapter 368: Chapter 355: Puffed up with Pride Chapter 368: Chapter 355: Puffed up with Pride Yu Qing was daydreaming in the courtyard, still upset about the harsh words Zhan Ze had spoken earlier. She shook her head, finding it hard to bear.

Luo Rui was informed of what had happened in the courtyard.

She hurriedly came over, but Zhan Ze was nowhere to be seen. Only Yu Qing was in the courtyard.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Rui asked.

Yu Qing didn’t answer, obviously still angry.

“Hey, couples have misunderstandings, so don’t be mad. Just try to understand each other, okay?”

“You don’t know how terrible the things he said.” Yu Qing said.

“You know what Zhan Ze is like. Just avoid him in the future, it will be alright,” Luo Rui said.

“I was just trying to help.” Yu Qing replied.

“I know, but you should also realize that you and Ye Chen were…”

“What about us? We had nothing between us! If he thinks I’m tainted, he could have refused to marry me!”

“What’s the point of saying this now? We’re already a family. You should try to understand. Zhan Ze has a bad temper, and he speaks harshly, but as long as you don’t give him a reason, that’s enough!”

“What reason? I did nothing wrong!”

“I heard about today’s incident. The worst part is Shi Zi lying. In Zhan Ze’s eyes, she’s an accomplice. Considering his bad mood, don’t give him an excuse to vent. Let’s all calm down, it’s not such a big deal.”

“How can you say that!”

“Stop thinking about it, I’ll handle this. Try to calm down.”

“He’s really too childish.”

“Hey, understand him. Hasty decisions won’t solve anything.”

Zhan Ze ran to his mother, not wanting to stay in the courtyard. He worried that his temper would worsen. He overheard people saying the Dragon Slayer Clan was about to leave.

His mother came in, only seeing Zhan Ze in the courtyard. “Ze’er, are you alone?”

“How’s father doing?” Zhan Ze asked.

“A bit better.” Feng Nianmei asked again, “Where’s Yu Qing?”

“Well, she was busy all day.” Of course, he didn’t want to mention the incident at the Yingyun Pavilion.

“Did anything happen?” Feng Nianmei noticed the discontent on her son’s face.

Zhan Ze hurriedly shook his head and said, “No, she’s just tired. I didn’t bring her over. I let her rest at home.”

“Finally, the Demon God is obliterated. I didn’t expect that the boy had it in him.”

On hearing this, Zhan Ze felt annoyed and gulped down two cups of tea.

“Son, the Dragon Slayer Clan is leaving. This is your chance,” Feng Nianmei said.

“What kind of opportunity?” Zhan Ze asked.

“You’re not young anymore. As your mother, I hope you can succeed your father and become the new Sect Leader of Immortal City. But to become the new Sect Leader, you must prove yourself. Your father gained respect and leadership by defeating the Dragon Slayer Clan.”

“I… I haven’t thought about that yet.”

“You can’t avoid it. As a man, you should strive to achieve like your father did. If you want Yu Qing to look up to you, you should do something extraordinary. Only men of determination are attractive.”

“Hah, I want to, but it’s not as simple as I wish.” Zhan Ze clearly found these words unsatisfactory. The freak from the Dragon Slayer Clan becoming the Sect Leader of the New City Sect seemed to overshadow him.

“Don’t worry, this time, I’ll persuade your father to give you a chance. The members of the Dragon Slayer Clan are leaving, aren’t they? I believe the people of Immortal City will try to delay their departure and eliminate them as they pose a persistent threat.”

Feng Nianmei continued, “This is also a chance for you to prove yourself. You should seize it as it will be very beneficial for your future. Don’t waste your energy on trivial matters.”

Zhan Ze quickly responded, “I understand.”

“You’re grown up and can’t behave like a child anymore. How will you succeed your father’s position if you don’t achieve anything significant? Don’t presume that Yu Qing doesn’t care about anything. She actually does. She hopes her husband would be successful and not live under someone else’s shadow. It may seem unimportant now, but it will matter in a few years.”

“I understand.” Zhan Ze nodded.

“You better go see your father.”

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Slayer Clan really did retreat.

Seizing the opportunity, Feng Nianmei found her husband Su Hong, and spoke about their son Zhan Ze, saying, “You should give our son a chance.”

“A chance for what?” Su Hong had just met with Zhan Ze.

“This time, the Dragon Slayer Clan is leaving. They’ll prove to be a threat sooner or later. In the hall meeting tomorrow, we’ll surely discuss subsequent matters. You should let our son strengthen himself through this.”

“Isn’t he always training!”

“He’s grown up, you should let him deal with some big matters, instead of having him do small things.”

“Big matters?”

“Yes, like leading people, he’ll surely have to lead them down the mountain.”

“No, he’s quite lacking in that area.”

Feng Nianmei replied, “Of course, you weren’t proficient at everything from the beginning. It’s all about gaining experience through practice. I know your son lacks experience, but you can let someone guide him, wouldn’t that broaden his understanding? Are you saying that he’ll be inexperienced for his entire life? Look at Ye Chen, was he born with such ability? He also grew and matured through setbacks.”

Feng Nianmei’s argument left Su Hong speechless. Looking at Feng Nianmei, who had been taking care of him all this time, he felt that his wife was quite right. As soon as Feng Nianmei confirmed that Ye Chen was not their son with Ye Xue, she seemed to relax and her previous sensitivity disappeared.

“The children of the Immortal City should be well trained, particularly our son. Though he lacks experience now, this is an opportunity. He should go out with them, it will increase his experience.”

“What do you suggest I do?”

“Let our son follow Xiongbei for training. I believe the Dragon Slaying Clan is sure to run, however, the people of the Demon Domain will pursue relentlessly. Their presence in the Central Plains remains a grave threat. There will definitely be a plan in place, and I want our son to follow Xiongbei for training, what do you think?”

Su Hong said, “Alright. We’ll do as you say.” There wasn’t much to argue about if he was going to follow Xiongbei.

“He will grow up eventually, you should give him a chance. If you don’t give him a chance, and constantly say he lacks experience, that just won’t work. You have to find a solution.”

“Yes, I understand. I’ll talk to Junior Brother Ren.”

“No need, I’ve already spoken to Xiongbei. I asked him to take those children, you just need to agree.”

“Alright, I agree. This works then.”

Feng Nianmei was quite pleased to finally hear a response that wasn’t a rejection.

Su Hong added, “Have him come to the Grand Hall tomorrow.”

“Great, the younger generation should be given opportunities!”

…

Jiang Zhuge found Ye Chen in the courtyard and said, “The people of the Dragon Slaying Clan have left.”

Ye Chen nodded, “I just found out myself.”

“I’m not sure if they really intend to leave, or are just pretending.”

Li Mo said, “They must really want to leave. The Demon God is already dead, could there be any falsehood? They must leave because they couldn’t find a way to break the siege.”

“It’s not certain. Even though the Demon God is dead, and we pushed them back, the loss of the Demon God doesn’t mean the Army of Death is weakened. Their strength remains formidable. If they have other motives and are just pretending to retreat, it will create a major problem.” Jiang Zhuge said.

“Pretending? They couldn’t find a way to break the siege and they’ve been fighting for so many days. If they don’t retreat, what else can they do?” Li Mo pondered.

“Yes, but it’s possible they have other plans. Now that they’re at a stalemate here, and it’s clear it’s not doing much, they’re better off withdrawing to break the deadlock. It’s not a bad idea.” Jiang Zhuge continued, “We should proceed with caution.”

Li Mo said, “I think the people of the Demon Domain must be thrilled. They’ve driven away the Dragon Slaying Clan, feeling the opportunity has come. Only the Dragon Slaying Clan remains to be wiped out.”

Jiang Zhuge agreed, “Exactly, that’s exactly why it’s most dangerous. If they relax at this point, it’s bound to lead to disaster. Remember, the Dragon Slaying Clan was not defeated. They merely couldn’t find a way to break the siege and it wasn’t suitable to stay here for long. Hence, they chose to leave. It’s hard to say what their next plan will be, they might have already started some secret scheme.”

Li Mo looked at Ye Chen, who remained silent.

Jiang Zhuge spoke again, “I heard that many people from the Demon Domain are saying they cannot let the Dragon Slaying Clan go. They plan to leave the Immortal City, to intercept and prevent them from returning to Dragon Slayer Island.”

Li Mo said, “But their mindset is not wrong. They are ultimately a calamity and may launch a new attack at any moment.”

“Yes, indeed it’s like that, but we also need a foolproof plan. In this battle, they indeed suffered a major setback, but everything is just beginning. The Demon Domain hasn’t won yet, a single mistake can change everything instantly.”

Ye Chen still remained silent. He was listening all the while, his thoughts aligned with Jiang Zhuge’s. Ye Chen was also worried that the Dragon Slaying Clan had other intentions.

“Now, most of the people from the Demon Domain are blinded by euphoria, which could easily lead to mishaps. Some top Sect Leaders can’t sit still, it’s not a good sign. The Sect Leader needs to give them a reality check.”

Ye Chen said, “Tomorrow morning, Jiang Zhuge and I will go to the temple.”

“Yes, I believe they must be discussing how to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan in the future,” said Jiang Zhuge.

“They must at least choose a new Alliance Leader.” Li Mo said, “Su Hong is injured and certainly can’t preside over matters. There need to be leaders for such big matters. Without leaders, they will be at sixes and sevens and can’t accomplish anything.”

“Let’s not worry about that. We’ll see what they have to say tomorrow,” said Ye Chen, growing a bit calmer.

“Anyway, it doesn’t feel right. If they relax this soon, they weren’t defeated by the Demon Domain.” Jiang Zhuge said. The momentum seemed particularly unfavorable, causing experienced him to be alert.

“It’s a pity, the Red Demonic Spirit just left like this.” Li Mo sighed, “People only know that the Demon God was defeated, but they don’t know what price we paid.”
