Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 369 - 369 356 The Unconcealable Origin

Chapter 369: Chapter 356: The Unconcealable Origin Chapter 369: Chapter 356: The Unconcealable Origin Yu Qing was feeling terrible. She couldn’t believe Zhan Ze was still so immature, like he had never changed at all, childishly angry even now.

Su Zhan Ze had left in a huff and she had no idea where he had gone.

Shi Zi sneaked over only after she was sure Zhan Ze wasn’t around. She had suspected that there might be a conflict between them tonight, and it seemed she was right.

Shi Zi hesitantly entered the room, looking at the sulking Yu Qing, she asked, “Did you guys have a fight?”

Luo Rui, who was tidying up, immediately accused her, “It’s all your fault. We were just fine, you just had to lie, and now Zhan Ze knows about it.”

“I just didn’t want him to misunderstand. That’s why I lied. I didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings.”

“Haha, you sure know how to look for trouble. You could have just told him explicitly that Yu Qing was treating Ye Chen’s wounds. Wouldn’t that be better? Acting all secretive, you are sure to cause misunderstandings even when there aren’t any.”

“Hey, if I had outright told him, it would have undoubtedly made him angry too.”

“Presuming that you don’t want Zhan Ze to get mad now.”

“I didn’t imagine that damned Haotian would ruin everything.”

“By doing what you did, you’ve made a problem where there wasn’t any. Messing up things between Yu Qing and Ye Chen.”

Shi Zi hastened to explain, “I absolutely did not want it to happen. I didn’t want any of it. I just want both of you to be well. That’s the most important thing for me.”

“Are you really looking out for their best interest? It makes me wonder if they’ve been meeting secretly.”

“Hey. Can both of you just let me be, for once?” Yu Qing was genuinely getting irate.

Shi Zi asked, “Did the fight get severe?”

“Heh, what do you think?” Luo Rui, still tidying up across the room, retorted with a sneer.

“I really didn’t mean for any of this to happen.” Shi Zi continued, “I lied only because I was afraid Zhan Ze would misunderstand.”

“Ah, it’s okay. Don’t overthink it.” Yu Qing didn’t want to continue the discussion.

“Ah, it seems that you better spend less time with Ye Chen in the future.”

“I already barely see him as it is. I bumped into him, but it’s not like you don’t know that.”

“Well, Ye Chen only came a few days ago, and there was already some drama last time.”

“Hey, what happened last time?” Yu Qing recalled the rumors about her having date by the lake last time which made her very angry.

“Nothing much. I guess Ye Chen will leave Immortal City soon. Everything will become better, I believe all the misunderstandings will also be clarified.” Shi Zi said.

“No, I just feel that he is still the same and that he has never changed.” She was referring to Zhan Ze.

“It’s not as exaggerated as you think. He is just upset because of you. Afterall, you both were once…”

“Once what! What happened between us? Nothing happened whatsoever.” Yu Qing suddenly got agitated.

“Right, right, nothing happened between you two back then, I was just talking nonsense.”

“If he couldn’t tolerate my past, then why did he marry me in the first place?”

“Hey girl, let’s not say such things now. We are a family now, what is the point of such talks? If there’s a problem, let’s solve it one by one. Saying so is just asking for a fight!”

“You don’t understand, the words he said, they were too harsh, extremely harsh. I didn’t want this, but they were just too harsh.”

“Hey, when Zhan Ze gets anxious, he gets like this. He is just worried that someone else will steal you away! More importantly, there’s really nothing between you and Ye Chen, it’s not like you two are sleeping together or anything. What are you afraid of?”

“Hey, you little imp, have you ever died before?”

“Alright, stop overthinking, you know how Zhan Ze is. If you’re out of sight, he won’t be able to trouble you anymore, unless of course, you still have feelings for him. It’s no wonder Zhan Ze got angry.”

“So, you came here to mock me? You think I haven’t suffered enough?”

“I don’t dare to.” Shi Zi continued, “Stop thinking about it too much. You’re married now, stop acting like a little girl. This too shall pass.”

“Did Zhan Ze send you here? It feels like you are acting on Zhan Ze’s behalf.” Yu Qing said.

“No, I really didn’t mean to. I just came in a hurry because I was worried about you two arguing.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing let out a cold laugh.

“Of course, I hope you two will get along well, expecting you to have a successful pregnancy soon, and growing old together.” Shi Zi continued, “Now that you are married, you are no longer the little girl you once were. Sometimes, you really should consider things from Zhan Ze’s perspective. If people see you together with someone else, they would definitely gossip and Zhan Ze would naturally get angry.”

“It’s always that Haotian causing trouble.”

“He probably still holds grudges after being beaten up by Ye Chen.”

“He is still angry, I think he is just trying to stir up trouble.”

“Then you shouldn’t give him the opportunity.” Shi Zi said, “Now you’ve become a woman, you’re no longer a young girl who does whatever she wants.”

“Get out. Are you here to brainwash me?”

After Shi Zi’s long-winded talk, Yu Qing was starting to cool down compared to just now.

Finally, Shi Zi heaved a sigh of relief and told her, “Members from the Dragon Slaying Clan have left.”

“Who said that?” Yu Qing asked.

“All witnessed their departure.”

“Did they leave Central Plains?”

“Not sure about that yet, but one thing is certain. They’ve stopped attacking the city,” Shi Zi replied.

“So they really did give up.”

“Yep, they gave up. The Demon God is dead, and after so many days of killing, they can’t possibly stand it any longer,” Shi Zi continued: “Now everyone’s saying that we can’t let the Dragon Slaying Clan get away.”

“It’s not a scheme or something, is it?”

“We don’t know yet. We need to wait a bit more to understand their intentions,” Shi Zi said. “However, there are two pieces of news. Not sure if they are true or not, but they came from the people at the foot of the mountain.”

“What news?”

“One stated that when Mutant Winged Dragon rushed over, he didn’t avoid the impact released by the Demon God. He was hit hard by a strong energy and got seriously injured,” Shi Zi explained.

“Seriously injured. Is that why they retreated from Immortal City and descended the mountain?”

“Very likely so. They’re now in Crane City, having regained control of it. We don’t know if they plan to stay or leave Crane City in a day or two.”

“Did Mutant Winged Dragon really get injured?”

“Yes. At the time, he was trying to save the Demon God while escaping from Ye Chen. Then suddenly, enormous energy was released. Exactly at that moment, Ye Chen also got hurt. I suppose Mutant Winged Dragon got injured during the tussle with Ye Chen.”

“If that’s the case, Mutant Winged Dragon probably left Immortal City and stopped attacking the cities because of his injuries.”

“Partially for that reason, but also because the Demon God was dead and he really couldn’t think of a better strategy to attack,” Shi Zi continued: “No matter how you look at it, this is all good news. We finally managed to repel them. The supposedly invincible Army of Death was finally driven back by us, defying their unbeatable reputation.”

“And what’s the other news?” Yu Qing curiously asked.

“It’s that Ye Chen is the son of Mutant Winged Dragon,” Shi Zi said.

“What?”

“I also couldn’t believe it upon hearing this news. How could this be possible? Isn’t Ye Chen the son of Su Hong? How could he be the son of Mutant Winged Dragon? Those people must be talking nonsense. If Ye Chen is the son of Mutant Winged Dragon, how could it be that they’re at such odds?”

“Did this news come from outside?”

“Yes, I don’t know if it’s true or not. The disciples brought it in,” Shi Zi replied, nibbling on fruit.

“Such news spread so quickly,” Yu Qing muttered.

Overhearing this, Shi Zi looked at Yu Qing and asked, “What did you say?”

“Nothing!”

“What do you mean by ‘nothing’? You just said, ‘so quickly made it known to others’. Do you already know something?”

“I also found out a couple of days ago.”

“So you knew all along? That means it’s true – Ye Chen really is Mutant Winged Dragon’s son.”

Yu Qing nodded and said, “He himself only found out recently. He hasn’t known for long.”

“How can this be? What actually went down?”

“Actually, long ago, Mutant Winged Dragon, Su Hong, and Ye Xue, were all senior fellow apprentice siblings. Mutant Winged Dragon already had feelings for Ye Xue. Before the great war, Ye Xue was pregnant with Ye Chen. Su Hong also had feelings for Ye Xue, but later, Su Hong and Ye Xue discovered Mutant Winged Dragon’s conspiracy.

Ye Xue secretly stole the Jade Ring from within the Dragon Slayer Sword, which is also known as the Dragon’s Eye of the Dragon Slayer Sword. It’s the same ring that Ye Chen is now wearing. Because the Dragon’s Eye was gone, Mutant Winged Dragon ended up revealing his motives, which Su Hong discovered and consequently defeated with the apprentices of the Immortal Demon Realm.”

“You knew all this?”

“I heard it from Ye Chen. He guessed it himself. However, Su Hong never admitted anything. That’s understandable because if he did, Ye Chen’s real identity would be exposed.

Feng Nianmei caused such a big stir back then, but Su Hong did not reveal the truth to protect Ye Chen. He didn’t want anyone to know that Ye Chen is Mutant Winged Dragon’s son. Ye Xue didn’t dare to tell her son the truth, didn’t dare to say that he is Mutant Winged Dragon’s son. She actually wanted to spare him the burden. But we have all misunderstood that Ye Chen is the son of Mutant Winged Dragon.”

“So the matter is this complicated. How did Ye Chen find out?”

“Mutant Winged Dragon told him.”

“What a revelation.”

“Indeed, it’s hard to comprehend. But this is the truth.”

“He must have been in a lot of pain. He didn’t know who his father was all this time. And when he finally found out, he misunderstood. To make matters worse, the father he found ended up being his enemy and the murderer of his lover. So many twists and turns, it’s beyond what a play can offer.” Shi Zi shook her head, in disbelief.

Yu Qing remained silent.

“If this is true, and the news spreads among the people of the Immortal Demon Realm, wouldn’t that cause quite a scene?”

Yu Qing glanced at Shi Zi and said, “I don’t think so. Ye Chen has helped the people of the Immortal Demon Realm and driven away the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“That’s still hard to say. After all, Ye Chen is the son of Mutant Winged Dragon.”

“But he’s on the side of the Immortal Demon Realm.”

“Right, we all know that. We all know Ye Chen stands for justice. But can you guarantee that everyone will be understanding because he is Mutant Winged Dragon’s son, rather than suspecting him?”
