Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 445 - 445 431 Known to All

Chapter 445: Chapter 431: Known to All Chapter 445: Chapter 431: Known to All Ye Chen was a bit puzzled, he had just arrived, and asked: “How did you know all this?”

“They were chatting about it just now.” Said the maid who was cleaning up.

“Damned Li Mo, there are no secrets with him around.”

“Hmm, I have to say you were pretty brave, it was quite touchy.” The maid commented.

However, Ye Chen retorted: “I actually regret it. I was out of my mind then, I should have let the adversary stab me”. He glanced at Yu Yun.

Yu Yun knew that he was saying this deliberately.

“You’re trying to provoke Yun’er, aren’t you.”

“Of course, I really feel this way. If I had a few more minutes, I would have realized the severity of the situation, I should’ve given up. If I had given up, saved the Jade Ring, today’s situation wouldn’t have happened. Now, even Demon Palace City is threatened and I have this extra burden. Surely, I must’ve been out of my mind to do this.”

Another slap came his way; this time, Ye Chen managed to dodge it slightly.

“But you and our Yun’er, you make quite a pair.” The maid said.

Yu Yun seemed pleased.

Ye Chen gave a cold smile and said: “Of course you would say that, would you dare not to! If you didn’t, how would you survive in this Demon Palace City.”

“Hey, I didn’t say that just to please Yun’er. When I entered, it was all your noise – one sentence from you, one from me, very amusing, we were all laughing. It takes a real connection to do that.”

“You must be cross-eyed to mistake a rock for treasure and see two people as a family.”

“If you think so, I can’t help you, but you did seem to have fun.”

“Like children.”

“Alas, I won’t argue with you, anyway, it kind of feels like a family.”

“Our temperaments don’t match.”

The maid cleaning up had already left.

Ye Chen said: “That maid just now, she was pretty. If she were in your place, she’d be more beautiful than you.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yun’s eyes seemed aflame.

“Really, I like that type, gentle in speech, always saying what the master likes, beautiful and understanding. Who wouldn’t like that!”

Another maid emerged from the house just in time to catch their conversation. She said: “You’re a real scoundrel, trying to sow discord, your intentions are clear.”

Ye Chen took a glance at the maid up ahead, gave a slight smile and said: “There are really quite a lot of pretty girls in this yard, how come I didn’t notice before, each one prettier than the last.”

“Hehe, you’re really quite a devil, trying to make Yu Yun hate us, aren’t you?”

“Hehe, I just said you were gorgeous.”

Yu Yun smirked.

“Our Yun’er is smart, your tricks won’t fool her.”

Ye Chen forced a laugh.

“See? Everyone sees through your tricks,” Yu Yun said.

“Really! But why do you seem a bit angry?”

“I’m not angry, why would I be angry?”

“Hurry back, don’t disturb my sleep.” Ye Chen got up and said: “It’s already midnight, if you don’t go back soon, your parents will think that I’ve abducted their daughter.”

Yu Yun looked at him.

Ye Chen remembered last night’s drinking and said: “Your dad probably thought that I took you out drinking last night, you should explain this to him.”

“Isn’t it good this way?”

“What’s good about it, you want our relationship to be vague, I don’t have as thick skin as you, I still have to get married and have children.” Ye Chen pulled Yu Yun up, and said: “Hurry back, don’t ruin my good name.”

The next morning, Ye Chen found Yu Yun’s house. Yu Yun was still asleep. He entered and saw He Xibai.

“You came so early?” He Xibai asked.

“Don’t tell me she is still sleeping.” Ye Chen said anxiously.

“It’s still very early.”

“I told her last night to wake up early.”

“She just came back, let her sleep a little longer.”

“Hurry up and wake her.”

“I dare not, you go.”

“Me, go? What would it look like if I go into her room at this hour? If someone accuses me of molesting her, not even jumping into the Yellow River would clear my name.”

“It’s fine, Yu Yun said it’s inevitable.”

“The cheek of that girl, to say it’s inevitable.” Ye Chen shouted from outside, “Yu Yun, get up quickly. We’ve got to go to the Books and Records Hall.”

“What are you yelling about?” Came a voice from inside the room.

“Heh, I told you to come back last night, but you insisted that it was too early. Now you won’t wake up, are you trying to torment me on purpose? Don’t you know how serious the situation is?” Ye Chen shouted outside.

“I know.”

Only then did Ye Chen retreat to the gazebo aside. He Xibai was preparing food at this time. Despite having eaten at his own place, seeing such delicacies made him hungry again. He mumbled: “The food for masters is really different from ours.”

“Really! Then hurry up and marry our Yun’er. I’ll prepare food for you every day.”

“You’re being so straightforward, promising to prepare food for me every day, it’s very tempting.”

“Our Yun’er is excellent. It’d be your fortune if she could take a liking to you.”

“There are many people who’ve taken a liking to me.”

“Are any as grand as our Demon Palace?”

“If we don’t defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan this time, everything will turn to waste, it’ll all be the same then.” Ye Chen said.

“Don’t talk so pessimistically. The people of the Immortal Demon World will surely defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“I guess you are the only one who can be so confident.” Ye Chen was not at all polite and began using his chopsticks, ready to taste the delicious food.

“Marry our Yun’er quickly. After that, you can enjoy a peaceful life.”

“I was just wondering if you are not worried that after Yu Yun marries me, she will regret and suffer under my torment in the future.”

“What do you mean, you want to torture our Yun’er?”

“I just want to tell you this: I’m not a good man. In this life, having three wives and four concubines is possible. I won’t only be good to your Yu Yun.”

“Ha, we’ll talk about three wives and four concubines later.”

“You didn’t really look into understanding me: you don’t know that I may be a guy who could kill without batting an eye. In the future, your Yu Yun may regret this,” Ye Chen said.

“That’s Yu Yun’s business.”

“What, Yu Yun’s business?” Ye Chen curiously asked.

“Once she marries you, I can relax.”

Ye Chen was amazed and said, “You still claim that you will make food for me; it seems that you’re just pretending. First, you coax me into marrying her, then you directly pass this burden to me, and after that it’s none of your business.”

“What burden.”

“She’s not a burden yet? You are desperate to get rid of her.”

“Who said that? Of course, I want Yu Yun to be happy and to find someone she likes.”

“Don’t lie to me any longer, I have seen your true intentions.”

“My intentions?”

“You just want to dump the burden on me.”

Yu Yun came out from inside and asked, “What are you talking about? What burden?”

He Xibai quickly said, “Nothing, quickly go wash your face.” He then hurriedly sent two maids along with Yu Yun to wash up.

“I see you also got a lot of scolding from your master.” Ye Chen said.

“Stop talking nonsense, who said I was scolded.”

“If this girl doesn’t create trouble everywhere like a monkey, how could that be possible?”

“Eat your food and leave once you’re done.”

“If you don’t speak well about your master, how can I be moved?”

Upon hearing this, He Xibai gave a cold laugh.

“Hmm, what’s wrong with our Yu Yun? She’s beautiful, excellent, and intelligent. Plus, she comes from a great family.”

“And she’s excellent and smart, huh? I don’t see all that goodness in her you mentioned; she can barely feed herself.”

“You—!”

“Did I say anything wrong?” Ye Chen continued, “You think I can only sell myself to make my mark. My current status is really pitiful!”

“What selling yourself! Marrying our Yun’er makes you feel like you’re selling yourself?”

“Pretty much.”

“You must be blind if you can’t distinguish what is good.”

“I am actually blind!”

“Of course, you are! You’re telling me you’re not?” He Xibai continued, “So many disciples of various sects want to marry our Yun’er, but she doesn’t even care for them.”

“I don’t deny that those people indeed wish to cling to your large tree, planning to sell themselves. But am I one of them? How can you compare me with them?”

“I’m not discussing this nonsense with you. Over time, you will realize Yun’er’s strengths.”

“Strengths? Really? Instead, I find more and more shortcomings.”

He Xibai darted out, worrying that if this guy kept talking, he would make things worse.

Not long after, Yu Yun walked in, still as dazzling as ever.

“Can’t you put some effort into it?” Ye Chen said.

“What happened?” Yu Yun asked.

“Oh, come on! Don’t you know we’re at a critical time right now? Time doesn’t wait for anyone.”

“It shouldn’t matter if we delay by one or two hours, right?”

“It seems like you really are not worried that Demon Palace City will become a wasteland.”

“Even if you have one or two more hours, it’s impossible to suddenly find the secret book you need.”

“Ha, so that’s what you’re saying!” Ye Chen continued, “Miss, you really should focus more on important things.”

“I only woke up half an hour later. Who says I’m not focused on important things?” Yu Yun counter-asked.

“I assume everyone in this courtyard knows who you like now.”

Yu Yun gave a faint smile.

“You’re not afraid of others knowing.”

“Oh well, if I like someone, I’ll state it openly! I never hesitate.”

“Yes, you’ve stated it, and you’re happy and relaxed. What about me?”

“Feel pressured, right? If that’s the case, it means I’m doing it right!”

“Doing it right? Why don’t you just tell them that we already shared a bed. That would give me even more pressure. No one would dare to get close to me then.”

“I should consider that. Saying I’m pregnant would be even better.”

“That’s too much. Liking a person doesn’t mean letting them live in fear.”

“Living in fear? Don’t make it sound so horrible.”

“That’s not enough fear? I haven’t been back for long; He Xibai has already started his sales pitch.”
