Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 476 - 476 462 Closed-Door Meditation

Chapter 476: Chapter 462: Closed-Door Meditation Chapter 476: Chapter 462: Closed-Door Meditation After dinner, he sent Ling’er back to her room. The place was finally quiet, and Ye Chen could finally let out a sigh of relief. He saw Mu Wanlan coming out with a wooden tray to draw water.

Ye Chen stopped her immediately, calling out, “Mu Wanlan, come here.”

Mu Wanlan replied, “Don’t reproach me anymore, I know I was wrong.”

“You realize you were wrong? What on earth were you thinking?” Ye Chen asked.

“What could I have thought?”

“Are you unaware of how distressed Ling’er is? Do you not want her and I to be together?”

Wanlan lifted her head and said, “I certainly hope for you two to be together.”

“Then why, if you hope for us to be together, would you do something like this?” Ye Chen said.

“I have already admitted that I was wrong.”

“Ling’er is troubled and you should have accompanied her instead of causing trouble for me. You should have helped me to intervene, do you understand?”

“I understand.”

“Don’t get upset later, accusing me of abandoning your master.”

Mu Wanlan asked, “You’re not really going to abandon Ling’er and go with Guo Yuyun, are you?”

“If you continue to be so disobedient, I might do just that.”

Mu Wanlan glared at Ye Chen.

“Don’t glare at me. Even I get tired. If you two gang up on me to the point where I’m fed up, I might just give up.” Of course, Ye Chen was speaking out of frustration — at this point, he needed support more than ever.

Hearing this, Mu Wanlan became anxious. “Please don’t, Ling’er has you in her heart. Although she acts as if nothing is wrong, that’s just a front. She can’t accept it, she’s troubled and feels that she’s not good enough for you. She thinks she is a burden and that she will hold you back.”

“That’s even more reason for you to stand by my side. We can slowly work on her mindset together. There will surely be a day when she finally emerges from this,” Ye Chen said.

“Alright, I will listen to you. Is that not enough?”

“I really don’t understand what goes on inside your head.”

Mu Wanlan fell silent.

“Without the help from the people in Demon Palace City, I wouldn’t have known which way you all were headed. When that happens, are you going to come accusing me of being a jerk again?”

Mu Wanlan looked at Ye Chen and asked, “What should we do now? What if we can’t find a healer capable of helping Ling’er stand again?”

Ye Chen glanced out of the window, took a breath, and responded, “We leave it to the heavens.”

“You’re not really going to abandon her if she can’t stand, right? Go back to your Yu Yun?”

“What do you think?”

“You absolutely can’t do that. If you do, Ling’er surely won’t make it.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen gave a faint smile.

“In reality, you are always in her heart. From the moment she survived the Wasteland City ordeal, she’s been constantly muttering about you. She hasn’t forgotten, she’s always reminiscing about you.”

Ye Chen returned to the matter at hand and said, “Let’s find a healer first and hope that Ling’er can stand again. Even if she can’t, we have to carry on living. We can take this time to show her the world. It’ll help brighten her spirits and help us change her mindset.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanlan nodded.

“Alright, remember to stand by my side.”

“I will.”

“Fine, go deal with your things.”

Ye Chen knew he had to be patient. Everything had to be done slowly. He was certain he could help Ling’er overcome the current obstacle. Once she could accept it, everything would be alright.

As Feng Nianmei and Jiang Ouyang had promised, Su Zhanze and Jiang Ouyang joined forces and promoted Yuan Jingxing to become a leader, which was something Yuan Jingxing had never dreamed of.

One night, Su Zhanze called Yuan Jingxing over.

Despite Su Zhanze becoming a Sect Leader, Ren Xiongbei did not take him seriously. He had noticed this.

What’s more, Ren Xiongbei had successfully rallied up a group of people. The people who used to follow Qiao Fanfeng were now following him, and they similarly did not respect him.

He understood that if he wanted them to serve him and obey his orders, he needed to do something to prove that following him was the correct choice.

Su Zhanze noticed Yuan Jingxing entering.

“You called me?” Yuan Jingxing asked.

“Right. You’ve been busy lately?”

“Yes. Many craftsmen and a lot of timber have been brought into the Immortal City. I do have a lot to deal with lately.”

Su Zhanze had delegated the majority of the rebuilding responsibilities to Jiang Ouyang.

“Good, you’re acting like a leader.”

Yuan Jingxing blushed at this comment.

Su Zhanze asked, “How are things with Jiang Shizi?”

Yuan Jingxing blushed even more.

Su Zhanze added, “I told you from the start that there would be something between you two.”

A small smile formed on Yuan Jingxing’s face.

“Once the Immortal City is rebuilt, I’ll hold a grand wedding for you.”

“There’s no hurry.” Yuan Jingxing said.

“You’re all grown now, and you’re the only good brother I have left.”

Yuan Jingxing of course knew what Su Zhanze meant, and was aware of his recent situation, asking, “Haven’t you been researching the Dragon Slayer Sword lately? Have you found any information?”

“There’s a bit of progress. I wish to seclude myself for cultivation.”

“Cultivation?” Yuan Jingxing was somewhat surprised, almost couldn’t believe it. He had just become the Sect Leader and he hated secluding himself for practice.

“Yes, cultivation. You’re the only person I trust wholeheartedly. You’re essentially the only one I can talk with now. I need you to be with me and support me.”

“You don’t even have to say it. Of course I will stand with the Sect Leader.”

“Hey, stop calling me Sect Leader. Just call me brother.”

“No, I can’t do that. You are our Sect Leader.” Yuan Jingxing said.

“Fine. When there are others around, call me Sect Leader. But when it’s just the two of us, call me brother.” Su Zhanze added, “Calling me Sect Leader puts a distance between us.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jingxing let out a slight chuckle.

“Follow me, and I assure you I won’t let you down.”

“Isn’t it too rushed to seclude yourself right now? After all you just became the Sect Leader.” Yuan Jingxing said.

“Yes, it is a bit rushed, I just became the Sect Leader, and now the Immortal City is being rebuilt.” Su Zhanze continued, “However, I believe it won’t be long before the people of Demon Domain join forces and attack Dragon Slayer Island.” He wanted to seize this opportunity to shine, but his martial arts skills were not good. He had to derive some results from the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jingxing said, “But didn’t the people of Demon Palace City agree to postpone it?”

“Even if they did postpone it, it won’t be for long. They can’t drag it till next year when everyone has moved on. With Dragon Slayer Island still around, it will always be a threat. Attacking it is inevitable, and I don’t think it will be delayed for long.”

Listening to this, Yuan Jingxing gave a slight nod.

Su Zhanze continued, “On paper, I am the Sect Leader of Immortal City. However, I only gained this position by a stroke of luck and through acquiring the Dragon Slayer Sword. There are many who don’t acknowledge me. With my current martial arts skills, how can anyone submit to me? I must do something if I want them to acknowledge me. I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jingxing understood.

“You are my best brother. You must help me. Let’s join hands and do something great so that those old fogeys see that we are not just kids.”

“Whatever you need, just tell me.”

Su Zhanze nodded, adding, “Remember, you are with me. Since I won’t be in Immortal City, you have to keep in touch with me.”

“Don’t worry.”

“I believe they won’t attack Dragon Slayer Island immediately. It’s unrealistic. It will definitely take some time. I must use this time to seclude myself for cultivation and make preparations for the future attack on Dragon Slayer Island.”

Yuan Jingxing said, “Have you talked to Master Jiang about it?”

“I will talk to Master Jiang. But the most important person is you. Follow me. If there is any opportunity, I will fight for it for you. Stick with me, and watch. The Immortal City will be ours in the future.”

For Yuan Jingxing, who didn’t have any competitive spirit and didn’t come from any special background, his lofty dreams had already been fulfilled by becoming a leader.

“Hey, don’t be so easily satisfied. If you want Jiang Ouyang to respect you, you need to strive. Otherwise, how can you provide happiness for that girl Jiang Shizi?”

Yuan Jingxing chuckled in response.

“Don’t worry. The situation is very favorable for us now. The Dragon Slayer Sword is in my hands, if I can fully understand it and lead an attack to break through Dragon Slayer Island, I wonder if that old fellow Ren Xiongbei will dare to look down on me.” Su Zhanze stood up as he was speaking.

“Rest assured, if anything happens, I will inform you in time.”

“Mm, you are my only brother now, I will not let you down.”

“You don’t need to keep saying that, I will always stand with you.”

“Don’t hang out with Ren Haotian. He’s a bad egg. He might be plotting a trap for you to fall into.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jingxing nodded.

Although Jiang Ouyang had supported Su Zhanze, he knew he lacked the strength to control Jiang Ouyang. The only reliable person he could count on was Yuan Jingxing. If there wasn’t anyone to help him and he secluded himself for cultivation on a mountain, everything that happened in Immortal City would seemingly have nothing to do with him.

Yuan Jingxing asked, “Are you planning to cultivate alone?”

“No, He Weng will accompany me.”

“That’s good.”

Su Zhanze added, “Also, keep an eye on the Demon Domain for me, see if there is any news. I believe that after driving out the remnants of the Beast and Evil Realms, the next step would be dealing with Dragon Slayer Island.”

“Mm, understood.”

“Despite being the Sect Leader, if you don’t do anything, no one will respect you. Just like you. Yes, you have been pulled up now, but I imagine when you are facing that old fellow Ren Xiongbei or Qiao Haoyu, they will definitely show you some colors. If you want them to respect you, you must achieve something, otherwise they will just dump you.”

Yuan Jingxing nodded.

“Take your time, attacking Dragon Slayer Island is a good opportunity, but I must understand the Dragon Slayer Sword and improve my martial arts skills in a short time. Otherwise, everything will be in vain. We need to fight for ourselves. Otherwise, you might have to live under others’ influence for the rest of your life.”

“When are you planning to go up the mountain for cultivation?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Mm, if there’s anything, you can look for my mother. She will also try to help you as much as possible. You can also look for your future father-in-law.”

Yuan Jingxing of course knew that his ascension had much to do with Su Zhanze and Jiang Ouyang.

“Hehe, your future father-in-law has put a lot of efforts into getting you here.”
