Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 592 - 592 578 Exposure

Chapter 592: Chapter 578: Exposure Chapter 592: Chapter 578: Exposure Ding Yunjie was already leaning against the city wall, waiting for them to enter the room.

“What’s the big deal? You’re acting so flustered, someone might think you’ve come to have an affair with me,” said Ye Chen.

“Flustered or not, rumor has it that the Sect Leader of the New City Sect is at the Wan Residence, do you know that you’re said to be at the Wan Residence?” Feng Niang yelled.

Ding Yunjie, who was leaning on the city wall, overheard this. He had just heard the same rumor, that the Sect Leader of the New City Sect was in Wanshou City, and more specifically at the Wan Residence. He had initially thought it was all nonsense.

“I just heard about it.”

“You heard about it, don’t you realize the danger in this?”

“Ah, there’s no rush, it’s just a baseless rumor.”

“No rush? Do you truly think I’m joking!” Feng Niang continued, “Who could have leaked the fact that you’re at the Wan Residence?”

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, “I suspect it’s Gui Lang.”

“Gui Lang, who’s that?”

“He’s the leader of the group who tried to kidnap you last time. He used to work for Gua Zhengnie. He knows me. I’ve captured him once before, it’s likely he spread the news about me,” Ye Chen speculated.

“Well then, you better leave immediately.”

“No worry, Gui Lang is just spreading rumors. He only knows that I saved you and Wan Danrong, but he has no idea that I’m in the Wan Residence, let alone my alias, or that I’ve become Wan Danrong’s master.”

“So, your implication is that Gui Lang truly spread the rumors?”

“Besides him, I can’t think of a second person.”

“Even so, you can’t stay at the Wan Residence. Though he’s making baseless remarks, there’s indeed danger here. You must leave immediately,” said Feng Niang in a frantic tone.

Ye Chen ate a couple of oranges and said, “Easy, it’s not as urgent as you think.”

“Not urgent? What if the people of the Third Demon believe it?”

“Rest assured, I will leave. Just let me rest for a few days.”

“What’s there for you to rest?”

Ye Chen has been trying to get in touch with the members of the New City Sect these days, waiting for their news. He said, “I’m contacting people from the New City Sect. Once I get in touch with them, I can leave.”

“You’re contacting them?”

“Of course, didn’t you convince me to go back to the New City Sect for the sake of the common people!”

“Did you get hold of them yet?”

“Probably soon. The Wastelands are a bit chaotic right now and the people from the New City Sect are in dark areas. It won’t be possible to get in touch with them quickly. But in a few days, there will be news. As soon as there’s news, I will leave immediately.”

Feng Niang finally settled down after hearing this.

“They won’t come that quickly. Maybe the people of the Third Demon won’t believe it,” said Ye Chen.

“Not yet! Rumors are flying around.”

“The Third Demon isn’t stupid, they won’t casually believe in such rumors.”

“But what if they do believe it?”

“Give me a reason. Why would I leave the people of the New City Sect and run to Wanshou City at such a time?”

“Yes, why did you come to Wanshou City in the first place?”

“Who knows? Maybe I came to Wanshou City for a breath of fresh air,” Ye Chen continued eating his oranges.

“Don’t be so frantic, people might really think we’re having an affair.”

A slap came flying over.

Ye Chen dodged, saying, “Once I find them, once I have their news, I’ll leave. It’s just a matter of a few more days.”

“You’ve made up your mind.”

“Weren’t these your suggestions! I’ve been listening to you.”

“Don’t make it sound so pleasant.”

“Once I leave, I don’t know if we’ll ever have a chance to meet again.”

Ding Yunjie stumbled off the city wall in a daze, muttering to himself, “So he’s the Sect Leader of the New City Sect! No wonder his martial arts skills are so great.”

As he headed back to his courtyard, he continued to ponder. If he really left, that would be a good thing. As he thought this, he found himself unconsciously pleased.

He hadn’t even made it into the courtyard when Wang Dong hurried in after him, saying, “I don’t know who started the rumor that the Sect Leader of the New City Sect is in our Wan Residence. It’s such a bizarre story, how could anyone believe it? If the Sect Leader of the New City Sect was in our residence, how could I possibly not know?”

Ding Yunjie casually replied, “The Sect Leader of the New City Sect is indeed at our Wan Residence.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong’s eyes widened in surprise, but Ding Yunjie wasn’t startled.

Wang Dong asked, “The Sect Leader of the New City Sect is at our residence, who is it? How come I don’t know?”

“That drunkard.”

“A drunkard, are you joking? How could a drunkard be the Sect Leader of the New City Sect?”

Ding Yunjie answered, “I just ran into the lady trying to sneak into Brother Ye’s yard. I followed behind and overheard their conversation. Lady Feng knows the drunkard’s identity.”

“The lady knows the drunkard’s identity? Is that possible?”

“Yes, the lady wants him to leave as soon as possible, fearing he would be in danger if he stayed.”

Wang Dong took a sip of tea, murmuring in thought, then asked again, “Who leaked the news about his being in the Wan Residence?”

Ding Yunjie replied, “From what I heard, it was the masked man who knew the drunkard from the time they captured Feng Niang. He knew the drunkard’s identity and said he was in Wanshou City, even going so far as to say he was in the Wan Residence. However, most of the later news was nonsense. He didn’t know that the drunkard was in the Wan Residence, let alone that the drunkard was Rong’er’s master.”

“Why did the New City Sect Leader come to Wanshou City? Shouldn’t he be with the New City Sect?”

“He said he was here to clear his mind. Probably he got distressed and couldn’t handle it,” Ding Yunjie recalled Ye Chen’s appearance when he first saw him.

“The Sect Leader of the New City Sect is called Ye Chen, right?”

“Yes.”

“So he changed his surname to Ye. It appears to be true.” Wang Dong said.

Ding Yunjie suddenly looked up and said, “He shouldn’t stay here too long, and you shouldn’t spread this around.” He worried that the Wan Residence would bring trouble upon itself.

“Leave?”

“I heard he’ll leave in a few days after making contact with the New City Sect. Don’t stir things up.” Ding Yunjie was still worried about causing trouble for the Wan Residence.

Wang Dong picked up a wild pear and took a bite, chuckled, “Don’t worry, I won’t go around spreading rumors. I’m still curious, though. Why has the Sect Leader of the New City Sect come to the Wan Residence? Does the master know?”

“The master certainly doesn’t know. I think only Feng Niang knows,” said Ding Yunjie.

“This chap is the leader of the New City Sect. Who would’ve thought, a beggar could be the Sect Leader of the New City Sect,” Wang Dong shook his head.

“Where did you hear that nonsense?”

“No, well…” Wang Dong mumbled, “No wonder the drunk’s martial arts skills are so great.”

“Didn’t I tell you, stop messing around with outsiders!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t keep their company anymore.”

“You’ll get into trouble sooner or later,” Ding Yunjie said.

Wang Dong didn’t want to listen to his nonsense, he stood up and said, “Hey, I don’t need to hear any more. If he is really leaving soon, that’s good. Then, you can take your time cultivating your relationship with Wan Danrong.”

“Just mind your own business.”

“I’m leaving.”

“Don’t cause me any trouble.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Wang Dong then ran off again.

Once he left the back door, Wang Dong was targeted by a major creditor, who was none other than the only heir of the Lin Family, Lin Yongwen.

Only after taking a few steps did Wang Dong realize that something was wrong. Lin Yongwen was waiting for him up front. He quickly tried to retreat back to the Wan Residence, but his way back was already blocked.

A dozen big men rushed up and pinned him down like a crab.

Lin Yongwen slapped his forehead fiercely, yelling, “Now run! I want to see where you can run.”

“Why would I dare to run?”

A palm slapped Wang Dong’s face. Lin Yongwen ordered, “Take him back to the gambling den first.”

In a dungeon, there were all sorts of torture instruments.

Wang Dong was already pinned down on an iron frame, awaiting his turn to have his teeth and fingernails pulled out.

Lin Yongwen was stroking a cat while swinging a glowing red branding iron in his other hand.

Wang Dong was so scared that he was about to wet his pants. In a panic, he said, “Sir Lin, you can’t use private torture.”

“No private torture! What about the money you owe me?”

“I will pay it back.”

“This isn’t the first time you’ve said this. Now more and more people owe me money. If I don’t use some private torture, people won’t take my words seriously. I need to make an example of someone; otherwise, everyone will think I’m just bluffing.”

“You can’t just use private torture, it’s against the law. I’ll have you arrested.”

“Illegal? You not paying me my money, that’s illegal. Go ahead and try to arrest me.”

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t pay you. I will pay as soon as I have the money.”

“No need, just chop off one of his hands, let people see if I’m bluffing.”

“I belong to the Wan family, you dare to cut off my hand.”

“Oh, you’re trying to intimidate me? Even if you’re from the Wan family, or if you’re the Heavenly King himself, I’m still going to chop your hand off today,” Lin Yongwen muttered.

Two burly men with butchering knives approached, ready to do it.

Wang Dong was scared and he was sweating profusely. He was unable to move a muscle, he suddenly said, “Wait, I have a way. You want your money, right? I can repay you.”

Lin Yongwen waved his hand, looked at Wang Dong doubtfully, and asked, “What way?” The red-hot branding iron was swaying in front of Wang Dong’s eyes, ready to be pressed against his face at any moment.

“Have you heard about the New City’s Sect Leader?”

“What do you mean?”

“The sect leader of New City Sect is in our Wan Residence. He’s also the Third Demon’s most wanted criminal. If you arrest him, you can get a thousand taels of gold, enough to clear my gambling debt, right?”

“Absolute nonsense! Who knows which egghead made up the rumor that the Sect Leader of New City is at your Wan Residence? Do you really think I’m a fool?” Lin Yongwen gave him two more hot slaps.

“No! It’s true. Let me down, and I’ll tell you all about it.”

Although Lin Yongwen was dubious, he knew Wang Dong couldn’t run away.

Wang Dong described everything that Ding Yunjie had discovered earlier today.

Lin Yongwen looked at Wang Dong, still doubting. He couldn’t help but be on guard against the lies of this gambler.

Wang Dong said, “I wouldn’t dare to lie to you for fear of my life. I can’t run away, I’m right here at the Wan Residence. Doesn’t your family know people from the Third Demon? Send someone over, capture him and then everything will be clear.”
