Chapter 670 - 670 656 Gui Langs Cunning Plan

Chapter 670: Chapter 656: Gui Lang’s Cunning Plan Chapter 670: Chapter 656: Gui Lang’s Cunning Plan Ye Chen suddenly said out of curiosity, “You and Qing’er are sisters, why aren’t your characters alike at all?”

“Are you implying that I can’t compare to my sister, that my sister is more appealing than me?” Yun’er glared back.

“No, just looking for some discussion.”

“Even though we are sisters, we are not from the same mother. She takes after her mother and I take after mine.” Guo Yuyun suddenly asked hesitantly, “You shouldn’t tell me that you still have feelings for my sister!”

“Of course not, don’t overthink it.”

“You certainly would be cheap if it’s true.”

“I heard that at the time, your mother wanted to marry you to Su Zhanze, not your sister. Why didn’t you agree?”

“Wow, you’re really prying. I thought you weren’t interested in this.”

“Curious.”

“I just don’t like Su Zhanze. He’s not my type, he lacks masculinity, and he’s not interesting at all.”

“So, that means I am quite masculine.” Ye Chen said, laughing.

“Nonsense! And you dare to claim that you are masculine, you country bumpkin!”

It’s been a long time since he’d heard these three words. He complained, “How can I be a country bumpkin?”

“Haha, it seems you really care about being referred to as a country bumpkin. My sister did say you especially disliked being called that, but I didn’t believe her.”

Ye Chen nibbled on his barbecue ribs.

“Do you feel regretful that it was my sister, not me, who ended up marrying Su Zhanze?”

Ye Chen lifted his head, put on a false smile, and replied, “I genuinely do feel a bit regrettable.”

“Stop being so cheap, will you!” Guo Yuyun snapped, flaring her nose. She also added, “My sister is already pregnant.”

Ye Chen looked at her. This girl loved to provoke him.

“I’m not joking, seriously even if she wasn’t pregnant, they are already married. Stop dwelling on it!”

“Did I ever say I was dwelling on it?”

“Just focus on living your own life well, why think about all this pointless stuff? People meet so many passing strangers throughout their lifetime, there really isn’t time to reminisce about the past. It’s most important to live in the present well. Being stuck in yesterday is too extreme, you need to let go of whatever needs letting go, otherwise, you are doomed to live a terrible life.”

“When I chose Ling’er, why couldn’t you let go then?”

“Because I know you are mine.”

“Pretty confident there.” Ye Chen smiled faintly.

“Of course, confidence is a must.”

“If only everyone could be like you, acting as if nothing had ever happened.”

Upon hearing this, the Red Demonic Spirit scoffed, “Bullshit, you didn’t see how she was that month.”

Yun’er retorted, “You’ve lived for a thousand years, old monster, who asked for your input!”

Ye Chen burst into laughter.

“She’s a bit better now, but those days she was unbearable. Her mother introduced her to more than a dozen talented men, but she scared each one off.” The Red Demonic Spirit continued.

“Oh, her mother has started to find suitors for her already.”

“Isn’t it said that the best way to get over a relationship is to start a new one?”

Ye Chen nodded slightly. Back then, Li Mo and the others had forced him this way.

Ye Chen laughed and said, “But surely none of them could be more outstanding than me.”

“Each and every one of them is more outstanding than you.” Yun’er replied.

“If that’s the case, why didn’t she choose any of them?”

“I just didn’t like them.”

“It’s a pity you didn’t see her then, what a mess she was.” The Red Demonic Spirit continued, “She’s fortunate she met me, if I hadn’t scolded and guided her, she’d be a drunk by now.”

Out of curiosity, Ye Chen asked, “What did you scold her about?”

Yun’er glared at the Red Demonic Spirit, who quickly shut up and curled back into Yun’er’s body.

Unconsciously, it was already midnight. The streets were slowly becoming deserted, and the food crowd had gradually dissipated.

Ye Chen stood up and left a piece of silver.

“Had enough to eat?”

Yun’er picked up another skewer of meat before she left.

“Haha, you can stuff so much food in your stomach. You can eat even more than me,” Ye Chen worried she might burst.

Yun’er replied, “Being able to eat is a blessing, that’s what my father used to say.”

“Right, a person who can eat for two must be very fortunate indeed,” added Ye Chen.

“Shall we go home?”

“Of course, unless you still want to watch a play. I don’t particularly enjoy watching plays.”

“How about going for some drinks?”

Ye Chen laughed, “Let’s not. I’m worried you won’t be able to handle it and you’ll end up setting the Piaoxiang Tavern on fire.”

“I’m not that hot-headed.”

“Really?”

“Of course.” The two of them continued walking down the street.

Gui Lang had done a lot for the No. One Heroes after joining them. However, Yang Jing was too self-serving. He had been the second in command, but after the effeminate Shi Mu arrived, he was unceremoniously kicked out to Futu City, which upset him greatly.

He saw his eventual fate mirrored in what happened to Jue Ming – a dispensable piece in Yang Jing’s grand scheme. Should he be deemed useful, he would be kept. Otherwise, he would be discarded without a second thought. Sentiments did not matter in the least.

The more he ruminated on this, the more he felt that his life was not worth risking for Yang Jing. At that time, the Third Demon was defeated by the New City Sect, leading to a three-way power balance.

The Third Demon, No. One Heroes, and New City Sect each controlled a different area. In his view, unless something unexpected happened, they would be at a stalemate for a long time. None of them could easily overpower and absorb the other factions.

He saw this as an opportunity to sever ties with the No. One Heroes and the cold-blooded Yang Jing and strike out independently.

With the power he had cultivated and the aid of Er Gui and San Gui, he felt confident he could rule a territory on his own.

However, he knew that if he were to leave the No. One Heroes, it would certainly incite the wrath of Yang Jing. But he believed that once he left, the No. One Heroes would inevitably weaken. Moreover, the Third Demon and New City Sect would still remain as threats. He doubted that Yang Jing would risk fighting on two fronts to destroy him, even if Yang Jing were to succeed, it would come at a heavy cost. Yang Jing might even end up becoming prey for the Third Demon and New City Sect.

He loathed to be a plaything of Yang Jing, he just needed to ascertain Er Gui and San Gui’s intentions.

He also wanted to be boss, no matter how weak he might be. He saw Yang Jing as nothing more than a homeless vagabond and a thief.

Without Jue Ming’s help, Yang Jing wouldn’t have been able to take over Ghost City.

Without his help, Yang Jing wouldn’t have been able to expand so much.

Even without the assistance of the effeminate Shi Mu, how could Yang Jing have defeated Yuan Menhai and captured Bishui City afterward?

All Yang Jing cared about were women. It was not worth it to follow such a man and have an uneasy feeling always gnawing at his mind.

He saw a glimmer of hope if he could convince Er Gui and San Gui to leave the No. One Heroes, and then take over Bishui City for themselves.

Er Gui and San Gui were also quite displeased recently. He had initially wanted to stay at Ghost City, but now even Ghost City was gone. He was directly pushed to Futu City and he felt extremely wronged and resentful.

Once upon a time, they, the four major villains, were all comfortable living in the Ghost City. All of them were separated all because of rescuing Yang Jing. Two of them even died. The remaining ones helped Yang Jing strengthen the No. One Heroes, but they were kicked out to Futu City, a place so desolate that not even birds would defecate there. How could they be happy?

That night, a disgruntled Gui Lang invited Er Gui, San Gui, and a group of others for some drinks.

Gui Lang declared, “Hey, everyone, I’ve enjoyed working with you all these two months. However, I’ve decided to leave the No. One Heroes.”

Upon hearing this, Er Gui asked in confusion, “Gui Lang, you’re leaving the No. One Heroes? The organization is at its peak right now.”

“Yes, I want to leave.” Gui Lang took a swig of his drink.

“What do you mean? This is the time for us, the No. One Heroes, to keep growing stronger,” said San Gui.

“Hehe, is that so? But so what? Do we have any opportunities here? Is Yang Jing the kind of person who shares his fortune with others?” Gui Lang continued drinking.

Er Gui and San Gui fell silent.

With a cold laugh, Gui Lang stated, “Honestly, I initially came to the No. One Heroes with the intention of helping Yang Jing. I’ve been working hard all this while. But it’s disheartening. Yang Jing is the kind of person who leaves you to deal with hardships alone and is unwilling to share good fortune. He only thinks about himself. Today, he’ll laugh and banter with us because we’re useful to him, but tomorrow, if we’re no longer of use, he’ll cast us aside immediately. Isn’t Jue Ming the best example of this?”

Er Gui and San Gui glanced at each other, unsure of what to say. In fact, Gui Lang had hit a nerve. They felt the same.

“Jue Ming helped Yang Jing establish the No. One Heroes. But as soon as Shi Mu, that effeminate man, showed up, Jue Ming was demoted to a patrol leader. We don’t know what tricks Shi Mu played, but we were also expelled here to Futu City, a place where not even birds would shit! I think it won’t take long before we’re worse off than Jue Ming. It’s disheartening!” Gui Lang griped as he continued to drink.

Er Gui asked, “So where are you planning to go?”

“There are so many places in the world, there’s bound to be somewhere for me. It’s better than staying with the cold-blooded No. One Heroes. It’s just not worth it to risk everything for the No. One Heroes, it’s too disheartening.” Gui Lang was extremely displeased, though he hadn’t explicitly stated so. He was very unhappy.

“When you leave, what about us?” asked San Gui.

“You two can continue to stay in Futu City.”

“But then, won’t we miss out on any opportunities?” Er Gui understood that the success they had achieved during this period was all because of Gui Lang’s strategies and plots.

“Who said? Maybe when Yang Jing conquers the Wastelands, you two might become bigger leaders. Who knows, he may even let you rule Sky Domain City.”

Knowing he was joking, San Gui managed a cold, dutiful laugh in response.
