Chapter 981 - 981 967 Persistent Heart

Chapter 981: Chapter 967: Persistent Heart Chapter 981: Chapter 967: Persistent Heart Ye Chen put on his clothes and was about to head back to the courtyard, but before he arrived, he noticed someone wandering aimlessly on the small hillside, as if they were there waiting for him specifically.

When he saw clearly, it turned out to be Guo Yuqing. What was she doing here? Suddenly, he remembered Su Zhanze.

Whether Su Zhanze was dead or not, no one knew, and he had also heard about Su Zhanze and Guo Yuqing.

“Why are you here? Aren’t you going back to rest?” Ye Chen asked with concern.

Guo Yuqing turned her head and said, “I don’t feel like resting so early.” Her eyes looked at him affectionately, and she crossed her arms around her chest.

“Don’t worry, Yun’er will be fine.”

“Mhm.” Guo Yuqing wasn’t worried about Yun’er anymore, but she was concerned about him, knowing that he carried magic power.

Ye Chen stopped and then said, “I’ve heard about what happened with Su Zhanze; I really don’t know what to say to comfort you.”

Guo Yuqing, with her head lowered, threw out a sentence, “She and I are impossible now.”

He didn’t understand what she meant, why she was telling him this.

Guo Yuqing also felt it was not appropriate and quickly explained, “So many people died in Demon Palace City, my father died too, I cannot accept him anymore.”

“But after all, you are husband and wife, and there was a reason for it, he was trying to save you,” Ye Chen really wanted to say something nice.

“Yes, but I can’t do it…” she said while glancing at Ye Chen.

“I’m preparing to leave.”

“To leave?”

“To look for the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Yes, you should go find the Sacred Spirit Stone, maybe it can save you,” Guo Yuqing had also heard from Divine Doctor Zhu that the Sacred Spirit Stone could destroy the ring; perhaps it might remove the magic power from his body.

“You take good care of Yu Yun.”

“Yun’er still needs you to take care of her.”

“I can’t take care of her anymore; I have to leave her,” said Ye Chen.

“What do you mean?” Suddenly she seemed to understand; he was afraid that it would be dangerous for Yun’er to follow him, that must be it.

“This time was a fluke, I don’t want such things to happen again, now, I also don’t know if I can really rid myself of the magic power, but I do know the power will grow stronger, and it’s possible that I won’t be able to control it anymore, you know Divine Doctor Zhu’s diagnosis of me,” Ye Chen certainly knew that Guo Yuyun was a very stubborn person, and without declaring his death, she would not be satisfied.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to get away from my sister, even if you reach the ends of the earth, she will do everything she can to find you,” Guo Yuqing knew Yun’er’s character.

“Tell her I’m already dead, please make sure she believes it.” Ye Chen turned around and headed toward the courtyard.

Guo Yuqing stood there stunned, not understanding why he was so resolute; was it because of her? Could he not face her?

No, he didn’t want to bring harm to her; Guo Yuqing hadn’t recovered yet, her whole person was in a daze.

In the early morning, Ye Chen woke up to find Yang Tao’er and Guo Yuqing busy preparing breakfast.

Ye Chen came out and saw Li Mo helping as well, and called him, “Li Mo, come here first.”

Li Mo hurried over, not knowing what the Sect Leader wanted with him.

Ye Chen said, “Send this note to Jiang Zhuge by carrier pigeon.”

Li Mo took it, unconsciously opened it, and was stunned, saying excitedly, “What, it says you died on Sky Mountain.”

Just as Rong’er came out, she was startled and shouted, “What about dying on Sky Mountain?”

“Can you keep it down?” Ye Chen was startled by Li Mo’s excitement as well.

“What is this supposed to mean?” Wan Danrong demanded.

“The people from the Immortal and Demon Realms are after me, right? Hence, if I say I died on Sky Mountain, there will be no unnecessary trouble,” Ye Chen decided that if he was going to deceive Guo Yuyun, then he should do so convincingly, deceiving the whole world; otherwise, that girl would surely see through it.

Li Mo, having understood, nodded slightly and murmured, “That could work, they could give up the search for you.”

“Send the message by carrier pigeon to him now, don’t delay.”

Ye Chen was about to wash his face by the lakeside, with Rong’er closely following behind, saying, “You seem troubled.”

“What troubles could I have?”

“I can understand, you don’t know how to face the two sisters,” Wan Danrong looked at Ye Chen’s face.

Ye Chen gave a cold laugh, then suddenly became earnest and said, “Rong’er, go back to the Wastelands, go back to Wanshou City.”

“We haven’t found a way to remove the magic power for you yet.”

“Don’t get involved in this matter.”

“I want to help you.”

“The best help you can give me is not to stay at my side,” Ye Chen said very seriously.

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t want anyone around me to get hurt. Just because Yun’er was safe this time doesn’t mean she’ll be lucky next time.”

Wan Danrong responded, “Hey, don’t be so defeatist, it’s not that bad yet.”

“I’m not being defeatist, I’m telling you the reality, I don’t want any of you to get hurt, absolutely not, so I won’t take you with me.”

“You’re going to search for the Sacred Spirit Stone on your own?”

“I’ll take Li Mo with me,” Ye Chen replied.

At that moment, Guo Yuqing just happened to come over to wash the vegetables and overheard their conversation.

Ye Chen greeted Guo Yuqing and then turned to leave, with Wan Danrong following closely behind him.

“Aren’t you going to take Guo Yuyun with you?”

“I’ll deceive her by saying I’m already dead.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Danrong was stunned, unsure of what her master meant. By the time she came to her senses, Ye Chen had already headed towards the other side of the courtyard.

Ye Chen went straight to Guo Yuyun’s room, where he saw Divine Doctor Zhu taking her pulse. He asked, “Divine Doctor, how is she?”

“She will wake up in two or three days. Don’t worry.”

“That’s truly a relief. Thank you so much.”

“Why be so formal with me?” Divine Doctor Zhu put down his hand and left.

Ye Chen stayed alone by Guo Yuyun’s side, feeling agitated and extremely guilty. He felt like he had no face to see her anymore and could only go back on his word,

I hope you won’t hate me. I just don’t want you to get hurt, forgive me.

Ye Chen gazed at her gaunt face and felt he had no other choice. It wasn’t because he was heartless, but because he truly didn’t want to see her hurt. I’m sorry.

He didn’t know how long he had sat there.

Yang Tao’er and the others had already prepared breakfast and were urging him to come out and eat.

However, the atmosphere at breakfast was very solemn and somewhat suffocating. Everyone was mostly silent, as if holding something back in their hearts. Eventually, Ye Chen couldn’t take it anymore and said, “What is it? Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Yang Tao’er was the first to speak up, saying, “I heard you’re planning to deceive Guo Yuyun by telling her you’re already dead.” She had learned it from Wan Danrong.

It was necessary to clear things up with them. To keep the secret from Guo Yuyun, they had to help. “Yes, I am indeed planning to do that.”

“Why?” Yang Tao’er asked.

Besides Divine Doctor Zhu, who had left after eating, Wan Danrong, Li Mo, and Guo Yuqing were all present.

Ye Chen glanced at Guo Yuqing and explained, “Right now I can’t guarantee that I’ll truly be able to suppress the magic power of the Wolf King’s Ring. I could relapse at any time. You all heard Divine Doctor Zhu’s diagnosis, and it will only get worse. I don’t want a repeat of what happened in Bell and Drum City.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao’er commented, “The incident in Bell and Drum City was an accident.”

Ye Chen laughed and replied, “It wasn’t an accident. I’m only going to get worse. Whether I’ll ever recover, even your godfather said, it’s just a possibility.”

“So you have to deceive Guo Yuyun by saying you’ve died?” Yang Tao’er asked, glancing at Guo Yuqing, who was looking down and didn’t dare speak.

“Ah, don’t worry about my affairs. Just do me a favor and help me lie to her,” Ye Chen continued, “Perhaps not knowing me, she might live a better life.”

“But what’s the use of saying all this now?” Yang Tao’er thought for a moment, seeming to have almost figured it out.

“Just help me out, please. Soon, all of this will be over.”

“How do you plan on having us deceive her?” Yang Tao’er asked with confusion.

Indeed, a convincing reason was needed, especially for someone as smart as Guo Yuyun. Ye Chen answered, “Just say that I was buried alive by a mountainside accident while searching for the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus on Sky Mountain, and that it was Ling Bo who brought back the Snow Lotus.”

“You really have thought everything through.”

Ye Chen looked down, sipping his tea.

“Then what, are you planning to hang yourself in a place where nobody knows you?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled faintly and replied, “Not yet. I will seek out the Sacred Spirit Sect to see if I’m really that lucky to be saved.”

“And if the Sacred Spirit Stone can’t help?”

“Then I’ll find a place facing the sea, where the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, to hang myself.”

There was a cough from up ahead; Shi Xueqin had woken up.

Wan Danrong quickly stood up and headed in that direction. Shi Xueqin, confused, asked, “Where is this place?” She had no recollection of what happened the night before.

“This is at Dragonfly Mountain, Divine Doctor Zhu’s lair. You fainted last night, and it was Ye Chen and Li Mo who carried you up the mountain,” Wan Danrong went over, supporting her so she wouldn’t fall, thankful to Shi Xueqin for not having been left behind on Great Demon Mountain.

“Who are you?” Shi Xueqin didn’t remember her immediately.

Wan Danrong quickly said, “Great Demon Mountain of Kunlun Mountain.”

At those words, Shi Xueqin’s memories came flooding back.

“I haven’t properly thanked you yet. If it hadn’t been for your plea, I would have remained on Great Demon Mountain forever.”

“It was just a small effort.”

“You must be hungry; come and eat something but be careful not to bump yourself.”

Li Mo made room for her straight away.

Shi Xueqin walked in, a little embarrassed, recognizing these people as the Sect Leader and members of the Immortal City Sect.

They became quiet all of a sudden. Shi Xueqin expressed her gratitude once again.
