Chapter 409: Chapter 0409: Don’t Misunderstand (Fifth Update)

"The reason you failed is because you were too arrogant," Chu Ge slowly walked to Elder Gui’s side, by now both had slowly descended from mid-air back to the ground.

"You thought that just with your poison you could trap and kill me, but you forgot that your poison isn’t unique—others can detoxify as well."

Chu Ge was right, Elder Gui had indeed been overly arrogant.

With a somewhat ashamed expression, he closed his eyes and quietly awaited the disappearance of his life.

All around, everything had returned to quiet; Chu Ge slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping around. This place was once where Spiritual Energy was strongest, yet now it had become his battlefield, a sin indeed.

Elder Gui was dead.

His body slowly transformed into a wisp of black mist and then vanished into the air. When Chu Ge descended the mountain alone, he saw everyone looking at him with extremely strange gazes.

Chu Ge found it amusing, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Do you think the person who should be coming down from the mountain isn’t me?"

"Is Elder Gui really dead?" Huo Tianqian asked somewhat doubtfully, "He is capable of the Clone Technique, what if..."

"There are no what-ifs." Chu Ge shook his head, "He is dead. I saw it with my own eyes. He had already expanded the poison he could control to the extreme, no longer having any capability or energy left to create clones."

Huo Tianqian half understood; he nodded his head. Regardless, it was good that Chu Ge won and was unharmed, otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to explain to Miss Ouyang.

When he came here, Miss Ouyang had specifically found him, reminding him to take good care of Chu Ge. Watching the refreshingly unhindered Chu Ge, Huo Tianqian couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

Youth is truly wonderful.

As if nothing had happened, Chu Ge left with them down the mountain, returning to the city. The flowers blooming all around seemed blissfully unaware of their recent brush with death, flourishing vibrantly.

As soon as the group returned to the Tang Family residence, Chu Ge received a call from Shen Yaoyao.

"Where on earth have you died to? Didn’t we agree that you would accompany me home today?" Shen Yaoyao asked impatiently.

Talking about how meeting now would be too sudden, discussing that they should prepare more thoroughly—this preparation turned out to be three days.

During these three days, she almost never saw a trace of Chu Ge, and she had no idea what on earth he was busy with, scarcely seeing Tang Xin and Nangong Man Sha as well.

During this time, the Xiao Shen Family had already called her. Naturally, it wasn’t her parents who called, nor was it her grandfather, but Shen Mimi.

Shen Mimi told her that she had informed the Old Master about her return to Su City, and also about her having a boyfriend.

Shen Yaoyao was quite furious but also felt some heartache. Since the Old Master knew about her return to Su City, why hadn’t they called her even once? Were they still angry with her?

Thinking about it, it made sense. She had been gone for so long without calling back, and before she left, she had said some pretty harsh words—grandfather must have been extremely hurt.

Shen Yaoyao had originally planned to visit her grandfather today, but this Chu Ge, she was clueless about what he was doing all day, never seeing him, leaving her alone at the Tang Family home feeling bored and upset.

When Shen Yaoyao called Chu Ge, he had already arrived at the Tang Family’s doorstep, hung up the phone, and returned to the Little Red Building, where he saw Shen Yaoyao standing at the staircase doorway with an unhappy face, hands on her hips, glaring at Chu Ge.

"Where have you been today?" Shen Yaoyao’s gaze shifted slowly from Chu Ge onto the line of people behind him.

This time, apart from Nangong Man Sha and Tang Xin, two girls following him, there were also two more faces—one was Huo Tianqian, whom she recognized; the other seemed somewhat familiar, yet she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

However, Shen Congwen recognized Shen Yaoyao at a glance and asked in surprise, "Yaoyao? What are you doing here?"

Shen Yaoyao looked at him with suspicion, "You know me?"

Shen Congwen was taken aback, then cleared his throat, and with a somewhat embarrassed smile said, "Yaoyao, have you so quickly forgotten about me?"

Shen Yaoyao tilted her head and pondered for quite a while before she suddenly remembered who he was, her cheeks instantly feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

She laughed awkwardly, saying, "So it’s you, sorry, I didn’t remember for the moment."

Chu Ge glanced at Shen Yaoyao, then at Shen Congwen, sensing something odd about these two.

Tang Xin, who was beside him, asked with some surprise, "What? You two know each other?"

Shen Congwen nodded, then pointed at Shen Yaoyao and said, "Back then, Yaoyao and I had a rather ridiculous story between us, but that’s all in the past now. Turns out you all know each other too, what a coincidence."

Tang Xin’s dubious gaze shifted between Shen Yaoyao and then Chu Ge, feeling curious. Didn’t Shen Yaoyao say she didn’t know anyone in Su City?

Since Chu Ge and Shen Congwen did not continue the topic, Tang Xin also did not intend to keep asking.

But for Shen Yaoyao, she appeared somewhat embarrassed, tugging at Chu Ge and heading upstairs, "I’ve prepared some clothes for you. Hurry up and change, then come back home with me!"

Shen Yaoyao spoke with a bit of urgency, her voice not loud, but it echoed in the hallway, clear to everyone following behind.

The crowd exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled.

Huo Tianqian, seeing that they might have misunderstood something, hurriedly explained, "Miss Yaoyao is just asking Mr. Chu for a favor. It’s not the kind of relationship you are thinking of."

Just kidding, even fools can see that Tang Xin and Nangong Man Sha have a thing for Chu Ge, to say nothing of the fact that both families are prominent. No one wants to offend either.

Huo Tianqian certainly didn’t want Chu Ge to get involved in these women’s disputes, so he kindly explained on his behalf.

Tang Xin asked in confusion, "Is Shen Yaoyao from Su City?"

Shen Congwen nodded and said, "Yes, didn’t you know? She’s from the Xiao Shen Family. Just that, in the past few years, she had a fallout with her family and ran away. Recently, I’ve heard that the old master of the Xiao Shen Family is seriously ill, so perhaps that’s why she’s returned."

Huo Tianqian, Tang Xin, and Nangong Man Sha all looked at him with strange glances, their eyes clearly conveying that there was something between him and Shen Yaoyao.

Shen Congwen expressed his innocence. He raised his hands, swore, and said, "There’s nothing between us. Just that our families... our families had once introduced us, but later because she was too young, it didn’t work out. Besides that, there’s really nothing between us. Look, she didn’t even recognize me just now."

Shen Congwen didn’t know what got into him, but seeing everyone misunderstood him, he felt particularly eager to clarify, afraid they might get the wrong idea.

Actually, he was reading too much into it—he thought there might be something between Mr. Chu and Shen Yaoyao, and he didn’t want Chu Ge to misunderstand.
