Chapter 2193: Reunion

The patriarch of the Gus clan, Gu Yuan, cursed inside when he heard this voice. He felt his head begin to ache.

Although he had no idea who the woman was, he understood his son’s behaviour. Even without thinking, he knew that the woman would be related to his son. If it were some other time, he would not be bothered to care about a trivial matter like this, but at a time like this, it would definitely give young master Chang Yang a bad impression.

Naturally, Gu Yuan did not want to see this happen. After all, he wanted to use this opportunity to befriend this young master Chang Yang.

“Young master, it’s probably some argument due to some conflict between servants. With your esteemed status, the place where servants reside do not suit you. Let’s go elsewhere and have a look,” Gu Yuan said from the side.

However, just when Gu Yuan finished talking, a lecherous voice rang out.

“Hahaha! Self-destruct? With your mere cultivation at Returnance, you want to self-destruct before me? Aren’t you underestimating me a little too much? Tsktsktsk, this woman really is impressive. Not only does she possess otherworldly beauty, but more importantly, she possesses a bearing that only experts have.

“I heard you came up from a lower world, so that means you were once the sovereign of the lower world, an existence that controlled the fate of countless people. Hehehe, I love women like this the most. Dominating these past sovereigns of lower worlds must lead to great pleasure…”

Gu Yuan’s face became ugly when he heard this voice.

Jian Chen closed the fan in his hand with a clap and made his way towards the hall, moving towards the direction of the voice.

When he approached the door, Hei Ya rushed to the door and opened it directly.

Jian Chen strode in. As soon as he entered the building, he saw a woman of otherworldly beauty standing there pale with anger as she glared ahead.

There was no fear on her face at all. Only bone-deep hatred and intense killing intent existed.

Jian Chen’s gaze locked onto the woman. She wore the same, azure clothes and had the same familiar face. She was the Qing Yixuan that he had met in the sea realm.

Seeing how Qing Yixuan was still unharmed, Jian Chen finally became relieved.

“Who are you? Who let you in?”

At this moment, a man’s shout rang out. A rather handsome young man stood near Qing Yixuan. His nefarious smile vanished as Jian Chen suddenly barged him. His faze sank as he glared at Jian Chen.

“Do not be rude!” Gu Yuan walked in with an ugly expression as he glared at the young man.

“Father, why have you come?” The young man immediately became surprised by Gu Yuan’s arrival. He knew that his father never came to this place.

“This is young master Chang Yang. Why don’t you greet him?” Gu Yuan growled at the young man before telling Jian Chen politely, “Young master Chang Yang, this is my embarra.s.sment of a son, Gu Feng.”

Gu Feng was not dim. He could tell from how his father behaved that this young master Chang Yang probably had great origins. Immediately, he suppressed his unhappiness and glanced at Jian Chen in surprise and doubt as he immediately clasped his hands in greeting.

“Strange. Where I stay is a rather remote part of the clan. Why has this young master Chang Yang that even father treats so politely come to a place like this?” Gu Feng felt very confused.

“Hmm? What a special woman!” Jian Chen ignored Gu Feng. He looked at Qing Yixuan, and his eyes immediately it up. He waved his fan as he walked around Qing Yixuan, studying her with great interest. He praised, “A stubborn personality where she’d rather die than to give in. Most importantly, I can actually see a unique bearing from her that only peak experts possess. Yep, this woman has the right to become my personal servant and serve me.”

Gu Feng’s face immediately changed. Just when he was about to say something, Gu Yuan’s chuckle rang out, “It’s her blessing to be able to catch young master Chang Yang’s eye. Since young master Chang Yang has taken a liking to her, I’ll make the decision to gift this beautiful woman to the young master.”

“Father…” Gu Feng began to talk. His face was ugly and filled with reluctance. However, after Gu Yuan glared at him, he forced his mouth shut.

At this moment, Qing Yixuan suddenly looked at Jian Chen. She said coldly, “I can follow you if you only want me as your servant. However, you need to guarantee that you will not defile me in any way.” Due to Jian Chen’s disguise and concealed presence, Qing Yixuan failed to recognise him.

Jian Chen smiled impudently as he used his fan to prop up Qing Yixuan’s chin slightly. He smiled gently, “This is the Saints’ World, not the lower world where you once reigned supreme. You’re a puny Origin realm cultivator, so what right do you have to discuss conditions with me?”

Qing Yixuan’s face darkened when she heard that, but she still said stubbornly, “If you don’t agree, I’d rather die than follow you.”

“You’d rather die?” As if Jian Chen had heard the funniest joke in the world, he chuckled, “Before me, even dying is difficult for a puny Origin realm cultivator like you. You have no choice at all.”

At this moment, Hei Ya took a step over and directly extended a finger towards Qing Yixuan’s back, controlling her easily. Afterwards, he returned behind Jian Chen with Qing Yixuan and strode out.

The patriarch of the Gus clan dared not object. Instead, he stood to one side with his head down smiling. He was afraid of showing signs of coldness.

Now that the goal of the trip was fulfilled, Jian Chen was unwilling to remain for much longer. Before long, he bid farewell to Gu Yuan and left the Gus clan with Qing Yixuan.

“Father, don’t you think this young master Chang Yang seems rather strange? From what you said, I feel like this young master Chang Yang came especially for that woman,” the young master of the Gus clan, Gu Feng, said in doubt after Jian Chen departed.

“That’s right. Patriarch, I also feel the same…” A G.o.dking of the Gus clan added.

The patriarch looked in the direction where Jian Chen had travelled off to. After a moment of thought, he said, “It is a little strange, but there are two things we can be certain about at the very least. First, this young master Chang Yang is not simple. I secretly used a secret technique, but I was unable to see his exact strength. Just that means he’s no ordinary person.”

“Secondly, the bodyguard with him is truly a peak G.o.dking. His cultivation is even slightly greater than mine and the grand elder’s. Yet an expert like that still had to show respect towards the young master, and this respect came from the bottom of his heart. He truly treated himself as a subordinate. He wasn’t faking it at all. What does that mean?”

“Perhaps the young master became rather eager to enjoy himself after seeing the woman with the extraordinary bearing, which was why he left in a hurry,” an early G.o.dking sn.i.g.g.e.red.

…

At the same time, a deep voice rang out underground outside a formation-clad secret room within the Bloodbattle clan. This was a clan that stood equal to the Gus clan as one of the three great organisations of the Thousand Leaf Empire.

“Ancestor, I’ve just received news that a potential young master of a peak clan has suddenly appeared in the imperial capital, and he paid a visit to the Gus clan.”

“What’s this got to do with our Bloodbattle clan?” The ancestor’s cold voice rang out from the secret room.

“Ancestor, our Bloodbattle clan matches the Gus clan in strength. It’s basically impossible for us to destroy the Gus clan alone. However, I think an opportunity has presented itself now.”

“You’re saying to rope in that young master with a tremendous background?” The ancestor said.

“Roping him in might not be effective. There’s a more direct method right now, which is to kill the young master and then blame the Gus clan. However, there’s a peak G.o.dking beside the young master, so for the sake of safety, the ancestor has to take action personally.”
