Ch. 9

Inside the ice-cold prison, Ye Chen and his mysterious teacher were in the middle of a conversation, discussing how to escape the dungeon.

"This matter needs to be discussed at length. Gu Changge's origin is frightening, and hard to imagine. Moreover, there is a hidden expert behind him. Right now, you can't face him head-on…"

"Speaking of which, you shouldn't have been so reckless."

Her name was Yan Ji.

Her figure was very faint, and she had a pair of bewitching but beautiful scarlet eyes.

At this moment, her beautiful face had a very cautious expression.

Although she was only a remnant soul, her former glory was not for nothing.

Even then, she couldn't protect herself, not to mention Ye Chen.

"I know, teacher. I'm sorry."

After Ye Chen calmed down, he regretted his outburst.

He shouldn't have vented his anger on his beautiful teacher.

Fortunately, his teacher didn't get angry, and instead advised him, making him feel very touched.

"I know, teacher. From today onwards, I'll lay low and wait until I'm strong enough."

"Only then will I have the opportunity to kill that Gu Changge."

Ye Chen clenched his teeth and swore.

He had thought a lot about his relationship with Su Qingge, and in the end, he still didn't want to give up.

He felt that Su Qingge hadn't done so willingly and should have had her own difficulties.

Furthermore, Gu Changge had probably forced her.

This scene made Yan Ji frown and sigh inwardly.

In her opinion, Ye Chen's mind was still too immature.

Merely for a woman, he had offended someone he shouldn't have.

Moreover, Gu Changge did not do anything wrong.

It was the Tai Xuan Sacred Land that was trying to curry favor with Gu Changge, thus forcing Su Qingge to spend the night with him, so how could the fault lie on Gu Changge?

Nevertheless, Ye Chen was her personal disciple, and the sole reason she could wake up was because of the spirit Qi he had painstakingly cultivated.

Therefore, Yan Ji didn't openly criticize him.

"There are many experts locked up in this prison. Perhaps this is a way to escape…," Ye Chen thought to himself.

He wouldn't just sit still and wait for his death.

Since Tai Xuan Sacred Land was unjust, he did not care for the possible repercussions of his actions on the sect.

His heart was full of hatred.

Although the pair's conversation was very secretive, they didn't know there was a pair of indifferent eyes watching all of this, ready to report Ye Chen's plot.

Elder Ming had deliberately hid his figure.

Thus even though Ye Chen's master was powerful in the past, it would still be very difficult for the remnant soul of his master to discover Elder Ming.

'The opportunity that Young Master spoke of is on this guy?'

'A wisp of the remnant soul of a past expert?'

Elder Ming frowned.

No matter how he looked at him, he couldn't see anything strange about Ye Chen.

However, there was something strange about the ring on his finger.

He could vaguely sense Divine Soul fluctuations.

Furthermore, the conversation that he had just overheard indicated that there was indeed another expert behind Ye Chen.

However, Gu Changge had only instructed him to observe Ye Chen's every move and not to obstruct him.

Therefore, Elder Ming didn't spend too much time thinking about this.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The matter of Ye Chen being imprisoned seemed to have been forgotten by everyone in Tai Xuan Sacred Land.

Since Gu Changge did not mention it, who would dare to ask?

For a mere inner disciple to offend such an existence, it wouldn't be too much for him to be locked up for the rest of his life.

Gu Changge was in a good mood.

In these three days, Elder Ming had been reporting everything that had happened in the prison.

Gu Changge had more or less figured out the matter between Ye Chen and his master.

It was still the same routine just with a different person.

Ye Chen was able to come all this way, apart from his own heaven-defying luck, only because of his mysterious master.

Without his accompanying master, he was nothing.

Although Gu Changge had indeed thought of directly snatching Ye Chen's ring, it was very likely that his mysterious master would go berserk and sacrifice himself to protect Ye Chen, risking Gu Changge's chance to have this mysterious master to himself.

Moreover, Ye Chen's illusory luck was still protecting him, so this method would be very dangerous.

There was almost no possibility of success.

If things went awry, he and Elder Ming might both die here.

'Actually, it's not bad to sow dissension, wouldn't this be too evil even for a villain like me?'

'No, no, no, I am doing this for the sake of Fate Points, for the sake of cultivation.'

Righteous thoughts.

Thinking of the Fate Points, Gu Changge grew a little moved and prepared to take action.

At this moment, a guard outside the palace came to report to him.

"Young Master, Saintess Su Qingge wants to see you."

Hearing this, Gu Changge came back to his senses.

The smile on his face disappeared, and he regained his indifferent expression.

He said indifferently, "Let her in."

No matter what, a villain still had to act cool.

After ignoring Su Qingge for three days, it was time to meet her.

In his previous life, Gu Changge was a weeb who had read thousands upon thousands of webnovels, so he had naturally expected this.

A smart hostess like Su Qingge, especially once her weakness was revealed, could only be subject to schemes.

He had begun to moderate her temper and arrogance already.

He did not care enough for this woman to tolerate her attitude.

By ignoring her the past few days, immense pressure had been placed on Su Qingge's shoulders.

At the brink of despair, he would give her a ray of light.

Wasn't there a saying called loosening the reins only to grasp them better?

It should be known that in these three days, Tai Xuan Saint Master's face was full of worry, sighing repeatedly.

As for the reason?

His daughter seemed to have made Young Master Gu unhappy.

Tai Xuan Saint Master did not dare to ask Gu Changge about this.

Su Qingge was very filial. She naturally did not want to see her father like this.

And this was also one of her weaknesses that Gu Changge had grasped.

"Qingge greets Young Master Gu."

Su Qingge's expression was somewhat apprehensive as she slowly walked into the palace.

She was no longer as calm as before.
