Chapter 375: Killing the Venerable

Chapter 375: Killing the Venerable

At this moment, Song Ye was still in his room. Naturally, he had sensed that Marquis Wuan was in the courtyard outside his door.

In fact, last night at Fengyu Building, Song Ye had noticed that Marquis Wuan was also in the building. He thought that Marquis Wuan would immediately come to trouble him at that time, but Marquis Wuan waited until today.

However, he had come eventually, and Song Ye had no intention of letting him leave alive. After all, as long as troubles were not completely resolved, they remained troublesome.

Just then, the voice of the game system suddenly sounded in Song Ye's mind.

"Ding, Title Quest [Kill the Venerable] triggered."

"Quest Requirements: Within three hours, kill an NPC with the cultivation level of a Venerable."

"Quest Reward: Obtain the permanent title [Kill the Venerable]."

It seemed that the game system had sensed the strong killing intent in Song Ye's heart, thus triggering this quest.

Generally, player-triggered title quests and hidden quests were theoretically tasks that players had a certain probability of completing.

At this time, other players besides Song Ye didn't have the ability to kill an NPC with the cultivation level of a Venerable within three hours. So, no matter where they were or who they encountered, they wouldn't trigger this "Kill the Venerable" title quest.

The reason Song Ye could trigger this quest was that the game system judged that he already had the strength to kill a Venerable-level NPC.

Marquis Wuan's cultivation had long reached the level of an Immortal Venerable. Song Ye didn't need to step out of the room; he could easily use the Wang Yu Xuan control through the door to remove Marquis Wuan's head and complete the quest.

But Song Ye was curious about how Marquis Wuan thought when he saw him. Did he suspect that this outsider was the same person as the "Song Gong" from back then? So, before killing Marquis Wuan, he wanted to have a good chat with him.

Subsequently, Song Ye walked out of the room.

Marquis Wuan was standing in the upper courtyard at this time. Since Song Qian had ordered that no servants were allowed to come to the upper courtyard, there was not a single shadow of a servant in this vast upper courtyard.

However, Song Qian had arranged several night guards in the residence to secretly protect Song Ye when she was not around.

The moment these night guards sensed that someone had entered the upper courtyard, they wanted to rush over to protect Song Ye, but suddenly, they found that their bodies couldn't move, and their internal energy couldn't circulate.

In fact, Song Ye had secretly used Wang Yu Xuan control on them because he didn't want these night guards to disturb his conversation with Marquis Wuan.

At this moment, Song Ye noticed that Marquis Wuan was holding an imperial edict. It seemed that he had come prepared.

Marquis Wuan saw Song Ye coming out of the room and smirked, "Are you an outsider, or are you Song Gong?"

"Who do you hope I am?" Song Ye asked in return.

"Of course, I hope you are Song Gong. The things I will do to you next will be more satisfying. But in reality," Marquis Wuan said, glancing at the little flying spirit next to Song Ye, "you seem to be just a humble outsider."

Song Ye asked again, "So, are you a friend or an enemy of Song Gong?"

"Neither," Marquis Wuan shook his head. "He's not worthy of being my friend or my enemy. I just simply find him unpleasant. But you're even more unlucky. You just happen to look so much like that Song Gong, so I find your face particularly displeasing."

"So, are you deliberately picking a fight today?" Song Ye asked.

"You can understand it that way," Marquis Wuan said with a pleased smile. He seemed to enjoy this moment.

"Do you know that your appearance is very similar to the father of Song Qian?" Marquis Wuan asked.

"I know," Song Ye nodded.

"So, what is the relationship between you two now? I'm very curious!" Marquis Wuan showed an expression of watching a good show and continued, "Do you know that it's rumored outside that the head of the Longyang Song family is shameless, keeping an outsider as a male pet?"

"Think about it. In our great Yan, there are many husbands with handsome appearances like me. Why did she choose an outsider? Could it be because you look like her father, and she has a special affection in this regard?"

Song Ye contemplated for a moment and said, "I didn't expect such rumors to spread outside. In fact—"

He looked up at Marquis Wuan, his expression solemn, "Truth be told, my real identity is that I am the same Song Gong from back then."

"Hahaha!" Marquis Wuan suddenly burst into laughter. "You said you are Song Gong? This kind of lie from a lowly creature from the lower realms, how could I believe it? Moreover, even if you are that cowardly and useless Song Gong, who only became wealthy and powerful by relying on his own sister and daughter, if you had seen me, you would have kneeled down to me long ago."

Song Ye didn't expect that even if he revealed his identity, Marquis Wuan wouldn't believe that he was the Song Gong from back then. Moreover, Marquis Wuan took the opportunity to mock him.

Marquis Wuan continued, "Although I find your face extremely unpleasant, since you are not that Song Gong, you can rest assured. I won't take your life, but I will disable your hands and feet, so you can crawl on the ground for the rest of your life."

Song Ye smiled faintly. In his eyes, Marquis Wuan was already a dead man. He didn't care about the arrogant words of the other party.

His attention turned to the imperial edict in Marquis Wuan's hand. "Is the imperial edict from the Yan Kingdom? What does it say?"

"You will know sooner or later," Marquis Wuan said with a sinister smile. "When that woman Song Qian returns from the palace, I will read this imperial edict in front of you two."

Song Ye was stunned for a moment

. Was Qian'er in the palace now?

Immediately, he spread his spiritual awareness throughout the entire Changling City and immediately sensed that Song Qian had indeed entered the palace.

"By the way, I want to ask you a question," Marquis Wuan suddenly asked, "you, an outsider, have been living with that woman Song Qian for so many days. Has she already lost her virginity to you? Forget it, asking you at this moment, you won't dare to tell the truth anyway. When I marry her, I can personally verify whether she is still a virgin on the day we consummate our marriage—"

Before Marquis Wuan finished speaking, he suddenly saw that his right arm holding the imperial edict was directly severed from his shoulder, and blood spurted out.

Fear instantly appeared on Marquis Wuan's face.

He didn't know that his words just now had touched Song Ye's sensitive nerves.
