Super God Grandmaster

Chapter 181 - 181 176 Living Together

?Chapter 181: Chapter 176: Living Together Chapter 181: Chapter 176: Living Together Ming Qi agreed with Wei Sisan’s analysis and actions, saying, “Hmm, let me take on this task. I’ll be responsible for it.”

“Your purpose of staying in Wasteland City isn’t to defeat Gua Zhengnie, but to cooperate with me when necessary. If Gua Zhengnie becomes impatient and wants to control Wasteland City, don’t panic or forcibly confront them. Wait for my orders and ensure your own safety,” Wei Sisan said.

“Understood, I’ll ensure the safety of my disciples.”

“As much as possible, stay in Sky Lake Manor. I think after all this time of preparation, the Manor might not be impenetrable but it’s surely not something that can be easily breached. If it really is breached, hide in Wasteland City and wait for our signal.” Over these many years in Wasteland City, Wei Sisan had indeed made a lot of preparations.

Ming Qi nodded.

“I don’t know if Gua Zhengnie will be driven to despair in the end. However, we need to plan for the worst. In case the worst scenario happens, that is how we should proceed.”

Ming Qi replied, “You can confidently leave this matter to me. I’ll be responsible.”

“Be careful and keep in contact with us at all times, remember to stay safe.”

“Don’t worry.”

Wei Sisan knew he couldn’t leave Wasteland City unattended. The distance from Tianle City and Dongle City to Wasteland City was short. As long as their preparations were timely, they could reach in one or two days.

“I will leave three hundred disciples, all of whom will follow your orders.” Wei Sisan soon made arrangements.

Ye Chen returned to Sky Lake Manor.

Everyone was preparing to leave.

Ling’er came out at this point.

Wei Sisan called out from the side, “Ye Chen, you’ll ride in the horse car with Ling’er.”

Ye Chen said, “I can ride a horse.”

“Ling’er doesn’t know how to drive a horse car.”

“I do!” Ling’er shouted.

“Your skills aren’t that good yet. As I said, Ye Chen will drive the horse car for you.”

Ye Chen glanced at Ling’er.

Ling’er too glanced at him and said coldly, “Why didn’t you leave with Feng Niang? Why did you come back? Seems like you’re quite happy.”

Ye Chen overheard her and replied, “We don’t need to get that attached.”

“Attached! I guess you got dumped! Stop pretending. She never even liked you.” Ling’er said with a light smile.

“You’re overthinking it. The reason I let her settle down in the Central Plains was so that she could find a place to belong until I make a name for myself there too.”

“If you can’t chase her, then you can’t chase her. Stop pretending.”

“You seem very interested in my affairs. Are you happy because now that Feng Niang is gone, you think your chance has come? Do you think that with Feng Niang gone, you can be the legitimate wife? No way!” Ye Chen said.

“Tsk!”

“If it’s not because of that, why are you so excited? I bet you’ve liked me for a while and you’re just pretending not to. I understand.”

“You’re really full of yourself.”

“Right, I am quite narcissistic. But why do you still want to marry me? Marry someone as terrible as me, why didn’t you just refuse, telling your father that you’d rather die than marry me?”

“I’m doing it for the New City Sect.”

“To even sell yourself for it, it seems you’re quite the sacrificer.”

“Can we get on the horse car now?” Wan Lan came up.

She abruptly ended their conversation.

Ye Chen climbed onto the horse car.

Then Wan Lan spoke again, “Since neither of you strongly object, I think you should have a good talk.”

“We have nothing to talk about.” Ling’er blurted.

“You’re about to become husband and wife, and you won’t even talk.” Wan Lan jumped onto the horse car first.

“You mischievous girl.”

The people in front had already left.

Soon, Gua Zhengnie and his people learned of Wei Sisan’s departure from Wasteland City.

Gui Lang was the first to speak, “It seems this Wei Sisan is really scared of us. This encounter has taught him a lesson.” Their departure excited him as they, of course, hoped Wasteland City would become theirs.

Someone chuckled, “If he doesn’t leave quickly, I fear he might lose his life.”

“He should have done this earlier.”

Gua Zhengnie inquired, “How many people have left?”

“Around seven to eight hundred.”

Elder Xi Feng said, “So, around two to three hundred people remain in Wasteland City.”

Gui Lang responded, “Dealing with two to three hundred people should not be difficult.”

Someone said, “I heard Wei Sisan was seriously injured.”

Wei Sisan deliberately spread the news; otherwise, how could Gua Zhengnie be so pleased, and how could they plan their next move?

Gua Zhengnie inquired, “Is his injury truly serious?”

Gui Lang replied, “Recently, he had a resurgence of an old ailment and was hit by Jue Ming’s palm strike, so the severe injury is possible. He might be settling his affairs, which is why he left Wasteland City.”

Someone said, “If this is the case, an opportunity still exists for us.”

Elder Xi Feng said, “If Wei Sisan left Wasteland City, he should have gone to Tianle City.”

“As long as he leaves Wasteland City, I will be relieved.” Gua Zhengnie, couldn’t stand Wei Sisan, always being watched by him, which made him very uncomfortable.

Gui Lang stated, “I don’t think he can stir up much trouble anymore. One more time, and he wouldn’t even have his life.”

“We still can’t be careless. After all, we don’t know what Wei Sisan has planned.” Elder Xi Feng said.

Gui Lang retorted, “Xi Feng is simply too cautious. Wei Sisan’s efforts will only provoke others. One more time, and he won’t escape easily.”

“Being cautious is always a good thing.”

Gua Zhengnie asked, “Did you tell Jue Ming and Yang Jing about Wei Sisan’s news?”

“Yes, we have notified them,” a disciple responded.

Wei Sisan first spread the news of his impending death to stabilize those folks and slow their reaction.

Leaving Wasteland City was also a sign of his weakness, further anesthetizing them.

The No. One Thieves in Ghost City, including Yang Jing, quickly received the news that Wei Sisan had not died in the fire.

You Dao commented, “Wei Sisan sure is lucky. The fire didn’t kill him.”

Ci Ye muttered worriedly, “Do you think Wei Sisan could retaliate since he escaped death?”

You Dao sneered, “That’s highly unlikely. They say Wei Sisan has been severely injured, and he even left Wasteland City, presumably to escape to Tianle City. He must be terrified of Gua Zhengnie. He wouldn’t dare act rashly.”

“I still think it’s best to be cautious,” Ci Ye said.

“You’re too cautious, old man. On this occasion, Zheng Yibai died, as did many disciples. Xiao Bai was expelled from the New City Sect, which hit them hard. I estimate they will need some time to recover. Furthermore, the adversaries they have to contend with aren’t us, the No. One Thieves. For revenge, they should target Gua Zhengnie and Jue Ming, not us,” You Dao said.

You Dao continued, “I heard that on the night, another batch of guys in black intended to kill Wei Sisan. They don’t even know who is their biggest threat.”

Yang Jing nodded and said, “No need to rush.” He would like to gather more information to see if Wei Sisan was really dying.

Ci Ye pondered, “Could it be the Sky Domain Sect?”

You Dao relayed, “I heard one of them is highly skilled in martial arts.”

“It’s quite likely they are from the Sky Domain Sect,” Yang Jing inferred.

You Dao exclaimed, “Who would have thought that even the Sky Domain Sect would want to kill Wei Sisan!”

Ci Ye puzzled, “The Sky Domain Sect doesn’t seem to have any grudges with the New City Sect. Why would they want to kill Wei Sisan? Also, they haven’t had any conflict with Sisan in all these years.”

You Dao chuckled, “Perhaps the New City Sect has become too successful, hindering others’ progress, and they wanted to remove it from their path. It’s just like Gua Zhengnie. It could be possible.”

Ci Ye could only consider it this way. But right now, it is still unclear whether it is really the Sky Domain Sect.

You Dao remarked, “I didn’t expect Wei Sisan to escape death this one time.”

“I heard it was thanks to a young man and the secret tunnel in Feng Niang Inn. The people in black had surrounded them in the inn, ready to break in and kill; because of a highly skilled young man who stood in their way, the people in black decided to start the fire. Eventually, they escaped through the secret tunnel,” Ci Ye informed.

You Dao remembered another piece of news, “I heard that on the day Xiao Bai was dismissed, Wei Sisan arranged a newcomer named Ye Chen to take his place.”

“Yes, that should be the young man,” Ci Ye confirmed.

“But we’ve never heard of him before. Where did this guy come from?”

Ci Ye added, “I heard Wei Sisan promised his daughter to him.”

“If so, Wei Sisan must hold this young man in high esteem. The young man must amount to something.”

“Regardless of his background, maybe it’s because Wei Sisan is really dying,” Yang Jing thought. If not for Wei Sisan’s impending death, why would he hastily choose a young man to succeed him?

“Indeed. I’m sure Wei Sisan is about to die. He has no options left; he can only haphazardly pick someone. This explains why he is in such a rush to find a successor,” You Dao concurred.

“We shall see what the New City Sect does next,” Yang Jing suggested.

Ci Ye nodded.

“In my opinion, if they really want to retaliate, they would target Jue Ming, not us. We were merely participating in their game with Can Mo. The ones who really wanted to kill Wei Sisan weren’t us. They should hate those men in black more,” You Dao stated.

By the time Wei Sisan reached Tianle City, it was dusk. His dispatched men had rendezvoused with Can Mo back in Tianle City.

Ye Chen finally found the courtyard where he would stay that night. Surprisingly, he was lodged in Ling’er’s courtyard and he wanted to question as to why.

But Wei Sisan responded, “There are too many people, and places are running short.” He made an excuse about another matter and dismissed Ye Chen.

In the end, Ye Chen was arranged to stay in Ling’er’s courtyard, where the neighbouring courtyard was already occupied.

Ye Chen followed Ling’er into the courtyard and said, “This has nothing to do with me. It’s all your father’s arrangement. You heard it too, it’s not my plan.”

Ling’er had Wan Lan prepare the meal.

Peeping around, Ye Chen pondered which room to choose.

Ling’er pointed out, “The first two rooms are already occupied.”
