39: Chapter 39 I just want to stay at Shengzi Peak

Inside the cloud boat cabin.

"Damn it, how dare they insult me like this!"

Ye Chen, covered in injuries, sat cross-legged on the bed board, his fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot. Facing the rumors outside, the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent.

As the Son of Heaven, he should have had endless opportunities, and even when encountering danger, someone would step forward to save him.

However, this time in the Secret Realm, he was chased by Daodian for a full four months, yet no one came out to help him fight. It was truly strange.

He even suspected that someone knew he was being chased in advance and then kidnapped the people who were about to appear and save him.

Moreover, ever since leaving the Beastman Clan, he had always been inexplicably chased by people.

Especially the people from the Su Family, the way they looked at him was like they were staring at a mortal enemy.

"Hateful, I am the Son of Heaven, protected by the Heavenly Dao. Do you think you can scheme against me like this?"

"Just wait, in the Holy Land competition two months from now, I will surely shine brightly!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man into poverty!"

"When I break through from Core to Nascent Soul, I will definitely win the position of Holy Son!"

"And that Daodian, I will definitely let ten demon beasts... no, twenty, viciously..."

Ye Chen roared with a distorted face, like a mad wild dog, his heart filled with unwillingness and distortion.

In Ye Chen's Sea of Consciousness, Xuanxiu Sword Immortal saw this scene and finally felt a little unbearable. He said, "Ye Chen, don't you understand? You are a Children of Destiny, and so is Daodian! Without absolute crushing strength, you can't kill him!"

"Now the Su Family has also issued a kill order against you. From now on, I'm afraid you will be chased as soon as you leave the Holy Land!"

"The only way now is to quickly gain Chen Jingyun's trust and get his Focus on training (focused cultivation). Only when your strength is great can you eliminate all hostile people!"

It would have been better if Xuan Xiu hadn't spoken. As soon as he did, it immediately aroused Ye Chen's disgust, and he became furious: "Shut up! The humiliation I suffer today isn't because of your poor guidance!"

"You think about it yourself, after entering the Secret Realm, how many opportunities did you help me find?"

"It's fine if you didn't find any, but when fighting against Daodian, I wanted to borrow your strength, yet you kept making excuses. You clearly didn't want to help me!"

"Are you waiting for me to die so you can find a new host?"

"You..." Ye Chen's words immediately left Xuan Xiu dumbfounded.

He never expected that just a few setbacks could twist a young man with a firm mind into this state.

Forget it, the more he said, the greater the misunderstanding. It was safer to keep quiet.

In a certain corner, Lin Ruiyang quietly watched all this. Even he didn't expect that Ye Chen, who dominated the heavens in the original work, would have such a poor mental state.

It seemed that as long as he killed the remnant soul inside him, this so-called Children of Destiny would basically be crippled.

However, that Chen Jingyun was a formidable character. In the later stages, not only did he capture the heart of Liu Ruyan, the leader of the Human Race Dao Alliance, with Ye Chen's help, but he also became Ye Chen's most powerful protector after Ye Chen betrayed the Holy Land.

"Yan Dragon, how confident are you of killing that remnant soul right now?"

"Fifty percent!"

"So little?"

"He is inside Ye Chen, constantly being nourished, while I..."

"Alright! It seems he can only live a little longer!"

Lin Ruiyang pondered for a moment, still deciding to help Yan Dragon recover some strength first. As long as that wisp of remnant soul was killed, Ye Chen's good days would be over.

No, even if the remnant soul didn't die, Ye Chen shouldn't have an easy time.

Saying that, Lin Ruiyang quietly left. It had been many days, and he didn't know how Ye Qingcheng was doing.

As soon as she came out of the Secret Realm, Immortal Lingyun expressed her desire to take Ye Qingcheng as her Disciple, which made Lin Ruiyang wary.

....

Inside the main cabin of the cloud boat.

"Qingcheng, what did you say? You don't want to take me as your master?"

On a golden grand chair, Immortal Lingyun looked at Ye Qingcheng below with an anxious expression.

Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, her jade hand rested on the table, her prominent chest rose and fell violently, and her face was full of disbelief.

She was a Peak Master. In terms of Cultivation Techniques and resources, she was even better than the Holy Son.

Moreover, becoming her Personal Disciple, her status would be countless times higher than that of a mere maid.

Below, Ye Qingcheng looked at Immortal Lingyun with apology, and respectfully said, "I still want to stay on Holy Son Peak and serve Gongzi!"

She had originally wanted to join Jade Maiden Peak and strive for the position of Saintess in the future, but when she thought that Lin Ruiyang had only been to the Secret Realm once and had already attracted who knows how many women.

If she wasn't by his side, wouldn't that philandering guy let himself go completely?

She had millions of years of memory and wasn't against strong individuals having multiple Dao Companions, but they shouldn't be too unrestrained.

"What did you say?"

Immortal Lingyun was unwilling and frowned, questioning, "On Jade Maiden Peak, I'll give you the status of a Personal Disciple. Is that still not as good as being a maid on Holy Son Peak?"

Just then, Lin Ruiyang happened to appear outside the door. Seeing this scene, he immediately felt displeased.

This Immortal Lingyun looked gentle and refined, but how could she also like to play such tricks of coercion and temptation?

If someone didn't want to take you as their master, it meant you didn't have the destiny of master and Disciple. Why were you questioning her?

"Thank you for Immortal Lingyun's kindness, but I am still more used to the life on Holy Son Peak!"

As soon as these words came out, the Disciples outside the door were all in an uproar.

"No way! She's giving up the good status of a Personal Disciple to be a maid!"

"Yeah, currently there's only one Personal Disciple on Jade Maiden Peak, that's a huge honor, and she actually refused!"

"Ye Qingcheng is too impulsive. Being a maid, she only gets a few Spirit Stones every month. There will be a day when she regrets it!"

...."

Seeing this, Immortal Lingyun could only sigh and shake her head helplessly.

She wasn't angry, just felt a little regretful. After all, the Physique Ye Qingcheng awakened made even her feel a sense of suppression. Her future was bound to be limitless.

But when it came to taking Disciples, if it was forced, it would inevitably lead to alienation between master and Disciple, which would be a loss.

"Lin Ruiyang, did you threaten Qingcheng?"

As soon as Immortal Lingyun looked up, she saw Lin Ruiyang standing at the door and immediately questioned him.

"Damn it! Trouble comes from nowhere when you're just standing by. What does this have to do with me!"

Hearing Immortal Lingyun's words, Lin Ruiyang's face instantly darkened, and he muttered in his heart repeatedly.

"Hehe... Immortal Lingyun, what are you saying? That was Qingcheng's own choice!"

Lin Ruiyang chuckled awkwardly and directly sat down beside Immortal Lingyun, as if he had returned home.

"This little guy has probably taken down Ye Qingcheng. It seems I need to be careful, otherwise someday..."

"However, speaking of which, the more I look at this guy, the more he seems..."

"Bah, bah, bah, what am I thinking? I am known as the Pure Jade Maiden of Taichu Holy Land, how can I have such thoughts..."

Immortal Lingyun's beautiful eyes fell on Lin Ruiyang, strange thoughts came one after another in her heart, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red.

On the other side, Lin Ruiyang didn't know about these strange thoughts in Immortal Lingyun's mind. He just picked up the teacup and drank from it on his own.

【Ding! Ye Qingcheng has a desire, Emotional Value +1000!】

【Ding! Ling Yun has a desire, Emotional Value +500!】

【Ding! Ling Yun feels shy, Emotional Value +500!】

...

"Hmm?"

Hearing the System's mechanical voice in his mind, he was suddenly startled.

This woman Ling Yun, who looks cold as ice, is actually so passionate inside. Could she be a lovesick fool!
