Super God Grandmaster

Chapter 171 - 171 166 Enemies

?Chapter 171: Chapter 166: Enemies Chapter 171: Chapter 166: Enemies At dusk, he arrived at Tianle City, which had always been under the charge of Xiao Bai. He knew Xiao Bai had now gone to Wasteland City.

He had to figure out what Xiao Bai had been up to during the days of his ordeal, and whether it was true, as his daughter had said, that Xiao Bai was not in Tianle City.

Wei Sisan’s arrival indeed caught everyone off guard. They had never dreamt that Wei Sisan would return alive. Within a short period, Wei Sisan had taken control of Tianle City. After taking over, he swiftly replaced all of Xiao Bai’s trusted followers with his own men, effectively taking control of the city.

After his investigation, he confirmed that during the days of his ordeal, Xiao Bai was indeed in Tianle City and not in Dongle City as he had claimed in Wasteland City. After the mishap, Wei Sisan had sent several desperate pleas to Tianle City, but received no responses. It appeared that Xiao Bai desired his death.

Ling’er said, “Seems like Xiao Bai lied.”

“But, is he really connected with those men in black?” Wan Lan asked.

“Even though we can’t confirm whether he knew in advance that someone would set their sights on Dad and try to kill him, the fact that he didn’t show up when Dad first wanted to summon him from Wasteland City already makes him suspicious. Later, when Dad called for him again and asked for his help, he still didn’t send anyone. He even falsely claimed that he was in Dongle City. This confirms that he wanted those people to kill Dad,” Ling’er said.

Wan Lan fell silent for a moment before saying, “His goal is obvious, the position of the Sect Leader.”

“Dad, this man can’t be spared. The New City Sect is now in crisis. Zheng Yibai is dead, and many of our disciples have been lost. Dad almost died too.”

Wei Sisan had been mulling over this matter. This crisis made him realize how dangerous the Wastelands truly were, something he had never considered before. There were so many people who wanted to harm him. If he didn’t retaliate now, he might not be so lucky in surviving a similar crisis in the future.

In just over two hours, he had replaced all of Xiao Bai’s men with his own. Basically, Tianle City was now under his control.

Ling’er continued, “Xiao Bai still doesn’t know Dad is alive. He’s still trying to vie for the position of Sect Leader.”

“As long as I’m here, he won’t become the Sect Leader.”

Wei Sisan continued, “Well then, let’s have dinner. After dinner, we rest for a night and head back to Wasteland City tomorrow.” He was furious, he couldn’t believe Xiao Bai could do this.

Ye Chen and Feng Niang were situated in the same courtyard, and their neighboring courtyard belonged to Ling’er and Wan Lan.

Feng Niang sat next to Ye Chen, as did Ling’er.

A lot of food was prepared for them, and they were seated at the same table as Wei Sisan.

Ye Chen turned to Feng Niang and asked, “What would you like? I’ll help you get it,” fearing she couldn’t reach it.

“No need, help that young girl instead.”

Ye Chen glanced at the cheeky girl, who was pouting like a flounder, ready to burst into flames at any touch. He quickly said, “Someone else will help her.”

Ling’er snorted in disapproval.

“I’ll help you instead.”

Ling’er really couldn’t stand it anymore. She quickly switched places with Wan Lan next to her, separating herself from Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn’t give a damn about her, and continued to tease Feng Niang, seemingly on purpose.

Later, when Ling’er asked others, they told her that the two were a married couple.

Ling’er couldn’t believe that and said, “That’s impossible. This guy has always lived in Wasteland City. They couldn’t have such a relationship.”

One disciple replied, “That’s what Ye Chen himself said.”

“Ye Chen said that himself? He told you that?”

“No, your dad asked him what his relationship with Feng Niang was, and he told that to your dad.”

“My dad asked that?”

“We heard it.”

Wan Lan looked at the two who were still eating and commented, “They do somewhat resemble a couple. Didn’t your dad arrange for them to stay in the same courtyard?”

Ling’er turned around to take a look. Still unconvinced, she shook her head and said, “Impossible. This guy is quite the actor. The age gap between those two is significant. If they really were a couple, they should be even more intimate!”

“True, she could be his mother. But your dad seems to like her.”

“Hey, you little girl, what are you trying to say?”

“Nothing, it’s just a casual comment.”

“Never mind him. We’ll do our own thing.”

That night, Wei Sisan pondered on these issues. He deeply realized that without this incident, he would never have known how dangerous the Wastelands were, and how many people wanted his life.

He had thought everything was going quite well. Years of struggle had resulted in numerous crises that could plunge the place into chaos at any moment. Zheng Yibai’s death made him firm in the decision that he must manage the Wastelands properly.

All of this was merely an illusion and not as peaceful as it seemed.

Could he really entrust the position of Sect Leader to Jiang Zhuge? Was Jiang capable of stabilizing the situation? He had to think carefully. The dangerous Wastelands were filled with murderous intents everywhere. If he wasn’t cautious, everything he had established could evaporate in an instant.

Who were the group of people that finally emerged that night? They were excellent martial artists and clearly different from those he first encountered in the valley. How come he didn’t know about such powerful fighters in Wastelands?

Were those people connected with the Sky Domain Sect? In Wastelands, only the Sky Domain Sect had such powerful martial artists. If they were indeed connected to the Sky Domain Sect and if it was true that their members sought to kill him, the Sky Domain Sect would be in great danger. If that was the case, the New City Sect would be facing too many enemies.

Jiang Zhuge wouldn’t be able to handle this. He had to find a person with better martial arts skills and wisdom. Otherwise, after his death, the New City Sect would definitely face a major problem. The Wastelands might become chaotic. He had to think this through thoroughly.

Night gradually fell.

When they returned to the courtyard, Ye Chen looked around and commented, “This courtyard is not bad.”

Feng Niang peeled an orange and asked, “How did you end up in the Wastelands from the Central Plains?”

“I was being chased, so I came to the Wastelands.”

“Chased by a woman?”

“There are no women chasing me. But I think, I should go back to the Central Plains, to broaden my knowledge.”

“You should.”

“Then I’ll take you back.”

“As if I need you!”

“I’ll accompany you.”

“I wouldn’t choose you to accompany me.”

“Who would you choose then? Still thinking about Wei Sisan?”

“Are you asking to be beaten up?”

“Wei Sisan has had enough trouble this time. You’re not going to sneak off, are you? You don’t even know where to go. There’s no more Feng Niang Inn, how about going back to Wasteland City with me? As long as I have a bite to eat, you’ll have one too. I won’t let you go hungry.”

“I’ve been a boss lady for so many years, and you’re still worried that I’ll starve to death!”

“So, do you have any plans then?”

“None.” Feng Niang asked, “What about you?”

“I originally came to the Wastelands to make a name for myself before going back to the Central Plains.”

“So you came to the Wastelands to make a splash.”

Ye Chen chuckled.

“Joining the New City Sect gives you the perfect chance to make a name for yourself.” Suddenly, Feng Niang stood up and said, “Let’s go to bed early.”

“Going to bed this early?”

“I’m not as young as you anymore.”

“Let’s go together then.” Ye Chen also stood up.

“Find that girl across the room to play with. She can keep you busy.”

“That girl, she’s not well-proportioned. I’ve seen her, she’ll definitely have a pear-shaped figure in the future. She’s a madcap, not my type. I wouldn’t want her even if she’s gifted to me.”

“What’s a pear-shaped figure?” Feng Niang asked, not understanding.

“It means three sections, small on top, widened in the middle, and bulged at the bottom.” Ye Chen gestured.

With a thud, an apple flew over. Luckily he dodged quickly, or he would have been hit. He looked around and shouted, “Who’s that?”

But no one answered; Feng Niang had already closed her room door, leaving him alone all of a sudden.

Two people were eavesdropping from the tree.

Ling’er said, “How could they possibly be a couple!”

“It seems like that young man is smitten with her.” Wan Lan continued, “How can that old woman have such a strong charm, not even letting off such a young man.”

“Already incapable of thinking, people who can’t think, are all like this.”

“How can this guy like older women?”

“They said he only focuses on looks, he’s already a dullard.” Ling’er shouted, “Let’s go down quickly.”

Wan Lan climbed down from the tree.

Ling’er muttered, “He dared to call me a madcap, and accused me of having a pear-shaped figure.” He even dared to say that her figure was not good.

Wan Lan said, “You seem to care about him quite a bit.”

“I’m just worried he might do something he’ll regret later.”

“Really!”

“Of course, I don’t want him to be like my dad.”

“He doesn’t care about this. Why are you worried, could you…”

“Hey, stop fantasizing. It’s getting late, and we didn’t get much rest last night. Aren’t you tired? Go to sleep now.”

“Alright, I get it.”

“Tomorrow we have to go back and expose Xiao Bai’s true colors.”

Wan Lan nodded and said, “Xiao Bai must not know that your dad is still alive.”

“His true colors will soon be exposed.” Ling’er said.
