Chapter 12: Sowing Discord, Living Up to Being Called Stupid

Sowing discord, fulfilling the stupid words

Inside the dim and damp dungeon.

Ye Chen was disheveled and looked incredibly wretched.

Only he himself knew how he had survived these past three days.

No one cared for him, and no one came to check on him; it was as if he had been abandoned by everyone.

In his heart, he hated Gu Changge to the core, wishing he could hack him into a thousand pieces.

However, Ye Chen was incredibly shocked right now.

Because he saw the person he hated most and wanted to see the least during this period.

" Young Master Gu, as you instructed, Ye Chen has been locked up here all this time."

A Disciple led the way.

Gu Changge walked behind, slowly entering the place.

"Understood, you may leave."

Gu Changge 's expression was indifferent as he nodded, and after the Disciple left.

He then leisurely surveyed Ye Chen 's current state.

It was evident that Ye Chen had not had an easy time during these three days of imprisonment.

The Grand Profound Holy Land, in order to curry favor with him.

Had not even sent a single drop of water to Ye Chen.

For a perfectly fine Child of Destiny to end up in such a wretched state was truly pitiful.

Of course, Gu Changge felt not a shred of pity.

After all, if Ye Chen had the ability, he certainly wouldn't let him off.

The first thing he would do would be to scatter his ashes to the wind.

" Gu Changge, why have you come here?"

Ye Chen shouted, sensing Gu Changge 's ill intentions.

He subconsciously assumed that Gu Changge had come to kill him.

"I came here naturally to see you."

"Oh, that's not right; I came to see your Master."

Gu Changge smiled lightly.

And bluntly pointed out Ye Chen 's secret.

"You... what are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."

Ye Chen 's expression shifted slightly, his heart struck with alarm, and he immediately felt panicked.

How could Gu Changge know that he still had a Master?

This secret was something no one else knew except for him.

In that instant, he felt a chill run through his entire body.

In front of Gu Changge, he was truly like an ant; no secret could exist.

"Stop pretending; who could you possibly fool with that expression?" Gu Changge sneered, then continued,

" Senior, do you still intend to keep hiding? Being so evasive doesn't suit the demeanor of a Senior at all."

While speaking, Gu Changge 's eyes remained fixed on the ring in Ye Chen 's hand.

This sight caused Ye Chen 's heart to sink completely.

Gu Changge not only knew of his Master 's existence but also knew her hiding place.

"Why must Young Master Gu make things difficult for a mere remnant soul like me?"

At this moment, a faint sigh finally echoed from within Ye Chen 's ring.

The voice was as beautiful as music, yet carried a hint of helplessness.

Following this, a flash of crimson light streaked before their eyes.

A faint figure dressed in red emerged within the Void Realm.

" Master?"

Ye Chen 's expression changed; he hadn't expected his Master to appear on her own accord.

This gave him a vague, uneasy feeling in his heart.

"Oh, so this is what you look like, Senior."

Gu Changge 's expression remained unchanged.

He had expected an old man accompanying him, but he hadn't expected a beautiful Master.

Dressed in red with crimson eyes, her face was stunningly beautiful.

He clicked his tongue inwardly.

This Ye Chen really has great Luck with women.

Your Master is truly beautiful, but she will soon be mine.

"I wonder what Young Master Gu 's purpose is in coming here?"

Yan Ji asked softly, her voice very cold; she had only revealed herself out of necessity.

Since Gu Changge had already discovered her existence, he naturally had ways to force her to appear.

Why not just be straightforward and reveal herself voluntarily?

"Nothing much, I was just thinking that since Ye Chen has an expert helping him from the shadows, I was a bit curious and wanted to see what kind of person it was."

Gu Changge answered quite naturally.

At least on the surface, no one could discern his true thoughts.

Yan Ji and Ye Chen were no exceptions.

Ye Chen, regardless, was convinced that Gu Changge had malicious intentions.

His gaze carried intense hatred and Killing Intent.

Yan Ji also couldn't fathom Gu Changge 's true intentions and could only remain secretly vigilant.

"Then has Young Master Gu seen me now? I am merely a woman; I cannot be considered an expert." Yan Ji replied coldly.

"If someone as stupid as Ye Chen can be taught to achieve what he has today, why must you be so modest, Senior?"

"A pearl covered in dust has existed since ancient times. As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses its tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses his lord to serve."

"Wouldn't it be a waste of your talent, Senior, to remain by Ye Chen 's side?"

Gu Changge said casually, his smile revealing a hint of sincerity.

He secretly tested it; the moment he thought about seizing Ye Chen 's ring, a sense of danger arose from the unknown.

He cursed silently, "Damn Luck."

However, his expression betrayed no abnormality.

" Gu Changge, who are you calling stupid..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen 's face turned green with anger.

Right in front of him, he was so unscrupulously poaching his Master.

This Gu Changge is truly shameless and despicable!

However, from another perspective, Ye Chen was panicking.

His Master was currently his greatest reliance.

If she really abandoned him, what would happen?

He dared not even imagine it.

Gu Changge 's words also left Yan Ji stunned for a moment.

Although Ye Chen was indeed stupid at times, he possessed other qualities, such as perseverance, courage, tenacity, and so on.

Moreover, Ye Chen had the grace of awakening her; it was impossible for her to abandon him just because of these few words.

What did this Gu Changge mean by saying such things?

"Sowing discord?"

Yan Ji 's expression shifted slightly, and she quickly realized that this was likely Gu Changge 's true purpose.

However, while she could see this, Ye Chen might not necessarily be able to.

In the end, it really did live up to Gu Changge 's remark about him being stupid.
