Chapter 13: The Actor Goes Online, You Can't Catch the Wolf Without Sacrificing the Medicinal Pill

The drama queen is online, reluctant to give up the elixir and can’t trap people

" Gu Changge, you are despicable and shameless! Not only did you take away my Qingge, but now you actually dare to covet my Master..."

Ye Chen 's face was ugly. It was even somewhat twisted; he was incredibly furious as he cursed.

He subconsciously assumed that Gu Changge was coveting his Master, never once thinking that it might be an attempt to sow discord.

Especially regarding Yan Ji, he held an indescribable emotion. While he treated her as his Master in daily life, in his heart, he actually regarded her as his private possession, not to be touched by anyone else.

At this moment, being provoked by Gu Changge 's words, the anger and hatred he had harbored over the past few days almost erupted.

"Oh? Taking away your Qingge? Gu Changge will not take the blame for that."

Hearing Ye Chen 's angry curses, Gu Changge was not surprised in the slightest; instead, he laughed airily.

"You must know that from beginning to end, it was all her own volition. I never forced Su Qingge. Don't misunderstand anything. Besides, regarding what I just said, was Gu Changge wrong?"

"People climb to higher places, and water flows to lower ones. This is the law of survival for all things in the world."

"As for you, if you truly care for your Master, then don't hold her back. Do you really think a wisp of a remnant soul can exist in this world forever?"

Every word was piercing, striking at the heart.

Ye Chen 's expression was ugly to the extreme, his fists clenched tightly.

He naturally knew that a remnant soul could not easily survive in the world, which was why he wanted to become stronger quickly so that his Master could reshape her Physical Body.

"Xiao Chen, calm down quickly..."

Yan Ji sighed inwardly and circulated her magic power. Suddenly, a cool sensation entered Ye Chen 's mind, forcing him to calm down.

He was, after all, a youth in the age of hot-bloodedness. Gu Changge 's few words had caused his state of mind to fall into chaos, devoid of his usual composure and perseverance.

She didn't know why, but Ye Chen, who was usually very smart, would repeatedly act foolishly in front of Gu Changge. Could a small setback really make it impossible for him to get back up?

" Master..."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, and his agitated mood gradually stabilized. Gu Changge 's words just now were truly vicious; they were like a bloodless blade, stabbing directly into his heart.

"Ding, Ye Chen 's state of mind continues to be damaged. Luck lost by twenty points, Destiny Points increased by one hundred."

At this moment, the System 's prompt sounded in his mind. However, it did not draw much attention from Gu Changge.

" Senior, have you considered it? If you follow me, I can not only help you restore your Physical Body, but I can even help you return to your Peak."

"Surely Senior is clear about my background. You should know better than anyone what kind of power I represent."

"Furthermore, I dare say that in every aspect, Gu Changge is far superior to Ye Chen..."

He continued to speak with a sincere attitude, as if he were earnestly recruiting a talented individual. As for Ye Chen on the other side, he was completely ignored.

Even Yan Ji, who had been frowning the whole time, found it difficult to discern Gu Changge 's true intentions at this moment. Sowing discord? With Gu Changge 's strength, it would be so simple to kill Ye Chen; why bother with such methods? Perhaps she was overthinking it. It seemed he simply wanted her to follow him?

Honestly speaking, her impression of Gu Changge was actually quite good. After all, she had experienced enough, her vision was broad, and she knew that, regarding this incident, Gu Changge hadn't done anything wrong. On the contrary, it was Ye Chen who remained relentless, even threatening to kill Gu Changge. Yet Gu Changge did not hold a grudge. Such magnanimity and the bearing of an ambitious hero—his future achievements would be limitless.

" Young Master Gu, you don't need to say more. Since I have accepted Xiao Chen's kindness, I will not abandon him before he has grown up."

Afterwards, Yan Ji shook her head and directly declined Gu Changge 's kind offer of recruitment. Although the conditions were very tempting, she could not go against her own heart.

Gu Changge seemed somewhat disappointed by this. He sighed, "Of course, I will give Senior some time to consider. If you follow me, I will not hold Ye Chen 's offenses against him. Even having the Grand Profound Holy Land cancel his punishment would be just a matter of a single word."

"As for Su Qingge, I can also bestow her upon him."

"You..."

These words made the veins on Ye Chen 's forehead pop. He was suppressing his emotions with all his might. By now, Ye Chen understood— Gu Changge not only wanted to humiliate him but also wanted to take everything from him. He simply stopped speaking, his eyes cold as ice shards.

The Su Qingge whom he admired so much was, in Gu Changge 's mouth, reduced to a mere reward whose future fate could be decided with a single sentence. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, having strength really allows one to do whatever they want.

" Young Master Gu, please say no more. I appreciate your sincerity..."

Yan Ji was also a bit stunned; she hadn't expected Gu Changge to say such things. It could be said that he was full of sincerity.

" Senior, please think it over carefully. Gu Changge never forces others, and I certainly would not use Ye Chen 's life to threaten Senior."

At this moment, Gu Changge spoke again, his eyes carrying a strange glint. If he could really kill Ye Chen, how could he have dragged it out until now? Although this Yan Ji had lived a long time, her temperament was somewhat naive; dealing with her was even simpler than dealing with Su Qingge.

With a few words, he had dissolved the prejudice in her heart. After all, for tonight's performance, he had prepared for a long time. He had said what needed to be said, and now he just had to wait for the rift between this Master and disciple to widen. He could then sit back and reap the benefits.

"This Medicinal Pill is called the spirit gathering pill; Senior should recognize it."

At this moment, Gu Changge smiled slightly and unhurriedly took an object from his bosom. It was a pale purple Medicinal Pill, emitting multicolored light. Many visions appeared around it, with mountains, seas, and palaces rising and falling, appearing exceptionally miraculous.

"This is the spirit gathering pill?"

Yan Ji couldn't help but exclaim, her beautiful eyes unable to hide her shock.

" Senior 's current state is not good; consider this Medicinal Pill as Changge 's greeting gift for today."

Gu Changge wore a smile. After speaking, he left the Medicinal Pill behind and, without waiting for Yan Ji to refuse, walked straight out of the prison.

As the saying goes, you can't catch the wolf without sacrificing the child.

The smile on Gu Changge 's face gradually faded, becoming full of interest.
