Chapter 22: The young girl is quite ruthless; the carrot and the stick.

The little girl is a bit cruel, carrot and stick

The young girl is quite ruthless; the carrot and the stick.

A smart and rational woman like Su Qingge, having chosen to follow Gu Changge, would certainly sever all ties with Ye Chen.

There is absolutely no doubt about that.

As a woman herself, Yan Ji could naturally guess Su Qingge 's intentions.

If it were her, she would do the same.

However, it was precisely because of this that she couldn't help but sigh.

Why must Little Chen harbor such great hostility toward Young Master Gu?

" Qingge, you are lying to me, right? How could this possibly be true?"

Inside the great hall, elegant smoke curled within the Void Realm.

Ye Chen was in great pain, unable to help but cover his forehead.

He couldn't believe that Su Qingge, who had always been aloof and unworldly, would actually say such things herself.

"Every word I said is true; it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. Do not come to pester me again in the future. If Young Master Gu sees us, I am afraid I will have to explain myself again..."

Su Qingge 's fair, pretty face was calm as she spoke without mercy.

She had already said what needed to be said.

If Ye Chen continued to be obsessed and refused to come to his senses, she would have no choice but to take action.

"It must be that Gu Changge used some evil technique on you. He comes from the legendary Upper Realm; he must know such methods..."

At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to suddenly react, unable to stop himself from shouting loudly.

His eyes, somewhat red, stared at Su Qingge.

At this moment, he looked like a wild beast.

"You have fallen into the demonic path, Little Chen, calm down quickly."

Seeing this, Yan Ji in the ring hurriedly cast a spell, turning it into waves of cooling sensation to help Ye Chen calm down quickly.

"I don't believe it..."

Ye Chen roared in pain. Why was the Saintess he had always admired now like this?

At this moment, Su Qingge 's expression also turned cold.

She drew her sword and prepared to strike.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just then, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the hall, accompanied by a chuckle.

"Is Saintess Qingge in?"

Gu Changge stood at the entrance, dressed in black robes. He was as handsome as jade, with a tall and slender figure, and a strange smile on his face.

At this moment, it was naturally time for him to deliver the final blow.

However, he could not be the one to do it.

Hearing the words of his old acquaintance Gu Changge, Ye Chen 's expression changed drastically, his face full of killing intent and hatred.

"Little Chen, leave quickly."

Inside the ring, Yan Ji 's expression also changed as she urged him.

Although Gu Changge had said he would not make things difficult for her, they had escaped from the dungeon, after all.

They had no moral ground to stand on.

The knocking sound outside the hall stunned Su Qingge, and questions emerged in her mind.

Why would Young Master Gu come to find her at this time?

No, based on Young Master Gu 's strength, perhaps he should have arrived long ago, but he just hadn't appeared.

Perhaps this was a test for her.

Pfft...

Therefore, Su Qingge 's thought was very simple.

Draw her sword.

The vast magical power of the Supernatural Power Realm surged. The sword light was cold and bone-chilling, sweeping across the Void Realm like a startled swan, bringing up a spray of blood.

"Ah..."

Ye Chen, who was preparing to flee, let out a miserable scream. Before he could react at all, Su Qingge pierced his chest with her sword.

If it hadn't been for a critical moment where he used his powerful combat instincts to retreat more than half a step,

this sword would likely have pierced his heart.

"Not good..."

"This young girl is quite ruthless."

Yan Ji also didn't expect Su Qingge 's methods to be so terrifying, directly trying to kill Ye Chen.

Fortunately, her current state as a remnant soul was decent, so she hurriedly swept up Ye Chen with her magical power and broke through the window to escape.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this sound, Gu Changge seemed somewhat puzzled and surprised, walking straight in after pushing open the hall door.

" Young Master Gu..."

Su Qingge looked back at Gu Changge, her expression very calm. " Qingge has let you down."

She could naturally tell that Gu Changge 's expression was faked.

From beginning to end, he had been hiding in the shadows watching the show.

She couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

If her performance had been even slightly off, she would definitely have fallen into an abyss of no return.

Because she didn't know that Gu Changge had been hiding in the shadows all along.

Everything she did, he had seen with his own eyes.

This man was truly too terrifying.

"No, how could you let me down?"

Gu Changge said with a smile, his mood seemingly very pleasant.

"Really?"

Su Qingge was somewhat skeptical. She had indeed intended to kill Ye Chen just now, but she hadn't expected him to dodge it.

She was a bit worried that Gu Changge would think she was showing mercy.

"It is naturally true." Gu Changge smiled. If Ye Chen were so easy to kill, why would he go to such great lengths?

"Next time you meet, it will likely be a situation of life and death between you and Ye Chen. Do you have any regrets?"

Su Qingge shook her head. "Since I have followed Young Master Gu, I had long anticipated this day."

"Good."

Gu Changge 's smile did not diminish, and he nodded.

Now, Su Qingge had completely broken ties with Ye Chen, and could even be called mortal enemies.

He didn't need to be harsh on her anymore.

The so-called carrot and the stick is the only way to make someone truly submit.

Su Qingge, after all, possessed Luck far surpassing ordinary people; her future achievements would likely not be low.

Gu Changge naturally wanted Su Qingge to be able to be used by him sincerely.

Rather than how it was now, out of fear of him.

"Rest assured, this was not a test for you. From beginning to end, I have trusted you very much; I simply wanted to watch a show."

Gu Changge said with a chuckle, bringing her into his arms with a touch of just the right amount of gentleness.

Su Qingge stood on the spot, her delicate body trembling, blinking her eyes, which were like flawless jade.

It was her first time being this close to a man.

Especially since Gu Changge, who was always aloof and intimidating, had actually spoken such gentle words.

Her heart suddenly became a little chaotic...
