Chapter 1060: Chapter 1059: Darling, Let’s Go to Bed! (3 more)
Chen Batian recently succeeded in achieving Foundation Establishnt. How could he possibly be a match for soone at the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage? He had no choice but to admit defeat.
Their Cultivation levels were worlds apart, so Chen Batian conceding wasn’t necessarily shaful. Still, it left him feeling sowhat frustrated.
Ye Haochuan, as the Alliance Master of Long Alliance, was only at Foundation Establishnt Early Stage. So why would such a powerful cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage willingly fall under his command?
Even more noteworthy was the fact that Chen Batian had always prided himself on being a prodigy, yet now he had suffered a severe blow to his confidence.
Zhu Wenjing wasn’t older than him in age, yet she had surpassed him by two whole Boundaries. It was terrifying—such an unbelievable talent, whom he hadn’t even heard of until now.
Back at the banquet, the mbers of the Galaxy Battle Team were sighing in disappointnt: “Alliance Master Chen admitted defeat too quickly—how disappointing!”
“Exactly. At the very least, he should’ve fought fiercely for over three hundred rounds. Even if he were to lose, he should’ve lost with dignity!”
Chen Batian growled angrily: “Li Xinghe, if you’ve got the guts, why don’t you step up and fight her? I’d love to see if you can last three hundred rounds against soone at the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage!”
Li Xinghe, the captain of the Galaxy Battle Team, heard this and could only respond with a look of chagrin, deciding not to say anything more.
At that mont, Chen Batian cast a venomous glare at Ye Haochuan and spoke bitterly, “The Long Alliance sure is packed with talent, but I still greatly anticipate the opportunity to have a match with Brother Ye!”
Hmph, if I can’t beat soone at the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage, surely I can take down soone at the Early Stage!
With such thoughts, Chen Batian felt a little more at ease. Losing to the Vice Alliance Master of Long Alliance was one thing, but if he could defeat the Alliance Master himself, all would be redeed.
Langfan snorted derisively: “Get over yourself. You couldn’t even handle a small fry from our Long Alliance, yet you dare to boast before our Alliance Master?”
This remark sent Chen Batian into a fury, but a mber of Tianyu Alliance stepped forward to defend him: “The Vice Alliance Master of Long Alliance is just a ‘small fry’? Then wouldn’t that make you nothing more than a little fish in the pond?”
Huang Hongfei chid in: “What Vice Alliance Master? She was temporarily given that title as a favor to Alliance Master Chen, just to spare his dignity when he took the stage. Hahaha…”
The crowd burst into laughter, leaving the mbers of Tianyu Alliance fuming but speechless—after all, losers had no right to speak.
Zhu Wenjing returned in triumph, and Ye Haochuan said indifferently, “Sit.”
To be honest, Ye Haochuan wasn’t very familiar with Zhu Wenjing. Moreover, with Zhu Qingshuang glaring at him from the sidelines, he wouldn’t dare stir up trouble by striking up a conversation with Zhu Wenjing.
This, however, benefited Langfan and the other single n in the room. They couldn’t take their eyes off her, practically glowing with infatuation.
Still, Zhu Wenjing was a powerhouse at the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage, so Langfan and the others didn’t dare to get overly bold with their remarks. Zhu Wenjing, unaccustod to such attention, couldn’t help laughing happily as they teased her.
…
After the banquet, Zhu Wenjing parted ways with the mbers of Long Alliance. Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you going?”
Zhu Wenjing replied helplessly, “I arrived late, and the guest rooms on the western side are all occupied. There are only empty rooms on the eastern side, so I had no choice but to stay there.”
Ye Haochuan, a bit curious, asked, “If you arrived late and didn’t have an invitation, how did you manage to get into the manor?”
Zhu Wenjing’s eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled mischievously and said, “That’s a secret!” Then, she skipped away.
After returning to his room and resting for a bit, Ye Haochuan said to Zhu Qingshuang, “You rest first; I’m going to check on Zhu Wenjing.”
Zhu Qingshuang grumbled in displeasure, “Are mistresses this brazen nowadays?”
“Co on, what are you jealous about?”
“Sneaking off to et a young girl in the middle of the night—dare you say your conscience is clean?”
“My dear lady!” Ye Haochuan pleaded, “Zhu Wenjing is such a reckless girl. I’m worried she might’ve sneaked out without permission. Her family in the Imperial Capital is a big na—if anything happens to her, I wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences!”
Considering the distance between the eastern and western sides, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel concerned.
When he arrived at the guest rooms on the eastern side, identifying the rooms was easy—they were marked with the respective Alliance nas. Lingyun Manor had taken extra precautions to prevent guests from entering the wrong rooms—or worse, intentionally entering them.
There was only one room marked as belonging to the Long Alliance, so it wasn’t difficult to find. The lights inside were still on. Just as Ye Haochuan was about to knock on the door, he heard a voice inside scolding: “Wenjing, what you did was truly reckless!”
“Elder Gu, I know I was wrong! But that person was causing trouble for Long Alliance—I just couldn’t hold back at the ti. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll never do it again!”
“I don’t believe a single word you say!”
Inside the room, Zhu Wenjing was being reprimanded by an elderly man, likely a senior from her family. It seed that after the previous incident, the Zhu Family had sent an expert to keep an eye on her to ensure her safety. Though the old man was a bit of a nuisance, his presence did eliminate any concerns about Zhu Wenjing’s security.
Just as Ye Haochuan was about to leave, a woman’s voice suddenly sounded behind him: “You must be the Alliance Master of Long Alliance, Ye Haochuan?”
Ye Haochuan turned around to see an alluring woman staring intently at him. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting, saying, “May I ask who you are?”
“I am Zou Yuzhu, Moon Hall Master of Lone Star Alliance,” she replied with a smile.
Damn it! She scared the hell out of !
Upon hearing her na, Ye Haochuan imdiately felt uneasy. Due to the matter with the Blood Refinent Bead, his relationship with Lone Star Alliance was already strained. He wasn’t sure whether Zou Yuzhu knew anything about it.
Judging by her deanor, she likely didn’t know—or else she wouldn’t be speaking so courteously.
“Ah, the esteed Moon Hall Master of the mortal affairs division from Lone Star Alliance! I’ve been looking forward to eting you…” Ye Haochuan, of course, had heard of Zou Yuzhu before coming to Lingyun Manor.
Zou Yuzhu remarked, “If I’m not mistaken, Long Alliance’s guest rooms are arranged on the western side. Why have you co to the eastern side in the middle of the night, Alliance Master Ye?”
Ye Haochuan gestured toward Zhu Wenjing’s room and explained, “I have a friend who arrived late and was assigned accommodations here. I’m just checking in on her.”
Zou Yuzhu smiled and said, “Ah, I see. I’ve heard that the mbers of Long Alliance are extraordinarily gifted, and tonight has proven that to be true!”
“You flatter us, Hall Master Zou.”
“The na ‘Long Alliance’ is quite intriguing. It reminds of an organization I once knew—it also had ‘Long’ in its na.”
Damn it! What is this woman trying to say? Is she probing ?
Zou Yuzhu’s words carried subtle implications, but Ye Haochuan smiled and replied, “It seems Hall Master Zou is quite a nostalgic person!”
Zou Yuzhu furrowed her brows and stared at Ye Haochuan for a long mont before finally saying, “It’s getting late. Alliance Master Ye, you should return to rest. I’m looking forward to seeing your performance tomorrow. Hehe…”
With that, Zou Yuzhu swayed her hips and returned to her room. Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but shudder. “Talking to won really isn’t my strong suit!”
Back in the west-side guest room, Zhu Qingshuang was already lying on the bed. Ye Haochuan imdiately put on a bright smile and said, “My dear, let’s settle in for the night!”
“Get lost!” Zhu Qingshuang tossed a pillow and a blanket at him, then said coldly, “Go sleep in your own room!”
“We’ve already kissed—don’t you think it’s ti we took things further?”
“Scram! If you dare sneak into my room tonight…” Zhu Qingshuang squinted her eyes threateningly, sohow producing a pair of scissors out of nowhere. “I’ll… snip it off!”
Ye Haochuan instantly felt a cold shiver down below and growled angrily, “You win this ti!”
