Chapter 1129: Are You Jealous?
Miaojiang is a wild land, full of the unknown and danger, and a place of chaos!
Gu magic thrives here, making this land no longer barren. Moreover, due to the increasing prosperity of Gu magic, many talents have emerged, filling this land with wonder and making outsiders full of awe.
Zhu Ziyue is one such person. She is the leader among them, her skills unrivaled, deeply respected by all!
Zhu Ziyue has been honored as the ruler of Miaojiang, managing this domain for so many years, and has developed deep feelings for it.
However, when Zhu Ziyue spread her Divine Sense, she couldn't sense any vitality, which made her heart tighten.
"How could this be?"
Despite her weakness, Zhu Ziyue stepped into the air, showing disbelief on her face.
"There are so many people in Miaojiang, how could they all be gone, how could it be so desolate?"
Miaojiang is a dangerous place, sparsely populated, but not uninhabited!
Yet, the desolation before her eyes, with not a single figure in sight, chilled Zhu Ziyue's heart and filled her with sorrow.
"Li Wuxie held a Gu God ritual and summoned the Gu God to devour everything, leading to Miaojiang's downfall!" Fang Ruolan said.
"Li Wuxie!"
Zhu Ziyue chanted this name, showing immense hatred, despite Li Wuxie already being dead, her hatred did not dissipate.
"Master, Li Wuxie is dead, the Gu God was also repelled, it was Ye Chen who saved us!" Fang Ruolan looked at Ye Chen, with a hint of pride.
As powerful as Li Wuxie, as terrifying as the Gu God, both were crushed and driven away by Ye Chen. Why wouldn't Fang Ruolan be proud? This is her man!
"Ye Chen!" Zhu Ziyue looked at Ye Chen again, her emotions now different.
Zhu Ziyue woke from her coma, seeing Ye Chen about to do something bad, she was extremely displeased.
However, before Zhu Ziyue could flare up, she was overwhelmed by Ye Chen.
Additionally, Fang Ruolan's truthful recount further shocked Zhu Ziyue, nearly scaring her to death!
At this moment, Zhu Ziyue no longer underestimated him, her gaze at Ye Chen was full of awe.
Whether it's the rogue disciple Li Wuxie, or the legendary Gu God, they are both beings Zhu Ziyue cannot reach.
However, these two ferocious gods were punched to death by Ye Chen, this is truly terrifying.
By this time, Zhu Ziyue dared not doubt anymore, she was full of awe for Ye Chen, even developing a sense of reverence.
Zhu Ziyue is not ungrateful, Ye Chen saved her life, she naturally feels grateful.
"No need for thanks, because I wasn't saving you, I was saving my wife!" Ye Chen said. "Of course, I saved you too, even if it's just in passing, I'm your savior!"
"..."
Zhu Ziyue just wanted to thank Ye Chen, after all, this was a life-saving grace, not thanking earnestly was truly against etiquette.
However, Ye Chen gave her a very cold feeling, and his tone was full of arrogance, as if he looked down on her. This greatly provoked Zhu Ziyue, leaving her speechless.
"Ruolan, now that Zhu Ziyue has awakened, you should come home with me!" Ye Chen said to Fang Ruolan.
"Hmm!" Fang Ruolan nodded slowly.
They were delayed in Miaojiang for so long, uneasy about Zhu Ziyue. Now that Zhu Ziyue is out of danger and awakened, they can leave with peace of mind.
"Wait!" Zhu Ziyue suddenly said. "What did you just say, where is Ruolan going?"
"Ruolan is going home with me!" Ye Chen said.
"No!" Zhu Ziyue said. "Fang Ruolan is my disciple, what right do you have to take her home?"
"But, you have long since betrothed Ruolan to me, why can't I take her home?" Ye Chen said.
Back then, Zhu Ziyue, in order to get the other side flower, did not hesitate to betroth Fang Ruolan to him, this is Ye Chen's confidence.
Moreover, even without this marriage agreement, as long as he and Fang Ruolan are in love, Zhu Ziyue can't stop them!
"I did promise Ruolan to you, but you didn't come for ten years, making me lose trust, I won't agree to this marriage again!" Zhu Ziyue said coldly.
"I'm marrying Fang Ruolan, not you Zhu Ziyue, whether you trust me or not is none of my concern!" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "And, how did I not come? Five years ago, I came once, did you forget?"
"Hmph!" Zhu Ziyue snorted coldly. "Only coming once in ten years, there's no need to mention it!"
"Oh, you're just going against me!" Ye Chen was unhappy.
He's marrying Fang Ruolan, not Zhu Ziyue, why is she opposing him?
"Go back the way you came, Ruolan will not leave with you!" Zhu Ziyue said assertively.
"Zhu Ziyue, how have I offended you to make you so annoyed with me, constantly opposing me?" Ye Chen said.
"I just think you've lost your original intention, you won't treat Ruolan well anymore, that's why I'm firmly opposed!" Zhu Ziyue said.
"Hmm, alright, alright." Ye Chen glanced at Zhu Ziyue, then nodded, seemingly agreeing with her words.
"Ye Chen, don't quarrel with Master, I'll go with you!"
Ye Chen and Zhu Ziyue argued fiercely, even almost about to take action, but Fang Ruolan kept watching without any intention to intervene.
Fang Ruolan was inclined towards Ye Chen, but how could she speak up for him, speaking ill of her master?
However, the harsher Zhu Ziyue spoke, the more displeased Fang Ruolan was, because this was blocking her happiness!
"Fang Ruolan, if you still acknowledge me as your master, you cannot leave with Ye Chen, otherwise I will expel you from the sect, disown you as my disciple!" Zhu Ziyue said to Fang Ruolan.
"Master, why are you like this!" Fang Ruolan looked at Zhu Ziyue, full of grievance, her master wanting to break up her marriage, it's really too cruel!
"I'm doing this for your own good, Ye Chen's character is unreliable, he's not worthy of your love!" Zhu Ziyue said stubbornly.
"But..."
"Enough, don't say anymore!" Zhu Ziyue interrupted her, saying. "If you still recognize me as your master, then break off your relationship with Ye Chen!"
"..."
Fang Ruolan looked at Zhu Ziyue, dumbfounded, she didn't know what to say, she now only had one thought, how has master become so different, so mean?!
"Ruolan, go back to the cave dwelling first, I have something to say!" Ye Chen suddenly spoke, actually asking Fang Ruolan to leave, wanting to talk to Zhu Ziyue alone.
"Ye Chen, what are you planning?" Fang Ruolan was stunned.
Ye Chen and Zhu Ziyue both seemed strange, which made Fang Ruolan very confused, not knowing what they were up to.
"I'll have a good talk with your master, open up, and make some guarantees, so she'll feel comfortable leaving you in my care!" Ye Chen said with a gentle smile.
"This!" Fang Ruolan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhu Ziyue. "Master, then you have a good chat, I'll go back first!"
"Hmm." Zhu Ziyue softly replied, surprisingly agreeing to have a private talk with Ye Chen.
"..."
Ultimately, Fang Ruolan left, bewildered, watching them for a moment before returning to the cave dwelling.
After Fang Ruolan returned to the cave dwelling, only the two of them were left here, but neither had anything to say, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
"What do you want to say to me now that you've asked Ruolan to leave?" Finally, Zhu Ziyue spoke first, wanting to see what Ye Chen was playing at.
"Are you jealous?" Ye Chen looked at Zhu Ziyue with intense eyes and said.
