Chapter 1135: Ye, As Enigmatic as a Demon
Fang Ruolan's repeated insistence made Zhu Ziyue uncomfortable, even Ye Chen was getting anxious.
Zhu Ziyue lived in the courtyard house, intending to confine herself and wait for Ye Chen to come to her.
Moreover, Ye Chen had the same idea.
However, with Fang Ruolan staying here, she was just causing trouble!
"Ruolan, don't make things more complicated here, just come back with me!" Ye Chen looked at Fang Ruolan and said with a sheepish smile.
"My master hasn't recovered yet, how can I leave without worry?" Fang Ruolan said.
"Her injuries are no longer serious, she just needs to rest quietly, she doesn't need your care!" Ye Chen replied.
"But she's my master. If I don't take care of her, who will?" Fang Ruolan stubbornly said.
"I know... but your master is fine, she doesn't need to be looked after!" Ye Chen said awkwardly.
It was only natural for Fang Ruolan to care for her master! Ye Chen was Fang Ruolan's man, yet he was thinking of taking advantage of her master; no matter how you looked at it, it wasn't right!
"Ye Chen, what's wrong with you?" Fang Ruolan asked suspiciously. "I want to stay and take care of my master, why are you stopping me for no reason?"
"I can't bear to be without you!" Ye Chen replied, bracing himself. "Besides, you're so beautiful, I'm worried about all the people who like you when you're out there!"
"What's there to fear? You're the only one in my heart, I'm not going to run off with anyone else!" Fang Ruolan rolled her eyes at him and said.
"But I can't sleep without you at night! And, weren't you going to give me a son?" Ye Chen's gaze suddenly became fiery, and he looked Fang Ruolan up and down.
"Behave yourself!" Zhu Ziyue was right there, and Ye Chen dared to be so blatant, making Fang Ruolan terribly embarrassed, her cheeks turning red.
"Ruolan, I don't need you to take care of me, go with Ye Chen!" Zhu Ziyue added in support.
If Fang Ruolan stayed, it would just be chaos, how could Zhu Ziyue agree?
"Master, I just want to look after you, I'll leave after your injury is healed!" Fang Ruolan said.
"I'm already fine, no need for you to take care of me!" Zhu Ziyue said.
"Uh." Fang Ruolan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Master, your words sound so familiar, how come they sound just like what Ye Chen said, did you two plan this?"
"..." Fang Ruolan's question startled Zhu Ziyue, revealing a hint of panic; did this little girl find out?
"Master, did Ye Chen threaten you, threatening you to stay here and not leave with us?"
Ye Chen and Zhu Ziyue were butting heads, almost like a pair of enemies, which made Fang Ruolan suspicious.
However, she suspected the two were at odds, thinking Ye Chen had threatened Zhu Ziyue and forced her to stay here.
Fang Ruolan would never imagine that Ye Chen had actually gotten involved with Zhu Ziyue.
"You're overthinking!" Zhu Ziyue said. "Ye Chen didn't threaten me, I just want some peace and quiet!"
"Who is Jingjing?" Fang Ruolan asked.
"..."
The three of them huddled together discussing for quite a while, but Fang Ruolan still stayed, leaving Ye Chen and Zhu Ziyue feeling quite powerless.
Just like that, Ye Chen's attempts to secretly see Zhu Ziyue became more problematic.
"Ye Chen, you must come to see me often!" Fang Ruolan came over to Ye Chen, holding his arm and shaking it. "If you come once a day, it won't be long before I conceive!"
"Mhm, I'll definitely come often to properly teach you a lesson!"
Fang Ruolan was unmoved by both hard and soft tactics; insisting on staying, ruining Ye Chen's plans, how could he not teach her a lesson!
"Sigh!"
Zhu Ziyue sighed inwardly, also feeling a bit resentful towards her disciple.
However, fearing Fang Ruolan would notice anything, Zhu Ziyue didn't dare say too much, as after all, such matters couldn't be exposed to light.
"Knock, knock."
At this moment, the wooden door of the courtyard was knocked on, indicating an unexpected visitor had arrived.
"I'll get the door!" Fang Ruolan stood up, volunteering.
This small courtyard was extremely secluded, generally with no disturbances, so the knocking at this moment definitely meant one of Ye Chen's women had come.
Fang Ruolan had long wanted to meet those women, to see what right they had to compete with her!
However, when Fang Ruolan opened the wooden door, the scene she imagined didn't appear. Outside the door were not a group of women, only a woman and a child!
This woman was very beautiful, with an even more spiritual charm, appearing very refined and out of the ordinary!
Fang Ruolan recognized this woman, even having admired her before; she was the Huaxia Dragon Head—Yun Zheyue!
However, while Fang Ruolan recognized Yun Zheyue, she didn't recognize the child, a little girl of exquisite beauty!
Could it be, this adorable little girl was Ye Chen's daughter? Fang Ruolan thought silently to herself.
"Sage Master Ziyue, it's been years, yet your charm remains unchanged!"
Yun Zheyue, this legendary heroine, made her entrance, bringing Ye with her. However, Yun Zheyue ignored Fang Ruolan and walked into the courtyard, gazing at Zhu Ziyue.
"Yun Zheyue, we're so familiar, there's no need for pleasantries!" Zhu Ziyue said with a generous smile, showing no signs of restraint.
"Haha, I thought Ye Chen went to find your disciple, but unexpectedly he found you too!" Yun Zheyue looked at Zhu Ziyue and slowly approached with a profound smile.
"Miaojiang has undergone turmoil, and the legacy has been lost!" Zhu Ziyue said indifferently. "Moreover, I almost perished in the turmoil, but luckily Ye Chen saved my life, so I shamelessly came along!"
"You're the master of Miaojiang, even if the legacy is lost, you'll continue to guard it and won't leave, right?" Yun Zheyue said.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Ziyue tightened inside, pretending to be casual.
"I mean nothing, just saying whatever comes to mind!" Yun Zheyue glanced at Fang Ruolan, then at Zhu Ziyue, and inexplicably laughed.
"..."
Yun Zheyue's profound smile made Zhu Ziyue feel very uneasy. Because in front of Yun Zheyue, she seemed to be exposed, revealing all secrets!
Could it be that Yun Zheyue discovered something?
Impossible, her relationship with Ye Chen is secretive, even Fang Ruolan hasn't noticed, how could Yun Zheyue know?
"Ziyue, since you've come with Ye Chen, then we're family!" Yun Zheyue said. "This capital city is my territory, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to ask me!"
"She really found out!"
Zhu Ziyue's expression changed slightly, hardly daring to believe that Yun Zheyue really knew? But how did Yun Zheyue discover their secret relationship?!
"Zhao Yue, have you achieved sainthood?" Ye Chen noticed Zhu Ziyue's awkwardness, so he hurriedly stepped in and said.
Ye Chen had left for a while, and Yun Zheyue unexpectedly proved herself as a saint and became a mighty figure in the Saint Path!
"I obtained the title of Great Saint, naturally my cultivation advanced rapidly, what's there to be surprised about?" Yun Zheyue said. "But you, truly increasingly surprising, went to Miaojiang, not only brought back your disciple but also managed to bring the master's teacher along!"
"..."
"Little girl, what's your name?"
Fang Ruolan was engaging with Ye, so she didn't pay attention to the other side's situation, only Ye was little but wise, not bothering with Fang Ruolan, putting her in a predicament.
Ye is Ye Chen's daughter, the family's precious treasure. If Fang Ruolan can't handle her, how can her future days be good?
Fang Ruolan wanted to give Ye Chen a son, but giving birth to a son isn't that easy. At least before she has a son, Ye is the family's treasure, Fang Ruolan wants to get along well with her.
"Little girl, why aren't you speaking, Aunty is asking you a question!" Fang Ruolan said patiently.
"Are you my Aunty or my young mother?" Ye suddenly asked, her voice light.
"What?" Ye had been silent, suddenly spoke, and asked such a question, leaving Fang Ruolan stunned.
"Are you my father's woman?" Ye said. "If so, then you're my young mother!"
"This..." Fang Ruolan felt a bit awkward, Ye is just a child, she can't frankly reveal everything and declare she's Ye Chen's junior wife, can she?
"It's okay, you don't need to be embarrassed!" Ye said. "I have many young mothers, whether you're here or not doesn't make a difference, as long as you behave, my mother won't bully you!"
"..."
Fang Ruolan's face froze, completely dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine that the innocent and adorable Ye would say such things!
"Is that your master?" Ye looked at Zhu Ziyue and asked. "Your master is so beautiful, is she my father's girlfriend?"
"Gulp!" Fang Ruolan blinked and swallowed hard, almost wanting to admonish. This little girl, not big in stature, but dares to say anything!
"Sigh!" Ye suddenly sighed. "I have too many young mothers, so many I can't count, what should I do?"
"Among all my young mothers, what rank are you?"
"..."
Ye's witty remarks were too many, each catching Fang Ruolan off guard, not knowing how to reply.
"Compared to my young mothers, you're still too inexperienced, easy to suffer losses!" Ye shook her head and sighed, appearing nothing like a child.
"How am I inexperienced, how am I losing?" Fang Ruolan looked at Ye, feeling defiant inside.
"Alright, I'll ask you three questions, you must answer truthfully!" Ye said, with her hands behind her back, resembling an adult.
"Ask, feel free and bold!"
Ye's demeanor was too uncanny for Fang Ruolan to handle, harboring grievances and pondering how to regain her dignity, Ye's timing for the questions was just right.
"First question, do you like my father?" Ye glanced at Ye Chen, then asked Fang Ruolan.
"..."
Not as easily answered as imagined, Ye's first question made Fang Ruolan hesitate.
Ye is Ye Chen's daughter, if she openly admits she likes him, is that really okay? Won't it affect the child?
