Chapter 578: Bad Bamboo Had Good Bamboo Shoots
Translator: Sissy That Walk
In the dark room appeared another person besides the young condemned prisoner who had been exchanged for Hong Yulang.
The lock was right where it had been.
Hong Fang felt a sense of coldness under his feet.
Although he was reduced to a prisoner, he was still a master in the second level of reincarnation. The person came into the room yet escaped his awareness, hence manifesting his great power.
“Who are you?”
Hong Fang was on the alert and measuring the person.
The person was tall and handsome, wearing a black silk ribbon scarf and a spotless alchemist robe. He seemed to come from Heaven and his imposing manner could overwhelm anyone. On his forehead was a crimson blob looking like a drop of blood.
“A false letter has won your trust before. How come you cannot recognize me who is standing right before you?”
Hong Fang opened his eyes wide and was in great shock. He knelt down on the filthy ground, his knees getting limp.
“Master Hongru?” Hong Fang had already lost all his hope after what he had just gone through but Chen Hongru’s nighttime visit brought him a chance of survival. “Master Hongru, please save me!”
Hong Fang then realized that the man standing before him was not the real person but a substitute formed by Chen Hongru’s enormous spiritual power.
The man behind Concubine Luo was really Chen Hongru.
“I have come here for Ye Lingyue. I heard that she is your daughter. Do you know how much trouble she has caused to the Dan Palace?” Chen Hongru’s substitute had long since reached the prison.
Earlier, Chen had seen clearly the dogfight between Hong Fang and his wife.
Chen always looked down on such despicable people. This time, it was because Hong Fang could be of some help that Chen sent his substitute here late at night.
Hong Fang thought to himself: “It is this little bitch once again!” He could sense from Chen’s tone that Chen also bore a grudge against Ye Lingyue.
Then Hong Fang felt at ease and showed his resentment as well.
“She should not be my daughter. The bitchy bastard framed her biological father and secretly made my father take the poisonous Nine Realm Reincarnation Dan pill. What a wicked monster! I am trapped here and have no way out. If I can get out, I will surely torture the little bastard to death.”
Hong Fang hated Ye Lingyue in the extreme.
Because of her, Hong Fang was reduced to nothing. Because of her, he had to betray his wife and he was utterly isolated. Because of her, even his children now regarded him as enemy.
“Well. Now I give you a chance to speak about Ye Lingyue’s life story. If your elaborations satisfy me, I will consider letting you out. Remember to be honest with me. Otherwise, I can kill you right on the spot.” Chen Hongru said indifferently.
In this case, Hong Fang dared not conceal anything. He told Chen all about how Ye Lingyue was expelled from the Hong Manor in her childhood, how she and Ye Huangyu led a wandering life, how the two established their status in the Ye Manor, how they cooperated with the Lan Manor and joined the Alchemist Tower.
Hearing the words like the Ye Manor, Chen Hongru was in great alarm. He had long since linked Ye Lingyue with Ye Wuming. Now this idea proved to be true.
Moreover, this girl must have experienced something unusual since she was a fool before she was 13 but then turned extremely smart overnight.
Had she inherited anything from Ye Wuming?
Chen Hongru was getting more nervous. If all the presumptions were true: she stole the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix and inherited something from Ye Wuming, then it would not be long before she became a force to be reckon with.
He would by no means see her become another Ye Wuming.
“Master Hongru, that is all what happened.” Hong Fang finished saying, his mouth parched and tongue scorched. Then he secretly looked at Chen Hongru and was uncertain about what Chen was thinking about.
“Humph! You are such a jerk whose death will concern no one. It is strange that you had such a daughter as Ye Lingyue.” Chen Hongru showed great contempt for Hong Fang.
Ye Lingyue caused great trouble to Chen Hongru by stealing the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix. She survived the first grade of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, excelling others in intelligence.
Such a despicable person as Hong Fang could have a daughter as clever as Ye Lingyue. Bad bamboo had good bamboo shoots. How strange!
No wonder Ye Lingyue tried all means possible to kill Hong Fang.
Even Chen Hongru wanted to kill him in one move. His existence was a great shame for men!
“Um...” Hong Fang looked quite nervous. “Master Hongru, I have told you all. Could you please save me? If you let me join the Dan Palace, I will show absolute loyalty.”
“If you want me to save you, you must prove you are of value.” Something appeared on Chen’s fingertip and was then thrown onto the ground.
Hong Fang looked carefully and saw a Dan pill full of fragrance.
“What is this?” Hong Fang found the pill familiar.
He swallowed saliva.
“The Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill?”
Hong Fang had seen this pill. It was the pill Luo Song had sent to Hong Qingyun which could greatly enhance a cultivator’s power.
His voice trembled when he thought about how his father’s body was cracking.
“You can rest assured that there is nothing wrong with the pill. If you take it, your limited Yuan energy will not only recover but also it will help you exceed the third level of reincarnation. This is the clothing of bodyguards in the Lan Manor. In 3 days, Ye Huangyu will be married to Nie Fengxing. I am sure that you won’t miss their wedding.”
Chen finished saying and looked out of the cell.
The sounds of making love were vanishing gradually.
Zhuge Rou was held by the old prison guard and came back.
As soon as they came into the cell, they found another person there.
“Who are you?” The two were both in great shock. The old prison guard took out his saber and targeted it at Chen Hongru.
Chen sneered and looked grim. Bang! In an instant, the old prison guard who possessed the power of a congenital warrior felt down on the ground, his knees going limp. Then he could not move at all.
“These are two jade toad pills. Take them and you will become who you have seen just now.” Chen Hongru threw the pills to Hong Fang.
Hong Fang understood what should be done next, opening the mouth of the old prison guard and making him swallow one pill.
Zhuge Rou stood by the side and turned pale.
After taking the pill, the old prison guard’s body was cracking. Changes were taking place quickly in his small figure and wretched look.
In a moment, the prison guard changed into Hong Fang.
Hong Fang also took a pill and turned into the guard.
Hong Fang hurried to take off the clothes of the prison guard and put them on instead. He then thanked Chen and was ready to leave the cell.
