Chapter 35 : The Old Demon Gu Cang
At Banished Immortal Peak, in the garden, Jiang Chen lay on a chair, basking in the sun as usual. Ever since he became obsessed with “slacking off,” he increasingly enjoyed this feeling. His slacking-off approach even made Yan Ruyu question life itself.
Since she arrived at Banished Immortal Peak, she had never seen Jiang Chen practice cultivation. Despite this, his cultivation level was steadily rising, although he hadn’t yet entered the Great Master realm.
Yan Ruyu could clearly sense that Jiang Chen was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough, like a window paper that could be punctured to enter a new world.
Apart from slacking off, the All Pleasure Sect’s secret method also played an exceptional role. The Yin-Yang method benefitted both practitioners. Practicing daily with Yan Ruyu, Jiang Chen’s cultivation level could hardly not improve.
This kind of cultivation also caused Yan Ruyu’s level to soar rapidly. In just half a month, she had entered the third level of the True King realm. Even the powerful secret methods of the All Pleasure Sect were not this terrifying.
However, the progress could be attributed to the combination their innate Yin constitution and Yang constitution, special physiques of the Yin-Yang Great Path. Under the fusion of the secret method, their cultivation speed was naturally fast.
This made Yan Ruyu even more obsessed with cultivation, practicing day and night without rest. However, recently, she began to fear being worn out completely.
“Primordial Holy Son!” Wang Hu, the leader of Banished Immortal Peak, hurriedly came and knelt respectfully in front of Jiang Chen.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Chen asked without turning his head.
“Ye Qincheng wants to see the Primordial Holy Son!”
“No!” Jiang Chen immediately refused without a second thought. He was now unwilling to deal with this foolish woman, finding her annoying.
“Ah, this…” Wang Hu couldn’t help but raise his head, as if he’d misheard. In the past, the Primordial Holy Son would’ve been impatient to see Fairy Ye. It seemed that the rumors were true. The Primordial Holy Son is different from before. He no longer liked her as before.
Instead, it was replaced by disgust. No one knew what had happened between the two. To be able to make the Primordial Holy Son hate Fairy Ye so much. However, these were not things that he could probe into. Wang Hu only said that in his heart.
Wang Hu, seemingly surprised, hesitated but then retreated. At the gate Wang Hu hurried over and said somewhat helplessly, “Fairy Ye, please go back. The Saint doesn’t wish to see you today!”
‘True enough. He doesn’t want to see me.’ Ye Qingcheng looked a little disappointed. She had expected this when she came over. However, it was another matter to actually hear it. She couldn’t help but feel disappointed as this had never happened before.
“Commander Wang please inform him again. Just say I have an urgent matter to discuss, and after this, I will not bother him again.” She would usually walk away, but this time she felt an unusual sense of loss and needed to see Jiang Chen, as he was the only one who knew who her family’s enemy was.
Wang Hu, troubled by the situation, knew it was inappropriate to ask Jiang Chen again after he had already refused to see Ye Qincheng. He suggested to her, “Miss Ye, perhaps you could come back another day. The Primordial Holy Son doesn’t wish to see anyone today.”
Ye Qincheng, her face showing a hint of sadness, didn’t insist. She left dejectedly. Wang Hu shook his head, lamenting, “If only she hadn’t been so headstrong before. She might have been in Yan Ruyu’s place, cherished by the Primordial Holy Son, instead of being unable to even meet him now.”
For the next half month, Ye Qincheng visited Banished Immortal Peak daily, persistently trying to see Jiang Chen.
“She’s here again?” Jiang Chen was a bit helpless when he saw Wang Hu hurrying over.
“Mm!” Wang Hu nodded, also extremely helpless.
“Let her in!” Jiang Chen was a bit helpless. He really wanted to never see Ye Qingcheng again. But Ye Qingcheng was his junior sister after all and she was doted on by his cheap master. If he did that, his master would definitely punish him when she returns.
Not long after.
Ye Qingcheng walked over slowly and bowed to Jiang Chen. “Senior brother Jiang!”
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Chen didn’t bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
“I want to know who Du Guyun’s father is!” Ye Qingcheng was also a straightforward person. She directly stated her purpose.
“How would I know? I don’t even know who Du Guyun is. How would I know who his father is?”
A trace of suspicion appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. ‘Why is this stupid woman asking about Du Guyun’s father?’
‘I remember that Du Guyun’s father didn’t appear until much later. Moreover, Du Guyun doesn’t even know who his father is now. There’s no way to find out who his father is! How did she think of asking me this?’ Jiang Chen muttered in his heart.
All of this seemed too strange.
‘He knows!’ Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath. ‘I was right to find Jiang Chen!’
“I heard from some sources that the person who annihilated my entire clan was Du Guyun’s father! But I don’t have any news about Du Guyun’s father. Senior Brother, you are very resourceful, so you might know something!”
“That’s why I came here to ask. The person who gave me the information told me that I can get the answer I want from you!” Ye Qingcheng said softly.
After hearing this Jiang Chen stared at Ye Qingcheng, “Who told you that?!”
This was too strange. The number of people who knew about Ye Qingcheng’s enemies could be counted on one hand. Especially at this time, almost no one knew. Only later on would people know and now, Ye Qingcheng was the first to know.
‘Could it be that Ye Qingcheng came into contact with Old Demon Gu Cang?’
‘Old Demon Gu Cang is one of the few people who know the truth. Back then, when Du Guyun’s father’s identity was exposed, it was also through this old fellow!’ Jiang Chen pondered.
In the original novel, the identity of Du Guyun’s father was exposed through this old demon. Because this person was Du Guyun’s father’s enemy, the two of them had been enemies for a long time.
In order to deal with Du Guyun’s father, he had used countless means. Revealing that Du Guyun’s father had annihilated the Ye family was only one of them.
‘Old Demon Gu Cang.’ Ye Qingcheng’s eyes flashed. This name wasn’t unfamiliar to her. This was an exceedingly famous demon who had killed countless people and was hunted down by many factions.
However, this old demon’s methods actually allowed him to live quite comfortably under the pursuit of countless factions.
“I don’t know!” Jiang Chen shook his head. He didn’t want to pay attention and didn’t want to interfere. Naturally, he wouldn’t say anything.
“Senior Brother, are you sure you don’t know?”
“Of course!” Jiang Chen insisted, his expression extremely impatient. It was almost written on his face, don’t ask. I don’t want to answer, you can scram.
“I understand! Sorry for disturbing senior Brother!” Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath. She knew that Jiang Chen wouldn’t say anything even if she continued to ask.
