Chapter 278 – Sentenced To Death (1/2)

Shui Mengchan could not agree to the condition proposed by Ye Wuchen, at least not now. Since she was little, she had prepared to give everything to the Southern Emperor Sect, and there was no way she would give away herself so easily to Ye Wuchen. He was too cunning, and she was not willing to comply. And maybe he was setting a trap for her, a trap that she would have no turning back.

Initially, she went to the bedroom of Ye Wuchen alone, and she didn’t expect Ye Wuchen was actually waiting for her. In the beginning, she was in a passive situation, and she was naturally going according to his flow. It’s like he had anticipated every word she was going to say, and for each sentence coming from his mouth, there was no way she could fight back. In the end, although she showed a bit of threatening, she was made only more hesitant afterward.

“Wait” Ye Wuchen called and stopped her, “you’re quite sincere to come here all alone, and I can’t make you come for nothing. Well, I am going to tell you a secret. How’s that? Something big about the Southern Emperor Sect!” Ye Wuchen obviously sounded harsher and more serious.

Shui Mengchan stopped, she turned around and looked at him.

“I’ve heard that the current Sect leader is your father, Shui Yuntian. Some time ago, I’ve heard of an interesting rumor…wait, I’m not going to tell you about it just yet. Let me ask you, have you ever doubted whether he’s your biological father?” Ye Wuchen was looking forward to her reaction.

Like what he’d expected, Shui Mengchan tightened her eyes and asked anxiously, “what do you mean?”

It was an expected reaction. Ye Wuchen tried to stretch his body that had turned stiff from sitting for too long, then he said casually, “I wasn’t quite sure before. But your reaction told me that you’d thought about it. Let me guess again. You have a brother called Shui Wuque. He’s about the same age as mine. If my assumption is correct, when the Southern Emperor wanted to conquer the world, he didn’t share the same views, did he? And that’s why when you arrived at Tianlong City, he was in somewhere else.”

Shui Mengchan, “!!!”

“You don’t have to answer. Your expression has already told me what the answer is. You can rest assured that I have not spied on you, nor did I see it with my own eyes, I was just using my common sense to make this assumption. And now…I will tell you what the rumor is.” Ye Wuchen paused, before he continued, “I’ve heard someone say that, the Southern Emperor Sect and Northern Emperor Sect were given birth by the ancient God, Southern and Northern Emperor, they have the pure blood of the Southern and Northern Emperor, and that’s why they have such incredible powers. And for anyone who has this pure blood, there can only be one male in that generation, and that person will become the sect leader of Northern Emperor Sect, or the Southern Emperor Sect. That is because…anyone who has this pure blood flowing inside him will never do anything to betray his family, and he’ll be the most loyal person ever. So, your brother is not someone who betrays his father, and he firmly insists on what’s been taught by his ascendants. But your father had done the opposite…so, if he’s your birth father, how could he become the sect leader? Have you ever doubted whether he’s your father after all? If he’s not your father, then who is? Could he be…”

Ye Wuchen stopped. At this time, he could hear Shui Mengchan gasping heavily.

“From whom have you heard of this rumor?!” Shui Mengchan could no longer control herself. If she didn’t hear the conversation between her father and her uncle accidentally, she would ignore what Ye Wuchen was saying. But now, every word of his made her tremble

“I don’t want to tell you this. However, before you fulfill your promise, I might not do more than telling you where the sword is. Of course, you might as well think that all I’m trying to do is to destroy your relationship. You can think whatever you want.” Ye Wuchen smiled, he was still admiring her chest, it’s a comforting scene for him.

Shui Mengchan tried to calm herself down, she looked at Ye Wuchen for a while, then said, “it looks like what they’ve been saying is true, that you like to frighten people. I will find you when the timing is right.”

She turned around and shut the door quietly.

Ye Wuchen closed his eyes and murmured to himself, “for more than 20 years, she has been quietly paying for someone who had killed her father. Is there a more pathetic woman than her?” He bowed his head and held Ningxue tightly, “it’s late, go to sleep. Otherwise, you will only wake up tomorrow at noon.”

In the dark, Shui Mengchan heard him sigh. She went stiff and slightly bit her lips. She left without waking up anyone in the Ye family.

When she was gone far away, Ye Wuchen suddenly opened his eyes and smiled mystically. If he wasn’t worried to wake Ningxue and Tongxin, he might as well laugh out loud.
