Chapter 115 – Husband Again (1/2)
“Of course not!” The woman said with a smile, “So long as you work together with me, then I’ll be able to make my nephew give up on dealing with us. It’s even to the extent that it wouldn’t be difficult to drag him down from his current position! After all, he isn’t the only one fighting for the throne!”
Yang Ye shook his head and refused. “I have things I need to do, and I’m truly unwilling to be swept into the whirlpool of your imperial household. As for that nephew of yours, he can do as he pleases.”
Yang Ye only wanted to improve his strength, partic.i.p.ate in the Ascension Rankings, seize the Ascension Token, and complete his agreement with Su Qings.h.i.+. As for anything else, he was truly not interested at all.
The woman sighed when she heard Yang Ye refuse. After a long time, she said, “Will you really not reconsider?”
Obviously, she was still slightly unwilling to give up.
Yang Ye shook his head and smiled. Actually, he’d almost been convinced by this woman. But he still refused in the end. It was still for the same reason. He was unable to trust this woman.
This woman had grown up in a place like the imperial palace, so her ability to trick and scheme was absolutely not something he could compare to.
If they worked together, and if the woman had other intentions or selfish motives, then he, Yang Ye, would definitely be used and betrayed by her.
So, even if a prince of the Grand Qin Empire and a prince of the Darkbeast Empire wanted to kill him, he still chose to refuse.
“Senior Sister Xiyue, is that really you?” Right when the woman intended to say something, a voice that carried pleasant surprise sounded out from the street on their right.
When he heard this, Yang Ye looked towards the source of the voice, and he saw two men and two women walking towards him and the woman. All four of them were around 20 years of age, the men were handsome while the women were beautiful. Especially the two women, even though their appearances couldn’t compare to the woman that stood by his side, they had unique charms of their own.
They walked over quickly to Yang Ye and the woman, and when the man in the lead saw the appearance of the woman by Yang Ye’s side, he didn’t conceal the pleasant surprise on his face at all. He said, “Senior Sister Xiyue, what are you doing at the Shang Dynasty Ruins? Could it be that you’ve come for the Tomb of Emperor Zhou?”
Xiyue? Yang Ye glanced at the woman. So, this woman’s name is Qin Xiyue. Since this man called her Senior Sister, then he’s probably a member of the renowned Imperial Academy of the Grand Qin Empire.
“You’re?” The woman frowned and asked. Since the man called her Senior Sister, then he was probably a member of the Imperial Academy. But she really didn’t recognize him.
A wisp of dejection flashed through the man’s eyes when he heard this. She really doesn’t remember me anymore.
He suppressed the dejection in his heart and revealed a smile as he said, “I’m Jun Lin, I once received guidance from Senior Sister in the academy. Senior Sister probably still has a slight impression of it, right?”
Xiyue thought for a moment before she revealed an expression of sudden realization. She said, “It’s you. I never expected that you’ve already attained the sixth rank of the First Heaven Realm. Not bad, you didn’t waste my breath!”
The man revealed a solemn expression before he bowed to Qin Xiyue, and then he said, “Jun Lin will never forget your kindness from that day.”
Qin Xiyue smiled and said, “There’s no need for that. You ought to be clearly aware that I’d provided you guidance merely for the sake of credit. Your current accomplishments are entirely owed to your own hard work.”
The man called Jun Lin smiled, and he stopped discussing this topic. He said, “Has Senior Sister come for the Tomb of Emperor Zhou? If you have, then we can go together.”
“The Tomb of Emperor Zhou?” Qin Xiyue asked. “What’s that?”
Yang Ye looked at the man called Jun Lin with slight curiosity as well. Of course, he was merely curious about the Tomb of Emperor Zhou.
“Senior Sister didn’t come here because of the tomb?” Jun Lin spoke with surprise.
Qin Xiyu shook her head and said, “My husband and I only came here by coincidence!”
“Husband!” When they heard this, all four of them were shocked, and then they looked at Yang Ye who stood by Qin Xiyue’s side. All of them immediately revealed strange expressions when they noticed that Yang Ye was merely at the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm. On the other hand, a wisp of a savage expression flashed in Jun Lin’s eyes, but he concealed it very well.
Yang Ye was shocked by Qin Xiyue as well. What’s this woman trying to do? Does she intend to use these few people to drag me down with her?
When he thought up to here, Yang Ye’s eyes narrowed. This woman intends to use me again!
After a short while, Jun Lin forced a smile onto his face and asked. “Senior Sister is married already?”
