Chapter 1184: Chapter 1170: Cursing Awake Chapter 1184: Chapter 1170: Cursing Awake He felt like an old man, guarding a large yard all alone with no interests, and he realized that he didn’t enjoy solitude; it would be better to find soone to chat and drink with.
Having stayed in the yard on Immortal dicine Island for six or seven days already, he would go mad if it continued like this. No matter what, he had to go out for a walk tonight.
He thought of the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit. Right, why hadn’t those two co to see him? Had they really found partners and forgotten about him? Otherwise, why would this happen?
He had heard quite a few rumors that the two had changed their nas. They changed their nas without even telling him, and he was kept in the dark. It seed they had truly forgotten about him.
Alas, what could he do? It was self-inflicted, and that’s just reality. Who couldn’t live without whom? Loneliness was the only constant.
Li Mo ca in with food.
At last, soone brought him food, or else he would have thought he was the only one in the yard.
“I can’t believe Nangong Yao would send you to deliver my food. Why is he so cruel? Not even sending a maid, as if he’s afraid I’d take liberties with his maids. Do I really look that much of a scoundrel?” Ye Chen grumbled.
Li Mo laughed, opened the basket, revealing roast duck, sweet and sour carp, chicken stewed with mushrooms, atball tofu soup, so mustard greens, and a bowl of white rice. It was a very nourishing al indeed.
“Nangong Yan said she’s worried it would distract your attention. If you get enthralled by feminine charms, it could harm you. So, it’s best not to be around won for a while.”
Ye Chen sniffled and said, “I knew it was that wily girl’s idea. Only her petty mind could co up with such a thing. I’m fed up with her. And to forbid from seeing won, then how co she always cos over herself?”
Li Mo giggled and said, “But this period is indeed crucial; you really do need to focus.”
“Don’t I know whether I need to concentrate?” Ye Chen started eating. The food was indeed delicious, incomparable to what the inns offered. It seed to be made with care. The dishes weren’t many and the nas were holy, yet they made one’s mouth water, leaving him stuffed after every al.
“How’s your research going?” Li Mo wanted to know his progress; the faster Ye Chen could defeat Qiandu Xiang, the sooner they could destroy the ring. The letter had been sent back, lessening the entanglent, but the destruction of the ring seed indefinitely delayed.
“Such tasks are never easy. Now I know why Nangong Yao doesn’t research it himself. It’s brain-draining work. Instead of spending ti with a lady chatting, I thought it was sothing good. I must be too dumb.” As Ye Chen ate, he complained, “No, I have to go out for a walk tonight no matter what.”
“Then I’ll tell Nangong Yan and Ouyang Yue.”
“Are you stupid? If you tell them, I won’t be able to go drink at the flower houses.”
“You want to go to the flower houses?”
“Of course, I’ve never had flower wine in my life. Who knows when I’ll pass away? If I leave like this, wouldn’t it be too regrettable? I can’t leave regrets; I need to let myself go.”
Li Mo looked at Ye Chen and felt he beca as frivolous as he used to be.
“Don’t secretly tell them, or I’ll stop trusting you in the future. After dinner, get the handsost outfit—you too should seek freedom.”
“Alright, you are my Sect Leader; how could I refuse?”
Suddenly, Ye Chen grew serious and asked, “You definitely wrote to Guo Yuqing again, didn’t you?”
Li Mo didn’t speak, clearly confirming by his silence.
Ye Chen nodded and said, “That’s fine then. Let her give up; it’s better than being ambiguous and making everyone suffer.” Despite his words, he couldn’t help but hope for a positive turn of events, yet there was nothing he could do.
Li Mo sat down next to him.
“Join for the al,” he said, breaking off a roast chicken leg and handing it to him.
“Don’t you want to know how Guo Yuyun is doing?” Li Mo took the chicken leg.
“What happened to her?”
Seizing the opportunity, Li Mo said, “She t a boy nad Song Xizhi, the son of Song Zheng’an, the Sect Leader of the Nine Leaves Sect. He saved Guo Yuyun’s life. After learning of your death, Guo Yuyun tried to drown her sorrows in alcohol and almost got assaulted. Song Xizhi saved her. He was smitten with Guo Yuyun from first sight and has been pursuing her ever since.”
Ye Chen rely grunted and said, “That’s good. I’ve t the guy. He’s honest and handso too. Very good.” But inwardly, he didn’t feel that way at all.
Li Mo, knowing he was lying, said, “Do you really think so?”
“Of course. His family background is good too, and he’s more sedate than I am. He’s made for the dostic life.” Ye Chen quickly changed the subject and asked, “How are those two getting along? Are they talking marriage yet?” He pretended not to care, as he had his own issues to deal with.
Li Mo replied, “Apart from Guo Yuqing, everyone thinks you’re dead. Guo Yuyun’s mother is pressuring her to et suitors. Having no choice, she invited Song Xizhi over as a shield and is trying to accept him.”
“Good, now I can rest easy.”
“You’re relieved?”
Munching on the chicken leg, Ye Chen said, “Certainly. It shows that my decision was right. If she can find soone good for her, of course I’m happy. I can’t give her the happiness she wants.”
“But nobody knows your actual situation.”
“Yes, the fact that she was able to move on and start a new life is sothing to be happy about.” He seed to have resigned himself to the situation.
“What if you get better in the future?” Li Mo asked in return.
“I should just live life properly, what else can I do? It’s still uncertain whether I can really get better.”
“Are you being sarcastic?”
“What sarcasm? I’m speaking human words, realistic words.”
“I know she’s still in your heart, you just won’t admit it. You’re unhappy that she found soone else so quickly.”
Ye Chen shook his head and said, “Nonsense, why wouldn’t I be happy? I’m very happy.” He was obviously getting angry.
“You can’t bla Yu Yun, she thought you were dead, and so much ti has passed. Do you expect soone to wait for you for years? Besides, she was forced by her mother, she had no choice.”
Li Mo continued, “The bla should be on you, for lying about being dead. When people think you’re dead, of course they’ll move on and find soone new.”
His words stabbed at Ye Chen’s heart, leaving him speechless.
“Otherwise, just tell her you’re still alive.”
“Hey, you better not ss around, I’m warning you.” Ye Chen beca anxious again.
“Then don’t bla others for finding soone else.” Li Mo sounded sowhat sympathetic towards Guo Yuyun.
“Fine, don’t bla her, bla myself, I brought this upon myself. It’s only right that she finds soone new and lives a good life. What’s the point of following , soone who only knows about today and not tomorrow?” Ye Chen suddenly fell silent.
“Good that you understand.”
“Are they talking about marriage?” Ye Chen still couldn’t help but ask.
“Yu Yun still can’t let go of you. Letting go of soone is not that easy, except for you.”
“What do you an ‘except for ’?”
“Do I need to say it? Upon arriving at the Thirty-Six Islands, you completely forgot about everything back in the Central Plains, including all the people. And you have the nerve to bla others for finding soone new. You’re the one with the thick face.”
Ye Chen raised his voice, “What’s that supposed to an? Are you saying I’m fooling around here?”
“I wouldn’t dare say that about you.”
“That’s what you’re thinking. I’ve done none of what you said, fooling around. Everything I’ve done was for the Sacred Spirit Stone. I approached Nangong Yan for the Sacred Spirit Stone, and I made it very clear to her that I was already taken, asking her to stay away from .”
“No need to be anxious, I was just speaking offhand.” Li Mo seed to think that by poking like this, he could shake the mountain and shock the tiger.
“I can’t believe you’ve beco so formidable.”
Li Mo smiled and said, “I just want to say that you need to be understanding and not place the bla entirely on soone else. Think about your own issues.”
“Alright, I’ve heard enough. Have you got my clothes ready, or shall we continue this over a al?” Aside from getting angry, he seed to have no other recourse.
“Don’t take your anger out on , I have nothing to do with this.” Li Mo stood up, ready to leave.
Ye Chen was dumbfounded and shouted, “Pick out the best-looking one, and don’t you try to shirk the job.”
Li Mo coldly replied, “Ha, we’ll see if we can find one, and you want the best-looking one at that.” He continued on outside.
Once again, Ye Chen was left alone. He sat there, staring at the food on the table, his mood greatly affected by Li Mo’s words, which left him feeling utterly disgraced.
Right, everyone thought he was dead, could he really expect soone to remain widowed for life? How could he be so wicked? The most unreasonable thing was that he indeed had not found a solution yet—if he was truly dood to fall into demonic possession, how could he inflict such misfortune on soone else?
Yes, the most to bla was himself. He couldn’t bla anyone else. Perhaps it was a good thing, at least the other person was living well, not dying of grief, and hadn’t beco so disillusioned with the world to renounce it and beco a monk.
Song Xizhi? He thought about it seriously and then he rembered—a quiet boy who didn’t talk much and liked to follow his father around. That’s great, suitable for that she-monkey.
At least it would only be the she-monkey bullying him.
That’s actually not so bad. How could he be like a complaining widow, blaming others? Does he have no sha?
His temper had definitely worsened lately; otherwise, why would he beco so irritable? Damn it, it must be because of this accursed place. Otherwise, how could he possibly have beco so irritable?
Everyone’s doing well enough. This way, he has fewer burdens on his mind, preventing him from feeling guilty just for glancing at a girl on the street, feeling like he’s committing a cri. It’s better this way, not bad at all.
