Chapter 376: Chapter 375 Temporary Relief

Ye Fan imdiately said, "Brother Sheng Heng, you can’t force these kinds of things, or it will only backfire!"

"Don’t preach to !" Gongsun Shengheng said, annoyed.

Ye Fan knew he had to play his trump card. If he didn’t, Gongsun Shengheng would never back down.

So, he said, "You should know who the Fla Witch your Gongsun Family is tasked with guarding, right?"

Gongsun Shengheng nodded at once. He had co this ti specifically to pay his respects to the Witch. For a thousand years, it had been the Gongsun Family’s duty to guard Fla Valley and the Witch. Thus, every generation of Gongsun Family Martial Artists had to take on this responsibility without hesitation.

"Since you know, you shouldn’t have brought this up," Ye Fan said, "because the Fla Witch is my woman now!"

"What?"

Gongsun Shengheng was stunned. It was true, the Gongsun Ancestor had ntioned this before, saying the Fla Witch had rged with a mortal woman. He had dismissed it as a rumor and paid it no mind, but who would have thought it was actually true?

"Don’t ever ntion the matter between

and your sworn sister again. If you do and the Fla Witch throws a tantrum, no one can stop her. To be honest with you, she has

completely under her thumb right now!" Ye Fan said. "If I dare to resist, she’ll punish . You have no idea how explosive the Witch’s temper is. I’m helpless too, but what can I do?"

Ye Fan put on a pitiful, innocent act.

Gongsun Shengheng looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

He knew all too well how difficult life under a woman’s control could be. He never expected that the mighty King of Heaven, the formidable man who had killed two Sect Masters of the Mo Sect, would also have such an unhappy life behind the scenes.

For this reason, he said to Ye Fan, "Alright, since the Witch is involved, I can’t say much. However, when your relationship with my sister reaches a certain point, I hope you won’t refuse!"

"I certainly won’t!" Ye Fan imdiately responded.

But there probably won’t ever be such a day.

Gongsun Shengheng nodded. Still, this feels unreliable. I need to think of a solution.

The two continued drinking late into the night until they were both nearly drunk. Then, they each went their separate ways.

Later, Gongsun Shengheng arrived at the Gongsun Family’s villa in Jiangning.

Liu Ruyan approached him, full of expectation. "Brother, did he agree?"

But Gongsun Shengheng was dejected. He had made his promise with such confidence, but now he was completely deflated. He said guiltily, "Sister, I’m sorry. I couldn’t help you!"

"Why? You promised !" Liu Ruyan imdiately burst into tears.

Gongsun Shengheng had no choice but to tell her about the Witch. He explained that if he went against the Fla Witch’s wishes, being expelled from the family by the Gongsun Ancestor would be a light punishnt.

"Brother, I know you tried your best," Liu Ruyan said. "It’s my fault for not being strong enough. If I were more powerful, I wouldn’t have to worry about pleasing your Witch."

"You can say that to , but never say it in front of the Gongsun Ancestor or the Witch. Otherwise, you’ll be in grave danger!" Gongsun Shengheng quickly warned.

"I understand!" Liu Ruyan promised.

Then, Gongsun Shengheng told her, "Sister, you can’t force matters of the heart. Or perhaps, the timing just isn’t right for you two. If you force your way in, you’ll only end up hurting yourself!"

Isn’t my own sister, Gongsun Linglong, the sa way?

Liu Ruyan felt a warmth spread through her. Honestly, I was planning to use him, but now I feel so guilty. This brother, even if he’s unreliable, is too good to .

She had never experienced such warmth in the Liu Family. Her brothers and sisters lived in a world of constant sches and deception. Everyone was vying for power and profit; incidents of kin turning on each other were not uncommon.

Therefore, she apologized to Gongsun Shengheng. "Brother, I shouldn’t have pressured you. I was wrong."

"It’s okay. I’m willing to do it because you’re my most beloved sister!" Gongsun Shengheng said, gratified.

He then said to Liu Ruyan, "After I go pay my respects to the Witch, I’ll take you back to see the Gongsun Family. I think my parents will be shocked when they see you!"

"Mhm! Thank you, Brother!"

Liu Ruyan was filled with happiness. She now had a family and a man she cherished. As for the Liu Family, she had no desire to go back. If she did, her fate would surely be tragic. She had already lost all hope for them. The war between the King of Heaven and the Mo Sect was imminent. When it ca, the Liu Family’s dream of aligning with the Mo Sect would be shattered into nothing.

With this in mind, Liu Ruyan decided to wait until after the war was over to return. Maybe things will be different by then.

「The next day」

Gongsun Shengheng ca to pay his respects to the Fla Witch. Every heir of the Gongsun Family had to et the Witch to show their respect.

Led by Gongsun Chou, he arrived at the villa.

Upon seeing Su Qingxue, Gongsun Shengheng was shocked. The title of Fla Witch is no empty na. Setting aside her beauty, her aura alone was so oppressive that it made him break out in a cold sweat. He finally understood why Ye Fan was kept under Su Qingxue’s thumb.

Faced with such a domineering presence, Gongsun Shengheng didn’t even dare to look up at her.

"What are you waiting for? Pay your respects to the Witch!" Gongsun Chou chided.

"Yes!"

Just as Gongsun Shengheng was about to kneel, Su Qingxue said, "There’s no need. You don’t have to kneel to . Those outdated rituals should be abolished!"

"Yes!" Gongsun Chou quickly nodded in agreent.

Then, Gongsun Chou said to Su Qingxue, "Witch, this is the new heir of our Gongsun Family. Although his talent is a bit lacking, he will certainly do his utmost to protect you!"

"It doesn’t matter," Su Qingxue said. "If his strength is lacking, you can take him to Fla Valley to train."

"Thank you, Witch, for this opportunity!" Gongsun Shengheng said quickly.

At the sa ti, both the Gongsun Ancestor and Gongsun Chou breathed a sigh of relief. It seems the Witch hasn’t given up on the Gongsun Family.

As for Su Qingxue, she had always been a master strategist. After all, she was once an "ice queen" CEO and naturally knew how to manage her subordinates. This was even more true now that she had inherited the Fla Witch’s power, and she sotis found herself adopting the Witch’s even more domineering personality.

Gongsun Shengheng and the others took Liu Ruyan back to the Gongsun Family.

When Ye Fan saw the spoiled girl being led away, he breathed a massive sigh of relief. Finally free!

anwhile, the Heavenly King Hall had been investigating the Mo Sect. At that mont, Tiancan received a ssage and hurried to find Ye Fan. "Leader, Senior Nangong conducted a deep investigation of the Mo Sect. He found that the poison gas barrier on their periphery is a major problem right now!"

"Oh?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

Tiancan explained, "The poison gas on the outskirts of the Mo Sect relies on a fog barrier to linger. This season, the air is extrely humid, causing fog to form every day. If our Heavenly King Hall tries to storm the Mo Sect Headquarters, many of our brothers could die!"
