"The entire Divine Alliance full of brothers."
Those words struck Ye Yu right where it counted.
Brothers were great.
The more, the better.
But one had to read between the lines.
Considering Wan Xiaoge's personality...
The conclusion was obvious.
Introducing him to "an entire Divine Alliance full of brothers" was just bait.
The real issue was the emergency.
Without a doubt, the man had abducted another Divine Alliance leader's partner.
Otherwise, there was no way an entire Divine Alliance would be after him.
Tsk, tsk.
Elder Wan... your character setting really is remarkably consistent.
From a moral standpoint, you're a terrible human being.
You deserve to be condemned by everyone.
Honestly, being stuffed into a pig cage and sunk in a river wouldn't be undeserved.
Even so, after thinking it over, Ye Yu still decided to return to Heavenly Mountain.
That didn't mean he approved of Wan Xiaoge's behavior.
The only reason he was going back was because he didn't want to see rivers of blood.
So, technically...
He was doing a good deed.
Thinking about it that way...
Yes.
That made it much easier to accept.
"An entire Divine Alliance full of brothers, here I come!"
Ye Yu happily set off for Heavenly Mountain.
Inside the main hall, Divine Alliance leader Xiao Pingchao and Elder Wan Xiaoge stood smiling as they quietly awaited Ye Yu's arrival.
Their attitude was as courteous and respectful as could be.
Ye Yu walked straight inside.
Less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense later—
The table in the hall was overturned.
Then Ye Yu stormed out, cursing loudly.
No matter how Wan Xiaoge pleaded, he refused to stop.
For Ye Yu to lose his composure so completely in such a short time...
The matter had to be unimaginably outrageous.
Outrageous enough that even Wan Xiaoge himself felt embarrassed.
In the end, Xiao Pingchao personally stepped in and dragged Ye Yu back into the hall.
"Fellow Cultivator Ye, let's talk this through. There's no need to leave."
Ye Yu immediately unleashed a torrent of colorful language.
Beside him, Wan Xiaoge wore an apologetic smile, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.
He couldn't.
This time, what he'd done really was shameless.
Even so, it did nothing to reduce Ye Yu's anger.
He immediately pointed at Wan Xiaoge and let him have it.
"A good horse doesn't graze the same patch of grass twice."
"But you?"
"You keep stripping the same patch bare!"
"Divine Alliance leader Tao Yang of the Shangqing Temple is a decent man. We've even gotten drunk together at his place before."
"The last time you stole his partner, he gave you every bit of face he could. You should've quietly counted yourself lucky."
"But what happened next?"
"A couple of days ago, Tao Yang finally found another partner."
"And before the ink was even dry, you stole this one too?"
"Seriously, if I were him..."
"There'd already be grass growing over your grave!"
"You said you'd introduce me to a whole Divine Alliance full of brothers?"
"Damn it, who in Shangqing Temple don't I already know?"
"This time you've committed a sin too great for heaven to forgive."
"I can't help you."
"Go pick out a nice cemetery plot and lie down to wait for death."
After finishing his tirade against Wan Xiaoge, Ye Yu turned toward Xiao Pingchao.
"And you, Divine Alliance leader."
"Why involve yourself in this mess?"
"How much dirt does Elder Wan have on you that you're willing to speak up for him like this?"
Xiao Pingchao answered weakly,
"Xiaoge said he'd help me win Feifei's heart."
"...Who?"
Ye Yu looked utterly baffled.
Xiao Pingchao immediately took a booklet out of his Storage Ring and showed Ye Yu a picture of the goddess Feifei.
The moment he saw it—
Ye Yu nearly died from sheer exasperation.
No wonder I'd gotten one of those photo albums from Xiao Pingchao before.
So he was the source of the problem!
Wonderful.
The Divine Alliance at Heavenly Mountain really is opening my eyes.
One of you likes collecting photographs.
The other specializes in stealing Divine Alliance leaders' partners.
The two of you are truly unmatched.
Rendered speechless, Ye Yu turned to leave once again.
Wan Xiaoge asked quietly,
"Fellow Cultivator Ye... is there really no way to salvage this?"
"Can't you think of some solution for me?"
Without slowing his steps, Ye Yu replied in a deep voice,
"Put yourself in Tao Yang's shoes."
"If you were him..."
"Could you forgive someone a second time?"
That single sentence completely silenced Wan Xiaoge.
For the first time, he realized he had created a disaster that could never be undone.
I really did bring this on myself...
After leaving Heavenly Mountain, Ye Yu planned to head toward the northern region of the God Realm.
Unexpectedly, after traveling barely a hundred miles, he ran into two familiar faces.
One was Gu Qinglan.
The other was Cao Angyang.
So they've finally figured things out?
Is he going to confess?
Just as Ye Yu was about to secretly listen in out of curiosity, Gu Qinglan noticed him.
She immediately waved him over.
Seeing that, Ye Yu frowned.
As far as he could remember, Gu Qinglan had never been this enthusiastic toward him before.
Whenever something seems strange... there's usually a catch.
Before he had time to think further, Gu Qinglan flashed to his side.
Then she transmitted her voice directly into his mind.
"Help me."
"This man confessed to me."
"I've already rejected him twice, but he refuses to give up."
"Pretend you're my partner."
Before Ye Yu could answer, Gu Qinglan turned to the approaching Cao Angyang and said softly,
"Fellow Cultivator... I'm sorry."
"But I still prefer men from the Demon Race."
"This is my partner."
"...Brother Ye."
Cao Angyang's voice was hoarse.
He had never imagined things would turn out like this.
Ye Yu's words from two months ago still echoed vividly in his mind.
It was precisely because of that advice that Cao Angyang had decided to strike first and confess to Gu Qinglan.
He didn't want to spend the rest of his life wondering what if.
Unfortunately...
Gu Qinglan had rejected him again and again.
So Cao Angyang immediately changed tactics and stubbornly continued pursuing her.
Sadly, that hadn't worked either.
What he never expected was for Gu Qinglan to tell him today that she already had a partner.
And that partner...
Was Ye Yu.
To be honest, it was almost impossible for him to accept.
Hearing the way Cao Angyang addressed Ye Yu, Gu Qinglan looked genuinely surprised.
"You two know each other?"
"We do."
"We met about two months ago, so—"
Before Ye Yu could finish speaking, Gu Qinglan immediately grabbed his right hand.
"Don't expose me."
"I'm begging you."
"Otherwise he'll just keep pestering me."
At that moment, Ye Yu fell silent.
Not because of Gu Qinglan's plea.
But because of the system notification.
Detected contact with Gu Qinglan, Demon God at the early Golden God Realm.
Reward: Luck +30.
