Super God Grandmaster

Chapter 28: Chapter 25: Inferiority Complex · Acting_2 Chapter 28: Chapter 25: Inferiority Complex · Acting_2 Yu Qing finally began to calm herself, regaining her composure.

As soon as she entered, she encountered Bi Chun and asked, “Is Shizi awake yet?”

“Hmm, she is awake and was planning to go look for you.”

“No need, I am going to see her.”

Yu Qing found Shizi and shared her thoughts. When Jiang Shizi heard, she agreed to accompany Yu Qing to visit a girl named Lan.

“Why do you suddenly want to see my girl?” Shizi curiously asked.

“It’s because of me that this happened. I should go see her, they said her injury was serious.”

“It’s nothing serious, just a small scratch, don’t worry about it.”

“Whether it’s a small scratch or not, it’s because of me. I need to see her.”

“Alright, damned Zhan Ze really went too far this time, throwing fireworks straight into the courtyard. If it had landed on someone’s head and ignited, it would’ve been an even bigger problem. What reckless people.”

“Hey, don’t say more.” Yu Qing was still full of guilt.

Seeing this, Shizi laughed and said, “Don’t think too much about it. Incidents happen often in Immortal City. We have played this way ourselves.”

Yu Qing became a bit more serious.

Shizi called out: “Bi Chun, prepare dinner quickly. After having dinner, we need to go see someone.”

Bi Chun acknowledged and went off to prepare dinner.

Shizi saw Yu Qing, who seemed to be lost in her thoughts, and asked, “Did something else happen that I’m not aware of?”

Yu Qing raised her head and said, “No.”

“It doesn’t look like it.”

“What are you suggesting?”

“Did something unpleasant happen? Remember to tell me, we are sisters. I will always be with you. I may not know what happens in the Demon Palace, but in Immortal City, I will stand by you no matter what happens. I will always help you.”

These words were very touching, especially for her who had been feeling helpless and lacked love for a long time. Though her father loved her, he was often busy and barely had time for her. So, whatever happened, she had to handle it by herself.

She had been walking this path for so long, and it was made even more difficult by her despised stepmother.

Ye Chen reflected on whether his words were too sharp and hard to accept. Indeed, they were quite pointed, and it was natural for others to feel uncomfortable. No wonder they had called him a country bumpkin.

Upon entering the courtyard, his mother was already preparing dinner. Seeing him return, she threw out a remark, “You deigned to come back for dinner. I thought you were not planning to return and had found a wife outside, and didn’t want to leave her.”

“How could you say that? This is my home, of course, I will come back for dinner. If I find a wife, I will bring her home to take care of you.”

“I thought once you found something fun, you would forget about everything else, even coming home. Once you have a wife, you can leave your mother behind.” Ye Xue said.

Ye Chen chuckled, walked over and said, “Me? I am just a herdsman. Who in the Immortal City would even look at a country bumpkin like me? I am nothing!”

“Ha-ha, do you blame me for your lowly status? If you are capable, prove yourself. In a few days, there’s a big martial arts competition. Go and fight, strive for your glory, and the honor you desire.”

“Ha-ha, so you want to watch your son be beat to death on the martial arts stage?”

“Don’t say I didn’t give you the opportunity. The opportunity is right in front of you, if you’re capable, go for it.”

“Rest assured, give me a year. Next year, I will make them never dare to look down on this country bumpkin or call me a country bumpkin again.” Seemingly stimulated by what Yu Qing said earlier, he felt that he needed to prove himself. Now he was trying to finish the book He Weng gave him as quickly as possible.

“You are not going wash your hands, are you?”

“I’ve washed my hands,” Ye Chen continued, “You don’t need to make breakfast for me tomorrow morning.”

“What do you mean, is my breakfast not tasty enough? Have you found a young woman to cook for you?”

“That’s not what I meant. Early tomorrow morning, Zhan Ze and I are going mountain climbing. We have prepared our own food so we won’t be eating breakfast at home.”

“Mountain climbing, are you going to find ghosts in the mountains!”

“I don’t know about that, but everyone was saying they’re going, so I’m going.”

“I see you can now completely cover for each other.” Ye Xue continued, “I heard that two days ago, Zhan Ze injured a girl with fireworks. Did this really happen and did you participate?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was startled. He hadn’t expected the news to reach his mother so quickly, so he hurriedly replied, “No, I didn’t. I would never use fireworks to hurt someone’s daughter.”

Ye Xue glared at him.

“Believe me, it’s true. I didn’t. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare.” Ye Chen said with his head lowered.

“I’m telling you, refrain from stirring up trouble. You are a grown man now. If something happens, you need to take responsibility.” She knew her son was mischievous, but she also knew he would not do something like that.

Ye Chen held his head low with a bowl of rice. He gnawed away at the rice as if he was a rat gnawing through a hole.

“Ye Xue said, “In the future, Zhan Ze may be the leader of a faction in the Immortal City, regardless of his capability. Whereas you, if you don’t fit in here, you may have to return to the countryside to be a farmer. That’s all I wanted to say. You must decide on your own path.”

“I know, they belong to three generations of Sect Leaders, while I belong to a family of country bumpkins.”

Ye Xue liked provoking him in such a way, always using reverse psychology.

“I’ve secured these opportunities for you. It’s up to you to choose your own path. If anything happens, take responsibility yourself.”

Yu Qing and Shizi went to see the injured girl, returning home as dusk approached.

“Now, you can finally rest easy, right? I told you it wasn’t a big deal, but you didn’t believe me.”

Yu Qing didn’t respond, just continued to contemplate her thoughts.

“Well, having said that, we were deceptively lucky this time. You really should be more careful. Zhan Ze would do anything for you.”

“What are you insinuating? I didn’t ask him to do that!”

“What I’m hinting at is, if you were to choose between the two of them, it may alleviate some conflict.”

“Are you suggesting I should choose Zhan Ze?”

“Those are your words, not mine. Zhan Ze is a quite nice though.”

“But that doesn’t mean I have to be with him. He is still a child and acts without considering the consequences.” It seemed like Qing’er was blaming Young Master Ze, finding him immature.

“Could it be… that you truly plan to choose Hao Yu? He really is the worst.” Shizi remarked.

Hearing this, Yu Qing fell silent and continued walking forwards. That was not what she meant.

“If not, you should break things off with Hao Yu and stop keeping in touch.”

Yu Qing understood Shizi’s meaning. Indeed, if she stopped contacting Hao Yu, it wouldn’t provoke Zhan Ze. However, it would also mean a lack of freedom.

“We are going to climb the mountain tomorrow. I need to have a good rest tonight. Otherwise, I will be listless tomorrow, and I don’t want to roll down into a ditch.” Shizi said.

“It would be better if you did roll down.”

“Why are you so mean?”

“You deserve to be half-paralyzed.”

“You’re too cruel.”

Yu Qing chuckled as she thought about something.

“Hey, stop thinking about it! Don’t burden yourself so much, it’s just a small matter.”
