Chapter 7: The Self-important Du Guyun and the Frustrated Cang Lao!

Jiang Chen’s subordinates executed his orders well. Nobody caused trouble or deliberately suppressed Du Guyun. Du Guyun wasn’t ostracized for being brought in by Ye Qingcheng; instead, he was treated as an ordinary inner disciple.

Half a month passed without any significant events, and Du Guyun continued his cultivation in the Primordial Holy Land in a routine manner. This excessive calmness, however, seemed odd to Du Guyun and made him uncomfortably suspicious.

“Master, I don’t know why, but I always feel something’s off,” Du Guyun silently communicated to his master.

“What seems off to you?” Cang Lao was puzzled. Wasn’t this peaceful cultivation environment ideal?

“I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it just feels too peaceful. Isn’t it widely rumored that the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land adores Ye Qingcheng? Normally, any man associated with Ye Qingcheng would face rejection from the Holy Son’s side.”

“I was brought in by Ye Qingcheng and should have a decent relationship with her, so shouldn’t the Holy Son be opposing me? But half a month has passed, and there’s been no suppression or rejection. This feels very strange to me, quite unsettling,” Du Guyun explained, frowning.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

He even felt as if something very important had disappeared, causing an inexplicable irritation as if something had drifted away from him for some special reason, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Cang Lao chuckled dryly, “You’re overthinking it. Think about it from the Holy Son’s perspective. If you heard that Ye Qingcheng brought in an ordinary disciple without exceptional talent or strength, would you care? To someone at his level, ordinary disciples are like ants. Would you bother about an ordinary ant?”

Cang Lao thought Du Guyun had a masochistic tendency. While others would prefer friendly relations, Du Guyun actually expected rejection and suppression, which seemed rather bizarre.

Cang Lao’s voice halted, and his expression changed, cursing inwardly. Always comparing! What did Du Guyun have to compare with Jiang Chen? If there was a real choice, anyone with a brain would pick Jiang Chen.

Choosing Jiang Chen meant Cang Lao could immediately reconstruct his physical body; why would he need to suffer alongside Du Guyun?

Cang Lao was exasperated. Du Guyun seemed to have no self-awareness. Maybe in the future, but right now, he had nothing to compare with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen outclassed Du Guyun in every aspect. Without divine vision, anyone with a bit of sense would choose Jiang Chen.

Cang Lao had said that the first one to reach the finish line would be successful, but he didn’t mention that for many, someone else’s starting point was their endpoint. Of course, some people do surpass those with higher starting points, but they are rare.

“Of course, I would choose you,” Cang Lao said, despite his internal tirade, trying to boost Du Guyun’s confidence. After all, he had no choice.

“Don’t worry, Master, I will definitely surpass Jiang Chen!” Du Guyun, reassured by Cang Lao’s response, felt an endless surge of power within him, his fighting spirit soaring.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingcheng was also paying attention to Jiang Chen’s actions, especially after Du Guyun joined the Primordial Holy Land. She wanted to see if Jiang Chen would take any action.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen completely ignored Du Guyun and even her. For half a month, Jiang Chen never appeared before Ye Qingcheng, as if he had forgotten her entirely.

This made Ye Qingcheng quite uncomfortable. Jiang Chen used to appear before her every few days, which annoyed her. Now that he was absent, she found herself oddly unsettled.
