Chapter 89: Persuading Ye Liuyun, One Sword Splits the Mountain
Chapter 89: Persuading Ye Liuyun, One Sword Splits the Mountain
Ye Liuyun remained hesitant.
"This world isn't just about Daqing; there's also Northern Qi. What are your plans for dealing with Ku He of Northern Qi? If they join forces, do you have a countermeasure?"
Fan Xian and Li Chengze remained silent; they hadn't really given much thought to the Northern Qi matter.
Because they never thought of it.
Fan Xian said uncertainly, "It's unlikely that Emperor Qing would join forces with Northern Qi!"
"With enough profit, nothing is impossible."
Fan Xian was now at a loss; he really didn't have any good solutions for dealing with Northern Qi.
Especially now that the Northern Qi is not bad, General Shangshan Hu has won over the hearts of the people, and Xiao En is also assisting them.
The little emperor Zhan Doudou is now quite spirited.
However, the worries of the three of them were no big deal to Ye Chengfeng.
"Well, you don't need to worry about Northern Qi. The young emperor of Northern Qi is on my side."
These three people are: one is a Grandmaster, one has combat power comparable to a Grandmaster, and the other is Fan Xian, who has a terrifying backing.
The three of them turned to look at Ye Chengfeng.
Ye Chengfeng paid no attention to the gazes of the three people, but the expectant look in Fan Ruoruo's eyes behind him was the one he couldn't bear the most.
When Ye Chengfeng was captured by Zhan Doudou, he was unconscious.
However, as a martial artist, Ye Chengfeng could still sense that his virginity had been broken.
"How can you be so sure that the young emperor of Northern Qi is willing to cooperate with you? Could it be that he's using you?"
When Fan Xian asked this question, Ye Chengfeng was not surprised at all, as he had also been in Northern Qi at that time.
Fan Xian knew something about the power struggle between Ye Chengfeng and the young emperor.
He knew that the two were using each other, but then Ye Chengfeng said that the young emperor of Northern Qi was trustworthy, which Fan Xian naturally couldn't understand.
Ye Chengfeng had a headache, rubbed his temples, and covered his face with a wry smile.
Turning to Fan Ruoruo, he said, "Ruoruo, could you prepare some desserts for us? We want to chat a little longer."
Fan Ruoruo, unsuspecting, turned and left to prepare dessert.
Only after seeing Fan Ruoruo walk away did Ye Chengfeng breathe a sigh of relief.
"Actually, the young emperor of Northern Qi was a woman."
"What?" Fan Xian and Li Chengzhu looked at Ye Chengfeng in disbelief.
Even Ye Liuyun, who was as steady as Mount Tai, had a strange expression at this moment.
This was even more shocking to Ye Liuyun than when Ye Chengfeng and the others said they knew that Emperor Qing was a Grandmaster.
Li Chengzhu was the first to react, saying with a strange expression, "You wouldn't happen to be having an affair with the young emperor of Northern Qi, would you?!"
Reminded by Li Chengzhu, Fan Xian finally understood. Even some of Ye Chengfeng's actions in Northern Qi that he hadn't understood at the time now made sense.
"You, you, how could you do this to my Ruoruo?"
"You think I wanted to? I was tricked by the little emperor!"
This is hardly a glorious thing to begin with. You can't exactly say that you were drugged by the young emperor and forced yourself on him!
Although the three people present had a general idea of what was going on, at least Ye Chengfeng had saved some face for himself.
"If that's the case, then I might consider helping you."
Ye Liuyun's decision to speak out was not what he wanted.
It was because they desperately needed to follow Emperor Qing, and had absolutely no chance of winning!
After carefully considering the energy possessed by Ye Chengfeng and his group, Ye Liuyun suddenly discovered a fact.
Even without his participation, Ye Chengfeng and his team were confident of victory, although some unexpected events might occur during the process.
With his addition, Emperor Qing had even less chance of turning the tide.
With three Grandmasters, plus Li Chengzhu and Ye Chengfeng, two young men who are incredibly close to becoming Grandmasters, their strength already overwhelms Emperor Qing.
With Wu Zhu lurking in the shadows, even if Fan Xian and his companions don't have any trump cards, it will be difficult for Emperor Qing to turn the tide.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation. However, before you leave, senior, you would like to have a match with me."
If Ye Liuyun leaves like this, Emperor Qing will definitely have some suspicions.
If Emperor Qing were to seek help from the temple, Ye Chengfeng feared that the temple would send its envoys to intervene again.
Although in the original story, the temple's robots were almost completely destroyed.
The one occupied by Li Chengzhu is likely the last movable robot in the temple.
But Ye Chengfeng dared not gamble, because there were more than just that one temple in the Arctic on Earth.
"You won't fool Emperor Qing like that; you underestimate him!"
Ye Liuyun wasn't the only one who thought this way; Fan Xian and Li Chengzhu shared the same idea.
Moreover, it wasn't just Ye Liuyun's problem; Emperor Qing never fully trusted Ye Liuyun to begin with.
At the same time, it's also because Ye Chengfeng and Li Chengzhu are both incredibly powerful, almost reaching the level of Grandmasters.
Emperor Qing will definitely find out about this battle, so their performance here is completely futile.
"No, no, no, you've all misjudged Emperor Qing. He might be wary of me and Old Li, but he won't be afraid."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
Li Chengzhu couldn't understand, so he asked casually.
"Because he thinks he's a god, so he's not afraid. Would a god be afraid of mortals?"
Ye Liuyun remained silent. As a Grandmaster, he had long suspected the thoughts of the other three Grandmasters.
Including himself, every grandmaster has an obsession with reaching the pinnacle.
Ye Liuyun's obsession is to be extremely emotional, while Ku He's obsession is to be in harmony with nature, and they walk the path of ruthlessness.
Si Gu Jian, on the other hand, was the epitome of madness.
Emperor Qing is the most unique, possessing an extreme ego and an extreme desire for control.
"Boy, is it because you've seen through this that you haven't broken through to the Grandmaster level?"
"No, you have too narrow a perspective. This world limits you, especially you, sir."
Ye Chengfeng said meaningfully.
"Too narrow-minded? You're just spouting nonsense!"
Ye Liuyun flicked his sleeve and rebuked the ship, then turned and left. However, as he left, he angrily cleaved a small hill on the riverbank with his sword.
It seemed as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction to Ye Chengfeng, and also as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction to Emperor Qing.
Although Ye Chengfeng was extremely disappointed that he could not fight Ye Liuyun again, this sword strike achieved the effect of fighting him again.
"The old man has quite a temper; too bad, I wanted to test my swordsmanship!"
This sword strike that cleaved a mountain is far more impressive than the sword strike that cleaved a building in the original story.
"So he didn't use his full strength when he fought me!"
Li Chengzhu was shocked, wondering if he could withstand Ye Liuyun's sword strike just now.
If it were Wu Zhu, he wouldn't have this worry, because Wu Zhu wouldn't be affected by the aura of a Grandmaster.
Li Chengzhu, however, is different. He does not possess the spiritual realm of a Grandmaster and would be suppressed by the aura of a Grandmaster.
"Do you now realize the gap between yourself and a Grandmaster?"
Ye Chengfeng looked at Li Chengzhu, trying to see through his heart.
This time, Ye Chengfeng actually noticed something amiss.
Ye Chengfeng realized that he had been looking at Li Chengzhu in the wrong direction all along.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, and Li Chengzhu's eyes clearly flickered a few times just now.
Even if he were a robot now, he couldn't hide it; it was an instinctive sign of guilt.
Li Chengzhu's subsequent actions further demonstrate that Ye Chengfeng's judgment was correct.
"Hmph, I'm leaving first!"
Li Chengzhu was equally fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
