Free Web NovelChapter 1415: Chapter 475: The Exposed Confession
After this incident, Ye Lingyue had become a thorn in the eyes of City Lord Ma and Master Chen.
"Master Chen, I can’t handle this matter either. You know, it wasn’t someone else who came forward and talked about the miraculous effects of Huangquan Water this time, but it was Hall Master Fu."
City Lord Ma replied grumpily.
In Xuanwu City, the longstanding authority besides the City Lord’s Mansion was only the Jiu Provinces Hall.
And among the two prominent Hall Masters of the Jiu Provinces Hall, although Master Chen seemed to wield more power, in reality, as long as Old Man Fu was around, Master Chen couldn’t do as he pleased.
"That old man again, Fu Sanshi is just like a broken stone in a cesspool, foul and hard. But if Old Man Fu endorses something, then it must indeed be good stuff. City Lord Ma, haven’t you been tempted?"
Master Chen sneered, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes.
The Huangquan Water, which could enhance the chance of comprehending Divine Power Skills, was such a valuable thing; if one could control it, it would mean endless wealth.
"Let’s not beat around the bush. Master Chen, haven’t your people already infiltrated Huangquan City?"
City Lord Ma chuckled.
"So the City Lord is on the same page as I am. Why don’t we make an agreement? If we indeed find the location of the spring of Huangquan Water, we should join forces..."
Master Chen made a throat-slitting gesture.
City Lord Ma knowingly smiled.
"Master Chen’s thoughts align with mine. When we find the spring of Huangquan Water, we will join forces and clean up the disobedient trash City Lord at the Jiu Provinces Hunting. At that time, we each will take half the ownership of the Huangquan Water."
It turned out that the cunning old foxes, Chen and Ma, were unwilling to sit idly by as Huangquan City grew stronger. They had each dispatched people under the guise of immigrants to infiltrate Huangquan City.
Fu Sanshi had said that Huangquan Water was a natural spring, while Ye Lingyue had said that Huangquan Water was only found in Huangquan City. Indeed, in recent days, a lot of Huangquan Water had appeared in Huangquan City. As long as they checked carefully and found the location of the spring, how could they let the Huangquan Water slip away?
Thinking of this, the two exchanged glances and laughed sinisterly, inwardly pleased.
"That little girl Ye is truly foolish. Gather treasure and it becomes a curse; to reveal a Five Spirits Object like Huangquan Water is just asking for death."
Ye Lingyue, who was discussing new immigrant issues with Jia Fugui at the "Jia Tianxia" Chamber of Commerce, felt her ears itching inexplicably.
"Divine Doctor, you really must heed what I’ve just said. Right now, there are too many immigrants in Huangquan City, and some with malicious intent may move in. They’ll definitely search everywhere for the spring of Huangquan Water. In my humble opinion, you must heavily guard and protect the spring."
Ever since that day when he was humiliated by City Lord Ma and his chamber of commerce suffered significant losses, Jia Fugui had become disillusioned with Xuanwu City.
He had decided to relocate his chamber of commerce and family to Huangquan City. However, before leaving, he was still a bit uneasy, so he specifically came to remind Ye Lingyue.
"I have my own measures for this."
Ye Lingyue casually dismissed his concerns, secretly amused.
After she announced that Huangquan City was the exclusive supplier of Huangquan Water, she warned Aguduo and others that many people would "frequent" the City Lord’s Mansion.
There’s no need for the City Lord’s Mansion to be overly cautious of those people.
Those people are obviously those with malicious intent towards Huangquan Water. If they can’t find the spring’s location within the City Lord’s Mansion, they would start digging even beyond Huangquan City searching for it, but sadly, they’ll never find anything.
Simply because, the so-called "spring" of the Huangquan Water isn’t elsewhere but in her Hong Meng Heaven.
Who would have thought that so much Huangquan Water was actually on her?
Of course, Ye Lingyue would never share this secret with anyone else.
After spending some time at the "Jia Tianxia" Chamber of Commerce, Ye Lingyue got up and returned to the inn. She hadn’t forgotten that tomorrow was the tenth day, according to the agreement with Gong Linxin, she would gain access to the Divine Power Pool.
As Ye Lingyue arrived at the inn’s entrance, the sky had already darkened.
Under the dim light, the willow tree at the inn’s entrance swayed gently in the evening breeze, resembling a maiden’s long hair, adding a touch of allure to the night.
At that moment, Ye Lingyue heard some noise.
Someone emerged from the inn ahead.
Upon hearing the commotion, Ye Lingyue instinctively hid behind the willow tree.
"Bo Qing, why won’t you see me?"
Two people came rushing out of the inn.
One of them was the impatient-looking Bo Qing, and the other was Hong Yulang.
"Hong Yulang, I’m a man, I don’t like men."
Bo Qing’s handsome face was shadowed with impatience.
"I don’t care whether you’re a man or a woman, I just like you... the things you gave me, I have always kept them."
Hong Yulang looked at Bo Qing with infatuation. Even though he knew it was Bo Qing who had set him up that night, he still held deep affection for him.
When he found out Bo Qing was a man, Hong Yulang struggled inwardly for a moment, but he still couldn’t forget.
During their reunion at the Mercenary City, Bo Qing’s occasional kindness made Hong Yulang love him even more deeply, unable to extricate himself.
"How many times do I have to say this for you to understand? It’s my fault; I shouldn’t have used you as a substitute."
Bo Qing furrowed his brows. At the time, Bo Qing believed Ye Lingyue had been killed by the Ghost Emperor and was heartbroken, thus mistaking Hong Yulang, who bore some resemblance to Ling Yue, as a stand-in.
But he quickly realized that no one could replace Ye Lingyue, and decisively distanced himself from Hong Yulang.
True to his name, Bo Qing was extremely indifferent; he felt no guilt towards Hong Yulang.
"No, is it because of City Lord Ma that you despise me? Don’t worry, I’m only with him for a better future. I’ll soon be rid of him. Bo Qing, you need to wait for me."
Hong Yulang, as if ignoring Bo Qing’s words, stubbornly tried to grab Bo Qing.
Bo Qing’s expression turned icy, he swiftly moved and Hong Yulang grasped nothing but cold air.
"Filthy."
Bo Qing didn’t want to say more to Hong Yulang.
"You think I’m filthy? Bo Qing, how can you treat me like this? If you think I’m filthy, would you say the same if it were Ye Lingyue? What makes her better than me? First there was Prince Feng, then Wu Zhong, and now it’s that Di Shen. She’s practically everyone’s plaything."
Driven mad by jealousy, Hong Yulang spewed venomous words.
Suddenly, Hong Yulang felt a grip tightening on his neck, the offensive words caught in his throat.
Bo Qing’s hand tightened like an iron clamp. His eyes overflowing with fury, and just when Hong Yulang thought he was going to die, Bo Qing released his grip, stating a few words.
"As long as it’s her, I’ll want her."
