The truth
Yang Jian wasn't sure if the Great Sage had been cuckolded or not.
Everything was just his conjecture. Furthermore, with his usual conflicts with the Great Sage, he really didn't think in a good way.
Regardless of the reason for his madness, he was actually alone. If he really wanted to suppress the Great Sage, he would naturally have a chance. However, he would definitely injure the monkey due to his lack of control over his strength.
He definitely hated the monkey, but Yang Jian didn't want to hurt him.
All he could do now was wait for Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan to arrive. If he and Pu Jingwan joined forces, their chances of suppressing the Great Sage would be even higher.
At that time, regardless of whether he was cuckolded or because of other reasons, he would slowly console himself.
When Ye Zichen found out that Yang Jian's situation was urgent, he put his phone back into his pocket with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong? The video I saw just now seemed to be your friend getting angry."
"Let's head to the Yao Realm right now," said Ye Zichen solemnly. Pu Jingwan nodded. "Then are we just going to ignore them?"
Back in the tavern, Murong Xue and the others had been acting very strangely. He didn't understand why Anti-Upheaval's brothers hadn't come.
However, Ye Zichen was keenly aware that, given Murong Xue's relationship with Xue Mo, they weren't trying to isolate Anti-Upheaval, target them, or harm them.
If they really wanted to do that, they wouldn't have dragged him here to drink.
Perhaps he really was just overthinking things. Perhaps these people just wanted to drink with him. Perhaps Anti-Upheaval's brothers really were tired and had gone to rest. It was entirely possible.
It wasn't just Pang Zheng and Di Long. Murong Xue and Jiang Yong were there as well.
The two of them would never harm Xue Mo.
For some reason, Ye Zichen thought of a possibility.
After mulling it over for a while, Ye Zichen decided that the Great Sage's situation was more urgent. At the very least, the Great Sage's reaction was more direct.
"Whatever."
Pu Jingwan said, her face dark. Pu Jingwan removed the restrictions around them.
They didn't know why, but when they saw Ye Zichen's solemn expression, their faces darkened as well. Murong Xue asked tentatively as soon as the restriction disappeared.
"Brother Zichen, did something happen?"
"Are you guys hiding something from me?" asked Ye Zichen.
"How could that be? We're brothers! How could we possibly hide anything from you?" Jiang Yong laughed. "We just saw that you didn't look too good and wanted to show some concern."
"You guys are weird."
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes, but a faint light still shone through them.
Those who were stared at by this gaze subconsciously turned their heads away. Some were minding their own business, and some were staring at the ceiling and floor of the tavern. In short, they looked very uncomfortable.
"As expected." When he saw their expressions, Ye Zichen smiled calmly. "Our Anti-Upheaval Society was eliminated, right? But your societies advanced, so we're here to celebrate. Sorry to invite Xue Mo and the others."
Everyone's expressions changed. Jiang Yong smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Yes, Brother Ye is indeed an understanding person."
As expected!
That was a possibility that Ye Zichen suddenly thought of. There naturally had to be a winner in this sort of battle of geniuses.
After losing him, Anti-Upheaval's overall strength was far inferior to the other student societies. In a battle of geniuses like this, there was a high chance they'd be eliminated.
Even Li Hu wouldn't be so thick-skinned as to attend a celebratory banquet for the victors.
"Haha, look at you guys. Did you have to go so far behind my back for something so trivial? You even got me drunk and didn't want me to go back? You're worried that if I find out, I'll hug them and cry."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh bitterly. "Don't take it to heart. Our Anti-Upheaval really is the weakest of all the student societies, and I wasn't there either. It's all my fault. When you go back, help me comfort Xue Mo and the others. Don't take it too seriously. They were eliminated, but you guys are still here, right? "
"Brother Ye, you're not going back?" asked Pang Zheng.
"I can't. I have to hurry to the Yao Realm. I'm on my way right now. You guys just keep drinking and don't worry about me. When you get back, you have to comfort them for me, especially Murong Xue. You're on good terms with Xue Mo, so help her talk some sense into it. When I get back, I'll make it up to them. "
With that, he glanced meaningfully at Pu Jingwan, and the two of them vanished from the tavern like a gust of wind.
The group leaders in the tavern walked to the door and watched as the two of them left. Then, they sighed and returned to their seats.
"We're pretty lucky, aren't we? Even if we got him drunk, we'd at most delay him for a few days. He suddenly has to go to the Yao Realm, and it'll take him at least half a month to go back and forth, "said Di Long, rubbing his wineglass.
"That's right." Pang Zheng nodded.
"At least we don't have to waste any more time in this tavern," sighed Xu Lei.
Had they really come here to celebrate?
Of course not!
In truth, Ye Zichen didn't know that they'd set up camp in the tavern three days ago. They'd stayed here from morning to night, because this was the only way to the Divine Martial School, and they'd set up camp here ….
All for the sake of stopping Ye Zichen and preventing him from entering the Divine Martial School.
"Is this really alright?" Xu Chao had drunk quite a bit of Immortal Intoxication, and his face was flushed. His eyes brimmed with confusion. "Even if we stop him like this, how long can we possibly hold him off? Brother Ye will find out sooner or later."
"Every minute counts. Every second counts. Given his relationship with Xue Mo, what do you think he'll do if he finds out? "Jiang Yong slapped the table and shouted.
"What's the point of dragging things out like this? He'll find out sooner or later. You don't need to yell at me. I'm just telling you rationally that there's no point in dragging things out. What are you yelling for? "roared Xu Chao.
"What are you two doing?" Pang Zheng stepped between them. "Don't get too worked up. Right now, all we need to do is wait for Xue Mo to wake up. So long as she wakes up, Brother Ye will find out. I think Jiang Yong's right. Every minute we delay gives Xue Mo more time to wake up. Let's stall for as long as we can! "
"It's all my fault."
Suddenly, Murong Xue threw her arms around her shoulders and burst into tears.
"If I'd held on a little longer and met up with Xue Mo, we could've worked together and she wouldn't have ended up like that. Or if I'd been there and sensed danger, I would've told her to forfeit instead of fighting the entire match. It's all my fault, all my fault …. "
Everyone in the tavern fell silent. Jiang Yong pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
"How is this your fault? If we were strong enough, we wouldn't have just watched Xue Mo suffer like that, and we wouldn't have let that guy leave so arrogantly."
