Chapter 181: You Came at the Perfect Time!

Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Ye Chen’s cold expression finally disappeared. The VCR naturally could not continue playing. If it kept going, it would turn into a confession video.

Honestly, there wouldn’t have been much of a problem if things hadn’t gone this way. Green Cloud Sect had the 200-fold of his master. The Divine Will Sect had the 300-fold of Li Feihuang. The 100-fold of An Yuyi was truly unnecessary. It was like a side dish—insignificant. But her aunt, An Miaoli, was quite a different matter.

So, Ye Chen’s earlier actions had nothing to do with An Yuyi; they were all for An Miaoli. As long as he could avoid making An Miaoli harbor any ill feelings toward him, that was all that mattered.

However, to his surprise, the VCR had an astounding effect. It not only made An Miaoli grateful to him, but it seemed that even An Yuyi, this little princess, was feeling a bit guilty.

Ye Chen would rather give away the Divine Will Pool slot than keep it for himself. However, having just given away the direct disciple slot to Li Feihuang, the system cooldown would take another week.

This gave Ye Chen a perfect opportunity to see how An Miaoli would thank him for saving her niece. It would be a good chance to build a relationship with her, making it easier in the future to bypass An Yuyi and deal directly with An Miaoli.

As Ye Chen pondered, there was a knock on his door. He initially thought it might be Li Feihuang or the An aunt and niece.

But when Ye Chen expanded his spirit sense, he smiled. The visitor was his guide, Caidie. He opened the door to see Caidie, with her delicate, graceful appearance, standing outside. Her gaze held a determined resolve, as though ready to take a chance. The month-long arrangement had technically ended today.

Ye Chen had told her the day before that she didn’t need to come today. But Caidie was unwilling to let go of such a generous senior. Not to mention that she had witnessed Ye Chen sweeping through the Divine Will Conference, securing first place and becoming the revered direct disciple. She might even become a Golden Core powerhouse in the future.

Caidie asked herself, a senior with such a promising future could very well be the highest-level person she could ever come into contact with. If she missed this chance, it would be a regret she’d carry for the rest of her life. So, she had spent the entire afternoon preparing and now knocked on the door.

When Ye Chen saw the anxious yet hopeful expression on Caidie’s face, he immediately understood what she was thinking. Ye Chen was someone who always cherished delicate beauty and couldn’t bear to see a girl suffer from rejection.

Besides, this week’s gift had already been given to Li Feihuang. Next week, he would most likely offer the Divine Will Pool slot to An Miaoli. In such circumstances, whether Caidie could return the favor no longer mattered.

Ye Chen gazed at Caidie and nodded calmly. “Since you’ve come, then please, come in.”

Upon hearing this, a joyful expression immediately appeared on Caidie’s face. She hurried to Ye Chen’s side and hooked her arm around his.

However, just as Ye Chen was about to wave his hand to close the gate, his brows slightly furrowed. For the next moment, another graceful figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. It was none other than Yun Qianyue, who had previously guided Ye Chen.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Yun Qianyue had suspected something earlier. But Caidie remained vigilant, never allowing Yun Qianyue to discern anything.

Yet today, upon hearing the name of the top performer at the Divine Will Assembly, Yun Qianyue realized that Ye Chen had arrived. And with a moment’s thought, it became clear to her that Caidie’s employer was Ye Chen. Thus, Yun Qianyue quietly followed Caidie to this place.

At this moment, Yun Qianyue’s heart was filled with unease. She feared that Ye Chen didn’t wish to see her at all. Perhaps he might even ignore her completely.

Right now, Yun Qianyue looked at Ye Chen, who had his arm around Caidie’s, and the hope in her eyes instantly dimmed.

“Ye… Ye Chen… Sorry, I might have come at the wrong time.”

Ye Chen heard her words and immediately smiled. “No. You came at just the right time.”
