The Sacred Land is going bankrupt, I invented a mobile phone! - Chapter 215
Chapter 215: The Most Unfair Misunderstanding!
Could there be some hidden secrets behind the chaos in the Eastern Sea?
Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
The Jade Pond Saint Master smiled gently.
She rose first, flying out of the main hall, her graceful figure landing on a small island above Jade Pond.
The Jade Pond above Kunlun was vast.
In the center of the boundless lake was a small island, covered in spiritual herbs, colorful and tranquil.
Ye Chen followed closely behind.
The elders in the guest hall watched the two of them, curious about what they would discuss and why they needed to avoid the crowd.
Elder Wang Changchun had been secretly observing the Jade Pond Saint Master since entering the hall, not out of admiration but because her familiar face reminded him of Elder Qingcheng, stirring up countless memories.
Elder Wang noticed clearly the tenderness, gratitude, and regret in the Jade Pond Saint Masterโs eyes when she looked at their Saint Master.
Now, she was even inviting him for a private conversation.
It was evident that the Jade Pond Saint Master had feelings for their Saint Master.
Thinking of his own unrequited love back then and seeing the Jade Pond Saint Masterโs proactive approach now, Elder Wang felt a pang of bitterness.
The difference between people was simply too vast.
On the island, with blooming spiritual flowers setting off the Jade Pond Saint Master like a fairy, she lightly tapped her jade finger.
The island’s formation activated, raising a mysterious light that blocked all outside prying, ensuring no one could overhear their conversation.
This only heightened Ye Chen’s curiosity.
What could the Jade Pond Saint Master want to say that required such secrecy?
Was there some ancient secret?
Some unresolved grudge with the demon race?
Ye Chen grew more interested in what the Jade Pond Saint Master had to say.
Sensing Ye Chenโs gaze, the Jade Pond Saint Masterโs stunning face became serious.
She spoke softly, “Daoist Ye, I understand your feelings!”
Ye Chen: ???
What are you talking about?
My feelings?
What feelings?
Seeing Ye Chenโs confused expression, not expecting her to be so direct, the Jade Pond Saint Master smiled gently, her eyes soft, “Daoist Ye, itโs okay. Admiring beauty is natural. It’s normal to be fond of me.
“Youโve been paying attention to Jade Pond Sacred Land because of me!
“You disregarded danger, even when the other elders were in seclusion, and came alone to help.
“Not to mention you specifically changed the reward for the first beauty for me.
“I can feel the deep affection behind all these actions!”
Ye Chen’s eyes widenedโฆ
He wanted to speak immediately, but the Jade Pond Saint Master placed a finger on his lips, preventing him from speaking.
Her cool, jade-like finger on his lips left Ye Chen in a daze.
With a slight blush, the Jade Pond Saint Master continued, “I understand your feelings!
“Youโre a good person!
“But you already have a Dao companion.
“As the Saint Master of Jade Pond Sacred Land, the foremost female immortal in the world, I cannot share my Dao companion with other women.
“So, itโs impossible for us!
“If only we had met sooner.
“So, you should go back. Donโt risk yourself for me!”
The Jade Pond Saint Master finished speaking, but the air on the island remained silent.
Ye Chen looked at the Jade Pond Saint Master in disbelief.
What are you doing?
I thought you had some sacred secrets or grudges to reveal.
Instead, you think Iโm in love with you and gave me a good person card?
Ye Chen was amused and pushed the Jade Pond Saint Master’s finger away.
This was too absurd.
For a moment, Ye Chen didnโt know what to say.
He knew the Jade Pond Saint Master was narcissistic, but this was too much.
She had interpreted all his actions as love for her.
This was ridiculousโฆ
However, despite her narcissism, she had a redeeming quality โ she wasnโt manipulative.
Unlike those green teas in his previous life who exploited menโs affections for benefits and discarded them afterward, the Jade Pond Saint Master, believing he liked her, didnโt think of using this to solve Jade Pond Sacred Landโs crisis.
Instead, she spoke clearly, asking him not to take risks.
But whether the Jade Pond Saint Master was manipulative or not, Ye Chen felt it was necessary to make her see reality.
He spoke coldly, “Youโre overthinking!
“Changing the first beautyโs reward wasnโt for you, but for my master.
“My master will participate in the top hundred beauties contest next year. Sheโs much prettier than you, so the reward is prepared for her!
“As for my coming to the Eastern Sea, itโs indeed related to you and Jade Pond Sacred Land.
“But thatโs because youโre too useless. As a sacred land, you canโt even deal with a few demon kings!
“Do you know how many spirit stones I lose daily because of the Eastern Seaโs chaos?
“If I waited for you to solve it, it would take decades. Selling Jade Pond Sacred Land wouldnโt cover my losses.
“So, I had to come and handle it myself!”
Ye Chenโs words should have made any woman unhappy, hearing that another woman was prettier.
But the Jade Pond Saint Master showed no reaction, only looking more guilty and gentle. Looking at her expressionโฆ
Ye Chen: ???
What are you thinking?
Wasnโt I clear enough?
Ye Chen didnโt want to waste words, “Tell me, where is the Golden Lion King?”
The Jade Pond Saint Master sighed. “I knew even if I explained, you wouldnโt give up, just like Elder Wangโs affection for my motherโฆ
“The three demon kings are in Martial Emperor City.
“Since you insist on going, I will bring Jade Pond Sacred Land experts to accompany you!”
Ye Chen got the information.
He didnโt want to stay with this narcissistic woman any longer.
The Jade Pond Saint Master compared Elder Wangโs affection to his own.
This was the worst misunderstanding he had ever faced since entering the cultivation world.
With a wave of his hand, the islandโs isolation formation deactivated instantly.
Ye Chen flew into the sky. “Donโt follow me!
“And let me tell you seriously, Iโm really not interested in you!”
As Ye Chenโs voice spread, the elders and disciples in the guest hall widened their eyes.
What did they hear?
Though they couldnโt hear anything before, they clearly saw the Jade Pond Saint Master approaching Ye Chen, even touching his lips intimatelyโฆ
Afterwards, they saw Ye Chenโs surprised, frowning, and cold expressionsโฆ
These scenes alone allowed the elders to imagine various scenarios.
And now, as the Heavenly Origin Saint Master flew from the island, his words reached everyoneโs ears.
This confirmed everyoneโs speculations!
The Jade Pond Saint Master had invited the Heavenly Origin Saint Master for a private conversation to express her feelings.
She even touched him boldly but was outright rejected by him.
This news was enough to stir everyoneโs emotions.
The Jade Pond Sacred Landโs members werenโt too surprised by their Saint Masterโs affection for the Heavenly Origin Saint Master.
A man as outstanding as Ye Chen naturally attracted admiration from many female cultivators.
It was normal for their Saint Master to be moved.
If Ye Chen and the Jade Pond Saint Master became Dao companions, it would be a great thing for Jade Pond Sacred Land.
Unfortunately, he rejected her, leaving many Jade Pond female cultivators feeling regretful.
Meanwhile, the elders of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land were full of admiration.
Their Saint Master attracted womenโs affections wherever he went.
Even the first beauty of Great Yan Province, the Jade Pond Saint Master, couldnโt wait to express her feelings after meeting him for the first time.
It was truly enviable.
The one most affected was undoubtedly Elder Wang.
He had failed to win his love, while their Saint Master directly rejected her.
The gap was painful.
โ
As emotions ran high, Ye Chen landed before the guest hall, nodding slightly to the Jade Pond elders.
He then addressed his own elders, “Letโs go to Martial Emperor City.”
He then led the elders, leaving Jade Pond Sacred Land.
Shortly after, the Jade Pond Saint Master also flew back from the island.
“Master, are you alright?” the Holy Maiden asked cautiously.
The Jade Pond Saint Master smiled. “Why would I be hurt?”
“Yuwei, love can be painful. Being rejected is fine, but donโt lose confidence because of it.”
The elder thought the Jade Pond Saint Master was pretending to be strong, so she comforted her.
The Jade Pond Saint Master looked puzzled. “Did you misunderstand? How could I be rejected? I rejected the Heavenly Origin Saint Master, telling him weโre not suitable.”
The scene fell silent.
Everyone had seen clearly.
It was obvious you made the first move and were rejected.
However, no one spoke.
Everyone knew the Jade Pond Saint Masterโs pride.
She would never admit to being rejected.
No one could say anything more.
As the Jade Pond Saint Master looked at Ye Chenโs departing figure, her eyes were full of warmth. “You said so much, trying to prove you donโt like me.
“But I know itโs all lies!
“You said Nangong Wan is prettier than me. Thatโs the biggest lie. Thereโs no woman in Great Yan Province prettier than me.
“So the reward change was definitely for me.
“You claimed coming to the Eastern Sea wasnโt for me, but for profit.
“Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is wealthy. Itโs impossible youโd come here for some lost spirit stones, risking danger to fight three demon kings!
“So itโs still for me!
“You said those things to avoid making me feel guilty.
“Youโve done so much for me, yet youโre still considerate of my feelingsโฆ
“Countless men love me, but none like you. Itโs a pity weโre not destined to be together!
“Itโs my fault for letting you down!”
โ
Gathering her thoughts, the Jade Pond Saint Master addressed everyone, “The Heavenly Origin Saint Master is going to Martial Emperor City for Jade Pond Sacred Land. We cannot just sit idly by.
“Elders, follow me!”
Everyone nodded.
The elder stood up immediately.
Although still recovering, she could help hold off a mid-stage Deity Transformation demon king, easing Ye Chenโs burden.
After a brief preparation, the Jade Pond Saint Master led the Nascent Soul elders to Martial Emperor Cityโฆ
