1467 I Didn’t Kill You Because I Was Afraid of Dirtying My Sword
Zhan Yingrong and Zhan Wuya were both competitors and combat partners. She yearned to surpass Zhan Wuya, but that didn’t mean that she wanted to destroy him.
Zhan Yingrong’s last sentence warmed Zhan Wuya’s heart even more than comforting him directly. “Believe me, sooner or later, everyone will trust me again.”
Seeing that Zhan Wuya and Zhan Yingrong had decided on the new Patriarch, the other Prime Masters rolled their eyes, but no one really stood up to object to Zhan Wuya’s suggestion. Because, just as Zhan Yingrong had said, she was indeed the most suitable person for the Patriarch position and for leading them to revive the War God Clan.

The news of Zhan Yingrong becoming the new Patriarch of the War God Clan spread throughout the entire cultivation world at lightning speed.
!!When he heard this news, Ye Qingyang had just arrived at the capital of the War God Empire and was about to take a taxi to the Black Sea. When he saw this news on the cultivation network, Ye Qingyang was stunned. Then, he smiled.
To retreat in order to advance, Zhan Wuya was quite smart.
Seeing that Zhan Wuya had successfully resolved his situation in the War God Clan, Ye Qingyang planned to return to the inner academy. Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Zhan Wuya.
“Ye Qingyang.” Zhan Wuya’s low and weak voice sounded in Ye Qingyang’s ears.
Ye Qingyang scratched his ears as he said sarcastically, “Are you going to die or something?”
Zhan Wuya laughed on the other end of the phone and said, “I heard from Yu Huang that you’re coming to the War God Nation to support me?”
Ye Qingyang rubbed his nose awkwardly. He didn’t admit it or reject it.
Zhan Wuya knew that a person like Ye Qingyang wouldn’t admit it even if he did such a thing.
As a big shot ghostly cultivator, he was very prideful.
Zhan Wuya suddenly called Ye Qingyang’s name, “Ye Qingyang.”
“What?!” Ye Qingyang replied fiercely.
Zhan Wuya said dispiritedly, “Help me do something.”
“What?” Ye Qingyang asked aloofly.
“Can you help me get a beautiful crystal coffin? Little Xue likes beautiful things, so I think that even after death, she would want to live in a beautiful house.” After Zhan Wuya finished speaking, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. Then, he said in a choked voice, “I don’t have any romantic feelings for her, but when I personally picked up her head and realized that I couldn’t connect her head to her body, I actually felt afraid.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyang felt a sense of pity. “Let it go. Everyone will die eventually. Wait for me. I’ll go get a beautiful coffin now.”
After hanging up, Ye Qingyang stared at the bus ticket in his hand and muttered, “Damn, I wasted another bus ticket.” He put away the bus ticket. He planned to ask Zhan Wuya to reimburse him when he saw him.

That night, Ye Qingyang carried a beautiful crystal coffin to the Black Sea. There were countless cherry blossoms sealed in the middle of the coffin. When Zhan Wuya saw this coffin, he was silent for a long time before saying, “She liked cherry blossoms, so she would definitely like the coffin you chose.”
“I won’t die.”
Zhan Wuya carefully placed Zhan Jianxue’s body in the coffin. The undertaker had sewed together the head and neck. After makeup, the face didn’t look so distorted anymore.
However, it was very different from her beautiful and charming appearance when she was alive.
When Zhan Wuya personally closed Zhan Jianxue’s coffin, his arms trembled.
Ye Qingyang didn’t like to see this sort of scene. He turned around and waited for Zhan Wuya to agree before turning around. He glanced at the woman in the pink dress lying in the coffin as he comforted Zhan Wuya awkwardly, “Don’t be so sad. She just went to meet Madam Zhan in advance.”
Zhan Wuya nodded and lamented, “Little Xue has been arrogant all her life, but now, she has finally done something that makes her proud. I’m happy for her.”
Ye Qingyang looked at Zhan Wuya worriedly and said, “You look like who lost your beloved. Zhan Wuya, you really liked Zhan Jianxue, didn’t you?”
Zhan Wuya remained silent.
After a long while, he lamented, “Perhaps. Otherwise, why would I put down my grudges and ask Duan Fen to refine the Cherry Blossom Warhammer?” He liked Zhan Jianxue, but when he discovered Zhan Jianxue’s true colors, he didn’t dare to admit that the woman he liked was actually a jealous and mean-spirited woman.
“Tsk.” Ye Qingyang knew what Zhan Wuya was thinking, so he comforted him, “Don’t be so sad. Zhan Jianxue was sincere to you, so compared to me, you’re much luckier.” He was a pitiful person who had been chased out by his fiancée.
When Zhan Wuya thought of the drama between Ye Qingyang and Jing Jiaren, he nodded in agreement. “Yes, you’re even more unlucky.”
Ye Qingyang was speechless.
After helping Zhan Wuya bury Zhan Jianxue, Ye Qingyang took a boat back to the inner academy immediately. He arrived at the lake island villa at dawn. Just as he got off the ferry, he saw a woman in a black shirt that revealed her shoulders standing in the lake island’s square.
Ye Qingyang frowned slightly when he saw her.
Jing Jiaren sensed that the surrounding atmosphere had become filled with ghost energy, and this eerie feeling was so familiar.
Ye Qingyang?
“You just came back?” Jing Jiaren took the initiative to greet Ye Qingyang.
Ye Qingyang’s reaction was very calm. After he nodded, he entered the square and took a small path in order to take the energy car. Jing Jiaren suddenly stopped him. “Ye Qingyang!”
Ye Qingyang clicked his tongue impatiently and stopped. Then, he looked up at Jing Jiaren silently.
Jing Jiaren was shocked by the coldness in Ye Qingyang’s eyes, but she was also a proud woman, so she quickly regained her composure. “Ye Qingyang, you have a good relationship with Yu Huang, right?”
Ye Qingyang became more vigilant.
Noticing the change in Ye Qingyang’s gaze, Jing Jiaren suddenly felt upset.
Was he that concerned about Yu Huang?
“It seems like you two have a good relationship.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so wary of her just because she mentioned Yu Huang. “Don’t be nervous. I don’t have any ill intentions towards her.”
Ye Qingyang sneered. “As if I’ll believe you. You, Jing Jiaren, are heartless and treacherous. You’re the snobbiest person I know. You don’t care about people with low cultivation levels and a lowly status. Now that you’re suddenly asking me about Yu Huang, how can you possibly have kind intentions?”
Ye Qingyang was very clear-headed.
He had seen through Jing Jiaren’s true colors long ago.
Jing Jiaren must have an ulterior motive for suddenly asking about Yu Huang.
Jing Jiaren felt suffocated by Ye Qingyang’s retort. “Is this how you see me?” Jing Jiaren asked angrily.
Ye Qingyang had an impassive expression, but his words were even more insulting, “I can’t be bothered to look at you.”
Jing Jiaren was speechless.
Ye Qingyang was about to leave.
Seeing this, Jing Jiaren panicked. Disregarding her identity, she took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, “Ye Qingyang, can you help me ask Yu Huang if she knows the whereabouts of the Divination Ultimate Art?” The fact that the Jing family wanted to obtain the Divination Ultimate Art wasn’t a secret.
The professors in the inner academy also understood the purpose of the Jing family’s past few generations coming to the inner academy to seek knowledge.
Naturally, Ye Qingyang also knew this very well.
Therefore, Jing Jiaren had no worries when she asked this.
However, when Ye Qingyang heard this, he seemed to have heard something funny and laughed. “Jing Jiaren, should I say that you’re thick-skinned or foolish?” Ye Qingyang turned around and frowned at Jing Jiaren as he retorted, “What’s our relationship? How dare you ask me to help you? In this world, even a mosquito can beg me to stand still and let it take a bite and suck some blood. Only you, Jing Jiaren, have no right to ask me for help.”
“I didn’t kill you because I was afraid of dirtying my sword. Do you really think that just because you’re beautiful, I still have feelings for you?” He sized up Jing Jiaren a few times before lamenting, “Don’t talk to me in the future. If you look for me again, I’ll look down on you even more.”
With that, Ye Qingyang left without looking back.
Jing Jiaren stood rooted to the ground in shock.
This was the first time Ye Qingyang had said such ruthless words to her directly. He made it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with Jing Jiaren.
Jing Jiaren was used to being fawned over. This was the first time she had been insulted by a man, and it was even a man she had dumped, so she was very angry.
But the words Ye Qingyang said today weren’t nearly as ruthless as what she had said to him back then.
