Supreme Tamer

Chapter 382: Chapter 258: Comparing Calmness? Comparing Attitude?

Translator: 549690339

Realizing Chu Mu’s discomfort, Ye Qingzi refrained from questioning him further. In fact, she wasn’t the inquisitive type, just like when they tamed the Ghost Dome King on Colorful Dome Mountain, she was content to wait for Chu Mu to share in his own time.

The Cliff Feather Bird’s speed was swift. Chu Mu, Ye Qingzi, and Ye Wansheng went straight to the City Lord Mansion in Boundary City.

After they landed in the courtyard, Dongqing informed them that the conference hadn’t started yet. She asked her servants to prepare refreshments, allowing the trio to rest while waiting for the arrival of other faction members, after which, they would be guided to the conference hall.

“Dongqing, Dongqing, where are you, get out here.”. Just as the trio sat down to admire the unique garden of the City Lord’s Mansion, an arrogant female voice echoed from outside the courtyard.

Dongqing massaged her temples upon hearing the woman’s voice and sighed helplessly, “That must be Miss Sha. She can be quite annoying at times.”

“Who is this Miss Sha?” Chu Mu asked.

“She’s the proud daughter of the Business Association, kind of like my half cousin. She often visits me here, last time she even dragged me to the city race. In the past, I enjoyed being playful, but after assuming my position, I’ve become much more restrained…” Dongqing explained with a smile.

Soon enough, Miss Sha, dressed in a miniskirt, made her appearance. Despite adopting a more modest attire compared to the city race, her spoiled, arrogant demeanor did not change much.

Miss Sha quickly spotted Dongqing in the gazebo, her gaze swept across Chu Mu and the others before striding over to them.

“Oh, let me introduce you, you should already know Chu Chen, and this is Miss Ye, the one who played a key role in eradicating the Gluttonous Insect monster. Next to her is her brother, Ye Wansheng.” Dongqing quickly introduced them.

Miss Sha nodded at the Ye siblings, then her gaze quickly landed on Chu Mu. She took a step closer and scrutinized Chu Mu closely.

“Humph, it’s you. Don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you’ve changed your clothes, you sly fox! Quickly confess, what did you do to Little Sister Ruoshui last time!” Miss Sha accused Chu Mu with contempt.

Chu Mu hadn’t expected Miss Sha to recognize him so easily, it was probably due to the distinctive nature of the Night Thunder Dream Beast. He neither acknowledged nor denied her accusation at this moment.

“Miss Sha, watch your words.” Dongqing pulled the furious Miss Sha aside, her face becoming more serious.

“What did I say? Ask him what he did!” Miss Sha was stubbornly convinced that she was right.

“Chu Chen made great contributions this time, even my father wants to meet him. If you want to make a fuss, do it somewhere else, not around Chu Chen.” Dongqing admired Chu Mu even more now, and naturally, wouldn’t allow Miss Sha to create a commotion.

Miss Sha was in a tizzy, explaining how she was looking for Ruoshui at the brothel and saw Chu Mu, disguised, escorting Ruoshui down the stairs, emphasizing further, refering to his apparent nervous escape.

“Chu Chen, you’re dishonest. Going to a brothel without bringing me along…” Ye Wansheng, a notorious gossip-stirrer, couldn’t help but laugh.

Chu Mu was too lazy to clarify such ridiculous misunderstandings, including Miss Sha’s unreasonable behavior. After all, once Miss Sha asked Ruoshui about it, she would naturally understand what really happened.

However, Chu Mu felt Ye Qingzi’s gaze…

As Miss Sha spoke, Ye Qingzi was staring at Chu Mu with an odd look.

Ye Qingzi was an extremely poised woman. When she heard about Chu Mu’s brothel saga, her expression didn’t change, but her eyes spoke volumes and made Chu Mu feel a desperate need to clarify the incident.

Thereupon, Chu Mu briefly explained how he had been chasing the Gluttonous Insect monster and then suddenly bumped into Duan Xinhe in the brothel. After the explanation, he smiled at Ye Qingzi and conveyed to her through soul sense:

“I met her twice. The second time was in the brothel while chasing the Gluttonous Insect monster. So don’t misunderstand…”

Ye Qingzi felt that Chu Mu was specifically explaining to her. She looked away and pretended to be indifferent, “Who misunderstood…”

As shrewd as he was, Ye Wansheng understood immediately that the two were communicating through soul sense. He laughed and said, “Brother Chu Chen, you don’t really need to explain anything to my sister. After all, as a man… Even if it were more than just a one-off incident…”

“Hiss!!!!!!!” His words were cut off as he took a sharp intake of breath. Ye Qingzi had calmly stepped on his foot, forcing him to choke back his words.

Remembering that Chu Mu and the rest did indeed exterminate Gluttonous Insect monsters that day, Miss Sha, who wasn’t entirely unreasonable, decided not to pursue the matter with him any further.

“Young Master, Young Master Yu He has arrived.” While they were talking, an old family servant approached and reported with a bow.

“Tell him I’m busy entertaining guests and can’t spare the time,” Dongqing waved dismissively.

“Ha, Dongqing, we’ve known each other for so many years, yet you try to fob me off when I come to visit. That’s really not very courteous of you.” Yu He’s laughter resounded through the air.

Chu Mu turned and quickly noticed Yu He, clad in dark blue attire, strolling leisurely towards the pavilion. It seemed that this young master of the Elemental Gate knew Dongqing would be here.

“You’re a self-invited guest. Since you’re here, feel free to sit down wherever you want. I’ll introduce you to a few remarkable individuals.” Dongqing made no attempt to hide his disgust for Yu He. He nonchalantly gestured towards a seat, indicating for Yu He to take a seat.

Of course, Yu He noticed Chu Mu and the others. The hostility between Chu Mu and Yu He was rather straightforward. If it weren’t for Chu Mu, Yu He would have escaped unscathed after killing Yu Lang. Instead, he was now facing a trial by Soul Hall and the risk of severe punishment.

As for Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng, they had a conflict with Yu He in Zhanli Realm over the Darkflame Sky Demon, leading to a deep-seated resentment. Besides, Ye Wansheng was subsequently captured, his most powerful soul pet, the Battle Court Black Beast, was killed, and he was subjected to a torturous ordeal that ravaged his body. This inevitably consumed the Ye Family siblings in hatred for Yu He!

Yu He hadn’t expected to encounter these three enemies at Dongqing’s place. His face registered mild surprise when he saw them, but he quickly put on a self-satisfied smirk.

“So, it’s you. Ha, What a coincidence,” Yu He laughed.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi remained remarkably composed, even when confronted with a relentless foe. The extent of their composure was such that they expressed no overt reaction.

Even Ye Wansheng, who had a deep grudge against Yu He, maintained a serene demeanor. The sight of Yu He only made his smile wider.

Dongqing was unaware of the resentment between Chu Mu’s group and Yu He. Already averse to Yu He himself, he scoffed, “Shouldn’t you be busy managing your relationship with Soul Hall instead of hanging around here, risk being embroiled in a murder charge?”

“I, Yu He, am innocent. The truth will reveal itself. Contrarily, our friend, Chu Mu, seems to insist on incriminating me. I’m not sure what I’ve done to offend this gentleman who is evidently well-received by the young master, that an unwarranted trial was specifically sanctioned for me,” Yu He remarked.

As soon as Yu He voiced his insinuation, Miss Sha and Dongqing focused their gaze on Chu Mu. Along with them, Ye Wansheng, looking rather puzzled, also turned his eyes towards Chu Mu. Since when was Chu Mu bestowed with the title of a young master’s favorite?

In the entire soul pet world, the term “young master” is generally reserved for the offspring of the Supreme Authorities of the major powers. Therefore, the young generation is rather sensitive to the mention of a “young master,” as it represents the highest status within their ranks.

Chu Mu also understood that Yu He was trying to discern his identity. However, rather than enlightening him, Chu Mu chose to ignore Yu He and his provocative comments gracefully and continued discussing the effects of the Demon Tree Warrior’s poison with Ye Qingzi.

Being ignored was indeed intolerable, especially when feelings of intense animosity were involved. Although Yu He maintained his sanctimonious smile, he was already plotting to have Chu Mu killed by Duan Xinhe.

In this regard, Yu He bore a striking resemblance to Ye Wansheng. Ye Wansheng, with his easygoing demeanor, was even arguing with Miss Sha. However, his heart was cloaked in darkness, filled with an intense desire to chop Yu He into a thousand pieces right there and then. Anything less as revenge for his Battle Court Black Beast, his partner for so many years, would be a disservice to its memory!

From Ye Qingzi’s Battle Court Black Beast, it could be deduced that Ye Wansheng’s Battle Court Black Beast was a rare soul pet as well, and it was his main pet that had accompanied him for many years. Just because of the two subordinates of Yu He, it was poisoned to death in the cellar. This seed of vengeance had long been planted in Ye Wansheng’s heart.

However, Ye Wansheng was a man who remained levelheaded, knowing very well that he was not a match for Yu He at the moment. Even amidst the raging anger in his heart, he maintained his cheeky smile as he bickered with Miss Sha…

As a keen observer, Dongqing could roughly sense the tension between Chu Mu and Yu He. The simpler-minded Miss Sha, however, remained oblivious to the unsettling atmosphere, instead, she continued to quarrel with the man next to her, whose heart was brimming with suppressed darkness, about her figure.

Yu He’s forced smile became stiffer by the minute. His calm, composed demeanor, and political acumen were quite rare among his peers. He had expected these three to be rattled upon seeing him. At the very least, he reckoned Ye Wansheng, whom he had tortured almost to death, would be seething with rage. Unexpectedly, all three of them were rather nonchalant, nearly borderline ignoring him. Their calmness, however, was beginning to unsettle Yu He.

(Ahh!!!! The new month has arrived~~~~ February was a gloomy month, but March will be a month of resurgence. This resurgence, of course, starts with Monthly Tickets and Recommended votes!!!)

(Little Fish always takes a very serious and solemn approach to his book. Even in the busiest of times or during pivotal moments of his life, he dedicated himself to ensuring the update of “Charming Pet” was 1.1 million words. Among numerous books published at the same time as “Pet Charm” on Qidian, not many achieved a total word count of 1 million. Admittedly, these months also saw inconsistent updates. Little Fish acknowledges this as an oversight on his part.)

Regardless, he hopes for understanding from everyone. Like any ordinary person, the past three years saw considerable changes in Little Fish’s life. Staying stagnant was not an option.

Now, Little Fish’s situation has settled down, just short of a stable internet connection (he has been uploading via mobile recently). Hence, he is very passionate and confident about this surge in March. He deliberately included this long message in this chapter, sincerely hoping everyone will trust Little Fish, and cast the first of the month’s tickets for “Pet Charm”. Little Fish would be incredibly grateful~~~~~~~)(To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
