I Have A Sword

Chapter 400: Old Friend

Ye Guan went downstairs and got into Su Zi's private car.

"Please help me find where Miss Gu is at the moment," Ye Guan said to the driver.

The driver had yet to leave and was quite startled by Ye Guan's words.

Regardless, he responded, "Please give me a moment, Mr. Ye."

He called someone and turned to Ye Guan once the call was over.

"Mr. Ye, they went to Baiyun Provincial Hospital," said the driver.

Baiyun Provincial Hospital was the best hospital in Baiyun City.

Ye Guan nodded. "Go to Baiyun Provincial Hospital!"

"All right," the driver replied simply, nodding in acknowledgment

He had received instructions to give Ye Guan the same respect as Su Zi. Additionally, he was convinced that Ye Guan and Su Zi were in a relationship, so he didn't dare to disobey Ye Guan.

The car sped down the road, and they soon arrived at Baiyun Provincial Hospital.

Ye Guan looked at the driver and said, "Please help me find where those two women are right now."

"Okay..." the driver replied hesitantly. "Mr. Ye, please give me a moment."

The driver once again called someone on his phone and then put it down a few minutes later.

"Mr. Ye, please follow me," the driver said and led Ye Guan to a luxurious ward.

A dozen bodyguards were standing in front of the door to a room inside the luxurious ward.

The driver walked over and started talking to one of the bodyguards, who glanced at Ye Guan. The bodyguard then turned around and walked into the room.

After a while, the bodyguard came back out, looked at Ye Guan, and told him, "You may go in."

Ye Guan nodded and started walking into the room.

However, the same bodyguard suddenly stopped him and said, "No weapons are allowed inside."

Ye Guan shook his right hand, and a few chopsticks fell from his sleeve.

The bodyguard glanced at Ye Guan again before gently pushing the door open.

Ye Guan entered the room and found Gu Yunman and the auburn-haired young woman inside. The auburn-haired young woman was asleep on the bed.

Gu Yunman was expressionless as she asked, "Are you here to silence us?"

Ye Guan walked up to her.

He glanced at the bodyguards behind him and requested, "Miss Gu, please tell them to go out. They won't be able to protect you anyway if I ever decide to make a move."

The bodyguards' expressions turned cold at Ye Guan's remark.

Gu Yunman nodded and ordered, "You guys should get out."

The bodyguards hesitated, but they reluctantly exited the room in the end.

Gu Yunman glanced at Ye Guan, and her eyes eventually landed on the files in his hand.

"Mr. Ye, are you here to force me to sign contracts?" questioned Gu Yunman.

Ye Guan looked at Gu Yunman and said, "Miss Gu, come over here for a moment."

Gu Yunman frowned slightly but walked over to Ye Guan anyway.

Ye Guan pointed at a large tree about ten meters outside the window and asked, "Miss Gu, can you see that tree?"

Gu Yunman nodded, looking confused.

Ye Guan pulled out a strand of his hair and placed it in his palm. He infused a bit of spiritual energy into the strand of hair, and it disappeared.

Swoosh!

The old tree more than ten meters away was abruptly split in half, and it slowly fell to the ground.

Gu Yunman's pupils contracted. "You..."

Ye Guan looked at Gu Yunman and asked, "Miss Gu, you're a wise person, so I believe you won't urge the Gu Family to avenge you, right?"

Gu Yunman stared at Ye Guan in disbelief. "Are you a martial artist or a cultivator?"

"Which one is more powerful?"

Gu Yunman exclaimed, "Of course, it's a cultivator!"

Ye Guan nodded. "Then I'm a cultivator."

Gu Yunman stared at Ye Guan in shock. The concentration of spiritual energy in Huaxia was so thin that both martial artists and cultivators were exceedingly rare. If one wanted to become a cultivator, one would have to go to the Milky Way Clan.

Of course, those qualified to go to the Milky Way Clan couldn't be ordinary people. They either had a powerful background or were extraordinary talents.

Could it be that Ye Guan was from the Milky Way Clan? Gu Yunman's expression turned serious at the thought.

Ye Guan stared quietly at Gu Yunman. He had only been able to gather enough spiritual energy to unleash three sword moves, and he'd just wasted one of them.

Gu Yunman stared at the files in Ye Guan's hand.

"How about this, Miss Gu?" Ye Guan asked. "Sign these documents, and I will owe you a favor. Of course, if you don't want to sign them, that's fine too."

Gu Yunman looked at Ye Guan doubtfully. "It's fine if I don't sign...?"

"Yes," Ye Guan replied with a nod. He explained, "Contracts should not be forced upon anyone, so I won't force you to sign them."

"Then, I won't sign them!" Gu Yunman replied decisively.

Ye Guan nodded and turned around to leave. Gu Yunman was stunned.

Just as Ye Guan was about to walk out of the room, Gu Yunman cried out, "Mr. Ye, wait!"

Ye Guan turned around to look at Gu Yunman, who walked up to him and grabbed the three files in his hand.

Once Gu Yunman was done signing the documents, she returned them to Ye Guan and said, "You owe me a favor now, Mr. Ye."

"Yes," Ye Guan responded, nodding and turning around to leave.

"Mr. Ye, may I ask if you belong to the Milky Way Clan?" asked Gu Yunman.

"It's the other way around," Ye Guan replied after much thought. "The Milky Way Clan belongs to me."

With that, he walked out and closed the door behind him.

Left all alone, Gu Yunman took a moment to compose herself before shaking her head.

"Young people these days have become too arrogant!" she exclaimed, sounding both exasperated and helpless.

...

Ye Guan found Mu Wanyu sleeping on the sofa in the living room of the apartment. He walked up to her and scooped her up into his arms. He carried her to her room and placed her on the bed so that she could sleep more comfortably, but Mu Wanyu opened her eyes and stared at him.

Ye Guan blinked and asked, "Were you awake all this while?"

Mu Wanyu nodded.

Ye Guan smiled. "Were you waiting for me?"

Mu Wanyu nodded again without saying anything.

Ye Guan sat next to her on the bed and asked, "Do you want to say something to me?"

Mu Wanyu stared at Ye Guan and said, "You're not an ordinary person, are you?" f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

Ye Guan shook his head.

Mu Wanyu continued, "Are you really the king of a universe?"

Ye Guan nodded once more.

Mu Wanyu sat up and stared at Ye Guan. "Are you saying that there are many universes out there?"

"Yes." Ye Guan nodded. "There are indeed many universes out there."

"How about gods? Are there any gods out there?" Mu Wanyu asked.

Ye Guan thought about it before answering, "There are people who claim they're gods."

"How about you? How strong are you?"

Ye Guan smiled and replied, "I can destroy the entire Milky Way with one attack."

Mu Wanyu froze before glaring at him. "Liar!"

Ye Guan laughed.

Mu Wanyu looked down at the ring on her finger and muttered, "Were you telling the truth when you said that this ring is your most valuable possession?"

"Yes, it is, and it'll stay that way while I'm here," Ye Guan replied with a nod.

Mu Wanyu stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Why did you give it to me, then?"

"Because I like you. Is that reason not good enough?"

Mu Wanyu blushed and muttered, "D-don't you like Su Zi?"

Ye Guan smiled upon seeing Mu Wanyu's red cheeks.

He couldn't help but tease her. "Well, I like you as well!"

Mu Wanyu was startled, and then she lowered her head before whispering, "Dummy... how can you like us both at the same time?"

"Then, what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to lie to you?" Ye Guan asked, looking troubled. "Whenever I'm with you, I keep thinking of her..."

"How can you think of her whenever you're with me? You..." Mu Wanyu muttered, looking annoyed.

"Well, I think of you whenever I'm with her, so what can I do?" Ye Guan added.

"Ah, t-that's..." Mu Wanyu stammered, at a loss for words.

Ye Guan chuckled and decided not to tease her anymore. He grabbed Mu Wanyu's hand and tucked it beneath the blanket. Then he said, "It's late. You shouldn't spend so much time thinking about this. Go to sleep. You have class tomorrow, remember?"

"I don't have any more classes to attend," Mu Wanyu replied, shaking her head.

Ye Guan sounded perplexed as he asked, "What do you mean?"

"I've graduated!" Mu Wanyu grinned. "I'll have to go to Yanjing soon! You're going with me, right?"

"Yep." Ye Guan nodded immediately. "We'll go to Yanjing together!"

Mu Wanyu smiled sweetly, but then she suddenly froze as she recalled something.

"Our graduation party is tomorrow. Will you go with me?" Mu Wanyu asked.

Ye Guan chuckled. "Sure!"

He tucked Mu Wanyu in and left the room.

Left all alone, Mu Wanyu waited a few minutes before taking out a thick book from the nearby bookshelf that said Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury Sequelae.

Mu Wanyu looked down at the book for quite a while before muttering, "Preliminary diagnosis—occasional severe delusions... Don't worry. I'll definitely treat you one day."

She put the book away and hid beneath the blanket. Mu Wanyu looked down at the ring on her hand, and her lips slowly parted into a charming smile.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan closed his eyes on the sofa to absorb the latent spiritual energy in the air using the Universe Beholdment Skill. He still hadn't recovered his true strength, but he was strong enough to beat just about any ordinary people out there. Of course, he knew that he still couldn't afford to be careless.

The next morning, Ye Guan opened his eyes and found Mu Wanyu in the kitchen. Just then, the door to Su Zi's room was flung open. She blushed instantly when her eyes landed on Ye Guan. She had truly gotten out of control last night, and she truly felt like digging a hole and hiding inside of it just to hide from Ye Guan.

It was just too embarrassing!

Then, Su Zi finally noticed the files on the dining table. She walked over to them and saw that every single document inside the files had been signed by Gu Yunman.

Su Zi turned to look at Ye Guan and muttered, "You..."

Ye Guan walked up to Su Zi and smiled. "Last night, Miss Gu called me and said that she was willing to sign the contracts with you, so I decided to visit her on your behalf—"

"You don't have to lie to me," Su Zi interjected, shaking her head. "Who do you think I am? A three-year-old child? Did you meet with her?

"And did you promise her anything?"

Ye Guan was about to speak when Su Zi added, "Did you offer yourself to her?"

Ye Guan was stunned. Mu Wanyu put down the bowl in her hand and turned to look at Ye Guan with her eyes wide open.

Su Zi calmly said, "Well, it's not strange. Sister Gu is both sexy and beautiful. I would have done the same if I were you."

"Is that so?" Mu Wanyu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing that. "Why do you smell like vinegar[1], then?"

"What did you say?!" Su Zi exclaimed and ran over to Mu Wanyu.

She pounced on Mu Wanyu, and the two women started tickling each other playfully. The living room was filled with the pleasant laughter of the two young women.

Ye Guan smiled at the heartwarming scene and looked out the window, thinking that it was about time he went to Yanjing.

He started wondering how Erya, Little White, Cirou, Cishu, and Cijing were doing. Were they fine? Ye Guan was especially curious about his father and his aunt. Had his father and his aunt noticed that he was in the Milky Way?

Su Zi walked up to Ye Guan and said, "Thank you."

Ye Guan set his thoughts aside and smiled at Su Zi. "No need for thanks between us."

Su Zi was delighted, and she smiled sweetly at Ye Guan.

Soon afterward, Mu Wanyu was done cooking, and the three of them sat at the dining table to eat.

Mu Wanyu stared at Su Zi and said, "Su Zi, tonight is my graduation party, and Ye Guan's going with me. Are you sure you won't be jealous?"

Su Zi blushed instantly, and she glared at Mu Wanyu. "You really think I care? I won't care even if you two were to sleep together!"

"Is that so?" Mu Wanyu replied, giggling. She pointed out. "I wonder who told Ye Guan last night to 'be gentle'? What does 'be gentle' mean? Can you tell me what it means? I'm sorry, but I just can't understand what 'be gentle' means!"

"Aaaaah! You're going to die this time!" Su Zi roared embarrassedly and pounced on Mu Wanyu.

Su Zi moved swiftly to tickle, but Mu Wanyu was a fighter and stood her ground, tickling Su Zi as well. The laughter of the two young women pervaded the apartment.

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. He moved the plates closer to him and continued eating with relish.

... contemporary romance

Li Mingbo was sitting in the huge living room of the Li Residence. An old man was standing in front of him.

The old man said softly, "Master, the Su Family has managed to establish a business relationship with the Gu Family..."

Li Mingbo's expression turned solemn, but he remained silent.

The old man wanted to say something else, but a middle-aged man walked into the living room. The middle-aged man's figure was broad, hinting at his formidable physique hidden beneath his long, black robe. A broadsword was on his back, and his eyes were fierce, emitting a barely perceptible murderous intent.

Li Mingbo immediately got up and asked, "Are you perhaps Master Muwu?"

The middle-aged man nodded and asked, "Who do you want dead?"

Li Mingbo's eyes narrowed. "A young man named Ye Guan."

The middle-aged man stared at Li Mingbo and said, "You'll have to pay me at least a hundred million dollars."

"I know the rules," Li Mingbo answered with a nod. Then he added, "But he's extraordinary, so you—"

"So what if he's extraordinary?" the middle-aged man snapped, looking annoyed. "No one is extraordinary before the Future Clan."

Li Mingbo's expression remained solemn as he asked, "Is the clan leader of the Future Clan perhaps the legendary Vice Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, Master Ying Qing?"

A glint of surprise flashed in Muwu's eyes.

"You've heard of my clan leader?" he asked.

Li Mingbo nodded and explained, "I heard about her return when I was in Yanjing."

"Indeed. She retired not too long ago and has returned to the Milky Way," Muwu replied.

Li Mingbo grinned. The Future Clan and Vice Pavilion Master Ying Qing!

The job was considered done at this point. He had indeed spent a hundred million dollars, but it was money well spent!

1. it means being jealous, kinda like how you feel a sour feeling in your gut whenever you're jealous, so it's like you've drank vinegar, which means you'll inevitably smell like vinegar. ?
