Chapter 393: Chu Cixie Makes an Appearance

Chapter 393: Chu Cixie Appears

Alliance President's Office

After wrapping up his work,

Chen Meng asked, "How's the engagement party going?"

Wang Guohua hesitated for a moment. "...Not great."

Chen Meng, "What do you mean?"

Wang Guohua, "Jiang Yuhua brought her lover. During the kiss, she kissed her lover, and Li Zefeng passed out from rage.

Fortunately... Mr. Li kept his cool. The engagement ceremony continued. You should probably get going."

Chen Meng glanced at Wang Guohua, frowned deeply, and stood up to leave. "What kind of mess is this?"

Wang Guohua suddenly added, "Alliance President, Li Zefeng mentioned that when Li Yiran went to pick up the bride,

he heard himself Jiang Yuhua admit that Chiyan Wuyue is the daughter of Lu Ling and Jiang Cheng. What do you think..."

Chen Meng's eyes flickered, and after thinking it over, he said:

"Since she's the daughter of an old friend, I naturally must meet her later.

If Wuyue truly holds such an important identity, I will personally inquire when the Jiang family plans to make her status public. The Alliance should also make corresponding preparations."

Wang Guohua, "Yes, sir."

Before standing up, Chen Meng suddenly asked, "Is the White Tiger still not done fighting?"

Wang Guohua nodded. "Yes, the battle is intense. They say it will take a while before they can leave the instance."

Chen Meng's lips twitched. "Good."

If they can't leave for a while, they might as well never leave.

Chen Meng, "What about the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird?"

Wang Guohua, "They arrived at the engagement ceremony venue early."

Chen Meng, "Then let's go too. We shouldn't keep the couple waiting."

The moment the office door opened, a person appeared by the entrance. Wang Guohua immediately bowed respectfully and was about to address the person.

The visitor gently raised a hand. "No need for such formalities."

The visitor appeared quite old, with a full head of white hair but still vigorous. One could imagine how remarkable he must have been in his youth.

Chen Meng's tone was full of respect. "What brings you here?"

"I heard the daughter of an old friend is attending this banquet. I'd like to meet her too.

Let’s go, Alliance President."

Chen Meng walked ahead, and the visitor followed behind him. Despite standing behind the imposing and robust Chen Meng, the visitor did not appear subservient. Instead, it almost seemed as though Chen Meng was leading the way for him, as if he were the real VIP.

Zhou Qianfeng and Fu Yixue were there to meet them. Spotting Chen Meng from afar, the two stepped forward to greet him.

As they approached and saw the person behind Chen Meng, both of their expressions changed simultaneously.

Zhou Qianfeng felt a chilling cold sensation on the back of his neck—no wonder every move had been anticipated. So it really was him.

"Yixue, you’ve really grown up now."

Fu Yixue raised her eyes to look at the person before her—Chu Cixie.

Chu Cixie, who had been locked away in a maximum-security national prison and disappeared without a trace at the beginning of the apocalypse.

He had absorbed a century's worth of his father's scheming and exorcist powers, becoming the ultimate inheritor of a long-lost lineage of exorcist arts.

The only criminal psychology expert who could be considered Lu Ling’s teacher, and the ultimate antagonist who first proposed the concepts of the "new world" and "new humanity."

Not only Lu Ling, but even Fu Yixue, Zhou Qianfeng, and even Jiang Cheng had all been guided by him. At one point, he was like a lodestar for the entire metaphysical community.

So after Lu Ling left, as long as he wanted to, as long as he acted, the behavior patterns of all these people could be grasped and predicted by him.

Fu Yixue sneered, "You’re not dead yet?"

Zhou Qianfeng looked at her in surprise, "How can you speak to Elder Chu like that?"

Fu Yixue, "How should I speak?"

Zhou Qianfeng stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Chu Cixie, "It’s not the New Year or any festival, how did the underworld release you for a visit?

Did the Black and White Impermanence or Ox-Head and Horse-Face beat you? If they did, you deserved it."

Wang Guohua was furious, "How dare you speak to Elder Chu like that!"

Zhou Qianfeng feigned surprise, "Was my attitude not good enough? I thought not spitting at him already made me a decent person."

Fu Yixue looked dangerously at Chu Cixie, "If you dare do anything to Wu Yue, I will definitely kill you."

Zhou Qianfeng, "Do me a favor, let me be the one to push the button when it’s time to fire.

This round of world-saving credit goes to me."

Chen Meng watched as Zhou Qianfeng and Fu Yixue couldn’t even be bothered to pretend, the veins at his temples throbbed violently.

"You need to know your limits. Humanity has painstakingly recovered and developed over the past 15 years, and things are just starting to look up. Must you really provoke a war and bring suffering to all living beings?"

Zhou Qianfeng looked incredulous, "Alliance President, you’re parading around the alliance’s highest-level top-secret thoroughfare with a Thanos-level supervillain, and you’re saying we’re the ones provoking war?

You look all wrinkled up like a chrysanthemum, but I didn’t expect you to have the heart of a sanctimonious white lotus."

Chen Meng, having been Alliance President for so long, had never had anyone dare to be so insolent to his face.

He was so angry the veins on his forehead bulged violently, "Zhou Qianfeng, don’t push your luck."

Zhou Qianfeng smiled, "Alliance President, your way of speaking is as crude as spitting."

With a glance from Chen Meng, Wang Guohua abruptly drew the long sword from his back.

"Uncle Zhou! Aunt Fu!"

A voice suddenly called from afar—it was Wu Yue. Everyone turned to see Wu Yue holding Shen Que’s hand as they approached them.

Fu Yixue, wary of Chu Cixie, immediately frowned, "This is the Alliance President’s office, the most secure location in the entire alliance. How did you get here?"

Wu Yue held Shen Que's hand and shook it gently, "I used the Prince's clout, and I told them I'm Lu Ling and Jiang Cheng's daughter, here specifically to see the Alliance President."

She said, "Honestly, this time someone finally took me seriously and escorted me in with respect. It seems Li Yiran actually got the word through. I'm so touched."

Zhou Qianfeng said calmly, "Shen Que, take Wu Yue back to the engagement party first."

Shen Que replied, "Yue Yue said she wanted to bring me to see just how shameless the Alliance President who can't take a hint really looks."

Zhou Qianfeng / Fu Yixue reacted, "Okay then..." This is just coming right out and saying it to his face.

Zhou Qianfeng even started clapping. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The moment those words were spoken, Chen Meng's face instantly darkened.

After all these years of being suppressed by Chen Meng, Zhou Qianfeng had imagined a hundred different ways to get back at him, but he never expected it to happen like this.

Shen Que, that's my boy! He always thought this kid had potential and could step up! He certainly didn’t disappoint!

Chen Meng couldn’t take it anymore, "Guards! They’re insubordinate! Arrest all of them!!!"

Chu Cixie’s gaze passed over everyone and landed directly on Wu Yue, "Wu Yue, long time no see."

Shen Que immediately stepped in front of Chu Cixie, blocking all of his line of sight.

The mere way Chu Cixie was looking at Wu Yue made him want to kill him on the spot!!

Wu Yue smiled, "Hello, Chu Cixie."

Seeing Wu Yue’s attitude, Chu Cixie showed a satisfied smile, like a teacher looking at his most outstanding student,

"You really figured it all out. I knew I couldn’t hide it from you, but you were quicker on the uptake than I anticipated."

"You’re too outstanding, truly a divine masterpiece."

"By seniority, you should call me Master."

"And, Yue Yue,"

Chu Cixie’s gaze cut straight through Shen Que, looking directly at Wu Yue,

"Even your current name, Wu Yue, was given by me."

"I watched you grow up. Without my protection and approval, how could you have remained untouched and unharmed in a place as chaotic as an orphanage?"

"The title of Master, I've earned it."

Chu Cixie’s eyes fell on Shen Que, and he let out a scornful laugh,

"I shouldn’t have spared your life back then. Who do you think you are trying to ruin the masterpiece I’ve carefully cultivated for 15 years."

"You’re not worthy of her. She is destined to become a god, while you’re nothing but a lowly ant."

Everyone glanced at the so-called "lowly ant" Shen Que, "..." Is he for real?

Wu Yue said in disbelief, "Are you sure it doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth calling Shen Que a lowly ant?"

It turns out this Chu Cixie is just her number one fan, ultimate toxic stan, and a stalker to boot.

He simply couldn’t corrupt her mother’s original build, so he decided to reroll a new character, even going so far as to ensure everything would follow his script this time.

He hand-crafted and micromanaged the entire main storyline and all the main NPCs.

But what a shame, even after all that effort,

She still went off-script!
