Maxwell Jing overheard the conversation in the carriage and shook his head again. How come His Highness turns into such a rogue every time he meets Her Highness? Of course, he only dared to think this in his heart.
Yuna Ye’s face changed when she heard Ethan Gu’s blunt rejection. Her eyes dimmed with sorrow. Shuyang Ye, seeing his daughter’s heartbreak, couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. “Left Guardian, what do you mean by this? What’s wrong with my Yuna?” His daughter had set aside her pride to show kindness to a man, yet he still rejected her. In Shuyang Ye’s eyes, Ethan Gu was truly ungrateful!
Ethan Gu glanced at him and replied, "Miss Ye is a wonderful person, but it has nothing to do with me."
Maxwell Jing quickly dismounted and smiled apologetically at the furious Shuyang Ye. "Sect Master Ye, please forgive him. He’s just a blockhead, can’t figure things out!" He shot Ethan Gu a helpless look, thinking to himself, is he trying to make the Ghost Guild even bigger?
Judging by Shuyang Ye’s current state, he might lose his reason and drag the entire Ghost Guild into trouble. If he really dared to confront the Guildmaster, given the Guildmaster’s temper, he’d probably wipe out Ye Sect. After all, Yuna Ye had saved him once—destroying her whole sect would be far too ruthless!
Ethan Gu caught Maxwell Jing’s ‘ungrateful’ look and raised his eyebrows. He wasn’t as scheming as Maxwell thought—he was just telling the truth, hoping Yuna Ye would give up. It wasn’t about using the Sect Master’s hand to destroy Ye Sect. If Shuyang Ye really did something reckless, Ethan would naturally stop him!
To Yuna Ye, Ethan Gu’s words were deeply hurtful! But she truly liked Ethan, so even though she was heartbroken, she had no intention of giving up. She bit her lip and spoke, "Brother Ethan, I don’t ask you to like me, but you can’t stop me from liking you. I just want to treat you well, I don’t expect anything in return!"
"Yuna..." Shuyang Ye was even more exasperated. His daughter was usually so clever—how could she be so foolish now?
Yuna Ye looked at him, her gaze firm. "Father, I want to go back to the Ghost Guild with Brother Ethan. I’ll come visit you when I can!"
"What?" Shuyang Ye cried out in shock, clearly not expecting Yuna Ye to make such a decision!
Those standing at a distance couldn’t hear the conversation inside, but faint laughter drifted from the carriage, stirring their curiosity. It seemed Ghostmaster Damien Gray and Cloud Guildmaster Morgan Shangguan were on rather good terms!
However, recalling how the two always seemed to tease and provoke each other, they dismissed the idea. Still, with the treasure at stake, their minds grew more alert. Ghost Guild and Cloud Guild were both formidable—no matter what, their cooperation must be stopped!
Ethan Gu frowned—was the Guildmaster really planning to bring Yuna Ye along? Though he felt reluctant, since it was Damien Gray’s decision, he would not oppose it.
Seeing Ethan Gu raise no objection, Yuna Ye broke into a joyful smile. Ethan Gu asked, “Can you ride a horse?”
“I…” Yuna Ye frowned and shook her head.
Ethan Gu’s brows furrowed even tighter than hers. Damien Gray and Morgan Shangguan, in the carriage, would never tolerate being disturbed; Yun Su might seem alone, but Ouyang Lin was actually with her. He didn’t want to share a horse with Yuna Ye, and Maxwell Jing certainly wouldn’t let anyone else into his arms. It was truly a troublesome situation!
Shuyang Ye gave a cold snort and ordered someone to prepare a carriage—he was still worried about his precious daughter suffering any hardship.
He and Yuna Ye had originally planned to leave tomorrow; today was only for seeing them off, so naturally, they hadn’t made arrangements for transportation.
Little Nine didn’t come to see Maxwell Jing off, since Maxwell Jing was now the Ghost Guild’s Right Protector! No one quite knew when this title appeared, but it wasn’t surprising—Ghostmaster Damien Gray was always a mystery, so it was only natural that those around him were mysterious too.
Though the group was smaller than on their arrival, the atmosphere was lively. Liu Feng and Wanqi Rou laughed and chatted, growing even closer than before. Morgan Shangguan no longer tried to manage everything—everyone had their own path to walk, and she couldn’t worry about them all.
This time was different from before—their destinations diverged, and their numbers dwindled along the way. At the fork between Liu Manor and Cloud Guild, Liu Feng glanced at Wanqi Rou’s reluctant face, suddenly dismounted, and walked up to Morgan Shangguan and Damien Gray’s carriage to propose marriage to Morgan Shangguan!
