<strong>Chapter 738: Chapter 0740: ck Witch’s Purpose</strong>


    Jian Chunqiu burst intoughter upon listening to Yang Ping’s words. He amusingly looked at Yang Ping and said, “What did you just say? That you and Bingtong have a lot inmon? I must have misheard.”


    Without being angered by his attitude, Yang Ping nodded, “We are both outsiders. It’s normal for us to bond over a meal together in the Capital City.”


    Jian Chunqiu shook his head and clicked his tongue, “You are wrong. Although Bingtonges from another ce, it’s not the same for her as it is for you. She has us; she’s not alone. And you, your intent to get close to her was never pure to begin with. Do you think we would tell you where she is now?”


    Yang Ping’s feelings were exposed, causing his heart to skip a beat. Now slightly panicked, he lowered his head and avoided eye contact. With a forced tone, he said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. How could I have any impure intentions towards her?”


    Jian Chunqiu sneered but did not continue to engage with him. Instead, he turned and walked into the Gambling Stone Field.


    Chu Ge stood with his hands in his pockets, quietly observing Yang Ping. Although this young man seemed clear-eyed and handsome, Chu Ge always felt a familiar yet ufortable sensation emanating from him.


    This feeling made him realize that Bingtong being with Yang Ping would surely be dangerous.


    With this thought, Chu Ge coldly said to Yang Ping, “Don’t worry, my fiancée, I will take good care of her myself. As for sharing a meal together, let’s skip that. However, if you have some free time, feel free toe and y at our Gambling Stone Field.”


    After speaking, Chu Ge turned and left, ignoring Yang Ping’s stunned expression, and entered the Gambling Stone Field himself.


    Yang Ping stood in shock, unbelieving as he watched Chu Ge’s departing figure. He muttered, “What? What did you just say? You are Lady Mu’s… fiancé?”


    His voice was faint, and no one responded to him anymore.


    Yang Ping had never imagined that Mu Bingtong would already be betrothed. His heart plummeted from the clouds to the depths of the valley, as he returned to Yang Kun’s vi in a daze.


    At this moment, Yang Kun was sitting in the living room, studying his new medicine. Without even looking up when Yang Ping returned, he asked, “How did it go? Did you manage to cancel your membership?”


    Yang Ping silently nodded. Yes, he had sessfully canceled his membership, but his love had also sessfully been strangled in its cradle.


    Yang Kun didn’t hear Yang Ping’s reply and couldn’t help but look up to see his utterly disheartened face. He asked, “What happened? What’s wrong?”


    Yang Ping covered his face with his hand, painfully rubbing his cheeks, “Turns out Chu Ge is Lady Mu’s fiancé.”


    Yang Kun didn’t quite catch what he said and subconsciously looked up, asking again, “What did you say?”


    “Lady Mu is betrothed, and her fiancé is Chu Ge.”


    Yang Ping covered his face in agony. He couldn’t have imagined such a dramatic twist at the end.


    Chu Ge was Mu Bingtong’s fiancé? Ha, when Bingtong said Chu Ge was just a friend, he had naively believed her.


    Now he had left the sect, and the woman he desired belonged to another, leaving him with nothing.


    He felt like aplete failure in life.


    Yang Ping felt as if he had been heartbroken, and all sorts of negative emotions rose to the surface.


    Yang Kun watched Yang Ping’s agony, his eyes narrowing slightly with a touch of contemtion shing through them. After a moment of thought, he spoke, “Come on, what’s the big deal? She only has an engagement, not a marriage.”


    Yang Ping looked up at him, unable to hide the pain in his eyes, “But since she is engaged, what’s the point of me pursuing her now? Wouldn’t that mean I’d be the third party in their rtionship?”


    Yang Kunughed, “After spending so much time with the ck Witch Sect, it’s one thing if you didn’t learn their martial arts, but howe your IQ has also dropped? In these times, as long as one is not married, everyone has the right to pursue them. Even after marriage, there is divorce. What’s there to be sad about? Nowadays, people take rtionships lightly; they might like someone one second, and the next they could be enemies. What’s there to feel sad about?”


    Yang Ping scratched his head, looking at Yang Kun with suspicion, “Is what you’re saying true?”


    “True or not, these are just how things go in the world. Have you forgotten the principles of the ck Witch Sect? If you desire something, you must use every means to obtain it, even at the cost of your life!”


    Yang Ping looked at Yang Kun uprehendingly, “Since when does the ck Witch Sect have such a principle? I wasn’t aware of this.”


    Of course, the ck Witch Sect didn’t have such a principle. This was Yang Kun’s summary of the sect’s recent actions.


    Sighing, Yang Ping thought Yang Kun’s words made some sense, “So what should I do now? Should I keep pursuing her?”


    Thinking about Chu Ge’s expression when he saw him at the entrance of the Gambling Stone Field, he felt a chill in his heart.


    Against someone that even Yang Kun found difficult to handle, what chance did he have? If it came to a fight, wouldn’t it be like throwing an egg against a rock?


    Yang Kun recognized what Yang Ping was thinking and hummed disapprovingly, saying, “Can you think about something else for once? Why do you always leap to fighting? Do you think fighting with Chu Ge for Lady Mu’s attention will gain her affection?”


    Yang Ping was perplexed, “What do you mean?”


    Yang Kun sighed at Yang Ping’s clueless demeanor, “I really don’t know how you’ve gotten by all these years! Women prefer gentlemen. If you were to fight Chu Ge, not only would you fail to win Lady Mu’s favor, but you would also likely annoy her.”


    Yang Ping fell silent.


    Yang Kun continued, “What you need to do now is tounch a fierce pursuit of Lady Mu, pretending you don’t know she’s already engaged. And by fierce, I don’t mean directly confessing your affection but rather being there for her whenever she needs help, showing her meticulous care. Remember, don’t rush to reveal your love.”


    Yang Ping took Yang Kun’s words to heart, nodding solemnly as if making an important decision.


    So what if she was engaged? He still had every right to pursue her.


    Meanwhile, Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu returned to the Gambling Stone Field, which had resumed normal operations.


    “Uncle Jian, did you notice a special aura about that man just now?” Chu Ge asked.


    After a moment’s reflection, Jian Chunqiu nodded, “Yes, I noticed. It’s seque from his failed attempt to cultivate ancient martial arts.”


    Chu Ge looked perplexedly at Jian Chunqiu, curiously asking, “Seque? What are seque?”
