<h4>Chapter 1415: Chapter 1428</h4>


    "This matter must bepleted with your help."


    Jian Chunqiu looked at Ye Chen solemnly, pressed his lips tightly for a moment, then said, "To be honest, before I came to find you, I first went to the Man Yue n."


    "Man Yue n?"


    Ye Chen looked at Jian Chunqiu suspiciously, "The one where martial arts can easily be sealed upon entering their territory? The Man Yue n that still lives in a primitive ecological setting and with undeveloped transportation andmunication?"


    Jian Chunqiu nodded, "Yes, the Man Yue n you mentioned, but unfortunately, this time I returned empty-handed."


    "Notpletely empty-handed, after all, the Great Elder of the Man Yue n did tell you about me, right?"


    Ye Chen smiled faintly, his charming lips curled slightly, with a wicked and noble aura like a prince.


    Jian Chunqiu saw this and chuckled lightly, "You’re as clever as ever. Indeed, he told me about you. He said that there is a spell in this world, one that can erase all traces."


    He turned to look at Ye Chen, "When he said that to me, I knew that the person I was looking for was you."


    Ye Chen frowned at Jian Chunqiu; there was something he still couldn’t figure out, "Master, who do you intend to use the spell on? Or has something happened outside?"


    Although the Barbarian Land has undergone drastic changes, with its economy no different from Shanghai, many Huaxia affairs have yet to reach here.


    Jian Chunqiu nodded slightly, "Indeed, the time-space is distorted now. I don’t know if you’ve been affected recently, but now, the Time-Space Mirror has developed six cracks, and some people have been sucked into the vortex, drawn into another time-space."


    Ye Chen took a sip of wine, then stood up and stretched, saying, "The people drawn inside must be quite important to you, right?"


    Jian Chunqiu also stood up, "How do you know?"


    "If they weren’t important, you wouldn’te to me personally." Ye Chen spoke confidently, "Because you know that others wouldn’t persuade me."


    If Jian Chunqiu were to fight someone, he thought it would be no problem. But now, it’s concerning someone he was once most familiar with. To be honest, he wouldn’t feel assured if anyone else came, but having Jian Chunqiu himself was a bit awkward.


    Jian Chunqiu sighed slightly, "Actually, if you don’t want to, you can refuse."


    Ye Chen’s lip curled coldly, "Didn’t you just say that the Great Elder of the Man Yue n rejected you? Since he rejected you, do you have any other choices now?"


    Jian Chunqiu smiled lightly, "And you? Will you agree toe back to Huaxia with me?"


    Ye Chen pressed his lips tightly, Huaxia? He hadn’t heard that word for eight years. Ten years ago, after being expelled from the Sword Pavilion by Jian Chunqiu, he struggled in Huaxia for two years, but those two years were the most painful times for him.


    The pain was something he didn’t want to revisit at all. Aftering to the Barbarian Land, he ordered his people never to mention Huaxia anymore, and gradually, the word disappeared from his life as if it never existed.


    "I know deciding now is difficult, but it’s okay, I can wait."


    Jian Chunqiu slightly lowered his eyes to nce at the time on his phone, then said, "But my time is also limited, I can’t wait too long."


    Because the Time-Space Mirror can’t wait that long! Chu Ge can’t wait that long; Nangong Man Sha can’t wait that long.


    Ye Chen nodded slightly, "I understand."


    ...


    Shanghai.


    Chu Ge walked towards Jinxiu Group with his hands in his pockets, like a leader inspecting his territory.


    Li Hua followed closely behind him, looking worried, "I say, Chu Ge, why don’t we go back? You said if you wander in front of Lady Mu, what if she notices something, wouldn’t it be over then?"


    Chu Ge nced at him coolly and then said, "Even if she notices something, then what? What are you worrying about? I just told you, if she sees through it, that would actually be quite good; it saves me from acting like another person in front of her."


    Li Hua immediately misunderstood his meaning, grabbed Chu Ge’s arm, and asked fiercely, "Chu Ge! You haven’t taken a fancy to Lady Mu, have you? I warn you, Lady Mu is Mr. Chu’s, you can’ty a finger on her! You must not have any crooked thoughts! Do you understand?!"


    Li Hua spoke loudly, and pedestrians nearby heard him and looked over curiously.


    Chu Ge’s expression was obviously calm, but his eyes were filled with danger, "I think your suggestion is pretty good. If I really can’t go back, Mu Bingtong might also be worth pursuing."


    Li Hua was both angry and anxious, hearing Chu Ge say this, he felt even more that Chu Ge shouldn’t go to Jinxiu Group.


    He stepped forward to block Chu Ge’s path, "Chu Ge! I’m warning you,e back with me now! Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!"


    Chu Ge kept his hands in his pockets; being born with a silver spoon, even now, he is the president of a conglomerate with half a city under his control, always followed by many, no one has ever dared shout at him this way.


    His face gradually turned dark, surrounding Chu Ge with ayer of hostility, scaring Li Hua into stepping back abruptly.


    He felt this Chu Ge was no different from Mr. Chu, especially with that strong, oppressive aura.


    Li Hua swallowed hard, "I’m doing it for your own good, no, for the good of all of us. If you cause trouble, I wouldn’t know how to exin it. If Elder Jian gets angry, how would I ount for it?"


    "That’s your own issue!"


    Chu Ge replied coldly.


    Li Hua was momentarily at a loss for words, "But... but... you can’t do anything to damage someone else’s reputation, right? Aren’t you afraid of someone damaging your reputation?"


    Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by that?"


    "You suddenly came to our time-space; surely there’s a special reason, right? Have you thought about someone else in your world living in your ce? Have you thought about the words retribution? If you damage someone’s reputation here, someone might damage your reputation."


    Chu Ge remained silent, retribution?


    He thought about all he had been through, all those years of torment and emotional suffering, perhaps that was retribution too?


    Li Hua noticed Chu Ge’s sudden pause, cautiously looking at him, "If you don’t want to go back, we can go somewhere else to wander?"


    Chu Ge stood in ce, looking up at Jinxiu Group, with Mu Bingtong’s face appearing in his mind...
