Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

Chapter 69 I've Overturned Your Broken Sedan Chair (Please Subscribe)

Huangfu Xiaochan was now excited.

He had waited too long, searched too long, and the persistence and expectation born of blood ties erupted at this moment, almost breaking through his usual melancholy and forbearance.

And now, he has finally arrived—

Huangfu Xiaochan forcibly suppressed his turbulent emotions, his gaze fixed on the sedan chair, his voice trembling slightly, yet he tried his best to remain calm: "You've finally arrived!"

The sedan curtains were drawn low, concealing the person inside. Only a deep, calm voice, seemingly imbued with a strange magic, emanated from within—it was Huanyu Qizang: "So, you've been waiting for me all this time?"

This calm question, however, seemed to carry an all-knowing mockery, which stung Huangfu Xiaochan's heart even more.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I have no other desires but to see your true face."

This was the simplest verification, and also his deepest obsession—to confirm with his own eyes whether the person in the sedan chair was his long-lost, unknown elder brother, Huangfu Shuangren.

There was a moment of silence inside the sedan chair, then the deep voice rang out again, carrying an almost cold detachment and arrogance: "Only one person in the world can see the true face of the universe's wonders!"

"Who?" Huangfu Xiaochan pressed, his heart pounding.

"Huangfu Shuangren." The person in the sedan chair slowly uttered this name, his tone calm, yet it was like a thunderclap that exploded in Huangfu Xiaochan's ears!

Huangfu Xiaochan shuddered, his eyes flashing with disbelief, and his voice changed: "Hmm?"

What does that mean? Only you can see yourself?

"Slap, slap, slap."

Just as the silence began, a crisp, clearly mocking round of applause suddenly rang out.

Ye Jinming, who had been leisurely sipping tea on a large blue stone nearby, put down his teacup and began clapping slowly, shaking his head and wearing an undisguised mocking smile: "Applause, please! I never imagined that anyone in this world could be so narcissistic, self-deceiving, and self-righteous to such an astonishing degree! Only they can see themselves? Ha, this logic is absolutely brilliant!"

As he spoke, Ye Jinming deliberately dragged out his words, his gaze sweeping up and down the sedan chair as if he could see through the curtains to the person inside. His tone grew increasingly mischievous: "Does Your Excellency often reward yourself like this in front of the mirror?"

"Night Embers—"

one"

The sedan curtains suddenly moved without any wind, and a chilling killing intent erupted from within, almost tangible, as Huanyu Qizang gritted his teeth and said, "Be careful what you say!"

Faced with this almost tangible killing intent, Ye Jinming didn't even raise an eyebrow. "What? You're allowed to do this kind of cosplay, but I, a bystander watching the show, am not allowed to speak the truth? Or perhaps, I've hit the nail on the head!"

"Hmph!" A heavy, cold snort came from inside the sedan chair. The killing intent receded like a tide, but the chilling anger still lingered.

Clearly, the Universe's Wonders forcefully suppressed the urge to attack immediately. His voice returned to its previous low tone, but it was even colder: "Sharp tongue and quick wit, you're just indulging in empty talk. Today, I'm not here to have this pointless argument with you."

"Lord of the Remnant Forest, if you wish to see Huangfu Shuangren, first kill Gudu Que to avenge him!"

"Hmm?" Huangfu Xiaochan hesitated. "Well, Gudu Que was indeed wrong, but Huangfu Shuangren is kind-hearted and would certainly not want to see his fellow disciples killed. I spared his life and imprisoned him in the Remnant Forest to end his days; that is already punishment!"

"Ha!" A short, sarcastic laugh came from inside the sedan chair, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Excessive mercy is cowardice. The martial world is a vicious path, and only killing can stop evil. Back then, Dugu Que killed his master to seize power and even murdered his own junior brother. After that one strike, Huangfu Shuangren was no more in the world. But if you are really a member of the Huangfu family, I can tell you some news that you will definitely be interested in: the Blade Plague has reappeared in the martial world."

"Sword Plague——"

Huangfu Xiaochan, who had been suppressing his emotions, suddenly unleashed his aura the moment he heard this name!

A violent, chaotic, and destructive aura, like out-of-control explosives, suddenly exploded outwards from him!

The Mysterious Treasury of the Universe seemed quite satisfied with Huangfu Xiaochan's reaction. A low chuckle came from inside the sedan chair: "Interested in going to the Serene Abode? I'll be watching the other side of benevolence, the arrogance!"

After saying that, the sedan chair bearers dragged the sedan chair, as if they were about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, Huangfu Xiaochan called out to him, staring intently at the sedan chair. His right hand was already raised; he wanted to lift the curtain, to see what was going on, to ask for clarification, but he hesitated—

Seeing Huangfu Xiaochan's hesitant yet forcefully restrained demeanor, Ye Jinming, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Alas, Lord Lin, you are still too gentle. You should know that good people don't live long in the bitter realm.

However, since the Lord of the Remnant Forest has not taken any action, I will do it myself.

Once the thought was made up in his mind, Ye Jinming no longer hesitated. He casually slapped his right hand towards the sedan chair in mid-air!

"Master Lin, since you can't bring yourself to do it, then I'll lend you a hand!"

"boom-

'

A concentrated and powerful purple palm strike, as fast as lightning, tore through the air with a whistling sound, and slammed towards the sedan chair of the Universe Treasures without warning!

"Um?"

A muffled groan, a mixture of shock and anger, came from inside the sedan chair!

Clearly, the Universe Wonders had not anticipated that Ye Jinming would launch such a direct and tyrannical attack at this moment!

With a loud bang, the palm strike landed squarely on the side of the sedan!

The seemingly sturdy sedan chair, under Ye Jinming's powerful palm strike, disintegrated like a block being smashed by a giant hammer!

Even with good intentions, one can easily misunderstand the wonders of the world.

Amidst the flying dust and wood chips, a figure, looking somewhat disheveled, leaped from the shattered wreckage of the sedan chair, staggered to the ground, and barely managed to steady himself.

The moment the dust settled—

The man was dressed in a magnificent robe and held a feather fan in his hand. Although his appearance had changed, he still bore a slight resemblance to Huangfu Xiaochan.

Especially his eyes, which were now burning with raging anger and icy killing intent, staring intently at Ye Jinming, who was getting up from the bluestone and leisurely dusting off his hands.

This person is none other than Huangfu Shuangren, who has been hiding for many years and has transformed into the Saint of Yiliu, and is also the older brother of Huangfu Xiaochan, the Lord of the Remnant Forest.

"Night, Ashes, Dawn—" Forced to reveal his long-hidden true colors, Huangfu Shuangren's voice trembled slightly with extreme rage—each word was squeezed out as if from between clenched teeth, "You, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"It really is you! Brother!" Huangfu Xiaochan exclaimed, his face a mixture of shock and realization.
