Chapter 1004: Let's Go to Confinement

"Miss, if I go into confinement, who will take care of you?" Zuer still looked unimpressed; she likely knew nothing of the methods of the Five Elements Pavilion.

"That is not something you need to worry about; I will take care of myself." Chen Yu gave her a cold glance: "The Five Elements Pavilion is a place that specializes in dealing with all kinds of demons and monsters. I hope you won't cry when you get there."

"What a joke, what kind of scenes haven't I seen? Hmph, confinement is just confinement. I've been locked up in the Dark World for thousands of years; I really don't take a mere Five Elements Pavilion seriously." Zuer looked disdainful.

She was unhappy with Chen Yu; after all, if it weren't for Chen Yu, she might still be a free woman now.

"Very well." Chen Yu grinned: "Then I will send you to the Five Elements Pavilion so you can properly experience the methods of the Five Elements Pavilion."

People from the Five Elements Pavilion came to take her away, and Chen Yu specifically instructed them not to go easy on her just because she was a woman, and to use the harshest methods to deal with her.

"Brother Chen, when are you going to the Southwest border?" Yu Sichen turned back and asked.

"Probably in a week. I'll go after I finish handling some matters in Shengjing. The situation there isn't very clear right now, and it involves mysterious forces from abroad. Dragon Breath is currently negotiating with the other side and gathering information. If that doesn't work, we will use force," Chen Yu said.

"There are still some people in Jizhao Nunnery waiting for Reincarnation. I will come find you after I finish handling these matters," Yu Sichen said: "Take good care of yourself."

"You too." Chen Yu looked deeply at Yu Sichen.

Just at this moment, a car drove over. The door opened, and Ye Qingning leaned forward and stepped out from inside.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Ye Qingning, Chen Yu's expression was somewhat awkward. His relationship with Yu Sichen was right there, and now that he was with her and seen by Ye Qingning, he felt quite like a thief with a guilty conscience.

"To see you, of course." Ye Qingning smiled at Chen Yu, then looked at Yu Sichen with a meaningful gaze, and then smiled: "Miss Yu, I've long heard of your name."

"Hello, Miss Ye." Yu Sichen nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Yu, feeling quite embarrassed.

Ye Qingning was the official fiancée, and her own relationship with Chen Yu was also somewhat unclear; it was indeed awkward to meet.

"Chen Yu, you go back first. I'll have a chat with Miss Yu," Ye Qingning smiled.

"This..." Chen Yu was taken aback, not understanding what Ye Qingning wanted to do.

"Don't worry, it's not what you think." Ye Qingning saw the unease in Chen Yu's heart, smiled at him, and left holding Yu Sichen's hand.

Chen Yu looked at their backs with some depression, then shook his head helplessly.

"Miss Ye... do you have something to say?" Yu Sichen said somewhat self-consciously.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to chat with you." Ye Qingning smiled and said: "You don't need to feel embarrassed. I know about your relationship with him."

"Ah?" Even though Yu Sichen's state of mind had changed and she no longer showed her emotions on her face, she was still shocked by this sentence.

Ye Qingning was the official fiancée about to be engaged, and she was favored by He Lingyun. She now frequented the He Group and was clearly the future daughter-in-law chosen by He Lingyun. Now that these words came out of her mouth, it made Yu Sichen somewhat uneasy.

"No need to be surprised. Actually, how could I not know? An outstanding man will inevitably have many women around him." Ye Qingning smiled lightly: "I heard of you a long time ago; you are the recognized talented woman of Shengjing."

"This talented woman title of mine is just a hollow name; it was only hyped up by my parents in order to marry me into a wealthy family," Yu Sichen said gloomily.

"No, if you were useless, even with hype, it would be impossible for everyone in Shengjing to know you. I used to envy you too." Ye Qingning shook her head: "You are sensible, gentle, and firm. Many girls envy you."

"Envy me?" Yu Sichen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Who knows what I go through every day?"

"The past is in the past." Ye Qingning held Yu Sichen's hand and smiled: "The only thing I can help Chen Yu with is his career. I can ensure the Chen Family, Ye Family, and He Family have no worries and reach new heights, leaving him with no worries behind him."

"But I know his pursuit does not lie there. Career matters can be left to me, but in this world, the strong are as numerous as clouds. If he wants to become stronger, there are still many obstacles on the road, so these things can only rely on you."

"Miss Ye..." Yu Sichen's expression was complex. She had originally thought Ye Qingning came to mock her and assert her status as the official fiancée, but she had not expected her to say such things.

"I dare not ask for anything. I only ask to be by his side and be able to help him. Please rest assured, I..."

"That's not what I meant." Ye Qingning smiled and linked arms with Yu Sichen: "The road he has to walk in the future is still very long. So, you understand what I mean. From now on, we shall call each other sisters and work together to help him grow."

Yu Sichen gripped Ye Qingning's hand tightly, and she nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will do my utmost."

Chen Yu, who was on the side, had been feeling anxious, but to his depression, the two women were actually chatting and laughing, walking over arm-in-arm, looking extremely intimate.

"Brother Chen, I'm returning to the Mountain first." Yu Sichen gave Chen Yu a sweet smile, then turned and left.

"Let's go back too." Ye Qingning looked at Chen Yu, then got into the car.

"What did you two talk about just now?" In the car, Chen Yu finally couldn't hold it in.

"Nothing much." Yu Sichen glanced at Chen Yu, then smiled lightly: "We were just having a heart-to-heart."

"Is it really just a simple heart-to-heart?" Chen Yu found it hard to believe her words.

"Yes, it's just that simple. What else did you think we would do?" Ye Qingning smiled.

"But... do you know about my relationship with her?" Chen Yu decided to confess.

"I know." Ye Qingning spat out two words, leaving Chen Yu stunned.

"I understand her situation. Do you know, Chen Yu, when my grandfather was almost hopelessly ill, you were the one who appeared before my eyes." Ye Qingning looked at Chen Yu and said gloomily: "In the Underground Dark River, you saved me from danger multiple times."

"At that time, you were the hero in my eyes, and it was from that moment on that I vowed to only recognize you for the rest of my life." Ye Qingning said: "When you were trapped by a Heart Demon during your cultivation, I willingly gave you my most precious thing."

"At that time, I was thinking that as long as you allowed me to be by your side, even if I had no status or position, I would be willing. Si Chen is the same as me." Ye Qingning said: "When she was at her most desperate and painful, you were the one who saved her, so there is no room for anyone else in her heart."
