The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 991 - 971: Arrange a Meeting Between Ye Hu’an and Ye Huan!
Jiang Shishuang frowned tightly, her tone serious.
"I've always kept a low profile, why would I be bored enough to flaunt the Soul-Suppressing Jade and bring trouble upon myself? Alright, let's sleep early, don't say too much."
Ye Huan rolled his eyes irritably, extinguishing the campfire before crashing onto the couch for sleep.
Huan was somewhat speechless, truly wondering if Jiang Shishuang's brain had been fried by a high fever.
Why has she been acting so mysteriously lately?
Jiang Shishuang's expression was extremely complicated; her earlier words meant that she wanted to keep the secret of the Soul-Suppressing Jade with Ye Hu'an and not let the Sequence find out!
And by helping Ye Hu'an keep this secret, it meant she was intentionally not advancing the task progress of collecting the seven Divine Jades, which indirectly implied disloyalty to the Sequence that issued the task!
But she couldn't accept that her relationship with Ye Hu'an would turn from friends into sworn enemies who turn red-eyed at the sight of each other, so she made this decision, which involved betraying the Sequence!
She could only comfort herself by thinking that even if the Sequence got hold of Ye Hu'an's Soul-Suppressing Jade, it couldn't possibly snatch all the remaining six Divine Jades.
This was a mission that was impossible to complete from the start!
In that case, does it make any difference whether there's progress in the mission or not?
Absolutely no difference!
It would be better to give up the Soul-Suppressing Jade and have Ye Hu'an, this genius, sincerely serve the Sequence!
...
The next day.
In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, the top deck of the Diamond Queen was already bustling with activity.
This was the last day of the cruise voyage.
By six in the evening, the Diamond Queen would complete its fifteen-day voyage and arrive at Yokohama Port in Japan.
The Great Emperor's Banquet would be held at noon. The ship's staff were urgently arranging the banquet venue, laying red carpets on the upper deck, setting up red lanterns, hanging red streamers, and arranging tables, chairs, and pre-banquet snacks.
Over the tables and chairs, naturally, were red cloths symbolizing festivity.
This was the first Great Emperor's Banquet hosted by Ye Huan the Great Emperor, so it naturally had to be a bit festive and grand.
Because the restaurant kitchen was busy with the banquet dishes, dining wasn't provided today; instead, several large pots of plain porridge were placed on the upper deck for the guests to enjoy.
"Ye Hu'an, my young friend, have you thought more about what I mentioned to you? Although I, Li Qiufeng, am not a top figure, I do have some power in Huaxia. As long as you acknowledge me as your godfather, I'll not only marry my precious daughter to you but also support you in reaching the pinnacle of life!"
"Young Ye, we also believe you have great potential and don't want such talent to be lost in the vast sea of people. We care about your talent, so we wish to acknowledge you as our godson and god-grandson; please consider it carefully. Just call me grandpa, and my billion-dollar fortune will be yours to inherit!"
"Ye young brother..."
Around a round table in the center of the deck, a group of wealthy merchants gathered, all earnestly urging Ye Huan, who was having porridge, with similar proposals, either wanting to be his godfather or god-grandfather!
Ye Huan's face was as dark as Judge Bao's, completely ignoring these people.
The wealthy merchants noticed his impatience yet kept talking.
They knew they weren't well-connected enough to curry favor with Ye Huan the Great Emperor, so they sought to slightly adjust their focus and win over Ye Hu'an, a young man who shared a name with Ye Huan the Great Emperor and was full of talent and potential.
Cultivating such a young man carried risks, but if he succeeded, the benefits they'd reap would be unimaginable!
Besides, a sense of humor ran through their hearts.
If they could get the namesake of Ye Huan the Great Emperor, Ye Hu'an, to obediently call them godfather or god-grandfather, it would be akin to Ye Huan the Great Emperor becoming indirectly their godson or god-grandson, right?
They were thrilled just thinking about it and couldn't wait for Ye Hu'an to call them dad!
However, they also understood that things could not be rushed.
After all, who acknowledges someone as a father so easily?
"Young man, don't rush to refuse us. Think it over! After the Great Emperor's Banquet, we'll come back to discuss it in detail. You can make your choice then; the one you choose will be your godfather or god-grandfather. By the way, let me tell you in advance, I am the third elder of the Dragon Gate Outer Sect. Soon I will break through to the Divine General level. If you kneel and kowtow three times to me, calling me grandpa, I might consider passing all my knowledge to you."
In the crowd, an old man with an immortal aura, wearing a white robe, with white hair and a youthful face, stroked his snow-white beard and spoke with a smile to Ye Hu'an.
Ye Huan raised his eyebrows repeatedly; if it weren't a special period, he would really want to reveal his identity and drive these bothersome guys away.
Ridiculous.
An elder from the Dragon Gate Outer Sect, lacking even Divine General strength, had the nerve to want this young master of the Dragon Gate and half-step Divine King-level power to call him grandpa and learn his skills?
If he really did learn them, wouldn't that be self-destruction?
"Hey, aren't you sick of it? We're eating! Can't have kids yourself? Infertile, are you? Why chase after others to adopt as a godson?!" Beside him, Jiang Shishuang, disturbed while drinking porridge, was very displeased and impatiently chastised these wealthy merchants, feeling they must have a screw loose.
"You young girl, what kind of attitude is this!"
"Once Ye recognizes us as his godfathers and god-grandfathers, you'll be our goddaughter-in-law and god-granddaughter-in-law!"
"Absolutely no sense of hierarchy!"
"Forget it, let's not argue with you!"
"Ye young brother, consider it yourself, and after the banquet, tell us what you decided!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The wealthy merchants initially wanted to scold Jiang Shishuang, but her icy glare turned them cold all over, so they quickly left these words before turning away, leaving Ye Hu'an time and space to contemplate.
It wouldn't be too late to win him over after the Great Emperor's Banquet!
Currently, the main focus was the Great Emperor's Banquet!
There was uncertainty whether Ye Huan the Great Emperor would attend this banquet.
If the Emperor were to come, they'd surely kneel and call him dad or grandpa to foster a closer relationship with the Emperor and bring godson Ye Hu'an along to meet the imminent ruler of the world, the man at the top of the global pyramid, just to familiarize themselves a bit!
However, only one person knew Ye Huan the Great Emperor would not come.
The so-called Great Emperor's Banquet was merely a grand deception.
By the deck railing, Shen Taoyuan held a wine glass, and a flash of anger crossed her gaze at Ye Huan.
That slap from Ye Huan yesterday was not light, and her face still ached a bit.
She swore to take advantage of the battle between Sid and Ye Hu'an, to reveal Ye Hu'an's disguise so that all the present merchants could see just how heinously ugly he was, to the point of needing a false identity, claiming she'd wet herself instantly upon seeing his true face!
Shen Taoyuan took a deep breath, suppressing her ire, and coldly spoke to Kaman beside her: "Young Master Kaman, after the gift-giving ceremony, you may let Sid take action!"
