Supreme Sword God

Chapter 979: Chapter 978: Schemes on All Sides, Seamless Plan

"Isle Master Mei, I apologize for any offense earlier," Ye Chen cupped his fist as he spoke.

Originally, I wanted to mention my relationship with Old Wang to get closer, but it seems things might be smoother than expected.

"Young Master Ye, I’ve heard so much about you." Mei the Third Aunt greeted him warmly, her gaze constantly assessing Ye Chen.

This is the young lord.

Truly a dragon among men, so handsome!

"Isle Master Mei, what is the reason behind your attack on Aurora Island?" Ye Chen asked directly.

Mei the Third Aunt replied, "A year ago, Plum Blossom Island discovered an underwater ruin and found a very special divine stone inside. During its transport, the stone was lost.

Recently, I received news that the person who snatched the stone was Bai Yi from Aurora Island.

If Young Master Ye has a good relationship with Aurora Island, I can immediately withdraw my people and not pursue the matter further."

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered. "That news was intentionally leaked by Bai Yi."

Mei the Third Aunt was puzzled and asked, "What is going on?"

Ye Chen: "It might be related to me. Bai Yi went to great lengths to keep me on Aurora Island, then lured you here so I couldn’t leave."

"That Bai Yi has a lot of nerve!" Mei the Third Aunt’s killing intent flared up instantly.

Ye Chen: "..."

I’ve been schemed by Bai Yi.

Mei the Third Aunt is so enraged?

Could it be due to my relationship with Old Wang?

Impossible!

Honestly, I barely have any relationship with Old Wang. We just met, got acquainted, and then I inexplicably received help from him several times.

"Elder Mei, I have a question." Ye Chen, no longer addressing her as Isle Master, chose a more intimate term, Elder.

Mei the Third Aunt retracted her killing intent. "Young Master Ye, please speak. I will answer whatever I can."

"Is there someone secretly helping me?" Ye Chen didn’t beat around the bush, directly voicing his suspicion.

Mei the Third Aunt paused, then said, "Young Master Ye, just remember this: the Seventy-Two Islands are your most reliable retreat. I can’t say more, but when the time is right, you’ll know everything."

Ye Chen: "Do you know Yun Ying?"

Mei the Third Aunt’s expression noticeably changed, but she did not answer Ye Chen’s question.

Ye Chen: "I am her son."

Mei the Third Aunt: "Young Master Ye, should we suppress Bai Yi of Aurora Island now?"

Ye Chen noticed Mei the Third Aunt change the subject and didn’t press further, though he had a rough idea by now.
