Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2575

Paul began to explain what Chester had told him earlier in explicit detail without hesitation.

F*ck! Zhang Jue's expression turned cold instantly upon hearing his plan and sneered. "As expected of the Master of Eternal Life Palace Sect, he is quite quick on his feet for plotting out a play like that.” He paused for a split moment considering the next move before ordering, "Now that Master Wilson has it all figured out, why don't you go ahead and do as he said? Lure Chang Er out and come back to me for the elixir, understood?"

"Chester, those people from the Carter Family that you are trying so hard to save will all be beyond saving soon. I will make sure of it..." Zhang Jue thought viciously.

Meanwhile, at the Yach family’s mansion. Darryl had locked himself up in his room, cultivating in hope to recover as soon as possible. Knowing that his sworn brother Chester was now on Zhang Jue's side and that Jewel was dead, this had pushed Darryl to the brink of a mental breakdown. For the rest of the day, he had been cultivating like his life depended on it so that he could regain his power and find Zhang Jue to seek revenge.

In the side hall on the first floor, Zhu Bajie sat alone, bored out of his mind. He had wanted to drink with Darryl until they dropped, but Darryl couldn't spare a second to spend time with him now that he had his mind full of recovery and revenge. Without company, drinking simply didn't seem as fun for Zhu Bajie. Next to him, Cheyenne was serving him tea attentively, not daring to say a word, knowing that her master was in a bad mood.

"Sir, my lady!" A servant walked in and bowed respectfully before saying, "There are visitors out there asking for permission to enter, they said they are from the Holy Saint Sect."

Holy Saint Sect? Zhu Bajie stood abruptly in excitement at the mention of the name as he thought, ‘Chang Er is practicing Taoism in the Holy Saint Sect. Did she send someone over?’ The thought of Chang Er had Zhu Bajie overwhelmed in enthusiasm. He couldn't help but shout, "Quick, send them in now."

Zhu Bajie turned to Cheyenne smiling from ear to ear and said, "My wonderful apprentice, be a good girl and go to your room. There are things I need to discuss with our guests." What happened between Chang Er and him was hardly something to take pride in at the end of the day. He thought it was best to keep his disciple out of the room to spare her from the awkwardness.

"Yes, master," Cheyenne replied reluctantly. Everyone knew that the Holy Saint Sect was a hidden sect of scale beyond imagination; there had been countless legends about them that were known across all of the Nine Continents. She had been dying to look behind the curtains and witness the greatness of these hidden sects with her own eyes. But seeing that Zhu Bajie wasn't up for negotiation, she dared not to disobey and went upstairs.

As soon as she was out of the room, the servant came back and stepped into the hall with two men that were dressed in sect uniform.

"We represent the Holy Saint Sect, our regards to Mister Zhu." Both of the men greeted respectfully in unison. Indeed, these two were sent by Zhang Jue, not from the Holy Saint Sect.

Grinning, Zhu Bajie waved his hand and said, "There's no need for formalities. To whom do I owe this pleasant surprise? Was it Lu Dongbin who sent you, or was it someone else?"

The two disciples cast one another a look before one of them stepped forward courteously and replied, "We dare not to fool Mister Zhu. It was Lady Chang Er who sent us here."

The other disciple immediately followed and said, "Her Ladyship said that there is something she would like to discuss with you in person, Mister Zhu."

"Haha!" Zhu Bajie's heart leaped with joy as he thought to himself, ‘Chang Er really is looking for me! It's only normal for a woman like her to feel lonely, spending all those years alone practicing Taoism in the Holy Saint Sect after Hou Yi 's death. I always knew that it is impossible for a woman to resist my charm.’

"Did Her Ladyship mention what this is about?" Zhu Bajie asked.

"Well..." One of the disciples hesitated for a second before responding. "Her Ladyship did not say."

Instantly, Zhu Bajie was more certain than ever that the reason behind Chang Er looking for him must be something of the romantic nature. Feeling as though he was buzzing with excitement and anticipation, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but to look forward to what could happen.
