Chapter 391: Why Follow In Their Footsteps?

Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly, and rays of sunlight landed gently on his face through the window. The rays of sunlight weren't glaring at all, and they brought a warmth that made Ye Guan feel comfortable.

He smiled to himself. This was the first time he had slept for so long. His life in the Guanxuan Universe had been too fast-paced for him to rest properly. He would either be fighting someone or was on his way to fight someone.

He had become a mortal, but his heart had never been more at peace.

It seemed pretty nice to live an ordinary life.

He pushed away his blanket, got up, and stretched, feeling completely refreshed. He looked in the direction of Mu Wanyu’s bedroom and walked over before knocking gently on her door.

He didn't receive a reply. Did she go somewhere?

Ye Guan looked around, and his gaze landed on the dining table. There was a bowl of noodles and a glass of milk on the table. There were two dollars and a glass of milk on the same table.

He sat down at the dining table and did not hold back as he wolfed down the bowl of noodles and drank the glass of milk in one big gulp. He put the key in his pocket, and after doing the dishes, he decided to leave the house.

He froze upon opening the door. A young woman was standing in front of him, and she was an extremely beautiful young woman. Ye Guan couldn't think of any other words to describe her other than extremely beautiful.

The beautiful young woman appeared to be about twenty years old. Her jet-black hair cascaded smoothly down her shoulders, and she had an oval-shaped face. Her skin seemed as smooth as jade, and her profound eyes beneath her long eyelashes resembled the vast starry sky.

Her gaze seemed capable of seeing through everything.

Her long and tight-fitting black evening gown made her look sexy. Her shoulders and collarbones were exposed; her cleavage could be seen as well. In other words, she had the face of an angel but the body of a demon.

If Mu Wanyu were to be described as gentle and elegant, then the young woman in front of Ye Guan could be described as sexy and fatal.

The young woman frowned upon seeing Ye Guan.

"Who are you?" she asked with her right hand balled into a fist.

Ye Guan realized that the young woman had to be Mu Wanyu’s housemate, so he hurriedly said, "Miss, I'm Mu Wanyu’s friend!"

"Are you her boyfriend?" she asked.

Ye Guan nodded.

"You're her boyfriend?" the young woman asked once more.

Ye Guan frowned. Isn’t that what I just said[1]?

The young woman frowned deeply, feeling extremely baffled and confused. When did Wanyu get a boyfriend? And they’ve already moved in together? I thought we agreed not to bring any boys home?

The young woman seemed annoyed.

Ye Guan noticed that and hurriedly said, "Miss, I'm not going to stay here for a long time."

The young woman noticed the blanket on the couch and said, "You slept on the couch last night?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

The young woman frowned and asked, "The two of you don’t sleep together?"

"Huh?" Ye Guan stammered in confusion. "S-Sleep... together?"

The young woman was confused. She wanted to ask more questions, but her phone started ringing. She stepped to the side and headed to her own room.

Ye Guan shook his head before walking out of the apartment.

His number one priority was to find a job! He didn't feel good about mooching off of someone else. Moreover, Mu Wanyu wasn't exactly right. Ye Guan left the building and started walking out of the residential complex.

Ye Guan was full of confidence. He was the King of the Guanxuan Universe, after all, so he was confident that he could survive even without his cultivation base.

Soon, it was evening, and Mu Wanyu sat across from her housemate.

"What?!" Mu Wanyu’s eyes widened. "Su Zi, he said that he's my boyfriend?"

Su Zi munched on some chips before saying, "I asked him, and he said yes."

Mu Wanyu fell silent.

"He's not?" Su Zi asked.

"Of course not." Mu Wanyu chuckled bitterly and recounted her meeting with Ye Guan.

Ye Guan nodded and started eating with relish.

Mu Wanyu smiled at how Ye Guan was enjoying the meal that she had made for him. She seemed to have recalled something as she turned to look at her housemate and said, "Su Zi, can you help him find a job?"

Su Zi made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan before saying, "It’s tough to find a job for someone with no skills."

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

Mu Wanyu sighed.

Just then, Su Zi realized that Ye Guan would stay here until he had gotten himself a job, and Su Zi didn't want to live with a man under the same roof!

Su Zi asked, "Are you willing to take on any job?"

"Yes," Ye Guan replied with a nod, "I'm willing to do anything."

Su Zi said, "I can let you work at the company where I am working, but you can only work as a security personnel. Do you know what a security personnel does?"

Ye Guan turned to look at Mu Wanyu with a questioning look.

Mu Wanyu explained, "She means a security guard..."

A security... guard? Ye Guan was baffled as he asked, "What does a security guard do?"

"They protect people," replied Mu Wanyu.

"Okay, I can do that!" Ye Guan exclaimed. He couldn't access his cultivation base and the power of his fleshly body, but his combat sense and techniques were still there. The Blue Planet was also teeming with mortals, and Ye Guan reckoned that they weren't his match.

Su Zi glanced at Ye Guan and said, "First, you need to change your outfit."

"What should I wear?" Ye Guan asked.

Su Zi merely stared at Ye Guan, but she was feeling slightly exasperated.

"Su Zi, I have classes tomorrow, so I don't have time to take care of him. Can you take him away with you?" asked Mu Wanyu.

"Okay," Su Zi replied after much hesitation. She was unwilling, but she decided to agree for the sake of getting rid of Ye Guan as soon as possible.

Ye Guan smiled lightly at Su Zi and said, "Thank you."

Su Zi merely nodded.

Just then, Mu Wanyu tugged on Ye Guan’s sleeve and asked, "Do... do you know what a boyfriend is?"

Su Zi stared at Ye Guan as well.

Ye Guan frowned and said, "Isn't that a boy who is a friend?"

Mu Wanyu fell silent.

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before asking, "Does it have a different meaning?"

Mu Wanyu quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no. You got it correctly."

Ye Guan nodded and continued slurping his noodles.

This little bastard... Mu Wanyu lampooned and sighed.

The meal was soon over, and the three retired for the night. Ye Guan was sprawled out on the couch and was staring at the chopsticks on the dining table.

Soon, he closed his eyes and raised his right hand. He put his two fingers together and flicked them gently toward the chopsticks. The chopsticks trembled as they floated ever so slightly before falling back to the plate.

Ye Guan smiled slightly. My Sword Dao is still here!

Was he no longer a swordsman without his cultivation? Of course not!

His Sword Dao seemed to have become even purer after he had lost everything.

What would it take to be mortal and ephemeral? Was it being weak? No! Ye Guan finally understood what it meant to be mortal and ephemeral. The crux of both words was becoming an ordinary mortal with ephemeral lives.

So what if he had lost his cultivation base? He could always start anew.

He could rebuild his Sword Dao. The vast expanse already had the Four Swords standing at the insurmountable peak. Why would he follow in their footsteps? Instead of trying to climb up the same peak as them... why couldn't he make his own peak?

Rumble!

Sword intent burst out of Ye Guan, and at the same time, five pairs of eyes in the Blue Planet turned toward the apartment where Ye Guan was staying.

1. the term boyfriend doesn't exist in Guanxuan Universe, so Ye Guan thought it means a male friend, like boy friend with the space? xD ?
