Chapter 370
If they had comet here only to pass on the message, they wouldn’t have needed three Venerables and a group of Reaching Heaven States. They could have sent anyone.
“What are you suggesting?” Third Uncle said unhappily.
“It’s because of the Gaos’ mercy that your mother can go back to the Dragon Field. Because of you and your father, Gao Yue is trapped in these mountains.”
“It’ll be all right if Gao Yue doesn’t want to go back, as long as she doesn’t regret it. Maybe the next message we bring to her will be an invitation to the funeral.”
The Gaos were sure it was only Jiang Chen’s assumption, so they refuted him with solid facts.
“Son.”
Gao Yue also shook her head at Jiang Chen. She was very worried at the mention of a funeral.
When Jiang Chen was wondering when they would arrive, he was told they had been flying over the clan land for ten minutes.
With the speed of the airship, the vastness of Gaos’ clan land was beyond his imagination.
The center of the clan land was in a mountainous area.
There were numerous high mountains, in the center of which the city was located. Countless thick, iron chains connected city walls to mountain walls.
The city was constructed in the air. Below it was bottomless abyss. If one gazed at it, one would see light red radiances floating through the air.
The airship landed on a peak, then they continued to fly towards the city.
Jiang Chen noticed the sentimental feeling in her mother’s eyes when she saw the city.
“Gao Yue, you were supposed to be the owner of the Fire Phoenix City,” Third Uncle said sentimentally. Then he looked towards Jiang Chen. Hatred and disdain were back in his eyes.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, as if asking, “What can we do about it?” His expression irritated Third Uncle.
They entered the Fire Phoenix City and headed for a courtyard. They went deep inside the city in a hurry.
“Is that… is that young lady?”
“Yeah! It’s Young Lady Gao Yue. I can’t be wrong!”
“Young Lady Yue is back? Young Lady Yue is back!”
People in the mansion looked towards the group curiously. They were all shocked when they recognized Gao Yue.
Jiang Chen was surprised that although ten-odd years had passed, these people were still so excited to see his mother.
Gao Yue looked down. She didn’t dare face these people’s welcome looks.
As the eldest young lady of the Gaos and the purest phoenix blood carrier, she had enjoyed all kinds of honors and had high hopes put on her.
But it also meant responsibility. She should have led the Gaos to develop further.
However, she had let them down. She had ran away with the man she loved.
Although Jiang Chen kept telling her it was the Gaos’ fault, his comforting didn’t drive away her guilt.
They finally came to a room, outside which the higher-ups of the Gaos were standing.
To be honest, it was the first time Jiang Chen had seen so many Venerables standing together.
When they arrived, these people looked over. Gao Yue became the center of attention, but no one spoke.
Gao Yue was unable to speak either when she saw these people.
A cold voice broke the silence.
“Gao Yue, go inside. Your father is expecting you.”
Gao Yue nodded and pushed the door open. Jiang Chen followed, but he was stopped at the door.
“Who are you?” Many people had recognized him, but there were still people who didn’t know him.
“He’s Gao Yue’s son,” Third Uncle said unhappily.
