Chapter 368
At daybreak when Jiang Chen made sure no one else would find him, he returned to the Southwind Ridge.
The family was pretty much the same as when he had left, which relieved him.
In the east courtyard, he saw his parents having tea.
Neither the Natural Law School nor the Xia Dynasty were Jiang Qingyu’s concern. He had overturned the imperial power only because it killed his clansmen.
The bright smile on Jiang Qingyu’s face reminded Jiang Chen of one thing. He didn’t have the heart to tell his father about it, but his common sense told him he had to.
So he told his father what had happened to Taoist Priest Skywind.
“Master is dead? Are you sure?” Jiang Qingyu’s face grew solemn with a frown.
Under Jiang Chen’s orders, this news was unknown to outsiders.
Although the Xia Dynasty wasn’t tense at that moment, it would always be better if people thought Jiang Qingyu was at the Southwind Ridge, so he didn’t even tell the Natural Law School about it. He also started to deploy a great formation at the Hundred Thousand Mountains, aiming to build the mountains into an iron fortress.
The strain of yuan stones under the mine at the Southwind Ridge were at their disposal.
Jiang Chen gave his clansmen many martial arts techniques and methods. He was sure the Hundred Thousand Mountains would dominate the Fire Field in a couple decades.
After all this had been done, Jiang Chen went to the capital to help with the construction of the imperial palace and the improvement of its defenses.
By then, the imperial power had been completely subdued by the power of martial arts.
In addition, Jiang Chen saw Wen Xin in the imperial palace. She was already Her Highness of the Xia Dynasty.
The Natural Law School and the Xia Dynasty wanted to fix Jiang Chen up with Wen Xin to strengthen their relationship.
Jiang Chen refused. The dynasty claimed Wen Xin didn’t have to be his wife, and that she could be a concubine.
“I don’t have a wife yet. How can I have a concubine?”
With this excuse, Jiang Chen refused them again.
After that, Jiang Chen hardly saw Wen Xin. Even though they met, they wouldn’t speak.
Five days later, after things with the imperial palace were settled, Jiang Chen returned to the east courtyard of the Southwind Ridge again. He was going to travel to the Dragon Field.
But as soon as he came back, he found the atmosphere at home didn’t feel right.
Those of the courtyard used to be joyful, but at that moment, they seemed depressed.
Fan Tu ran to him as soon as he saw Jiang Chen. He said in a hurry, “Young lord, bad news.”
Then Jiang Chen learned what had happened.
He had thought that killers from the royal family had come again, but it turned out it had nothing to do with the Spirits.
It was the Gaos from the Dragon Field that had paid them a visit!
Is it because my phoenix blood is awake? Jiang Chen thought to himself.
The Murongs and the Sus had come from thousands of miles away as soon as Ning Haotian’s dragon blood woke up.
It had been some time since he was reborn in fire. It was already rather late for the Gaos to come, but Jiang Chen didn’t feel right about it. If they really had come for that, the atmosphere in the east courtyard wouldn’t have been so low.
He asked Fan Tu for more details, but he didn’t know too much. He only knew that they had come regarding Gao Yue’s detoxification.
