Chapter 351
“How powerful!”
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up. His father’s swordsmanship skill was the best he had ever seen, not to mention that he was a Venerable.
On the other hand, the Dark Soldiers had gotten rid of their first battalion, as well. The mountain town was once again safe for a moment.
“I’ll go help,” Jiang Qingyu said in the air. Then he flew out of the city.
Jiang Chen thought it was a good idea for his father to sound them out, since it was unwise to turn to the warship when they were still ignorant of the dynasty’s battle power.
Then he went to the east courtyard.
After Jiang Chen had left for the Sacred Institute, Gao Yue had come back to the Southwind Ridge from the Redcloud Peak, too.
Jiang Chen was surprised. He said, “Is that what you meant by ‘help’?”
“Yeah. What else could that have meant?”
“I thought you were going to shield the others in the mountains.”
Jiang Chen tumbled to a realization. At the same time, he felt confused. He asked, “But father, you just mentioned we were going to fight and that you’d talked with someone. That wasn’t necessary, was it?”
“I meant the fight with the dynasty. We’ll go to the capital to cut the bullsh*t emperor’s head off. What do you think?” Jiang Qingyu smiled.
“Ah!”
Jiang Chen looked over. He was shocked. That was something he’d never thought about.
“The dynasty sent Xue Jingtian to subdue me. Now they’re sending troops here, intending to eliminate my clansmen. Son, do you think I should let that go?” Jiang Qingyu said seriously.
“Definitely not.”
Jiang Chen suddenly came to himself and said excitedly, “Father, was the leader of the Natural Law School the one you talked with?”
“That’s right. As long as you agree to be the next leader of the Natural Law School, they’ll be on our side and fight with us.”
Then Jiang Qingyu shifted his attention to Gao Yue again. He put his arm around her thin waist and said caringly, “Yue, you’ve lost more weight.”
“You stink.” Gao Yue was embarrassed. She frowned as if she really hated the smell.
“Ahem, really not my fault. The Black Dragon City didn’t allow me to bathe.”
Not until then did Jiang Qingyu start to think about his appearance. He touched his messy hair and wished he could wash right away.
But he suddenly paled and grasped Gao Yue’s wrist hard. He said, “Yue, why are you in the Gathering Yuan State? We agreed you would never fight again.”
Jiang Chen was full of regret. He came forward and said, “Father, it’s my fault.”
Then he told his father about the fight with Li Qin.
“It was unexpected. There was nothing we could do to stop it from happening.” Gao Yue was quite optimistic. Among the three, she cared the least.
“I tried so hard to practice in order to take you back to the Gaos and tell them you’d made the right choice so that they could give us the antidote you needed. I didn’t expect…” Jiang Qingyu looked to be in pain. If Li Qin had been alive, he would have killed her and cut her dead body into thousands of pieces.
“I’m fine. My lifespan has recovered. As a Gathering Yuan State, I don’t have to fight anymore. It’s all right,” said Gao Yue.
“Yue, you’re from the Gaos. Your phoenix blood is the purest. I don’t want you to be ruined by my love. That’s the last thing I want to see. Back then, you shouldn’t have taken the poison without telling me first.
“If you’re with me, but become an average woman living in the mountains, I won’t forgive myself,” said Jiang Qingyu.
“I’m really fine,” Gao Yue said again.
“Ahem. Ahem.”
Jiang Chen coughed again. Before Jiang Qingyu looked over, he hurried to take a pill out and said, “Mother, father, I’ve refined the antidote. Just take it.”
Under Gao Yue and Jiang Qingyu’s surprised gazes, Jiang Chen said again, “Mother’s status deteriorated due to the poison, so I added something into the antidote. If it works as expected, mother’s strength will recover. If it doesn’t, there won’t be any secondary effects, either.”
“Jiang Chen, really?”
Gao Yue and Jiang Qingyu looked at the pill. They couldn’t believe the thing they’d dreamt about had appeared like this.
