Chapter 41
“Grandpa, please keep this a secret, since the Jiang Mansion isn’t powerful enough right now,” Jiang Chen said in a low voice.
“Of course. Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle this in the proper manner.”
If people had overheard this conversation, they probably would not know which one of them was the lord of the mansion.
After, Jiang Chen went to the backyard to see Gao Yue. He had to see his mother with his own eyes to ease his worries.
But Gao Yue burst into tears upon seeing him injured. She reproached him, “You stupid kid, why did you come back? Weren’t you out in the mountains?”
If Gao Yue had known Jiang Chen had fought in the main hall and had his life threatened, she, too, would have joined the fight.
However, when she heard Jiang Chen had saved the Jiang Mansion practically by himself, she was seriously shocked.
There was a city called Greenhill beyond the mountains. It was the first city that connected the Hundred Thousand Mountains with the outside world, and also one of the stations where the airship stopped.
An airship was a ship flying in the air, which was the fastest transportation in the Nine Heavens Continent.
The airship Jiang Chen was going to take was called Cloudbuster. Its final destination was the city of Ninedragons, the center of the Province of Widepool. It took off from a fort on the other side of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
And it would pass by Greenhill.
The Cloudbuster came every two weeks. Fortunately, Jiang Chen caught one in time while he was travelling to the city.
A large vessel was suspended in midair by the city walls. A wooden board connected the entrance with the deck.
Not too many people were on board. There were only ten-odd people, including Jiang Chen.
But to his surprise, there were two acquaintances of his on the ship.
They were Meng Fei’s master, Gui Ya, and Su Qian.
Although Jiang Chen had not met Su Qian since he came to this world, her face was very clear in his memory.
Exactly the same as what he remembered, Su Qian was a beauty with fair skin. She had clean skin and an oval face. Her amorous eyes were very attractive.
However, she was wearing very colorful clothes, as if she were afraid that people wouldn’t notice her, and when he thought of what she had done, Jiang Chen had no admiration for her at all.
When these two saw Jiang Chen, they had bewildered expressions.
Gui Ya was more afraid of Jiang Chen after their last meeting. She had doubted whether Jiang Chen really had a panacea master, and had refused to believe there was a class-six or class-seven alchemist in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
But she believed it completely after Jiang Wentian had made a breakthrough.
She was also in the peak of the late stage of the Gathering Yuan State, so she knew the difficulty of breaking through to the Mental Wander State at 50 years old, let alone an old man like Jiang Wentian, who was in his sixties or seventies.
If nothing special happened, after a decade, Jiang Wentian’s state would decline gradually, like his physical condition.
But at that time, he had broken through to the Mental Wander State, so he could enjoy a decade more’s glory.
This could only be achieved by a panacea master.
Gui Ya felt regretful. If she hadn’t offended Jiang Chen, she might have been able to ask him a favor in order to get the same magical panacea to break through her state.
However, she would keep this idea to herself for that moment. At the same time, she warned Meng Fei to stay away from Jiang Chen.
