Chapter 26
“You—you—you!”
Cao Chenghua pointed at Xiao Hai, totally speechless. Who would ask him to refine panaceas in the future?!
Xiao Hai was so embarrassed that he wanted to slap himself. He hadn’t expected his secret to be found out. After all, he was only beaten for insulting Gao Yue.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to have been keeping quiet about what he had found out.
“You are not my apprentice anymore. From now on, I have nothing to do with you.”
“Master!” Xiao Hai screamed, horrified.
Cao Chenghua ignored him. He took a deep breath, looked over to Jiang Wentian and said, “Lord Jiang, it’s my bad. I’ll compensate for all your losses in the past two years.”
“Sure.”
…
“Eh? Looks like the guy from the Sus also left.”
Fan Tu noticed that Su Qun had left and was amused.
“The guy from the Sus?”
Jiang Chen didn’t know they had sent someone over, but he didn’t take Fan Tu’s words seriously.
“Son, your grandpa asked you to see him in his study after everything is over.” Gao Yue was walking gently. She was so proud of her son that she couldn’t help but smile.
However, all of a sudden, there was sadness in her eyes.
Jiang Chen knew what she was thinking. She was wishing his father could be here.
…
Jiang Chen went to Jiang Wentian’s study when the annual dinner was over.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Wentian’s back. He said to Jiang Chen, “You want to save your father, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know how powerful the Black Dragon City is and how your revenge will bring disaster to the Jiangs?”
Jiang Wentian turned around. He looked at Jiang Chen with a cold and serious face.
“I will save my father,” Jiang Chen said.
“You should know that the Nings are a hundred times more powerful than us. The Black Dragon City is even more powerful than the Hundred Thousand Mountains.” Jiang Wentian’s face became more and more serious. “Leave the Southwind Ridge alone.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“You still want to save him?”
“Of course!”
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said, “I will definitely go back to the Black Dragon City to save my father, whatever it may cost me.”
“Fine!”
Jiang Wentian burst into laughter and said, “If you said you wouldn’t, I would have slapped you to wake you up. But it looks like I don’t have to do that.
“Courage is the most important quality for a man.”
In fact, Jiang Chen had already guessed what his grandpa was going to say. He knew what kind of person his grandpa was after seeing his decision to change the surname of the family.
“But revenge takes time. You will need to grow up, step by step, and be humble. The Swordquest School has offered to accept you as their disciple, but I don’t want you to go, since the Black Dragon City will be informed.”
“I understand.”
So Jiang Chen refused Murong Feng and Li Lie with the excuse that he didn’t want to leave his mother alone.
Murong Feng and Li Lie were merely disciples of the Swordquest School, so they didn’t insist, but to them, it was a pity that Jiang Chen had refused.
In the end they told Jiang Chen that if he changed his mind, he was welcome at the Swordquest School anytime.
