Chapter 522: Advent of Uncle Tian
The ancestor’s face suddenly began to flow with emotions, and the elderly face of the ancestor grew bright-red because of this excitent. It was truly hard to imagine that such a high and mighty Saint Ruler would suddenly lose control of his emotions like so.
“Jian Chen, if... if you can... if you can truly bring this senior to help our Huang family, no matter what request it is that you have, my Huang family will do its best to satisfy you.” The ancestor clasped onto Jian Chen’s shoulders with both hands and spoke in an exuberant voice.
“Senior, rest assured. This ti, I, Jian Chen will do whatever it takes to invite that man over. When the ti cos, I hope that you will rescind the betrothnt of Huang Luan.” Jian Chen spoke earnestly.
“No worries, no worries at all. As long as that senior helps my Huang family, then the Huanggu family wouldn’t even dare let a fart out after we cancel the betrothnt.” The ancestor replied. At that mont, he felt no more hesitation and had no more qualms about offending the Huanggu family.
A short mont later, the ancestor seed to have thought of sothing, and imdiately had a rather artificial look on his face, “However, Jian Chen. You must first let see this senior for to agree. As long as I can get this senior to personally agree to help, only then will I consider this to be a done deal.”
“Very well, I will first return to invite this senior!”
After leaving the mountain peak of the ancestor, Jian Chen returned to the Huang family’s villa where Huang Luan was and walked to the second story of the pavilion.
There was still the lingering scent of orchid in the room, and upon entrance, Jian Chen felt rather intoxicated by the sll. Jian Chen didn’t know that this was the sll of orchid to begin with, and neither did he know what the importance behind this essence was.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Huang Luan seed to have realized that it was Jian Chen from her spot next to the window and whirled around to look expectantly at him. A trail of tears could still be seen on her face in a rather pitiful site.
“You’re back; did you think of a way?” Huang Luan asked expectantly. Despite her being so unwilling to have Jian Chen use the Qinhuang Kingdom to help her family at the cost of several power-holders being unsatisfied with him, she still maintained a glimr of hope and so expectations.
“I’ve already convinced your grandfather who has agreed with as well. If I can find soone even stronger than the Huanggu family, he will rescind your betrothnt to the Huanggu family.” Jian Chen explained.
Jian Chen’s words made Huang Luan feel more worried for him rather than herself. Pacing to Jian Chen, she spoke in concern, “Will the Qinhuang Kingdom support you in this? If they participate in this matter, they will offend a few Saint Rulers, even the Huanggu family would be an injured party.”
Jian Chen laughed, “I’m not that foolish. Don’t worry. This matter won’t be sothing the Qinhuang Kingdom will participate in. Even I don’t wish for the troubles of the Qinhuang Kingdom to be increased. However, whether I can invite this senior or not, I am still not completely sure myself. In short, I will try my best. I ca here so I can say goodbye for now. To finish this problem, I must hurry on back.”
“Then you have to take care of yourself!” Huang Luan’s heart trembled with affection. At this current mont, she was truly moved by Jian Chen.
With a nod of his head, Jian Chen turned around to leave without another word.
Afterward, Jian Chen looked for the five Imperial Advisors currently participating in a banquet with the rest of the Huang family. Dragging them away from the dining table, they all bade farewell to the head of the Huang family and hurriedly left.
Sniffing the scent of the essence fragrance on Jian Chen, Qing Shaofan gave a deep look to Jian Chen with a mischievous smile, “Honored Imperial Protector, why is there such a fragrance to you? Were you perhaps doing sothing bad in the Huang family for you to leave in such a worry?”
Jian Chen had been worrying about several serious matters and had completely disregarded everyone’s teasing. With a calm voice, he responded, “There is so matters we need to hurry back to, that is why we left in such a hurry.”
Seeing the grim look on his face, Xiao Tian and the others lost their teasing mood and grew somber. Speaking for everyone, Xiao Tian asked, “Honored Imperial Protector, what in the world has happened that made you hurry like this?”
“It’s not quite a short story, but it’s also not quite a long story. In short, it is a rather important personal matter to .” Jian Chen spoke vaguely.
Xiao Tian and the others realized that Jian Chen was not going to explain to them, so they didn’t bother to continue asking. Instead, they focused on traveling.
The six of them traversed thousands of ters through the sky at a trendously fast flight speed. Beneath their feet was the endless sea of clouds and even the sky in front of them was so vast that it could not be seen in completion. One would only be able to see the setting sun falling down beneath the horizon.
Two days later, the group returned to the Gesun Kingdom. Jian Chen took a quick bath in a nearby river to wash away the remaining sll on him before putting on a new pair of white clothes to return to the Changyang clan.
“This lowly officer pays his respect to the fourth master!”
Within the Changyang clan, there was practically no one who didn’t know Jian Chen. Whether it was a guard or servant, they all bowed respectfully in salute to Jian Chen as he traveled into the manor.
After his return to the Changyang clan, Jian Chen didn’t even stop to see his parents and headed straight to Ming Dong’s place of rest. Xiao Tian and the others finished their mission and scattered instead of continuing to follow Jian Chen.
“Eh? Jian Chen, when did you return?” Jian Chen’s sudden arrival surprised Ming Dong. There was a happy smile on his face for a mont, but when he saw the solemn and grim look on Jian Chen’s face, Ming Dong couldn’t help but feel the smile on his face disappear slowly. “Jian Chen, did the Huang family make trouble for you?” In Ming Dong’s mind, Jian Chen was a friend that had experienced life and death with him; therefore, he felt extrely close to him. He was his most trustworthy friend and would not permit any single person to wrong Jian Chen.
Jian Chen shook his head gently and sat down at the table. Personally pouring a cup of tea to drink, he spoke seriously, “Ming Dong, there is sothing I require your help with!”
Ming Dong sat in the seat across from Jian Chen and looked at Jian Chen with upraised eyebrows and a rather dissatisfied look. “Jian Chen, are you or are you not my sworn brother? Using such a manner to speak with , just say whatever you need to say with . Don’t go beating around the bush like we are strangers. As long as it is your problem, whether it requires to scale a mountain of blades or dive into a sea of fire, I, Ming Dong, will not shirk my duties.”
Jian Chen gave an apologetic smile and imdiately cut to the chase. “Ming Dong, I wish to have your uncle Tian co forth and help settle a matter impartially.”
Hearing that Jian Chen actually needed his uncle Tian, Ming Dong imdiately sensed that the matter was serious and grew solemn in accordance to the situation.
Afterward, Jian Chen gave him a detailed explanation about the matters with Huang Luan and her family to Ming Dong without any detail left out. After hearing all of this, Ming Dong’s grim expression faded away and he instead stared at Jian Chen with a aningful look. Smiling mischievously, he said, “Just what was I thinking? So it was this type of matter. Jian Chen, for the sake of making such a fuss for a woman you have t only several tis in the past, don’t tell you’ve taken a fancy to soone else’s wife-to-be!”
Jian Chen gave a hollow laugh, “It isn’t as complicated as you think it is. No matter what is said, Huang Luan and I had traveled together for a short duration in rcenary City. I do not wish to see her wed to a person she does not love.”
“Haha, Jian Chen. You don’t need to be so embarrassed. Polygamy on the Tian Yuan Continent has been a common occurrence for a very long ti. Even your own father has married four wives. With your strength and appearance, if you didn’t find several girls, then it would be a huge disservice to that rather envious face of yours.” Ming Dong teased.
Changing the subject, Jian Chen spoke, “Ming Dong, would it be possible for your uncle Tian to co out? Aside from him, there is no one else that I feel can accomplish this.”
Jian Chen knew a decent amount of Saint Rulers in his personal network. Aside from the four Imperial Protectors of the Qinhuang Kingdom, there was still the elder Xiu from Longevity Valley and Ming Dong’s uncle Tian. The four Imperial Protectors were symbols for the Qinhuang Kingdom and couldn’t simply act as they pleased.
Elder Xiu had already hidden himself away for many years although Jian Chen knew that he was at the very least a Saint Ruler. After such a hermit lifestyle, Jian Chen did not wish to be the one to break that way of life for the elder. He did not wish to add to the burdens of elder Xiu and had decided not to ask him. Furthermore, elder Xiu’s true strength had not been ascertained by Jian Chen, so Jian Chen did not know whether or not the elder would be able to be of much help.
All that was left was uncle Tian. The ti when the Saint Ruler recognized Ming Dong, Jian Chen had been quite shocked. To have even Heaven Saint Masters as servants, uncle Tian had lived by himself in a floating shrine as its master. This type of setting was sothing that neither the Saint Rulers of the Sect of Dragon and Tiger nor the Qinhuang Kingdom possessed.
More importantly, Ming Dong’s uncle Tian had beco a Saint Ruler 5000 years ago. Now 5000 years later, just what terrifying level of strength would he reach now? Whatever the case, with uncle Tian’s efforts, there would be no way that he would make no headway in 5000 years.
Moreover, uncle Tian was seemingly a person of rcenary City. Although a rcenary was a rather free occupation, Jian Chen had learned sothing after he visited rcenary City. Although the Tian Yuan Continent had such a free occupation like being a rcenary, rcenary City was still a very large organization of rcenaries. Even the elders within it were Saint Rulers of large amounts and had other idle Saint Rulers as close friends.
With these thoughts, Jian Chen figured that rcenary City was an extrely strong power. It was, after all, the place that had been created by the continent’s number one individual, Mo Tianyun.
“Jian Chen, I’ve said before. As long as it is your problem, then I, Ming Dong, will scale a mountain of blades and dive into a sea of flas without hesitation.” Ming Dong took out a jade piece, “My uncle Tian gave this to . He instructed to just put so Saint Force into this to notify him should I ever co across a problem I cannot resolve.”
Clenching tightly onto the jade piece, Ming Dong began to circulate his Saint Force into the piece and allowed it to be sucked in. After the Saint Force was absorbed, the originally dull jade piece began to light out brilliantly.
“Ming Dong, where is your uncle Tian now?” Jian Chen asked out of curiosity.
“Probably in rcenary City. Ever since you entered the holy lands, uncle Tian and I went to my parents and took them to rcenary City. However I didn’t return with him and remained in the Gesun Kingdom. After I accomplished the mission you gave , I stayed here.” Ming Dong spoke.
Jian Chen pointed at the jade piece Ming Dong and asked, “rcenary City is extrely far away from here, will that thod really work?”
Ming Dong gave a proud smile, “Don’t worry, Jian Chen. You don’t know how amazing my uncle Tian is. I have full confidence that he won’t trick .”
As soon as Ming Dong finished speaking, the space in front of them imdiately began to surge and swirl. Then, as soon as the two n realized what was happening, a rip in space had suddenly appeared. In an instant, a doorway had been ford from the space, and from the other side of the doorway was a rather gigantic palace hall.
Right in front of Jian Chen’s stunned eyes, a white-robed, middle-aged man ca walking forth from the doorway. This man had an ordinary facial appearance, but the way the space seed to unaffect him while he floated above the ground gave him a supernatural sensation.
“Uncle Tian!” Upon seeing this man, Ming Dong called out affectionately as if greeting a family mber.
