Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses Chapter 282

Chapter 282: I Really Am Not in Danger!

“Master sent us back to protect the young master, saying that he was in danger.”

“We arrived in Tianhai City this morning and t with Uncle Fu. He said that the young master had already returned.”

“So we ca to Linjiang City.” Old Li stroked his goatee and said with a smile.

“Who said I was in danger?” Jiang Che’s face was sowhat puzzled. He didn’t rember ever ntioning such a thing to his grandfather.

“It was Uncle Fu who called the master. Has the young master not encountered any troubleso enemies recently?” Old Li looked at Jiang Che with so confusion, his expression puzzled.

“Uncle Fu…” Hearing the reply, Jiang Che had a realization.

Last ti when that damn Tang Shanshui tried to assassinate him, Uncle Fu wanted to report it to his grandfather, but Jiang Che had disagreed.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Fu, still worried about his safety, secretly called his grandfather.

“It seems I’ve made you two take a trip for nothing. The trouble has already been taken care of.” Jiang Che said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

Tang Shanshui had already been dealt with, and there shouldn’t be any more trouble for the ti being.

“This…” Old Li and Old Chen exchanged glances, unable to believe what Jiang Che was saying.

“But the master instructed us to stay by the young master’s side to protect you.” Old Li said hesitantly. Protecting Jiang Che’s safety was a task given to them by Jiang Jingshan.

“You two don’t need to worry about my safety.” Jiang Che smiled and suddenly released his aura.

An overwhelming pressure, belonging to soone at the pinnacle of Man and Heaven realm, emanated from him.

Although the aura was only revealed for an instant, it still left Old Li and Old Chen deeply shocked.

“Young master… you’re a peak Man and Heaven realm warrior?” Old Li’s face was filled with astonishnt as he looked at Jiang Che in disbelief.

He never imagined that Jiang Che, who was only twenty years old, could reach the pinnacle of the Heaven-Man realm.

How did he achieve this?

Moreover, Jiang Jingshan hadn’t ntioned any of this before. He thought Jiang Che was still the sa boy with no martial abilities as five years ago.

“Yes, I’ve had so fortuitous encounters and reached this level. Are you still worried now?” Jiang Che said with a smile. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to keep these two around.

Having such powerful protectors would naturally be reassuring. But the relationship between these two and his grandfather was sowhat delicate, and he couldn’t casually command them.

So, it would be better to let them return to protect his grandfather. With his current pinnacle Heaven-Man realm strength, he shouldn’t encounter major troubles for a while.

And even if he did, he wasn’t afraid. The system would always be his greatest support.

“Haha…” Old Li gave an awkward laugh, not responding directly.

With Jiang Che’s strength, he indeed didn’t need their protection. But he was still shocked, unable to comprehend how Jiang Che, at such a young age, could possess such high cultivation.

The last ti he saw Jiang Che was five years ago, when Jiang Che was fifteen and had no martial abilities at all.

In just five short years, to progress from an ordinary person to the pinnacle of Man and Heaven realm, what kind of experiences had he gone through?

If he knew that Jiang Che’s cultivation had skyrocketed within the past six months, he might just faint from shock…

Old Chen, who had been silent, also looked at Jiang Che with surprise, though he wasn’t as astonished as Old Li.

To him, it seed only natural that Jiang Che would achieve such cultivation and accomplishnts. Born into a top-tier family like the Jiang family, with the best resources and martial techniques, Jiang Che’s achievents were not unexpected.

It simply ant Jiang Che had an exceptional talent for martial arts, a prodigy seen once in a century.

“In that case, we’ll take our leave.” Old Li put away his thoughts and bowed slightly with a smile.

Since Jiang Che didn’t need their protection, there was no point in staying any longer. It was better to return to the northwest quickly, where Jiang Jingshan was also extrely busy.

“Since you’ve co all this way, stay for a al and rest for a day before leaving.” Jiang Che extended an invitation.

These two had traveled a long way from the northwest. He should at least show so hospitality.

“This…” Old Li hesitated, unsure if they should accept Jiang Che’s invitation.

They had dined at the Jiang family residence before, during the annual banquet hosted by Jiang Jingshan. But now that Jiang Jingshan wasn’t here, they felt a bit awkward.

Although the Jiang family didn’t mind, they were still Jiang Jingshan’s subordinates and didn’t feel entitled to dine with his descendants.

“It’s just a al. Why think so much about it?” Seeing Old Li’s hesitation, Jiang Che couldn’t help but laugh.

He understood what they were thinking. Sotis, he felt these old-tirs were too rigid. Being overly strict about hierarchical relationships could be a hindrance at tis.

“Yes, Old Li, Old Chen, since you’re here, stay for a al. I’ll personally cook today. You can drink a few cups with Xiao Che and give him so pointers on his cultivation.” Su Shanshan stepped in with a smile, also inviting them to stay.

“Then we’ll gladly accept. Thank you, madam.” Old Li agreed without further hesitation.

“Wait a bit while I prepare the al.” Su Shanshan said with a smile, then turned and headed to the kitchen.
