Chapter 283: Answer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Xiaonu wasn’t sitting by herself as there was this chubby fatty seated beside her. The fatty kept on smiling obsequiously while talking with Jiang Xiaonu. Jiang Xiaonu acted as though she couldn’t hear him and gazed towards the sky in the northwest direction.

Jiang Yi swallowed his saliva and restrained his trembling before he yelled out, “Xiaonu!”

“Huh...”

Jiang Xiaonu blinked her eyes half-consciously while Qian Wanguan, who was by her side, froze. A pair of narrow eyes turned around with lightning speed while his chubby face instantly blossomed into a smile as he yelled out, “Boss! You are back!”

Jiang Xiaonu finally came back to her senses as her small head vigorously turned towards Jiang Yi. When she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure, her body trembled while tears poured out endlessly.

She stood up with a flop and ran towards Jiang Yi. Halfway through her run, she suddenly stopped and used her big eyes to size up Jiang Yi while she asked softly, “Young Master, is it you? Xiaonu is not dreaming, right?”

Jiang Yi grinned and extended his arms, gesturing for a hug. Jiang Xiaonu didn’t hesitate anymore as she dashed over and hugged Jiang Yi tightly while yelling with a crying voice, “Young Master, Young Master, Young Master!”

Jiang Yi hugged Xiaonu tightly as well. After over a year, Jiang Xiaonu might have been in a coma, but with the nourishment from elixirs, her body grew slightly taller. She wasn’t that young and inexperienced child anymore; she had become a beautiful young lady.

Drenching Jiang Yi’s chest with tears, Jiang Xiaonu seemingly wanted to release all the pent-up worry and longing for the past one month in the form of tears. Jiang Yi didn’t mind it and lightly patted on her back, trying to pacify this pitiful and pleasant little servant girl.

When Jiang Xiaonu had almost stopped crying, Jiang Yi gave a smile and spoke softly, “Alright now, Xiaonu! Young Master is very powerful now, and you don’t have to worry for Young Master anymore. Young Master will never leave your side again either. Be good, stop crying, and go see Grandfather.”

Jiang Xiaonu had actually restrained her tears, but when she turned to see a benevolent old man smiling at her, her tears began to pour out again as she jumped into Jiang Yunhai’s arms and began to wail.

“Boss!”

Qian Wanguan grinned and extended his arms to give Jiang Yi a bear hug. He gave a thumbs-up and said, “Boss, you are too amazing. I, Qian Wanguan, didn’t judge wrongly.”

“You rascal!”

Jiang Yi let out a faint smile and could feel this indescribable comfort when he saw Qian Wanguan’s face. He mumbled for a moment before he asked, “Where is Wushuang? Is he not back at the college yet?”

“He cannot return!”

Qian Wanguan shook his head and sighed. “Yun Fei’s side is at the most crucial phase, and if everything is done right, Yun Fei’s young brother shall become the Crown Price. It would be a great victory for Yun Fei’s bloodline. If things turn out bad, Yun Fei and her young brother might have to die. The Zhan Clan was afraid that Brother Wushuang would be rash; hence, they placed him under house arrest. We do not know where he is now.”

“This...”

Jiang Yi’s expression became dignified as he looked around before he whispered, “Can we go help Yun Fei? If possible, I shall go to the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.”

“Don’t be reckless!”

Qian Wanguan was shocked as he quickly spoke in a serious manner, “Boss, Yun He died in your hands, and his faction is very powerful. If things go wrong, they might even assassinate you. Moreover... such internal strife cannot be interfered. If we don’t do a good job, it might make things worse. We can only wait for the news and hope Yun Fei will emerge without any harm.”

“Oh.”

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose embarrassedly and saw that there were many cadets and mentors who were observing from a distance. He looked over at Jiang Yunhai and Jiang Xiaonu while saying, “Grandfather, Xiaonu, the two of you follow Qian Wanguan in first. Ling Yi, does your group want to go in and rest for a few days before going back?”

“It’s okay.”

Ling Yi bowed with cupped hands and said, “Since Patrol Envoy has safely arrived at the college, we shall go back to report. We hope that Patrol Envoy will return to Stellarsky City soon. Her Highness will be thinking about you.”

Jiang Yi bowed with cupped hands and replied, “Many thanks for the assistance along the way. If time allows it, I will surely return to Stellarsky City! I have troubled everyone...”

“Patrol Envoy is too polite. Everything was part of our duty. Let’s go.” Ling Yi and the others bowed and saluted together before they quickly descended the mountain and vanished from everyone’s sight.

“Let’s go in. I have to go see the Principal first.”

Jiang Yi withdrew his sights and instructed Jiang Yunhai and Jiang Xiaonu while he prepared to make his way into the college. He saw that there were groups of cadets and mentors walking over while opening up a path. Principal Qi was pushing a wheelchair out; on this wheelchair was an aged man who was smiling and looking at Jiang Yi. “Welcome our hero back home.”

“Clap! Clap! Clap!”

Zhuge Qingyun was the first to applaud while Principal Qi and the others followed suit. The thousands of people outside the college gate were all applauding with proud expressions. They were proud that Mt. Spirit Beast College produced such an outstanding cadet.

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose and was feeling rather embarrassed. This was the first time Zhuge Qingyun exited the inner courtyard for over a dozen years, and it was actually to welcome him. This made him feel overwhelmed by the favor of a superior.

“Alright, don’t just stand there in a daze. Principal Qi, go make the arrangements. Jiang Yi, you will push me in!”

When Zhuge Qingyun saw Jiang Yi blushed, he smiled and laughed while beckoning Jiang Yi. The latter quickly walked over and pushed the wheelchair while walking inside.

“Clap! Clap! Clap!”

The cadets were forming up two neat rows in the college while looking at Jiang Yi and applauding with passionate eyes. Many of the female cadets had stars in their eyes as though they were smitten with infatuation. Jiang Yi shrunk his head and hastened his footsteps as he swiftly pushed Zhuge Qingyun back into the inner courtyard.

After walking into Zhuge Qingyun’s residence, he beamed as he looked at Jiang Yi and suddenly spoke, “Jiang Yi, you have done a great job this time. The world is grateful to you, and you have obtained honor for our college, too. Shall I bestow you with the title of Vice Principal?”

“Vice Principal?”

Jiang Yi was surprised as he quickly shook his hand. “Principal, stop joking with me. I am not even seventeen yet, and there are plenty of cadets who are older than me. How can I be a Vice Principal? Furthermore, my strength isn’t even competent enough. You should have known... my strength isn’t sufficient at all and is all reliant on artifacts. Without any artifacts, a Soul Travel Realm martial artist can kill me effortlessly.”

“Very well!”

Zhuge Qingyun stroked his short beard and praised Jiang Yi: “Victorious but not arrogant, defeated but not despairing, young and not frivolous. Jiang Yi, this character of yours is rather good, and you can clearly understand your strengths and weaknesses. This is the way to go further!”

Jiang Yi nodded and replied, “I have returned this time to prepare to seclude myself in the college for a period of time and refine all the celestial stones. I shall breakthrough to the Soul Travel Realm before anything else. Artifacts are eventually not the king’s path. Raising one’s own strength is the proper and true method.”

“That is right.”

Zhuge Qingyun spoke in a serious tone, too, “Attaining Soul Travel Realm can only be considered a small achievement. If you truly want to stand on the pinnacle, you must comprehend the heaven dao and attain Vajra Realm. If you cannot comprehend the heaven dao, you will be an ordinary person for life. After you comprehend the heaven dao... you will be able to shatter the void and become a true god!”

“True god? Do such things really exist? There are only a few Heaven Monarch Realm absolute experts in history, right?”

Jiang Yi lamented before he suddenly spoke in a stern tone, “Principal, are you familiar with my mother? I went to her grave to pay respects but was surprised to realize that her tomb was an empty grave, and there aren’t any remains in it...”

Jiang Yi explained about the incident at Yi Piaopiao’s grave in details. Zhuge Qingyun listened as his eyes glittered with radiance while his sparse brows were closely knitted together.

After listening to the entire incident, he finally shook his head and replied, “I am not that familiar with your mother. We merely exchanged blows and became acquaintances. This matter is not for me to judge. Seclude yourself in the college first, and once you break through to the Soul Travel Realm, you can make a trip to Starfall Island. You might obtain the answer you are looking for.”
