Jian Chen immediately beamed with joy when he heard Xiao Bao's voice. He was slightly excited as well. He immediately used the Illusory Flash and took a step forward. He left behind an afterimage as he hurried toward the Three Saints Mountain as quickly as he could.
The Heavenly Enchantress returned to her senses and watched Jianchen rapidly approach the mountain. She was conflicted. She was confident that she could stop Jianchen from reaching the island or even keep him outside, but she would definitely end up fighting with Jianchen if she did that. However, she also did not want to stop Jianchen, which made her feel rather conflicted.
Jianchen moved extremely quickly, crossing over twenty kilometers in the blink of an eye. In that moment of hesitation, Jianchen had already arrived on the mountain. It was too late for the Heavenly Enchantress to stop him now.
"Daddy, daddy, you're finally here. I've missed daddy so much," Xiao Bao happily called out. Xiao Bao cheered happily. He jumped down from the rock nimbly and skipped over to Jian Chen. He raised his hands and said, "Daddy, hug me!"
Jianchen showed a sliver of affection that had never appeared on his face before when he saw Xiao Bao's chubby and adorable face. He picked Xiao Bao up in one go. He was so emotional that he was speechless.
Qin Qin stared at Jianchen and Xiao Bao with mixed feelings. Although she had guessed that Xiao Bao's identity would end up like this, it was only a guess after all. She actually felt a faint pain in the depths of her heart when it became reality.
Jianchen's arrival should have been something worth celebrating for Qin Qin, but it was the exact opposite. She was unable to celebrate no matter what. Instead, she became rather gloomy.
Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue failed to notice Qin Qin's change. They had already become stunned by Xiao Bao's words. They stared at Xiao Bao who was in Jianchen's arms and calling him daddy so intimately. Their minds had completely stopped working.
Xiao Qian finally returned to her senses quite a while later. She refused to believe that Jianchen was Xiao Bao's father no matter what. She thought that Xiao Bao had called him by the wrong name, so she hurriedly corrected him, "Xiao Bao, you should call Jianchen brother or uncle, not daddy. You can't call him daddy so casually."
Xiao Bao clung tightly to Jianchen's neck. He felt that being hugged by his father was even more comfortable than being hugged by his mother. It was as if his father possessed something that his mother did not.
"Sister Xiao Qian, you're lying. He's clearly my daddy, not big brother or uncle. I want to call him daddy, I want to call him daddy," Xiao Bao pouted and said to Xiao Qian in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Xiao Yue returned to her senses as well. She glanced past Jianchen and Xiao Bao's faces and gradually became surprised. She said, "Xiao Qian, why do I feel like Xiao Bao and young master Jianchen look so similar?"
Xiao Qian immediately studied them carefully with that. Now that Jianchen and Xiao Bao were together, she did indeed find similarities when she compared their appearances.
Xiao Qian immediately became surprised. She said, "Xiao Yue, now that you've mentioned it, I've also discovered that Xiao Bao and young master Jianchen look far too similar. If it weren't for the fact that I know Xiao Bao's origins, I would have suspected … suspected …" Xiao Qian suddenly felt that something was off when she reached there. The two of them had only heard about Xiao Bao's origins from their master. They did not know whether Xiao Bao's true identity was like what their master had said. Now that Xiao Bao constantly called him daddy as soon as he saw Jianchen, the two of them just happened to look far too similar, like father and son. Xiao Qian immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Hmph, sister Xiao Qian, sister Xiao Yue, you've actually come with mother to lie to Xiao Bao, saying that Xiao Bao doesn't have a daddy. Actually, Xiao Bao has a daddy. Xiao Bao has already found his daddy," Xiao Bao said angrily. Xiao Bao said angrily. His voice was childish, and he did not hide his displeasure towards Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue at all. His arm around Jian Chen's neck tightened.
"Xiao Bao, is what you said true?
Young master Jianchen really is … "Xiao Yue gently covered her mouth as she stared at Xiao Bao and Jianchen with widened eyes. Disbelief filled her face as her heart churned.
"Hmph, Xiao Bao won't lie. Also, my daddy has already given me a new name. It's Shangguan Aojian," Xiao Bao said complacently.
"I- impossible. This can't be true." Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue became stunned. Neither of them dared to believe this. If Xiao Bao's father was Jianchen, then who was his mother?
However, as long as they thought about how their master treated Xiao Bao and the motherly love she would show from time to time, they already had an answer. They just refused to believe it.
The Heavenly Enchantress also returned to Three Saint Mountain. She glanced past Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue with her enchanting gaze and secretly sighed inside. She already knew that Xiao Bao's true identity had been exposed from their expressions.
"Master, Xiao Bao's identity …" Xiao Qian continued to look at the Heavenly Enchantress in disbelief. She wanted to know the answer from her.
The Heavenly Enchantress avoided her gaze. At this moment, she actually did not dare to make eye contact with her three disciples. She seemed very calm on the surface, but she was in a complete mess inside.
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, Qin Qin, the three of you can leave," the Heavenly Enchantress coldly ordered. She was emotionless.
Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue's eyes widened. Although they did not say it out loud, everyone present understood what they were implying. However, what took them by surprise was that their master did not admit or deny it. Instead, she was rather afraid to face them.
They had followed their master for so many years, but they had never seen this side of her.
"Senior Xiao Qian, senior Xiao Yue, let's leave first." Qin Qin went up and pulled the two of them away. Although this matter had not been confirmed, they already had an answer. They just refused to believe it.
The three of them vanished very soon. The Heavenly Enchantress coldly stared at Jianchen. Her gaze contained some anger as she asked, "What are you doing here?" At this moment, the Heavenly Enchantress was indeed extremely furious. Jianchen's uninvited visit had actually exposed Xiao Bao's identity to her three disciples. She had no idea how to face them in the future.
"I've obviously come to see my son. As a father, I have a responsibility to care for my child," Jianchen smiled. He did not care about the Heavenly Enchantress' attitude at all.
"Daddy, you can stay here in the future. You can be with mommy every day and Xiao Bao can see daddy every day," Xiao Bao said in a childish voice. Xiao Bao said in his childish voice. His little mouth was almost touching Jian Chen's face, and his hot breath tickled Jian Chen's cheek.
Jianchen's heart was deeply touched when he saw Xiao Bao's hopeful gaze. At that moment, he was actually unable to turn down Xiao Bao's request. He was tempted to agree. After all, he had only learned that he had a son when Xiao Bao was two or three years old. He had never cared for Xiao Bao in the past, not even knowing that he had a child. He felt like he had let Xiao Bao down.
However, Jianchen was a rational person. He knew that he could not do it right now, at least not right now.
"Xiao Bao, daddy can't stay with you all day because daddy still has many important matters to attend to. However, daddy can promise you that once I'm done with my matters, I'll stay with you all day, alright?" Jianchen gently said. His eyes were filled with love.
