Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen and the others were still in the room comforting Ling Long and her daughter when a voice rang out from outside.
"Family head, this subordinate has an extremely urgent matter to report."
Changyang Ba used his eyes to indicate for a maid to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, an old man who looked like a housekeeper quickly walked in with a flustered expression. He urgently said, "Family head, something bad has happened. A large group of people from the Huayun Sect is currently approaching our Changyang Prefecture."
Hearing this, Changyang Ba's expression changed slightly. He waved his hand to have the housekeeper leave. His brows were tightly knitted together as he said in a heavy voice, "I reckon that news of Xiang 'er's return has already been leaked. They are coming for Xiang' er. They still haven't forgotten about the matter from several years ago."
Apart from Jianchen, everyone's expressions changed. Bi Yuntian's face was even somewhat pale. She hastily walked over and tightly held onto Jianchen's hand, her expression filled with worry. The two of them had been separated for several years. Now that they had finally reunited, Bi Yuntian could not bear for Jianchen to once again wander about by himself.
Jianchen could clearly feel that his mother's hand was constantly trembling, causing him to involuntarily feel pain in his heart. He softly said, "Mother, don't worry. There won't be a time for this child to do that."
"Husband, quickly call Chang Bo over. We've already heard about how Chang Bo displayed his might at the northern fort. With Chang Bo present, even if the two experts from the Huayun Sect personally come, they won't dare to act rashly," Yu Fengyan hastily said, her expression filled with worry.
Changyang Ba shook his head, "Chang Bo and all the Heaven Saint Masters of the Kingdom of Gesun are currently receiving the Qin Empire's Imperial Advisor. This is the best opportunity for us to establish a relationship with the Imperial Advisor of the Qin Empire. No one will give up on this rare opportunity. I believe that Chang Bo won't be returning any time soon."
"What do we do? Our Changyang Prefecture only has one Heaven Saint Master, Chang Bo. Now that Chang Bo isn't here, how are we going to deal with the Huayun Sect? Right now, the Huayun Sect is already in Lore City and will arrive in Changyang Prefecture very soon. There isn't much time left." Yu Fengyan's face was filled with worry. Although Jianchen was not her son, she was also extremely concerned about Jianchen, treating him as if he was her own child.
"Second aunt, you don't need to worry. I will deal with the Huayun Sect," Jianchen said.
"Foolish child, don't speak nonsense. The Huayun Sect is powerful. How can you deal with them?" Bi Yuntian softly said as she looked at Jianchen with a doting gaze. Her hands were tightly wrapped around Jianchen's arm, afraid that Jianchen would leave again like he did a few years ago.
"Mother, your son is no longer afraid of the Huayun Sect." Jianchen defended himself. The warmth of his family had melted Jianchen's heart. He seemed to have become a child, completely concealing the imposing aura he possessed outside.
Changyang Ba said, "Xiang 'er, you don't need to worry. Our Changyang Prefecture has obtained a precious secret codex, and our strength has greatly increased compared to a few years ago. Although we have lost quite a few people on the battlefield, the Huayun Sect has also suffered quite a few losses. Adding on the fact that you, Chang Bo, have grasped a Heaven class Battle Skill, our Changyang Prefecture's overall strength is not much weaker than the Huayun Sect's. You can stay here at ease. The family will deal with the Huayun Sect's matters."
"Hmph, the Huayun Sect is the number one sect in our Kingdom of Gesun. Even the imperial family is afraid of its strength. Xiangtian cut off the arm of the Huayun Sect's sect master's only son, Cheng Mingxiang. The Huayun Sect will definitely not let this matter rest. If our Changyang Hu doesn't back down, there will most likely be a fierce battle today. That would be very unfavorable for our Changyang Prefecture. In my opinion, we should hurry and let Xiangtian go hide. We don't want to implicate our entire family and cause so many innocent people to die because of him," said Bai Yushuang with a displeased expression.
"How can we do that? Xiangtian has already been wandering outside for several years. He has suffered so much, barely surviving several times. He has only just returned. How can we be so heartless as to let him leave again?" Yu Fengyan immediately said.
Bai Yushuang coldly snorted. She stared at Yu Fengyan and righteously said, "Open your eyes and see who is standing beside you. Could it be that you don't see such a big living person? No matter what he has experienced outside, isn't he still living well? He has already endured several years, so why would he care about such a small amount of time? If he continues to stay here, he will only cause trouble for our Changyang Prefecture and implicate our entire family. Second sister, I know you are worried about Xiangtian, but I am doing this for everyone's sake."
"All of you, shut your mouths!" Changyang Ba suddenly shouted, shocking everyone. His expression was very ugly as he looked at Bai Yushuang. His face was filled with unconcealable anger as he shouted, "Everyone, stop arguing. I have already made my decision. Although the Huayun Sect is powerful, our Changyang Prefecture is not so easy to bully. Xiang'er, you stay here and don't go anywhere. I will immediately go gather people. I want to see just how arrogant the Huayun Sect is. Right now, our Changyang Prefecture does not fear them." After saying that, Changyang Ba waved his hand and left.
Very quickly, the originally quiet Changyang Prefecture became lively. The people in the room could hear the constant shouts coming from outside, as well as the sound of footsteps. Changyang Hu's servants and guards were gathering from all directions.
Bai Yushuang's expression was very ugly as she looked at Jianchen. She coldly snorted, "You really are my Changyang Prefecture's star of calamity. Since you were young, you only know how to cause trouble everywhere. Our Changyang Prefecture will sooner or later be destroyed by your hands."
Yu Fengyan and Bi Yuntian's expressions became very ugly. Bai Yushuang's words were a bit too heavy.
Changyang Hu, who was lying on the bed, couldn't take it anymore. He turned his head and stared at Bai Yushuang fiercely. He said, "Third Aunt, how can you say that about Fourth Brother? What happened back then was Cheng Mingxiang's fault. It was not Fourth Brother's fault at all. Fourth Brother went to find Cheng Mingxiang to avenge my useless elder brother. Speaking of which, it was all because of me. If you want to blame someone, blame it on me."
"Third Sister, Ah Hu is right. What happened back then was not entirely Xiangtian's fault. Moreover, Xiangtian was able to cut off the arm of Cheng Mingxiang, who had the strength of a Great Saint, with the strength of a primary Saint. Such a powerful strength is rare in our Kingdom of Gesun. We should be happy instead of targeting Xiangtian like this." Ling Long also spoke. In the past, her attitude towards Jianchen was neither cold nor indifferent. But today, Jianchen had saved her son, which made her feel very grateful. Therefore, her favorable impression of Jianchen had improved a lot.
Seeing that the three sisters were standing on Jianchen's side, Bai Yushuang knew that she would only be asking for a rebuff if she continued. She coldly snorted and left without saying anything.
Ling Long came to Jianchen's side and intimately held his hand. She softly said, "Xiangtian, don't mind her. Don't take your third aunt's words to heart. You don't need to worry about the Huayun Sect. With you, Chang Bo, they won't dare to be too presumptuous. However, this Chang Bo really hid his strength deeply. I didn't expect him to be so powerful. If it wasn't for the news from the northern fort, none of us would have known. If we had known earlier, you wouldn't have fallen into such a situation a few years ago. It has really been hard on you these years." Now, Ling Long's attitude towards Jianchen had completely changed.
Jianchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Eldest Aunt. The current Xiangtian is not so easy to bully. Third Aunt will regret it sooner or later."
"Mother, you underestimate fourth brother too much. Fourth brother's talent has been extraordinary since he was young. He's much more powerful than me. Even I, as his elder brother, am far inferior." Changyang Hu chuckled as he lay on the bed. He felt extremely happy when he mentioned this, because he thought of his fourth brother's strength as a Radiant Saint Master. A Class 6 Radiant Saint Master had never appeared in the Kingdom of Gesun, and it was extremely rare on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Ling Long was extremely happy when she saw the happy smile on her son's face. This was because she knew that ever since Jianchen had spoken with Changyang Hu alone, her son had truly given up on seeking death. He had regained the vitality of life and planned to live well. Immediately, her gratitude towards Jianchen became even greater.
.....
At the same time, in the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Gesun, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun held a banquet to entertain the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire. There were not many people at the table, only around a dozen. However, aside from the king, everyone else was a peak expert of the Kingdom of Gesun. All the Heaven Saint Masters in the Kingdom of Gesun had gathered here. A banquet of such a high level could not be attended by just anyone. Even the princes and princesses of the Kingdom of Gesun were no exception.
During the banquet, all the experts of the Kingdom of Gesun proposed toasts to the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire. All of them were extremely respectful and courteous. They were all doing their best to curry favor with the five Imperial Advisors.
Although they were all on the same level, their statuses were completely different. The authority they wielded was incomparable as well. On one hand, those who could become Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire were all outstanding individuals. It was difficult for them to find an opponent in the same level as them. They could basically challenge experts who were a level higher than them. Coupled with the fact that all five of them knew battle skills, their battle prowess had reached a whole new level. This was the reason why the Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire had such a noble status.
"Esteemed Imperial Advisors, I thank the Qin Empire for their help. If the Qin Empire needs our help in any way, the Kingdom of Gesun will definitely do our best to help. Although our Kingdom of Gesun is weak, we can still do our best to help," the King of the Kingdom of Gesun said.
The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire all spoke politely with smiles on their faces. Since the five of them didn't know the relationship between the Imperial Protector and the Kingdom of Gesun, they didn't dare to offend anyone in the banquet. If they offended someone who was related to the Imperial Protector, they would be in serious trouble. The five of them followed Jianchen from the Qin Empire to cultivate a good relationship with Jianchen. None of them wanted to make a mistake in this matter.
