135 I Am His Father

There was no choice but to admit that the members of the Jiang Clan worked in a highly efficient way. It was merely two hours before Jiang Rentu returned. He had investigated everything that happened to Jiang Yi when he was at the Skyplume City and Mt. Spirit Beast College.

After listening to Jiang Rentu's detailed report, Jiang Bieli's expression turned grave. His tiger eyes shot out chilling light as he remained silent for a long time. He then sighed subtly after a short moment, "Yi Piaopiao. You are too ruthless. Are you trying to take revenge on me by not letting me know Jiang Yi's existence?"

Jiang Rentu stood by the side quietly and waited for Jiang Bieli to finish lamenting before asking, "My Lord, according to the information, His Highness seems to be cultivating a mysterious technique art or an insane martial skill. Could it be handed down by… Madam Yi?"

"Not sure!"

Jiang Bieli shook his head and spoke seriously, "Yi Piaopiao has too many secrets on her. I am not even sure of her origin up until now. If she was the one who passed it down to Jiang Yi, why would she seal Jiang Yi's dantian?"

"Huh!"

Jiang Rentu was rather confused. He blinked his eyes and asked, "What shall we do now? His Highness is too stubborn and seems to dislike you. I am afraid, he will not willingly return to his origins. How about… personally making the move, My Lord? To go see him?"

"Why should I go see him?"

Jiang Bieli glared at Jiang Rentu with an indifferent look and spoke coldly, "I am his Father, and he is my son. When was a father forced to give in and see his son? If he wants to return, then he will. If not, he can just die outside!"

"Sigh…"

Jiang Rentu lowered his head and sighed. Jiang Bieli mentioned that Jiang Yi's temperament was as stubborn as Yi Piaopiao but didn't mention that it was also similar to him. He knew Jiang Bieli very well to know that he was a prideful individual. For him to condescend and bring Jiang Yi back was never going to happen.

Jiang Rentu stayed quiet for a moment before he asked again, "Shall we send two secret guards to protect His Highness's safety?"

"There is no need!"

Jiang Bieli gestured with a wave. "We already gave him a lot of respect. Since he is so stubborn, then don't bother about him in the future. Let him go venture in the outside world. When he is obstructed by a wall and has no other ways, he will naturally return to me."

"Okay. Then this subordinate shall take his leave first!"

Jiang Rentu saw Jiang Bieli turned and place his hands behind his back while staying silent. He had no choice but to dismiss himself.

Jiang Bieli had a rather sincere attitude this time, but it was a pity that Jiang Yi wasn't tactful. Jiang Bieli was now obviously infuriated. The pride of the no.1 combatant of the Divine Martial Kingdom wasn't something people were allowed to trample on—even if it was his own flesh and blood.



This incident spread throughout the entire Divine Martial Kingdom like wildfire and continued onto the entire continent.

Jiang Bieli was the no.1 martial expert of the Divine Martial Kingdom and also one of the top fighters of the continent. His matters had always been closely monitored by the major clans from the six vassal state kingdoms. Jiang Yi's name soon appeared on the information provided to various Great Clans.

Especially within the Divine Martial Kingdom, Jiang Yi's name was gaining fame like the rising sun. The commotion within the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch was too massive and couldn't be suppressed. It gave rise to an uproar when various clans received the information.

A trash at the first stage of Cast Tripod Realm just half a year ago? Now, he was now unrivaled in the Purple Mansion Realm? His appearance strength was only at the seventh stage of the Cast Tripod Realm?

When everyone recalled that Jiang Yi was Jiang Bieli's son, they didn't find it odd. A dragon would give birth to a dragon, a phoenix would give birth to a phoenix. The son of a mouse would naturally know how to dig a hole. It would truly be odd if Jiang Bieli's son was a trash when he was a generational prodigy.

Jiang Yi wasn't aware of anything that happened in the outside world. Even if Qian Wanguan wanted to tell him, he didn't want to know.

The day he got back to the Mt. Spirit Beast College, he straight away went into seclusion and cultivated. He had obtained plenty of treasures with Su Ruoxue and had passed this Blood Purge with flying colors. After he was promoted to an Ordinary Cadet, he didn't have to hunt demonic beasts anymore. Apart from having his meal or sleeping, he would spend the rest of his time in the cultivation room.

According to Su Ruoxue, Master Liao would be back in about a month's time. He wanted to increase his cultivation stage further so that he could challenge five Elite Cadets and promote to another rank before asking Master Liao to help him treat Jiang Xiaonu.

He had already decided in his heart that once Jiang Xiaonu was treated, he would immediately elope with her and Jiang Yunhai. He even wanted to leave the Divine Martial Kingdom as he didn't want to live under the eyes of Jiang Bieli, which made him uncomfortable.

Actually… even if Jiang Yi didn't increase in cultivation stage, he would probably pass the promotion test easily—even if he had to face five Elite Cadets. Right now, he could even challenge Prodigy Cadets. With the Massacre Intent activated, even the no.1 cadet, Princess Yum Fei, wouldn't be able to resist, right? In fact, in the hearts of the cadets, they had already treated Jiang Yi as the no.1 in strength; it was just that Jiang Yi didn't know about it.

Of course, there was another reason why Jiang Yi cultivating as though his life depended on it: he was running.

He could feel the strange gazes from all the cadets and mentors, which made him very uncomfortable. He would rather hide and cultivate.

Before the sky was bright, Jiang Yi had already gone to the cultivation room and would only return to his courtyard to rest when the sky was completely dark. Originally, after he promoted to an Ordinary Cadet, he would be able to change his lodgings. However, he wasn't that particular about such things, and he was living rather comfortably with Qian Wanguan, which was why he declined it.

After half a month, the incident quickly subsided due to Jiang Yi's low-profile. After over twenty days, Jiang Yi's peaceful cultivation routine was finally broken. The sky was completely dark, and Jiang Yi was on his way back to his courtyard to have his meal. He unexpectedly saw Su Ruoxue.

"Master Liao is back."

Su Ruoxue went straight to the point. Jiang Yi's eyes immediately brightened up and spoke softly, "When are we going to meet him? Should I go for the challenge and be promoted to Elite Cadet?"

Su Ruoxue swept a look at Qian Wanguan who stood at the side. He was tactful enough to walk away with a laugh. Qian Wanguan even closed the doors and sent dubious hints with his eyes to Jiang Yi, which made Su Ruoxue so mad.

"Jiang Yi!"

After Qian Wanguan left, Su Ruoxue sighed, "You should know that Jiang Rentu offended Principal Qi back at the Ten-Thousand Dragons Valley. So, it is impossible to ask her for a favor. If… you can go ask for Principal Zhuge's assistance, things will be much easier."

"Principal Zhuge? Not going!" Jiang Yi's eyes went cold and promptly rejected.

Zhuge Qingyun and Jiang Bieli were buddies that went through life-and-death hardships. If he was to seek assistance from Zhuge Qingyun, it would mean to seek assistance from Jiang Bieli. If Jiang Yi was going to ask Jiang Bieli for help, he didn't need to come to the Mt. Spirit Beast College.

"I just have to try my luck!"

Su Ruoxue let out a light sigh and said, "Come, let me bring you to see Master Liao first. If he doesn't want to see you, then you can go take the promotion challenge. You better be mentally prepared. Without the Principals' assistance, the conditions that Master Liao would ask for might be something that you can never achieve."

"As long as he can treat Xiaonu, any condition is fine!" Jiang Yi revealed a light smile. He wasn't the same trash as before; this Master Liao wouldn't ask for a saint-tier artifact, right?

The two of them walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the inner courtyard. After 30 minutes, they arrived at a luxurious courtyard.

The door was closed. When Su Ruoxue knocked on the door, a maidservant quickly came. After Su Ruoxue explained everything, that maidservant closed the doors and went in to report.

In the end, both of them waited for an hour on the outside before the maidservant opened the door again. She gave an indifferent look at Jiang Yi and said, "Master Liao's instruction. Mentor Su may enter, but he shall not attend to other miscellaneous people."
