Chapter 433: Traveler Returning Ho (Two)
Upon seeing Jian Chen, the officer cordially greeted Jian Chen.
After the officer left, Jian Chen spoke to the mother and son, “Aunty, Sans, is this place agreeable with you?”
“All is well. That officer was a little too enthusiastic, we’ve felt a little too pampered.” The mother joked.
After she replied, Jian Chen exchanged several words with the mother and son before finally knowing their full nas. The mother was called Shen Fang and was born in a small mountain village. Both of her parents had died long ago and Kendall was soone who had grown up with her. Even from the start, the two of them had felt an affinity for each other and had been married there in the village.
Sans’ real na was Ken Xiaosan.The na was a little crude sounding, but the village elder had been unable to find a better sounding na. At Kendall’s suggestion, Ken Xiaosan beca Sans’ na.
Kendall had been the strongest in the village, by the age of twenty-one, he had been able to form his Saint Weapon. As a result, he had often gone into the mountains to hunt for boar, thus earning the respect of the entire village. However, the village life did not suit him despite the comfort it provided. For the sake of improving his strength and making a better life for his son, he left the village by himself shortly after Sans was born to travel the continent.
For the next twenty years, Kendall would co back ho every so often with plenty of money. The family situation back at ho had slowly improved, and he even had several Class 1 Monster Cores for Sans to cultivate with. As their family life grew better, they eventually ca to a Second Class City in the Qiangan Kingdom and opened up a small inn for ten years.
“My lord, our Kendall would always co back ho at least two or three tis every year. But in the recent years, he hasn’t sent a letter back ho or ca back even once. My lord, please tell . Where has my Kendall gone to?” The mother Shen Fang asked once more with a hopeful look.
Jian Chen gave a ntal sigh as he wiped away any emotion on his face. “Aunty, a few years ago, uncle Kendall ca across a very profitable mission and had to go to a far away kingdom. It’s already been two years, so I’m sure he’ll be ho soon.” Jian Chen didn’t wish to worry the mother and quickly ca up with an excuse. Although he knew that sooner or later the truth would co out, if he could delay it for now, then the two would co to terms that sothing had happened to him by themselves. They would at least be prepared, and when the ti ca for Jian Chen to tell them, they would not be as hurt.
Shen Fang had no reason to doubt Jian Chen’s words and had a small smile on her face as she muttered, “No wonder he didn’t co ho after all this ti, he’s already gone far away.”
After a while, Jian Chen left the place. He had already planned to take the two back to Lore City where the Changyang Manor was. With his identity, he had no doubt that no one would dare do anything to them.
For the sake of the two, Jian Chen waited another day to let them rest. Otherwise, he would have long since rushed to the Changyang Manor.
On the second morning, news from the southern stronghold reported that the Andreas Kingdom had finally fully withdrawn their entire army from the Gesun Kingdom. At the sa ti, they sent a letter to the king of the Gesun Kingdom with a promise to compensate them for the war. Aside from this, the Andreas Kingdom had also sent the pri minister and prince to the Gesun Kingdom as a sign of good faith.
Simultaneously, general Liu received an edict from the king in hopes that all the generals of the strongholds could oversee the retreat of the enemy armies and maintain the strongholds once more.
By now, the war that had gone on for many months had finally co to an end, but this final conclusion was sothing that no one had expected. Many of the surrounding kingdoms that had remained impartial to the war sent n to find out what had happened.
Not too long afterward, shocking information made its way around. However only the major powers or leaders of each kingdom understood what the information ant, shocking them all.
The Gesun Kingdom had managed to build a relationship with one of the Eight Great Powers, the Qinhuang Kingdom. Although the distance between the two kingdoms was extrely far, the might of one of the Eight Great Powers could not be belittled.
Aside from this, the Gesun Kingdom also had a strange youth that was unbelievably strong. He had first appeared at the Pingyang Kingdom’s imperial palace and taken the king himself captive. After that, he had gone to the Qiangan Kingdom and killed two experts over there before finally destroying the kingdom’s Yangji Sect. He had also killed over a dozen Heaven Saint Masters from three different kingdoms, such an achievent was astounding.
“Did the Changyang clan’s ancestor return? No one else but him could have such a strength.”
“Has the ancestor of the Changyang clan made the breakthrough?”
Many experts who heard the news imdiately thought of the sa person.
After hearing that the Gesun Kingdom and the Qinhuang Kingdom were related, the news began to spread farther and farther away. Even the kingdoms countless of kiloters away heard the news and dispatched several envoys to co congratulate the Gesun Kingdom.
About half a hundred thousand kiloters away, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom heard the news. The Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was one of the strongest kingdoms around and easily had double the population of the Gesun Kingdom. Within the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, there were sixteen Heaven Saint Masters.
Within the imperial palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the monarch sat in a giant throne room with an elder and youth kneeling down before him.
Sitting upon the dragon throne, the king of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom gave a gentle sigh, “Who would have thought that the Gesun Kingdom would have beco good enough friends with the Qinhuang Kingdom that they were given several Imperial Advisors for assistance? How inconceivable.” The king looked down to the two people kneeling in front of him, “My son, pri minister Che, I’ve called you here today to give you an important mission. I want you to set out to the Gesun Kingdom tomorrow with gifts for them. Ascertain the relationship between the Gesun Kingdom and then the Qinhuang Kingdom. Pri minister Che, you should know what to do afterward.”
“Your servant understands.” The elder spoke.
“Good!” The king muttered before speaking once more, “The lands that the Gesun Kingdom occupy are extrely fertile. Provided they are given ti, they will sooner or later develop into a kingdom that is no weaker than our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. No matter what relationship they hold with the Qinhuang Kingdom, it is worth our ti to make friends with them to benefit us. I’ve heard that the king of the Gesun Kingdom dotes upon the princess Ge Lan who is rumored to be the most beautiful woman in the Gesun Kingdom. She even has a talent for cultivation as well. My son, your priority is have her hand in marriage so that our two kingdoms will be tied together by marriage.”
“Your son will follow father’s order!”
......
With the great war coming to a close, all of the Heaven Saint Masters protecting the strongholds were withdrawn as well. By the second day, Jian Chen and the others planned to leave, but before they could do so, general Liu suddenly found them and said, “Honored Imperial Protector, we hope that your group will be able give us the honor of receiving you at the imperial palace.”
Without hesitation, Jian Chen replied, “I still have sothing important to do, Xiao Tian, you go in my stead.”
“Yes, Imperial Protector.” Xiao Tian bowed.
There was a regretful look on the general’s face, but he understood the aning. It was beneath an Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom to attend such a eting, but having a regular Imperial Advisor was still more than enough face for the Gesun Kingdom.
“Imperial Protector, where should we go to find you afterward?” Xiao Tian spoke.
“Go to Lore city, I will be heading there in a short mont.” Jian Chen spoke.
“Lore City!” General Liu imdiately made note to rember the na.
After the exchange, Jian Chen took both Shen Fang and Sans away from the city and speed off into the distance toward Lore City.
It was as if he had entered a whole new world where many years had passed. Jian Chen had left the Changyang Manor many years ago as a result of the Hua Yun Sect. Forced to hide his face, Jian Chen had to leave the Gesun Kingdom. When he was a young child he never would have thought that he would have made the transformation to beco a triumphant hero.
Jian Chen flew through the air with the wind blowing past his face and whistling in his ears with a sharp sound.
The mother and son were protected by the wind elent around them aning they could freely fly without a problem.
Jian Chen had a strange look on his face as he looked forward and thought to himself.
“Changyang clan, will you still rember the na, Changyang Xiangtian?”
“Hua Yun Sect, how clearly do you rember the youth that you forced away?”
