Chapter 1074: Leaving the Jiang Family
Jiang Yifan gazed at the star-filled sky and said with a meaningful smile, "It’s a simple principle. During this period, the Netherworld Hall won’t let the Star Sea Martial Realm have peace, nor will they allow any chance for it to catch its breath or strengthen. So they’ll find ways to disrupt."
"I fear this time the disruption won’t be on the usual Martial Realm level!" Liu Zixuan said, stroking his chin.
Jiang Yifan nodded, "It’s the hidden sects, and of course, our Jiang Family won’t be left out, so what happened with the Celestial Dao Alliance before was just minor skirmishes within the Star Sea Martial Realm!"
Saying this, Jiang Yifan suddenly turned around, looked seriously at Liu Zixuan, and said solemnly, "Previously, they said the battle at the peak of Yudu was a storm, but in reality, it was just the gathering point of the storm. Beyond that, the real storm begins."
"I understand, real wars are often not terrifying, the most annoying are the repeated disruptive battles." Liu Zixuan frowned, "Whether the Netherworld Hall can be completely destroyed, I’m afraid the details will decide the outcome."
"That’s right. So, it will give you a good growth period."
Jiang Yifan smiled playfully, "In the eyes of the Netherworld Hall, you Liu Zixuan and the Lingxiu Village behind you can undoubtedly be ignored now because your realm is sealed. Now, their disruption is primarily targeting the major hidden sects!"
"So, you can take advantage of this period, quickly improve your cultivation, and make the greatest contribution when the battle of Yudu comes!"
Liu Zixuan spread his hands with a wry smile, "Looks like... I have quite a bit of pressure!"
"This is a battle concerning the destiny of the Star Sea Martial Realm; no one can shrink back or evade!" Jiang Yifan stood with hands behind his back, walking towards the front hall as he said, "Moreover, I suspect it won’t just be in the Martial Realm; the Netherworld Hall’s ambitions are so large, it might even involve other areas, like the business world!"
Liu Zixuan suddenly realized something and said, "True, any organization in today’s world can’t stand without money, and with the Star Sea Business Community being so prosperous now, they’ll certainly try to tear a gap in it."
"You’ll be busy next!" Jiang Yifan sneered, "Fortunately, I foresaw this and reined in all my own businesses, unlike you who spread them all over the country!"
Liu Zixuan’s forehead instantly bore a few black lines; he rolled his eyes at Jiang Yifan, muttering, "Consider that billion as a debt I owe you. If I lose everything, I’ll come to you for money!"
Jiang Yifan stopped in his tracks, turning his head to curse, "You shameless bastard, where’s the billion, that was an IOU, you owe me!"
"Hehe." Liu Zixuan moved closer, smiling mischievously, "Uncle Jiang, just think of it as the dowry you gave to Yiyi!"
"Bah, no dowry is that much!" Jiang Yifan instinctively retorted.
Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows, calling to Jiang Yiyi, who was sitting on the sofa, "Yiyi, your dad says you’re not worth much, see this..."
Liu Zixuan hadn’t even finished his sentence when Jiang Yifan immediately covered his mouth, giving Jiang Yiyi a slight smile, "Don’t listen to his nonsense; you’re the most precious priceless treasure in the world!"
Jiang Yiyi looked at them in bewilderment and then went back to chatting with Aunt Bing and others.
Jiang Yifan glared at Liu Zixuan viciously, "Curse you!"
"Same to you!" Liu Zixuan hummed proudly, sitting directly beside Qiqi, "Little Qi, pack up your things, have a good sleep, and we’ll go home tomorrow!"
"Huh? So soon?" Qiqi was stunned for a moment, "Didn’t we just come out for a day?"
Liu Zixuan laughed, playing with Qiqi’s hair, "There’s still a lot to do, once it’s all over, I’ll take you out for a good time!"
"As long as I’m with brother, I’m happy anywhere!" Qiqi said with an adorable smile.
"Only you can make Qiqi smile so innocently." Jiang Yiyi said from the side, "All afternoon, she’s been sitting alone. Even when we talked to her, she only responded once and wouldn’t say more!"
"Maybe this child is a bit shy." Liu Zixuan asked, "Are you staying with the family for a while first, or will you come back to Lingxiu Village with me?"
"I’ll probably stay home for a few days; it’s my mother’s birthday soon, so I’ll go to Lingxiu Village after celebrating it with her."
Liu Zixuan scratched his head, "By the way, I’ve met your aunts, but why haven’t I seen your mother?"
Jiang Yiyi laughed, "She’s traveling abroad. And to correct you, you haven’t met all my aunts yet, since two of them went with my mom!"
Liu Zixuan was taken aback, "Looks like your dad is really capable!"
"Can’t you compete on something better? Anyway, you men are all playboys!" Jiang Yiyi huffed angrily and then walked aside.
Qiqi wrapped her arm around Liu Zixuan’s, "Brother, are you jealous that Jiang Yifan has many wives?"
"Well..."
Faced with such an innocent and lively little girl, it’s quite hard to say out loud.
If someone else asked, Liu Zixuan might say he’s envious, after all, which man would mind having too few women? But if a familiar person asked, then it’s not really envy, after all, Liu Zixuan has quite a few close female friends himself.
"Now in the Star Sea, it’s absolutely not allowed to marry many wives, except for people like Jiang Yifan, but over on our side, it’s possible!"
Listening to Qiqi, Liu Zixuan curiously asked, "Our side? Which side is that?"
Qiqi seemed to realize she had let something slip and quickly laughed, "You’ll know when you go back later!"
"When can I go back then? Can’t you tell me?"
"Nope." Qiqi pouted, "If I tell you now, I’d be punished and wouldn’t be able to stay with brother then."
"Alright, then we won’t talk about it!"
Sometimes, the few words that Qiqi blurted out always gave Liu Zixuan a strange feeling.
It seemed that he or Qiqi’s background was very mysterious, almost as if it wasn’t from this era.
But whether it was Liu Zixuan or Qiqi, they were both genuine Star Sea people. Could it be that besides hidden sects and hidden families, there are even more secretive families in this world?
Involuntarily, it made Liu Zixuan even more endlessly curious about this world.
In the evening, Liu Zixuan and Qiqi were arranged by Jiang Yiyi to rest in Wang Liang’s annex. The next morning, Liu Zixuan went out to buy some special gifts for Jiang Yiyi to give to her mother, since knowing about her upcoming birthday, naturally some gifts should be prepared.
Once everything was done, he and Qiqi got into the car, bid farewell to everyone, and headed back to Lingxiu Village.
Jiang Yiyi stayed with the family, while Jiang Yunxuan ventured out alone for training. Liu Zixuan felt assured, as with the vast Jiang Family behind, Jiang Yunxuan would certainly not encounter any danger.
