Chapter 1132: Return to the Jiang Family
Going to the Jiang Family?
Gu Yu and the others were puzzled and asked, "Didn’t we discuss everything when we went to the Jiang Family earlier?"
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow. "Who said going to the Jiang Family must be about the great war in Yudu?"
Lines appeared on Gu Yu’s forehead, and exchanging a glance with Zhao Yi, both gave him the middle finger and shot him a disdainful look. "Damn, do you have to sprinkle some dog food at a time like this?"
Liu Zixuan chuckled teasingly. "You guys can stay here as lonely single dogs. This young master is off to find some pretty girls!"
With that, Liu Zixuan got a car from the Mo Family, turned on the navigation, and directly headed to the Jiang Family.
The purpose of this trip was indeed to see Jiang Yiyi. It had been a while and he wondered how she had been. But it’s not entirely for romance; he wanted to find Jiang Yifan to ask about a realm issue.
Previously on his first visit to the Jiang Family, Qiqi mentioned that Jiang Yifan was very powerful. The strength Qiqi displayed was at the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven, but she could easily defeat monkeys of the same realm, proving that Qiqi, like Liu Zixuan, had an invincible card at the same realm.
But even someone as powerful as Qiqi couldn’t see through Jiang Yifan’s strength, which could suggest that Jiang Yifan might have reached the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven, or perhaps a mysterious realm beyond the Emperor Realm.
Liu Zixuan had closed his door in seclusion to break through realms, stabilizing his realm while on the road and striving toward the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven.
Back when his cultivation technique was sealed, a chat with Ye Lianyi in Lingxiu Village made him realize some aspects of a mysterious realm beyond the Emperor Realm.
That mysterious realm was far more complex than Liu Zixuan imagined. While understanding the theoretical profound meaning, there remained an insurmountable barrier to actually breaking through.
In other words, it was the bottleneck from the Emperor Realm to that mysterious realm.
So this trip was partly to find some insights from Jiang Yifan. Even if he couldn’t break through, he could become more familiar with that realm.
The great battle is imminent, and the old saying rings true: with each bit of strength comes a bit more chance of victory.
Liu Zixuan promised the ladies of Lingxiu Village he would return safely, and he also promised his brothers to lead them to the peak. As the core of this group, he must stay ahead.
Therefore, becoming stronger is the only path for Liu Zixuan, a path he must walk!
He also believed that reaching that mysterious realm would give him enough confidence to face the Netherworld Hall and the Dragon Spirit.
In fact, while pondering these things, he felt a bit elusive in his mind. Those feelings weren’t about that mysterious realm but something that felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
After contemplation, Liu Zixuan speculated that those elusive feelings might be related to the family Qiqi mentioned.
Consequently, Liu Zixuan wondered, does the realm truly have a limit?
If there’s a limit, then the people of the family Qiqi mentioned might be even stronger than that mysterious realm.
If there’s no limit, a single Emperor Realm is enough to halt many martial artists.
These questions puzzled Liu Zixuan greatly. Thus, he hoped this trip to the Jiang Family would provide some enlightenment from Jiang Yifan.
...
Two hours later, at the Jiang Family estate.
As soon as he drove onto the street by the Jiang Family, two familiar figures came out to greet him, standing at the estate entrance with smiling faces.
Stopping the car, Liu Zixuan grinned and said, "To be honest, did you notice me as soon as I entered this city?"
"No, we knew from the moment you arrived at the Ai Family yesterday." Wang Liang came over, patted Liu Zixuan’s shoulder, and said, "Let’s go. Brother Fan already knew you were coming!"
"Honestly, I really dislike how he acts all mysterious." Liu Zixuan said with a wry smile.
"Why? Isn’t it cooler for big shots to act mysteriously?" Wang Liang chuckled.
Liu Zixuan shook his head. "Sure, he’s a big shot, and sure, he’s cool, but the key is he’s shameless. Think about a shameless big figure, no matter how mysterious they are, what’s the difference from a wolf in sheep’s clothing?"
Pfft!
The monkey couldn’t help but laugh. "Do you have the guts to say that to his face!"
Liu Zixuan spread his hands. "I really do dare to say it!"
"Blow your hot air!" The monkey glanced at the car. "Isn’t that little girl with you this time?"
"Uncle Monkey, you haven’t got any psychological shadow from being slapped by Qiqi last time, have you? Why are you so scared?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smirk.
The monkey glared at Liu Zixuan without good humor. "I, Monkey, would I hold grudges against a little girl!"
"Qiqi, he called you a little girl!" Liu Zixuan pretended to call into the car seriously.
The monkey jumped back two steps and hid behind Wang Liang, warily watching the car.
Liu Zixuan scoffed, "Qiqi’s not even here!"
"You little brat, you dare trick me!" The monkey rolled up his sleeves. "Without that little girl to back you up, I’m going to beat you today!"
"You idiot!" Wang Liang cursed and pulled Liu Zixuan inside.
The monkey scratched his head. "You idiot Wang Liang, who are you cursing!"
"I’m cursing you." Wang Liang turned back and scolded, "You knew what happened last night, do you really think fighting him now will do you any good?"
"I..." The monkey’s face turned red, struggling for words before shouting, "Can’t even joke around a bit!"
Wang Liang shook his head helplessly. "Looks like your two months of seclusion paid off!"
Liu Zixuan grinned. "Yeah, can’t believe it’s been over two months since the first visit to the Jiang Family."
"Your growth speed surprised even Brother Fan. Initially, he planned you wouldn’t come again before the battle, but didn’t expect..." Wang Liang stopped here, "But it’s a good thing. At least your strengthening is beneficial to the Star Sea!"
"To be honest, do you have a fortune-teller on your side, otherwise how would you know so much about me?"
From Lingxiu Village to Star Sea’s west, Ai Family troubles, Mo Family issues, as well as Liu Zixuan’s strength enhancement, Wang Liang and the others seemed to know it all, which might not be possible unless there’s someone like Gu Yu involved.
Wang Liang smiled mysteriously. "That’s a Jiang Family secret, can’t easily reveal it. However, if you ever marry our young lady, you’ll naturally understand."
As he spoke, Wang Liang patted Liu Zixuan’s shoulder with a meaningful smile. "The Jiang Family, though not as deep as hidden families or sects, in terms of strength and foundation, it’s not as simple as you see!"
