Chapter 26

"You—you—you!"

Cao Chenghua pointed at Xiao Hai, totally speechless . Who would ask him to refine panaceas in the future?!

Xiao Hai was so embarrassed that he wanted to slap himself . He hadn't expected his secret to be found out . After all, he was only beaten for insulting Gao Yue .

He hadn't expected Jiang Chen to have been keeping quiet about what he had found out .

"You are not my apprentice anymore . From now on, I have nothing to do with you . "

"Master!" Xiao Hai screamed, horrified .

Cao Chenghua ignored him . He took a deep breath, looked over to Jiang Wentian and said, "Lord Jiang, it's my bad . I'll compensate for all your losses in the past two years . "

"No, no, you don't have to . " Seeing such a turnaround, Jiang Wentian felt the turn of events was very exciting .

"Master Cao, you can't let it go like this . They beat the hell out of your apprentice . " Gui Ya was very unhappy with what was happening .

"His master is a class six alchemist!"

To everyone's surprise, Gui Ya almost fell out of the ring when she heard Cao Chenghua . She exclaimed astonishedly, "How is this possible?"

"Why couldn't it be? And that's only a conservative estimate . Alchemists who can refine holy class one panaceas with such a high success rate have to be a class six or seven at least . "

"This…this…this…" Gui Ya was speechless . Her forehead was dripping with sweat .

Jiang Chen said suddenly, "Master Cao, my master told me that your problem was with the fire . You changed the fire from a roaring one to a softer one at the wrong time . "

Then he stopped for a while, looked around vigilantly and whispered in Cao Chenghua's ear .

Cao Chenghua was dumbfounded by what he heard and became wild with joy . He said excitedly, "Yes, exactly! Why didn't I consider that? Thank you so much! Thank you!"

People stood there astonished when they saw how Cao Chenghua forgot himself upon hearing what Jiang Chen told him .

Gui Ya really believed it this time . She promptly changed her arrogant attitude and said, "Lord Jiang, I was a little muddled when I said those things just now . Please don't take it too seriously . "

"Really? Weren't you threatening me seriously just now?"

"It's only a misunderstanding . "

"I heard that Su Qian tore my certificate of divorce?" Jiang Chen said .

"Yes . "

"All right . I'll write another one today . And I want you and your apprentice to send it to the Su Mansion in person . Then I'll let bygones be bygones," Jiang Chen said ruthlessly .

Although Murong Feng and Li Lie didn't know what had happened, from what they'd heard, they knew why Meng Fei was rocking the boat . But in the end, he hadn't succeeded . What was more, he had to take the divorce certificate back .

Su Qian would be very disappointed when she saw it .

"No problem," Gui Ya accepted promptly, regardless of Meng Fei's opinion . "We're leaving . "

Gui Ya began to drag Meng Fei out of the place . Liu Fei also followed them .

"Don't leave so soon . Take a seat," Jiang Wentian smiled .

"No, no . We are fine . "

"Meng Fei, did I say you could leave?" Jiang Chen said coldly .

Meng Fei was about to leave, but stopped when he heard Jiang Chen . He turned around with a ferocious expression .

Gui Ya was confused since she didn't know what was wrong . Her apprentice Liu Fei told her the story .

"Go apologize to him right away!" Gui Ya ordered .

So Meng Fei went up to Gao Yue .

"No need . Your apology is worthless," Gao Yue stopped him when he was about to say something .

Then Gui Ya and her two apprentices left in silence .

Gui Ya didn't even look back . She had not only come unexpectedly, but left unexpectedly too .

"Ha!"

Jiang Wentian laughed loudly . He was in a good mood . He invited Cao Chenghua to sit in a seat of honor and went back to his seat .

Suddenly he looked at Jiang Tianxiong and said, "Son, it's time to stop . "

"Yes, Father?" Jiang Tianxiong didn't know what he meant .

Jiang Wentian went on, "You can't mess around if you want the family to have a good future . As long as Jiang Chen isn't disabled, even if he is not as good as Jiang Feng, he will succeed the family property .

"I did give thought to making you the west courtyard's successor . But if I do give the Jiang Mansion to you, what shall I do with the east courtyard? Maybe if Jiang Chen were disabled, he wouldn't be able to object to my decision, but what about his offspring? This will be a source of discord for the Jiangs .

"I know you very well . If you make your mind up, you will absolutely be able to weed the east courtyard out .

"But with the internal strife, the Jiang community will lose its cohesion and will grow apart little by little . "

This was easy to understand . Jiang Tianxiong should have known, but he was bewitched and wanted so much to realize his goal that he simply neglected this fact .

At that moment, he finally came to his senses thanks to Jiang Wentian's speech .

"Father, I want the best for the Southwind Ridge," Jiang Tianxiong said . "Since Jiang Chen is doing great, of course he should inherit the family property . Tomorrow I'll return everything that used to belong to the east courtyard to them . "

"Good . And you should provide them with enough manpower," Jiang Wentian nodded, very satisfied .

"Sure . "

. . .

"Eh? Looks like the guy from the Sus also left . "

Fan Tu noticed that Su Qun had left and was amused .

"The guy from the Sus?"

Jiang Chen didn't know they had sent someone over, but he didn't take Fan Tu's words seriously .

"Son, your grandpa asked you to see him in his study after everything is over . " Gao Yue was walking gently . She was so proud of her son that she couldn't help but smile .

However, all of a sudden, there was sadness in her eyes .

Jiang Chen knew what she was thinking . She was wishing his father could be here .

. . .

Jiang Chen went to Jiang Wentian's study when the annual dinner was over .

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Wentian's back . He said to Jiang Chen, "You want to save your father, don't you?"

"Yes . "

"Do you know how powerful the Black Dragon City is and how your revenge will bring disaster to the Jiangs?"

Jiang Wentian turned around . He looked at Jiang Chen with a cold and serious face .

"I will save my father," Jiang Chen said .

"You should know that the Nings are a hundred times more powerful than us . The Black Dragon City is even more powerful than the Hundred Thousand Mountains . " Jiang Wentian's face became more and more serious . "Leave the Southwind Ridge alone . "

"Yeah, I know . "

"You still want to save him?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said, "I will definitely go back to the Black Dragon City to save my father, whatever it may cost me . "

"Fine!"

Jiang Wentian burst into laughter and said, "If you said you wouldn't, I would have slapped you to wake you up . But it looks like I don't have to do that .

"Courage is the most important quality for a man . "

In fact, Jiang Chen had already guessed what his grandpa was going to say . He knew what kind of person his grandpa was after seeing his decision to change the surname of the family .

"But revenge takes time . You will need to grow up, step by step, and be humble . The Swordquest School has offered to accept you as their disciple, but I don't want you to go, since the Black Dragon City will be informed . "

"I understand . "

So Jiang Chen refused Murong Feng and Li Lie with the excuse that he didn't want to leave his mother alone .

Murong Feng and Li Lie were merely disciples of the Swordquest School, so they didn't insist, but to them, it was a pity that Jiang Chen had refused .

In the end they told Jiang Chen that if he changed his mind, he was welcome at the Swordquest School anytime .
