“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.
