Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Sister Jingyi

Hearing that it was his grandfather’s sixtieth birthday, Yang Xiaotian said, “Then I’ll go back to Divine Sea Country with you.”

It had been some years since he had seen his grandfather.

In his memory, his grandfather was very good to him, always buying lots of candy for him and his sister whenever they visited.

He also wanted to go back and see how Divine Sword Academy was doing, as he was still the Hall Master of the Sword Hall there.

He wondered what Divine Sword Academy was like now.

Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat emotional.

He still clearly remembered the scene when Chen Yuan had taken him from Yang Family Manor to Divine Sword Academy.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

Huang Ying was very happy to hear that her son would return to Divine Sea Country with her, and she said with a smile, “Good, I’ll go back right now to prepare with your father. We’ll return to Divine Sea Country tomorrow.”

Seeing his mother’s joyous demeanor, Yang Xiaotian smiled.

The next day, Yang Xiaotian, accompanied by his mother, departed from True Dragon Divine Sect and began their journey back to Divine Sea Country.

However, his sister Yang Ling’er had entered a secret realm for training just a few days earlier and wouldn’t return for a month, so she couldn’t join them back to Divine Sea Country this time.

This time, Yang Xiaotian didn’t bring many people with him, just Wu Qi, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and of course, Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin, Wu Qi, and Luo Qing were among the first to follow him.

Knowing they were returning to Divine Sea Country, Xiao Jin was the happiest, with its tail nearly always held high.

Since there was no rush, the group chatted and laughed, enjoying the landscapes and waters along the way back to Divine Sea Country.

By the time the group arrived at Divine Sea Royal City, it had already grown dark.

The lights were just coming on.

On the streets of Divine Sea Royal City, there was a bustling crowd, with merchants and foot soldiers, all very lively.

True Dragon Divine Sect was like a paradise on earth, with its mountains and Spirit Beasts, while Divine Sea Royal City, in everyone’s eyes now, seemed no different than the mortal world.

But the streets of the mundane Divine Sea Royal City had their own unique beauty.

Yang Xiaotian and company walked along the streets of the Royal City, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar shops on both sides.

“Father, let’s stay in the Royal City for the night today and continue our journey tomorrow,” Yang Xiaotian suggested.

Yang Chao nodded.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian asked Luo Qing to find a place to stay.

As Yang Xiaotian and his group were passing by a small teahouse, they saw several beautiful women coming out.

The woman in the lead was dressed in a light black silk gown, coldly glamorous and charming. There was a faint worry between her brows, as if she was troubled by something, but it only made her seem more pitiable.

Seeing the woman, Yang Xiaotian was surprised, “Jingyi sister.”

The woman was none other than Wen Jingyi from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.

Although they hadn’t seen each other for several years, Wen Jingyi’s appearance hadn’t changed much. She looked even more mature and was even fairer.

Wen Jingyi, lost in thought, heard someone call out ‘Jingyi sister’, and looked up at Yang Xiaotian in confusion and surprise.

Several years had passed and Yang Xiaotian had grown from a little kid to a young adolescent, his appearance considerably changed, so she failed to recognize him at first.

She just felt that the handsome young man in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

However, when she saw Wu Qi next to Yang Xiaotian, she realized who it was, and her pretty face lit up with surprise. Covering her mouth, she excitedly said, “You’re little brother!”

Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, “I thought sister had forgotten me.”

Seeing that it was indeed Yang Xiaotian, Wen Jingyi felt joy descending from the heavens; her face lit up with exceptional happiness, and she stepped forward excitedly, “Little brother, it really is you! You’ve grown up so much!”

She was so excited that she compared her jade hand to the top of Yang Xiaotian’s head.

In the past, Yang Xiaotian was only as tall as her chest.

Several years had passed, and now Yang Xiaotian was as tall as she was.

With Wen Jingyi right before him, a woman’s fragrance wafted into Yang Xiaotian’s nose, and he couldn’t help but recall the charming scenes when they once rode a horse together.

The scent of Wen Jingyi’s body was even more pleasant than before.

After the excitement, Wen Jingyi suddenly realized her actions were a bit too intimate, her pretty face flushed red; she turned to greet Yang Chao and Huang Ying: “Uncle, Aunt.”

She had met Yang Chao and Huang Ying back in the Royal City years ago.

“Miss Wen,” Huang Ying said with a nod and a smile, looking at the stunningly beautiful Wen Jingyi before her.

Back in Xingyue City, she had heard of Wen Jingyi’s renowned beauty.

“Little brother, where have you been all these years? You didn’t even come to see your sister,” Wen Jingyi looked at Yang Xiaotian with a touch of wistful longing.

Yang Xiaotian felt a bit embarrassed by Wen Jingyi’s longing gaze: “I haven’t been in Divine Sea Country these past few years, but I have often thought of sister,” he said.

That was indeed true.

Occasionally, Yang Xiaotian would remember riding on the same horse with Wen Jingyi.

When Yang Xiaotian said he often thought of her, Wen Jingyi felt delighted inside, and she laughed, “Really? You do have a conscience.”

Yang Chao stood aside, watching his son and Wen Jingyi exchange pleasantries, and he couldn’t help but feel moved, thinking this young man was charming to both the young and the old.

Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian was looking for a place to stay, Wen Jingyi offered warmly, “Little brother, Aunt, if you don’t mind, you could stay at my house, there are plenty of rooms there.”

“Sure, then we’ll impose on sister,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian agree, Wen Jingyi was very pleased and then excitedly invited Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and Huang Ying to her house.

“Little brother, your skin is so nice. Do you still have that wine?” Wen Jingyi asked Yang Xiaotian with a smile along the way.

Yang Xiaotian immediately took out two large bottles and gave them to Wen Jingyi.

Wen Jingyi treasured them like precious jewels, carefully storing the wine away.

However, just as they were heading to Wen Jingyi’s house, they saw a group of people approaching them face-to-face.

Seeing this group of people, Wen Jingyi’s face, still full of smiles just a moment ago, stiffened.

“Hey, isn’t this Miss Jingyi? Where might Miss Jingyi be going?” The young man leading the opposite group saw Wen Jingyi and was all smiles as he walked over, blocking the way forward for Yang Xiaotian and Wen Jingyi.

“Tu Kang, where our missus is going is none of your business. Get out of the way!” the maid following Wen Jingyi said with disgust and anger as she looked at the young man.

Upon hearing this, Tu Kang sneered, “You’re nothing but a lowly servant; it’s not your place to speak here.” He then said, “If you utter another ‘get out’, believe it or not, I’ll have someone strip you naked right now!”

The maids behind Wen Jingyi were so angry that their faces turned livid.

“Get out of the way!” Wen Jingyi coldly stared at the man, speaking up.

Seeing Wen Jingyi’s anger, Tu Kang smiled, “Miss Jingyi looks so beautiful even when she’s angry.” He couldn’t help reaching out his hand, intending to touch Wen Jingyi’s face.

However, his hand was barely halfway there when Yang Xiaotian grabbed it firmly.

Tu Kang was taken aback and tried to pull his hand back, only to find that he couldn’t budge it, and he glared at Yang Xiaotian furiously, “Kid, who are you? Do you know who I am?”

“Oh, who are you?” Yang Xiaotian said expressionlessly, he applied pressure to the hand, and Tu Kang’s fingers cracked loudly, causing Tu Kang so much pain that his face was contorted.

Seeing this, Tu Kang’s group of subordinates was outraged and one of them suddenly threw a punch at Yang Xiaotian.

The punch whistled through the air, its strength formidable, revealing that the attacker was an Innate of the tenth layer.
