Chapter 196: Arrived at Xianlai Island
In the main hall of the Cloud Mist Sect, there was an old man dressed in white with a sword at his waist.
Although he looked old, judging from his temperament, it was clear that this person had an imposing aura even when he was young.
Chen Chiran held the sword at his waist and looked at the mirror in his hand.
There was a message from his daughter in the mirror.
When he saw that his eldest grandson had been beaten, Chen Chiran flew into a rage.
He slapped the guard who was serving him!
The guard was also at a loss. Why did he get slapped!
The latest message in the mirror said that the group of people who had injured his eldest grandson was currently heading to Xianlai Island.
Chen Chiran waved his hand and called the elders of the sect over.
He told the elders that he was going out.
They would be in charge of the matters in the sect. If they could not make a decision, they would wait for him to come back and discuss it.
After giving his instructions, Chen Chiran did not wait for a moment. He flew straight into the air.
His direction was not Xianlai Island as mentioned in the message. Instead, he went to Nanwu City first.
On the side of Nanwu City, Wen Quanyong was still lying on the bed. However, his mental state was much better. At least he was not screaming and breaking down.
Chen Yulian had been guarding the bedside the whole time. Afraid that something would happen to her son.
Chen Chiran slowly landed in the mayor’s mansion.
This was the first time Chen Chiran had come to the mayor’s mansion since his daughter married Wen Lin.
In his own words, he already wasn’t satisfied with his son-in-law. It was already good enough that he did not come and tear down his mayor’s mansion.
Why would he even think about visiting them!
Chen Chiran was not familiar with the place. He circled around the mayor’s mansion, but he did not see his daughter.
A servant of the mayor’s mansion saw Chen Chiran. He looked unfamiliar, and he did not have a gatekeeper with him.
He was afraid that he did not enter through the main gate.
That servant berated this old man whom he had never seen before.
“Who are you! Why are you wandering around the mayor’s mansion? Does our master know you?”
Chen Chiran, who was already in a fit of anger, saw that a servant dared to speak to him in such a manner.
He pulled out his sword and placed it on the servant’s neck.
The servant was so frightened that he trembled.
“Where is your mistress?”
The servant forced out a few words from his mouth.
“In… In the young master’s room.”
The old man used his sword to pat the servant’s cheek.
“Lead the way!”
The servant trembled as he walked in front.
The latter kept his sword on the servant’s shoulder and held it against his neck.
“Sir, this is our young master’s room…”
Chen Chiran nodded and put away his sword. He held it with his backhand and used the hilt of his sword to hit the servant’s head.
The servant’s head bled as he jumped to the side and wailed.
If it were not for his daughter’s sake, Chen Chiran would consider killing this servant a light punishment.
Now, he had only given him a small punishment.
He was very magnanimous.
Chen Yulian, who was in the room, heard the commotion outside the door.
She, who was already upset, was even more furious.
She stood up and was about to go out and teach these unruly servants a lesson.
“What’s going on? Don’t you know that the young master is resting?”
“Why is there such a huge commotion!”
Before she even opened the door, Chen Yulian had already cursed out loud.
When she opened the door and saw an old man dressed in white standing in front of her with a sword in his hand, tears welled up in Chen Yulian’s eyes and she immediately cried out.
“Father!”
The old man’s heart ached when he saw this. He sheathed his sword and stroked the girl’s hair just like when she was young.
“It’s alright. Father is here. Let’s go in and see Quan’er first.”
Chen Yulian rubbed the corner of her eyes and brought Chen Chiran into the room.
Wen Quanyong was still sleeping.
His head was wrapped in gauze, and his feet were tied with leg support.
Chen Chiran squatted beside the bed and checked the condition of his eldest grandson’s injuries.
“These are just superficial injuries. It’s not a big deal. It’s just that…”
Just as the old man was still rephrasing his words, Chen Yulian quickly asked.
“Just what?”
Chen Chiran withdrew the spiritual energy from Wen Quanyong’s body to check.
“It’s just that his state of mind might be slightly damaged. This will hinder his future life and cultivation.”
Chen Yulian’s eyes were filled with worry.
“Father! What should we do!”
The old man gently patted the back of the woman’s hand, telling her not to be anxious.
“I will return the favor to the person by hurting his state of mind. Then, I will capture that girl and make her apologize to my grandson.”
“So that they will know who doesn’t have an elder.”
Chen Yulian softly acknowledged and calmed herself down.
“Wen Lin is already following them now. Father, why don’t we leave now? Otherwise, we won’t be able to make it in time!”
Chen Chiran nodded.
“He has already told me the destination of that group of people.”
“The group of people’s destination is Xianlai Island. They should be taking the ferry.”
“The fastest ferry will take a week to reach the shore. We can make it in time.”
“Also, you don’t have to go. You don’t like to cultivate since you were young. If your cultivation is not high, you might get hurt.”
The old man patiently explained to Chen Yulian.
Chen Yulian didn’t force herself and nodded.
“Then I’ll stay at home and take care of Quan’er.”
Chen Chiran put his hands on his knees and stood up.
“I’ll rush over now. I’ll probably arrive tomorrow morning.”
“Just wait at home.”
After saying that, Chen Chiran frowned and grunted. He flew directly to Xianlai Island.
The size of Xianlai Island was no less than a city. Moreover, the flow of people on the island was much more than that of Nanwu City and Yellow Clouds City.
This was because this was an island for ferry stopovers.
Originally, there was nothing on the island. It was bare and barren. After it became popular, all kinds of restaurants, inns, and auction venues were built.
Many things that could not be bought in ordinary places could be found here.
The island was basically full of cultivators, so the currency in circulation was only spirit stones.
When Jiang Ping and his group arrived at Xianlai Island, it was already evening.
The two white cranes landed on the ground. The little ones were tired from sitting, and they were so hungry that their stomachs were rumbling.
Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi were still lagging behind, and Jiang Ping and the others tacitly did not mention that they had to wait for the two of them.
Zhao Tianqian and Jiang Ping both turned around and patted the back of the two white cranes, using their spiritual energy to send a message.
After the two white cranes received the message, they flapped their wings and returned the way they came.
Then, the group stepped onto the island.
They saw the bustling scene on Xianlai Island.
Along the way, there were all kinds of shouting and selling, and all sorts of fancy things that they had never seen before.
The three little girls were moved by the sight.
But Jiang Ping had already told them before they came to the island.
They could buy things, but they were only allowed to buy one item. If it was more than one, he would not help pay for it.
The three little girls suddenly regretted agreeing to Jiang Ping’s request of only buying one item.
Along the way, the little girls were attracted by the shouting and selling along the way. Except for He Xiangjiang, he did not seem to hear it.
He was facing the front, ignoring everything else.
